Food and Fuel Supplies Are Short
in Many European Countries.

A Swiss commercial paper states thai
there is a shortage In coal of all kinds,
an insufficient supply of wood for fuel,
and small reserves in oils and grease
throughout Switzerland. Fresh eggs
disappeared fromlthe market. Dry vege-
tables are becoming more scarce. A
project to manufacture flour from po-
tstoes had to be abandoned because
sufficient supplies of potatoes could not
be secured.
In Holland coal and coke prices have
been advanced. In American terms, the
maximum price for anthracite is about
$22 ton: coke, s10s ton; coal briquets,
s25 q ton. Distribution is carefully
regulated by cards, in specified quanti-
ties. The amount allowed, especially
to residences, is much smaller than In
peace times.
New French food regulations forbid
eating houses to serve or consume fresh
or packed butter otherwise than In the
preparation of food. Curdled or sour
milk is prohibited as well as cream and
specified kinds of cheese. The making
Of pastries, biscuits, and confectionery

Ten Million Hens.
BY D. M. GREEN

The fierce old eagle perched on high
has had his praises sung,
By posts and by orators since this fair
land was young.
A wicked, hard old fighter he, but in
this eventful day,
/ vote to place in discard this selfish
bird Of prey.
And for this place nominate our friend
the business hen,
With proven worth and patriotism and
friend of all true men.
To this great war she gives her bit in
eggs and poultry meat,
To feed our soldiers lover there" and
save us from defeat.
On backyards, farms and grassy plots
where poultry grows and thrives,
Keep hens, raise chickens, produce
more eggs and save our heroes lives.
Far better is the cackle when an honest
egg is born,
Than to hear the Kaiser's hurrah when
some human heart is torn,
Hence, let US heed the warning and
rally to man,
And aid the nationwide campaign that's s
been launched by Uncle Sam.
More chickens, eggs and poultry meat
will seal the Kaiser's fate.
Produce them now. not bye and bye,
when 1t may be too late:
So lets Keep mems, ten million strong,
for meat is fighting fuel,
Increase our egg and food supply and
blot out the Prussian rule.

County Agent W. A. Owens is busy
just now organizing corn and pig clubs
over the county. The LAGRANGE Club
has been completed with eleven men,
bers and they have secured their pigs
several being aided in buying by loans
from LAGTange Savings Bank. The
Moscow club will buy pigssnext Satur-
day. They have seven boys and three
girls already and will probably have
Others. They are receiving assistance
where needed from Moscow Savings
Bank. Other points have been visited
and the work started that will result
in completing the organization In other
places in the next few days. Every
bank In the county has agreed to lend
help to such boys as wanted to join
and have not the funds to buy their
pigs with. Mr.. Owen ordered few
days ago $25 worth Of Hickory King
seed corn to be furnished the members
of the corn clubs for their club acres,
80 that all boys in the clubs will have
the same variety Of corn. The $25
vas furnished BY W. NJ. Mayo Of
this city.
There ere waiting In the Office Of the
County Superintendent at the present
time seven or eight warrants already
made out to teachers who have failed
to send report for the month for which
the warrant is made. These reports are
required to be :filed before the warrant
goes out and If you who have failed to
send reports to the Superintendent
Office when you send your orders for
warrants will observe this recruitment
you will avoid delay in receiving the
warrants In furture.
Attention'is again called to the ex-
animation to be held on March 10 and
16. All those who expectl to teach IN
the schools which begin in ithe early
summer must take this examination II
they do not now hold certificate good to
June 1919. We are repeating this SO
that no one will be put out by falling
to take this examination. Questions
are already being asked the County Su-
jperintendent .as to whether one can
not 20 to the Normal this summer and
take the examination'snd get certificate
in time for the summer schools. The
question has been answered negatively,
every time. | wish to warn those not
now holding certificate good until next
y ear that the board cannot make con-
tract with you and cannot:permit you to
open school unless you have certIfic-
ate. II Is not desired to keep any body
whO wants to teach and can stand the
examination from teaching, but they
must stand the examination in March
in order to be eligible for election to
position in the schools beginning in the
summer and we hope that .every pros
pective teacher will take this examins-
tion. The examination may be taken
here in Somerville or at the Normal on
the same dates, March 10 and l6.
