U. S. Plan for Cutting H. C. L. Unele Sam's new plan for reducing the high cost of living look like a good thing. That is, a good thing for the producers and consumers of farm food produc It also looks like a bad thing for the profiteer and the dealer in these articles. Let's take another look. This is the plan: Organize farmers to bring food Products to rural school houses. Parcel post motor trucks take these articles to city school houses, where organized consumers buy and lug them away in baskets, wheel- barrows or autos. The farmer gets better prices. The consumer gets The parcel post gets more business. Former The profiteer lower prices. auto trucks by the thousands are kept busy. is left stranded. ets : The plan is to be applied in local uni United States. There! What's the matter with that for a swat at the high cost o’ living? The plan does not go far enough—not yet anyway. Because it does not provide for the equitable distribution of food products the country over. If there is a potato shortage in Michigan and a huge over-crop of potatoes in Aroostook, Me., what is the answer? The answer is that] the government, or some agency, should ship potatoes from Maine to Michigan. ‘ This equalizing of distribution is of the very highest importance. It is absolutely necessary to the real success of any “farm to table” plan—absolutely necessary in lower- ing the high cost of living. All the co-operative plans that have failed have fallen down because they were inadequate somewhere along the line from the farmer to the city consumer. The distribution problem can't be solved ¢ ye going basis, either. It must be done scientifically if it is to be done rightly. } Statistics of production, of consumption, of needs, must, be compiled each season, and supplies automatically dis- tributed. Joseph did it in Egypt 4000 years ago. Are we any less intelligent now? Uncle Sam's plan needs broadening. s all over the It’s really humorous to think that a handful of Poles, 30,000 in number, actually threatened Berlin. Oh, shades of Ludendorff, Wilhelm, et al. Attack on Mother’s Pie An attack is being made on mother’s pie! There have been other attacks. Lots of them. By boys, hungry little scamps! By men home for a holiday visit to mother. And by the food-savers. But this is another kind of an attack. Dr. C. W. Saleeby of Lon- don, England, is backing a scheme which would make it next to impossible for us to get any more of mother’s pie! Saleeby hails the “na- tional kitchen” which was a great success in England dur- | ing the war. | You know about them. They were cooking places run by the government. Saleeby says they saved labor, and coal, and food and money for everybody and made housework easier for the women who got from them ready-cooked meals for their families. And they put the cook problem on the skids, too. One cook for a whole neighborhood or village, you know. The rest of the cooks could get angry and quit cooking and “go to war for all the housewives cared. Maybe Saleeby is right. Maybe we ought to have public} kitchens everywhere. And maybe we will have ‘em, just as we have these grab-eats-for-yourself counters in cities now. But there won't be any more mother’s pie when that day comes. No, sir! Nobody can make that kind of pie but mother! Secretary Daniels predicts capital ships will all be | driven by electricity soon. Let’s hurry the Skagit | project and sell him some juice. Why Not Keep Chemists? “The chemical laboratory of the bureau of internal revenue discovered and developed during the year a process of producing | abe synthetically by fermentation of Sugar,” says 4 paragraph in the annual report of the secretary of the treasury. There was, at the formal entry of the United States into the world war, an insufficient visible supply of glycerin for making explosives. The price went up as the supply went down. There was a scurrying for fats from which to extract glycerin. Even the garbage pails were searched. , The condition in the United States was the condition| in all the countries directly or indirectly involved in the war. So great was the shortage in Germany that it was said the methods of the ghoul were resorted to in the frantic effort to get glycerin supplies. Glycerin is used in making soaps. The price of soap went up, too. In some countries soap became a rarity. The circumstances acted as a spur to the chemists— and synthetic glycerine is the consequence, Sugar is thus to become in a sense a weapon of war. And in future soaps may be made with sugar-derived glycerin. In all the years of peace glycerin was not derived from sugar.
