HOW MUCH PER ACRE?

Food Administrator Hoover says there is
much misapprehension regarding the returns
the farmers are getting from their various
grains and declares that wheat now brings
the highest returns to the farmr per bushel of
any cereal CROP It is to be regretted that
Mr.. Hoover did not give figures to returns
per acre as well as per bushel. 1t would also be
interesting to know what Mr.. Hoover has to say
to the Idaho farmer who, when taken to task
for feeding wheat to hogs, explained that his
wheat was worth on the ranch only two dollars
and twenty-five cents per hundred while corn
would cost him four dollars and twenty-five
cents American farmers going to school to
Mr.. Hoover would be rather amazing sight
but perhaps they will have to do it.

RED CROSS ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

The American Red Cross during the last few
months has done more for relief of human suf-
ferng in wider field than was ever before ac-
complished, in similar period, in the history of
the world. This magnificent organization
comes frankly and squarely before the Ameri-
can people, from whom it derives its support,
and tells them candidly just what it has done
and gives exact accounting of its use Of funds
so munificently contributed to it by generous
hearted Americans.
The war council Of the American Red Cross
has aims that are of tremendous import in the
prosecution of the war and in carrying humane
activities to the gallant men who may be strick-
en- with wounds OF sickness. It is well to re-
state these paramount aims, SO that the people
may understand definitely and thoroughly

ton made by Gutzon Borglun, the

public formally although enough OF
it's contents became known to show
that the sculptor had babe charges
against those in control and had al
legged there was graft in production OF
planes.
The senate became so stirred over
the situation that it demanded Grim
inal investigation and in debate on
the subject senators asked that the
military committee renew its inquiries
with view to bringing criminal pros
ecution.
A majority report by the committee
some weeks ago charged that govern
ment officials had kept the public in
ignorance of the real state of affairs
and recommended one man air craft
control Subsequently President Will
son put John D. Ryan in charge OF
production.
Investigations by the department OF
justice was asked of the president by
Howard Coffin formerly chairman of
the air craft board who declared he
requested that the reputation of inno-
cent men might not be ruined by the
charges that have been made.
At the same time the order for in
vestigation was announced. President
Wilson's correspondence with Gutzon
Borglum. the sculptor who made an in
vestigation of the air craft production
situation was given out at the White
House. 1t disclosed that the president
last. month advised Borglum that he
never considered an official invest
gator and practically disposed of his
services.

LYMAN MAY BE
 KEPT AT WORK
 AS ARCHITECT.

John II. Lyman, Jr., engaged by the | former commission of state insttu- tions as supervising archite-r of the work of constructing new buildings at | the University of Arizona at Tucson, 1 probably will continue in that capacity 1 under the new commission.
 An agreement to that effect was reached yesterday afternoon at a joint session of the board of regents of the university and the commission of state institutions This agreement is con- tngent. however, upon the acceptance by MT. Lyman of the conditions named. The joint meeting was held at the state house.
 The meeting of the board of regents and the commission of state institu- tions was long one, and it was nearly 4 o'clock when the session was con- cluded and a brief typewriter synop- sis of the results of the meeting and the agreement reached between the two bodies was given out for publication.
 From the wording of the agreement it is apparent that it is the desire of l the board of regents of the university that AIr. Lyman be continued in his present capacity in order that there might be no unnecessary delay in the completion of the buildings under way However, as stated in the agreement, l the arrangement with Mr. Lyman, if 1 he accepts. is to be only a temporary 1 one. The matter of final remuneration with him is to be decided upon at a i later date.
 1 Apparently, the situation has cleared 1 much with reference to the relations of i Mir. Lyman and the commission of state institutions, and instead of an abrupt ! GOV ~nViY, 1Tr4 law suits. the architect continues for time at least, with further settle ment in the future not an impossibility 1 Following is the text of the agree ment made yesterday between the board of regents of the university and l the commission of state institutions ] with regard to constructive work at l the university:
 The board of regents is to advise 1 the commission of state institutions in writing that they consider it essential that MT. Lyman be retained as archi- tect and supervisor of construction of the mining and engineering buildings and shops
 MT. Lyman is to furnish two com plete sets of plans and specifications | before being paid anything in excess of $7,50O.
 An inspector is to be appointed by the commission of state institutions who shall also act as assistant to the ! purchasing agent in making out ma | terlal lists and specifications.
 This agreement between the board of regents and the commission of state | institutions is to be only temporary. It will be confirmed later by the com mission of state institutions without radical departure from the terms as herein stated.
 The claims of MT. Lyman now being held will be passed upon as soon as it 1 IS possible to check them.
 The board of regents is to continue to use its present interest fund of ap- proximatelv $23,000.
 The question of the final remunera tion of Mir. Lyman is to be considered later.
 | All of the above arrangements is to apply to the shop building as well as to che inning and engineering buildings"

Hints upon the care of the body, given by George O.

Wold is a graduate of one of the best known schools of physical culture and mas sage, located in Sweden, and his talk proved most interesting as well as in- structive. So effective were his many points that many present gained an entirely new idea of the value of the care of the body, attention to diet and general physical upbuilding
 Lieutenant Crozier of the British army talked on the war in a most entertaining fashion and H. R. Tritle. manager for the thrift campaign in this state, appealed to the Rotarians for assistance in making the thrift campaign the success it should be. MT.
