RETAIL FISH PRICES UNCHANGED;
TLEFISH NOW PLENTIFUL

Washington housewives will find no
change in the retail prices of fish
quoted below from those given last
Tuesday. During most winter sea-
sons the bulk of fish consumed con-
sists of those from storage, but the
mild weather this season has thus
far permitted fresh fish to be caught
and sold in moderate quantities.
Whiting heads the list of frozen fish
for abundance, while Spanish mack
erel constitutes the largest part of
the fresh fish trade.
Butterfish, fresh, IA to 20 cents
pound.
Cod, fresh. 16 to 90 cents pound
Mackerel (Spanish), fresh, 90 to 81
cents a pound.
Tilefish. fresh, Ii to q cents a pound.
Trout, frozen, II to Is cents pound.
Whiting, frozen. ; to 9 cents a pound.
Oysters, standard, 80 to 80 cents a
quart; select, co to 20 cents a quart.
Tilefsh was not known to exist
until 1870, when it was suddenly dis
covered to occur in immense quanti-
ties off the coast of southern New
England. In less than three years
after its discovery this fish became
apparently exterminated. The gulf

LACK OF FIBER CLOSES
MANY GERMAN MILLS
Next to Foodstuffs Nothing Is So
Badly Needed as Supplies Of
Cotton and Wool.

BREMEN, Germany, February A.
Next to foodstuffs probably nothing else
Is so badly needed in Germany today as
cotton and wool. / had a talk with two
members OF the Bremen Cotton Ex-
change, Arnold Fritze and Urban vor
Cleve, and the following summary of the
situation is based on facts and figures
given me by these men:
More than 95 per cent of the cotton
mills of Germany, having a total of
IA, 600 900 spindIes. are idle, and the re-
mainder are running on short time
working up remnants. Even these are
practically exhausted. II the mills could
be started. am told that they would
furnish employment to more than one
million people, half Of whom are actual
operatives and others employed one way
or another in handling raw material
and finished goods.
Bremen in Bad Way.
Cotton workers are a good class of
people, the political faith of most of
them being majority socialist, with a
leaning to the right and sprin-
ton trade Bremen is indeed in a bad
way. as out of 2,S00.0 900 bales annual
|ly imported by Germany 100000 are
handled at this port. The enormous
docks and expensive machinery are
now Of no use whatever.
Won Cleve and Fritze anxiously in
quired as to the prospects of receiv-
ing cotton from America. They said
they understood that 100000 bales
could be spared If the blockade was
lifted and the tonnage was available.
Made Enormous Profits.
They told me that the cotton people
made enormous profits in the first
wear of the war. but that since then
they had spent all. owing to the COM
plete cutting off of their income and
the great increase in the cost of liv-
ing.
Both my informants have been de-
voting their time to social and Red
Cross work in the last three years.
| The need of cotton is apparent every
where. Fabrics can be had only at
prices far beyond the reach of the
poor, and, the demobolized soldiers
are all going about their civilian tasks
| in uniform because of the impossj-
/ bility of obtaining other clothes.

GROVES IN MEMORY OF FALLEN
SOLDIERS.

As memorial to those who have sa-
crifced their lives for us in the world
war guns and souvenirs Of the war are
far too petty. A memorial should be
dignifed, impressive and beautiful; yes,
and living; not cold, dead pile Of
stone or concrete.
What can fill these conditions better
than grove of trees? What is more
beautiful and dignifed? What would
be more impressive for future genera
tons than a stroll through the cathed-
raj arches of such a sacred grove? Let
each city and village plant a grove in
proportion to it's size, a living tribute
to her sons who took part in the war
for freedom. It will grow steadily
more beautiful as the years 60 by and
will endear itself to the people as moth
ing else could. A grove for every mum
icipality in the state!
And for the state itselfs What
could be more impressive than a double
row Of trees along the Jefferson High
way from Iowa to the Canada lines
Probably more people would see and
gather inspiration from such a. memor-
ial than ever would see any other that
could be erected.-E. G. Cheyney, divi-

~ Aky IL uckloys S&
Minnesota Public Health Journal:
The subject Of providing hot lunches
for rural school children has furnished
much matter Of controversy at farm
ers club meetings in Minnesota. Pro
gressive mothers valiantly and too Of
ten IN vain, argue against allowing
their children to eat lunches which have
frozen on the way to school and have
tailed to thaw. out at the arrival of the
lunch hour. These same mothers have
asked that the teacher be given super
vision Of the lunch hour. One such
mother at q farmers gathering said:
1--WE see our children sitting on the
doorstep on cold spring and autumn
days eating, or eating and playing at
the same time, swallowing their food
almost without chewing, yet we allow
the teacher to let this 20 on, ond we
expect our children to grow mentally
and physically.''
Members Of farmers clubs heartily
endorse all projects which make for the
good Of pigs and cattle. They are
willing to feed dumb animals warm
feed in winter, but q plan to provide
one small item which might tend to
insure good health for their children
provokes but little comment or approx
al from the executive body of most
farmers meetings.
One community in our state decided
to provide facilities for serving hot
lunches in the school after the follow.
ing short talk was given them by one
of our M. P. 81: A. nurses. She said:
ct emphatically endorse all that can
be said in favor Of hot lunches. A
hot lunch does not mean the serving of
an entire lunch but just the serving of
one hot food. This may be cocoa
creamed soup, baked potatoes, a. cream
ed vegetables, rice, or any food which
can be prepared with a kerosene stove
equipment.
The articles Of food necessary for
the lunches may be bought by the
school board, or families in the school
district may take turns supplying them.
This can be done at very small cost,
and the benefits your boys and girls
will get from a hot lunch will pay you
thrice fold. # the feeding of cattle
deserves consideration, need more be
said about hot lunches for our boys and
girlss Let us look at it from OUT own
Standpoint. IF we were to eat five cold
lunches and perhaps frozen lunches
each week, how would we feel, what
would our sentiments bes believe we
would all say 'build on kitchen, get
cook give the children square meal.
So why not serve one hot food each
day, and help the children to see the
bright side of life.'
