PUBLIC PAYS OLD BEAN PRICE
Government Cut In Prices Will Not Az
feet Private Consumer.

Lansing-Fixing of government
prices for beans purchased for the
army and navy will not seriously affect
the prices private consumers will pay,
according to a prominent elevator
man. Farmers will probably keep
their stuff off the market until after
November Is, when the period of
fixed prices expires.
AS the bean men interpret it, the
announcement of the government
prices merely means that if the gov
eminent requires a carload of beans
it will commander it at the new prices
and not allow the owner the market
price at which 1t was invoiced.
Dealers are not prevented from sell
ing at former prices to private pur-
chasers, but If the government wants
the beans II can conhscate them at
the prices fixed. Also price differences
are made in shipments subject to car
shortage" or other conditions, and
rolling stocks" or beans loaded on the
tracks.

"The vaIkyrIe Of the Piano."

Teresa Carreno was an extraordi-
nary artist, and the appellation COM
monty linked with her name failed to
do justice to the softer, gentler. more
intimate aspects of her art, says
writer in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. She was one OF the few mu-.
steal artists of South America who
have satisfied the critical standards of
Europe and the United States, which
demand patient submission to
drudgery on the part Of genius itself.
Nine. Carreno, native of Venezuela
and composer of the national anthem
of that country. was of fiery mettle as
artist and woman, and her temper was
quickly modified on occasions. But
her playing was electric and inspir-
ing and never humdrum. Her pic
turesque and fiery personality would
have made her an outstanding figure
In any gathering without the voice Of
the piano to speak for her. From the
concert stage there will be missed an
artist of authentic gifts, whose in
cisive character and diversified expe-
rience were inseparable from her mu-
steal performance.

Detroit.-New government prices for
beans throughout the country were an
nounced in Detroit Sunday by w. J..
Orr, OF Saginaw, chairman of the bean
committee of the war industries
board.
The new standard prices, said to
be material reduction, were con-
tanned in the following telegram to
Mr. Orr from Washington:
"The following prices will apply

FIRST QUOTA NOT AFFECTED
New Draft Regulations, Tentative, Not
In Force Yet.

Washington Provost Marshal
General Crowder formally notified the
governors of states last Saturday that
the proposed changes in the draft reg
ulations, involving classification of
registrants, does not affect the quota
which has been chosen. He also gave
notice that the new regulations still
are in tentative form and will not be
interpreted at this time.
This telegram was sent to the gov
ernors:
Inquiries from several states indi-
cate that the impression exists that
the proposed change in the regulations
involving classification Of registrants
will be effective before the present
quota is in camp.
This impression is a mistaken one.
The entire first quota will be chosen
under the regulations now in force. AS
the new regulations are as yet in ten
tative form and will not be retroactive,
it is manifestly inadvisable to answer
questions concerning them or to con-
strue or interpret them at this time"

U. S. CURBS WHOLESALE PRICES
Selling Price Now Must be Based on
Cost, Not on Market Conditions.

Washington.-Tha the wholesalers
profit in war time should be governed
by the price he actually pays for the
goods he sells and not by prevailing
market conditions, is the principle es-
tablished by the food administration
in regulations which we're put into
effect November 1. They have to do
with a large number of commodities.
The rule is one of a large number
which are now being completed for
the guidance of the food dealers who
this week are being placed under
licenses by the food administra-
ton.
1t provides that no dealer in GER
tain specified commodities shall sell
cat more than a reasonable advance
over the actual purchase price of
the particular goods sold without
regard to the market or replacement
value"

FOOD PRICES IN STATE VARY
Charges for Some Staples Show Wide
Range in Different Towns.

ng-"Exorbitant" is what State
Food Administrator Prescott calls
some of the prices retailers are get
ting for foodstuffs in Michigan.
Commissioner Woodwork made a
canvass of Michigan. had his men try
the prices in 46 towns in the state on
the same date They priced eight diff
ferent kinds of canned goods, 16 diff
ferent cereal products, three dried
fruits, sugars and syrups, nine fats,
five vegetables and IL kinds Of meat
aud fish.
The differences between the high
and low prices is what caused the ex-
plosion from Mr.. Prescott.
Here are some of the differences re-
corded: Number 1 -four, 40 pound
sacks, varied $132 in price; the high
est being 1912 and the lowest $2.40.
Twenty-four pound sacks ranged in
price from $1.20 to SO.
Canned goods did not have nearly
so large a range, but when the prices
of the three dried fruits listed by the
department are looked at a return to
"exorbitant" is noticed. Prunes ranged
in price from 10 cents 35 cents; evap-
Grated apples from IL to "a cents.
GRADUATED sugar showed a range on
ly of from to IL cents, since the
shortage became acute, however, the
prices advanced much higher in some
of the larger cities. Butter ranged
from Al to 81 cents, leaf lard from
26 to 33, oleo from 20 to 81, but olive
oil has the big space of from 62 cents
to $3.50 quart tin.
White potatoes ran all the way from
80 cents a bushel to $1.S7 a bushel.
Sweet potatoes we're S1.25 and $500
a bushel.

NATURAL GIFT TO WOMEN
Extraordinary intelligence Displayed
Even by Youngest Mothers In
Handling Own Children.

She was a little mite of thing, not
much larger than the big, bald-headed
baby she carried In her arms, although
she was the mother of the child. She
could not have been more than twenty
years of age and had probably had no
experience with children. But she
got on the car dropped the ticket into
the box and sat down and adjusted the
infant to a comfortable position for
1t and herself with all of the ease
and grace one might expect from a
person who had devoted lifetime to
handling babies.
The fellow who sat In the seat with
me studied the child and mother for a
few minutes, then turned to me and
said:
"Now, just look at that; there's a
girl brought up In a family where
there were no children. She never
had any experience whatever with
them. But she was married year or
so ago, and there isn't a mother any
where who knows more about babies
than she does. II just seems like
something tells a mother what to do
with kid; she doesn't even have to
have ordinary intelligence"
The fellow in front of us resented
the last sentence and turned around.
"No, she doesn't have to have ordi-
nary intelligence" he said to my
friend "but she has to have extraor-
binary intelligence, and God gives her
that when he gives her the baby"
And none of us had anything further
to say, for the simple reason there
wasn't anything further to be said;
he had said II all.-Columbus Dis

jreland's Poetry.

Padric Colum, one of the young Irish
revolutionists now In this country, has
this to say about Ireland's poetry:
"The new Irish poetry is the most
democratic that is being written-it Is
democratic not only because it deals
with the folk of the country and the
town, but because 1t attempts to give
everyone voice and because 1t is
written out of recognition Of the fact
that In every life there are moments
of intensity and beauty. 1t may be
that this feeling for spiritual democ-
racy manifested and propagated by the
poets and dramatists is preparing Ire
land for new capitalization Of ideas
"a specialization that will have an
effect on her social and economic life."

CUSTER TROOPS MOVING SOUTH
Depot Brigade Depleted BY Draft for
Guard Ranks.

Camp Custer, Battle Creek-The
S5th division has begun to suffer
losses both in officers and in men, the
gamers being the 32d division. which
contains the Michigan National Guard.
A list of 1872 names of men who we're
, selected as the first to go to Camp
Macarthur, Waco, Tex, were issued by
division headquarters last week and
in addition IL engineer officers were
ordered to the guard.
The enlisted men assigned to duty
with the guard come from the 160th
depot brigade, but include 246 men
attached to that brigade from the
310th engineers.
Though this huge draft from the
depot brigade reduces Il to a mere
shadow for the present, It is far from
being enough to make up the Waco
requirements. The other organiza-
lions must supply 2,3SS men to fill the
list, and these men are being selected
as rapidly as possible.

AMERICAN TROOPS
IN The TRENCHES
NATION is THRILLED BY NEWS
THAT sAMMlES ARE NOW
ACTIVE IN WAR.
ARE SENT INTO QUIET SECTOR
Although Fighting There is Not Sc
we're, Casualties Are Expected From
Well-aimed She'll Fire.

Washington-The nation was thrill
ed last Saturday by word that Ameri-
can troops at last were face to face
with the Germans across No Mans
land. Announcement by Gen. Pershing
that several battalions of his infantry
were in the front line trenches, sup
porter by American batteries, which
already had gone into action against
the enemy, famed new flame OF pat
riotism throughout the country.
The absolute silence with which
Secretary Baker and war department
officials greeted the news, however,
showed that although the movement
into the trenches had been expected
at any time, it was regarded only as
the final phase of the mems training
a military finishing school conducted
under fire-a school of blood and iron.
German shells are breaking about the
American forces although they have
not taken over the trench sector. Rifle,
machine guns, bombs and bayonets in
American hands will greet any enemy
attack.
Casualties to Be Expected.
Casualties among the American
forces are to be expected Reports
from the front already show inter
mittent artillery firing and a we'll
aimed shell may claim American vic
tins at any moment. There is moth
ing to indicate, however, that an Of
fensive operation by the Americans
and their French associates is to be
expected, outside of possible trench
raiding. The sector where the front
line training school has been estab-
lished is described as one of the quiet
est on the front and If this condition
continues, it will tend to minimize
losses.
VIII Take over Section.
In time a complete section Of the
front will be Americanized in every
detail How wide this front will be,
where on the long line 1t is to be To-
Gated and similar questions are mat
ters about which no speculation is
permitted. Saturdays announcement
brings appreciably closer, however,
the day when the actual fighting front
Of the American army in France will
be established and when American
energy will be engaged directly in the
task of crushing German military
power.
The long period of waiting and prep
aration is past It's first irksome stages.
From now on, the military power of
the United States in France will grow
steadily and the results of the months
of bodybuilding will begin to make
themselves felt in their drive of steel
against the German ranks.
