Schools Aid Thrift
Stamp Sale

The interest shown in the war thrift
stamps and war savings stamps by the
teachers and pupils in schools through
out the State is striking evidence of
their patriotism. Encouraging reports
are being received by J. l.. Bond State
superintendent of public instruction,
from many counties. In one school all
of the 4S high school students have
bought thrift stamps. The thrift
stamps only cost twenty-five cents
each. and are therefore within easy
reach of children az we'll as adults. If
each child in the United States pur-
chased at least one thrift stamp. il
would raise quite a sum to help finance
the war. Arkansas Democrat.

which he organized and administered the relief work in
Belgium when that country ravaged by the German
armies He has Just been offered by President Wilson

OF the man and his views, the Pasadena Star News
says:
Herbert c. Hoover talks about food control with re-
reshmg common sense. He is not an hyserical aarmst
And yet he points out, vigorously, that if wasteuness
should prevail and if boarding of and speculation in
foodsufs should continue uncurbed this country would
be brought to distressing plight and the powers
would be crippled by not getting the foodstufs
from this country which they acutely need. The
United States needs intelligent rigorous food control for
two To regulate prices and increase the sur
plus.
Mr. Hoover holds that wheat and flour much too
hlgh-hat the astounding prices not due to famine
conditions but to speculative greed Prices could be cut
81 per cent he asserts and still every legitimate interest
concerned make fair profit.
Mr. Hoover thus outlined food conditions in a state
ment to the Associated Press:
- mere IS absolutely occasion for food panic in
this country any justification foroura geous n
less the opposition of special interests defeats the pres
dent in obtaining the necessary powers to control the
nations food fully and adequately" ~

MARKET IS UNEASY
PRICES ON DOWN GRADE
Developments Accentuate
Rather Than Lessen Feel
ing Of Unrest

New York, April l0-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said;
News developments over night were
OF a character somewhat to aceentuate
rather than lessen the feeling of un-
certainty in securities and money mar
ket circles.
Wall Street is concerned over the
Forthcoming government bond issue.
Bankers are practically unanimous in
believing it would be unwise to attempt
to float such huge issue in lump
sum at the 315 per cent proposed
There is strong sentiment in favor
of keeping proceeds of the bond sale
in the banks and employing paper foi
their use.
The banking fraternity is opposed tt
heavy industrial taxation in raising
other funds needed.
Trading was moderately active but
the course of prices was irregular.
Both Union Pacific and Reading sold
up more than two points.
The Industrial list was narrowly ir
regular at the opening, with a tenden'
cy to weakness in the early session
There was a rally at mid day to nea!
the Monday closing level, after which
prices again declined irregularly Unit
ed States Steel sold below 100 before
the tonnage statement This was re-
garded as a particularly good showing
In the latter movements steel ruled be
tween 1922 and 10.
The copper groups were steady save
for weakness in Utah.
