This Country Will Never
Find Cure For High Prices
By Dr. E. E. PRATT, Government Statistician
HE PRESENT SYSTEM OF SUPPLYING THE COMMUNITY
WITH FOOD IS UNSYSTEMATIC AND LARGELY WASTE
FUL. The fault which I have to find with our present system
of marketing is not due especially to the RAPACITY or DISHON
ESTY of any GROUP OF MEN. ' There is no one group of DIS
TRIBUTERS, even of food products, who are getting ESPECIAL
LY RICH at the expense of the CONSUMER. . The difficulty with
the PRESENT SYSTEM is simply that it is an OBSOLETE, UN
ECONOMICAL and WASTEFUL ARRANGEMENT of FA
CILITIES for marketing food products.
t
THE MIDDLEMAN HIMSELF IS AS MUCH A VICTIM OF THE
SYSTEM AS IS THE CONSUMER. A REMEDY FOR HIGH PRICES
WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE FOUND IN THIS COUNTRY.
K t
For any considerable period of time we may. look forward to a
PERIOD of CONTINUED HIGH PRICES. This fact should
make and is making us more careful about our METHODS of DO
ING BUSINESS and should lead us to ELIMINATE as much
WASTE and INEFFICIENCY in our METHODS OF PRO
DUCTION and MARKETING as is POSSIBLE.

Goldfish eat mosquitoes. Order your

Oats and Beans.
The high price of beef has now be
come the higher price of beef. Ditto
mutton and pork. Ditto nearly every
thing else, at least if it is edible. All
of which occasions low spirits and high
talk. Folks must eat but folks must
now have a bank account If they are
to do any eating commensurate with
their appetites.
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, known
to fame as "Honey Fitz," proposes n
way out It leads through fish, vege
tables and beans chiefly beans. Beans
are nutritive: likewise they are easily
raised. It is proverbial that ground
which will not "raise beans" is good
for nothing else. Besides, beans are
good, brain food observe Boston.
Therefore the Hub's remedy for the
high price of beef: Boycott the beef
trust and eat beans. It Is perfectly
simple and should be satisfying. Beans
forever!
Yet the writer has a memory of one
year at school when he lived on beans
and prunes. We had bean soup, bak
ed beans, boiled beans and beans in
every other form devised by the brain
of man. Since that year we have not
had the heart to look a bean or a
prune in the face.
Oats furnish another escape from
beef. There is no more building food
than oats note the Scotch; note also
man's friend, the horse. He eats
no meat and yet he pulls the loads of
the world or did till the railroad and
the motor truck relieved him. The
horse eats oats and man feels his oats.
The answer is eschew meat and chew
oatmeal.
There is also rice. The wonderful
Jap lives on rice; likewise the patient
Chinaman when he can get it On a
diet of rice the Japs whipped Russia.
Possibly on a similar diet the Yankees
can whip the beef trust At least is
it cot worth trying?

CATTLE MARKET
HAS STRONG TONE
The Portland Union Stock Yards
Company report as follows:
Receipts for the week have been
1584 cattle; 8 calves; 1528 hogs;
1584 cattle; 8 calves; 1528 hogs.
In the face of an increase in re
ceipts, the cattle market ranged
strong &t the former week's prices.
Some claim was made that prices
ruled 10 to 15 per cent higher, but
this this was largely a question of
crudity and there is more safety in
saying that prices held firm with a
more active demand.
The supply of hogs from local ter
ritory showed a slight increase which
was also followed by a 10 per cent
raise in the market.
The sheep market was poorly- sup
ulied. There was an active demand
for at least double the sheep that ar
rived. The market on lambs was
from 15c to25c a hundred higher than
the week previous.

Welcoming American Victors

FRIENDS and admirers of the American victors in the Olympic games
recently had an opportunity of viewing and cheering their heroes as
sembled in procession in thestreets of New Xork. The athletes rode
in automobiles, two and three in a car, and each car bore in large
letters the names of its occupants, so that the crowd might cheer and know
whom it was cheering a piece of thoughtfulness on the part of the manage
ment which was probably not appreciated by thousands of young Americans
who knew the faces of the winners by heart Of course the mayor reviewed
the parade (the illustration shows him shaking hands with James Thorpe, the
Indian who carried off the prize for all round athletic prowess), and tens of
thousands of grownups watched its progress down the city's great show thor
oughfare, but the spectators to whom it meant most were tho schoolboys,
lined up by schools along the curb, who on that occasion saw more of their
Ideals in the Mesh than they ever had seen before or are likely to see again.

Word Fashions.
The history of the word asparagus
shows how. even in the days of diction
aries, word fashions change. In the
eighteenth century, ' even in elegant
usage, the delicacy was regularly called
"sparrow grass." A dictionary of 1791
says that "sparrow grass" is now so
general that "asparagus" has an air of
stiffness and pedantry. "Sperage" had
been the usual English form in the six
teenth century, but in the seventeenth
herbalists brought back the original
Greek and Latin spelling "asparagus."
Pepys varies between "sparrow grass,"
"sparagus" and "sparague." No doubt
the eighteenth century relapse was the
last, and the "a" is back for good now.
