FOOD PEDDLERS FORCED
 ID SUSPEND BUSINESS
Children Are to Be Kept Out of School Until the Price of Food Is Lowered President of American Sugar Re- fining Company Declares No Short age of Sugar Exists,

New York, Feb 2o.--Following many clashes between the police and women food rioters at the city hall and in congested tenement districts today Joseph Hartigan, commissioner of weights and measures. announced that he was doing everything in his power to stimulate the flew of food stuffs into this city from all parts of the country.
 Reports received by the commis sioner indicate that the situation has reached an acute stage which, he as- serts, calls for the establishment by congress "of some sort of food control commission to meet the per capita con sumption of food in the United States
 Retail shopkeepers and push cart peddlers have been forced to bear the brunt of the assaults of the augry housewives here. The bureau of weights and measures announced that the abnormal exportation of rood. stuffs and the subnormal production are the underlying causes of the ad vance in prices
 It was said, however, that there ia abundant evidence of speculation Hsa canned goods"
 So desperate have the women in some parts of the city become, it is said, that hundreds of food peddlers have suspended business. A num- Der of these dealers who ventured out on the upper east side today were set upon by a mob of housewives when it was found that they were sell ing onions at l5 cents per pound and potatoes al g and 10 cents per pound The peddlers were driven from the streets into railways of tenments, where the women tore their clothing and scrateched their faces. Meantime the push carts were demolished and their contents strewn about the streets.
 After several hundred women had stormed the city hall in an effort 70 see the mayor, Mrs. Ida Harris, presi dent of the Mothers Vigilance League, issued statement declaring it had been decided to keep children away from the schools until the price Of food is lowered. This step, Mrs liar ris asserted was justified because poorly fed children are in no eOndi- ticn to profit by schooling
 Announcement was made tonight by Earl D. Babst. president of the Amer icap Sugar Refining Company, that housewives should pay no attention to unfounded stories as to the short ago of sugar" Mir Babst said:
 There are ample supplies of raw and refined on hand and in transit throughout the country to take care of normally consumption. We are operat. ing all of our retineries and expect so to continue
 A great crowd CT housewives, many of them with children, fought to ob- tain entrance to a meeting in an east side hall tonight at which protests were made against the high price Of food. The meeting ended with the adoption of a plan for many thous- ands of women and children to march all day in Wall street and at night through Fifth avenue. A committee vas appointed to demand of the board or estimate an appropriation of s1.- 100000. for the immediate purchase of foodstuffts to be distributed among the poor at cost.

A Swedish correspondent in Ger
many in the Stockholm Social Demo-
kratem tells of the WEAKNESS of the
war Germany has: "The war weari-
ness in Germany has, of course,
grown greater day by day. Now.
when children of 18 and old men Of
48 are seen driven to the railway
station to be slaughtered, there are
no flowers thrown and singing any
longer. The days of glory and iub-
ilation of the patriotic bluff are at
an end even in military Germany!
The name of the Somme even to the
Germans is now the great monster
grave; they acknowledge this them
themselves. They also admit that
Germany must return Belgium, the
occupied parts of France, and per
haps Alsace-Lorraine also. Such
things are, of course, spoken of very
cautiously, but / have heard them
even from soldiers who come from
the front, who are thrown from one
front to another in order to break up
discomfort by this means"

As To County Agents.

No time is being lost by Kansas
counties wishing to take advantage
of the government food production
bill recently passed which is intended
through placing emergency food
agents in counties to increase crop
. production. Fifteen counties of the
state have organized for the emer-
gency demonstration work. In fact
agents have already been appointed
for Hodgman and Cowley counties
both a man and woman in the lat
ter.
H. B. Fuller, agriculturist in coun-
ty agent work with the government
states relation service, has been con-
ferring this week at the agricultural
college with the emergency agricul-
tural organization committee APP
pointed with a view to working out
details of the proposition for Kan.
sas. The committee is composed OF
Harry Umberger, supervisor Of de-
monstrations, division of extension,
Kansas State Agricultural college; G..
E. Filing, formerly agent for the
southeast district with headquarters
at Parsons; P. E. Crabtree, agent for
the western district with headquar--
tiers at Scott City; G. F. Turner Of
Manhattan, and Walter Burr, direc-
tor of the rural service department,
division of extension, Kansas State
Agricultural college.
The plan will be presented to every
county of the state. Counties which
already have agents under the Smith
Lever act may obtain the services OF
women under the new food produc-
ton bill. The agents will not have
regulatory and police powers, but
will serve as helpers to the farmers.
Approximately $4,000 will be
available annually for county agent
work in Kansas during the war. OF
this amount $4,000 will be used in
the work among the women. 1t will
be a question of "first come first
served" The chances are that be-
cause of lack of funds it will be i'm
possible to provide every county with
agents.
To procure an emergency helper 1t
is not necessary to organize farm
bureau. The county council of de-
Tense is the connecting link. The
people request that body to ask the
county commissioners to appropriate
$500 for office equipment and ex-
penses. The government pays ST..
600, and the state nothing in this
case.
The food production bill antici-
pates the Smith-Lever act. Approx
imately the same amount of money
will be available during the war that
will be forthcoming in 1922 when the
Smith-Lever act is in full operation
Counties now ready to receive
agents are Greeley, Lane Ness
Rush, Gray, Ford. Haskell, Stevens
Seward, Pratt, Kingman, Morton
Finney, Hodgeman, Cowley.

Potatoe.e Come Back.

The huge potato crop which the
federal forecast indicates will be pro-
duced in the United States this year
means that this important food
staple will be cheaper, and makes it
possible says the United States de-
ment of agriculture, for American
families that had to cut down on
potato consumption because Of high
prices to restore the tuber to prom
inent place on their bill of fare.
The department forecast, based on
reliable estimates from all parts of
the country, places the total potato
yield at more than 467 million bush
els as compared with 2S5 million in
1916 and 80 million in 1915. Pota-
toes of the current season are al
ready in the market in large quanti-
ties, and, since the early harvested
tubers can not be kept easily, should
be eaten more abundantly now if
sp0ilage is to be avoided.
Next to the breadstuffs, potatoes
are the most important food crop of
the western nations, the department
points out, They are all the more
important now that the worlds wheat
supply is short, since they furnish
starch, the principle food element
contributed by bread, and so may be
substituted in part for bread.
1t is no hardship to Americans,
says the department, to eat freely of
potatoes; rather it has been a hard
ship to them during the past half
year to forego somewhat the use Of
this common food.

AN INVOCATION.

Delivered by Mrs. W. H. Graves at
a session Of Liberal Woman's
club.)
Our flag, may it never be hauled
down in defeat. May it ever wave a
symbol of freedom and an inspira-
ton to the down trodden and oppres-
sed.
May it's constellation of stars cast
a halo of righteousness and justice
over all mankind.
May its bars bind us all into one
race, one aim and one aspiration,
its white bars emblamtic of purity
and justice, their soothing and
enobling influence of right, equity
and equality. Its red bars, the bril-
liant bands of courage, inspiring US
to our noblest effort to broaden and
educate all mankind, to our lofty
principles of justice and freedom.
May we never break under its
folds, that commandment which for
bids us to covet our neighbours pos
sessions. But to render unto Caesar
the things that are Caesars, and un-
to God, the things that are Gods. To
stand beneath its folds; our arms
open to welcome to those who come
to our shores, to attain that which is
denied them in the land of their
birth. To stand beneath it united, to
hurl back the aggressor, who comes
to our shore, to rob us of our birth
right, freedom, equity and equality;
to trample under our feet and shat
ter the sword of all enemies who
come in search of conquest, and to
stand beneath its stars and strips, a
united nation.
Our motto: justice to all, our
shield

..Pinafore."

The action of the opera "Pina-
fore" begins on the quarter deck of
the Pinafore, which is lying in the
harbor of Portsmouth, England. The
sailors are busily cleaning brass
work, splicing ropes and engaging in
other like tasks. The first important
actor to appear is Little Buttercup, a
fat, jolly bumboat woman, who COM
plains that, although she looks red
and rosy, a canker worm is lurking
within her. Dick Deadeye, the vii
lian, comes on board, followed by the
young sailor, Ralph Rackstraw, who
is signing over the fact that he loves
a lass above his station, the lass be-
ing Josephine, the daughter of Cap
tain Corcoran of the Pinafore. The
captain has ambitions for his daugh-
ter and is deeply grieved that she
does not accept the attentions of Sir
Joseph Porter, K. c. B. Josephine
arrives to confess to her father that
she loves common sailor, but does
not mention his name. Sir Joseph
comes to press his suit. Josephine,
declaring that Sir Joseph attentions
nauseate her, smiles on Rackstraw
until he is encouraged to make de-
claration. She then conceals her
real feelings and haughtily bids him
seek some village maiden for mate.
he draws a pistol and is holding it to
his head, when she confesses her love
for him. They plan to elope and are
overheard by Dick. Ralph is thrown
into a dungeon by the Captain and
as he parts from Josephine he sings:
Farewell, my own;
Light of my life, farewell;
For crime unknown
go to a dungeon cell.
1t all comes to a happy ending for
the two lovers by the confession Of
Little Buttercup that when she was
young and charming she practiced
baby farming, and in her own words
Two tender babes ! nursed;
One was of low condition,
The other upper crust,
A regular patrician.
Then she tells how she confused
the children and sings:
The well born babe was Ralp,
Your Captain was the other!
Ralph is thus exalted to the high |
rank he is entitled to and he marries
Josephine, and Sir Joseph concludes
to marry Hebe, his cousin. At Chau-
tauqua.

We have remarked the low tide at
which the national spirit found itself
when war impended There were
those who held fatuous the idea that
this country lacked anything in the
way of patriotism or sense of ma
tional duty. Well, they are beginning
to put on the screws. And. if you are
an American, you will blush in humil-
iation every time you look over the
list of those who have claimed ex-
emption. We might as well see this
this thing clearly now. 1t is going

on. The slogan,"Let George Do It,"
has been adopted by an overwhelm-
ing majority.-Jay E. House.

NJ CAsK|LL MAKES
GOOD WITH AUTOS
now AF TER TRUCKS

Of the enterprising automobile
firms in Pensacola, there is perhaps
none more worthy of note than that
of the Pensacola Overland Co., of
which Dudley McCaskill is manager.
Mr. McCaskill is not content with
his success in handling pleasure cars
alone, he believes that he can render
the masses as well as the classes
great service by giving them de-
livery truck that would answer the
purpose of both pleasure and BUSH
ness, and with that belief comes the
announcement that he has accepted
the agency of the Smith Form-a-
Truck. Of the Smith For-n-a-Truck
it might be said, that it has met with
universal approval wherever it has
been introduced.
c. c. Zimmerman, factory repre-
sentative of the Smith Motor Truck
Corporation, is in the city today, hav-
ing accompanied the first shipment
of trucks which will be demonstrated
here next week. They may be seen
at the company's place Of business,
