It was obliged to reject H the bids because they were ruin- usly low. The highest prices of fered for bacon and other staples was about SO per cent of what the government had paid for them. ' Nearly all of the 8 S bids, received ware submitted by Che paeke'rs them- arras. They completely dominated the bidding fat the number ot offers and In the quantity of goods they themselves had sold the government It is indeed aa illuminating com mentary oa the packing industry, its war profits and, its present. relation ts the cost of iiving when, seeking to buy P those army supplies in order to keep them from being sold In competition with their present output, the best the packers feel able to offer is half as mnch aa they weeired for those same goods a few . W E SHOVLD BR YOUR GROCER months ago. Is thai what the stuff ia really worth? And is the public now pay ing the packers twice aa much as their product is worth? However the packers may explain these bids, the government Is ver- tainly doing right in deciding to sell the food in the open market plenty of cities and public institu tions ae glad to get it at what the government paid for it; they can make big savings at that price. And It such disposal results In lowering prices, as it should, there will he little sympathy lost on the packers. TEE BUILDERS 'A thousand years scarce serve to form a stale. And hour may lay it In the dust And when Shall man Hs shattered glories ren ovate. Summon Its virtues back, and van quish time and fate?" So wrote Byron, ot Rome. It was true enough of the "Eternal City." When wrecked fey the Goths and Vandals the Germans of the dark ages it took another thousand years to rebuild Rome and Hs en virons. . But there is to be no such slow, evolutionary process in the recon struction of the district of Nancy, in the French department of Meurthe-et-Moselle. It Is to be rebuilt by a big (America firm,, on contract The terms of that contract call ifor the expenditure of a sum which is to be not less than $250,000,000, and may rise to 1500.000,000. It Is one of the biggest construction jobs in hu man history. It calls for the replacement of churches, cathedrals, town halls and other public buildings, factories, dwellings, roads and bridges. Where towns and villages have been rased or obliterated they will be restored as they were, or better. This is modern business magic. It ia natural that the old world should come to America to get it done. That particular region was historic long before America was dis covered. It Is but the first ot many ancient abodes ot civiliatlon the Am ericana, whose genius Is essentially constructive, will ibe called on to re build and modernize. WTFE-TRAIXIXG The little war brides In England show no Inclination to settle down to the routine of home-making. To induce them to do so, the ministry of labor proposes to establish schools where these young wives may learn pleasant and practical methods of housekeeping, how to care for their babies, and how to apportion the husband's income so that It may provide for the family and obviate the necessity for the wife's work ing outside of her home. It la estimated that about 400,000 English girls married during the war. Of these by far the greater number were munition workers. They were fed and housed In can teens and hotels provided especially for the purpose and learned nothing of domestic art. They were too busy helping to provide the ammu nition for their husbands In the field. About 300.000 of these wives have no children, and it Is of vital Importance to IBngland that they set f rUR truck-tfre press is III LW M If III age the gears and bearings jlZZZZ Jll ' Jr " - f your trucks. - It"" 1JMJ&&T I Z The fact is j """r ialVn Over half the truck Tonnage - Iff , of America is) carried on -'Z XL reotone Tires TUFFS BROS. t ; - ... ! - ' '" V.

Griffith's second Artcraft production, which will be shown at the Joy tonight for the lst time. She appears aa the only tvhlld of an idle, likeable farmer In the Ohio Valley country, a man who ne glects his little fields but attends most Industriously to his sleep. He wishes his daughter to dress as her mother did. To be confined to rural styles ot a generation past, and at the same time array oneself to at tract the Interest of young John Lo gan Jr. is a supreme task for her girlish Ingenuity. Her trials are not entirely confin ed to fascinating the eyes of John Logan Jr. for her father Is addicted to headaches, and oft-times needs her attention In the night. So she arranges a signal system of quaint and effective simplicity. Miss Glsh makes the character one of delight ful whimsicalities, a unique and fas cinating personality. The comedy Is fuller than any (Mies Glsh has at tempted in the past, and it becomes her with the same artistic charm as the sterner roles.
