Sometimes the "independents" appear to have all the earrying faciliâ€" ties they want for their game ofi charging . extortionate | prices, whil> the regular companies seem unable !n} get cars. Ere long, we are confident the Federal Trade Commission will look into this. ; through four or six hands before it reached the consumeg and of oneâ€"in stance where it pas:ed through the hands of the same jobber twice, h¢ buying it back for speculation. _ W»o want the consumers # _ coâ€"operiats with us in finding out the dealers who are attempting extortion, .and we will soe that investigation is mad: for an advance of about 8O cenis > ton by producers, covering ‘the wags increase.

The coal probiem is still with us. Citizens®who have been desirous . of having nex t winter‘s supply in ghe bin: find that the dealers are fiot in a position to fill the orders that have been entered on the books. The preâ€" sent scarcity of fuel gives consumers & particularâ€"interest in the question. As all the anthracite coal used in Or tario comes from Pennsylvania it i interesting to note the proceedings oi the American Government regarding the industry from which our supply is derived. If every one of the country‘s 20, 000,000 homes wastes, on an average, enly one goodâ€"sized slice of bread a day, weighing about 1 ounce and conâ€" taining almost threcfourths of &n ounce of flour, the country is throwâ€" ing away daily over 14,000,000 ounces of flourâ€" over 8$75,000 pounds â€" 0o: enough flour for more than 1,000,000 oneâ€"pound loaves of bread a day. At this rate there would be a yearly waste of over 319.000,000 pounds otf flour â€" 1,500.000 barreis of flour â€" enough to make 365,000,000 loaves.

It will be noticed that the above refers to overseas forces only. It is possible that men from eighteen to twenty will be taken for the home de fence forces. ’ "In comnection, with the operation of the Government measure for com pulsory Ahilitary service, the question 1s to what should be "the minimum age for such service has been no‘ the least difficult of sbution.

As a consequence it has for some time been the practice to retain in England aif under the age of nineteen, thus in effect raising to that minimum the age of those who face the actual ordeal.> There are many who believe it would be wis dom to place still higher the age at which our soldiers should be called upon to serve. The United States bill recontly passed fixes the mini nfum age in that country at twentyâ€" one years. Merchants, through lhe‘lr advertis ing, may keep the people heartened and optimistic.

In their renewal of their offensive the Italians received valuable aid from some of the nine British batteries which have hauled their big guns down to the isonzo front to help in the efforts aimed at the conquest of Trieste, Austria‘s big seaport on the Adriatic. i Not alone were the Italians sucâ€" cessful in capturing. numerous points of vantage, but more than nine thousâ€" and Austrian prisoners, including offâ€" cers in excess of three hundred. The Austrians are declared to have been taken completely by surprise by the sudden onslaught of the Italians, who, to divert attention from the southern end of the Isonzo line, had struck a rard blow to the north.
