Editor Star-Mirror:
In many of the cities, notice that
there are being formed classes for
training in the Red Cross work. AS
understand it a few weeks course
given to young woman of average in
telligence and education instruction in
the work required in field hospital, or
perhaps l should say, enough training
to enable her to make herself OF use in
such hospitals
Is it not possible to have such A.
class in our university? Neither the,
nation nor the state would object In
this emergency, if such study were
substituted for the required gymnas-
ium work or the class in personal hyg-'
iene. Such a class would no doubt be
welcomed by the university girls as
the best way to show their patriotism.

LET "OLD GLORY, WAVE

There is no desire to cheaper the American flag,
but there are times it should float breeze.
This is one of the times.
There are but two classes of people in this country
today One class is ready to honor the American hag
if need be to follow it the last extremity The other
class is a negligible quantity.
Everywhere in the nation today "Old Glory" kisses
the breeze; everywhere the flag floats united
people, everywhere there is heard the of patriotic
feet of loyal Americans ready for service.
Then why not let up the stars and stripes in
Moscow? Why not have the flag displayed on every
public building? Above ALL why not et the flag float
over every school house?
The time has come to show the coors.

The prospects for prosperity in

GOVERNMENT FIXES
1917 WHEAT PRICES
GOVERNMENT FIXES PRICE AT
S22O PER 6uSHEL FOR
1917 CROP.

Washington.-The price of No.
northern spring wheat fixed at $3.50
bushel at Chicago for the 1917 crop
by the wheat fair price committee,
headed by H. A. Garfield, whose find
ings, reached after three days delib-
Grafton. were submitted to and ap-
proved by President Wilson. The all
nouncement was made from the White
House.
Labor representatives on the COM
mittee voted first for S1.S4 and the
farmers for $3.50. After long discus
sion the compromise at s2.20 was ap-
proved unanimously.
The announcement was made at
the White House in a statement by
the president:
Section IL of the food act provides,
among other things, for the purchase
and sale OF wheat and -four by the
government, and appropriates money
for the purpose. The purchase of
wheat and -four for our allies and to
considerable degree for neutral coun-
| tries also has been placed under the
/ control of the food administration. |
have appointed a committee to deter
mine a fair price to be paid in gov
eminent purchases. The price now
| commanded by that committee, 500
per bushel at Chicago for the basic
grade, will be rigidly adhered to by
| .bo food admipicfrat ti0u
ut is the hope and expectation OF
The food administration and my own
also that this step will at once sta
bilize and keep within moderate
bounds the price of wheat for all
transactions through the present year,
and, in consequence, the prices OF
-four and bread also. The food ac'
has given large powers for the con
troll of storage and exchange opera
tions. and these powers will be fully
exercised. An inevitable consequence
will be that financial dealings cannot
follow their usual course.
The report of the committee, ad
dressed to the president, follows:
THE undersigned committee has
been asked by you to recommend the
price which the government should
nav for the 1917 crop of wheat.
In it's deliberations the committed
has kept constantly in mind the thre'
following factors:
'First-The fact that the Unite'
States is at war.
"Second-The need Of encouraging
the producer.
"Third-The necessity Of reducing
the cost of living to the consumer.

ciared TO be notorious that the mill

political censorship of the German
press on the pretense that puollca-
tions of a political nature may AFFECT
the military spirit of the people.
DR.. Heine gave the government
four weeks, until the assembling OF
the Reichstag, to amend its ways.
Otherwise, he said. the Reichstag ma
jority would take steps. The govern

earlier warnings of a similar nature
and its response in the present case
will be a test of the influence Of the
