NOT PRODUCING ENOUGH FOOD.

It was not more than a few years

ago that Americans boasted with some degree of truth that their coun

try "fed the world." But they can't do it now. The rest of the world Is helping to feed them, though exports

of food products still greatly exceed

imports.

Last February 2.500,000 bushels

of potatoes were Imported from

Europe. During the eight months ending with February the United States imported breadstuffs to the amount of $10.00,000. The value of

the meats, dairy products and food animals Imported during the same period was $9,172,905. The Imports

of fruits amounted to $26,500,000. As compared with the same period ten years before the increase was heavy, in some cases amounting to

more than 100 per cent.

This country ought not to be In

such a position that the importing of

potatoes could be profitable. As to the Imported breadstuffs, dairy products, meats and fruits, a certain

part of them are the luxuries com

monly found in the delicatessen stores, the business of which Is evi

dently thriving. Just to what extent food of the common kinds is Included In the figures given is not plain. But the fact that potatoes are being imported is peculiarly significant. . Is not some light afforded here

upon the problem of the high cost of living? Would not the price of potatoes be lower if enough of them were grown in this country to supply the home market Instead of making recourse to the European supply necessary, with the added burden of paying tariff and freight charges? And granting that the imported foods in which there has been such a heavy increase consist almost entirely of delicacies ,is not support given the assertion that one cause of the high cost of Jiving is "the cost of high living?" The- sure way to ..reduce the cost of common foods is to produce more of them. Those who desire Imported and other 'luxuries should not grumble because they have to pay high prices.

THE UNNOTICED NEWS.

In the past few days three pieces

of news, which in ordinary times would have set many people talking,

have been almost unnoticed says a

contemporary. An attack by Italy

upon the Dardanelles has been ro-

ported, and a second attack is said

to be imminent. Mexico has sent a

rather tart reply to the warning of I thing has to break out somewhere

are in great trepidation lest the ma

chine won't work when it comes to killing sand ileas and mosquitoes.

THE TIMES speaks of President Taft's

speech "warming the cockles of ,your heart." Nothing like a arin rickey.

THE Gary Bolt and Screw company Is

to let Mayor Knotts have the honor of

making the first bolt. Probably this Is

In recognition of his expert knowledge

of bolts. As far back as our political Historian can remember Tom has been

bolter of the first water.

IT'S quiet in Gary, but there are out

breaks in West Hammond and in Mo

rocco. No sooner does poor old earth

think rfhat it is in for a nap than some-

he United States. The banking and

currency committee of the House has asked for, and is likely to get. the broadest kind of power to investigate

the "money trust."

A PENNSYLVANIA court has ruled

out that ancient and honorable institu

tion, the free lunch counter. This is another blow at the low cost of living.

BE LOYAL TO YOUR DISTRICT. The magnificent advertising given

the amazing number of non-residents

who have acquired real estate, and

extremely Interesting.

the Calumet region by the hundreds .of thousands of dollarB. Out&ids capital in many Instances has more faith in Lake, county than have some

BASEBALL ENGLISH. : Talk about the Engineering World being technical see if you can wade

through the English used yesterday to describe a baseball game. Here

It Is: For five innings yesterday Cvlbs ' and Pirates, stabbing and tearing at each other's throats, fought on even terms in their second combat of the season. Then in the sixth ' the black flag crew got under Mordecai Brown's guard and

wounded him so seriously that ho had to withdraw. In that attack the Tirates grabbed three runs, a lead which the best efforts of ths Cubs failed to overcome. Score, 5 to 3. So; bitterly Intent were tti Cubs on avenging the overthrow of their three-fingered star that they rallied twice against Babe Adams so hard that Pirate Chief Clarke kept' a life saver warming up out by the clubhouse all through the closing rounds. Just before the twenty-seventh Cub was slaughtered 'In the ninth Chance's men fought themselves into a. position where a long hit by Archer would have tied the score. Eddie Lennox featured the scrap with a home run Into the second deck of the grand stand in left field in the third inning. It. was fate's decree that Lennox should land that mighty wallop with the bases empty instead of choked. Consequently it served only to tie the count temporarily Instead of to win the game, as would have been the case with greater conges

tion on the sacks. No, this isn t a description of the

activities of a nondescript regiment at Waterloo, it isn't about the sink

ing of the Titanic and the last paragraph isn't about a railway tunnel being choked with sand .

TELLS STORY OF WHIPPING. For the third time within the last six months, Harvey McFarland, of Bloomlngton, told how he had been whitecapped, yesterday afternoon, and in almost the same words that havj already convicted two men of the charge of whipping him. He told how he was whipped and his life threatened unless he deeded a farm back to Tobe Snoddy, one of the men already convlcted. Silas Adams, convicted, and

Newton Adams, now on trial, had hold

or nun aunng ine wnipping, .vciarland said. Miss Martha McFarland told again of the land transaction. Mrs. Mary

Malllcoat testified that the Adams boys

went away on the night of the whitecapping, saying they were going fishing, and were back before breakfast. The trial is progressing rapidly and a verdict is expected by Friday.

"Washington, D. C, April 27. Massachusetts promises to furnish the most Interesting political news of the coming week. Presidential preference primaries will be held there to select all delegates to the coming national political convention. The primaries In the Bay State will offer a test of sentiment different from any that has gone before, inasmuch as they will not be complicated ' with local fights of any kind. They are called for the sole purpose of electing delegates to the national conventions and they will not affect a single State or county office. They will not even be indicative of sentiment affecting the governorship, or national Issues, for that matter, for the State convention is eliminated and the Massachusetts delegates tJ Chicago and Baltimore will not be governed even by a platform. The names of Taft, BooBevelt and LaFollette will appear on the republican ballot In Massachusetts. Both Taft and Roosevelt have visited the State Beveral tlm s during the past two months and it is generally admitted that the race between them will be close, tin the Democratic ballot will appear the names of Clark and Wilson, though it is understood that the Massachusetts delegates at Baltimore will vote for Qoveuior Foss on the first ballot. The primary results will determine who is to b second choice of the Massachusetts Democrats. Both Taft and Roosevelt are- fighting for the New Hampshire delegates, who are to be selected by the Republican State convention which., will meet Tuesday In Concord.
