in l772 the Poles came to their sel--

king appropriated money for an army,
brought school reforms and especial

um Veto' and gave new constitu-
ton which was adopted on May g.,
1892 but Russia would not permit the
reorganization of Poland and the
second dismemberment took place in
1898 which was ratified by the Silent
Diet at Gradno in which when the
question of approval came to be de-
cided for hours all the senators re-

titiOn took place and Poland was
wiped off the face of Europe. Later
on in the time of Napoleon the
Duchy of Warsaw was established
and ninety thousand Poles fought
with Napoleon but after his downfall
in 1882, after another unsuccessful
revolution this Duchy of Warsaw
was absorbed by Prussia. Still an
other revolution in 1868 failed to i'm.
prove matters, but in spite of all
these disasters Poland lived dismem-

That day is near, for although Po'
land suffered more than any other he

five million of her population, the day
of her liberation is at hand. Poland
must be rebuilt as a necessity to put

helpless nation and If left to German
exploitation, Germany, in spite of the
allied victory, woLYd become the
greatest world power, and surely the

WEEKS FOOD FACTS
PRICE OF FALL HOGS TO BE

POULTRY INDUSTRY

The United States food administra-
ton has advised it's Minnesota office
that it will continue the assurance of
$3.50 per hundred as the average of
packers droves at Chicago Of hogs far
rowed this fall.
In defense of the dairy industry of
the United States and Of the children
among the allies, the United States food
administration is appealing to the farm
ers Of America "not to use wheat mill
feeds for other purposes than the feed
ing Of dairy cattle poultry, young
pigs or calves or the preparation Of a
bran mash for work animals.' The food
administration emphasizes further
more, the fact that no more wheat mill
foods than usual should be feed to such
animals. It also askes that farmers shall
not have on hand at any one time more
than sixty days. supply of such feeds
Wheat flour substitutes must be sold
concurrently with the sale of flour to
consumers, including public eating
places and other institutions whether OF
not they hold bakers licenses. The rule
that bakers may purchase from some
other source than that from which they
obtain their wheat flour does not ap-
ply to public eating places. Certificates
that substitutes have been purchased at
some other place have been discontin'
ued.
The food administration will use all
of it's enforcement machinery against
dealers who attempt to reap large prof
its from the American butter market.
Butter, both storage and fresh, must
be sold at prices not to exceed
stipulated margin over what the
butter costs the dealer.
q q
Storage holdings of poultry in Can
ada have decreased 81 per cent in the
last year. The need for increasing the
poultry industry in the United States is,
therefore, apparent.
