volvers. was stuck into him.

POTATO PROFlTEERING

Now it is the potato that has
fallen into the hands of the pro-
fteers. These declare that there
is a scarcity of potatoes and the
lack of the dubious vegetable
accounts for $500 az a retail
price for a bushel ofs.the spuds.
On the other hand it Is claimed
and certainly with absolute cog
ency, that the profiteers are
gouglng the eyes out of.the po-
tatO.
The defenders of the universal
food are up in arms, and they
score this as the limit of prof.
teering indecency. Cabbage
heads have not sense enough to
prevent being sliced up at ten to
twenty cents a pound. But the
potatoes have enough eyes to see
what is going on. Words fail.
What is the use, argument fails,
iocularity is grim, and menaces
are so many pin-pricks to the de-
testable spirit Of greed at the
expense of others that has bred
more lying and indecency in bust
ness than the country has ever
known before.
That there is no real scarcity OF
potatoes is shown by the report
of the Agricultural Department,
that states that the stocks OF po-
tatoes of the 1919 crop now on
farms and in the hands off dealers
total 1923, 1S1, 900. bushels, accord
ing to the Agricultural Depart
ment. This leaves 1.28 bushels
for every person in the United
States until the new crop comes
in. on the basis of a population of
100, 100000.
The new crop begins to appear
on the market in substantial
quantities in June.
Sugar Is the king bee of the
profteers and thieves of the coun-
try, but it has so many strong
seconds that high cost commiss-
ions have become blinded to the
facts in endeavoring to look in so
many directions at the same time.
