SKATER PRICES
Influx of Fresh Vegetables
Stops HOarders' Rush.
New Crop Garden Truck Cheap
er Than Canned Goods.

Chicago, April 21-The anomaly of
grocers selling fresh vegetables at re-
tail considerably below prices quoted
for the canned counterparts of the
same products was presented in this
market today and many dealers pre-
dicted that the next few days would
see a lowering of prices and a halt in
the scramble to hoard certain staple
foodstuffs which has prevailed recent
ly among householders. The arrival
of the first spring vegetables has
brought about this condition and ac-
cording to Sol Westerfield, vice pres
ident of the National Retail GrocerS'
association, there is every indication
that a downward price trend will ex-
tend over all vegetables and fruits.
''Hoarders of these products prob
ably will find their heavy recent pur-
chases were anything but bargains"
said Mr.. Westerfield.
Among the fresh products which
sold today at retail below the price Of
remnants, canned and otherwise of
last years crop, were fresh green
and green peas. The situation as re-
CARDS potatoes was considered by deal
ers even more optimistic. Normally
new potatoes here are about 100 per
cent above current quotations for old
stock. Today, however, new potatoes
were offered at 81 a bushel, or an ad-
vance of only 20 per cent over the cur
rent quotation of $685. on old potatoes.
Increase Poultry Yield.
The increase in the acreage planted
to vegetables in Cook county this year
will be probably 500 per cent over
normal, according TO recent estimates
A nationwide campaign to increase
the production of chickens by 1907
100000 pounds in the next year was
launched at a meeting of the AmerI-
can Poultry association yesterday.
Representatives of seventeen states
were present.

INSURANCE IN WAR
Kansas Commissioner Explains Provi-
sions in Policies.

one of the first things that occurs
to a young man after he is over the
excitement of being mustered into the
service of his country is the question
of lust what is going to happen to his
insurance poIicy-if he has one.
Not one in a dozen can say without
a trim to the office of the local insur
ance company what arrangements
they have in their particular line of
insurance regarding his engaging In
the fighting business.
Out of the four hundred insurance
companies doing business in Kansas,
more than twenty already have MED
notices with the superintendent of in
surance of war riders" or extra pen
alties for those enlisting in the service
MANY insurance companies, eX-
planned A. ]. Dryden, actuary of the
state insurance office, have already
claim to provide for this very emer
gency and have protected themselves
with increased rates for soldiers en-
listing. On the other hand. some old
line companies have found themselves
tied up by explicit statements con-
tanned in their policies ito the effect
that there will be no additional charge
or penalty while the person named in
the policy shall stay within the con-
fines of the United States.
still others provide that policy
holders shall not enlist within ten
years after taking out said policy with
out first notifying the company if he
enlists, but after that time he Is eX
empt from extra penalty.
Several old line companies con-
tanning the no restriction clause will
not be able to file extra rates. Fra
ternal certificates are subject to any
bylaw the company sees fit to add.
Old line companies are better able to
meet this additional casualty liability
because of their large surplus reserve.
Excessive commissions to increase
business of the newly organized COM
panies render them in no condition to
meet this as well as the low rate some
of them have offered"

WILD WEEK IN WHEAT
Wide Fluctuations Culminate in Total

Chicago. April 21.-Rapid and con-
tinuors sweeping price changes IN
the wheat market this week have eX-
ceeded all precedent. Despite abol1-
tion of Canadian duties on wheat and
Notwithstanding an appeal by the
secretary of agriculture that congress

aggregate to l9,300,00o bushels less

that export interests were buying and

large scale gave a sensational upturn
to the wheat market Wednesday. Fur
Their advances ensued Thursday and

Corn and provisions were governed

PARENTS TO BLAME
Motherless Boys and Girls Cause Trou-
BILE in Probate Court.

1t is the motherless boys and girls
and those with divorced parents who
provide full days for the probation
officer. Some trouble comes from
children with both parents living and
living together, but that makes up
only a small part of the days work.
Miss Eva Corning, county probation
officer. looked after twenty hayward
girls during February and March and
seven of them had no mothers. Eight
of them had divorced parents. Only
five came from families where the pa
rents were living together.
During the same period twelve boys
were given attention and when Miss
Corning investigated she found that
six of them have no mothers. In a
few instances the mothers work all day
and have little time to give their chill
dren.
OF the twenty Maynard girls who
appeared before Miss Corning two
were returned to the Girls Industrial
school, from which they had been pa
rolled, three were committed to that
school and the others were given the
protection and restraint of the juve-
nile court.
There were sixteen more girls before
Miss Corning during the two months.
THE sixteen needed advice" said
MISS Corning. They needed protec-
ton from environments mostly caused
by poverty, divorce or poor social sur
roundings. These girls have been
helped, according to reports of parents
and friends. Four little girls whose
mothers were dead were given tenn
porary homes to relieve and help the
fathers until they are more favorably
situated

HITS AT PEACE TALK
German Paper Brands 1t First Sign
of Flabbiness."

Amsterdam. April PA bitter at
tack on the advocates of a COM
promise with Russia and other peace
propagandists is made by the Chau-
whistle Hamburger Nachrichten. in
an editorial which is headed Mass
lfalten," which may be translated, as
easy there" The Nachricten declaims
against the adequacy of what it terms
the first sign of flabbiness.
After referring to mysterious Wen
ma dispatches about peace, and Count
Czernin's statement with reference to
a conference of belilgerents the paper
asks
why in the world these paeans of
affection addressed to the provisional
government at Petrograd? What is
this talk about the identity of Russian
and German aims; no anneXations;
nations living together in n peace
honorable to both sides and this flap
doodle about the excuse offered to
Petrograd by the Nord Deutsche All
gemeine Zeitung over our victory on
the Stokhod"
s The Nachrichten adds:
The semi-official utterances are
bound to arouse uneasiness among the
German people. Our war aims are
very clearly defined in the east. An
autonomous Poland is not sufficient
Courland must never return under
Russian sway The German people
must ask the government what it
means by identity of Russian and
German aims"

STILL NO AUTHORITY
Capper's Request for Mill Guards Is
Preferred

Military red tape today confronted
Kansas millers who have appealed to
the federal war department for de-
tail of national guardsmen to patrol
mill and elevator property in this
state A request sent to Newton D.
Baker, secretary of war, has, been re-
ferred to General Barry, in charge of
the central division of the national
guards. Now the matter is back where
it started a week ago.
Last week mi1lers in Topeka, Kan
sas City and other towns appealed
to Governor Capper for a detail of
national guardsmen to protect their
property. The matter was checked up
to General Barry without formal &C
ton. Then Governor Capper sent a
telegram to Secretary Baker. Today
the secretary of war stated that the
request had been submitted to General
Barry.
Unrest was felt by Kansas mil1ers
when reports were received of trouble
in Minneapolis and other northern
milling town. The miliers asked pro-
lection for their flour and grain and
sought to secure military protection
Kansas national guardsmen, however,
have not been called to mobilization
by the war department. Requests for
consignment OF small attachments for
patrol duty have received little en-
couragement. Now there is an indi-
cation that the Kansas guards will
not be disturbed until the entire mil
itary strength of the state is required

large portion of the munition workers
has been affected. There are reports
of a new strike ia Essen and Magde
burg is the site of an important
branch of the great Krupp establish

the fact that Field Marshal Won Hin

crimes against the fighting forces.
Big Strike in Berlin.
Amsterdam, April 21-Twenty
thousand munitions workers in Ber-
lin and Spandau are out on a general
strike today in protest against reduc-
ton of the bread ration, according to
latest information from Germany.
Scores of conflicting rumors as to
the strike-including a number of re-
ports of great violence accompanying
riots in various cities reached here
today.
A great force of strikers is said to
have revolted at Magdeburg and tried
to burn public buildings. According
to this report, troops were called out
to restore order and in clashes with
the rioters had killed and wounded
several, the city now being in a state
of siege.
More Food Strikers Cry.
Reports from Dusseldorf declared
a meeting of strike delegates in Berlin
has rejected a proposition advanced
by some of their leaders demanding
that the German government immed-
lately renOunce any intention OF an
nexation in the war, abolish compul-
sorry service and institute at once

to the German reports. Workers ap-
parently have seized upon this as not
only a logical time in which to eX-
press their demand for more food and
more equitable distribution by the
government, but to press demands for
more pay and reduction in hours.
That Germany's leaders recognize
the seriousness of the general strike
and hint that it may be more grave
than reports here have indicated, was
evidenced today in an appeal which
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg was
said to have dispatched to General
Groener. chief of the munitions
branch, urging that every strike.

an unjustifiable weakening of our de-
fensive forces and is an inexcusable
crime against the fighting forces, es-

News of Strike Suppressed.
Extraordinary efforts are apparent
ly being made by the German govern
ment to restore order and to suppress
news of the internal situation. Two
days ago the government let it be
known thru official news channels
that the strike was settled"

Friction Apparent Due to Over
tapping Jurisdiction.
FOOD PROBLEM ILLUSTRATION
"HOOyer Not To Be Dictator; /
AM" Says Houston.
Three Distinct Agencies Now
Plan Food Probe.
BY CARL ID. GROAT.

Washington. April 21.-America
may have to centralize her govern
ment further for war times, just as
England and France have done.
The reason for this. in the view of
many here. is that at present many
administrative duties are overlapping
if not actually conflicting.
The food situation is 4 striking eX-
ample of the problem before the gov
eminent. Three distinct agencies are
discussing it. or wanting to probe it to
the bottom--the agriculture depart
ment. the federal trade commission
end the National Council of Defense.
That there may be just a trace of
friction in these three divergent ele
ments was indicated by the remark of
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
when asked if Herbert Hoover, acting
for the national council, would be in
charge of the food Investigations.
why, L thought the secretary of
agriculture would be in charge"
Houston replied.
Crosses Presidents.
Many have thought that Hoover
was to have n sort of food Dictator
ship-but he won't, if Houston's ideas
are correct.
Another instance of where the gov
eminent branches apparently fail to
team together fully is indicated from
the fact that Sunday, President Will
son appealed to the country for its
service and to practice economy. A
few days later, Howard Coffin, of the
National Council of Defense, issued d
statement explaining what kind of
economy to practice and critically say
ing Don't practice extraordinary
economy"
REPORTS are current that some OF
the government branches are not en-
tIrely pleased at the National Council
of Defense with its necessarily diver
gent views represented by men
from many walks of life.
In The circumstances, there is .alk
here today that something may have
to he done to give a broader central
control-for the war only France,
a great republic, finds herself highly
centralized and the upsh4t in this
country may be the same.
