HOOVER TO CEASE
HIS RELIEF WORK
next JULY
Continued from Page on,.l

ket the whole of this years crop
without loss to the government
AS to whether the government
will deliberately take loss below
the price of $2.26 a bushel in order
to lower the price of bread is mat
ter that will have to be determined
by the officials of the day. 1t APP
pears to me that the world price of
wheat, if there is free market, may
be above $40 and in any event
such a loss would be in direct sub
traction from bread prices just as
it is paid now in European coun-
tries"
Asked concerning certain criti-
cisms arising from the government
having fixed the price of wheat, Mr..
Hoover said he originally opposed
the fixing of the price, and after
ward on every occasion when con-
gress endeavored to raise the price.
He added that he considered then,
and also did now, that the world
situation required stimulation to
production by guarantees to farm
ers, bit that he was anxious to have
the matter left to the administra-
ton. He recommended that the
guarantee should be placed on the
basis of so much per acre of wheat
planted, he said:
Il have always believed that
stimulation could be secured
with a subsidy of from 81 to
SIS per acre, and that such subsidy
on 100000 acres of wheat planted
in the United States would have at
the outside cost $300,000,000, and
believe this would have been equally
just and satisfactory to the farmer"
100000 Tons of Food Distributed
Washington, March "a review
of the relief work conducted in Eu-
rope under the direction of Herbert
c. Hoover since the signing of the
was made public today by
the food administration. 1t shows
that 100000 tons of food, chiefly
-four and fats, has been sent to the
distressed civilian populations and
that stats to determine needs and
direct distribution of relief have |
been established in practically all |
the countries in central Europe.
Immediately after the end of hos !
tilities President Wilson made avail |
able $5,000000 of his special war
fund for European relief and this |
now has been supplemented by the
$l00000,000 appropriation by con-

TELLS HOW HE GOT
RID OF HIS CORNS
Well-Known Man Relates
Remarkable Experience.

"By Georgei never saw anything like
the effect of that new treatment, lce-Mint,
for removing corns and bringing quick re-
lief to tired, swollen, aching, burning feet.
1t acted like a miracle in my case, said Q
well-known man yeAterday, in speaking Of
this discovery which has caused such big
stir among Foot Specialists. Il had carried
a pet corn for years that simply took all
the Joy out of life. tried plasters, salves,
ether compounds and all of the other dope"
that is supposed tol do the trick, but the
Fostering thing simply would not leave me.
l began to think there was nothing on earth
that would kill my corn, when finally
read about the remarkable results obtained
by foot sufferers from the use of Iee-Mint.
/ decided to try it for myself and before
hardly realized it my corn came out-ropt
and aH-and without causing the least pain
or soreness. Believe me, 1t seems mighty
good not to be afraid some one is going to
hit my pet corn--and the relief-well, that
just seems like Paradise"
Ice-Mint is a pure, snow-white, creamy
preparation made from genuine Japanese
product and is highly appreciated by
women who wear high heel shoes and by
men who stand on their feet all day. 1t
draws the inflampation out of swollen, tired
or burning feet and loosens hard or soft
corns SO they can easily be lifted out with
the fingers-root and alls besides, it inn
parts such a delightful, cooling, soothing
sensation that you will Just sigh with re-
lief. It is selling like ~'sWild Fire" here.
Try it. Just ask in any drug store for a
little Ice-Mint and give your poor, suffer-
ing, tired, aching feet the treat Of their
lives.
There is nothing better. or nothing just
as good.

ORLANDO HINTS

italian Premier Asks Chamber

Must Return to Paris
Peace Conference.

Rome, March o.-The chamber Of
deputies adjourned Saturday until
April 8. The adjournment was taken
at the request of Premier Orlando,
who indicated his desire to return
to Paris to be present during an
important stage of the peace con-
ference.
nct,rring to the league of nations,
the premier said an ideal could be
obtained only when hard realities
were taken into account. They must
not be surprised if all protested to
be adherents of President Wilson
on condition that his principles were
applied to others. Fortunately there
was perfect coincidence between abb
solute justice and satisfaction of
Italian aspirations.
This evoked cheers and the pre-
mier concluded by expressing the
conviction that Italy was strong
enough to surmount the last difficult

Two Notable Lives Are
COntraSted From Pulpit

At the First Baptist church Sun
day night, the pastor, A. A. De-
Larme, spoke on Two Notable
Lives Contrasted." Zone realized
his responsibility to God, his coun-
try and his fellowmen. He lived
for the highest and most worthy
ends, impelled by altruistic motives.
He was greatly prospered, became
channel of blessing to others and
left a name that will never die.
"The other lived a self centered
life, His inclinations were re-
strained by no sense of obligation.
He took no heed TO his ways except
50 far as worldly prudence dictated
certain courses for securing igno-
bic and perishable ends. He seemed
to prosper and shine for a time. but
in the end lost all. His property
was swept away. His daughters
came to grief. His home and his
life were wrecked.
1.-THE nations and the worlds best
asset is good men and women.
Character outshines and outlives
everything else. What church is
following most nearly the plan and
purpose of Almighty God, whatever
its name or creed, that is doing
most to remove the evils that de-
stroy men and is contributing most
to the well-being of society and the
human race"

New York, March 9.-Rev. DR..
George A. Simmons, a Methodist
missionary, who was stationed in
Russia for II years and who APP
peared as a witness before the
senate committee investigating
propaganda, started a tempest
when he declared in an address at
the Central Y. M. G. A. in
Brooklyn today that President
Wilson was playing into the
hands of the bearers of the red
flag"
Instantly there were cries of
THAT is treason" and Throw him
out" but a sergeant Of police and
three patrolmen saved the speaker
from rough handling by persons
in the audience of 700 who heard
his assertion.
Three sailors in uniform de-
manded that DR.. Simmons apol-
ogize and he responded that "he
believed President Wilson was as
fine a gentleman as we have in
America"

MADE BY
GEN. CROWDER
TO CRIT CISM

published after General Crowder
had called it to Mr.. Bakers atten-
ton.
The Judge advocate general said
the supposed controversy" between
himself and General Ansell as to
military Justice had been magnihed
since the real issues and the only
ones" were in differences of opin-
ion as to the power to review and
overturn executed verdicts of gem
eral court-martial existed and
whether that power should be exer-
cised by the Judge advocate general
or the president.
Turning to criticism that the SEN
fences Of court-martial during the
war have been atrociously severe.
General Crowder wrote that this
was not criticism of the system of
military justice and not criticism
of his administration Of that system.
Harsh Sentences Reduced.
ut is a criticism" he said, "of the
officers who imposed, for instance,
sentences of death for sentinels
convicted of sleeping on post, for
soldiers wilfully and contumaciously
refusing to obey the direct orders of
their commanding officers, and for
desertion in time of war, and it is a
criticism of the congress which
authorized a death penalty, in plain
statutory terms, to be assessed on
conviction for these offenses. / do
not mean to say that, if criticism in
the connection is due, | am immune.
l am not. l agree with the statute,
and shall defend it, but | am not re-
sponsible for it.
ITO us at home, in comfort, and
in present peace, it is next to i'm
possible to reconcile the almost un-
animous view of soldiers in the field
or theater of war on the gravity of
these and many other lesser Of
lenses by their comrades. There
fore, the execution of not one SEN
tence of death for these things has
been approved by me and not one
such sentence had been executed.
Also heavy sentences have been re-
duced comprehensively and uni
formly. But even with that said, !
can neither condemn the 100000 Of
hcers who assessed the sentences
nor the law of congress, nor the sys-
tenn under that law that made them
possible"

What could look worse than

Usually pimples can be avoided.
When food-waste lies in the system

and cause pimples.
Keep the bowels free from food

ton, dated March 2, explained that

sciousness from the fearful in
juries he received when he was
thrown nearly Is feet after the

fractures of the skull, one at the
base Of the brain From the first,
the surgeons said there was no hope
Of recovery, but after several days
Of apparently no change, Drs. HON.
bach and Rosenbladt concluded to
operate. The operation was per-
formed Thursday afternoon, and all
the relief that modern surgery
could offer was given. The opera
ton confirmed the correctness of
the diagnosis. that death was in
svitable

Germans but peace will not be here
till it is signed in Paris, and it may
be next autumn before Americans
are permitted to know everything
that is transporting along the Rhine.
A little freedom of the cables would
clear up this and many other mat
tiers which will remain mysterious
far too long,
Not only is seemingly needless
restriction laid on the press con-
corning many commonplace matters
which every doughboy will discuss
when he returns, but the censor
ship is so rigid that the most ordi-
nary and harmless matter is held up.
What is to be done with the Ger
man prisoners is another matter
which the peacemakers in Paris do
not seem to have considered. There
are upwards of half a million Of
these prisoners in France, all of
them we'll fed and seemingly con-
tented. You see them at work on
our own docks in Brest, and in great
squads on the roads behind and near
the devastated district. They wear
their army coats, dyed to a bright
green, and green fatigue caps so
that they could be easily distin-
guished if they attempted to get
away, .e.... -..
Propose to Keep Provisions.
Now the French in all seriousness
propose to keep these German
prisoners at work as long as they
live. | did not hear this proposal
made by either the premier or the
foreign minister, but / heard it from
many French officers and French Of
ficials.
1T will be one way to help pay
the indemnity" said a French cav
airy colonel, 1--WE shall treat them
kindly and feed them we'll, but we
must not let them go, not ever"
Now this may be and doubtless is
poetic justice, but it is also very
much like slavery. And the sooner
it is brought to the attention of the
peace council, the better it will be.
For the French people are begin
ming to be delighted with the idea
and will be very much disappointed
if they learn, of sudden, that it is
not to be.
The question of the indemnity is
one which must be settled soon. The
longer Germany goes hungry, the
more chance will there be for the
sweep of the bolsheviks across the
and the less chance that
will be left out of which
to pay an indemnity.
The French seem to understand
this but Nittle. But there are hope
full indications that both Mr.. Wilson
and the British do understand it.
if there shhall be long
dispute and debate over
the league of nations, Germany may
be embroiled from one end to an
other with riot and bloodshed, and
when the conquering nations come
to gather the golden egg, the goose
will be dead at their feet.
