PRONOUNCE 1T
IN TWO WAYS
ICantonment Need Not Have Any Ter
rors for You, It's Easy as Fall
Off ProverbiaI
Loo.

There are two correct ways, says
a state university authority, to pro-
nounce the word cantonment, which
until year or two ago was practical.
ly unheard Of by laymen but which
at present Is uttered daily in almost
every American household. In fact,
the Introduction and widespread Use
have come so suddenly that there Is
not as yet any agreement on it's pro-
nunciation.
1t may be pronounced canton
plus m-e-n-t, with the accent on the
first syllable: or 1t may be pronounc
ed c-a-n-t-o-o-n plus m-e-n-t, with the
accent on The t-o-o-n, which is pro-
nounced like moon. The French pro-
nunciation in which the second ana
last syllables are given nasal sound,
with the accent on the second syllable.
and the pronunciation in which the
20" in the second syllable is long, with
the accent also on the second syllable
seem to be without authority.
While there are two correct pro-
nunciations of this word, the univer-
sity man believes the former Will be
the more commonly accepted in
America because it is easier and ap-
pears more logical.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 6.-Bit-
luminous coal operators of Indiana, Hi
nofs. Ohio and western Pennsylvania
met in conference here today with
John P. White, president Of the United
Mine Workers of America and other
union representatives in an attempt to
reach an agreement on the demands OF
the miners for 'substantial' wage in
creases. Union officials refused to re-
veal exactly the extent of their de-
n,andS.
Failure of the operators to meet the
scale demanded will be followed by a
direct appeal of the miners to Presi-
dent Wilson, it was limited.
Operators went into the conference
prepared to insist that any increase in
pay to be granted should be added to
the bituminous coal prices fixed by
President Wilson.
Both operators and employees were
doubtful whether an agreement could
be reached today The immediate out
come of the session may be appoint
ment Of sma% committees by both
sides to fight out the issue and report

POTATO "DON'TS."

l. Don't injure the selling and
storing quality of your potatoes by
careless digging.
2. Don't glut the fall market
and injure your winter market by
placing large quantities of un-
graded stock on the market at
harvesting time.
3. Don't ship any frost-dam-
aged potatoes. 1t is disastrous.
4. Don't demoralize the already
overburdened transportation ia
cilities by shipping Gull potatoes.
Unless potatoes are extremely
high in price, Gull potatoes viii
not bring transportation charges.
5. Don't overlook the advan-
tages of machine STEERS" They
are proving of great value in many
shipping sections.
6. Don't expect machine sizers
to grade for quality-only human
hands can grade out the defective
tubers-
7. Don't mix No. and No 2
grade potatoes. There are Gus
toners who desire each separate
ly, but do not want them mixed.
8. Don't overlook the potato
grades recommended by the Unit
ed States department of agricul-
ture and the United States food
administration.

first batch of a much larger force to
be sent over in time to. see that the
resting places of England's sons are
Kept covered with blanket of grass

of girls whose brothers or sweethearts
lie buried behind the battletields of to-
day. Kew Garden is furnishing most
of the recruits.

WHY BREAD is
REASONABLE
England Has Government Control OF
Flour and Price is Not
Set by Any Bakers
Combine.
TBy Lowell Mellett, United Press
Staff Correspondent


Staff Correspondent
LONDON, Sept. 6.-Although de
pendent upon the United States for
wheat, the people of England are
paving less for their bread and flour
than are Americans.
Government control and govern
ment aid so bakers can make a
reasonable profit was the explanation
given the United Press by Lord
Rhonda, food controller of the en-
pire today.
From september II, England ex,
poets to spend S20O,OOO,O0o annually
to keep bread and -four prices reason
able.
"The British government has con.
trolled the entire imported wheat
trade since last October" Lord
Rhonda said, land since that time
has sold it practically at cost, rep
resenting the price as averaged over
purchases during the last eleven
months That price is considerably
lower than the present market price.
Apart from the normal peace
time difference in prices between
England and America, this probably
explains why 1t is that bread and
flour are sold here at lower prices
than in the United States.
Il understand wheat has not yet
been purchased on the American gov
ernment's account; therefore Ameri
can bread doubtless is selling at a
price corresponding with the present
wheat quotations. When the British
wheat commission commenced opera
lions this price was $1.S5 a bushel
Today it is $500.
I'VE have practically come to an
end of the benefits derived from
large government advance purchases
in the past, with the result that the
state now steps In to provide bread
at a price within the means Of our
poorer classes.
This state aid takes the form OF
subsidy. AS a result we will sup
ply our millers at a price enabling
them to provide the baker, after
September II, with flour from which
four pound loaf can be made ant
sold over the counter for maxi
mum price of IS cents-and the
baker will still make reasonable
profit
From other sources in the foot
control department today it was esti
mated that the government subsidy
mentioned by Lord Rhonda to pre-
serve bread and flour prices will
total $20O,000000 a year. Other max
imum prices fixed as effective after
September IT, are:
One pound loaf, five cents; two
pounds, nine cents. These prices are
an average reduction of twenty-five
percent over present rates.
