NOVEMBER 27, 1916. THE FOOD SITUATION. Since the outbreak of the war ex ports of meats to Europe have in creased by 150 per cent Exportation of the six major grains wheat, bar ley, corn, rye, oats, and buckwheat o far this year has practically doubled since 1914. The increase in shipment of . vegetables is more than 80 per cent over last year, and 100 per cent since 1914. Egg shipments are 40 per cent " more. , This is one reason why foodstuffs are high. It is not, however, the rea . son why foodstuffs are as high as they are. It merely serves as an excuse for the speculator. The consumer is not the only one who is suffering from this highway robbery. The small retailer is having an extremely serious time getting along. The average neighborhood grocer is trying to keep a brave front over a situation which grows increas ingly grave. He cannot afford to stock up as usual for his winter's trade. Potatoes, for example, are so high "that he simply cannot put in his customary hundred barrels because he cannot tie up so much of his capital in them. He is buying in small quan tities, hoping against hope for a break in the market. Scarcely ever does he get his full order from the wholesaler, even at that Only half of his sugar will be delivered a fraction of his flour. The housewife blames him and the wholesaler won't serve him and the prices are breaking him. What can he do? J. M. Bell, general secretary of the National Association of Master Bak ers of America, says that 20 per cent of the bakeries of this country have gone out of business since the war be gan. The bakers, he says, would eag erly welcome an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission, the De partment of. Agriculture, - the U. S. Chamber of Commerce or a special committee of Congress. . They want to know why they can't get flourt rates which show some sort of sane agreement with the wheat crop situa tion. They aren't any more anxious to be put out. -of business than the bread buyers are to pay abnormal prices for their bread. The Federal Trade Commission is to consider within the next few days the matter of making an investigation into the cost of all the necessaries of life. It is to be hoped that the in vestigation wilt proceed rapidly and effectively.. If it does rot measures much more drastic will soon be re quired. Times of public stress in the past have always served as a means of making ill gotten fortunes by the greedy and unscrupulous. ' Public opinion ought to have advanced to the point where this is no longer per mitted. The food situation is the most vital and pressing problem in the land today. BRAVE BIRDS. Dr. Arthur A. Aleln, head of the ornithological department of Cornell University, announces a new theory of courage. Commenting on the appar ent indifference of birds to shell fire on the European battlegrounds, he at tributes it to innate courage, and then proceeds to explain why the birds are brave. "Courage," he says, "is simply a matter of temperature." He atributes the superior fearlessness of the birds to the fact that they have a more rap. id pulse and a higher temperature than human beings. It's an interesting theory, but not wholly convincing. Do those birds build nests in the shattered woods and banging trenches because they're brave, or because they don'.t know any better? It doesn't look like a logical test of courage. When it comes to the usual tests, certainly Prof. Allen's theory falls down. Isn't a wren as warm as an English sparrow,- or a buzzard as warm as an eagle? Then why isn't it as brave? Likewise with animals. The rabbit has a quicker pulse and at least as high a temperature as the dog that chases him. Yet a rabbit is often so paralyzed with wiih fear at the sight of danger that he can't even use the legs that the Lord gave him. A lion isn't any warmer than a cow. And when it comes to man, what has blood heat to do with courage? A high temperature may make a man excitable, but not necessarily brave. We speak of the "cold feet" of fear, but we speak still more of "cool cour age." And that's the sort of courage most admired. It's the calm eye and steady hand, with the deliberate pur pose back of them, that are most frar. ed in game and combat. And most of the world's great fighters- have been known as "cold blooded" men Caesar was a mighty chilly proposi tion, and Napoleon is said to have had a pulse-beat of about 40 a minute. When a football team gets beater, the other team is always composed of giants. Does us good to see Carranza lick Villa. Albany high is plunging its way to a glorious football championship. What counts with a football team is having it strong at every point. That's Albany, not a weak place in the chain of players. . ... One jelly fish in the line and' the other team has a walk-away. In anv ffame of life the ercat thine is to find the enemy's weakness and batter continually at that point. . Some one wants an embargo so that it will cut he price of wheat down. which will cut the price of bread and make living cheaper. On the other hand this would cut the income of the farmer, who is '.he sinew and back bone of commerce according to all the political and economic writers, and there you are. Some people always look at a tiling with a view of finding something about it to criticise, which . is easy. Others hunt for the good in it. . The old story of Jack Spratt and his wife comes up continually fn bus iness and socially.. The man who gets elected to the legislature at least gets his picture in the paper. Some of them never get MISFITS RALSTON ELECTRIC SUPPLY CO. 310 West Second St. Albany, Ore. 6 FARM LOANS We Have One Million Dollar to loan on improved farms in the Willamette Valley, VERMONT LOAN & TRUST COMPANY J.
