THE LATE RISE IN FOOD PRICES

Goodwin's Weekly. Some of the
advances that have been made in
the prices for food since the Euro
pean war started. are simply Grim
NAL And they are as illogical a
criminal The war has not made any
new demand. rather il has for the
present at least killed what demand
there was from abroad Look al
the advance in -four and bacon for
instance Neither can be sent away.
Why should either be increased ir

cent On lemons What IS that for >
All We get from Europe come from
Messina and a few perhaps from
southern Spain. but neither Italy nor
Spain are in the war. and all Central
America and the West Indies have
unobstructed trade.
Our country is groaning under its
load of grain and vegetables What
market we had for them abroad is
closed against US. but every morn
ing we read that one or another. be
cause of the war. has been advanced
in price 10. Is. 20 or 25 per cent. II
is not the producers that do this.
but the middle men. Contemplating
it, there is but one conclusion. which
Is that things which need reinforce
ment most in this country are the
penitentiaries. If about one thous-
and middle men could be given
clothing and food in those institu-
tons the people outside would live
cheaper. and the middle men would
have a much needed rest.
President Wilson wants, if neces-
sary. some special Legislation on this
subject
Why not arrest a few of them and
try them on a charge of conspiring
to carry on a genuine holdup bust
ness against the public?

IN H DARK

All correspondents have been .,
dered out of Belgium under pain a.
death. Thus the censorship shutsos
the greatest drama of the yes fro,
the world. Not until one side or H.
other is ready to ring up the curta;r
on the second act will We know bo.
il fares with the allies and the C,ar
mans. Occasional flashes will reveal
10 US a slaughterous scene here and
there. but we will get no definite
idea of what is now in progress until
long after the denouement has been
reached.
The increased rigor of the censor.
ship can be viewed in two lights, saws
the Salt Lake Tribune. We have
some justification for believing that
the allies already have been badly
beaten in Belgium and are r~etiringto
a new line of defense. The more
probable theory is that the allies.
while roughly handled by the Ger
mans in various engagements. have
not yet committed themselves to
decisive battle. and are carrying out
a prearranged plan which is about TO
attain its elimination. In order 10
shut off from their enemy every pos
sible source of information that can
be controlled. the allies have expelled
the correspondents. This action has
another advantage to the allies. II
will prevent their own people from
becoming alarmed unnecessarily by
the abandonment of important cities
like Brussels.
When the censorship is lifted the
English and French may learn that
all Of Belgium has been abandoned
except the fortresses of Antwerp and
Namur. and that the allies have fallen
back to the fortreSSes along the bor-
der from Luxembourg to Lille. These
fortresses include Longwy. Mont
medy. Sedan, Mezieres. Givet. Hir-
son. Maubeuge and Lille. The Ger
man plan of investing a fortified
town and moving forward must then
cease. 1t may be possible to invest
: Namur and Antwerp and proceed
onward to the border. but once at
the border the Germans will be held
up for some weeks at least, and be
under the necessity of besieging sew
eral of the Notifications and captur-
ing them before another advance can
be made. This should occupy enough
time to bring the Russians into ac-
ton on the eastern boundaries OF
Austria and Germany. At the same
time il will give the French forces
operating in Alsace and Lorraine OPP
portunity to develop their operations
and besiege fortified places, if such
should be their object.
The fact that the French and Eng
fish Mediterranean fleets assisted the
Montenegrins in bombarding the
Austrian fortification at Cattaro,
may have considerable significance.
Ii is quite within the realm of posi-
bility that the allies may land an ex'
peditionary force in Dalmatia and
make an incursion into Bosnia and
Herzegovina. thus going to the
rescue Of Servians and creating 4
diversion which may make it neces
sary for Austria to withdraw som'
of her troops from Alsace and Lor'
raine. where they are assisting the
Germans.

AUTOMOBILE FUNDS
TURNED TO COUNTIES

Bismarck, April 4.-The first dis
tribution to the counties Of the state
out Of the motor vehicle license fund
Of 1914 was made April LIST by Thomas
Hall, Secretary Of State. During the
three months that the distribution
covers, 5,519 automobiles and 255 mo-
torcycles were licensed. Out Of the
$17,322.O0 received for licenses $l3,-
90S.6O was distributed for the i'm
provement Of county roads; the bal
ance, $3,413.40, has been put aside
for the cost Of tags, postage, clerk
hire, etc. Out Of the $l3,9O8.6O,
Dickey county has received $356.8O
for 127 automobiles and 20 motor
cycles. The money coming this early
makes it available for use in improv-
ing our country roads early in the
season. Distributions Of this motor
vehicle fund will be made monthly
hereafter.
The chiefs Of police Of fifty cities
and the county commissioners of
every county in the state have been
asked for their earnest cooperation in
the enforcement Of the motor vehicle
license law. It is misdemeanor to
operate a motor vehicle without tag.
Mr.. Hall does not want the law to be
regarded as q dead letter, for its en-
forcement means not only safety to
the pubic, but the improvement of oul
country roads as we'll. Judging from
last years figures there are no less
than 5000 unlicensed motor vehicles
in this state at this time.

IN the largest towns in the county 1t
oil times This serum will be the best
] know how to obtain. It will be fur
r;shed at cost.
Third. 1mmunise them with this
serum only. Get vour veterinarian to
d" :t for you.
Fourth. Do not delay If you are
sure it is cholera. The sooner the
serum is used the hettcr i. you have
cholera in the herl. Not more than
two days should p..:s befor. this is
done, considering the serum can be
obtained close at l.an.l.
Some Of the Dcn'ts:
First. Do not immuiizc your hogs
with the serum and virus before you
have any cholera in your herd, or virus
at any time. Reason: the chances
are too great that the serum may not
be good or potent and the virus will
kill your hogs. Un; ;,rtuna.cly there
is much Of the seeam sold that is not
good. Another reaso'. wherever any
Of the virus may be dropped it leaves
millions Of germs to spread the dis
ease.
Second. Do not buy serum from
strangers or from anyone unless you
have investigated the merits Of the
serum they handle. Even then the
danger of getting poor serum is great
enough.
Third. Do not listen to everyone's
advice who tell you how to treat your
hogs for cholera They think they
know but seldom do.
Fourth. DO not fail to practice pre-.
ventative methods such as sanitation
carry the cholera germs from youl
neighbor's farm lot, then you may
not be bothered with cholera.
Cut these instructions out and mir
them where you can refer to then
when you wish to do so.

My Plan to Help Combat Hog Cholera
There is no serious reason for being
greatly alarmed about hog cholera he
ing very prevalent in the county this

cases, purple spots appearing on un-

coming spotted with ulcers in adj
vanced stages of the disease.

ZONE HEALTHY HAPPY FAMILY
Is WORTH MANY BONDS"

The following editorial from the
Chicago Evening American was in
spired by the complaint of a financial
writer that the large investment in
automobiles was accountable for the
weak sales Of industrial stocks. 1t is
well worth filing. The American says:
First. DOES the United States
spel@ rs much as seven hundred and
fifty millions year for automobiles
We HOPE SO, but we are not sure.
Second, can't this country afford
to spend on health, happiness and the
inspiring pleasure of motoring a small
part of what it spends on whisky and
tobacco?
Third, it was not the automobile
manufacturers who put the price of
New Haven from above two hundred
and big dividends to below one hum
dred and no dividends. Some widows
and orphans" wish they had put. their
New Haven stock into good auto
mobile. Second hand it would be worth
more than the New Haven today.
Fourth, since whisky costs much
more than motoring and since moto.-
ing discourages whisky drinkers
drivers must be sober-why not fight
whisky instead of automobiles? Make
the whisky fiend put his whisky money
into $500 bond" and let the motor
ist 60 fiying-that will be better for
the country.
Fifth, when you see a man with
the car that he can afford, big or lit
| tic, driving along a fine road with his
wife beside him, his mother and chill
dren in the tonncau-do you really
think he would be better, more USE
full citizen if he put that motor none J
into some bonds, and let his mother,
wife and children sit indoors with
their noses pressed against the glass
watching other motors go by?
Sixth, what apout life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness? Can't an
American citizen spend his money as
he likes-even if it does hurt the feel
ings of gentlemen in Wall street
whose business is selling watered
stocks and shady bonds?
"And, to drop the enumeration
which might go on to million, OBJ
serve these facts:
Zone healthy, happy family is worth
many bonds.
Seven hundred and fifty million
dollars means about a million auto
mobiles; that means about million
happy families.
"There are more and bigger divi-
dends drawn on happiness and health
than on any bonds that were ever
bought.

Test Your Ssed
Farmers, do you know how high .
termination per cent your seed grain
and corn possesses? Remember that
ill grain does not grow equally we'll
and often much Of it is low in germi-
nation power. It is but small chore
to test q sample Of all your different
kinds Of seed grain. Do it even II II
is rather near seeding time and get
other seed If it does not come up ia
standard.
BY all means do not forget the corn
It is absolutely essential to test your
seed corn, because it is very unreli-
able even though kept and dried in
the proper manner. Test several sam.
pies Of the whole at least. The eal
test, however, is the surest test.
In case you can not find time tt
ear test your corn and wish to have
It done, those Of you within easy reach
Of the Industrial School can get it done
for the cost of the labor involved
Prof. Hathaway agrees to test for oil
who may apply.
