By Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 31.-Regu-
lations binding 1900 retailers OF the
state to conserve such foods as the
people here can do without but which
are absolutely necessary for soldiers
in battle were passed by the executive
committee of the Missouri Retail
Merchants Association which met
here at the request of the Federal
Government. Each of the $4,000
merchants will be required to sign a
pledge that he will carry out the plan.
Retailers are also to reduce their
expenses by eliminating some of their
daily deliveries. The department
stores il the large cities are expected
to follow this plan and make only two
deliveries daily.
A committee was appointed to CO.
operate with the Government and the
State Council of Defense in working
out future plans of food conservation.
The committee is composed Of
Henry C. Lutz of st. Louis; A. F. Fine
of Springfield; John F. Wiedermann
of Kansas City; ]. S. Marshall of st.

the coming year is to mean sorrow,
this sorrow must have been ordained
in the hearts of those who have made
the war a horrible necessity. II 1t
is to mean peace, this impulse, too,
must come from the hearts OF those
who have power to make peace.
In the year which is almost over,
we have got accustomed to lot OF
things, but we have only fairly
started on the scheme of living which
the war has made necessary. The
year to come will witness sacrifices,
It will show problems worked out,
and it will bring about new effi-
cheney. If we have been a .wasteful
nation, we shall try to redeem our
selves; if we have been careless in
the past, we shall attempt greater
care for the future.

what that life should be, and strive
to shape it to the best Of our national

EXCELLENT MILITARY PROGRESS

When the United States entered tht

almost too small to be compared with
the armies then in the field in Eu.
rope. Today the regular army Is
more than filled, the federalized Ma
tional Guard has been over recruited
and the selective craft army Of 67S,,
900 men, is about ready to go over
sea. When the war preparations be-
gan the United States did not have
enough officers to drill the troops
Two training camps have in the last
six months with their intensive train
ing fitted up enough civilians to take
charge of the drill. Another camp
will start soon.
Most army officers maintained
that it would take at least two years
to turn out even low ranking officers.
The training camps did it in three
months. How? By selecting men
who had shown promise in civilian
life and who worked harder than they
had ever worked before to earn a
commission. These men will not be
given high executive positions at
once but they are still training for
them. In the Civil War and as late
as the war with Spain officers were
selected in a ridiculous way. Politi-
cal pull and the number of recruits
a man could get, often determined
what rank he would receive. This
was done away with in the training
camps. The appointments were made
on merit. The son of the millionaire
had no better chance than the poor
lad who had been working his way
through school up to the time OF 60
ing to camp.
These officers will drill the Ma
tional Army and the National Guard
Some will be sent to the battlefront
to observe what the Allies are doing
They will bring the advanced methods
of warfare back with them. In six
months they will know how to drill
and care for their men. America will
have no "pitchfork army" but one
that will stand the test with any.

AUSTRIAN BELLS DISAPPEARING
Second Requisition Made by Govern.
ment Calls for Sacrifice.

ment CallS 1Of S8crlnces
Correspondence Of the Associated Pfess)
COPENHAGEN, Dec. 10.-A second
requisition of church bells has taken
place in Austria to the sorrow of the
Catholic population Of that country,
according to advices received here. A
limited number of bells had been
spared, thanks to the vigorous repre-
sentations of the Episcopal Church
authorities, but the government came
to the conclusion that further requisi-
tioning was necessary, with the result
that the church has had to sacrifice
many more of its familiar and cher
ished bells to the never-satisfied
Moloch Of war.
The idea of substituting steel bells
for bronze has not yet been adopted,
owing to the onerous conditions stip-
ulated by bell manufacturers, who de-
manded that the price should be paid
in foodstuffs for the workmen in the
factories.

WARNS SHIPPERS OF CORN
Texas VIII Not Accept Grain In Dam
aged Condition.

Corn shippers Of Missouri are be-
ing urged by the State Food Admin
istration to ship only hard corn into
Texas. 1t was brought out at a re-
cent meeting of railroad representa-
tives in Houston that soft corn
shipped into that state is being re-
fused by the consignee on account OF
the damaged condition Of the grain.
In several instances this damaged
grain has been sold at a loss of more
than SO per cent OF the market vaiue'
as much of it was unfit for consump-
ton when it reached its destination.
To prevent this financial loss and the
great waste of food, Missouri corn
growers are urged to ship only hard
corn into Texas.

THE PROPOSED wAp TAX.

II is not to be expected that every
body will be satisfied with the war
revenue bill designed to raise $l.aO0.-
100000 for the coming year as ap-
proved finally by the house ways and
means committee.
The work on this measure has been
intricate and trying and in order to
raise the revenue needed the commit
tee. at the last session. was Obliged TO
write In the bin n flat Increase of 10
/ per cent on all existing tariff duties
and 10 per cent on all articles admitted
free. The most important feature OF
the bill Is the increase in the income
tax controlling both personal and cor
poration incomes and here the com.
mittee seems 10 have used excellent
judgment refusing TO go to extremes at
either side. The exemptions of indi-
vidual incomes were reduced from
$4,000 to $4,000 in the case OF married
persons and from $4,000 to $1,000 for
the unmarried.
! For some months past an agitation
has been made for a confiscatory tax
on all incomes above 100000, the
arguments being that the very rich
should pay for the war II the poor
were to fight. The committee made n
compromise by fixing n tax at 80 Ia
Per cent on all incomes Of $500, 900 and
over. This Is not the war OF rich
men or poor men; 1t Is Il war Of all the
American people and burden must be
fairly laid.
There is no sound objection against
! doubling the tax on distilled spirits
and tobaccos as arranged under the
schedule. An increase in letter mail
| rates from &C to &c an ounce and postal
SatuS from &c 10 &C an ounce has been
fixed. This will be the war tax most
apparent to the people.
An added revenue OF sla. 00O, 900 will
be taken from newspapers under a new
system based upon the parcel post
zones.
II may be expected that the prices
will be raised on many articles taxed.
including automobiles. musical instra
ments. chewing gum and Jewelry.
Montanans who have found the
price the daily newspaper alone un-
changed with the rapidly rising high
cost Of living, should consider them
seievs fortunate. Few readers realize
that they get more for their money in
the newspaper than in in any other
form.

To the Editor OF The Muscular and
Sentinel:
was somewhat amazed to learn
that was being severely criticized by
some people in Missoula and vicinity
OF Missoula for having. what they
considered, audaci,y to even mention
TO our city council. ways and means to
eradicate some OF the infantile troubles
which. am sorry to say. are prevalen:
in our city. II some OF the people would
take the trouble. IL they considered It
such, to thoroughly investigate what
Is being accomplished in other cities
and towns and how successful they
were, they would not be so ready To
condemn. There Is little cause for these
infection diseases and l believe that
my past experience will allow me to
make the assertion that I could easily
find its origin. II had considered past
aud present conditions from a none
tary standpoint, l would probably have
remained silent. However. have al
ways considered one life saved far
above dollars and cents In conclusion,
should any further remarks be antas-
onistic to me Of what justly con-
slider for the best interests Of all con-
sidered. It will most certainly be is-
nored. 49, ia

would like to call your attention to
the fact that it Us well along in May
and the city has not made much es-
fort to start its usual spring clean up.
l realize that the late season has had
the effect of delaying this very neces-
sary performance and also that many
Of our citizens have been doing yeo.
man service with their gardens. It APP
pears to me, however, that as soon az
the gardens are in and before our
people get out of condition 1t might bo
a good idea to start on cleaning up
the town and cleaning it right.

THE BAD cKoP OUTLOOK.

The official wheat crop estimates
are in line with former forecasts which
have indicated pronounced shortage
in this country. The department OF
agriculture. on conditions May l. shows
the country's winter wheat yield at
36s.000.00O bushels, the smallest In
thirteen years. This situation in or.
binary times would be subject for
serious comment; this year It Is some-
thing bordering on disaster, since our
allies in war expect their supplies of
wheat from this country. Indeed there
is barely any other source for them
since the Argentina crop has failed.
while the Canadian crop will be con-
fined to the spring crop Of about e0o.-
100000 bushels.
The ray Of hope in the report is the
remembrance that in 1912 the winter
wheat crop fell to about 400. O0O. 900
bushels. the lowest In eight years, and
yet. notwithstanding this the total pro.
duction Of all crops in that year was
the largest recorded.
The most encouraging feature Of all
Is the energy that Is being shown
throughout the entire country in In.
creaslng food supplies OF every kind.
