It is natural, perhaps, that, the most marked change. should be noted in ioodf This is basic; without a surplus of f,ood, man can hot givei time or effort to anything else. For five years the production ' of food was neglected as it .iirvi rvaa ji. luc UISIUIJ' UI XI V UlzailUll. inC whole world was engaged in war; food produc ing countries were leader's "in the destructive effort, put forth with utmost zeal and energy, and surplus stores of eatables were exhausted", while great areas were devastated jjy contend ing, armies. The famine that ensued' is not a remarkable manifestation in any sense." v' The rise in foo'd values under these condi tions is but the natural and unavoidable result "6f lessened production and increased Consump tion. Generally throughout tha, world, man is striving to .restore -something like rfhe- normal balance between supply and demand for food. But the changed relation of food to other arti cles for human -jjseris, not fully .appreciated. In our own country (there has iiever been, a time when a bushef of grain would purchase so much' of the soil from which it grew, 'or could be ex changed for as great a quantity of anything the farmer has to buy. - "Wages have .advanced, the, selling price of all -hat is.-dealt in has been put up, until the arti fttial quotations current fit 'the market have in a considerable degree lost their meaning. Utter lack of stability in prices, except those of food , articles, has characterized dealings fqr many months.' This can not last, however, and as the selling .value of food takes on more fixed and definite., form, so wijj the others come to seek a level more nearly permanent than now prevails," but in an entirely new proportion to one another and to the stark necessities of lifeC This is true because man must have food. It is the one immutable guaranty to the farmer that mi efforts -will be .rewarded. It may be ont of the unexpected resuifts of thewar that agriculture in all ts ramifications has been brought to its proper-place aa.'the'top of ojir industries, but the fact is noft'td "be e'scapett. ' J . ' . -Xl i 'Mr. Cummings in Sad Plight. We feel soiry for Mr 'Homer S.

In a "world of Keauty, of spring sunshine and full of the promise of summer's growth and autumn ripening, he sees , no, , joy. ,' His way ahead is throueh eloom.; and vthe 'future looks black and tnurky to him.-.

Shifts in the stock market are not always indicative of the; trend of the deeper currents of business, but Yornettring in the present sftua'tioti suggests that brokers, bulls and bears alike, descry the approach of the inevitable, readjust ment. Spasmodic raids on ,the market are sup plemented, at the moment by other signsof greater import. The address. of Judge Gary to the steel men is. quoted from in several partic ulars. For the public it contained the comfort ing information that the cost of steel is- beingl held down that ifcmayavc some influence on the general course of prices. Financial experts point out an even more significant text inlhe. remarks of the great industrial leader. United Stated-Steel corporation's' vaults will for the immediate future at least carry a greater reserve' '.of-cash than ever. '.Profits are going into1 reserve rather than dividends, in order that, tVe-enormous' business of the giant con cern may tVe" safely and economically financed. This, had a reflex oii the price of its stock, as speculators are looking for 'tire big dividend -payers, rather tharMhose that offer, less returns but greater safety.- The plan of the steel com-, pany is being followed by' other important con cerns, whose managers, are reported to be tak ing care of day-to-day transactions from earn- ings instead of by s"hort-time borrowing.- Declaration by an important mercantile con-" cern of a 40 per cent stock' dividend indicates the magnitude as well as -the fecundity of its business,' and ' i disposition tro fix in'permanent employment a. considerable part of the enorm ous surplus accumulated during the war period.

Another sign, that will bear watching is the situation in Japan, where speculation as well a9 too rapid industriarexpansion has brought such financial disruption as amounts toia veritable panic. Counterbalance this by the recovery in progress i England, and the belief that the end of our "era' of post-war business expansion is coming. This dpes not mean a panic, but that industry and commerce are seeking a firmer basis. ' v '" -'-.. ' -- .

The conversation of the three men related to building dams, bridges, railroads, court houses and other largo buildings. They were probably engineers and contractors. Presently one picked up The Bee -and read aloud a dispatch tellingnhat General Gorgas (he pronounced it Gorgess) had been employed to. make Peru healthy. He was hired by the Rocke feller Foundation under an arrange ment with the government of Peru. The job was good for five years and toe pay was $15,000 a year. can ne ao it 7" asked the fat one. "Sure he can," replied the one with glasses. "Give him the money and the power." "But what's there to this talk about having the intelligent support of an intelligent rank and flle?" "Nothing to it." said the man with glasses. "Didn't he clean up Cuba? Where was the intelligent co operation of the rank and file? Didn't he make Panama healthy ? He didn't, get any Intelligent co-operation from the West Indian negroes who make up the labor population there. No, sir. What you need is the money and the power, that's all. See how he kept the death rate of the army down because he had the Tjioney and the power. Fifteen thou sand dollars 'a year! That's pay for that job, said the reader. "Oh, air those health fellows are cheap guys," put in the man with specs, "u notice tnat John D. pays the bill. Think of what John D. would have charged as his rakeoff for making Peru healthy." ' - "But that is different," said the fat man. "John p. was .he great est merchant in the world. He changed the methods of marketing a commodity universally used. He was entitled to big brokerage." J'Right you are," ' said he of the specs., .'But didn't 'Uorgess' maKe the building of the Panama canal possible? What did anybody ever do that imade more change than What 'Gorgess did- in . Cuba and what grew out of it everywhere in Central and South America?" "Well, those health people do make people change. . They do get big results. Why 'don't they ask more for what they do?" , Here the conversation shifted slightly. Said one: .. "I wonder why somebody don't try that army health stuff on a civilian population? They" had no flies in the army camps. I wish somebody would make Omaha flyless this .summer, said the fat man. "They tell me there are no flies in Havana. Maybe there are none in that country."- "Don't you think it," said the man with specs. "Go into any little place 40 miles from Havana where nothing t6 pre sent flies is done and more flies will light on your bald head than you will find on a dead horse in South Omaha." s Villa is reported to have r,ushed at once to Sonora f6 aid in the revolt against Carranza there.
