HONOR THE SOLDIER BOYS
When a young man lays aside all
his hopes and plans, leaves his home
and all who are dear to him to serve
his country and risk his life in de
fense of his flap, he is making a
supreme sacrifice. To recognize the
measure of that sacrifice ami show
appreciation of if is the duty of
every loyal citizen. The hoys who
are leaving for the training camps
are entitled to an expression of the
esteem and gratitude of every resi
dent of the community in which they
reside. It is a comfort to them to
know that the grateful good will and
earnest prayers of their fellow cit
izens will follow them to the train
ing camps and the trenches.
There is no better way in which
to demonstrate your appreciation of
what these young men are sacrific
ing for you, and to show your inter
est in their well fare than by joining
in giving them a rousing send-off
when they leave their homes to re
port for service*. To go to the train
to bid them good-bye and God-speed
is the least anyone can do to proveS
that he or she feels under obliga
tions to them, is proud of them and
takes a personal interest in them.
They are facing months of loneliness,
hardship and danger and need the
stimulus of starting out with the as
surance that they are taking with
them the esteem and affection
of all the home folks. Some of
them will not have any close rela
tives or friends to offer a farewell
message of love and encouragement
but they should be made to feel that
everyone who can not go to the front
with them is their friend.
Don't let any young man leave
your community for the training
camps without letting him know how
deeply you appreciate the supreme
sacrifice which he is making to pro
tect your homes and your right, to
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness.
WM. GOODYEAR.
AX UNFAIR STANDARD
The U. S. food administration has
adjusted the discrimination against
the wheat of the Northwest by estab
lishing a basic price at Pacific ter
minals, but the graingrowers have
another just cause of complaint. This
time it is against the government
standard for the grading of Red Rus
sian wheat. This is a light variety
of wheat, the very best quality rare
ly weighing over __ pounds per
bushel. The great bulk of it of good
milling quality tests between .',: and
"i.j pounds, yet the standard Bet by
the government requires a weight of
KARL P. ALLEN, Editor.
tin pounds per bushel for No. I and
58 pounds for No. 2. The difference
in price between No. 1 and No. _
is three cents a bushel and an addi
tional tine.,, cents is docked if the
grain fails to test __ pounds.
Red Marquis is a heavy variety,
rarely running under 60 pounds ar,>\
frequently testing as high as Co
pounds, yet the government stand
ard set for tins wheal is but 59
pounds to the bushel.
The result of the standard of 60
pounds set for No. 1. and of 58
pounds for No. 2 Red Russian is that
practically all of this variety will
be graded as No. .'!, and the growers
will he penalized six cents a bushel,
which is at least three cents a bushel
less than the wheat is worth in com
parison with other varieties. A fair
standard would be' 58 pounds for No.
1 and 56 pounds for No. 2, and the
change could doubtless be' secured if
the facts were properly presented to
the government officials.
The justice of modifying 'he* pies
ent standard is so obvious tha' no
logical argument can be' presented
against it. The grain growers should
make a vigorous demand that the
state Public Service commission pre
sent the matter to the proper federal
authorities and either secure a modi
fication of the unfair standard or an
explanation of why the standard
weight of a light variety of wheat
should be fixed higher than the
standard for a heavy variety.
WM. GOOD YEAR!
IM.XA 1,1/1 NO HOOVKRITKN
It cost! money to be a Hooverite. !
The housewives tot the Northwest
who are patriotically endeavoring to
heed Mr. Hoover's appeal to save our
wheat, beef and pork for our allies,
by substituting other forms of food
on the family table are finding that
it is an expensive proposition. When
they began to substitute fish for
meat, up went the price of fish. When
they began to substitute corn meal
or rye for wheat flour, they found
that the price of the meal and rye
was from two to nine cents a pound
higher than the price of the flour.
It is evident, that some gentlemen in
the United States are planning to
make money out of the Hoover cam
paign.
It is as disheartening as it is dis
gusting to have a small class of sel
fish men capitalize for their own
benefit the efforts of millions of their
countrymen to help along the war
program of the government. The
vast majority of the people are will
ing to co-operate in conserving the
wheat and meat of the country by
substituting other forms of food, but
tin have a right to demand that the
substitutes be sold at a reasonable
figure. To ask the farmer to sell his
wheat for a far lower price than the
law of supply and demand justifies,
and in addition 'o cut down his ra
tion-; of wheat flour, bacon and beef
and substitute articles of food which
should coal less but in reality cost
more, is taxing his patriotism a little
too far. Because he is willing to
sacrifice a portion of his just profits
to help the government in its hour
of need, it does not follow that he
should be asked to pay tribute to the
fish dealer and miller of corn by
substituting their products ftt. his
own on his dining table.
It is not enough for the food ad
ministrator to advise the people
what to eat and how to prepare it.
he must see that they can secure it
at. ■ reasonable price.
WM. GOODYEAR.
SENSELESS CRITICISM
The New York Journal of Com
merce gives utterance to the follow
ing bit of unjust and senseless criti
»
asm:
The Farmers' combinations are
making every effort to get the last
possible cent out of the government
and tin* consumers. These same
farmers who are demanding the high
est possible speculative price for their
product are demanding that other
people's products shall be sold to
them at forced low prices."
What are the. facts? The govern
ment has set an arbitrary price on
the farmer's wheat from one to two
dollars less per bushel than the lew
of supply and demand would justify.
This is not a minimum price, but is
equivalent to a maximum price. Th"
farmer can not sell his wheat for any
more than the fixed price, but the
millers and dealers can buy his
wheat for as much less as they can
secure it. If he must sell at once
to raise money to pay pressing dehts
they can dock it on grade to their
heart's content. It is evident that
instead of getting the last possible
cent out of the government and the
consumers the farmer is selling his
wheat for far less than it is worth.
Are the consumers getting the bone
fit? The retail prices of the pro
ducts of wheal have not been fixed
and there is far too wide a spread
between the price of wheat and the
price of flour aim bread.
if the farmer wants to buy some
fish for dinner, he finds that the
price lias been advanaced sky high,
without any apparent reason except
that the fish dealers Bee an oppor
tunity to make money out of the war.
If he wants to buy a plow he fin.is
that the price has been nearly
doubled. If a farm wife wants to
purchase some knitting yarn she
finds that the cost is almost prohib
itive. 'Ph.- farmer's profits on his
wheat are restricted by law, bat the
profits of the manufacturers, Jobbers
and retailers have as yet no limit ex
cept the sky. The farmer is thus
far a sufferer, not a beneficiary, by
government price fixing. Ail that
they ask is that if an arbitrary price
is fixed on the wheat they have to
sell, a commensurate arbitrary price
he fixed on what they have to buy.
To abuse them for making this de
mand is both senseless and unjust.

"FREAKISH" CLOTH
DOOMED I'Oli DISCARD
The abandonment of freakish mod
els in men's and women's clothes
which require an extravagance of
cloth will feature the 1918 spring
styles, if the recommendations of
the commercial economy board of
the national council of defense are
adopted by the clothing manufactur
ing concerns and retail clothiers of
the United States. The board has
addressed letters to every retail
dealer outlining the recommenda
tions they have made to the clothing
manufacturers. These recommenda
tions include the avoidance of ex
cessive multiciplicity of styles;
models which use cloth for needless
adornments, including belts on coats,
and advocate the use of cloth, so far
as possible, in which reworked wool
or cotton is in part substituted for
new wool.
