CHEAPER BREAD
One of the member of the Oregon
State Defense Council ha requested
the public service commission to regu
late the aize of the loavc of bread
which are offreed to the consumers.
The above suggestion ia a step in
the right direction bat it does not go
far enough. There muat be some lim
itation placed upon the arbitrary pric
es which are being naked for all nec
essaries of life and such regulation
moat be made by the federal govern-
The price given la the local quo

Here is a typical instance of ar
bitrary price which have been boost
ed skyward by the food gamblers.
Bread sells in Detroit, Michigan,
for 13 cent per loaf while a loaf of
the same aize is sold in Windsor for
9 cents.
W indoor is, in fact, a suburb of De
troit. The cost of production is great
er in Detroit than in Windsor, but
Windssr is in the province of Ontario,
Canada and the pricea naked in that
place for the necessaries of life are
under the Food Control Law which
is in operation in every section of the
Dominion of Canada. In Detroit and
in every other American city no re
strictions have been made to prevent
speculation in food product and the
cost of living is steadily climbing to
ward the star.
What is Congress going to do about
it? President Wilson ha urged im
mediate action Director Hoover ha
plead with the members of the United
State Senate and House of Repre
sentatives for a speedy passage of
the bill now pending and the inde
pendent press of the country is clam
oring for legislation.
Senators Gore and Joe Cannon have
made common cause and appear as
the champion of free and unlimited
speculation in food. They are the
self appointed attorney of greed and
arc demanding license when the na
tion is demanding regulation.
Senator and Representatives who
expect to go back can no longer af
ford to mark time. The Nation de
mand constructive statesmanship and
will measure the work of it repre
sentative in Washington by the cold
blooded yardstick of result.

TRENCH TALES
A lightly wounded South
African gave an account of do
ings with German snipers con
cealed in a wood. "We went
tip a a fatigue party to do a
bit of cleaning op and re-dig
some of the old dug-outs in
a bit-of wood," he said, "Our
front firing line position was
only about 300 yards further
on, and beyond a bit of odd
artillery work and some mus
ketray there wasn't much do
ing. We had been warned to
look out for German snipers
behind the line, and sure
enough there were half a dozen
in the wood we went to.
They had lain low when the
place was first searched or else
had crept in during the night.
I came around a hit of mound
right on to one just as he fired
at one of our fellows, and we
had him over before he could
work off another round on ns.
Then we started a little battle
all our own, and for half an
hour we were shooting all over
the place in the woods. Two
of them surrendered, and we
found one wounded and pretty
near dead, the other four were
killed off. Tt was qnite a good
hit of fun murh tietter than
the digging failure which was
what we we went tin tlierc for."

Responsibility rests on the shoulders
of every nun on bnr.nl. and vital re

That Is why iractl.-al, not theoretl

With such n complexity of duties la

ily understand why tho government

among the young men of the country
In Its navy.
At the top, with full command and

To him are delegated the care and or
der of the vessel. In abort, be la "the
housekeeper."
Then, day aud night, some officer
must be In temporary and full charge
of tbe deck. His headquarters are on
the bridge. He is known as tbe officer
of the Heck. On theaa officers rests the
main executive control.
At the beads of tbe vsrloos depart
ments are the medical and pay officers,
the officer In command of tbe marines,
or "sea soldiers:" the chief engineer,
who baa charge of tbe motive ma
chinery and lighting and beating
plants; the navigator, tbe gunuery or
ordnance officer, who Is responsible for
tbe real work for wblcb tbe ship I

ensigns, form what is called the ward
room mess.
