sent the following response:
ut has afforded me genuine pleas
ure to receive your eloquent message
of September 25th. At this hour.
when the historic events of the past
few monhs have brought Russia in
to such close touch with America, it
is most heartening to witness the
courage with which the new Russia
faces the problems of the future,
especially when the high mission of
ness for the great duties which fall
upon a civic democracy is advanced
and sustained by such an educational
organization as yours. We OF Ameri-
ca long since learned that intellect
ual development and moral fitness
are the most powerful elements of
national advancement. AS the in
dividual is the type of the nation, so
the nation should embody the high
est individual ideals of civil perfec-
tion, in order to assert and maintain
it's honorable position in the world
family of commemorative, fulfilling
It's material and moral duties toward
its neighbors, strong in the might of
right and fearless in the cause of
truth and justice. In the effort to
attain this goal. may awakened Rus

tion and confident trust.

Nine. Bressovky's Telegram.

The telegram from Nine. Bressov-
sky was as follows:
1--WE Russian citizens have been re
ceiving from the American people sc
many tokens of friendship and ex-
pressions of good will to help Russia
in her hour of difficulties that VIC
feel an imperious desire on our part
to say to the great democracy of the
| United States how near to our hearts il
the union with that democratic peo-
pie and how fervently we wish to
preserve that union and friendship
so long as our nations last. America
as well as Russia is young country
in comparison with other great
states Our power is fresh and full
of energy. The many heavy blows
we have received during our history
have hardened our strength and made
us enduring in this struggle with the
stern conditions of today. Let us,
then, look courageously into the face
of our strength to the creation of a
new life based upon justice and mu-
tua, trust, life free and bright, built
upon the foundation of universal ed
ucation and love.
Trusting in the teachings of sci
ence and knowing that the common
welfare of all peoples is best served
solidly together we have organized
ourselves into a committee of civic
education. A widespread education
is necessary to make Russia an order
ly democratic country. We plan to
bring this education to the soldier in
the camp. to the workingman in the
town. and to the peasant in the vii
lage.
1--WE greatly appreciate the will
ingness of our elder brother in demo-
cracy to aid us in building true de-
mocracy that will guarantee our Ii
berties and give to all in Russia equal
opportunity. We Russians on our
part are ready to be useful to our
brethren on the other side of the
ocean and to defend together with
their libery and our common welfare
from the assaults of whatever enemies
may come. Long live our union and
friendship.

Economics of Grocery Business.
The discussions dealt principally
with the economics of the retail gro
Gerry business: with reduction In cost
of operation; with buying futures;
and with the idea of selling on the
basis of cost rather than market
value.
The plan is not to eliminate deliy-
cries but to lessen their number.
Forenoon deliveries only in small
towns was suggested as enabling the
drivers to act as clerks in the stores
during the afternoon when the farm
ers' trade is more lively, thus elimin-
ating one mans services, reducing
the cost OF operation, and consequent
I Iy of commodities.
The odd penny price system is ad-
vocated also as being means of re-
iduction.

ENGLAND CUTTING WHEAT
CONSUMPTION ONE HALF

The Food Administration issues
the following:
Under the new regulations of war
rationing. England has taken upon
herself the task of reducing wheat
consumption for the forthcoming
year to less than half the normal
consumption before war began.
Before the war normal consump-
ton of flour in England amounted to
.57,67S,571 barrels, or 23S pounds
per capita per annum. This flour
was II per cent extract, which means
that II per cent of the wheat was
extraced for the -four and the rest
went into by-products, used princi-
pally for stock food.
On February 2, 1917. the first war
rationing went into effect This was
followed by others. and on September
/ the milling regulations were so
changed as to provide 81 per cent
-four extraction and the compulsory
admixture of other grains of 20 per
cent. The consumption under this
regulation Is estimated at only 26.-
.332,s57 barrels, or less than lf9
pounds per capita, and less than half
the normal wheat -four consumption
in peace times.
Commencing on September II the
British government fixed the stand
ard price OF -four at $7.3S Sel' barrel
and the uniform price for bread at
is cents for 4-pound loaf. with a
1-pound loaf at cents.
