Death of f.. l.. Parmenter.

Edward L. Parmcnter died at Bat
tie Creek Sanitarium, Battle Creek,
Mich, on Feb. 20, 1917, ut the age of
81 years. Surviving him are his
widow, Mary Parmenter, and one
daughter, Alice, who has been at
tending Ripon High school.
Mr.. Parmenter had been suffering
for some time from acute indiges-
ton disorders. About five weeks ago
he went to the sanatarium for an op-
Grafton. A further operation became
necessary, after which he gradually
failed. The immediate family was
with him at the bedside at the time
of death. Mrs. II. H. A. Vennema of
MenominCc, Mich, and Mrs. Leo F.
Nohl of Milwaukee are sisters
Mr. Parmenter was raised at Me-
nominee, Mich. He is a graduate Of
Ann Arbor, Mich. He became prin-
cipal of the Hyde Park school at Chi
cago and later of a school at Marin
cite. For a time he was associated
with his father in the lumber business
but that proved unattractive to him
and he returned to his educational
work. For many years he was con-
nected with the public schools at Iron
Mountain, Mich, and became county
commissioner of educational work
there. He served for several years
as principal of the Washington State
Normal school and more recently
became superintendent of schools at
Monte Vista, Colo.
About three years ago Mr. Par
menter still anxious to advance his
pedagogical training took a post
graduate course at Columbia univer-
sity, where he took his Masters de-
gree. He had been in poor health
for many years and was finally
obliged to give up the more contining
labors of school work for employ
ment which he believed would i'm
prove his health. Always interested
in horticulture, both as a matter of
scientific study and by way of recrea-
ton, he decided to take that up as
vocation and come to Ripon where he
has been in charge of the greenhouses
of Mr. H. l.. Clapp.
Mr.. Parmenter has always been an
active worker in the church, an uncom-
promising temperance advocate and
throughout his life was associated
with philanthropic undertakings.
The funeral took place at Menomi-
nee, Mich, his boyhood home, Thurs
day afternoon, where the remains
were inferred. Leo F. Nohl. In

RIOTS AT HAGUE
WOrkmen in Holland Rebel
Against High Cost of Food.
Crowds Dispersed by Charges
by Police and HuSSarS.

The Hague. Feb. 16.-Serious riot
ing, in which the crowds were only
dispersed after repeated charges by
police after hussars hurriedly had
been called upon for reinforcements,
occurred here last night The rioters,
mostly workmen, staged their demon
stration as a protest against the high
cost of food. They occupied the space
in front of the queens palace and the
ministerial buildings.
The food situation was regarded to-
day as having reached an acute stage
in Holland. Small salaried workers
find it almost impossible to obtain coal
and potatoes. Discomfort has been
growing and authorities today did not
disguise their fear of further outbreak
of probably an even more serious ma
ture than that of last night unless the
government takes ONE remedial
measures at once.
Primarily, the shortage in food has
been due to the fact that Holland, of
all neutrals, is most affected by the
blockades which the belligerent ma
tons of Europe have established
about her.

not yet alarming according to Ira
B. Mills of the state railroad and
warehouse commission today. His
statement was in part confirmed by
shippers.
No embargo has yet been placed
upon shipment of flour to southern
and eastern cities by railroads All
shipments offered them today were
accepted This is due to the light
crop in the northwest last fall, light
ening traffic conditions, and the fact
that flour mills for several weeks have
not been running full capacity, be-
cause of the car shortage. Eventual
ly, Mills said, this freight must back
up on Minnesota, if eastern embargoes
are maintained.
Minneapolis millers today agreed
with Mills in stating that there is lit
