LITTLE EXPECTATION
 FOR A DROP IN PRICE

The American Lumberman says
 As a majority of the southern vel low pine mills are connected with tine southern pine emergency bureau the announcement that the federal trade commission has authorized an advance of S1.09 per thousand feet may be termed the most important develop ment connected with the market At the same time the mills selling through the Georgia Florida emer- goncy bureau have been granted an advance of s1. The manufacturers have contended that the increased costs of production Justified an in crease and as the finding of the fed eIal trade commission was based on a showing of costs the action is of much significance. The government is a preferred customer In that it pays less than private concerns, but the prices are close enough together to show that there is little basis for expectation of drop in price.
 The car situation is distinctly spot ted. The number of embargoes in the south is growing and in some sections much trouble is reported in getting cSfS TOT government orders. Some mills have been forced to close down night shifts because of lack of labor, and as this is the season when there is generally the largest supply of labor available in the south the condition can hardly be expected to improve greatly. In the southeast the mills are still rushed with government or ders and many more are in prospect. Cntil the last 10 days the demand from domestic consumers has been slug gish in that territory, but there has been sudden pick up in business or this character, though the mills have difficulty in handling all of 1t because of the necessity of giving first attention to the government Produc- ton, on the whole increases slowly. but it is not keeping up with the in- crease in the volume of orders that are being placed

Market Will Remain Strono

This is what the American Lumber- man reports from Beaumont. Tex: The fact that the demand for all classes of lumber is holding up. regardless of the unusual conditions throughout the lum- Der consuming territory causes local lumber manufacturers to believe that the market will remain strong all win ter and that buying this spring and summer will be unusually heavy.

APPEALING FOR AID

MT. Potter is one of those who be- llcves that at this time it is the duty or men of capital and of manufacturers to provide all of the additional cap ital and aid which are needed in or Ger to bring to the highest point pos- sible the food products of the Amer ican soil. The farmers are able and Willing to furnish efficiency, but they need capital and they need the aid of the manufacturers To quote again from Mir Potter: The farmers loan bank act will help. A more liberal policy of making loans to the farmers Will help. But the bankers and man utacturers and capitalists generally must actually take up and engage in the business of farming They must try to apply to farming the modern ideas of crganizatio system and ef- riciencys that have made possible tho great industrial organizations of the day"
 It is to the south that the people must look for increased production of meat and other food supplies, espe- clslly the grains such as Indian corn ana wheat. For in the south every crcp Of the north and west, including corn, grows In profusion and fur nishes With the greatest economy the proteins the fats and the carbohy- drates necessary for balanced rations Here then is man of western birth, or prominence as a lawyer of the New fork bar. of high standing as a rail- road president who intfmates that one Of the remarkable changes occasioned by the war will be very high devel- opment of the south as food prodlic- ing section of the United States and cooperation and co-ordination in farming upon very great scale

Which Begins April 9.
The second issue Of The Modern Health
Crusader Is now on the. press and will be
ready for distribution this week. The
paper Is a monthly, published by the YER
mont Association for the Prevention Of
tuberculosis. and is printed in the third
week Of each month during the school
year. 1t aims to educate the children Of
the State in the essentials Of hygiene.
and contains a number Of articles which
are of interest to the adult as well as
to the juvenile portion of the population.
Among the articles in this months issue
is one by DR.. c. F. Dalton, secretary
of the State Board Of Health. who deals
with the baby saving campaign. 1t is
asked that the people of Vermont join
in the campaign to save the lives Of 100000
babies during the second year Of the
war. The campaign starts on the ami
versary of the declaration of war. April
g. The principal effort will be made dur
ing the first 60 days following the sixth
of April. 1t is asked of Vermont that
she save the lives of 321 children under
five years Of age, who, without this extra
care. might not survive. 1t will be quite
possible to do this. in the opinion Of the
experts, for 1t is estimated that one
half the deaths Of infants might be pre-
vented by proper care and feeding Free
medical attendance and meetings of an
educational character will be features of
the campaign.

amount In cash. He decided, in order to
help along on the rest, that he would 20
into a light sort of smuggling. He was
arrested before he got a start in the busi-
ness Just after he had secured three
horses In Montreal and tried to get rid Of
them In this country without paying duty
on them. Colombo thought that his little
farm would AFFORD excellent facilities for
smuggling and the speedy detection of his
course probably prevented defraudinr the
government of a good amount Of money
Judge Howe, In pronouncing sentence
made 1t clear that smugglers would not be
dealt with leniently in the future. :
The grand Jury reported In the afternoon
and were dismissed with the thanks of the
court. While it was thought there would
be a number Of chancery cases to be heard
this week. it Is not unlikely that a recess
VIII be taken for the remainder of the
week. There Ia q great deal Of business
to be cleared up. Judge Howe has had
strenuous session in New York city and
he Will perhaps devote the remainder of
the week to finishing up some of that
work. There are also many cases of
bankruptcy and things Of that sort which
will be cleared up. The petit Jury does
not report until next Wednesday so no
criminal cases will be tried at present.
