for every other cereal SO as to prevent
substitution.
Call the elevator owners of the coun-
try together and say to them:
.sThe farmers are willing to give
you wheat at $1.50. The government
will arrange to loan you money nee
essary to pay the price and relieve
you of going to the Chicago auction
market to protect yourself
Call the millers together and tell
them the elevators have wheat at a
basic price to the farmer. to which
they add legitimate charge agreed
upon for storage, grading and the
like, and are now ready to sell it to
the miller at price to be stipulated.
The miller will then be urged to
mill straight -four and to agree on
a fixed charge for so doing SO that
the consumer will get the flour at
practically at Nat rate with some yari-
alton for transportation.
VIII Protect Consumer.
Following the. s1.5o wheat through
this course, H9sver says, would re-
suit in -four to the consumer at $3.50
or 81 barrel about one-ha1f the
present price
In ots Hoover has
led, here lies the protection of the
consumer, and at the same time pro-
lection and 1ndacement to the farmer
and the eliminati ion Of speculation
A similar course would be pursued
along the channels Of produce deveI-
.upment in other necessaries Many
elevator men have already responded
to the idea and will be prepared to
start work along this line as soon as
congress creates the penalty measures
which will eliminate the possibility of
Aslackers."

The Indian ToneLadder

Will you permit a few supple
mentary remarks to your interesting
editorial article on THE Singers of
Scales?
The seven note scale was invented
in India. The very word gamut is de-
rived from the Sanscrit grama; that is,
aggregate" of tones. The ancient
Hindoo pictorially referred to the sec
ond note as the strong bull (rish-
abha). to the fourth as middle
(madhya), to the next as fifth" (pan-
chama), and so on. Native musicians
ultimately .monosyllabiZed the seven
long names; notes, 2, 4, . were known
as ri, ma. pa.
The Persians adopted the Indian ga
NUT. but assigned ma" and pa each
to the next lower place. Moreover,
they made slight phonetic changes, ri
became re with them, and pa be-
came ia Hence, IRE, mi, ia" are
Persian names of notes ., 3, in the
tone ladder.
The Indo- Iranian scale then migrat-
cd to the medieval Arabs, who were
profusely gifted in every art ana
science. In the beginning of the elev-
enth century Guido, the maestro OF
musical Arezzo, introduced the eastern
scale to Europe, where the old San
scrit monosyllables. with slight alter
ations, are still in use and whence ut,

Dingey's Winter Home

ny OW to tell the truth. Dingey
N had not thought about finding
\ a new home for the winter.
So when Old Man Owl asked him
where he was going to stay he was
taken quite unawares. But he would
not have admitted such . thing
dear me, no! He few quickly away

owls finding out the real state of

son, they are far too wise for that!
Dingey had been eating himself fat
for some weeks and he was now nice
and plump, SO he could easily live
through the cold days when no food
was to b obtained.
But he had to admit that he had
not thought about where he should
live during the cold. Perhaps that
was due to the fact that he consid-
ered himself so settled and comfort
able in the log. and to tho fact that
the presence of his kindly cousins,
the Tittle-mouse couple, gave him .
sense of security in the log. Now
that Old Man Owl called his atten-
ton to the matter. he had to admit
that the old log was far from a per-
feet winter home.
For one thing, 1t was too low down.
When the heavy SHOWS came the
opening might be entirely covered
for days. A place more easy Of access
would be better. He decided to ex-
plore at once.
Over the garden he darted back
and forth. He even thought OF the
barn but the doors were shut and
locked so he could not get In. How
he did hunt! And to make bad
matter worse, the norm wind howled
and blew as much as to say, Better
hurry! Better hurry! Winter is
here! Better hurry!"
Finally an extra hard puff blew the
bat away from the garden and to-
ward the creek ON the edge of town.

This is a fight to the death be-
tween organized labor and big bust
ness and its allies, such as the Illinois
Manufacturers assn and the En-
plOyeTs' assn, operating under the
name of the Chicago Public School
league. Big Business is struggling
to crush democracy from our school
system. Labor wants courageous
citizens trained in our schools, so
that the poor boy has really an equal
chance with the rich boy.
THE rules Of the council provide
for the appointments to be deferred
one week. On June 80, 1916, page
200 of the proceedings, the council
ordered the committee on schools to
ask certain questions of candidates
for school board members before vot-
ing on concurrence in the mayors
appointments, and organized labor
confidently expects each alderman
who believes in rule by the>peOple to
see that concurrence in the mayors
school appointees is delayed as the
rule provides, and that the questions
are put to the candidates before the
aldermen vote on them"
If Loeb is confirmed today it will
be only through an alliance of Mayor
Thompson and Roger Sullivan, with
the express aim of destroying the
Teachers Federation. The "A Re
publican aldermen, even if Mayor
Thompson could line them up sOlidly
for Jake Loeb, would not be enough
to confirm the appointment. Con-
firmatiOn must come from the 43
Democrats of the council Only out
of this group can the Sc votes neces-
sary for confirmation be obtained
Roger SuIlivan's council leaders
are said to be leaning toward sup
port of the mayor. Some of the Sui
Ivan aldermen, however, recognize
they are playing with a dangerous
fire. To vote for Jake Loeb now

John Fitzpatrick and Sec'y Ed Mock
els of the Chicago Federation of La
Dor and reads:
Dear Alderman: We are informed
that fight is to be made on organ
lied labor at the first meeting Of the
new council on MOndOy, April %, by
an attempt to secure the cOnfrma-
ton Of the name of Jacob NJ. Loeb
as member of the board of education
md ten others.
The plan is to place Mr.. LOeb's
name with these others before the
new council prior to adoption Of the
rule and ask for imemdiate cOnfrma-
ion. By this trick they avoid having
to suspend the rules, which requires
4 twO-thiTds vote.
Jacob Loeb, the day after the SUI
pTeme court upheld the Loeb anti
union rule, made this statement in
the Chicago Tribune:
"'This is the happest day of my
life. Such a decision is worth max
ing a long fight for. There will be

To-day union carpenters, foundry
men, electricians, plumbers, printers
and others carrying union cards are
teaching the boys in the Lane and
Crane public trade and technical
schools. Under the Loeb rule not one
Of these men can lawfully teach. If
the appointment Of Jacob Loeb is
confirmed by the city council it will
mean the council will approve the

Farmers Urged
To Sow Wheat
AS War Measure
Speeding Up Food Produc
ton Best Preparedness
Plan, Says Official

Washington. March 26.-Government
officials look upon the speeding up Of
the foodstuffs production in the United
States as one of the most important
means of assisting in the war against
Germany, should the United States
take an active part.
"Of the most important of two things
th..t this country could do for its allies
in case of namely, to finance and
to feed them-perhaps the more impor-
tant is 10 maintain a steady flow Of
foodstuffs 10 their shores says an au-
thorized statement by Assistant Seere-
tary Vrooman Of the Department Of
Agriculture.
Ii looks, the statement adds, as
though it would be good business
stroke for the farmer this spring 10
SOW his normal oats acreage 70 spring
wheat. and "it is certain that u would
lie a valuable step in the direction or
national agricultural preparedness
Since the policy of stimulating food
production would have 10 be supple
mented by a policy guaranteeing the
farmer against loss due TO possible
Overproduct on. the department holds
that Congress alone can deal with this
question effectively, although the de-
partment car do something toward
speeding up production within certain
economic limits.
