ARE COAL PRICES TOO HIGH?
Missouri Attorney General Tells
Hoover of Big Profit Made by
Southern Illinois Operators

Washington, Oct. 4-Representa-
lives of public utilities companies in
Iowa and Illinois, headed by Clifford
Thorne, appeared today before the
fuel administration to protest against
the coal prices fixed by the govern
ment. The fixed prices, they contend,
while lowering the market price OBJ
tanning at the time, in almost every
instance are higher than the average
prices for the last year.
Attorney General McAllister of Mis-
souri, said in an investigation at st.
Louis recently sworn statements OF
coal operators showed the cost of pro-.
duction in, Southern Illinois fields to
range from $1.O4 to $1.40 ton, while
the prices fixed by the government
range from $1.70 to $3.50, allowing
coal producing companies a dividend
on their capital stock of from so to
80 per cent as war profits.

Three years ago there was orga-
nized in the southern part of Leaven-
worth county the Glenwood Mother
Daughter Canning Club, said to be the
first organization of its kind in the
world A few days ago that same
club, which now has prototypes in
nearly every county in the state, ar
ranged to put into effect another new
community service idea Complete
plans have been formulated for sup
plying free hot lunches to the pupils
of five rural schools this winter.
Cooking stoves are installed in the
Glenwood. Elmgrove. Dafer. Jewett
and Loring schools, all in the south
ern part of the county, and the Moth
er-Daughter Canning Club in each dis
trict has plans completed for prepar-
ing and serving warm lunches to the
pupils two or three times a week The
plan of serving school children with
warm meals has been carried out on
large scale in many of the leading
cities of the East, but is new for
rural schools.
The method which will be pursued
by the canning clubs makes it the
duty of two members to go to the
schools a certain day in the week and
prepare soup or some other warm,
nourishing dish. They will furnish
the materials themselves. Different
women will do the work each time
until all the club members have taken
their turn. when the round will start
again.
Mrs J. M. Timmons, president of
the Glenwood club. was. with 1. N.
Chapman, county farm bureau agent,
originator of the hot lunch plan here.
II the new branch of work taken up
by the canning clubs proves as sue
cessful as the original effort in COM
munity work the entire state will soon
adopt the system.

opportunity to win commissions and
attend an officers training camp,
which will open at both camps Janu-

day by the War Department With
the exception of graduates and under
graduates of certain colleges and
military academies, with approved
military courses of ten years stand
ing, the doors are closed to civilians.
Approximately two thousand collie
gians will have the opportunity to en-
ter the different camps, so the re-
naming thousands will come from pri-
Yates and .noncoms" now in service
or soon to be in the national army.
Accredited schools m Missouri and
Kansas are: The University of Mis-
souri,, Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege, Wentworth Military Academy at
Lexington, Mo-, and the Kemper Mill
tary Academy at Boonville. Gradu-
ates ftom those schools will be taken
in limited numbers. Some married
men will be taken, but preference will
be given to single men.
Men in the national army or the ma
tional guard are to have every oppor-
tunity to get in the camp. Whether
they succeed will depend largely on
their efforts in the next few weeks.
They have until December I to put in
their applications for admittance to
camp to be held at their post.
Each company commander will Sc
Iect not to exceed 10 per cent of the
enlisted strength of his organization
from the applications. He will recon-
mend them to an examining board.
The board will Gull out the applica-
tions. Not more than 1T per cent of
each organization will be finally &C
cepted. There will be a camp at
Camp Funston and another at Fort
Sill. There will be an infantry school
and light artillery school, with
about 40 men in each camp. These
schools will get the benefit of the in,
struction of foreign officers, who will
be at each camp
