Remember that the railroads are uiipl erlth the urgent movement 1 troops ts4 their eupplUe; tht there Is unusual pressure In various parts ef the country Tor food an-4 fuel; thai the railroad have more hnelnesa than they o handle promptly. Tor that reason many trains ir late. TM Tntes has Increased !ta trullltr equ'pment and 1 operating- In evety way with the posloffloe department to expedite delivery. Ern so. delays are Inevitable be. cause of th enormous demand pon the railroad and the withdrawal of rooa from many line ef work.

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE SOON. A county wide meeting of grocers and market iiu-ii !n Hammond yesterday failed by Federal Food Administrator Frank O'Rourko of Hammond, ohaimiau of County Director C. A. WVsthcrc's price-profiteering comminer, brought out some pertinent facts. Representatives of the tradesmen declared that the grocers were told bv State Administrator Barnard that the govern ruent has not attempted to fix any prices, neither has th" state. Thi astonishing; attitude of the state food admin istration is of course an admission that makes -It impossible for the local food administrators to attack an profiteering prices. Director O'Rourke "will seek liajlit from Dr. Barnard on the meaning of his alleged sttment to the Lake county grocers. It was brought out. at the Hammond meeting that the grocers and market men as a whole are making small profit on commodities and that only in isolated cape? has" there hen any profiteering. The trouble with the high prices was declared not to rest wilh the retailer but with the wholesaler. It developed that in the mat'er cf butter, prices had jumped in one week from ."2 to f2 cents a pound and further advance is expected, Grocers showed sale bills for foodstuffs they were buying "--o compared them. Tbat the Elgin board is permitted by the government to fix arbitrary prices for butter is astonishing. It fixes the price and always lias done so and it was predieted that unless, the government steps in butter will soon be $1 a potmd. It is out of the reach of poor people now and before Ions the person who can afford butter on his table will rank with the very rich. In flour it was found that East Chicago' was paying the highest, price for flour. East Chicago people had paid $1.75, 'Whiting $1X5. and Hammond $1.33. Director O'Ronrke believes that the government should stamp prices permitted on wholesaler's commodities and then allow "retailers a fair margin of profit, and IE en should b appointed to fix the percentage of profit. The meeting brought one thing To light and that iv sandwiched in between the wholesaler and the consumer, the retailer occupies anything but a pleasant, position in hese war times. He es between the devil and the le;i blue sea, wanting in the majority of instances to do the r'ght thing. It is a pity that the federal government doos not take instantaneous action in regard to fixing prices for wfnter h? soon to set in and the outtor for the wag smnoi with a family is not at all alluring.

EDSEL. Some of rbe Michigan newspapers are commenting on the incident of the execption of Henry Ford's son. Fscl, from service in the American army, when hundreds thousands of other youths of his age neither esoap flor trv to escape suc-h servico. Th" Houghton Mining Journal had this to say th other day: "On the day that Quentin Roosevelt' was kille.l in an airplane battle the following paragraph appeared in the socieiy paragraph of the Detroit newspapers: 'Mr. and Mrs. Edsel B. Ford entertained at dinner Saturday evening, at the Country club, their guests being Miss Isabelle Dodge. Miss Jose, Phine ralms. Miss Ruth Woodruff, and three French officers.' Somehow or other ir doesn't seem quite right." The Tron Ore, or Ishpeming, jn an editorial fin ' For.'s Come Over the Top," remarked, in commenting on th Country club dinner item: "When it comes to goin; over the top of a roa." bird Kdse is there tight in the high gear, but when his coimtry calls for soldiers h sends his pa around to President Wilson, after the local and district boards have refused to grant him exemption. Warm family, that! And now the old man wants to to congress as I'njted States senator from Michigan." The Cloverland Farmer, of Munising, says: ' Is the deferred classification of Edsel Ford fair to the thousands of other fathers and mothers in Michigan whose sons are at the front or in the training- camps'.' They sought no exemption for iheir sons. If Edsel Ford's services wrr?

realjy essential to his father's business, then Ford acted most selfishly in seeking exemption for his son. and he is not to be compared with the poor laborer who had to part with his son. though his services were tenfold more essential to him than are Edsel's to his father's business." The Marquette Chronicle: "There are few homes fn Michigan which have not petit or will pend before this war is over, boys and men to serve their country to die, if need be. Is Edsel Ford better than these? The sup porters of Henry Ford are keeping the pedal extremity soft when it comes to the matter of Edsel. Perhaps they realize that when the patriotic homes of this sta'o stop to consider, there are going to be mightv few votes cast from those homes for Henry Ford." OF COURSE LAKE COUNTY BUYS. Lake County has the opportunity of paying its complements to the kaiser in the fei uf of myriad Ifi-ineh shells to be delivered by our bo s now serving in France. Due Inch shells ensts I'mle Sam $1,000 when it t ready for our bo s to deliver to the Huns. When we have done our part we will have provided the myriad ltvinch shells for our boys to send on thei.' way rha! they may add speed to the heels of the letrea'inu Heinies. , To think of Liberty bonds as shells gives us an id. -a of what we can do in this war. These Lake County shells can ;ieate a veiitable hell in the ranks of a Han at my. They can carry death and destruction to hns who have been responsible for the devastation of the world. They can destjoy the trenches that are shielding thw iiiui del ers of French and Belgian children, and the ravishers of French Bnd Belgian women. They can destroy the machine pun nests of the Huns from which they are shooting the Lake County Inns. They will, in fact, bringlhe wa rnearer to that victorious end for whic'i w e are all waiting. Surely Lake Counfy will pay for thousands and tnoie I'.l-inch shells by buying it. quota and more of the bonds

A WORD FOR THE TELEPHONE COMPANY. One of the most essential industries in this region that lias suffered severely fiuring this protracted period

of war is f lie Chicago Telephone svsteui. Thousands of

its skilled Workmen were released at the outbreak of ib.e war to form the 1". S. A. signal corps ; then thousands more volunteered or were taken in the draft. To these

musi no auiieo trie large operating torce that lias gone overseas on foreign telephone service as well as an h i preciable number of employes in all departments who have seceded frun the service to perform other work in various war industries at slightly increased pay. if the telephone company could hire the first appli cants to fill constant leakage," and place them either a. the switchboard or in the plant department as the case might be, the problem would be easily solved, but this is both impract icable as well as impossible from the very fact that the industry is a technical one, and requires special training in all departments.

Service, however, all things taken into consideration, is fairly good, notwithstanding these losses, but the question of maintaining good telephone service is a difficult matter under existing conditions. Business men hiiJ others, have become accustomed to the various conservation orders, wheatless, meatless and now gasolineless days, but it is to be earnestl.hoped that the Calumet region is not in be confronted with "telephoneless davs," bur Hie situation is not improbable. The wire system is now under the control of Fncle Sam as a war measure, so that employes in the telephone industry are government servants doing their share towards ihe ultimate goal of victory to which all are assisting. Our government has expressed itself quite clearly that every man and woman should slick to the job he or she may have and do it well, in order to stabilize labor conditions and avoid any disruption or disorganization with public service. Telephone service is a vital necessity for the government as well as th community r.t large. Sufficient and permanent employes and generally skilled help are the "essentials" vital o those wh t are responsible to the government for telephone service In a word, therefore, it behooves all employers of labor to refrain from making fascinating offers to work ers in government wire exchanges in order to tempt them to change their vocations during this temporary labor shortage, without first giving these employes an opportunity to realize -that their duty bids them "do their bif in an industry they have faithfully served for vears, with the full assurance that the government will give them a square deal both as to working conditions ami rates of pay.

Mere and Over There

PASS THE WATER. Somebody in Fort "Wayne was heard to remark a fewdays ago that he didn't believe he would subscribe to the Liberty Loan this time because he didn't like the way the money was being wasted, and the Fort Wayne News pays: "If this man's house were on fire, we suppose w might expect him to order the firemen off the job because he did not like the way they used the water. He would let bis house burn in order to save water. Such an action would be in direct keeping with his determination as to buying Liberty Bonds. Oar national house is on fire"and he wants to let it burn because he doesn't like the fire chief and his lieutenants. Some of the rest of us aren't crazy about them either, but we don't propose to stoa carrying water on that account- Great heavens, no! The house is on fire and wp want to have it put out. Our firemen are not what we would like l,-,it they're all we have, and they're certainly getting enough of the water on the (ire to have a subduing effect and some of th' volunteer firemen are doing magnificently. The thing to do at present is. to fight the firo. and until new firemen can be brought 'to the scene or action, we simply have to keep on passing the pails to those now there. They may not get it all on the-blaze but if we fail to keep theni supplied it's mighty certain they'll get none on. And if none gets on the house burns down and we'll have to sleep in the snowdrifts out on God's commons. TJie thing for us to flo at present is to get the water supply iip to the firemen. We can do our cussing and kicking later on.

Letters are coming to THE TIMES from overseas in the last mail by swarms. Our friends must have patience. We'll get them all in. Just watch. EDITOR. "Ton would he surprised at the regularity with whuh enlisted men write home; the anxious Innuirieo as to home folk nnd friends, his interest in all his old -i ilinn friends, his thoughts of others and hi' good wishes for them. For all th,s on his part. 1 em sorry to say. th .se to whom he writes are not answering Ins letters or appeals for news. These same people, most likely, are busy attending all manner of meetings, knitting socks, etc., end eonvm.ing themselves to their sa'isfaet ion that they ate doing theit lot. . . What the enliste t man wants is news from home. Sooner or later, unless he gets it. U will make very little difference whether it comes or not. Tell all your friends to pass the word along that th men over In the trenches, who are doing the fighting, want news from their homes. Tell your church workers, welfare workers and the like to get on the job and keep their overseas church members, etc.. closely informed of everything that is going on. This is the wac to keep them in the straight anil narrow path."
