HOOVER NOTIFIES ALL
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR

Herbert C. Hoover, National Food
Administrator, has notified all Food
Administrators of wide and con-
certed effort to discredit the move
ment to conserve the meat and wheat
supply Of the nation, apparently in the
interest of purpose to raise the price
of meat.
According to dispatch received
from Mr.. Hoover statements that have
been appearing in Chicago newspap-
ers and widely calculated have enact
ed from parties interested in exploit
ing the sale of meat. These state
ments protest against wheatless and
meatless days as unnecessary sacri-
fices by the American public" Mr..
Hoover denounces these statements as
either malicious or prompted from
personal interest in an obvious effort
to raise price of meat. The dispatch
continues:
"The results from meatless days
have for the first time created suf-
ficient visible supply Of meat to allow
us partially to comply with the guam
titles requested by the allies for ship
ments during the month of December.
This should be matter of stats to the
entire American people showing that
their devotion in this matter has en-
abled us to resume our duties to the
Allies in this respect. Our endeavor
should be in no instance relaxed.
"As to the wheat we have exported
the whole of the surplus of the 1917
crop over and above normal demands
of our own population until the 1916
harvest. 1t is necessary for the Food
Administration to restrict the export
of wheat so as to retain in the United
States sufficient supplies to carry oul
own people until the next harvest.
Therefore all exports of wheat
from now on are limited to the volume
of saving made by the American peo
pie in consumption Of wheat and wheat
products. We are continuing whea
shipment for December as far as oul

The syncopated airs so entranced the
chief that he began to pat his feet on
the floor of the building, keenfre time
with the music. He remarked that at
was certainly some great music" and
stayed bit longer for new roll to be
played. When he went back to his ma
chine the prisoners We're gone.
Immediately the chief went through
other syncopated motions. not to the
tune of the music. He searched all over
the camp for the two men, who DELHI
erateiy walked away from the car, but
they had evidently made good use of
their time.
Il didn't think they would do that"

The boys began new kind OF a mon

drill field and the boys were told by
their officers that it was Jolly" good fun
to balance themselves on the horses,
| tumble over their backs, run after the
half-scared creatures, leap on their backs,
one, two or three men on one animal.
They did the tumbling in every sense
of the word. Some performed neat roll
| overs landing on their feet, while others
just plain tumbled-hitting the ground in
every imaginable position. Some soldiers
even tumbled without ever touching a
horse. for the latter proved very efficient
in the game of side-stepping.
Shown How Trick Is Done.
DO 1t like this" said a lieutenant. as
he performed a neat back turn over a
horse.
When the next private essayed to dupli-
cate the trick the animal broke loose
from the men who held the halter and
the soldier was carried away from the
group Of men, sprawled all over the ami
mails back.
Nevertheless It was good fun, accord

went to know when the next monkey"

The confer ence was held at the Isaac Folsom clinic, Second and sherman streets.
 All those present approved the idea. but deferred action pending an investt- gation as to whether the action would be legal.
 It was suggested that the clinic be converted into the State Charity Hos pital as a beginning. It was said that the old hospital could be repaired so that two additional wards could be installed, furnishing facilities for about 100 patients The Isaac Fol som clinic was constructed at a cost of $25 900 and was donated to the state It was suggested that Gov eruor Brough issue an emergency proclamation to provide $30,000 for the purpose of euqipping the clinic as a hospital It was said that the $50. 900 could be secured by selling the .tate-owned land west of the Deaf Mute Institute. This land was given to the fund for the establishment of the State Charity Hospital by an act of the last legislature.
 Frank Pace, a member of the Board of Trustees of the University of Ark ansas. was requested to examine the act of the legislature creating the State General Hospital to ascertain whether the proposed plan would be legal.

 Chairman Garfield said the commit tee probably would reach decision making recommendation to Presi- dent Wilson but not attempting to fix prices itself
 When the committee went into ses- sion it was expected the price of wheat would be fixed immediately. Somewhere there has airsen snag No member of the committee will speak Of the deliberations. however.
 Members of the committee repre- senting the producers have announced they will issue separate statement. and it is possible they will make sep arate recommendations 10 President Wilson.
 In the light Of this announcement IL WAS believed that the deadlock had been caused by general favor Of price too low to suit the producers.
