Members of this committee meet
ing with Food Administrator C. N.
Herreid, representatives of the state
department of marketing, and repre-
sentatives of the retailers and whole
salers of the state, made the follow

"Your committee, appointed for
the purpose Of investigating the
prices of wheat flour substitutes
which are being sold to the consum-
er in this state. begs to report as
follows:
I'VE find upon investigation a
wide range of prices for the different
substitutes now being sold. These
prices are in a large measure just
and reasonable. However, there APP
pears to be some need for regula-
lions. The fluctuations in the grain
markets no doubt account for some
variations in the prices of substitutes
to the consumer.
Whereas. the fluctuations in
grain markets preclude the POSSIBLE
ity Of a uniform price to the consum-
er In all sections of the state, we
recommend that a profit of not to ex-
coed 20 per cent to the retailer above
the delivered cost be fixed by the

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
CLOSES ALL LOAFTNG PLACES
IN HURON.

Huron, June 1S.-The Huron
council of defense recently adopted
two important resolutions, as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That the entire man
power of the state should, so far as
possible. during the continuance of
the emergency arising out of the war
be used and applied to successful and
essential occupation. To this end,
the cuuncff or DEFENSE urges that
boards of commissioners. city coun-
ellis, boards of trustees, or other gov
erning authorities of cities. towns
and villages, take immediate steps to
more stringently regulate, control. or
III need be, close all places of loiter-
ing and loafing. whether the same be
pool halls, places of card playing. or
places of vice detrimental to public
safety.
Further, Resolved, That the coun-
ty councils be and hereby are in
structed to make investigation of all
such places in their respective coun-
ties, and confer and cooperate with
municipal authorities as far as pos
sible."
The other resolution is:
Resolved, That, while ii is not
the policy of the state council of de-
Tense to interfere with construction
or public improvements already in
progress, 1t is the policy of the coun-
Gil to discourage all public improve
ments except in matters of real nee
essity."

ARE ADVERTISED MEDICINES
WORTHLESS?

There is no more reason to con-
denim all advertised medicines than
there is to condemn all physicians or
all druggists. Fakes there are in ev-
cry profession and in every trade, but
they do not last long. Take a med
icine like Lydia e. Pinkham's vege-
table Compound, the true test of its
merit is the fact that for 40 years 1t
has been relieving women of Amer
lea from the worst forms of female
ailments, constantly growing in pop
ularity and favor. until 1t is now rec
ognized from ocean to ocean as the
standard remedy for female ills.

October Games in

Must be Abandoned

Kansas City. Oct. abandonment
OF all the October football games in the
Missouri Valley Conference has been
made necessary by the refusal OF Col.
r. l. Rees OF the army general stan

modify the rules concerning the ath-
letics. set forth in the, circular of Sept.

regulations would stand in detail No
commanding officer of the s. a. T. c.
will be permitted TO violate the rules
of the war department which forbid
out OF town trips requiring absence
from schools other than Saturday
afternoons of this month.
The telegram TO President Hill was
in answer 10 the recommendations OF
the presidents. boards OF control and
faculty representatives Of the Missouri
Valley schools that the conference foot
ball schedule be allowed TO stand as
far as possible.
Because Of the distance between the
Missouri Valley colleges il will be i'm
possible to play the October games and
return by Saturday night in the moon
to taps" furloughs that are permitted
this month. Therefore. only games
with schools outside the conference
and close TO the conference points will
be possible this month.
The November schedule will be fol-
lowed a. close as possible. according
TO Colonel Rees' telegram. Teams will
hc allowed to make trips Of not more
than forty eight hours, or from Friday
night TO Sunday night. Whether the
November ruling will be followed so
strictly as TO neceSsitate a change II
the plan for the annual Kansas Mis-
souri, game on Thanksgiving is mat

IS said to be hopeful that the war de-
partment will permit the departure Of
the team on a forty eight hour fur

Western Conference whereby every
conference team would meet the other
conference team. Whether this could
be crowded into November seems
doubtful and there has been some talk
among coaches and directing autho-
rites Of attempting TO extend the sea-
son into the next month. Much will
depend on the games with schools out
side the conference that can be can
celled or reset.
With a large percentage Of the foot
ball material at all the valley schools
under strict military control and dis
cipline, training and practice routine
as followed IN other years bids fair to
be materially upset. The effect of the
NEGOTIATIONS required of 5. a. T. G.
men was expected to interfere with
early practice but the postponement Of
the schedule will probably give time for
vaccinations to heal before the real
season opens.

JOHNSON MAY HEAD LEAGUE.
Choice as President Of Semi-Pro.
fessionai Organization.


Cleveland, o.. Oct. ia prominent
baseball man-perhaps President Ban
Johnson of the American league-will
be sought to head the proposed semi
professional league Of the National
Baseball! Federation. for the duration
Of the war, which will replace the pro-
fessional game. Directors Of the fed
Grafton are business men who can not
conveniently spare the time to devote
TO the successful operation of the
plans.
Clayton TONNES. member OF the
executive board and organizer Of the
federation. will suggest to the board
that measures be taken TO place the
proposal before Mr. Johnson in the
hope Of securing his cooperation. If
such efforts fail. the aid of Clark
Griffith, who purchased more than
500 900 worth of baseball equipment
for soldiers and sailors, probably will
be sought.
Moderation expects to pay d
salary to the man who accepts the
position.
There is TO be no personal profit,
however. from the new league. All
athletic activities fund.
Our league is intended to fill the
gap caused by the cessation of pro-
fessional baseball. which will come
back more popular than ever after the
war" said Mr.. Townes.
What would prevent Mr.. Johnson
running the semi-pr end of the feder-
alton? AS we have planned. games are
to be played Saturdays and Sundays
on three American league parks. Chi
cago. Cleveland. and Detroit, giving
those Glib owners enough 20 pay ever
head expenses on the plants.
And what would be more in keep
ing with such a plan than that the
head Of the American league lend his
influence to see that the league is run
