(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 BERLIN, March 1O-The German military governor of Lodz has posted the maximum prices that are allowed to be charged there for the necessi- ties of life. The following specimens indicate that prices are not unduly high, so far as mere prices go: Veal 13 cents a pound, mutton IF, wheat flour S.17, rye four 5.6, and sauer- kraut 2.5. The meat prices are not half so high as at Berlin; but no men tion is made of how much provisions can be bought by the people of Lodz at the prices mentioned.

Washington.-Much has been said
and written since the European war
began as to military preparedness
of the United States. Organizations
whose purpose is to encourage prepar-
edness and to urge more liberal appro-
priations for the army and navy have
been organized in all parts OF the
country The army and the navy have
been thoroughly studied in recent
months, and the president is now busy
with their problems; but what of the
great civilian army, then, of military
age between eighteen and forty-four
years, of whom according to the re-
ports Of state adjutant generals on file
in Washington, there are nearly IT,
100000. OF this total, as great almost
as the total of all the armies now
fighting in Europe, only sixty-one hun
dredths of one per cent are in tho
militia of the various states, which
means that more than 16,S00,000 are
men practically without military train
ing
To get an idea of the situation,
New York Times representative was
permitted a few days ago to read
some of the government reports on
the condition of the militia. The re-
suit was startling. II more than a
score of states there is no field ar
tillery of any sort, and in the whole
country there are fewer than 40 off,
GERS of ordnance. In 35 states there
are no organizations trained for coast
artillery, "a have no cavalry, a large
majority are without signal troops,
while the total force of organized en-
gineers, officers and men, totals less
than 1900 for the entire country. One
state, Nevada, is without militia organ
ization of any kind.
In the table that follows, which
gives the number Of officers and en-
listed men of all arms in the National
Guard, the figures are from regu-
lar army inspectors, and appear in
the most recent report Of the divi-
sion Of militia affairs.

ing two little blue birds started to
build their nest in 1t. They were

from morning until shutdown, then
they would stay in the house at night.
This morning the two birds were out
in our sand pile The darkest one
(the male bird) wanted it's little mate
to eat bug, but she had feather in
her mouth and she wouldn't drop 1t.
l like the little house and think it

birds took it for their dwelling place.
Thanking you very much for the

A Kind Act
It was cold winter day. The snow
was falling fast, when an old lady was
walking slowly up a hill.
She had basket under each arm
and some more things In her hands.
She really had too much to carry and
besides walking up a hill this slippery
day.
Just then two boys came walking up
the hill pulling their sled.
Frank, one of the boys said, Oh, see
that poor old lady. Let us offer to
carry her things on our sled.
The boys asked her if they might and
the lady was very pleased>to think the
boys were so kind as to offer to carry
her things on their sled
She said. Yes you may, and thank
you very much.
When the boys had reached her home
she thanked them again and thought
they were very kind to her.
The boys went home and thought
they had done kind act.

Salt-A School Composition
By Iva Traul of r. r. 9

Dear Juniors:
I thought l would send you my COM
position on salt
Salt is found in Utah, Louisiana, Ne
vada, Kansas, California, Oklahoma,
Michigan and many other states in the
United States.
The United tSates exceeds every
other country in the world in the pro-
duction of salt, the annual output in
the United States being about 315,070
tons. 1t represents a value of $780,
900.
A large amount is exported to Can
ada Central America, Mexico and to
the Hawaiian Islands.
In the rainy seasons the lake basins
are supplied with large amount of
water, but during the dry weather
vast deposits Of salt are found near the
shore by evaporation of the water.
Canada has vast deposits Of salt, the
annual output there does not exceed
$4,000 barrels.
The salt of the market Is obtained by
evaporating or freezing the water
taken from the ocean or by mining in
beds of rock salt. In some regions it is
obtained from the water of saline
lakes, springs, and wells.
Brine springs result from rock salt
under the influence of the subterranean
stream.
There are two different kinds Of salt,
the rock salt and the table salt.
The rock salt is used to put up
meats, for cattle and horses.
In North America the elk, the bisons
and other wild animals obtained 1t from
salt ticks.
The table salt is used to season food.
Salt is also used for glazing coarse
pottery, in giving hardness to soaps,
for importing clearness to glass, and is
often used to put on icy sidewalks so
as to melt the ice.
AS my composition is getting long
will close hoping to see my story In
