I'VE made an even more radical de-

it came to making up the list of news
papers in which the ads should run.
For we decided upon the medium in
each city by the standard of cleanli-
ness 1t held for its advertising col

I'VE confess our surprise in dscov-
ering that in most cities it was less a
matter of choosing the cleanest paper
than one of choosing the least dirty.
That made us all the more determined

for the board. gave the board mem
beers some pointers which would make
the work easy for all concerned. He
said that some of the boards had left
dates off the notices sent out to the

work necessary in order TO determine

He pointed out that the District board
was given more discretion under the

appeals saying it had authority to
grant more time where a good reason
was given by the man for not filing his
papers on time.

SUPERIOR RETURNS
T0:THE WET COLUMN
License Supporters Carry the
Election By a Majority of
1872 Votes.

After nine months under a lax dry
regime, Superior citizens voted at the
election last Tuesday to return to the
system of licensed saloons by a ma
jority of 1872 votes. The change from
a dry to a wet Superior will take
place on July i, when sixty licenses
will be issued.
The vote was considerably heavier
than in 1916, when there were 1850
dry votes and 1888 for license.
BY wards the voting was divided
each side having ,majorities in out
Of the IA precincts, but the over
whelming total in both precincts Of
the Fourth ward sent the victory to
the vets. In the First precinct the
vets won by majority Of 222 votes
and in the Second precinct by 2O1.
The largest majority obtained by
the drys was in the Fifth ward, which
has the largest number of registered
voters Of any precinct in the city,
where their lead was 1872 votes.
In addition to the liquor election,
supervisors were elected in the vari-'
Gus wards. In only six Of the wards
were there any contests. =

Food Commission.
Farmers are not going to raise SO
much food that the market will be
glutted and prices dropped below the
cost of production and Of marketing.
They want fair days pay for fair
days work, the same as anyone else.
But a federal commission which may
be created to deal with this problem
might guarantee the farmer a. GER
tain price for each crop, delivered at
the nearest shipping point, and
through a system of market Informal
tion such as the Department of Agri-
culture has in recent years been
building up, 1t could itself market the
crop where the need was most evil
dent. The SYSTEM worked out by the
California Orange Growers Cooper
ative association, which does away
with any possibility of overstocking
any market, could be adopted. In
any case, there is no good reason for
failure by the present session of
congress to organize the food supply
of the United States to head off the
threatened famine.
The better the marketing scheme
OF the government, the fewer middle
men would handle the crops, and the
cheaper would be the cost added to
the food after It left the Farm.

BY Special Correspondent,

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Some-
thing more serious than even wages
and hours must be taken up by the
American labor movement in connec-
ton with the schemes of industrial
moblllzation" now filling the press.
Hunger for the whole nation.-except
the lew, rich-is waiting just around
the corner, according to agricultural |
experts in government service. Food
prices, already high, are going stead
1ly higher. Watch the recent sky
rocketing of pork and of wheat, and
guess the result in another year if the
present unfavorable outlook for this
years wheat crop holds true.~.
The fact is, wages must be rapidly
advanced, in all trades, or the prices
or food must be controlled, or the
American wage-earner must eat less
food; he and his wife and children
must be underfed. Food prices are
going beyond his reach. The ordi-
nary force of supply and demand will
send them higher. Wages must go
up at once, or this country will wit
ness food riots of the most serious
(character within the present year.
Here is statement from the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, in the United
State Department of Labor:
II dollars worth Of food, bought
In 1907, weighed the market basket
pared with 1907, according to the in
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1917-04-07
CNGkESS MUST CONTROL THE SUPPLY and DISTRIBUTION OF FOO

vestigations Of this bureau.
Despite an average increase Of 10
per cent in wages per hour in the
same period, and reduction in hours
worked of per cent, the rising cost
OF foods has operated to cut the pay
of the American workingman about
16 per cent expressed in terms of food
his wages will buy. A workingman
who made SO day in 1907, working
ten hours, in 1916 worked nine hours
and thirty-six minutes a day and
drew $3.40 for it; but it cost him
$4.17 to buy the same quantity of
feed his SO would have covered in
1907; so he really was 50 cents worse
off,"
The bureau Of labor statistics
gathers figures on food prices from
46 leading cities of the country, and
1t gathers figures. on union wages
from 4S cities. In these cities live
about one-flfth of tho population of
the United States. It finds that 1.-THE
abnormal increase in food prices
shown in 1916 is still further in
creased in January (1917) to Sc per

deal with this food question. It is
proven that the wages of the average
laborer increased in just about the
some proportion as the cost OF food
Increased, up to 1915. Then the war
conditions began to tell. Food sup
plies formerly produced in Europe
were lacking. America began to ex-
port her food, at high prices offered
by British and French and Italians.
American workingmen had to bid
against the wartime hunger and des-
paration of Europe, and they did not
have government war-chests behind
their bids. Europe is getting the
food: American workers are getting
the high prices. And the serious part
OF 1t is only Just beginning.
The answer, so far as anyone has
found one, seems to be either to for
bid further exports of food, thereby
starving the British and French and
other European peoples now helpless,
or to stimulate the production and
regulate the distribution Of food in
this country. It is highly unlikely
that an embargo on food exports will
be declared. \ It is quite likely that
congress will take some steps, during
the new session, to create a. federal
control OF food supply and of food
stake, and the farmers who must be
paid for their work in producing the
distribution. The details of any such
plan must be worked out by the

SCHOOL DRILL BILL
Superintendent of Mill City
Schools and Others Say
It Is Wrong.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April s.
Opposition to compulsory military
training in high schools as proposed
in a bill by Senator G. H. Sullivan, is
entered by School Superintendent B.
B. Jackson Of Minneapolis. Superin-
tendent Jackson has the unanimous
backing Of the Minneapolis Board Of
Education in opposing the bill.
my opposition is not based on a.
dislike for military training as SUCH"
said Mr.. Jackson, "but military mon
and educators the country over agree
such training accomplishes nothing
tangible except distaste for military
life. There is neither time nor oppor-
tunity to give it with thoroughness
The National Educational association
is on record against it. The plan as
tried in wyoming has been declared
by military men to be a farce"
Mr.. Jackson said he would much
prefer to see physical training in high
schools extended, so that when the
boys leave school they are better fitted
to take up military or civil pursuits.
Dr.. C. H. Keene, director Of hygiene
and physical training, said that If
military training is to be exacted from
high school boys it should be exacted
of all boys of high school age. whether
working or attending school.
