| Helena.-That school boards are liza.
Bile for teachers salariesSduring tho
time lost on account of the influenza
epidemic, is the opinion of Attorney
General Ford. Mr.. Ford says:
"* am therefore of the opin-
ion, in view of the foregoing authOri-
ties, that in case the agreement be-
tween the school trustees and teachers
is silent upon the matter of payment
of the salary of the teacher in case of
the closing of. the schools on account of
the prevalence of contagious or cpl
demic disease, and the schools are
closed by the local or county health
offices, because of an epidemic of
Spanish influenza, and a,teacher holds
himself in readiness at all times dur
ing which the schools are closed, to
resume his duties at any time, such
teacher is entitled to be paid the sal
airy provided by his contract during
all of the times the, schools are
closed.''
Miss Trumper, state superintendent,
says in regard to this matter: in
school districts where funds are so
limited that the payment of full salary
to teachers during the time school
has been closed will necessitate the
shortening of the school year for the
children, it seems TO me highly advisa-
BILE that teachers should be willing to
make some compromise with school
boards whereby the school term would
not need to be shortened.
''The payment of the living expenses,
board and room, for teachers during
the time school has been closed will
prove satisfactory to most teachers
who are really interested in the prog
ress of their children, if it is an abso-
lutte fact that trustees have not the
money with which to continue the full
term if full salary is paid while school
has been closed"

Conservation Week Postponed.

, Food conservation week, previously
scheduled to open Monday, December
2, was postponed until early in the
year, insofar at least as Montana is
concerned, said Sam d. GOA, state
campaign director, on his return to
Helena last week from a conference
with Alfred Atkinson, state food adj
miniStrator, at Bozeman.
By January /, said Mr.. GOA, Herbert
Hoover, national food administrator,
who is now in Europe, will have a
complete survey of what the food sup
ply needs of the allied countries will
be and will have basis on which the
national administration plans for 1919
will be made. On this information the
activities in Montana during food con-
servation week will be based.
By that time, too, it is expected
that the influenza epidemic will have
materially abated.

Embargo off; Farmers Ship.

| Heavy shipments of grain and lum.
| Der have begun to move over the va
rious railroads entering Montana, as
a result of the lifting of the embargo,
which has held up shipments from
farms and plants for from one to two
months.
Under the instructions, which have
been received by railroad officials in
the state, shipments of wheat, oats,
rye, barley and flax seed destined for
Duluth and Superior may be shipped
without restrictions, effective at once,
while in the future no permits will
be required for the shipment of grain
of all varieties to Minneapolis and st.
Paul terminals.
Several thousand cars Of Montana
wheat have been held up in the state
been.ip force for over a month, and
which has caused general protest from
farmers and shippers. The permit
system recently invoked helped in al
leviating the conditions, but did little
good to the majority of shippers, but
now that the car situation has been
cleared up in terminals and on the
road the embargo has been lifted, and
Montana wheat may be rushed through
to the markets without further delay
or red tape.
The embargo fixed on forest prod
ucts September 16 almost caused a
panic in lumber circles in the north
west and would have necessitated the |
closing of many mills and camps had
it continued in force much longer. |
Now, however, that embargo is off, !
too, and all forestry products, what
ever the class and variety, may be /
shipped anywhere in the country with
out restrictions.
