It is a highly interesting statement which is made by Food Administrator Hoover when he announces that a proper regulation has been establish- ed over warehouses, wholesalers, com- possession of these ships and by pay- ing for them put them into such ser- vice as it desires. Such being the case the Dutch gov- ernment has come to the realization of the advisability of putting these ships into such transportation ser- vice that they will not be subjected 1o the dangers of the war zone. Such is a course that jibes with®the position of President Wilson and it 1s Ikely that an agreement will be reached soon ypon that point. This will mean that the Dutch ships will be available exercise for the voungsters and must have saved hundreds of tons of cab- bages.. The size of the capture males certain that in England alone this pest numbers billions. The way to thing less than strong conwictions and ingrained principle. The spiral involved in a bad finish is too great to be ignored. Failure overcome these pests is to keep ever- lastingly at them. The true and trusting Christlan shoulq be able to nd within himself the well-spring of joy: but it is not to be located when fear and doubt haraeses one. The eves of Fret and Worry will never fing it, for they are color-blind to everything which soothes or comforts. They would not in pluck, and persistence becomes quite tragic, indeed, when it means 2s s0 oftem, that a victory just in sight cannot be reaped.

Mr. Hoover makes no bones of say- ing that many things are too high. He claims that a higher price 1s being secured for beef even though there has been a drop in the wholesale price. The potato crop is 59 per cent. larger than last year and vet the price is soaring daily. This he attributes the fact that the farmers are holding their potatoes for a higher market. Sugar, he says, ought to be sold for eight and a half cents a pound and it is a well known fact that it is no easy task to get more than two or thres pounds at ten cents a pound, and in many instances sugar is not being sold except with other goods. Flour he also says is costing the consumer §1.50 to $2 more than it should, while beans and other necessities are com- manding too high a price. There are few if any consumers but what will admit that the prices are too high, that they are out of all proportion to the crops and that from the daily quotations there doesn’t appear to be any relief in sight. If the regulation has.checked the profits of some of the middlemen and thrown them over to the retailers or others there doesn’t appear to have been much advantage gained from the standpoint of the consumer. Price: certainly ought to drop but whether they do or not will be a matter of much coneern to the householder who will thereby learn whether the food sdministration legislation has been carried only half as far as it should bave been.

Interest is keen just ndw to fnd out whether the extension of the Ger- man war zone was a promise or just a threat. - It should be remembered that it isn't solely the millfonaires to whom Uncle Sam is making his appeals regarding the Liberty loan. By the time that Germany gets ready to return Belglum there will not be much left but the sub soll and human and industrial ‘wreckage. Those who' are seeking the end of the war should realize that the great- est assistance that can be contributed now lies in purchasing Liberty bonds. It is possible that the present ac- tivity of the German fleet in the Bal- tic has been undertaken for the pur- pose of permitting no time for mu- tiny. If Germany can hammer the factions of Russia into a unit it will render a @reat service to that country, even theugh in doing so Russia loses terri- tory. ‘With the treasurer of the state put- ting all his available funds into Lib- erty bonds, there ought to be no ques- tion about the advisability of others @Going the same thing.

To be one in spirit and power with God throush loyalty and truth is to abide with Him and to have Him abide with us.
