PROFITEERING!

PROFITEERING! The easiest
way to account for the high cost Of
living is to shout, "Profteer." In
some cases profteering is unques-
tionably a factor, but in others, it ap-
pears not at all. Clothing and shoes
are among the absolute necessities,
and everybody is interested in what
ever throws light upon their advance
in price. There is no better author
ity than Col. M. Friesman, chairman
of the New York Fair Price Commit
tees subcommittee on clothing and
shoes. This committee, instead Of
finding p~rofteering, discovered that
many clothing manufacturers were
actually sustaining a loss. High la
Dor costs, subnormal transportation
facilities, frequency of industrial dis
putes limiting production, and extra
vagance on the part of those who
have experienced, because of high
wages, a sudden acquisition of buy
ing power, are the real causes Of high
prices. Col. Friesman holds that con-
troll of prices by the Government will
not remedy the situation, but that re-
lief will be found in the plain virtues
of work and thrift-"work, sincere
and earnest on the part Of every sim

Why Hoover?

David Starr Jordan, Americas pre-
mier pacifst, has suggested the name
of Herbert Hoover, United States
Food Administrator during the war,
as candidate for president.
We do not know just what party
Mr.. Hoover claims to be a member
of, and in fact, during the past sew
eral years, he has been more of a
resident abroad than at home. Never
theless, if he possesses presidential
capacities, this should not be held
too strongly against him. He made
an excellent record as food admins
traitor and is said to be an engineer
of high ability. An engineer might
do as well in craftsmanship as a col
lege professor, and we have an ink
ling that he might be an executive
with frmer backbone.
But there are a number Of staunch
Americans who outshine Hoover and
unless the die is cast with one or the
other of the two great parties, it is
not likely that the Hoover boom will
get very far.

The New Years Oregonian.

All, or nearly all of our readers,
have probably seen the New Years
number of the Portland Morning
Oregonian, so we don't need to tell
YOU how fine it was, but those who
did not get to look it over, we will
say, you missed a rar treat. In word
and picture, Oregon's progress dur
ing the past year is completely brot
out. The finest feature Of the entire
number is that section devoted to
highways. 1t brings out clearly the
fact that Oregon is taking her place
at the head, in rapidly perfecting a
statewide system of highways. The
number was excellent throughout and
up to the standard set by the Oregon
ian in past years.

The Land OF Pretty Soon

are paved
With the things We meant to achi-
eve;

to have saved
And the pleasures for which We

mise broken,
And many a coveted boon
Are stored away in that land some

There are uncut jewels of possible

Lying about in the dust.
And many a noble and lofty aim
Covered with mold and rust.

Though our purpose is fair, yet We

For this reason the child should have

We are told repeatedly by those

Milk is the ideal food for the child.
1t contains the elements needed to pro-
mote growth with the exception of
iron. This element is given the child
in such vegetables as spinach, beet
green's and carrots.
As the child grows and becomes very
active other foods are added, such as
starchy foods, which supply energy.

give it to him in cream soups, custards
and cocoa. The older members of the

not give children fried foods which are
hard to digest, Fruits and vegetables
are next; thon simple sweets such as
dried fruits or pure candies. Candy
should always be given at the end of
the meal, never before.
Wheat taken from the granary, we'll

Ths man is Charles e. Hughes,
against whose integrity and political

The possibility Of his name looming

A favortte argument against the

This Is contrary to Presidential his
