FOOD COSTS IN AUSTRIA

Food costs are increasing fast
enough in this country, but they must
be travelling upward at tremendous
rate in Central Europe, judging from
a recent London despatch to the er-
feet that Austrian newspapers are
printing the following astonishing
figures with reference to food condi-
lions in that country. These figures
indicate that the increase in the price
Of food stuffs since the beginning of
the war has been as follows:
Beef, GOT per cent; mutton, 1914
per cent; pork, 1920 per cent; flour,
3,243 per cent; lentils 1900 per cent;
beans, $500 per cent; potatoes 1914
per cent; pork, 1920 per cent; flour

SPEED UP SCHOOL WORK
State Commissioner Advises
Rather than Lengthening
Session

Montpelier, Oct. 24-Commissioner
of Education, M. 3. Hillegas, has
sent a letter to the superintendent of
schools relative to different matters.
He urged speeding up the school
work rather than the Tightening of
the school year through June to make
up for the time lost this month with
The grip n,alady; and he advises that
the work, when school opens, be com
manced us in last year, so that con-
fusion may be avoided and the selec-
ion Of subjects occur to help speed
up the work. Each superintendent is
asked to submit to the commissioner
Office data as to how he expects tC
speed up II his union. After these
facts arc received, general scheme
fitting the state, will probably be
placed in action.

GERMAN GRAFT
Not the Unpopular Kind, but the
Agricultural Graft

New York, Oct. ga tomato-po-
tato is the latest wonder" of Ger
man horticulture according to German
newspapers received here. Accord
ing to their accounts, tomatoes and
potatoes have been raised on one
plant. On strong branch of a po-
tato plant was grated a shoot of q
tomato plant. After a process OF
hardening which required one month
the grated plant was set out in the
open. The two branches then thriv-
ed as one.
From sixteen such plants it is stat
ed AZ pounds of tomatoes and %
pounds of potatoes were gathered.
The plants require only a rich loose
warm soil, much sunshine and ordin-
airy cars. German papers say the
achievement is not astonishing as
the tomato and the potato belong to
the same plant species, that of So
lanum.

Every County Affected with Austria
and Russia Greatest Increase

Stockholm, Sept. 30-(Corres-
pondence of the Associated Press)-
Australia occupies the most favorable
position of all lands in the matter
of increased cost of living, according
to a survey made Ly the Stockholm
Commercial Gazette. The Australian
increase was reported as 80 per cent
since the beginning of the war. The
United States was recorded as in
second position with the increase Of
so to 70 per cent.
Holland with an increase of 70 per
cent showed the smallest increase
among European nations with Dem
mark next with the increase of about
80 per cent.
Sweden, England, France, Spain
and Portugal are grouped with an
increase running from 100 to 1872 per
cent, England and France occupying
the most favorable place with in
creases of about 100 per cent while
Sweden had 1872 per cent.
Germany, Belgium, Norway and
Hungary had increases from $50 to
200 per cent, while the cost of living
in Austria, Finland and Russia had
increased more than 200 per cent
In every case the figures are based
on the budget of an normal family
with d years expenditures of 1000
crowns in 1914.

NON ESSENTIAL JOBS
AFFECT GOVERNMENT
Men Are Being Employed in Private
Construction Who Ought to Be
Released to Government

Washington, Oct 23-Many thousand
of builders-skilled men-are engage
ed in non-essetial construction for
private interests, while government
work at cantonemcnts is being held
back for lack of men. This is dis
closed in statements being received
by the United States employment ser
vice in response to missionaries re-
Gently sent to building trades coun-
ellis and buildings exchanges in three
hundred cities.
In some cities, workers engaged in
private operations far outnumber
those employed on war work.
While there is dearth of carpen-
ters for army work, one camp being
short six thousand, one city has re-
ported one thousand carpenters not
essentially employed. Similar con-
ditions iii other building trades are
reported from various places.
The reports show there is a great
army of workers employed on nom
essentials in the middle west. The
southwest also seems to have sup
ply of skilled labor sufficient for all
its needs both war and non-war.
The acute shortages are reported
from the districts about army camps
and cantonements. The employment
service is laying plans for redistri-
buting much of this labor. Returns
are being tabulated by cities and
trades. A call for help can be met,
when this system is complete, by
drawing on any of the cities report
ing a non-war surplus and putting
the men not usefully engaged in
touch with jobs where they are need
ed.

has also passed the bill.
Chairman Dent, of the Military
committee, announced that the War
Department will order the registra-
ton of the men made eligible by this
bill June 5, the anniversary of the
first enrolment. All men who have
reached 81 by that date must reg
lister; they will be classed after an
swering questionnaires on exactly
the same terms as men enrolled q
year ago.
Under an agreement proposed
amendments to register men from
21 to 40 were postponed to prevent
complicating and delaying the prin-
cipal measure. If such men are reg
istered, however. it will be June .
also.
Representative Hull won his fight
to put the 1918 class of young men
at the foot of the list, after reading
a statement from the War Depart
ment that it neither favored nor op-
posed the amendment.
Divinity students lose their exemp-
ton, military committee members

During the quiet hours of last

cate, is heading an investigation,
working on the supposition that the
prisoners iured the guard to the iso-
lated outbuilding and battered his
life out. Major Hobart Brown, COM
mander of the One Hundred and
Fourth military police, last night
spread a dragnet of soldier sleuths
covering radius of many miles and
there is little doubt but that the ac-
cused will be apprehended by dawn.
In the meantime Major Hill is put
ting scores of soldiers who happened
to be in the vicinity of the ordnance
depot through a third degree, and
no information tending to reveal the
identity of the suspects will be made
available by military authorities un-
til they are in custody. One witness
declares he heard one of the fleeing
prisoners remark. II put that guy
out of the way that time"
The victim had just been granted
a ten-day furlough, expecting to start
for home to-day. 1t is believed that
the prisoners knew he carried money
to defray his carfare and other eX-
penses on the trip to Maryland, and
the robbery is believed to have been
the motive for the crime. When the
body was found Carey's pockets had
been searched and not cent had
been overlooked. 1t is the opinion of
military authorities that the four
prisoners charged with the act are
not yet aware of their victims death.

Mr.. Bryan has never scrupled to put
partisanship above the prohibition
cause, recalling that less than five
years ago he supported a Democratic
candidate for United States Senator
who had betrayed the prohibition
cause and who was notoriously back
ed by the vets. He asserts that Pres
fdent Wilson's views and Mr. Hearst's
run parallel on the beer and wine
proposition and that the President is
opposed to war prohibition at this
time. He notes that Mr.. Bryan has
claimed to be in absolute accord
with the President on all questions.
"Of course" adds Mr.. Anderson,
1T is possible that the premature ex-
plosion of this may keep Mr.. Bryan
from actually coming to deliver the
goods for Mr.. Hearst in New York.
But If Mr.. Bryan does so come we
intend that the Anti-Saloon League
of New York shall be absolutely free
from either wilful or stupid compile
ity in it.
I'VE feel that we had been bone
headed, de facto traitors to the inter-
ests of the cause if we had been un-
able to see how things were being
framed up and that we would be con-
scious traitors if we kept quiet after
we did see."
