OF the Associated Press. The food
question in France is regarded as very
serious. All the measures thus far
taken have failed to 9 positively
the required supply Of bread to carry
the country over to the next wheat
crop, and the government has Just
decided in a special cabinet meeting
to require important sacrifices.
No more pastry and no more crack
ers or biscuits will be made, except
for the army, after a date still to be
fixed. Nc more highly refined flour
will be tolerated. Every miller will be
obliged to leave a greater percentage
Of bran in his output, and eventually
cd with the wheat flour to eke out the
supply. .r
The experiences Of the past year in
France have shown the impossibility
Of influencing economic conditions by
decree. The maximum selling price Of
wheat was fixed at q price equivalent
to $1.S5 a bushel, in order to avoid
increase In the cost of bread. The
result was a great decrease In wheat
acreage; the farmers preferred to SOW
ats and barley that were not subject
prices than wheat.
The retail price Of butter on the
Paris market was fixed at the equiva-
lent Of SO cents a pound. Immediately
the receipts fell from forty-two tons
to less than nine tons a day. The but
ter went to the British front where
it readily brought 80 cents a pound.
Maurice Viollette, removed the limi-
tation and more butter arrived, but
the price went up to q dollar a pound
at retail.
Most persons interested in the ques-
ton, among them such writer's as Sem

rotary of war, now are OF the opinion
that neither prices nor supplies a

From all quarters come demands

The wheat crop of 1917, according
to estimates gathered by Senator
Cheron, will be 100000 bushels
short Of that Of 1915. To make up this
shortage it is proposed to increase to

Timely death.
Death is ever a shock to the
beloved of our own household.
but the death of a young mother,
SO gentle and so joyous, in the
sprlngtime of life, when her own
little ones need her most, when
her very life promises to much
of helpfulness, and Joy to them
and to all her household, is one
of the saddest incidents of life.
In this case it seems especially
so. This young mother was so
bouyant of spirit, so happy and
hopeful in her home life, so gen
tie and helpful to her husband. so
universally beloved and respected
of all who knew her that it is all
most more than flesh can stand to
part with her. She was ever the,
happfest one of every circle in
which she happened to be, as she
was ever the light and Joy of her
childhood home, so she was the
life and light of her own little
family. She was all the world
to her devoted husband, and as a
mlnistering angel to her three lit
tie girls. The home life of the
family was ideal. Nothing seemed
to darken the billowy hours of
JOY that flowed over and around
them from day to day, till this
past fall, when she fell i'll and
was taken to the hospital. On her
return the children became i'll,
one after another. All through
the winter they were her con
slant care, till worn with watch
ing she fell i'll with peritonitis.
From the first it was seen there
was scarce a hope for her recov-.
cry. She found rest only in the
grave. All that human skill OF
human sympathy availed nothing.

sABEs BURIED " cAvEIn.

To, the mothers of Missouri
Valley, one of the saddest acci-
dents in the history of the town
was the death of little Lester
Jones, aged 5, son of w. A. Jones
who works at the elevator, and of
Phillip Moriarity, aged 4, twin
son Of James Moriarity, shop
man, grandson of Alex Tamisiea
|of Omaha, while at play in the
streets on Huron east of Eighth,
last Saturday evening.
1t seems Mrs. Moriarity had
gone to Omaha with the twin girl
for days visit with her mother
and left the little boy at home, a
proper enough proceeding. Dur
ing the forenoon the boy Phillip
had Joined Lester Jones and the
two had resorted to a little cave
| by the side of the bank where they
went to play. Someone had prob
ably placed fire in the pit. Evi-
IDENTIFY the two children were
playing by the fire when a cavein
covered them only a few inches
deep, but smothered them to
death, some time in the forenoon,
as they were last seen palying
about there near 10 a. m. Moth
ing more was thought of them till
|evening, when a search failing to
locate them. The fire bell
counded the call for help and the
search was begun. Soon a neigh
boring girl recalled seeing them
there and on reaching the spot
lshe soon discovered a little hand
Iprotruding through the dirt and
they were dug out. Phillip had
evidently been pushed over into
the fire, as his face was scorched.
The grief-stricken mother was
called and the burial of the hoy
was made on Monday. The little
Jones boy was buried Monday.
No reasoning can assuage the
grief of the paretns. 1t was only
one Of those unfathomable mys-
teries. Why and how. Sad be-
yond expression. but pity. 'Tis,

can do is to say, "Thy will be

FLAG RAISING.

An immense throng was out
last night to witness the flag
raising ceremonies in Dog
Town" A platform had been
erected in front of the Newton
lumber office and the street
roped off at Third and Second
streets, SO, the crowd had plenty
OF room. Long before eight
O'Clock. the streets were filled
with people waiting for the cere-
monies and when the band started
with the opening numbers. stand
ing room was at a premium
within the speakers voice.
Sam'l Holmes, in few we'll
chosen words, introduced Mayor
Prather, who gave an interesting
and instructive five-minute talk.
and then introduced A. III. Sniff.
who delivered one of the best
speeches of his career. That he
was wrapped up in his subject
could plainly be seen, and when
he asked those in the audience TO
raise their hands who would fight
for their country if the occasion
demanded, every male hand i'm
the large audience was raised
amid cheers and shouting. The
government need not fear for the
lack of men when it comes to
shoW-d down, for there is not one
true American in the country hui
would gladly lay down his life for
the principles of freedom as en-
bodied in our wonderful democ-
racy. Had the German war lords
been within hearing as the beau
tifAll folds of the stars and stripes
were unfurled to the breeze and
could have heard the mighty
cheer that went up, they would
not class America as weakling
and unable to affect any material
difference in the war now Being
waged. The meeting closed with
"a prayer by Rev. Thomas. who
sought Divine guidance in our.
present difficulties.
AS a whole the occasion was
one which will long remain in the
memory of all those4present and
will do a great deal toward ce-
menting the different nationalit-
les represented in the population
of a town like this into solidi-
fled community ready to back the
government in any righteous un-
.dertakinH that may come before
it.
A great deal Of the success Of
the occasion is due to the inde-
fatigable work of Mrs. Louis
Goodrich, who has. worked on
the project for some time and
personally solicited most Of the
funds to purchase the beautiful
flag.

Temperature being below the

the weather was favorable for
field work, which progressed
rapidly. Seeding of spring wheat,

that not only fall wheat, clover

of wheat is now placed as low as

CHILDREN CRUSHED sY CAVE

The city of. Missouri Valley was
thoroughly alarmed Saturday
evening about 1880, when the fire
bell rang and people gathered to
find two little boys. We're missing,
Phillip, aged 4 last December,
one OF the twins Of Mr.: and Mrs,
james Moriarity, and Eeslie, aged
3. 8, also a i twin, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Jones Of Seaton-
vile, had probably been attracted
from the Moriarity home in the
Seaton row about 9 O'Clock in the
morning by a bonfire over back
of the c. R. Stout home, where
the Misses Stout We're burning
trash off their tennis court. The
children played around the court
until II O'clock, when they dis
appeared. About 1880 Mrs. Evan
Williams saw the little boys
playing over near the cave. At
noon Richard Moriarity, brother
of Phillip, started searching for
them and being unable to find
them call was made to outside
help shortly after Z O'Clock. .
TX About $500 O'Clock Charles
Stout thought of looking in and
around the cave and discovered a
pile of newly fallen dirt. He COM
smenced digging at once and soon
the shovel struck one of the lit-
tie lads arms, and Mr.. Stout then
started to push away the dirt
with his hands, and found them.
They were covered by about 15
or 18 inches of dirt, just as near
to each other as they could be,
holding hands. Help was imme-
diately called and the bodies TAX
en- to their homes. Everything
was done that was possible, but
the children were SO crushed in
Sternally that death had been most
likely almost instaneous.
Mrs. Moriarity, the mother OF
Philip, was in Omaha at the time
with Eileen, the other twin, for
an over Sunday visit, Richard and
Phillip remaining at home with
their father, who was at work in
the machine shops.
# One particularly striking coin
cidence is that these little lads
came into the world with COM
nanion and with a companion.
they were taken out of it.
The funeral of Phillip was.
held from the home yesterday
afternoon, with burial i'm Mt.
Carmel, and Leslie's funeral was
held today from the Baptist
church. He was laid to rest in.
the cemetery at Old Town.
4 This is one: of the saddest
events that has occurred in our
city for some time andathe entire
community extend thhf deepest
sympathy to these berraved fam
lilies in their deep hSnS of sor-,

7clared he could, drive a motor

were number of doubling Thorn

ceived the idea of demonstrating
his ability to the d is. Taking a
motorcycle out. of the. shop he
got bravely OH and started off up
the street before the spectators
fully realized that he was ready
and, as he looked back his face
was wreathed in a II told you So
smile. Mr.. Foote rather enjoyed
the novelty of riding a motorcycle
as it had been some time since he
had enjoyed the pleasure, but he
soon realized that he had work
to do and<could not spend all of
his time galavanting around
town, and headed toward the gar

either had forgotten how to stop

was full of gas and he could not
ride until the gas gave. out, so
he decided that his only hope of
freedom and the pursuit Of his
BUSINESS was to jump for liberty.
so jump he did, and landed among
a line of car parked against the
curb. He sat where he landed
for a short time until he could
fake stock and see if he was all
together and finding there were
no parts missing he got up, but
the movement was at consider
able exertion on his part and not
without a tWinge of pain as the
different parts came into action.
Today he is hobbling along as
though he had a flat tire and his
walk looks like two of his four
cylinders were missing badly. He
has sworn never again.
