DR.. Augustus O. Thomas, the state

been having under consideration the
prepare ton of tea cheers for aGricul-
tural subjects. to meet the constantly
increasing demand for instruction in
those matters. Cooperation in the
plan has been found on all hands and
it has reached such period as to be
ready for tho attention Of the public.
To that end Supt. Thomas has made
public Il letter being sent by him to
all superintendent Of schools in the
state. 1t follows and tells its own
story:
Because Of the increasing short-
age Of teachers in agriculture coupled
with the increasing demand, effort
will be made to prepare a number OF
teachers bo,-re the opening of school
next fall 1t seems wholly possible
to give such training to selected
number of persons now teaching and
especially those who hold college de-
grees while in service and in short
intensive courses during the coming
summer to entitie them to approval
as teachers Of one or more units n
agriculture Under the Smith Hughes
act.
The State Board for Vocational
Education. consisting of Hon. G. 5.
Stetson, Hon. w. S. Newell and the
State superintendent of schools. has
arranged with the State College Of
Agriculture TO establish courses of
instruction for teacher training such
as will meet the Federal Board re-
quirements Prof. Herbert So Hill.

pointed to have general charge of the
work and also as supervisor OF agri-
culture in secondary schools as SUCH

by he is withholding his approval
Of the act becoming operative In

The new schedule contemplates an
increase in rates to be paid by the

that Mr.. Smith feels that he must

st. Louis.-Two brothers who have
not spoken to each other for two years,
although they slept in the same bed
and ate at the same table, became
reconciled through their enlistment
in the Marine corps.
The boys are Dan and Angelo Tar
antola of this city. Dan is twenty
and Angelo eighteen. They fell out
when Angelo broke up a game of mar
bles in which his brother was play
ing.
Angelo joined the Marine corps. His
brother learned of it and came to the
train to bid him farewell. After be-
coming reconciled there Dan decided
to join the marines and be with his
brother.
SO he enlisted two days later and
the brothers are now at Paris Island
S. c., where they are again fast friends
after two years pact of silence.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES

the American public has thus
far shown very high standard
of honor in the matter of con-
servation, and its efficiency in
saving increases as fast as it
understands the needs and
learns the facts. To assume
that there will be normal sup
plies of sugar, cream, milk,
ice and other materials used in
this industry, or that the weak
ness of human nature can be
counted upon, is to build hopes
upon an absolutely false basis.
The nation has already tight
ened its belt on wheat, beef,
pork, fats, sugar, fuel, cleo
tricity, transportation. 1t will
draw its belt a notch tighter
when the soft-drink season
opens-it both wants to and
will have to.
That is the whole truth.

TWO PAYMENTS PREFER
ABLE

m F the present arrangement
is not changed the coun-
try will have a federal tax
bill of something sover two
billion dollars to pay on June
Is. 1t is a heavy sum to pay
and falls due at a poor time of
the year for agricultural regi-
ons. 1t would be easier for
farming sections to meet the
federal payments in the fall.
There are many who believe
that a two payment plan
should be adopted similar to
that followed by the state of
Oregon. Let the taxpayer pay
half of his tax in June and the
remaining half in the fall. 1t
would be a popular move and
a logical one should the gov
ernment by regulation extend
until fall the payment of half
the money to be due on federal
taxes this year.

TIGHTENING THE BELT

T HE following is suggest
VI ed by the federal fooC
administration and the
predictions made are therefore
based on knowledge of what
the administration plans for the
coming summer:
/ From now until next harvest
the world will tighten its belt.
The allied countries in Eu-
rope will do it as a matter of
grim necessity, and we Amer
leans will do it as a moral OBJ
legation.
If all the food in the allied
countries and North America
were brought together now it
would come decidedly short of
feeding the nations on a peace
time basis.
We have the balance of
food. The allied nations have
the present balance of fighting
strength. Food is fuel for
fighters. 1t does not belong to
us. but to them. and we know
this, and will see that they get
it.
81 These things being so, it is
interesting to see an industry
like that of manufacturing and
distributing soft drinks react to
the situation.
Just now soft drinks are
passing through the dull part
of their year, but manufacture
ers and dealers are looking
ahead three months to the be-
ginning of hot weather. Some
of them wonder How far will
the Food Administration go in
cutting down nonessentials?"
Others argue that, even if the
food administration pledged
the public to decreased con-
sumption of soft drinks, the
public would not keep the
pledge when hot weather
came. BY far the greater sec
tion of this industry, and the
wiser, however, is studying
the facts with a view to sane
adjustment and conservation.
The food administration is
not cutting out "nonessentials'
that has already been done
by the world shortage of food.
They do not have to be cut out.
because they have disappeared.
As for keeping its pledge,
