Remember that the railroads are engaged 'with the urgent movement of trocps and their supplies; that there is unusual pressure in various parts of the country for food and fuel; that the railroads have more business than they can handle promptly. For that reason r-.iany trains are late. Tub Times has Increased its Mailing- equipment and Is cocperatir.g In every way with the postoffice department to expedite delivery. Ever. so. delays are Inevitable bocause of the enormous demands upon the railroads anil the withdrawal cf mea from many lines of work-

put up in every home this summer, and six quarts of fruit and a dozen or fifteen small glasses of fruit "spreads" on the side, the great American family would be in no danger of famine next winter. A3 there are many families which, obviously, cannot do this, the families which can put up more should spare no effort to put up all they can. Forty quarts of vegetables per peson would make the ordinary family independent of the commercial canners, leaving their product for others who cannot store food. The cheerful news is given out that the quality of rubber rings has been improved this year, and there will be plenty of them. Manufacturers of containers are also

improving their products and increasing the supply, by j request of the Department of Agriculture. This applies j to glass jars, stone crockery ware, tin cans and fibre t

boxes. Sufficient sug r will also be available. The fruit crops in some parts of the country are very short, owing to the severity of the winter. Hut

the war gardens are nourishing from Maine to Wash- t

ington snd from Florida to California. It

predict that the bean "put-up" this year will exceed all records.

THE ACCOUNTING.

13- fci ?

CRITICISM OF WILSON. On the whole we believe President Wilson has fared better at the hands of poli'ical opponents than any man who ever occupied the White House. Congress his been with him in alirost everything. He only had to ask for what he wanted and it has been granted. The country has responded to every c.i"! and the people have opened their purses with a generosity never before known. No complaint has been made of the unpreeedenred expenditure of money and there will be none if it is wisely and honestly handled. The people are hark of the president (all who are not ahead of him) and are ready to stay by him to the end. Yet they reserve the right to express disapproval and offer suggestions, and it is unfair to charge improper motives and to say that they art trying to annoy and hector the administration. .

"When the boys come back," said Mr. Samuel Gompers some time ago, "labor will have to defend its acts." And that is perfectly true. If there is loyalty oa the part of the raen who serve the odors, they will naturally expect loyalty on the part of those, their fellow workmen of the other days, who have renmined at home. War is no longer a thing apart from the mass of people, a thing carried on solely by aimed men. It is an affair which touches industry in all its branches and which calls vast numbers of men and women to special labor in the factories. The men at the front have no chance whatever of success unless the work in these factories at home is done faithfully and continuously. Naturally, men who think of the money they are to get as the first consideration and the service of the country as a secondary matter will have to answer for themselves in the days to come. Men who think a strike as legitimate now as in tines of peace will have pome awkward questions put to them. Men who are not doing their best to turn out the best possible product in largest possible quantities will not be comfortable when they face the men who have suffered because of their slackness. There will certainly be an accounting when the boys come home, n-td eery intelligent workman knows it well. ,

PASSING ON PRICE BOOSTS.

A new principle in priee-fixins has been introduced by the fuel administration. In consenting to a rise of

le pi'ice ot gasoline

half a cnt a gallon in the who

and kerosene, to meet increased freight rates, it was specified that the advance in the retail price nrtst he no greater than that. The general practice, as the public knows only too well. Is to increase a price raise a every step as it is passed alon-:. Generally a wholesale jump is doubled in the retail trade. A cent added by the manufacturer may become three or four cents by the time it. reaches the consumer. It is too much to hope that this practice, so largely unw-arranf ed, will be abolished all at once, but the present ruling sets a precedent. A slight boort beyond the increase paid by a dealer himself may he jus'ified in many cases, because of the increased investment rr.ade necessary: but everybody knows that the boost & nerally made for this purpose is out of all proportion, and an unwarranted imposition on the man who pays the bill.

A leading German newspaper, published in Germany, is abroad with the ghastly suggestion to Teutons that God will give them whatsoever they ask in the name of his Son. The author of the suggestion makes clear that he means Alsace, Lorraine and other lands and valuable belongings to other nations. Sjuch blasphemous perversion of a holy and comforting promise comes fiittingly from lips that are guilty wkh lust and a heart that is foul with greed. Nothing could be more illuminatinply illustrative of Prussian

propaganda. Bloody hands and a sanctimonious brow! 11

Me und Gott. The wonder is the writer did not propose 'hat the Germans go and get the earth and give it to the Almighty, instead of guaranteeing them God as a conspirator before the act. One might feel some shiverish admiration for the sangiroid of a break-and-loot villain who would prayaloud, "Lord, give into my hand by neighbors house, and his wife, and his man servant, and his maid servant, and his ox, and let me depart in peace, for I covet them." But what shall one feel toward a rascal wno piously iatones: "Lord, lead Thou my armies to the coal fields and the iron mines of Lorraine, that 1 may be assured of enough guns to blow my neighbors, France, to HelK" God has put up with a great deal from the kaiser. He did with Satan, before the fall, comments the Indianapolis Times.

POPULARIZING PORK.

ONE of the American boys in Fershing's army writes home that he has survived six gas attacks. His marvelous endurance may be accounted for by the fact that he hails from Homewood in Hammond, which regularly gets deluged with the aroma from the Globe Station stink factory.

IN our saner moments we notice as we grow older, a

distressing inclination to indolence and we are now en

gaged in a desperate struggle against forming the habit, on arising of raising our legs to the ceiling only six times when we ought to raise them at least twelve.

Herbert C. Hoover has gone to Europe, as he told a friend before he sailed, "to be the greaist pork salesman In the history of tbe world."' He explained that he was undertaking to ' convert England, France and Italy to an appetite for pork." Last year he called on the farmers of America to raise hogs. They responded so patriotically that the porcine population suffices f"v our need? and provides a. big surplus for export. Fork is now more ple-nMfu! than beef. It happens that our European friends have mostly a beef appetite. When they don't wan beef they want lamb or nu"on. Pork fills a minor role in their dietary. Mr. Hoover mean- to chnn-'e Th.it. There are good r'-a.-ons for i" besides this temporary plethora. Pork i- more quickly and easily produced than beef, and more '.-onvenient to n .'in -port. I "keeps" bet

ter. It is more nourishing, pound for pound. Mr. Hoover 1 will do the Europeans a favor by persuading them to eat j WASHINGTON dispatch reports that a higher tax

more of it. Incident'illy, he will be providing a better j is likely on normal income. Go to if.

THE Austrian prime riinister's suggestion that, there is no reason why "one-half of the population should die to make the other half happy" is respectfully recommended to Austria's great and good ally.

HOW would it be to stick some of these pestiferous

book agents in the ranks of the work or fight

FIFTEEN CANS PER PERSON.

The United S'a'es Department of Agriculture wants to see l.SOO't.'i.fii't quarts of food put up in cans in homes this summer. The commercial canners are expected to Co at least their usual amount, but their ou'put is exclusive of this Counting lOO'to,, 00 people to eat the put-up food, it1 means that .'.;-: t lo quarts per per.- ..n is the just share to be canned. A family of five, therefore, would need to put up 73 quarts of food. The bulletin does not say whether thi.- includes jams, jellies and other "spreads," but presumably it does not.
