Germany. Wheat i higher in American than in England or France, and potatoes art higher in New York than in Urioo: or everi in Ikrlin. For example, ir May, twenty-four cents would buy fivt pound of bread in Berlin, Hlightlj mors than fuur pounds in I.iM rnw and only about three iiountls in Ni York. Vet, thU country is the great wheat producing nation of the world And, ten dollars would buy ten bush ela of potatoes in Berlin, six and onehalf in Liverpool and oily three, bushels in New York. Now, the people of this country an not foing to stand any such bu.-micss Thia country product- the food pro ducts, but the trouble i that tho ,iive been cornered and speculated with until the average family is not able to bay food. The people helievr that the government has power to regulate these things, and the government is going to do so, putting Hoover at the head an the controller. Hoover ha.made good, and the people; will epeet hire rr-iko gnd at;ain, and that tinieopl who produce the food sh:r have the advantage of at least a.i low prices as the rest of the world has to pay for the product- v. e podii-o. The amendment to prevent t'n: manufacture of alcohol for drinking ;uirposts from any product is a ju. t ar.e proper one, and the people, will welcome it not only for war times. bu: for all times. The defense of thi liquor business is out of dute.

Then bo "tight-wad" eseaiied his share of the financial burdens imposed. The Slieibyville paper says it does not know aa to the legality of such ap propriations, but that each county council could easily meet the requests for the vriou war funds, thus everybody paying a fair share. In the (temands so far for money for Red Cross and other purposes In this county, practically everybody has paid something, and perhaps the spirit shown and the sacrifice mnde are better than to know that everybody gave through the taxing authorities. Anyhow, the idea is suggested, and the people can decide. A OOOI) IDKA.

CROSS FUNDS ELSEWHERE Lebanonite on Visit Learn the Methods I sed in Other Cities. Lebanon wake up. Are the citizens c,r the city and the county going to fail in their apportionment for the Red Cross fund? Smaller cities than I.ebanon are more than raising their apportionment. Why can't Lebanon?

Mattix ami Mr. ind Mrs. Hairy Hamuli motored to Delphi and Montn-eli and at the latter plane thty met a number of the members of the Monticelio Red Cross chapter. In asV:ng of the method of raisirg their Kul Cros.s fund the members told of what their apportionment was and the manner of raising it. The city of Monticelio was a.-ked to raise sh.iHiLi and on Friday night they had surreede ! in obtaining Sit.jiNJ and by today they expected to have the sum of Slti.WW. They also asserted tha' if necessary they could raise $10,(X) more. This is "going some" for the people of a tow n with only 2.S00 population.
