ABOUT THE COUNTY !
BRUCE

From the Herald:
Mrs. j. P. Carlson and family Of
Bookings, were in Bruce Tuesday
calling on friends.
o. o. Olson, vice-president of the
First National bank Of Brookings,
transacted business in Bruce Tuesday.
Saturday night Of last week when re-
turning from Bookings, Editor Bailey
and wife and Miss Vivian Doop met
with the accident of having the car
upset. caused by the Icy condition Of
the road. Fortunately no one was hurt
and not much damage was done to the
car. After a short time spent in get.
ting the Jew Packard right side up,
they returned home congratulating
themselves that they escaped without
injury and they don't care for the ex-
p~erience of tipping again.

ranged to fill the demand which was
discovered when war savings stamps
were put out. Liberty bonds are also
being pushed, and the treasury saws
that with reduced prices for commodi-
ties and lower money rates, the mar
ket price for government securities is
bound to appreciate.
Some of the returning statesmen to
Washington are laying the blame of
the cheaper prices of grains and pro-
duce to the gambling operation on
exchanges like the Chicago Board of
Trade, and they are threatening to
enact laws hat will prevent gam
bling in produce" Another scheme Is
to resurrect the war finance plan. and
to attempt extensive financing of the
agricultural interests. 1t seems very
likely that congress will devise some
kind Of methods to help the farmers.
but what these methods will be no

it does seem certain hat the bars
will be closed down tighter than they
ever have been before.
The investigation of the affairs of
the shipping board has been bringing
to light a lot of unpleasant disclo-
sures. Charges of graft are plentiful
enough, but beyond some special petty
instances they do not appear to have
been sustained. What really has de-
veloped is i~ndisputable proof Of gross
ineficiency of methods, and rank ia
voritism in awarding contracts to ia
vorites, who made immense profits
out of their transactions with the gov
eminent.
The shipping board has evidently
been picked as 1.-The goat and it re-
mains to be seen whether the reason
will finally be tagged onto some great
commercial or financial interest that
has as its prize object the ~discrediting
of an American merchant marine, 1t
would not be surprising.
There has been 10 end of boasting
on the part of members of the pres
ent administration that this was one
great war in which there was no scan.
DIAL" The shipping board is proving
an exception. Yet, everybody knows
that the aircraft fiasco was ever worse
than anything that has been fastened
nto the shipping board. Everyone
knows, as well, that the system of
"cost, plus ten per cent" produced
scores of robberes who enriched them
selves at the expense of the public
treasury. There is a scandal hang
ing to most every activity that had to
do with the war; and the peculiar
thing about it all is that most people
simply want to forget it," and charge
up all the shortcomings to the 'imme-
diate necessity" that existed to acquire
full production at any price.
But the poor old shipping board is
being hammered numerically, while
its other companions in sin are escap-
ing without being "scorched."
Secretary Of the Treasury Houston
has been having considerable to say
about the attitude of the American
public with reference to investing in
public securities. and he asserts that
"the treasury Is committed TO the con-
tinued sale OF government savings Sc
