J'arla, X rnc i nut 0b iiobut Itemiiing Uic H.C L Now and then the public ii akfd to register surprise ot the fact that the principal item of coit in thi or that btmnett i lor labor, at if there were aoutc other mean of producing real wealth than by work. In certain manufacturing industries, as in the packing houses or shoe fac tories, raw material may amount to more than wages for the immediate process, but in adding up the cost of labor in producing the meat or leather and transporting it to market, it will be found that the greater part of the total cost is due to work that has been performed. All that is as it should be. There is nothing astonishing in the statement of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace to the National League of Women Voters that labor costs comprise the largest item in marketing and distributing food. Not long ago the government investigated the cost of selling meat through retail stores. It was found that wages amounted to 61 per cent of re tailing costs. Of each dollar spent by the con sumer for meat, 81.14 cents was paid by the storekeeper to the packer; 16.57 cents represented the cost of retailing, and 2.29 cents the mer chant's net profit. Out of the total operating expense of 16.57 cents, salaries and wages took 10.25 cents; rent, 1.33 cents; ice and refrigeration, 0.77; wrap pings, 0.76; heat, light and power, 0.21; interest, 0.51, and miscellaneous, 2.74 cents. The differ ence in operating expenses between stores de livering their goods and those that did not was smaller than might be expected, amount ing to 2 cents on each dollar of purchase. The cost of selling meat is nearly double what it was in 1913, or 3.86 cents per pound in 1921 compared with 3.19 cents per pound eight years previous. Senator Capper, in following up the address of Secretary Wallace, advocated less competition and more co-operation in the mar ketlng of all foodstuffs. He claimed that the farmer receives only 30 cents out of the consum er's dollar and urged new methods to cut down this spread. The last thing most people want to see is a reduction in the reward of labor. If this is to be avoided, wasteful methods of production, manufacture and distribution must be eliminated, and greater efficiency, both of organization and labor, obtained all along the line. ' ' America's Foreign Trade. When everything else is inflated, it was but nat ural that the- foreign trade of the United States shoold have swollen also. The most obvious fact is the great decline in value both of exports and imports in 1921 as compared with 1920. In the flush year the total of imports and exports was $13,000,000,000; in the year of deflation, $7,000, 000,000. It is not correct, however, to compare values, for the slump in prices does not consider the actual bulk of goods, which did not decrease to any such extent. . "- ' i Compared with prewar years the value of 1921 exports and imports surpasses that of any pre war record. Exports last year were 90 per cent greater in value than in 1913. ' Imports were 32 per cent more than in 1913, which saw the high est point of import trade up to that time. The balance of trade, which is to say, the excess of goods shipped out over those shipped into Amer ica, was $1,876,000,000 last year, $2,950,000,000 in 1920, and only $471,000,000 in 1913. The propor tion of imports to exports appears to be growing less; 80 per cent in 1913, 64 per cent in 1920, and 56 per cent last year. Enough has been shown to prove that those who say Europe is not buying American products are mistaken. In the last year the Europe Mediterranean' region took one-half of our ex ports and furnished one-third of our imports. The value of our exports to central Europe was larger last year than before the war. With America's foreign trade still almost double that of before the war, it would be only natural if, as the process of reconstruction con tinues, overseas commerce would decline some what. It would be more helpful if figures could be compiled on the basis of tonnage rather than on fluctuating values and that would stop a good deal of the calamity propaganda. Making the Missouri Work. About the first thing the Mississippi Valley association heard when opening its session at Kansas City was this statement from Cleveland A. Newton of St. Louis: There is no river in this country the use of which is more needed to bear hs burdens of freight than the Missouri river from Kansas City to the mouth. The wheat fields of west ern Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas produce mil lions of tons of freight which ought to be given the benefit of cheap water transportation over the Missouri and Mississippi rivers out to the sea, and the flour manufacturers at Kansas City, St, Joseph or Omaha ought to be given the benefit of cheap water transportation down the Missouri and Mississippi to Cairo and then up the Ohio to the great flour market in the industrial fields around Pittsburgh. Mr. Newton represents a St. Louis district in congress, and has raised his voice on the floor of the house on several recent occasions in de fense of river and harbor improvements, and especially in behalf of inland waterways. Omaha is not inclined to be jealous of Kansas City, but, on the other hand, is willing to co-operate in the matter of establishing river traffic between Kan sas City and the mouth of the Missouri, realizing liat thereby an influejge. for good will be ex-t rt4 on freight rttff, both incoming anj out going. Onulia !a not iM it is but muT of time, hen steamboat art tying up at Kansas City's Uad'fli regularly, until our en river front will r tlmilar sight. The MUtourt liver khuuM be put lo work; it lias Utn idle too fang a -n I Ulytvs S. Grant. Today U the on hundredth inittrury o( the birth of LI) S. Grant, great American concerning whoe services a correct rtimate Ji rot tt been nude. 'Already it i admitted that he it entitled lo viand next, if not alongside, lo Washington and Lincoln, and it may be lh 3 longer per.peclive will give him even greater value. It is well, at any time, to ttudy 'the career cf this nun, who overtime adve roity and who conquered him.elf that he might conquer a greater enemy. The interim between Grant's reignation of 1,1 rommi.tion at captain in the regular army and his committion as colonel of an Illinois regi mcnt of volunteers was one of the nio.t im portaut periods of his life. He suffered ma terially, being practically difcarded by hit own father and the father ot hit wife; he toiled at work "only fit for niggers," he endured poverty and privation, but he overcome, and when he wat called upon to meet hit opportunity at Henry and Donelson, he wat ready. One recent writer hat expressed the thought that Grant wat not called home, at wat Lincoln when he stood at the pinnacle of hit achievement rrobably not, but the last hours of hit life were at heroic at any in all hit record. Indeed, many think of him, not at Appomattox, victor over Lee; not as preidrnt of the United States, sur rounded by partisans and befogged by bitterness and rancor, in which he shared but little; not as a great American citizen, honored on a globe- encircling tour, but at a silent, tortured figure, wrapped in blankets, sitting in a chair, speech less and doomed, but fighting back death while he concluded the work that was to lift the bur den from hit family and dnpet any possible cloud that might shadow his name. One of his greatest battles was fought at Mount McGregor, Historians will dispute for a long time over certain points in the public life of U. S. Grant; professional soldiers will analyze and criticize his military achievements, but tbe people of the United States will treasure his name as long as the nation stands, because he did and does in his person and his memory typify so much that is truly American. Might oj the Mississippi t Fight Against Floo4 Shows tho Majesty of th Father of Water, What Will Mr. Bryan Say? William Jennings Bryan is coming to Ne braska to make a speech, in which his attitude toward the coming campaign will doubtless be expressed. It may be assumed that this is already foreshadowed in the letter frotn C. W. Bryan, in which the "united democracy" keynote was sounded. That, however, opens a considerable field for speculation. Is the Bryan who is com ing back to his home people the man who stood so long before them the embodiment of courage to battle for principle, and accept defeat rather than compromise? Is it the Bryan who reso lutely opposed that element of his party which he regarded as' devoted to the forces of evil; the Bryan who fought the money power, the saloon, and all they stood for, whose ideal was the Amer,- Scan home and clean manhood; or is it a new Bryan, one we have never met, wluJ is ready to compound with those he has so strongly de nounced in other times? If a change has come over the age, it must be in Mr. Bryan, for the crew who took such unholy delight in thwarting his plans, defeating him and his candidates, is the same old gang. They haven't changed a hair. Nebraskans will wonder if the sojourn in the soft climate of his adoption has so mellowed the fiber of the great commoner's moral nature that he will make political expediency his control rather than stand, as he has always, for what he believes to be right? The Bee, in common with many other good Nebraskans, is curious to learn what Mr. Bryan will say. ' "Papa JoffreV Forty Winks. Marshal Joffre fell asleep at a function. His companion nudged him, he awoke, smiled, and went to sleep again. And thereby proved him self a human , being, akin to all, the race. , Re member, the marshal has been on a journey of the world; he has been lionized, and feted, and is fed up on it all, except perhaps sleep. He has tried, everywhere but in Omaha, to be a good fellow, to go to all the places he was expected to go to, and do a lot of things that are out bf is line. He can organize vittory, issue ringing appeals to his army, and be a soldier right up to the limit. Yet he gets drowsy, just as the rest of us do, when he is tired out and has to sit in a stuffy room, listening to a lecturer drone away about a subject in which he has but slight in terest. In this case the talk was about Moliere. nd perhaps was expected to appeat to the pa- riotism of the famous soldier; doubtless he is immensely interested in the greatest of French dramatists, but, as already stated, he is human nd so he yielded , to the irresistible, impulse. closed his eyes and went to sleep. The dispatch telling of the event does not say if he snored, but we hope he did. He would thereby have ex pressed a popular opinion of Moliere. Out of respect to the principles, if any, of the Russians, the customary toast to the king was omitted at a dinner given by the Italian premier. Those dreadful communists found a good deal of humor in this, and afterwards remarked that they gladly would have drunk it. "We may be bolshevists, but our manners are good," said Tchitcherin. "We do not agree with monarchies, but we . Would never have been so rude as to place an affront upon the head of the State whose guest we are." If this politeness i kept up, Lenin himself will be called a parlor bolshevist. Still, it may have been more a case of thirst than courtesy some people never could resist a drink. Until William J. Bryan speaks at Lincoln, Saturday, Nebraskans will be in the dark whether the state campaign is to be fought on the anti-evolution plank or whether the main ef fort will be to repeal the law of gravity. To show the importance of their church, Spiritualists in Paterson . recently marched through the streets, 500 strong this, of course, is not counting the spooks. Whatever happens at Genoa, Lloyd George may be depended on to end it up with a flourish, making it appear as a very rainbow of hope.

Arkansas and Tennes see planters will build higher embankments, rar seeing Kentucky shore dwellers will say: "Our neighbors below us have a 42-foot levee. That meant the river can not overflow there and re l eve the pressure on us. Our levees must go higher. The War department has jurisdiction over the rivers, so the popular impression in the valley prevails that congress mut build all the levees pud the representatives m congress in these shore-lying districts are given to understand that re-election depends on getting higher levees. The race goe on! Where will it end? sage engineers ak. When the Ohio disgorged mil lions of gallons of water into the already swollen Mississippi at Cairo, m 1912, practically every levee below that point to Memphis and on down into Arkansas and Mississippi gave way. r.vcn the Ohio had forced its way through a levee above Cairo, some eight miles from Its mouth, swept across fifteen miles of low prairie into the Mississippi, and for more 'than a week the little town in the triangle at the confluence of the two mighty rivers, the water level many feet above its streets, was afraid to eo to sleep, white hun dreds of its citizens constantly patrolled atop its levees. Dav' by day,, however, the telegraph wires brought reports of new destruction south along the course of the river, and with each re port the citizens breathed easier, for1 the news of added ruin meant that Mississippi was per forming; its normal function again and spreading over the lowlands, its high level upstream mean time falling. Hardly had the flood subsided than the rush to Washington began. Scores of valley towns sent their delegations. The levee race began anew. New destruction was wrought the next year, 1913. and what little opposition had been en countered in congress was overcome wwth these fresh talcs of destruction. Then followed ten years of steady flood prevention and levee build- nar in the valley. It had held the Mississippi in leash, although threatened in 1918, -when the ice gam came. However, lack of heavy spring rains helped the river carry off the great burden. Conditions were ideal for a flood this spring. The winter was heavy. The Mississippi was choked with ice from St. Louis north: its tribu tary, the Missouri river, likewise. Floating ice has been running south from St. Louis to Mem phis since January. Then spring rains came. A treat torrent poured into the Ohio from the Allegheny and the Monongahela; the Wabash aided, and heavy rains from the watersheds of the Tennessee and Kentucky rivers gave the Ohio a bankful at its mouth. The Mississippi can carry off an Ohio bankful under normal con ditions, but this time the yellow torrent was met by a darker rush of waters and ice from the great northern Mississippi and Missouri valleys, How to Keep Well Py PR, ff, A.

Our death rates have reached the irreducible. Our minor sickness rates are still far above that level. Manv schemes for meetine this great problem on the Mississippi have been pretented, but the levee building, as affording immediate protection, has had to go on until engineers are asking Where will it end?" It has even been sucaested that the beds of the Mississippi and Ohio val leys in the levee building race are gradually fill ing up, and predicting a time wnen me ureai levees will hold the course of the stream above the level of the lands. The levees in most in stances are of earthen construction, except those irroundinir the cities. That at Cairo on the Ohio side is reinforced concrete( based upon in terlocking steel piling driven far into the ground. and estimated to hold out a 60-foot stage of water. ' ' . ' The nine-foot channel project of the War riVnartmcnt. nrovidinz for the buildmir ot a great system of dams and locks up the Ohio from its . mouth to Pittsburgh, primarily to establish year-round navigation, it was believed would aid the flood situation, for hundreds of millions f gallons of water could be stored in the Jocks and discharged gradually. This scheme, how ever, has never been completed, although con gress has appropriated for many of the locks, and some have been actually constructed. Lumbermen have come forward with the sug gestion that clearing the river's shores of timber, which once absorbed much of the water or de layed it on its rush to the river, is really the cause of the great floods, but they do not seem to have taken any steps to avoid this. Wise old planters, some ot whom have seen their homes inundated or swept away a dozen times by. the river, shake their heads and say: - "It is as natural for the Mississippi to over flow its banks each spring as it was for the Nile in biblical days, and no man-made levees will hold its waters back. And the mad levee building race goes on in the valley for a thousand miles. Ending Seasickness The adaotation of the evroscope to the ocean liner is an old dream of shipbuilding, which eemsat last to be realized. The tests made at Philadelphia with a gyro-stabilizer, weighing 120 tons are reported successful, and it is an nounced that the shipping board's steamer Hawkey e State, which runs from Baltimore to Honolulu bv way of the Panama canal, will be equipped with the great balancing wheel. A steamship which can not roil win De a godsend to individuals cursed with seasickness. Some of these persons never dare a crossing of the ocean; others stick to their berths from port to port. In future, by boarding a ship equipped with Ihe stabilizer, any seagoer, no matter how wabbly his previous performances, no matter how deep his past debt to the stewards for keep s' him alive, may be confident mat tne norizon will stop its terrible motions.
