Milk and It's products contain GER

foods. The wise use OF fluid milk
should be encouraged, especially for
children. BY SO doing the child may
be given the most nourishment It may

are generally available throughout tho
country.

cation that the milk production will
continue to increase in this country
for some time to come, and It Is the
desire Of the Food Administration that
the people pay particular attention to
the consumption of milk and It's pro-
duets. For the purpose Of stimulating
growth. butter, fats and other constit-
uents of milk have no substitutes.
Therefore, parents owe to themselves
and their families the duty of provid-
ing the requisite amount of milk, but

In spite of the shortage Of milk in
Germany. that country has at all hax-
ards maintained the milk rations Of

though to do so the adult population

Mississippi has remarkable oppor
tunity to produce more milk, as tho
pastures and forage are unequalled In
any other state in the Union. A little
care in providing cow will produce
q great deal of food for the family.

PLANNING A SURPRISE

Military observers in. France are Of the opinion that
the Germans are planning a surprise for the American
troops. Doubtless this is true The Germans have for
months been busy preparing something all along their
line from Switzerland to the sea, and they are without
question arranging surprises fop<not only the Americans
but for the British and French and Belgians as well. They
have been doing this for some time. Occasionally they
have undertaken surprise Movements Of a minor mature
against the Americana, and in nearly all cases they have
been both out guessed and out-fought by the America ne.
The people at home may rest perfectly secure in the as
suranse that no matter what the Germans have in prep
aration It will be met by the. americans with courage, re-
sourcefulness and. effectiveness
1t may be worth while to note. also, that while the
Germans on their side Of the line are planning. some
planning is being done on our side as we'll. Neither the
Americans nor their associates arc sitting quietly watt
ing to see what Fritz is going to do. The Germans are
quite as likely as their enemies to have surprises rung

SAVE THE OLD TIES

Passengers on trains running to and from the city
have noticed recently that piles OF old ties along the rail-
road right of way are being burned in order to get them
out Of the way, and have felt that in this practice there
is being wasted in the aggregate q large quantity Of fuel
which ought to be saved.
=. The ties that are taken from a railroad road bed
have not a very high fuel value. but they are worth
something. Where the haul is not too great, they would
be removed by farmers and others who would be glad of
an opportunity to obtain a few loads OF rough fuel which
could be hauled when teams are not busy with other
work and which, when dried and broken up, can be made
to take the place of a considerable quantity Of coal or
sound cord wood. The stuff is Of no value to the rail-
roads. and is merely being burned to get it out Of the
way. Some. years ago it was the practice to permit per-
cons to remove this refuse at their pleasure, and prac-
,icaly all of it was gathered up and hauled home by
persons who could use it. Why not revert to the former
practice at this time and save, in the long run,~a lot of
valuable fuel? .r

SEND A GREETING

The attention of The Herald has been called to the
fact that on Tuesday, March IL, Col. Frank viets. former
ly Of Grand Forks and now Of Ashtabula. Ohio. will be
- years old. The suggestion is made that on this COCA
sion old friends OF Colonel vets send him a card with a
messag e of congratulate ton and good will. The suggestion
is a good one.
1t is some years since Colonel viets dropped out OF
the active life of Grand Forks. but he has always retain
ed a warn, personal interest in the city which he helped
to build, and in the state whose history he helped to
shape. On his occasional visits to the city he has 'loved
to ninsle with the men. now rapidly diminishing in mum
Der. who were has associates in the early days OF tho
northwest. to go over old times with them, and to look
with them into the future in which he has always ex-
pressed the strongest confidence. He. is one Of the men
who have served we'll and honorably, and it will undoubt-
edly be pleasing to him to receive from his old Grand
Forks friends some token of their remembrance, some
expression Of the kindly feeling which they all entertain
for him. Colonel viets may be addressed at Ash1abula.

FIXING PRICES

The men in charge of the steel Corporation have had
the prices Of their products fixed by government action.
The prices for their great staple products have b.-n
reached through conference between government Off
cials and representatives Of the steel interests. The steel
mon now urge the government to go a step further and
bring under some regulation the prices Of the conmodi.
ties which they must buy in order to carry on their bus
mess.
The demand is a reasonable one, and it is in line with
similar demands that have been made in connection with
practically every other line OF business. And in fact, the
whole trend Of our governmental. activities is in the direc-
ton Of the establishment OF prices which shall! be proper
~ proportioned to each other. Either by direct orders
or by the making of regulations which have the effect IF
law, steps have been taken to regulate the prices Of steel,
COAL wheat. flonr and bread. to mention only a few Of
the commodities which have come under government su.
pervieion. And the tendency is to extend this work
rather than to diminish it.
The work should go on. There is need for the sta
hihsinE of prices all along the line. If this is not done,
the whole system is thrown into confusion. Absence Of
regulation plays right into the hands of the profiteers,
who are rightly execrated by all right-thinking persons.
But leaving out of the question those who seek .deliber-
ately to trade on the necessities Of the nation and who,
let US hope, may be brought to reflect on the envrmityI
Of their greed in the solitude of prisons. lack of wise price
supervision tends at the same time to initiate prices and
to jeopardize the interests of those who are faithfully
trying to conduct their affairs honestly and periodically.
The manufacturer, for instance-the honest manu-
facturer-dare not make a contract today to supply a
bill Of his goods 30 days hence without protecting him
self against probable advances in material costs by add
ing to his price a liberal margin to cover those adva noes.
The person to whom he sells must in turn make similar
provision. and, SO it goes all along the line, and the ten
dency is to boost prices unreasonably all along the line.
Wise action on the part of the government would remove
in a very large measure this element OF uncertainty, and
would make possible the transaction of business on a
basis that is fair and reasonable, and which would give
to producers and dealers all along the line at least a fair
prospect of moderate compensation for their work. Let
the work of price regulation so on.

The myth of German invincibility has Ions since
been exploded. Man for man. the British. French and
Beleians have shown Themselves to be as good soldiers
as the Germans in the style Of battle where the Germans
are strongest, namely, trench warfare. Man for man,
they have shown themselves to be better soldiers in every
other style Of combat. In open fighting, in which there
is demand Tor the exercise Of initiative by the individual
soldier, the German is badly outclassed by all his adver-
'saries on the west front The Americans are new at the
work, and they are present~as vet in but small numbers.
But in the engagements in which they have participated
they have acquitted themselves splendidly, and in an
their york they have won the highest praise from the
veteran commanders Of other nations who are injured to
battle, and who understand the situation In all its phases.
When Fritz springs his surprise he himself may be the
most surprised party OF the lot.
