ALBANY, OREGON, WEDNESDAY. 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.

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.
