WHEAT FROM SIBERIA MAY
 REACH U. s,

CHANGCHUN, ManchUria, Oct. 3. Manchurian and Siberian wheat prob ably will be exported to America to replace American wheat shipped to the Entente Allies in Europe. Be cause of the lack of locomotives and cars, it is impossible to send the wheat surplus from eastern Asia in to European Russia. At scores of railway stations in Siberia and Man churia, sacks of wheat only slightly protected by temporary sheds are rapidly ,deteriorating.
 Agents of the United States gov ernment have been inspecting the wheat and soy beans. which are awaiting transportation, and it is probable that the wheat and beans within reasonable distance of tide water will be diverted to America
 There are many flour mills in Si. beria and Manchuria. European Rus sia lacks milling facilities. Plans ere under consideration for the re moyai of some of the mills from western Siberia to centers in south ern Russia, where large quantities of wheat are available.

MAYOR SMITH MAKES
 TALK ON EDUCATION

DOUGLAS, Oct Ave must edu cate or short will be our race from the cradle to the grave"
 That is what Henry Clay said aw ay back more than six score years ago and Mayor Elmer E. Smith re night in an address before the Par ent-Teacher Association when prac tically every seat in the big assem- bly room was occupied, it being the first meeting of the present school year.
 Mayor Smith favored changing the name "Parent-Teachers' Association" to Patriotic Teachers of America" and said the exegencies of the times require the teaching of more patriot of America. Speaking as Mayor Oi the city, he said it was the inten- tion of the Council to have the very best school money would pro vide and that the children of Tread well desirous of attending the Doug las high school are as welcome as the flowers in May-without money or price. He paid a glowing tribute to the present staff of teachers and bespoke an era of unprecedented Prof. G. w. Greene, superintend ent of the school, followed the May or in short talk explanatory of the systems employed not only in assist ing the children to plant their feet firmly on the rounds of the step ladder of fame, but also to instill the principles of self-disciplfne. He urged cooperation of parents with teachers and assured the former that only with their assistance could the school be made the desired success Ten little girls of Miss Won Ma gle's room favored with a folk dance i and Miss Helen Stoody read splen did original essay on the Mountains of Alaska"
 The matter of selecting a president for the P T. A. seems a difficult | one-so difficult, indeed that Mrs Mary A. Walker the efficient presi dent last year, has been unable tG unload the position. After a mum Der had been placed in nomination last night and had declined in one | two, three order, a committee com | posed of Mesdames Benson, Hewett and Kirkham was named to select both president and vice-president by the next meeting provided suit able material that will stand hitchet can be found.
 Mesdames Bollinger, Martin and Kirkham were named a committed on refreshments for the next meet ing which will be held the first Monday night after the ides of No vember begin to idle.
 Prof. Greene reported that iron 9 to 40 patrons of a night schoo can be procured, the majority O whom desire to study English ant the forms of American government Several others desire to take up tht studies of shorthand, stenograph. and Spanish.
 The meeting closed with the sing ing of the Star Spangled Banner ant the manner in which everybody, in cluding the reporter, mumbled tn, words made it apparent that tn, words of that song should be taugh in both day and night schools.
