eously, however, of statements that
the civilian population of Reval, the
Russian naval base on the Gulf Of
Finland, is being removed to the in
terror, suggests that the decision was
not uninfuenced by the German
threat against Petrograd, now being
developed in the naval and military
operations in the Gulf of Riga and
northward.
Removal Contemplated.
Previous suggestions that the re-
moval of the government to Moscow
had been contemplated had reference
not only to the military situation, but
to the assumption that the govern
ment might be freer to pursue its
work in Moscow than in the present
capital, where extremists influences
are powerful and turbulence more diff

Jefferson Disabled

The s. s. Jefferson arrived ear ly Thursday morning, thirty six hours behind schedule. This de- lay was due to an accident re- sulting ina broken crank shaft. After transferring northbound mail to the Spokane at Ketchikan she proceeded to Wrangell where she discharged all freight for this port.
 A committee consisting of Captains Burlington and Crosby, and M. Katzenmeyer surveyed the vessel and estimated the dam age. The report being unfavor- able she returned to Ketchikan under slow steam. From that point she will be lowed to Seattle where she will enter dry dock. As repairs will be extensive she will not sail on the date next scheduled but will leave July 19, for SkagWay.

Friends of Staff-Captain and Mrs. Smith gave an evening in their honor at St. Philips Gym nasium, Friday at S:30. About sixty persons took this occasion to wish the Smiths safe voyage and prosperous future, all of the family being present except little Robert who was i'll and not able to attend.
 In behalf of those present Rev. Corser made a brief address in presenting the Captain with a beautiful album of Alaska views, and Mrs. Smith, with a handsome Indian basket. The recipients were surprised and touched tho both expressed thanks in a be- coming manner.
 An informal program was ar ranged. Mrs. c. G. Burnet de- lighted the company with a read ing and Mrs. M. o. Johnson sang unusally well. Both ladies re- sponded with encores which were duly appreciated by the audience.
 Coffee and cake were served later in the evening and many joined in few familiar songs be- fore the party adjourned.

BETTER SANITATION NEEDED
IN THE RURAL SCHOOLS

In the interests Of efficiency and
health there is increasing necessity for
the application of scientific medical
and sanitary knowledge to the admin
i~stration of the public schools, in the
opinion of the public health service.
In general, the faults observed in
rural schools, the annual report of the
service declares, are due to a lack of
skilled advice, especially in regard to
the location, construction and equip
ment of school buildings and disre-
gard of sanitary principals governing
water supplies, the disposal of sew
age, ventilation, temperature, illumi-
nation, and the arrangement of school
desks and b~lackboards. During the
past fiscal year surveys have been
made in rural districts of several
states and many thousand school chill
dren have been examined. These X
aminations have included thorough
testing of the eyes by competent ocu-
lists, tests of mental capacity, and
the effect of sanitary environment or
school progress, as we'll as inspections
for the customary physical defects.
The conclusion is reached that there
is great need for improvement in rural
schools and that communities them
selves will benefit if conditions are
bettered, the schools serving as OBJ
ject lessons for surrounding sections.
Conditions in country districts have
been found below those in the cities
and it is apparent that organized
health work has largely been confined
to the latter. Considered from a san
itary standpoint alone the public
health service is in favor Of the con
solidation of rural schools, since it
must eventually result in the provid-
ing of better buildings and the or
ganization of systems of efficient
sanitary inspections.

DOCTORS and DRUGGISTS ,
ARE NEEDED IN ARMY
Twenty Thousand Doctors Need
ed; Only Five Thousand
Offered Services.

There is no branch Of the military
service more important than that
which has to do with the health of
the soldiers. This is recognized in
the customs Of armies, as is shown by
the fact that when the commanding
officer of an army wishes to camp
in a certain place and the medical Of
ficer, however much his junior, be-
lieves another spot preferable, he can
make his superior move the camp un-
less in the vicinity of the enemy, the
commanding officer pleaded military
necessity" But important as this
branch of the service is, it is found
now that a large army is in process
of formation, that there is likely to
be a shortage of $4,000 medical Off
GERS. With an army of 2,0O0,0 900 men,
10000 physicians are required under
our system, and but 5000 of them
have volunteered. Less than n
seventh of the physicians of the coun-
try are needed even under full pre-
paredness, but it does not seem pos
sibe to get that fraction into the
army.
The conditions in respect to the
pharmaceutical service of the army
are even worse. Pharmacy has been
said to be the right arm of medicine,
and yet if pharmacists desire to
serve their country they must enlist
as privates. There are no commits
stoned pharmacists, the pharmaceuti-
cal work being done by %sergeants
These sergeants are taught by the
medical officers who are themselves
not pharmacists. These sergeants are
expected to do pharmaceutical work
chemical work, X-ray work, sanitary
work and anesthetic work.
The organizations of druggists ii
the United States have been trying
for years to have this condition rene
died, but with no success In view o.
the shortage of physicians in thu
army, the necessity of pharmacists il
the more apparent, for there is un

little additional training could b.

The average annual consumption of
wheat is 6.5 bushels for each person in
the United States. With 100000, 900
people this that it requires ESQ.,
OOO, 900 bushels of wheat to meet the
requirements each year.
The crop of 1915 amounted to near
ly 1000, 600, 900 bushels. This was
sufficient to feed the people of the
United States, to export $50, OOO, 900
and to carry over upwards Of 1OO,-
00O. 900 bushels into 1915. The crop
Of 1916 amounted to 640,OOO,O 900 BUSH
els. This was less than the home con-
sumption but the shortage was not
felt because of the heavy carry-over
from the previous crop. With the
high price and the pressing demand
for wheat, the export to Europe dur
ing 1916 was heavy, which, combined
with the short crop of that year, left
the supply on hand very short by the
present spring.
The needs Of the situation, combined
with the very attractive prices, led to
heavy fall wheat paintings in the fall
of 1916. 1t was confidently expected
that the fall wheat which would be
harvested this year would yield be.
tween 100000, 900 and 7oO,OOO,0 0C
bushels. The spring reports, which
have later been confirmed, indicate
that less than 4O0, 900, 900 bushels Of
winter wheat will be harvested thi:
year. Very serious winter killing ii
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa ane
some of the other winter wheat state:
reduced the crop in most alarming
fashion. When we remember that las
year the crop was short and that tn,
amount in storage is very low, we cal
see just how serious the losses from
winter killing with winter wheat are
The shortage in wheat due to thes
winter losses must be made up in tn
spring wheat crop grown this year. Il
1916 the spring wheat crop of tn
United States amounted to $50, OOO,O 90
bushels. If the crop Of 1917 is of tn
same proportions, we will this yea
harvest less than 550, 1000. 900 bushels
which is 100, 1000 900 bushels below GU
requirements. Not only will we be un
able to send any wheat to our allie
in the great war, but we will be ur
able to feed the people of America o
a proper basis. This very seriou
wheat shortage was one Of the imme
diate reasons for urging maximum
paintings this spring. Upwards of 8
per cent of the spring wheat Of tn
United States is raised in the state
of Minnesota, North Dakota, Sout
Dakota, Montana and Washington
