For the Good of
 the Community

 ON February 1 there were 2O95, 100 barrels " and 7,277,099 boxes of apples in cold stor- age warehouses in the United States. A year ago, on February 1, there were 1, 672 barrels and 4,204,626 boxes of apples in storage. That represents a gain of 23 per cent in barrels and 731 in boxes of apples.
 Apples are selling at higher prices now than they were year ago. The law ot supply ana de- mand is supposed to regulate the price of all commodities. It does not seem to work in the case of apples. The figures quoted above are taken from the report of the United States Department of Az rculture, bureau of markets, dated February IT, and may be assumed to be accurate: In the same period the holdings of poultry have increased, in some instances almost as much as 50 per cent yet the current prices Of these are no higher than year ago:
 BrOilers, for instance, have decreased from 15022, ,972 to 8430 855, with total decrease in all kinds of poultry from 119,675, ,195 on February 1; 1919, to 92,239, ,157 on February 1, 1920.
 Creamery butter increased 4.5per cent, Amer ican cheese 1867 per cent, Swiss cheese de creased 15.2 per cent, case eggs increased l6O per cent, and frozen eggs ll33 per cent:
 Butter and eggs are somewhat cheaper than dy0dT uOC very IIluCIl, Uut uC- spite the larger quantities in storage, are from 25 to 50per cent higher than year ago. ' The commonest kind of apples sell for nickel apiece, while the choice kind cannot be bought at the stands for less than three for quarter, and some of them are 10 cents straight.
 Retail merchants claim that they have to pay much higher prices for every thing they carry in stock than year or two ago, and in interviews carried in The Age-Herald two or three days last week, they gave figures to bear out their claims
 Yet there seems to be more plentiful supply of at least some of the necessities of life than twelve months ago.
 The government some time ago, in regulating the cold storage systems of the country, re- quired that articles put in storage must be taken out within certain periods. 1t would appear from the statement made by the bureau of mar kets on February F that storage of commodities has been increasing rather than decreasing.
 The good old days of 10 cents for small meas ure of apples, or of choice eating apples at two for nickel or 20 cents to 9 cents a dozen, ap- pear like dream in these days, and yet there can hardly be scarcity of this delicious fruit if the figures of the bureau of markets can be de- pended upon.
 Cold storage warehouses are necessary insti- tutlons n these times when large urban popula- tions must be fed twelve months in the year, with only five or six months in which to grow and gather the crops, but when large surpluses are held in storage with prices at highest prices ever known it would seem the reasonable and right thing to do,woud be to force at least part of%n %nOoo L
