Butter Prices.

The present conditions of the mar
ket for dairy products and the sky.
rocketing prices of butter were dis
cussed at a recent conference in
Washington by Herbert Hoover and
a committee of fifty leading re
representatives. of the dairy interests,
including members of the Agricul-
tual Advisory Board.
1t was the unanimous opinion of
the meeting that in view of the
large Army, Navy and Allied de.
mands there was temporary short
age of dairy products, especially
butter. 1t also was agreed that the
present prices of butter not only
bear hard upon the consumer, but
are not in the best interests of the
producer as it tends to diminish
consumption and to stimulate per
manentlv the increased consump.
ton of margarine, which is about
one-half the price of butter.
These conditions sooner or later
will produce a collapse in butter
prices to a point possibly below the
cost of production, it was pointed
out at the conference. When such
collapse did occur, it was consider
ed essential for the stable condition
of the industry that the Government
purchases should te used to support
the market at a reasonable level,
A committee of the dairy men
was appointed to consider the situa
ton further and to advise with the
Food Administration as to what
action should be taken to stabilize
the situation. This committee will
investigate and consider the many
factors involved.

Hungry AuStrianS Talk.

That the shortest way to a
mans heart is through his stom-
ach" has been proved anew in Italy.
The American Y. NJ. c. A. through
a few acts of kindness toward Aus
trian prisoners captured when the
Italians made their Pave drive,
have obtained Information of i'm
mense value to the Italian Army.
These prisoners were in bad
shape, particularly in regard 70 food,
almost literally starving. The black
bread on which they had been liv.
ing was hard. heavy and thoroughly
unappetizing. Real food ard cigar
cites, coming from men in the
American uniform they had been
taught TO fear greatly, opened their
surprised and grateful hearts
With one accord these poor priS-
oners declared themselves heartily
sick of the war and starvation.
Serious mutinieS are prevented
only by the German officers heading
the Austrian regiments aud who 90
not hesitate TO shoot any man slow
to obey the order to advance. The
men are so anxious for peace that
they are rapidly learning to think
that defeat would be preferable to
existing conditions. Hatred of
Germany apparently is increasing
steadily. For Austria TO seize an
opportunity to desert her ally is
only a question of time
To see American soldiers and Y.
NJ. c. A. workers proved a revela-
ton to the Austrians for several
reasons. They had been told that
the U boat would prevent the Unit
ed States from getting any consid-
cradle number of men overseas
and they had also been told that
the Yankees either killed their pris-
oners on sight or abused them to
death. The food and tobacco hand
ed out by the Red Triangle workers
came like mama and worked mir
acles of more than one kind.

Farm Going At Sacrifice.

We have a 100 acre farm that
must be sold. The company that
owns it, made a loan on the place,
and had to take it in.
1t is now offered for sale. and, of
course, all they want is the amount
of the loan and expense.
Any one acquainted with the way
a company loans money on land,

Free Inspection.

Now is the time for car owners
to be thinking about the care Of
automobile storage batteries, before
winter comes on. Every car owner
should have his battery examined
by battery man and should give
the needed attention before it is too
late. Batteries are like any piece
of automobils that you may name,
and there is none of them that do
not need attention sooner or later,
and yours may need it now. We
understand the battery business
and will give you the benifit of our
knowledge free of cost.-Graham &
Kincaid.
