For example, the Federal Trade Commission tells the pub lic that the large packers had an agreed price for lard substitute (made of cotton-seed oil.) ' It reproduces letters taken from the files of one of the packers, showing that such agreed price existed. 4 But 5fc failed to mention that the agreed price was deter mined at the request of and in co-operation with the Food Administration! Even the Department of Jus tice, in its unjust attempt to create prejudice against the packers, has made public these same letters, with no explanation. How long must this kind of misrepresentation continue? In so far as it is believed, it not only breeds discontent, but re sults in injustice to our industry. 1 Lot ua send you a ."Swift Dol!cr."

In a three column front page article the Lincoln Sunday Stato Journal charges thnt politics wore at tho root of tho Omaha riot.

"The riot was an incident in tin death struggjo of Hie machine which ruled Omaha for ycarx. j, "Many hold that the guilt of BrojJ-n has not been established."

After nearly five years of wnr Ostend Is resuming ordinary lift1, as fnraspos Bible under present conditions, with the reopening of the famous casino, says the I'all Mall Gazette. Less than twelve weeks ago, says n Keuter telegram, the great salons of the casino were a scene of devastation uml wanton destruction. Although oc cupying so prominent a position on the sea front, the buildings themselves escaped tho coiri' mi bombardment from sen and air ti at bus transformed so many of the bountiful hotels and villas along the Digue Into heaps ot nibble, and the use of nine toils -ot glass has repaired all the damage thus occasioned, but the Gcrmunn showed J their usual thoroughness In gutting and defiling the salons themselves. Every stick of furniture was taken : away, beautiful tapestries were slashed and torn by German bayonets and j every mirror in the halls was removed, , together with the copper candelabra In the salons and the beautiful copper staircase. Not content with robbery, the Ger mans defiled the rooms In nauiolevs ways and, in fact, left the whole place In a state that would have shamed any I a nl nuil Inhabiting a stable. Hut since I February n miracle has been wrought and but for the fact that some of the more valuable fittings nre at present only temporarily replaced by Imitation, thero will bo no evidence of the war so far as the casino Is concerned, when It reopens soon. RATHER OVERDID THE THING Friends of Candidate for Government Appointment Laid the Flattery on a Bit Thick. John L.

"Not long ago 1 met ex-President Taft while lie was In this city. He has o remarkable memory. Shaking me by the hand, he said: 'When I finished rending the grandiloquent re-, ports in your favorsome years ago 1 pictured to myself n man possessed with angels' wings and fit to, be the American nmbassador extrnordlnacyo the heavenly kingdom. I supposed pu were dead at the time, for tho r.en,qr,$ read like an epitaph on a toinbstone, so remarkable were the tostlinpnlnlsof your friends in your behalf.'

Few of the picturesque tribal cos tumes that depart In main essentials from the dress found convenient by western civilization have succeeded' In mnlntninlntr their tTVt'onel elnrnr terlstics. The Kouiuanian people ure unnng those whom the war has caused to forsake a distinctive nntlonal male nltire. This, Jn Its main linos, '(re called the costume of the Itonian le gionaries, which was adopted by the nation when Uoumanln formed the Homan Province of Pneia. It con sisted of n short white tunic, "bag trousers" of white wool, and a curi ously embroidered coat. Many of these garments were carried away as loot hy Invaders during the war. and the relief garments sent In from France, which niv of more conventional de sign, are expected to drive" the nntlonal costume into disuse.

EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY American Genius Quickly Produced Precision Blocks Accurate to Millionth Part of Inch. One of America's little-known wnr romances Is revealed by John II. Van Deventer In his' story of precision gauges, which appears in Everybody's. Virtually all of our munitions had to be made to limit gauges which had to he corrected by means of precision blocks to within a few mllllnnths of an Inch. "Twenty years ago," writes Mr. Van Deventer, "a Swedish tool maker named, Johansson made up his mind thnt the millionth of an Inch was the coming tiling limited during nine years for a practical way to get It and got It. How? Nobody knows ex cept Johnnssou, and he won't tell. For over nine years ho kept everybody guessing. Our best shops Imported his blocks and used them for clieck 1 ltig the gauges. , "Then came the war, with Its won derful stimulation of American no nius. With It came also the need 'off being Independent of tho old world. t In tho matter of gauges. "The war took K. O. Peck away from his job of running a great fac tory lu Cleveland and brought him ,to Washington to tufco charge of the gauging of ordnance products. It brought William E. Hoke of St. Louis , to tho bureau of standards, with an i Idea of how to produce precision blocks. Colojiol Peck and Major Hoke igot together, and In six months were (turning out precision blocks accurate to tho millionth part of an Inch." Genuine The Sticcesstal and Efficient Remedy.

The first wheat that ripened In Ca nadian sunshine was grown In 1007 ut Port Royal, now Annapolis Hnsln, Nova Scotia. Here Champlaln and de Monts founded a post and built a fort. They were Joined by Marc Lescarbot, n lawyer of Purls, a poet, and the , earliest writer of Canadian history. Love of adventure drew him to Port Royal. Outside the palisades of the fort he cultivated a plot of land In j part of which he cowed wheat, j brought, of course, from France. Ills sowing was fall or winter wheat. It ' grew well, ripened perfectly, and with sickles Lescarbot and his associates cut the crop. Thnt was the llrst wheat crop harvested on land now wlthltt tht Dominion of Canada. The Income Tax.

One particularly hot day a pretty North side girl whose crowning glory is quite Tltlauly Inclined, me! a friend a young man whom she had not seen recently In Monument circle. At his suggestion they decided to take lu the picture show and. Incidentally, hnve a little visit, Af,ways solicltous.about her uppeilr - ance. (his afternoon she was excep - tionally so and fearful that her nose might, perhaps, be shiny. Wherefore! !fOn emerging from the theater, she j lagged if little behind her escort, and, uastwy opening Her dorine box, gave I htiV "ls- " surreptitious dab. I'ortllled with the thought, that even If it was a hot day she was looking pretty fair, she couldn't account for the very peculiar expression that she saw on his face as ho turned to speak to her in the lobby. After a minute of strained silence, he said : "What have you been doing to your face, lillse? Trying to match your nose to your hair? It's a poor job If you did. Let's beat It- back nnd you tnke a look In a mirror." "Which same we did," she said, when she told the story on herself. Said she: "I knew he'd tell It, so I thought 1 might as well tell It llrst. Of course you know I hadn't powdered my nose. I'd rouged It and abundantly, too. And It didn't come off as easily as It went on. either." Indianapolis News. German Cripples Employed.

Sufficient time nas not yet elapsed Vto'determlne the Indirect effects of the ! recent eruption of Mount Kloet In .Tayu I which wiped out over a score of vll- 'ages and killed thousands of the na- fives, but recollections of Krakatoa's . volcanic outburst In 1SS;5 which within six weens spnnicieu its une lava uust over the whole world, bus given nn In teresting suggestion to certain mem bers of the medical profession. During the closing year of the war an Influ enza epidemic raged In tunny pnrts of the world, The manner of its out break In different countries. Indicated that the germs of the disease bad boon conveyed by the currents In the air. The theory, therefore, has been broached that the poison gases with which many sectors of tlie lighting men were drenched were carried by the wind in every direction, causing the influenza outbreak In Spain, Ger many, England. France, South Amer ica, Australia, Africa, Asia, as well as In the United States and some of tho Central American countries. Thnt the Influenza Is a corollary of the war Is undoubted. Any similar gigantic con flict, Is argued, would be attended with n similar widespread pestilence! un other reason why every effort should ho made to avert wars In the future. Leslie's.
