WORK
NOT TOSUFFER
Time Lost by Closing Will
Be Offset by Good Work,
Says Thurston.

Holidays will not be cut because Of
the influenza IL the school work is of
the high grade Of last years work.
according to Ernest L. Thurston. su--
perintendent OF schools.
The loss of a months work came
at-a much better time this year than
did the loss of time because of coal
shortage last year." said Mr.. Thurs
ton. I'VE had only had six days OF
school and the schedule is not so
badly shattered.
Last year the work done by the
pupils was excellent The war end
war work had induced a serious>and
intent attitude toward the thing in
hand.
English essays were on subjects
in which the pupils had a vital in
terest. The war lent reality to his
tory geography and even mathe-
ma tics.
Pupils EnthusIastIe.
"I am sure this high standard of
work with the excellent cooperation
of the pupils will be kept up this
year and the time lost through the
epidemic will be easily regained
through added concentration and en-
thusiasm.
Each holiday finds fewer old pupils
returning to us, but no figures on
the reutrn at this time will be avail
able until Monday.
Several teachers died during the
period when the schools were
closed; two, at least. of influenza.
The number was not much morn
than the usual number who die in
that period of - time. Nevertheless
the shortage in teachers is a reai
problem. The solution is doubtless
in increased salaries.
The shortage in janitors threat
ems to seriously cripple the school
system and we may be forced to
close some of the buildings. The
Webster and the Grant schools are
without janitors and this becomes
very serious as the cold weather
approaches.
Reed School Engineers.
! We have frequent vacancies for
capable men in the role of school
engineers. 1t is necessary that we
secure these men to supply sufi-
cient heat for the children.
When the schools open Monday no
| pupils are to be taken in who are
suffering with influenza or with any
symptoms of it, such as severe colds.
! Teachers with such symptoms are
also requested to prolong their vaca-
| tions.

FARMERS URGED
TO|NCREASE the
wheat ACREAGE
Patriotic Duty Of Producers Is
Pointed Out By Nonparti-.
san League Head.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Mar. 7.-Farm-
ers Of the Northwest are urged to
plant more wheat this spring as pa
triotic war duty, in an appeal issued
by A. c. Townley, president of the
National Nonpartisan league.
He points out that at present prices
rye, corn and barley are more prof
liable crops than wheat, and that this
! may result in larger acreage being
! sown in these grains, and thus cause
a shortage in wheat unless the ma
TONS urgent necessity for wheat is
emphasized.
1.-THE spring seeding season is close
at hand,"' said Mr.. Townley, land at
| present prices corn, rye and barley
| all will pay the farmer much better
1 than wheat.
! but the government and our Allies
need wheat above all else. Its in
creased production is of paramount
| Importance. We must have more
wheat to win the war. Many farmers
burdened by pressing financial obl1-
cations and probably unaware of the
vital necessity for more wheat, may
decide to plant corn, barley, or rye
instead of wheat. This is a very ma
tural thing for the individual farmer
| to do, but if it is done generally it
will be a national calamity.
Urges Wheat Planting.
Therefore I urge in the strongest
! possible manner that all farmers pre-
! pare to plant more wheat, to the ex-
clusion of other less needed crops,
| purely as a matter of patriotism. And
I know that the farmers will respond
! to this plea. The farmers are pa
triotic and are behind their country.
There is no sacrifice they will not
make. feel sure that they will plant
wheat even when they know there is
| more money in other less needed
crops"
! The fixing Of the price for the 1918
| wheat crop at $3.50 a bushel instead
| Of $500, by the president, will be a
l big inducement for a larger wheat
acreage, it is believed.

U. S. RUBBER MADE OVER
$12,ooo,ooo IN EXCESS
WAR PROFITS LAST YEAR


CHICAGO, Mar. 1.-The United
States Rubber company, largest single
rubber concern in America, made in
1917 excess war profits (that is, prof
it's in addition to average peace
profits) Of $12,144,329. The net in
come for 1917 was s1S,SO6,106, the
net annual income for the average of
three years preceding the European
war was $6,661,177. The excess war
profits for 1916 were $4,564, 431,
showing that the most recent. war
year was also the most profitable for
the United States Rubber company.
If Senator La Follette's proposal to
take 80 per cent Of excess war prof
it's in taxes had been adopted the
government would have received
from the rubber company the sum
Of $9,715, asa, and the rubber 1nves-
tors would still have received $685.
S66 more than they got in years OF
peace.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1.-The Fed
eral government is not only giving
close attention to the matter of the

before. Many of the young people
who have come to Washington for war
work are hundreds, even thousands,
Of miles from home for the first time
in their lives. They are strangers in
a strange land, and it is not to be
| wondered at that they become home
sick and magnify the troubles that
they are bound to meet during the
period of adjustment to new condi-
tons. The department heads realize
that a good clerk must be a contented
one, and many offices have appointed
welfare workers whose business it is
to take an unobstrCsive interest in the
affairs of the employees and to try to
help them with their difficulties. Ex-
periments along this line have had
such good results that the number
of offices which employ welfare work.
