RETURNS TO BERLIN CAPTAIN O. PORTER
Overseas Over Two Years With United States Dept. Of Forestry
ASSIGNED TO FRONT LINES
Complains About Chicken Ihcfts- Horticultural Society-Victory Loan Drive Closes tToday-Over S1OO,OOO uRaised-Baseball Game.

Captain Oliver Porter, who has been overseas for over two years ar rived in town today. After spending a short furlough with his relatives he will report to the department Of forestry at Washington, expecting to receive his discharge at an early date. Captain Porter is a graduate of Cornell university and upon the opening of hostilities with Germany he immediately enlisted in the for estry department at Washington and was sent to France on 8 very short notice.
 After a years strenuous work in France, Captain Porter, at that time a.. first lieutenant, received from the war department his commission. as captain and was put in charge of a number of foresters with whom he was assigned to the regions which suffered heavily by the war.
 Captain Porter, during his stay overseas visited France, Italy, Eng land and Spain, where he demon etrated to the army officials of each country the forestry experiments which are being carried on by the United States government in ths country. He states that while in France during the latter part of the war, his company on several occa- stons was signed to do work near the front lines which was the only active service witnessed by him.
 In all probability, Captain Porter is the only local person. to take part at the peace conference at Paris, where he was assigned for the last few months doing clerical work. He was recently released and arrived at New York vest ercay and was immediately given furlOugh.
 Complains About Thefts.
 John Vendi of Beckley made Q complaint to the local police authorl' ties last evening, stating that during the past several weeks many of his chickens have been stolen from his <nroperty. He stated that upon ap- nroaching his chicken coop one morning last week he found wagon wheel marks leading up to the dool and after thorough investigation discovered that several of his prize ch;ckens were missing.

Applicants for Citizenship Are Not
Being Questioned as to- Po-

Applicants for citizenship are not
being asked whether they are mem
bers of the Nonpartisan league Mem
bership in that organization is not a
barrier to securing citizenship in the
United States. Reports to the con-

This is the sweeping statement of
Robert S. Coleman, naturalization ex.

dispatch from South Dakota, printed
In the Minneapolis Journal.
In this item, James Greeley, st. Paul,
deputy examiner, was quoted as say
ing that the Nonpartisan league had
been recognized publicly, as "disloyal
party" The dispatch intimated that
membership in the league would be
considered barrier to receiving citi-
zenship
Mr.. Coleman, however, denies that
any such statement was ever authen-

Greeley has denied ever having ques,
toned any applicant for citizenship
regarding his political beliefs, or his
membership in the Nonpartisan league

CHICKS INFESTED WITH. LICE
Mother Hen Should Be busted With
Some Good Insect Powder-Make,
Examination often.

Where chicks are raised with hens,
they are likely to become infested
with lice. II the lice get very nu-
merous, they greatly retard the chicks
growth and may even cause their
death. The hen should be powdered
thoroughly with some good insect
powder before she is put in the coor
with the chicks, and at intervals of
several days or a week thereafter.
The baby chicks should be examined
for lice, particularly on the head
under the wings and about the vent.
If any are found, q little grease, such
as lard, should be rubbed on in those
places. Apply grease moderately, as
too much will injure the chicks. The
chicks should be examined frequently
and the treatment repeated if lice are
found on them.

have the second and logical reason
why Italy should not have the
Fiume.
Our statesmen have publicly de-
clared for this great principle; con-
sequently on the Fiume question de-
pends whether they can stick to their
agreement to abolish this very i'm
portant cause of war.
Just how unpopular" public own
ership has become, as the big press
would say, is shown by the way the
country is adopting it. Seattle,
Wash, has just taken over $15, ,0O0,-
900 street car plant. That is, it IS
worth that much if the traction in
terests have not unloaded lot of
watered stock and run down equip
ment. Mayor Ole Hanson of that
city, who is such a famous patriot
now, would probably deal gently with
a poor street car company.
At the other end of the country,
Lynn, Mass, is talking of street car
service free of charge. Not fool
idea, iether. The late Tom Johnson
of Cleveland, Ohio, believed in it, and
from experience too. After the
great Johnstown (Pa.) flood his trac-
ton company rendered service free
for several weeks. But Johnson did
not dare advocate it because his be-
lief in public ownership and the g.
cent fare made him enough trouble.
We are moved so little by reason
and so much by custom that lot
OF good things are "damfoolish" just
because they are new.
By the way, we haven't heard any
of the advocates of private owner
ship demanding a referendum on the
railroad question. The must know
how the country feels about it and
prefer to deal with the more pliable
feelings of old-line politicians.
The man who starts any worth
while reform in America gets badly
beat up in the press, at least, if not
physically-this has happened so
often as to amount to a principle. A
little recollection will serve to prove
it. The latest example is probably

M|LLERS BOOST PRICES
Bran and MiddIings Shoot Up
ward When Government
Ban Is Lifted.
University Expert and Stock Feeders
Say Raise Is Unsatisfactory
Reason For 1t Is That Miliers
Have Power to Take the
Price and They Do II.

Millers, protected by the milling
combine of Minneapolis, who almost
doubled the price of bran and mid
dlings Immediately after the restric-
tions of the federal food administra-
ton were lifted, are entirely without
economic justification for their act,
according to F. w. Peck, associate in
farm management at the college of
agriculture of the University of Mime
sofa.
The day before the federal restric-
tions were lifted, bran was quoted at
$27.73 and middlings sold for $2973.
Immediately upon the lifting of the
restrictions, the price of bran shot to
SAL ton, while middlings sold at SAG.
The price of flour advanced only
slightly, it having been shown by pre-
vious investigations, that the flour
price brought enormous profits to the
millers, for flour milled at war stand
ards, from wheat bought from farmers
at the guaranteed war price.
For some time there has been gen.
eral feeling in Minnesota, that prices
of millers' products would leap sky
ward just as soon as the federal "inter-
ference" with their profits was re-
moved. Without reason, prominent
economists say, the millers shot up
the price of bran and middlings Just
as soon as they were able to do it.
Even the millers have not been able
to justify the unprecedented and un-
warranted jump in prices 1t is ad-
mitted that the cost of production has
not advanced. The guaranteed price
of wheat remains the same The cost
of handling the by-products of this
wheat is unchanged
Millers say that the law of supply
and demand is responsible for the
rise. They say that the farmers have
been paying less in the past under
government regulation, than they can
be forced to pay, without such federal
interference" They say that the de-
mand is such that they can get the
increased price. They do not explain
how any overnight increase in the
demand could be responsible for the
overnight jump in the price of bran
and middlings.
Stock feeders, on the other hand,
are emphatic in their statement that
the milIers merely increased the prices
because they could. There was no
longer federal restraint of profits.
The millers found that they could get
the prices-and they did it.

THE WEEK
Steel Trust Would Lean on the
Farmer
The Farmer as a "Fall Guy"
The Fiume Fuss
A Boom in Public Ownership
Another Prophet Beaten Up

Whenever the big interests are in
need of "fall guy" they turn in
stinctively to the farmer. He had to
hold the wheat sack open during the
war at a price of about 81 a bushel
under what he would have received
in an uncontrolled market that wages
might not Interfere too much with
the war profteers. Now steel inter-
ests and some government officials
in cahoots with them propose a big
reduction in the wheat price to get
labor to accept lower wages.
The government will stand this
loss ON the guaranteed wheat price,
runs the argument, but other cereals
will be lower in sympathy with
wheat. Lower wages will make pos
sible lower steel prices without in
terfering with steel trust profits.
The suggestion to lower wheat
prices coming from the steel inter-
ests, however, is only a part of a
widespread propaganda to sustain
profiteering by raids on the Ameri-
can farmers. Now the department
of agriculture is announcing great
increases in farm earnings, based on
figures gathered and worked up in
the usual misleading style. It is an
nouncing bumper crops before the
seed for them is in the ground. Not
long ago it put out figures on the
worlds wheat supply gathered by Of
flcial imagination.
Other interests and officials are
talking about $1.25 wheat, when the
world market with the reported"
surplus is higher than our present
fixed price. Where is that surplus
now? 1t doesn't exist, and the pos
sible planting of 1919 will not take
care of the world needs.
The whole propaganda is a part
of a plan to put the burden of sus-
tanning our war standards of pro-
fteering on a class already produc-
ing below the cost of production.
The farmers can not defend them
selves as yet and the profteers can.
The great fuss about whether
Italy shall have Fiume can be better
understood If we realize that the
possession of this port of entry
would give Italy control of the vast
trade territory of Hungary and
Jugo-Slavia.. 1t would be very
similar to the control the Minneapo-
lis grain combine has on the North
west grain territory. Imagine an
other big grain combine which would
also like to control this territory, and
you see one of the big objections of
letting Italy have Fiume. English
and French exporters, too, would
Ike a special chance there and at
least a free entry. Now imagine a
large group of public opinion like
that of the organized farmers of the
Northwest, which holds that there
should not be any artificial or mono
polistic trade rights at all, and you
