VOLUME 12, N0. 101, COSTS LITTLE TO FEEDU. S. ARMY MEN War Department Figures Show That Each Soldier is Given Thirty Cents Worth of Food Each Day. GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE HAND Banking Resumption Necessary for Foreign Trade—Ordinary Imstru- ments of Credit Worthless. — By Congressman C. H. Tavenner. Washington, August 24.—Who said high cost of living. Prices may be skyrocketing in all parts of the United States, but the War depart- ment does not know about it. The latest annual report of the chief of the quartermaster corps shows that it costs Uncle Sam just a fraction under 30 cents to feed a soldier one day. The principal of the operation en- ables the government to keep the individual cost of food per soldier muech under what it costs the pri- vate citizen to eat, and yet the gov- ernment buys food supplies from the same sources which furnish-to the public at exorbitant prices. The government buys in large quantities at bed rock contract prices. The average soldier is pro- bably fed better than the average working man in this country. Yet it is donme on 30 cents a day. So cheaply can Uncle Sam buy food that he is able to serve an elaborate dinner to the commercial public stopping in the hotels at Panama for 90 cents. If the food trust continues to make the American public pay a war tribute in the cost of food, the government may yet be compelled to turn to its own experiences to; give relief to the people. If the gov- ernment can keep its own soldiers fed for less than thirty ceits a day it ought to be able to do the same thing for all the people. Many of the Enropean nations have already heen compélled by 'war to take the fosd supply in their hands, and #f famine prices are to be reflectéd in America our own government may be compelled to adopt a similar. conrse. Banking Resumption Netessary™ For Foreign Trade. New e commerce need a mérchant marine in order to exist through the /Buro- pean war, but. it needs the re-estab- lishment of the exchange credit sys- tem as well, Without a system of exchange the possession of American merchant vessels will not help the situation very much, for there will be no way of getting the money for foreign shipments of goods except by collecting them at the ship herself when she docks as the huckster col- lects from his wagon. The. present paralysis of the inter- national banking system means that the ordinary instruments of credit are worthless. One merchant on one side of the ocean cannot draw on the other through his bank, and there is no way of realizing on bills of lading. Commerce has reverted to its, primitive condition of collec- tion in cash on delivery, and there; is no likelihood of much trade be- © Jove-Mmrriean wflefi‘um Louis Disbrow, holder of more world’s records than any other drl o8 $1,500 in cash offered by the management for world’s will compete Barney Oldfield, Eddfe Rickenbacher, Bill Knipper and others, —.__.A;.\_ - With an increased prize list, bet- ter attractions and the dates set a week later than usual, so that the producta will be matured, the Bau- | dette Fair of 1914 promises to bel the best yet held. in this district, , | says-the Baudette Region.
