MILLING
CONTROL PLAN
now CHANGED.
Hoover Fixes. Fair Prices
for Every Point in
u. S. i

The United States Food Adminis-
tration's so-caIled temporary plan OF
fiour-milling profit control. which was
made effective July ]. fs now being
superseded by plan which 10 ex-
pected to be permanent throughout
the 1s1s-1sis crop-year. with possibly
some notifications under special cir
cumstances.
The temporary plan established
flour prices at seaboard points. and
local prices were worked out from
these by deducting freight. The new
plan established definite fair prices
at every mill point in the United
Seates.
These price schedules will give the
price for -four and various kinds OF
mill feeds that are considered by the
Food Administration as fair for sales,
on cash or draft payment prices.
In carload lots bulk. at the mill.
However, II is expected that compe-
tition will. very often result In lower
prices than the so-called fair price
schedule.
To Figure Fair Prices.
A list OF fthese prices at several
points Of the country Is given be-
low. To find what may be considered
a fair price, from the consumers
standpoint, It is necessary to add to
these prices the cost of packages,
which for -four at the present time
averages approximately IS cents per
barrel where -four Is shipped in 9s
pounds or larger sacks, with cost OF
other containers running as high as
$255 a barrel over the bulk price
where -four Is shipped Ia small rack
ages. such as two-pound cotton
sacks. Feed sacks are today costing
equivalent to $3.50 to IS per ton OF
feed.
Also to find the delivered cost Of
flour in carload lots, It is necessary
to add the freight from the milling
point, which I'm carload lots from
Minneapolis to New York at the pres
ent time IS 60 cents per barrel. and.
of course, there are similar or rela-
tive freight rates between other points
of the country. When sales are made
by mills In smaller that carload
quantities. II Is considered fair by
the Food Administration that addi-
tional charges be made, because Of
the additional cost of handling the
smaller sales and shipments. namely
sales IN less than carload lots, 50
cents per barrel on flour, AMI sales to
individual consumers by mills sl.2o per
barrel.
A jober Is reported to sell at not
more than Is to 50 cents over. the de-
livered cost to him. and the retailer
at not more than s1.2O over the price
which he pays for the -four.

GERMANS FEED

Fully Equipped American
Force Early Next Cen
tury,'' Say Hun Papers.

Amsterdam, July 22.-That the
German people are still being red
lies about Americas unpreparedness
for war and inability to send a sig
able force to France this year Is
shown by an article by the MILL
tary correspondent of the "Deutche
Tageszeitung." who encourages his
readers to believe II there are any
Americans at the front they are
quite negligible. The Deutsche
Tageszeitung says In part:
The true position of Americas
military help is gradually revealed.
Already We see the statement IN the
American Press that the hurried
shipments of unframed troops were
only undertaken to placate the al
lies who were supplicating for help.
English voices. too. are clamor-
ing loudly in favor of holding the
western front with British troops
until a great and fully equipped
American army has really arrived
(which will be somewhere about the
early part Of next century,, because
the exp rience gained hitherto of
the doings OF the badly trained little
American army have been very far
from encouraging.
The question simply resolves
itself into this: Are the British
really able to hold the Western
I front SO long with their own
troops?
In the first place she may have
a long time to wait; and, secondly.
all sorts of things might happen
in the meantime. Nor should we
forget about those hundreds of
thousands of American aeroplanes
which. as was dinned into the
worlds ears last year with the
voice of a giant fishwife, were by
now to be dealing destruction
among the Huns. but which have
not yet materialized.
1T is evident, therefore. that once
again products OF the entente witches

ney in smoke, in lies. and deceptions."

DREADNAUGHTS
OF E..SUNK;
RAID AVOIDED
Destruction of 3 Austrian
Battleships Brings
Rome Relief.

Rome, July 22.-It has become
known here that the Italian ad-
miralty is greatly relieved by the
destruction a few weeks ago of
three Austrian Dreadnaughts by
italian torpedo boats.
The absorption of the Russian
Black Sea fleet by Germany had
brought about a naval situation
in the Mediterranean which was
regarded with apprehension by both
the French and Italian admiralties.
1t was known that the central
powers planned a naval raid with
the Russian feet, manned by Ger
man sailors and augmented by the
Goeben and other Turkish vessels,
which was to sally from the Dar-
denelles and be Joined by the Aus
trian feet from Pola.
Menace 0byiated.
The action would have constituted
such a menace to Mediterranean
shipping and to supply bases operat-
ing between France, Gibraltar and
the Greek ports that 1t would have
taken practically the whole allied
naval strength in the Mediterranean
to comabt 1t.
The loss by Austria of three Dread
naughts, however, has relieved the
situation.
When war was declared Austria
had two completed Dreadnaughts with
two building, with three older ships
that could have been used in the line.
There were also six older and slower
vessels whose use in battle was ques-
toned.
Unless Austria has built first line
ships much faster than Italian naval
men believe. the loss Of three capital
ships crippled her severely.

Will Organize Clubs

1t has been the plan of the high
school to have activities in which all
students may participate. There have
been athletics for the boys and two
societies for the entire high school.
The work in those organizations was
never quite satisfactory to the stu
dents for they were often asked to ap-
pear on program in roles that were
foreign to them. The work was COM
pulsory and perhaps that accounted
for the partial failure. After much
consideration it has been decided to
organize five clubs in the school.
