TALK OF STARVA
TION BLAMED
I think that means ought to be
taken to stop speculation in food
stuffs within the limits of the
powers of congress. But it is a
wonder to me today that we do
not have $4 wheat and 40 cent
cotton, and $5 or $6 potatoes and
beef 50 or GO cents a pound.
There never has been in the his
tory of the world an agitation
that parallels the present one.
We are practically told that the
United States is on the verge of
starvation and that the world
without is starving, and then we
are informed that when next
winter comes the wolf of hunger
will be howling at the door of
every human being in the world.
When that information is put
forward men are astonished that
the prices of foodstuffs mount.
If a plan had been conceived to
make them mount, the one
adopted could not have been im
proved upon by the ingenuity
of man or the devil himself.
The thing to teaeh the Ameri
can people now is that America
will not be starved, that she
can't be starved, and the con
sequence will be to lessen the
conditions that confront us and
pester us. Senator Reed of
Missouri.
The Monitor always leads.
Business
Our steady increase in patron
age and our faith in the future of
Independence means much to our
customers, new and old. We are
going to make greater efforts
than ever before to please those
who patronize us and to give
them every discount that the
grocery business will allow.
