MARCH 24 CHEAPER MEAT In almost every city there are meat shops so "high class" that thev do not keen the "cheaper cuts"." The custo mer asks in vain for a niece of beef from, the fore-quarter, If she protests, she is told that the shop does not buy the fore-auarter because there is not enough demand for it. this fact has discouraged many a consumer seeking to prac tise the thrift so widely recommended. In most cases, however, it is the consumer's fault. Most meat shops do keep the cheaper cuts, and sell them very cheerfullv. at reasonable prices. It is exoected that all shops will keep them for one week at least the "cheaper meat week" initiated, rather appro oriatelv. bv the federal department of justice. The week varis for different states, the week of March 29 is assign ed to Oreeon and Wisconsin. Dates for other states will come later. , During this week there will be an especially large sup ply of the cheaper meats on hand, and a special enort win De made to sell them. The federal authorities will see that there is no over-charging. Every family is urged to substi tute these less expensive kinds of meat for the high up and far back portions that are ordinarily so mucn in demand and therefore so expensive. Manv a family will be surprised to find how good a chuck roast or a piece of boiling beef or a soup bone can be made, bv proper cooking. As for nourishment, of course there is iust as much of it in a pound of cheap meat as in a pound of expensive meat, if the bone is left out of considera tion. And it snouia oe rememoerea mar Dy Duying me cheaper cuts more frequently, the consumer helps to make the expensive cuts cheaper, too, and so can better afford occasional indulgence in them. o A CHANCE TO CATCH UP Many Americans are seriously concerned at the fact that immigration, which has been at low eDD tor severa: vears. is now actually less than emigration. Since the armis tice was signed, up to the end of March, it is estimated that 325,000 immigrants will have come into this country Dy way of Ellis Island, and 360,000 will have lett it. It is a change, indeed, from the days of vast influx pre cedine the war. Its disadvantages, too, are apparent every where. There is a lamentable scarcity of labor, especially unskilled labor. This condition seriously retards the reviva and progress of American industry and is one of the chie causes of hieh prices and difficult living. There is also something to set down on the other side of the ledger. When it is remembered how, in the early days of the war, the air was filled with laments over cur undigested horde of foreigners, it is easier to bear these pres ent ills with patience. We used to long for a subsidence of the Immigrant wave in order to let us catch up and assimilate the aliens already here. Lately we have been given an unprecedented oppor tunity to do this very thing. We have a providential chance to Americanize the aliens, and establish something like real national unity in the United Mates. 1 his possibility, rightly considered, Is worth more than all that might be Rained by the economic exploitation of a horde ot raw foreign labor, after the old fashion. And if we are wise, we will make a thorough Job of it .before the next European Invasion Is upon us as It will be before many years. law - defended the republic ag-ilnat the stt.uk of millionaire by corrupt use of money, in Oregon h defended the republic airalitst stt.uk of three mn who style themselves proletarian and who propone vio lence Oregoulan.
