Ho has fixed the wheat price, li censed the miller and is regulating Hie baker to reduce bread 20 to 25 percent. lie has taken over the buying of all sugar for ourselves and allies, establishing a price and limiting prof Its. He has fixed the mine prices of coal and intends with strict super vision to reduce the cost of fuel. .No Miwt Price Fixing. Is ho going to follow the same course' with meats, at unprecedented and prohibitive prices? If not, why not? The' answer to the first question is short. He Is not. There will be no arbitrary price limit to the American farmer of stock raises for his hogs, steers or sheep. There will be no licensing of pack ers, and supervision of middlemen's profits, but the price of livestock is to be left absolutely to supply and dtnand. Which means. In the opinion of government experts, that 20-rcent ham luid 2 5-cent porterhouse steaks have gone, probably never to return. For the world's big ment problem today is not the price, but produc tion. For the remainder of the war, and probably for years thereafter, the big fight will be the production of sufficient meat at any price. Figures gathered here show that the world's supply of meat-producing livestock has decreased 115,005,000 from pre-war numbers. ": v' Fewer Livestock. There are 2S.0S0.000 fewer cattle, 22,425,000 fewer hogs, and 54.400, 000 fewer sheep. Hogs and cattle liavo increased slightly In the United States, but the unprecedented exports lias more than offset this. Our average meat shipments for three years preceding the war totalled 4'J3.4S.000 pounds annually. In the year ending June 30, 1916, our meal exports reached 1,512,375,000 pounds more than treble our normal ex portsand the year ending June 30, JS7. for exceeded this, exports of pork alone totalling 1,441,105,000 pounds. The two things that can relieve the meat situation are: I'so Fish ami Fowl. The reduction of domestic con sumption, by substitution of fish and poultry and vegetable dishes. Increased production of livestock for meat purposes. The former has been undertaken liy the food administration; the latter Is being urged by It and the depart ment of agrlculturo. Tho official opolnlon here, how ever, Is that any attempt to fix live stock prices at the farm would kill nil chances of Increased herds. The farmer and stockman must feel that lj has a free market. So far as possible, the consumer will be protected by the elimination of speculative profits, of excessive middlemen's charges, and by better distribution. Uut that's all. Vi'lillo urging Increasing our meat pupply, the government at the same time must check the sale of mature animals fit for breeding. Because of high prices many farms have been stripped of breeding hogs and cattle. Mont to lU'innln Nigh. As' a result our volume of dairy produce has fallen off sharply while nt tho same tlmo we must ship In creasing nnmunts of buttorfat, cheese mid condensed milk to our allies, forced to sncrlflce their dairy herds. As a feood dairy cow Is more valuable In producing milk and butter, and increasing dairy herds, than as beef, the prices of milk and butter must bo maintained high enough to Induce the farmer to keep her, rother than realize a large price for her as beef. As an Indication of the hog prob lem, a government census on SOOO Kentucky farms shows only about 1 1,000 brood sows, obviously far too low a ratio. Even In the hog-ralslng sections nf the middle west It has been found impossible to get sufficient hogs to consume the garbage of the various nrmy;rantonments. The ruble's hope, then, of any ap preciable or early reduction In the prices of meats. Is vain. Meats are lows: Ladles Manufacture Department. Fancy Apron, Mrs. W. V. Hold rldge, first; Mrs. R. W.

The premier, Dr. Von Zdyler, Introducing the new mem bers of the cabinet, expounded the government program, which he said would deal In tho first place with social and economic matters, the most urgent of which was food. After promising to submit to tho constitutional committee government proposals for the reform of the con stitution, aiming at equality of all nationalities on a basis of national autonomy, while preserving the unity of tho state, the premier turned to tho foreign policy, declaring that "the basis of this, as heretofore, is loyalty toward our allies,' and warned those who thought they could serve peace by carping criticism of the al liance between the central powers, that they merely encouraged the ene my and thereby prolonged the war.
