building roads. The coming OF the
automobile has made il such that
counties are crossed in single

roads and the next does not. the 10y

The matter of state highways will

counties through which the hard,

PRICES.

tice." says the Charlotte Observer,
but things are not coming down
as fast us might have been hoped
for People are yet wondering. for
instance, why meats remain so high
why, with the war ended nearly
six months ago, there has not been
an approximate return to conditions
existing before the war"
The Observer possibly feels, as
most every one feels. that prices
should have a downward tendency
in view of the proximity of peace
and even the armistice. While ii is
a fact that the United States is stjll
at war tentatively, It is also a fact
that a resumption of hostlites is
next to impossible. and formal
declaration of peace is not very dis
tant. Many prices were advanced
during the war for various reasons,
supposedly an overwhelming de-
mand and accompanying scarcity OF
materials. and it is perhaps quite
true that there was little excuse for
the advance in many cases. How
were justified by the conditions OF
war, when such unusual conditions
are removed. is that not a good time
to get back to peace basis and peace
prices?
What is hindering the restora-
ton OF pre-war prices anyway" the
Observer asks. THE National In
dustrial Conference Board has just
made public an exhaustive report

GENERAL CROWDER NOT
REPROVED BY MARCH

Washington, Feb. 4-Discussion at

Marshal General Crowder had been
ieprimanded by General March, chief
Of staff. led the war department to
authorize n statement today that
General Crowdcr's entire military
record was unmarried, and to disclose
the origin of the reprimand story
1t was stated that when the second
draft was being planned General
March and General Croveer differed
ever the provision for medical ex-
aminations and exchanged letters on
the subject. The language of brief
abstract of General March's letter
which went to division headquarters
in the course of departmental rou-
tine was construed by General
Crowder as implying a reprimand
and he took the matter up with Sec
rotary Baker. The secretary wrote
in reply that he found no reprimand
was intended, but that to make this
clear he had had the language TO
which the general objected altered.

were equally represented, each as a

Second-An executive branch con-
sisting of two members from each of
the great powers, United States, Great
Britain France, Italy and Japan, and
nine members chosen from the small
powers. This gave the executive
body a total membership of nineteen,
of whom ten represented the great

small powers.
.Third-Arbitration was provided
for the determination of international

The foregoing. on broad lines, is the
project which meets with most favor
among the small nations, as they
would be represented both on the leg
islative and executive branches. It
is to be noted that such an organiza-
ton would follow somewhat the lines
of that of the present peace confer
ence, as the legislative branch is an
alogous to the plenary session of the
conference, while the executive branch
is similar to the council of the great
powers now holding daily sessions.
The revised plans make several i'm
portant changes. The legislative
branch remains the same, with the
great and small nations represented.
The executive branch is modified,
however, so as to consist chiefly of
the great powers, with two represent
atives from each, to which others
from the small powers may be added
when interests especially affecting
them are at issue.
The third branch is entirely

Paris, Feb. An important de-
cislon has been arrived at by the bu-
,eau in connection with the claim put
forward by Australians, New Yea
landers and South Africans that the
manufactures placed in control of the
former German colonies should be
empowered to bring their laws into
operation in these territories.
The British colonial administra-
tons have already in operation codes
under which the status and rights
and the immigration of colored or
foreign races are regulated. The
codes are based on long practical
experience in dealing with these
questions.

Tex, announced tonight that three of
the machines probably would contin-

place will be Yuma.
Lieutenant Searlei said that one of
the two damaged machines had been
repaired. It's broken propeller blade
having been replaced with anew part
from Ellington field. The other plane,
however, which turned completely
over in making landing in the mud,
is still out of commission and it has
not yet been decided whether to wait
for new parts from the home base or
ship it back again by rail.

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT Of JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Eat Less Meat and Take
Salts,

rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure states well-known author
ity. We are advised to dress warmly;
keep the feet dry; avoid exposure;
eat less meat. but drink plenty of
good water.
rheumatism is direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
slating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles
causing stiffness, soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twnge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts: put a table,
spoonful in a glass of water and drink
before breakfast each morning for a
week This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have pleas
ant efferVescent lthiaw water drink
which helps overcome uric acid and is
Beneficial to your kidneys as well.

WOOL PRICES To
Be FAIRLY GOOD
FOR SPRING CLIP

Salt Lake City Utah, Feb. 4.-Wool
growers will receive from forty to
fifty cents a pound for the coming
spring clip, according to w. Mcclure
secretary of the National Wool Grow
ers' association, who returned here to-
day from Washington. Mcclure went
to the capital in the interest of the
wool growers in an effort to counter
act what was alleged to have been an
effort to have the government sacrl-
flee the immense stock of wool in Bos-
ton warehouses.
The prices, according to Mr.. Nc
Clure, viii he about Is cents less than
for the last crop, but he says condi-
tions might have been worse.
The government has agreed to fix
a minimum price on the wool now In
the Boston warehouses, which is equal
to the British issue price, or the low
est price paid for wool in the world,
Mr.. Mcclure said. "The government
has agreed to discontinue these sales
on July /, if it has any wool remain
ing, in order not to interfere with the
sales of the seasons clips
