and remunerative price, Wheat in
the past few months has been as high
as SO per bushel and -four S18 per
barrel With the price next year at
50 per bushel, flour should not be more
than $40 or 81 per barrel, and this
should give great relief to the con-
suming public. Some may think that
the price fixed for wheat too high, but
in view of the present prices of land
labor, mules and feed it has been
shown that it cannot be produced much
below that price.

THE NEED OF ECONOMY
AND SAVING

The United States is no wat war.
A large part of our country's human
energy is taken away from the farms,
factories and industries of peace, and
until the war ends all their energies
will be devoted to fighting.
A great portion of our productive
energy is being turned into the crea-
ton of implements of destruction
Many of our products are now being
devoted to purposes Of war. Destruc-
ton instead of construction is the OBJ
ject of great portion Of the country's
energy.
AS much of the human energy and
productive capacity of the nation are
now being devoted to the purposes OF
war, so should the proper amount Of
the money Of the United States be SO
devoted. He who offers his life for
his country is offering the greatest
possible sacrifice, but the American
men and women who support the gov
eminent with their money are doing
their part.
This war is going to be financed
largely out of the savings of the
American people curing Inc WAT ~
is not too great a sacrifice to make
for ones country in time of war to de-
ny ones self Injuries, to cut down I'M
necessary expenses, to lead quieter and
buster lives. Not only will the money
thus saved and used to buy Liberty
Loan Bonds help the United States
but the diminished consumption of
food and other articles will do much
to relieve the country from the strain
of war.
The less the people use the less
strain there is upon the productive
capacity of the nation and the more
can be devoted to winning the war;
the more the people save the more
liberal financial support can they give
the government. This is the peoples
war, and it is to be financed by the
wage earnerresc eu
not by the poor, but by the rich and
the poor, the capitalist and the wage
Garner, the miner and the farmer and
the manufacturer.

DRASTIC MEASURES TO
CONTROL COAL SUPPLY
PLANNED BY GARFIELD

Washington, September 10.-The
plan worked out by DR.. Harry X. Gar
field, coal administrator, for govern
ment control of the coal supply of the
United States during the war, as
learned today, contemplates absolute
federal supervision of every ton avail
able. Every industry in the United
States comes under the scheme, what,
as a war measure, is one of the most
farreaching and drastic that could be
conceived. Coal will be distributed
throughout the country by means of
an elaborate staff of local coal adj
illustrators, according to the actual
needs of the different communities.
That required for government work
and the operation of the railroads will
be apportioned first, for family use
second and for commercial needs
third, according to the Importance of
the industry affected. There is not
expected to be enough coal to supply
all the demands. For this reason it
is anticipated that some industries of
minor national Importance will have
to suspend operation.
Aut pdoLS upOu WHICH wal VIII NC
distributed will be last years re-
quirements, although, so far as is
possible, actually increased demands
will be taken into consideration. Ev-
cry means will be taken to prevent
boarding of coal.
Garfield will divide the country into
sections, each Of which will be com.
posed Of several States. At the head
of each he will place coal admins
traitor directly accountable to him,
who will report on coal needs and pro-
duction. In turn these sectional ad-
ministrators will appoint one admins
traitor for each State in the district,
who will report to the sectional ad-
ministrator Immediately over him.
The State administrators will have
under them officials for each county
of the State and for each city, hav-
ing over $500 inhabitants.

Records are reported to have been
found among the papers in the palace
of the deposed Russian Gear showing
a plan to have existed in the mind of
Kaiser Wilhelm to make dupe Of
Gear Nicholas in the formation of a
coalition with Germany, Russia and
France the three participants, for the
purpose of putting Great Britain off
the map and eventually establishing
Germany as the Dominating force in
Europe and the Kaiser practically
monarch of all the surveys. Some
how the plans did not come to fruition
and finally Wilhelm imagined he was
strong enough. with Austria's aid, to
accomplish his ambitions regardless
of the others. And he has put up q
game fight---all will admit that---but
his dream Of world dominion grows
fainter and fainter with each passing
day. Taken singly, Germany could
have mastered any European country,
but the menace was too well xecog-
nized for him to have the opportunity
Of taking them one at time.

And He Did 1t

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he, with chuckle, replied,
That "maybe it couldn't, but he would be one
Who wouldn't say till he tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face if he worried he hid it,
Sc started to sing he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed, "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least, nobody ever has done it,
But he took off his coat, and he took off his hat,
And the first thing he knew he'd begun it,
With the lift of his chin and bit of grin,
If any doubt rose he forbade il.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There thousands to tell you it cannot be done
There thousands to prophesy failure,
There are thousands to point out to you one by
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with bit Of grin,
Then take off your coat and 60 to it;
Just start in to sing you tackle the thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do it.

GREAT PATRIOTISM

GREAT PATRIOTISM
We are tremendously proud OF our
Liberty Loan record. The Ordway
schools took out $500 worth of bonds
in the name of the school. the
bonds taken out were distributed as
follows: Faculty. $50: senior class.
$50; combined high school and
eighth grade. $50: sixth grade, $50;
other grades combined. $50; gym.
nasium fund, $3.50: and Individual
subscriptions to $1,350; making q
grand total of $3.50 for our school:
I These bonds invested for the school
will be used for some school purpose
when they mature. Is there any
school of our size in the United
States that can beat this?
The high school Halloween party
on Tuesday night was nothing short
of a "howling success The howl
began at the fire escape entrance,
where we were actually shocked at
the warmth of our reception. They
continued as We unraveled the
threads of huge cobyeb and found
at the ends mysterious packages, the
contents of which varied from 1--we
mice to choice specimens of lemon
and cactus. Then came tho unmask-
ing ceremony Two big boxes of
candy were awarded as prizes for tne
best costumes. Paul Rohl won the
boys prize with his costume of
king of Hearts, Frank Dean, as
Buster Brown won the prize for
the girls. Indians. neg: Oes, witches,
ghosts and soldiers all jostled to-
eether in the crowd. School movies.
fortune games and adventures of a
particlarly shocking nature in the
chamber of horrors were features of
the evening. How tie teachers ever
