If low prices were set for copper and other materials for use by the military forces why should not food be includ- ed? It is the fact that food is the most important of all the material sent abroad, yet it is perfectly clear that if the government should estab- fish prices for flour, butter eggs and other necessary articles which were goods here, there would be so great a clamor that the project would quickly be dropped.

 The regular monthly meeting of the town school board was held in the town court room last evening. As there were no matters of any great importance to come before the meet Ing the members took up discussion of the means that are being employed to keep the expenditures within the estimated figures.
 The matter of an increase in sal aries for the teachers was the princi- pal topic of thel evening but it was deemed advisable by the members not to take any definite action until the May meeting of the board:s The mem bers present were unanimous in their opinion that the teachers in the town schools were entitled to an in- crease in salary in line with the peti- ton that was presented at the last meeting. When the matter comes up for final adjustment at the next meet Ing there is very little doubt but what the final adjustment will be in favor of the teachers.
