now more optimistic as to the result.
The primary movement is light for
the season and transactions in cash
wheat are limited. Shipments abroad
from this country have beencmfwyp
from this country have grown light,
but advices indicate that Australia and
India have liberal quantities for ex-
port, and the crop prospect in the Ar
gentine is good.
Flour-The volume of flour trade is
still far short of what it usually is
at this time of the year. Both sellers
and buyers are waiting to hear from
Washington, d. c., and there is wide
difference of opinion as to what will
be the outcome; some believe that Mr..
Hoover will eventually put a max
imum as. well as the minimum price,
and others that the government will
assume entire control of the market
ing of wheat and the distribution of
flour. Most buyers have little stock
on hand and are simply drifting along
waiting for developments. Millers re-
port the flour market veering around
into conditions that may be called
more favorable for them.
Feed-There is little change in the
millfeed situation compared with a
week ago, except that bids are draw
ing closer to asking prices. Offerings
are still light, with no prospects of in
creasing in the near future. Hay has
advanced, timothy being up 81 at $50
and alfalfa SO at s25.

BLUE SERGE EVER FAITHFUL
Matter What New Things May
Come From the Loom.

No matter what new and desirable
things come out of the looms, dark
blue cloth under several names holds
the attention and the affection of
class of women who prefer to go along
the path they know rather than try
q new one.
1t is every woman's experience that
well-built suit of serge or its young
er sister, gaberdine, goes through the
season and usually begins the next
one with more satisfaction to the
wearer than all the other garments
she has In her possession. She may
call 1t her emergency suit or consider
1t in the second best class, but when
the day of experiments is over she
finds the blue cloth her faithful ally,
says the New York Evening Sun.
The strictly mannish jacket does
not suit every mind, however it may
suit every figure, and the dressmak-
ers have brought out a number of new
ideas that appeal to the class who fret
over too much severity. These women
declare that they delight in the plain
garment but that's a theory, not a
fact, for the dressmaker cannot keep
them to the straight and narrow way
in clothes, no matter how much per-
suasion she brings to bear.
There are ways, however, of achieve
ing the effect of femininity as opposed
to masculinity in a jacket without APP
plying color or a different fabric. 1t
can be done by master hand in the
artistic manipulation of material.

MINING NOTES

Milling operations are to be COM
menced at the Emerald mine at Iron
Mountain, near Sheep creek, just as
soon as mill can be installed, says
a Nelson (B. CO. report. The plant
has been purchased by John Valid
beser, manager of the Emerald, from
company having a mine at Chesaw,
Wash, and is to be shipped as soon
as it can be loaded on cars.
The Conjecture mine, at Lakeview,
Idaho, has been bought by Bob Ma
bry & Co. of this city for a price
reported to be 100000 from the es-
tate of the late Colonel William Rid
path and other interests. The prop
erty, which is silver producer, with
some lead values, has a record for
production and will be developed to
a point of important response at
once.
The Federal Mining & Smelling

declared its regular quarterly divi-
dend of $4,000 this week, according
to report. This is at the rate of 134
per cent. Disbursement will be made

WHEAT SHORTAGE
THE WORLD OVER
AMERICA MUST PROVIDE CEREAL
TO FILL HUGE DEFICIT
OF THE ALLIES.
SUPPLIES CUTOFF MATERIALLY
by Saving Pound of Flour Weekly
Reduce Privations of Allies
Who Must Import Grain.

MISUNDERSTANDING the United
States and it's allies face a wheat de-
ficit of 4O0, 100000 bushels unless new
economies are introduced Herbert
Hoover appeals again to the American
people to eliminate waste and to con-
serve wheat by substituting other
cereals. A saving of one pound OF
wheat flour week for every person,
he declared, would go far toward
solving the food question.
"The allies" said Mr.. Hoover in a
formal statement, ARE isolated from
those markets, other than Canada and
the United States, on which they were
accustomed to rely before the war.
The Russian supply cannot be got
out Bulgarian and Rumanian supplies
are in the hands of the central empires
The voyage from Australia and India
is three times as long and therefore
requires three times as many tons of
shipping as is required from North
Atlantic ports. There has been a
large failure in the South American
countries.
"All the allied countries are rigor-
ously administering and economizing
their food. But the allies are unable
to use other cereals alone for bread
They can use them only as added to
wheat flour to make the war bread
now in universal use in European
countries.
1.-The deficit of 400,OOO,000 bushels
can be at least partially overcome II
we can increase our exports from
SS.0O0,00O to 100000. This can be
accomplished if we will substitute one
pound of other cereals for one pound
of wheat flour weekly per person
that is, if we reduce our consumption
of wheat flour from five pounds pei
week to four pounds per week pei
person.
1T will be no privation to us anc
will reduce the privations of oul
allies"
Shows Deficit
France, Italy, the United Kingdom
and Belgium. Mr.. Hoover estimated
must import during the next IL months
$4,000 ,000bushels of wheat and GA,
100000 bushels of other cereals t.
meet normal consumption require
ments. Against this is balanced al
estimated wheat surplus of SS,000,O00
bushels in the United States and 1870
10000 bushels in Canada and a sur
plus of other cereals totaling $4,000
600 bushels in the United States ant
119,000,000 bushels in Canada.
These figures alone represent
wheat deficit of 369,000,000 bushels
but in addition it is pointed out tina
the United States must reserve par
of her supply for neutrals furnishing
this country vital supplies, and mus
also protect its reserve stocks, bring
ing the total deficit up to about 400
100000 bushels.
while this situation is one o
great difficulty and concern" said tn
food administrator, sit must be me
and met by elimination of waste an
reduction in wheat consumption an
proper substitution on the part O
the allied people and ourselves; i
one word, by an effective admin
stration of the available supply"

There has never been a bolder at
tempt to invade the prerogatives Of
the nations chief executive and the

by Senator Weeks Of Massachusetts,
and Congressman Madden of Illinois.
Each Of these patriots has introduced
a resolution providing for a Joint
Committee of Congress on Conduct
Of the War" 1t is to be made up of
four Democratic and two Repub-
Hcan senators and three Democratic
and three Republican congressman.
It shall make a special study of the
problems arising out of the war, shall
confer and advise with the president
and heads of the various depart
ments and shall report to congress.
1t shall have power to send for per-
sons and papers, summon and COM
pei the attendance Of witnesses, etc.
In other words, it is proposed to
hObble the president of the United
States, the secretaries of war, navy
and state, the generals of the army
and the admirals of the navy. They
are to do their very urgent work in
the greatest crisis in the nations his

BEAUTY. - Beauty is a human
need-as much as bread and air.
Without beauty man can exist, but
he can scarcely live.
without beauty, life is dwarfed,

You couldn't buy it with the great

You might buy pictures, but unless
pictures are bought with taste they

You don't need to travel to far
countries to find beauty.

WORK FOR INTERNED SAILORS.
Germans May Labor for Sake of
Exercise.

The Department of Labor is consider
ing. from purely humanitarian stand
point, what to do with the crews taken
from the German merchant ships in
American harbors.
They are big. husky fellows. and
they would be more comforta BILE doing
something than just sitting around
doing nothing" said an official. who
declared that this is the sole basis for
any desire on the part of the United
States government to use the crews of
the ships seized.
The immigration service, under whose
Offices the 1856 German officers and
sailors are being held, is CONDUCTING e
an investigation as to the possible
work the men could do. Farming has
been suggested. Labor officials Were
emphatic in stating that if such
work were decided upon for the sailors

National Anthem Adopted.

The history Of the flag. in some de-
tail. has also been elected by our corre
spondents. In the early days of the
American revolution each state used its
own flag. In HI the Stars and Stripes
were adopted as a national emblem. At
first il was provided that new star and
new stripe be added for each new state
but the rapid extension of the country
made this so inconvenient that in 1918
il was decided to go back to the thirteen
stripes and add one star for every new
state.
The stars and bars is the name applied
to the flag of the Confederate states of
America. The first Confederate flag was
presented by c. Z. Dickson to President
Barry of the secession convention of 1861.
The Union flag was not altered during the
civil war: the stars representing the Sc
ceding states were retained.
1t is said that the design of the Amer
ican flag was borrowed from the coat Of
arms of the Washington family, SO that

No Stringent Laws on Flag.

II Is strange fact that there are no
stringent federal laws concerning the use
OF the flag. although thirty eight of the
states have laws bearing upon it There
is federal law to prevent the use of the
flag for advertising purposes. An inclu-
sive law to prevent the desecration of the
nag has been introduced into Congress.
Several such laws have passed the House
ana several the Senate. but no one law
has passed both the House and the Sen
ate.
There are three standard sizes for the
nag provided by War Department regu-
iation These are the garrison flag. which
IS thirty eight by twenty feet: the post
flag, which is nineteen by ten feet. and
the storm flag, which is nine and e-half
by five feet. Old government flags are
sent by the Quartermasters department
TO Philadelphia. where they are shredded.

his nationality in this country. he must
raise the flag of the United States above,
not below, it.
