Continual Chickering's.


1t is matter of common knowledge
that there have been continual bick-
erings as to the food conditions pre-
vailing In different parts of Germany,
and that 1t is alleged again and again
that Bavaria In particular is better off
in this respect than the others.
Complaints have appeared with
great regularity that Bavaria was not
bearing her share Of the common bur-
den In this respect, and that her refu-
sal to allow foodstuffs to be exported
to Prussia was an act Of selfishness.
Whatever ground there may be for
such accusations they are borne out
by the figures above quoted.
II the numbers Of deaths in the
towns In question are a fair index of
the general conditions prevailing, this
current year would give a death roll
of something like two hundred thou
sand persons from the great white
scourge. As far as information that
may be relied upon Is available, the
situation In this respect is much the
same In the dual monarchy as 1t Is In
Germany. That Information Is prac-
tically confined to the three cities, vi.
emma, Prague and RQdapest.

FERRY ACROSS
COLUMBIA is NEEDED
Travel is Very Heavy Now and Au.
toists Sometimes are Delayed
for Hours

Better ferrying facilities across the
Columbia should be provided for the
endless travel now crossing that river
going to and from Walla Walla, is the
opinion of Frank Callahan, who was
in the city yesterday. The ferry at
Alfalfa, according to Mr.. Callahan, is
not adequate to handle the travel and
not powerful enough to negotiate the
river when there is wind sweeping
up the Columbia gorge.
Automobile travel is now at its
height and drivers many times have
to wait for hours to get across the riv-
er. Mr.. Callahan is of the opinion
that the matter of better ferrying IA
cilities should be provided by the coun-
Walla Union.

OREGON MAN TO
SUCCEED LEWIS
Hamilton HI. Hoffman of Hepner
Is Elected Superintendent of
Kennewick Schools

Hamilton H. Hoffman, of Hepner,
Oregon, has been engaged to succeed
M. S. Lewis as superintendent OF the
Kennewick public schools. Mr.. Hoff-
man has been superintendent OF the
Hepner schools since 1910. Previous
to that time he was superintendent OF
the Oak Harbor schools for two years
and principal of the Astoria high
school for one year.
The new superintendent received his
A. B. degree at Lima, Ohio, college in
1907 and his A. M. degree at the
University of Oregon in 1912. He has
attended the University of Ohio and
the University of Chicago.
Mr.. Hoffman was chosen from a
large number of applicants not only
because of his excellent educational
training but because of his splendid
record as an instructor and an execu-
tive. He received the highest possible
recommendations from the members
of the Hepner school board as well as
from the state educational authorities
of Oregon.

CHANGES MADE in
SUGAR REGULATIONS
Under New Plan Complete Check
is to be Kept on Home Can
ming Allowance

Sweeping changes affecting the dis
tribution of sugar have just been re-
ceived by Charles Hebberd, food ad-
ministrator for Washington. Under
the new plan there will be complete
check on the home GAMER and he will
find it impossible tc duplicate pur-
chases.
Previously the home canner was al
lowed to purchase rs pounds of sugar
by simply signing a statement in a
retailers book. Now the purchaser
will sign a cart. which has been dis.
trinited to th, retailer, saying the
purchaser will use the sugar for can
ring and preserving only. The card
viii be sent to tEl county food admin
istator. Should the home Gamer wish
an additional 25 pounds he must first
obtain a permit from the county food
administrator, who will issue it on ev-
idence that the previous purchase has
been used for canning.
The family in town or near market
is limited to two-pound purchases at
one time. Those living at distance
from market are limited to Today
supply, based on three pounds per per-
son per month. Hotels, restaurants,
boarding houses and camps having less
than 25 people at each meal are linn
tied to Today supply. If they feed
an average of more than rs people
each meal they must obtain certificates
from the county food administrator
before they can purchase sugar.
Three reasons are given for the ne
cessity of cutting down sugar use.
Increased shipping demand has cut
down transportation, the crop is short
in the West Indies and in France and
Italy, and there has been considerable
loss due to the sinkings by submarines.
1t is estimated there will be about l.
100000 tons of sugar for the United
States consumption In the last half
of the present year. The known DE-
mand on the basis now to be used will
be at least 100000 tons for that Pc
riod.
Bakers will receive certificates for
20 per cent of the average amount
used during July, August and Septem-
her, or, alternatively 20 per cent OF
that used in June, 1918.
Retail stores will receive for July
purchases certificates based upon the
average of sugar sold during the COM
bined three months April, May and
June, 1913. Retailers must not sell
sugar to anyone except householders,
without taking up the certificates OF
such persons.

ture of an international one, as be-
sides the states of Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho, Montana Utah and Wyom-
ing, there will be teams representing

Friends here have received word
from Mrs. L. G. Spaulding that she
will remain in Seattle for a while
yet to wait developments in regard to
the seriousness of broken arm re-
ceived by Gene recently. The accident
was caused by fall from an apple
tree, breaking the end of the bone in
the upper arm. An X-ray has shown
some pieces of shattered bone that
may have to be removed before the
arm will be normal again. Besides be-
ing quite painful the accident is par
ticularly inconvenient, as they were
all ready to 60 to join DR.. Spaulding
in Illinois.

FARMERS OBJECT TO
$40 WHEAT PRICE
Northwest Farmers to Protest
Vigorously Against Recent
Action of Congress

At a meeting of four representa-
tive members Of the farmers union in
Spokane to consider the bill passed
Saturday by congress fixing $2.40 q
bushel as the price for wheat, and al
so the action to be taken by the farm
ers in the event the president vetoes
the, bill, State Senator r. C. McCros-
key, of Garfield, made the following
statement:
"The crop conditions are very bad.
There are many thosuands of acres
in eastern Washington that will never
be cut unless rain comes. soon. The
acreage is large, but the yield per acre
may not be more than one-third of the
average of former. years. If we have
favorable weather the conditions will
improve. From what can gather in
meeting people over all parts Of the
Pacific coast the rain has been exceed
ingly short all the way from the Rocky
mountains to the Pacific coast and
there will be corresponding crop
shortage" 49,
Speaking of the action Of congress
in making the minimum price of grain
$2.40 bushel Saturday, he said:
"The increase in price will in a
measure compensate for the decreased
yield. However, it will take more than
$2.40-a bushel to bring the farmer out
even. There has been some complaint
about the price of the loaf of bread be-
ing considerably increased by this in
crease in the price of wheat, but the
price of the loaf is not as great as ii
would appear. The main cost of the
loaf is the labor and material that en-
ter into the composition outside of
the flour. These will not be increased
by the advance in the price of flour.
The increase in the price of the loaf
of bread will be only about one-third
of cent, that being the increase that
comes from raising the price of wheat
from 1920 bushel to $3.50 bushel
It costs no more for labor and ma
terial outside of flour to manufacture
a loaf of bread out of high-priced
flour than it does out of low-priced
flour.
eve farmers believe that if the
president knew the conditions he would
not veto the bill, but if he should and
if the members of congress were in
formed as to the cost of production
they would not hesitate to pass the
bill over the Veto"

I'VE Took Six Boches and Had Some

Sergeant G. L. Boyd of Greensboro
who Is serving In France has written
q letter In which he tells about taking
six Boche in a raid. The letter Is as
follows: IF you want to get into an
few hours or days in a trench or
dugouts. I am not veteran in this
war but have had some experiences
just the same.
II have been in the front lines for
six days and have had an idea Of what
is going on. When you are sitting In

and playing q game of black and Old
Fritz sends over an SO then it is time
to begin to think of going back to In
diana.
1T will be surprise to see the bat
tie grounds after the war is over You
can tell the old men that were in the
civil war that they do not know what
war is. 1t is good thing for them
that they cannot go.
I'VE were out on a raiding party
one night. The word came to us that
the Boche were out of that part OF the
country SO We started on the trip We
went over the top and everything was
going fine when we heard someone
whispering. OF course we knew what
it was. We lay down and did not have
to wait very long until we saw six
Boche coming.

them. Two of the fellows took them
back to camp. We went on and had
some time. Everyone got back to
