100000 Bags of Coffee
May Be COrnered in Brazil

Rio Janeiro. Nov. 24.-The financiers
and officials of Brazil are considering
the possibility that 10000 900 bags Of the
new crop of coffee may have to be
held, and are devising proper means to
handle the situation, so that prices may
not fall to ruinously low point. 1t
seems to have been determined that
the surplus should be handled through
a system OF government warehouses,
which would SO control the entire crop
that large quantities would not be
dumped on the market at any one
time.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
(By Mabel Kinney Hall

We thank Thee, Lord, our thanks but half expressed
nation hun,bly bowling meath the strain
We thank Thee for the priceless gift of pain
That we are counted worthy of the test.
We thank Thee for this chance to do our best
To sacrifice our all and not complain,
To serve with hands new-cleansed from selfish stain
Too deep for words thanks but half expressed
Oh, Father, grant us strength to give and do!
Oh, grant us power to serve the crisis through!
Oh, teach us now to know true brotherhood
To share in throbbing pain, in coming good!
And when this hour Of Christening shall cease,
Oh, Father, grant us grace to live in peace!

CHILDREN MAKE
CHICKEN HOUSE
Hawthorne School Takes An
other Step Forward in
Modern Education.
TO LEARN ECONOMICS
Every Scholar to Be Taught
Practical Problems in
This Manner.

Establishing Well defined lead over
in putting to practical test the watch
word of modern education. which is
school of Missoula has begun an en-
terprise which combines manual train
ing, mathematics. economics and poul-
try raising all'in one.
The little red arithmetic has been
showed to one side and the volumes on
the supply and demand and cost of
living have been discarded and no
longer will school children have to pur-
sue these studies in stuffy classroom,
for their studies have been transport
ed to the outdoors with an opportunity
for individual success.
All this will come to pass within the
next few weeks. when the boys i'm the
manual training department of the
Hawthorne school finish their model
chicken house and the first poultry is
housed init for the winter, to be cared
for along scientific lines by the school
children.
Not only are the boys in manual
training going to have a hand in this
innovation Of modern education. but
,, every pupil In the school, the girls in
:! cluded. Here is how the scheme is
going to work out:
Boys Build House.
The boys Of the manual training
class at the school have built model
chicken house upon the school
ground. The plan was drawn by Les
ter c. Ennis. superintendent Of manual
training in the Mssoula schools The
building is II feet by IA feet in area,
divided into two pens of IA by feet.
1t is single boarded with lining of
tar paper AS part Of their class work
the boys learned the form and right
placing of beams, joists, studding,
rafters, stills and prepared roofing
They worked one hour week 70,
about five weeks, measuring, saving
and hammering. They have placed
four windows and two doors and they
will install trap nests and an auto
matte feeder. 1t Is busy and a happy
class that has been learning by doing;
and that has now model chicken
house to show for the educational pro-
cess. It Is expected that the amount
Of $50 that was appropriated by the
school board for the building will b,
many times repaid by the valuable
training and the advance in methods
gained. The new building is only the
first step in this course of training.

TO WOMEN

Bogus face lotions have been found
on sale in South Dakota by G. G.
Frary, state food and drug commits
sioncr, whose Office is located at the
University of South Dakota.
In a small own in the western part
of the state a woman had been SELLING
a face cream and eyebrow darkener.
She demonstrated her cream with a
face massage. Judging from her sales
She knew the few strokes necessary
for this performance. The label said
the cream was guaranteed to bleach
the skin and Danish any discoloration.
One Of the prospective customers at
once saw a chance to get rid of her
freckles and after a massage pur-
chased a jar. Recalling the scare,
caused by the distribution of the poi
onous court plasters, she became ratI-
err skeptical. Knowing that a cream
would have to contain rather harsa
properties, in order to live up to the
label, she took the cream to a dru2
gist. The druggist instructed her 10
send the same 10 the state chemisi.
Upon examination, Mr.. Frary found II
to contain white vaseline with a small
per cent of perfume. The eyebTo"
cream consisted Of charcoal and
enough parafne to make If stick. A
great many similar toilet articles are
being sold throughout the state. Tn"
law does not cover these offenses IN
less the label makes a claim of medic
inal properties. Agents selling face
lotions containing statements of that
kind will be located and prosecuted.

UNCLE SAM NEEDS HELP

Now that Uncle Sam has the young
men of the country in training for mil
itary service, he finds that he needs
10000 typewriter operators and ste
nographers and typewriters, both men
and women, for the departments at
Washington. The civil service com
mission has notified all of its 5000
boards Of examiners that they should
put forth their best efforts to secure
these urgently needed workers. While
examinations are now held weekly in
$50 cities, the commission states that
arrangements will be made to have
an examination held at any accessible
place where a small class of appli-
cants can be secured. The entrance
salaries range from 81, 900 to $1,000
a year. Promotion is reasonably
rapid to those whose services prove
satisfactory. No appointments can
be made to these or other positions
In the federal classified civil service
unless authorized by the civil service
commission under the civil service
law. Any information to the contrary
is unauthorized. This is a splendid
opportunity to serve your country.
Full information may be secured
from the secretary of the board of
civil service examiners at the post
office in this city.

YOUNG MEN WANTED

The War Department wants thi-
state to furnish 900 men of military
age-21 to 81 years, who can qually
as telegraphers in the Signal Corp
of the L. S. army. The nature of th'-
selective service calls for men of good
character and ability. Only a few
weeks of honest study will equip the
average person to pass in the sigma
Corps service. School in telegraphy
are now being opened where, at slight
expense, you can secure competent in

The food control legislation con
iers power on the president to fly
prices on coal and if necessary to
buy and sell, and therefore to fix
prices on wheat, -four, meal, beans
and potatoes. These are the only ar
ticles over which the president is Civ.
en- the price fixing power.
n president is given power to Ii.
cense any business Of the country
where the business transacted annu.
ally exceeds 800, 600. The power un
der such license is conferred to regu.
late profits in any line of business
put not to fix prices. Authority is
given over fertilizer and agricultural
implements under the license provi-
sion but the power to fix the prices is
not conferred-only the power to reg
ulate profits.
The question is often raised in re-
gard to the price of live stock, meats,
corn, etc. The food administration
acting for the president can not under
the present law fix prices on these
things because the authority to do
that Is not conferred. What the next
congress might do in that line is not
known, but until congress does act
no me has the power to fix prices on
any commodity except as stated
above.
The regulation of profits, which
may be done now in any line of bust
ness, is an entirely different thing
from the fixing of positive prices. 1t
will eliminate speculation but it will
not prevent high prices If they are
due TO causes other than speculation.

FIXING PRICES

There has been much discussion
about what prices the Food Admins
tration can fix. Prices have been fixed
on coal and wheat by authority con-
ferred by the food control legislation.
Prices have also been fixed on iron
and its products but not under the
food control law. This was done by
agreement with the iron and steel in
dustries and is voluntary on their
part.
