Feeding the World Calls
For Quantity.
"Feeding the world" in usually
apoken of as If it wore a tremendous
philanthropy in which the nation tins
engaged ns an unpleasant hut neces
miry part of it is war burden. Many
people really seem to imagine that
tens of thousands of tons of food sent
to hungry Europeans nrc being given
nwny.
Many others, who know thnt every
pound of It Is being pnid for nt full
value, nevertheless resent it l.ccnuso of
the indirect effect on their own pocket
books. They point out that it is these
enormous shipments of food to Europe,
thnt Tiinko the cost of living so high
here at home.
As a mailer of fact, Ihore is noth
ing really nrtifielnl or abnormal about
this movement of fooil to Kurnpo cx
copt the unusual quantity of It.. Food
stuffs, like oilier commodities, iiiitui
nlly ninvo toward the place where
there "is n demand for them. The
stronger the demand, the grcnt?!' tho
volume. TWh is nlwnys true in 1 fees,
open market. And as long as An.ic.ncn
has more food thun Europe, and Kur
opo Is willing to pay whatever Is nec
essary to get it, there could he no way
of preventing that food from going
nhrond except nn. arbitrary Interfer
ence with the supply-nnd-dcmmul Inw,
that it, a national embargo or. the ex
portation of food. And such on em
bargo now would be foolish ns w.ll us
cruel, because we have fur moro than
we could possibly eat ourselves.
It is true that tha UnltoJ StulCB
(government made special arrange
ments for distributing the exported
foodstuffs. Mut that does not man
that the government is deliberate), in
behalf of the nation, taking and ilU
tiibuling food .that would otherwise
be left here at home to flood the Amer
ican market ami lower prfcea. ll
means merely iluit the government is
putting n littlo extra order and sys
tem into n business that would In all
probability, go on in just as great a
Volume if left; in private hnnd anil
regulated solely by Die economic- lows.
Indeed, it is quite possible that if the
demand were allowed full sway with,
out government control, it would ninr.c,
prices sti'l 'higher, the world over.
Not only is there no real philan
thropy in this export trade, but there
Is more actual bcncril.in It than most
people renlir.e. Those high prices paid
abroad mean prosperity for America!)!

cl.ns in this country, and nisi pros-'

and a half in diameter.
This toft, however, Is not peifcc'o
since it concerns form rather than J
substai:ro-a long egg may pa:;.';
through the ring wle. a short eg;
that s really of tlucsame volume will
not. The only dependable standard,
according to experts is weight; an. I
there is a growing demand that eggs
shall be sold by weight as mo:st other
kuids.of fond are, instead of by th
dozen. This was the practice in tho
early ininingdays in California. .
Tho ulmurdity of the presi-nt system
is obvious. There is an informal sort of
agreement that an egg ought to weigh
two ounces, thus running a pound and i
a half to the dozen; but this rule hn.i i
no binding force, and is seldom olc
served in practice. One egg may
weigh un ounce and a half and an
other two ounces and a half, nod yet
both are sold at so much a tlozcn, aa
if the number were the main thing.
As a writer suggests In n current
magazine, n butcher might as well sell
hops at so much apiece regardless of 1
size.
The size of on egg varies, according
to the breed of the hen, according tn
the individual hen's age, according to
the feeding, the time of year and the
freshness or staleness of the egg. In
selected eggs" there may be a rough
attempt at giving definite value for a
flefinito price, but it does look ns if
tho only really fair method is to sell
them by the pound.

The practice of throwing tin enns
nnd other refuse in the streets and
alleys in some parts of the city has
become so common and ailuvved to
continue sc long that citize.13 :n t!ioe
sections sorm to think the publi;
ways are intended solely for tuvh pur
pose, particularly the alleys, Thi
practice has become so common thnt I
am obliged to remind citizens there is
ir ordinance forbidding it ar.u a heavy
penalty for violations. The orJinnnce
reads in part as follows: "The placing
of goods, wares and merchandise,
chattels, rubbish, wood, lumber, or any ,
other like or similar article composed
of iron or wood in any of the streets
I or alleys, or suffering the same- to be
placed or remain there is her.iy do-:
clared to be a nuisance. Any person j
vho shall commit a nuisance as de-1
fined in this ordinance, upon convic-1
tion before the Recorder of !':e city, j
shall be punished by n fine and in de- j
fault of the payment thereof shall
be confined in the city jail for the
period of one day for every two dol
lnrs of said fine." The streets and al
leys of the city are intended for traf
fic purposes and to facilitate access to
property and not for dump and storage
grounds. Therefore, to abate this
nuisance, prevent unsanitary condi
tions nnd improve the appearance of
our city, the Street Superintendent
and the Chief of Police have been in
structed to see thnt this ordinanto is:
observed nnd to report all viola ions i
