Wages Much Higher.

Teachers wages have gone up all
over as result Of the high costs OF
living Teachers used to get table
board in Crystal Falls at from four
TO six dollars per week. Today they
must pay from six to ten dollars per
week while room rent has increased
proportionately
Thirty-five TO forty dollars is the
board and room charge that a teach
er must figure on, now, whereas it is
only a few years ago that $500 per
month was all the wages that teach
er received in the minor positions.
The Crystal Falls board OF educa-
ton has adopted the bonus system
with their teachers, paying certain
bonuses when they report and when
they finish their contract This feat
ure has been one that proved attrac-
tive
1t is difficult to get boarding accom-
modations In this city and It will be
harder than ever now that the Lock
wood House is out OF business. Rooms
are plentiful enough, but there are
not many places where table board
can be had.

PRESERVE TRAIL BEAUTIES.
w. j. Cudlip Of Iron Mountain Sug-
gests Action Upon This Work.

Considerable has been said in the
Gogebic, Iron and Dickinson county
papers about the preservation OF the
forests on each side of the Cloverland
Trail. The suggestion seems to meet
with quite general approval and steps
are being taken by the different au-
thorities 10 get prices, etc. upon the.
lands that are desirable. but there is
so much war activity at this time that
such secondary things as the preserv-
ing OF natures beauties along that
road are escaping attention
Mr.. w. ]. Cudlip OF Iron Mountain.
writes us on the subject as follows:
Iron Mountain. Mich,
August Z, 1918.
Mr.. ConIin;
l think that in copy of The Dia-
mond Drill, noticed an article ask
ing the people to interest themselves
in the preservation of the forest on
eacn side of The Cloverland Trail
| believe that part of that road Is
now being despoiled. The govern
ment appropriates money for beau
tifying the state, but no money could
ever replace the natural beauty of
that road so why not keep Il? 1t
future OF the upper peninsula.
Do you think it possible through
any means to do anything?
Yours truly,
MR. W. j. CUDLIP.
1t is quite evident from Mr.. Cudlip's
letter that he Is In favor OF immediate
action. We suggest that those inter-
ested in the preservation OF these for
ests write to Mr.. Cudlip and It Is pos
slble that sufficient support can be
mustered In the project In the three
counties to form an association that
will push the project with the boards
of supervisors and the public. Gogeb-
ic county has gone farther ahead than
the other two in this matter, but a
united support from those in the three
interested counties would hasten mat
ters along immensely and we know OF
no one who will make better leader
in this movement than MIR. Cudlip.
The Diamond Drill will give Mr..
Cudlip all the support possible in the
work and we know that the other
members of the press in the three
counties will do the same. Push II
along, boys, and let's get the thing
started

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 12- (by ma1D. At tho recent meeting of the National Nonpartisan league at Minneapolis, Pref E. F. Ladd of the North Dakota Agricultural college gave the following anal ysis of the cost of Q barrel of flour and of a loaf of bread
 It is estimated that 1-2 bushels of wheat, CT 270 pounds, will pro- duce one barrel of flour of 196 pounds; that is, when it is milled to 72.6 per cent of flour, and it has been recommended that the per cent of flour should be greater than this, but at 72.6 per ceIt !nilled there would remain, approximate ly "A pounds of mill feed.
 Let us take the cost of wheat as miiled fer producing one barrel of flour. The miller does not, i'll the larger commercial mills, use No. 1 Northern as the wheat from which he produces his four, but the aver age, under the present grades, will probably be about No. Let us sec, then, what will be the cost of the wheat for a barrel of flour on <he Minneapolis market if the basic price for No. 1 Northern IS $2.20 at Chicago.
 First, taerc is a differential of Sc. in freight, in favor of Mime apolis, or the basic price at Mime apolis would be $2.17. If No. 4 wheat is used in the mills of Min neapolis for the production of the

Let us assume that the handling expense, commission, etc., will bring this to $210 per bushel as the value of the wheat that goes upon the rolls; that means then, that the wheat at the rolls in the mill has cost $945 for the barrel of flour, or, to summarize, as follows:
 The actual figures:

A Tragic Event.

1t was a town girl-and the same
sad story that, a.as, has often been
told, and checkered many a young
life which had its beginning in sun
shine, surrounded by luxury and the
wealth of the world. Her eyes were
Wild and staring, her face was flushed
and her hands were nervously work
ing. She was deeply troubled and
injured woman, and we hear her say
ing: "Oh, cruel ono. you have in
iured the very foundation of my be-
ing! Day by day you have tortured
me, and yet could not bear to give
you up. When we first met, how
YCur ease and polish attracted me!
When you became my own, how my
friends envied me. But your under
standing is too small for my large
soul. You are opposed to my ad-
vancing myself. You have injured
my standing in society If we had
never met | might have walked in
peace. So now begone! We part
forever" There was moments
convulsive breathing, a gritting Of
teeth and sharp sigh. 1t was all
over By a supreme effort she had
pulled off her new shoe.-Central

"Bhe blocks, counters and blows of
boxing are closely initiated in bayo-

boxers who are learning to become
infantry fighters have remarked the
similarity of the butt sroke to the
body as counter for an opponent s
high thrust with the bayonet. At the
completion of this blow the position
of the bayonet men are identical with
those of boxers. a

STATEMENT Of
PRESIDENT WILSON
Issued In Connection with Wheat
Price Regulation.

The President has issued tht fol
lowing statement:
Under the food control act OF
August 10, 1917. it is my duty to an
nounce a guaranteed price for wheat
of the 1918 harvest. am, therefore,
issuing a proclamation setting the
price at the principal interior pri-
mary markets. II makes no essential
alteration in the present guaranty. II
is a continuation Of the present prices
of wheat, with some adjustments
arising from the designation of addi-
tional terminal marketing points.
This guaranteed price assures the
farmer of reasonable profit even if
the war should end within the year
and the large stores of grain in those
sections of the world that are now
cut off from transportation should
again come into competition with his
products. To increase the price of
wheat above the present figure. or to
agitate any increase of price would
have the effect of very seriously ham,
pering the large operations of the Ma
tion and of the allies by causing the
wheat of last years crop to be with
held from the market. 1t would,
moreover, dislocate all the present
wage levels that have been establish
ed after much anxious discussion and
would, therefore, create an industrial
unrest which would be harmful to
every industry in the country.
Knows Farmers Are Loyal.
Il know the spirit of our farmers
and have not the least doubt as to
the loyalty with which they will ac-
cept the present decision. The fall
wheat planting, which furnishes two
thirds of our wheat production, took
place with no other assurance than
this, and the farmers confidence was
demonstrated by the fact that they
planted an acreage larger than the
record of any preceding year, larger
by 100000 acres than the second
largest record year, and 100000
acres more than the average for the
five years before the outbreak of the
European war.
1T seems not 70 be generally un-
derstood why wheat is picked out for
price determination, and only wheat
among the cereals. The answer is
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1918-03-21

War has asked for authority to fur
Tough farmers of the National Army
if conditions permit it, so that they
may return to their farms when as
sisance is necessary in the planting
and harvesting of the crops. National
and local agencies are actively at
work besides in organizing commun-
ity help for the more efficient distri-
button of available labor and in draw
ing upon new sources of labor. While
there will be difficulties, and very
serious ones, they will be difficulties
which are among the stern neces.
sites of war.
Marketing to Be Facilitated.
"The Federal Railway Administra-
tion is cooperating in the most active,
Intelligent and efficient way with the
Food Administrator to remove diff
ficulties of transportation and of the
active movement of the crops. Their
marketing is to be facilitated and the
farmers given the opportunity to
realize promptly upon their stocks.
The Department of Agriculture
and the Food Administration Will con-
tinue to cooperate as heretofore to
assist the farmers in every way possi-
BILE. All questions of production, of
the marketing Of farm products, Of
conservation in the course of pro-
duction, and of agricultural labor
and farm problems generally will be
handled by the Department of Agri-
culture, while all questions of distri-
button of food supplies to the allies
and of conservation in consumption
will be handled by the Food Admins
tration; but the chief reliance is up
on the farmer himself, and am sure
that that reliance will be justified by
the results. The chief thing to be
kept in mind is that regulations of
this sort are only part of the great
general plan of mobilization into
which every element in the Nation
enters in this war as in no other. The
business of war touches everybody
1t is a stern business, cooperative
buiness, business of energy and
sacrifice, business of service in the
largest and best and most stirring
sense of that great word.
