He says that if Germans wish to cultivate friendly relations with this country they must convince Amer- icans not only that militarism is dead but that the new Germany has no in- tentions of fostering a socialist world revolution. Food Stored There is another food investigation . on the way and.it promises to develop something that may be of much inter- est t& the consumer. The Illinois State Board" of Agriculture has found out that much larger quantities of food are now in storage than anyone kriew lalWtit, .unless" it. was,the profit- eers, and they are going.to.try.and put some of that on the market in a way by which it is hoped prices will be lowered. f iThir inehides butter, eggs, beef and .pork, and the combined totals far exceed what the same storage;plant* 'Held a-year. »go. That the export, trade was getting the butter was in- sisted upon by dealers and that'wa's" given as the explanation of the high ~"'#H&i£"-soviiWidt «f it w^.. gging. d.iabrpad |hat .there, was not enough left for'liome consumption anS, of "course the price' remained high. f t, Now comes the weekly report of the state board on stocks in storage, and it shows that the export ship- ' meats' of butter h&ve be*n much fee- low the normal. The women who met for organiza-" tion against food profiteering arc stfll convinced th«|. . jobber* ,;.j responsible for the (oca! situation they are going to assist the presenta tion of the food situation to the fed: ' eral grand jury in the' expectation' that indictments will speedily fol- low. That Surplus Food With the present scale of prices it seems a ridiculous thing to even talk about surplus food, let alone con- sider the possibility of getting some. But the government has vast quanti- ties-of it stored right in Chicago and it is not outside the bounds of possibility that it may be sold in a way that the city or county may benefit, even though the individual does not. The list includes canned vegetables, dried fruits and meats of all sorts. It was bought by the government with part of the money we subscribed to buy liberty bonds, but there is.no chance of the individual benefitting by its sale. That is to be made in car load lots, and several communi- ties have taken advantage of the low prices quoted. Cook county hopes to be able to buy a lot of it that can be used to advantage in the county institutions, and.the city fs trying to get some of it too. ... ■ (. Double In Price Now it is the men's tailors who say that by next summer men will have to pay one hundred per cent, more for garments if they are to be: in-style. The soldier boys back from, France >eomplam.itbat they, are charged tiear- ljf double the prices they paid' b'etWe' the war for "their civilian clothes. The &p%na&9if'~s<Mtt',of them 'give for wearing their uniforms is that they .cann.o^affp'-dUo buy: "cit." ki^fcse* prices, if they have to stand another oloutilfnt-in^^ spyhole lot of them will b«L>*«nji*ed^to. go bacfc^to fig leaves. J i i ft Mlbum Ele<$riefj\il ing Popular The French Way The French government seems to be doing something worth while to enuable the people to meet the high cost of living. They have food sta- tions there at which it is possible to get food at cost or even to obtain it if- the purchaser.has not the price, and an order has just been issued doubling the number of such stations. Then they have opened under, gov- ernment patronage a lot or low price restaurants and foodstuffs are being made available to the general public through co-operative associations. The government, like Qurs, -finds that it has a lot of foodstuffs to sell that were bought to feed the soldiers, and it is letting the people who paid for, them have the first opportunity to ' buy these government stocks at greatly . reduced prices. There is a 'hint here for home consumption.. ' ' A new under secretary, has-been 'appointed to have entire control'of this 'food - question, with power . to . prosecute the speculators. His Eye On Fonda ': Count von Bernstorff' of fragrant ; memory, says flow that- Germany should adopt a pro-American policy, • forget imperialism and adopt the ideas of- the league of .nations. "There," he says, in ah article in a \ weekly German paper, "the idea of ' the) league of nations is a living one, ' and there, alone, are funds to 'be found.".; One wonder* whether he is most : concerned with the ideas of the i league or with th* finding of these ! funds. He says that socialism is un- popular in the United States and that' the principal champion of the league idea will be at the helm for another twenty months." That twenty months limit looks as though he could sje the election of a Republican presi- ATTENTION SERVICE MEN More discharged service men of Wilmette are daily identify- ing themselves with the Wil- mette Post of the American Legion, the national World War veterans' organization, of which a branch has been estb- lished in Wilmette an announc- ed in the Lake Shorn News sev- eral weeks ago.
