' The United Sutea goernment la go- in a after the food BDeeulatora ia maaaer thai ia extremely heartealag to tha people. Undoubtedly prevailing high prleea are due ia part to the efforts to corner the market, aad tha eicee aiva Bomber of tlmaa a food product ia handled before it reaehea tha consumer, The government investigations have brought out the fact that eggs bought at seventeen or eighteen eenta a dozen In the summer and placed fat storage have eold in New York for over twice that amount and that ia ao, ease was a profit of mora than two or three cents a dosea made oa them, one man bought tha product several times. Bev oral men or Anna bought it one time each. .1 There ia great freedom of action in thia country aad rigbjy' ao, but re peated sales of a large quantity of food products on a speculative basis seems sufficiently prejudicial to a safe aad fair public policy to be placed under a legal baa. It is reassuring to consume that government agents are busy trying to find some way to prevent tha unnatural trade processes which ara so costly to the people. ; A very valuable suggestion also has been sande by Mr. W. J. Sheford, a member of the. State Board of Agrl culture. Mr. Bhuford aaya NoTi;h,Cjuro,;. una ioiks must ao some storing oi eggs and not let the egg kings of the great population centers do it all. Here is a great opportunity for some fair-minded, benevolently disposed North Carolina capitalist, and wa bava a feeling that most North Carolina cap! talists are that kind. Let some oaa of them buy eggs in April when they are plentiful and reasonably cheap and storeibe.in.foT-- tha- people of - North Carolina. This will cut into the profits of the farmers somewhat, but the plan ia pro posed by one of tha State's leading farmers and even with tha atoiagTTfr eilitles the probabilities are that eggs Ui bft,Jtgb. enough. t yield a fair profit to tha farmer. Ia the meantime there ia nothing to da with referenea to the high price of eggs but what nearly all except tha rich ara being forced to do, that la, do with out them, This policy lowere tha price as la shown by tha outcome la Richmond where a boycott by the Housewives' Leagno resulted ia a reduction ia price of two cents a dosea in a single day. RABBIT MEAT DEFENDED. The Texaa State Department of Agriculture, says the Montgomery Ad vertiser, announces that it has under taken to create a eountry-wide demand fof the Texaa jack-rabbit. Already two carloads have been eold and it ia" ex pected that more than a million rabbits will be shipped from Texas to Northern consumers thia winter. The Montgomery paper haa secured the additional infor mation that ia soma eitlea rabbits sell aa high aa 23 to 30 cents per pound. What Is more Interesting is that the Montgomery paper expresses doubt that rabbit meat will ever command a wide following aa, a staple meat. It has no business throwing eold water On the plana of the Texaa Board of Agriculture in thia way. Babbit meat is fine. The only trouble ia that the country ia being cleared ao fast and old fields are being placed under cultivation oa such a big scale to meet tha growing demand for other foods than rabbit meat that rabbit prospects cannot ba said to be encouraging. But there is danger in going too far la developing conditions aot conducive to rabbit growing. The main thing just now, however-, is to. make sure, that nobody ia misled by the fling of the Advertiser at a very deserving variety of meat. ' Even if we did hot know all about rabbits, wo had much rather trust ths knowledge of the Biler City Grit oa the auceulence of rabbit meat than the Montgomery Advertiser.

MTs do aot blame him, for If the gift that Barns wished for humanity were given there would be leas profaa Ity. The power to see, or ia thia ease to hear, themeelvee aa others da would make the number of people wba aae "cuss words" much smaller.

The profane swearer will pass out of polite" society" eventually just aa the tippler haa dona. FIRE HIM! One of tha troubles with tha country ia that too much money ia epeat on freak professors. . For instance. New York University has a prof eaeor who ia aaid ta. have devoted eoaaiderabla time aad effort ia research work on tha prob lem Kf "Can woniaaiaafr4ed,-aad if not, why not!" Now what la oaa to think of that . , 'She cannot ba a friend," tha pro fessor announeaa, "for although the word Is given ia both genders, the fact alone ia masculine. The reaaoa for thia state of unfriendliness ia woman Is that to be a friend a clean cut peraoaality aad a disinterested outlook oa life are required. Woman lacks both of these. Woman ia never a friend because aha la never aa individual, and to be aa Indl vidua, ona moat stand alone. Woman ia a planet a satellite well adapted to revolving aronnd some centre, but not orgsjiixed so as to ttaad alone." Think of a bigh-aalaried man using hla time and thought titrninc out non sense like that! v He ought to be fired and bis salary divided among the scrub women of New York. -- It would aeem that now la a good time to get the Kaiser interested la peace. There ia ao much red tape about buy' ing the permissible quart of liquor ia Virginia that the cost ia now ia the neighborhood of 1.60 instead af 1.00 as formerly. This ia one ease where red tape ia not objectionable. . Wa congratulate Wilmington oa ita live, energetic housewives' league. Thia organization la . making itself felt. Every community ought to bava ita housewives league. And by the way this shows again how Important woman is in ths economic structure. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS The Drag Habit. New York World. The reported marked increase of the drug habit throughout the country ia a matter for grave concern, but the in- crease of child addicts is deplorable. Thia is aot an encouraging outcome of crusade that haa been prosecuted with much official rigor. If it ia not possible to cope more adequately with tha evil among adults, certainly every effort should be made to eradicate it among children. Greenabora aad That Hat!. Wilmington Btar.
