Tells Editors Allies Needs
Will Mean Some Depri-
walton for Us
Calls Food Prices
In u. S. Too High
Daniels Asserts Administra-
ton Wants Comment
and Criticism

Washington, May 25.-Members Of
che Cabinet and others actively en-
sacod in tho conduct Of the war out
lined war aims and needs to-day to
meeting OF editors of technical and
trade publications. All emphasized the
magnitude Of the task facing the ma
lion and urged the publishers to sup
mort the government in the change
from peace TO war conditions in in
dustry.
The Cabinet officers and representa-
,ves Of the Council of National De-
fnee told in detail of what the council
is doing.
The food situation was presented by
Herbert c. Hoover, who will be named
food administrator. The country, he
said, faces war that probably will
last from two to five years, and only by
the most careful measures can the
United States give the Allies enough
foodstuffs TO keep them in the war so
continuously as to bring victory.
Hoover Tells of Food Problem
The Allies grain needs this year,
Nr. Hoover said, will amount to about
1000, 100000 bushels. America and
Canada, with good crops, can furnish
so per cent of this without depriva-
ton. but the Allies must have, he de-
elared. at least so per cent of their
needs to keep their efficiency at the
highest average.
THAT means some deprivation for
U.s." said Mr.. Hoover, "but we must fill
their needs"
Food prices in the United States are
TOO high, and if they continue at the
present level, he declared. wage read
justments must come or the working
man cannot live. The first thing for
the food administration TO accomplish,
Mr. Hoover added. is price stability,
rot only for this country. but for the
Allies. Fixing maximum prices had
failed abroad. and would fail here, and
he Administration must seek TO repair
the broken chain of distribution, Mr.
Hoover said.

Lane Explains War Aims

Secretary Lane set forth the pur-
poses of the United States in entering
the war.
I'VE are fighting feudalism," he de-
clared. 1.-THE German ruler is willing
to go TO any length to see feudaistic
system established. The fend of war
himself would not stand for what the
Germans have done in the last two
years. Our interest as a nation and as
a democratic people is involved in the
war. The power that would do things
that have been done would, if England
we're conquered, demand Canada, and
we would live in haunting fear the rest
Of our lives.
"Put it in your editorials that Amer
lea is fighting for something real, that
we do not want TO go back to where one
man can enforce his will on 100,000,000
people and where man in khaki could
be the master Of the fortunes of this

Baker Predicts Big Changes


Secretary Baker declared the out
come of this war would show whether
the world really is progressing.
I'VE are fighting" he said, against
an impossible philosophy, which has
been founded on industrial ambition
and aspiration. The imperial mind has
been so obsessed with the idea of in
dustrial supremacy that it has lost its
sense of moral standards"
Every resource of the Allies, Mr..
Baker said, was near exhaustion when
the United States entered the war.
There is no way to establish permanent
peace. he declared, except through ex-
ereise Of the superior power of the
United States. In mobilizing every re-
source. said he. profound industrial
changes were sure to come, and the
help Of the publications was needed to
prepare people for the change.
Daniels Asks for Criticism
Secretary Daniels asked the editors
TO get il into the hearts of business
men that il is crime TO make more
out Of the war than "A normal profit"
The press. he said, is responsible for
letting the people know everything
about the government, and the spirit
OF the Administration is that comment
and criticism are the very life Of a
democracy"
The purpose Of the export limita-
tons and trading with the enemy bills
we're explained by Secretary Redheld,
who said the measures were necessary
as a protection for the country's com
merce and resources.
The governments attitude toward
labor was discussed by Secretary val
son. No changes in wage standards, he
SAID. should be attempted without first
giving the government chance 10
mediate between employers and work
ers. Mr.. Wilson also explained a Labor
Department plan for having industries
make their repairs at the harvest sea-
son. so workers may spend their vaea-
lions in the fields.
Scott Outlines Munitions Work
What the General Munitions Board is

chairman. At the Battle of Gettys-
burg, he said. the Union army in three
Gays fired only $4,000 shells, while to-
Gay the same number Of guns would

Hair often Ruined
by Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless) and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
one or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, which rinses
out easily, removing every particle OF
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil
The hair dries quickly and evenly, and
1t leaves the scalp soft. and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy
and easy to manage
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap. and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months.-Adv.

tion of the entire state was given
something 10 do along the lines Of its

Some Are Taught at Home.
The schools of Kentucky are con-
Quoted for six months in the country
districts and they begin work on the
first Monday In July in order TO close
before the bad roads interfere The
commission began most earnestly to
work after the opening OF the schools
In 1914, and established moonlight
schools in more than fifty counties
that summer. Above one hundred
thousand adults We're enrolled during
the months Of July, August and Sep
tcmbcr, more than twenty thousand
of these being beginners ranging in
age from 20 to 30 years. Hundreds
of others too proud or stubborn TO
attend school were taught at home 10y
a son. daughter. friend, neighbor, or
teacher. Hundreds OF letters were re-
ccived daily 10y the commission from
those who learned to write.
There are many thousands Of ma
tlve-born white people in Kentucky
who are proud, worthy, noble, inteili-
gent people. They missed the oppor-
tunity in earlier life of learning to
read and write. They were too proud
to attend moonlight schools until the
movement became general, when they
went or were taught I'm some other
way. Many others thot they were
too old to learn, that the time was
past when 1t was possible for them
10 be taught. but this has proved to
be a mistake, for many persons past
40 years of age have learned TO read
intelligently and to write legbly I'm

that will take more time than the
