Government Has Bargain
Day Tor Purchasers.-
The Kovornmont's offer to sell tho
surplus army food stock to tho public
by parcel post is probably as Rood o
solution of two pressing problems as
rould be found. It ount to result in
disposing of that troublesome surplus
with little more delay, nnd it oii(;ht
la hnvo nn Immediate effect in reliev
ing the food situation nnd lowering
retail prices of tho commonest com
modilies.
Atlempts mnde to dispose of the nc
cumulated stocks by carload snles to
municipalities nnd big dealers do not
nocm to hnvo succeeded. Private con
cerns, for some renson or other, hnvo
seemed wnry of such Roods, nnd the
cities nnd towns hnv lacked proper
facilities for handling them. It y sell
Inp; direct to consumers, the market Is
vastly brondened.
Tho list of goods for snle, which
shows considerable vnrlcty nnd covont
some .tni),OIIO,OI)0 pounds of fond, is to
be distributed by fit, (HOT postoffices.
Tho orders nro to bo (riven nnd the,
money pnid through postmasters and
carriers, thus insuring tho widest ex
tension of the opportunity. There will
be no profit except that which falls
to the purrhnsor.
Not the least excellent phase of the
plan Is tho liberal uso it will make of
tho parcel post. This branch of the
posUil service has not been accom
plishing anywhere near what used to
be expected of it. The distribution of
so grcnt a qunntity of foodstufff
through this medium should serve to
nrouso tho general public to the op
portunities It has been Ignoring. If
city folk enn obtain food from the gov
ernment by parcel post, they can ob
tain it from the farms by the same
process. Let them offer tho market,
nnd tho producers will supply it.

ft is possible fyr a man who h'mseK

J the better class of itid.viduals of all
rates to hold in check their own nntip
nthies, to inspire by precept ami ex
ample those less apt to exercise self
control. ' 4
A light bree.e will Tan n small blaze

or reckless act may precipitate a bat
