Former soldiers, sailors and marines

come disabled in the service of the
army or navy, no matter what the ex-
tent or nature OF such disability, are
enabled to have their applications for
training acted on much more quickly
than formerly Heretofore all appE-
cations for training were referred
from the district vocational office to
the federal board at Washington for
action, thereby entailing much delay
and working needless hardships on
the men making the applications. I'm
der the new system all of these appll-
cations are acted on by travelling field
who have been sent
out from Washington. These repre-
setatives cover the entire country and
visit each vocational board at least
once every two weeks, at which time
all cases ready in the district office
are cleared up. The only cases which
such travelling representatives must
refer to Washington are those involv.
ing courses for period longer than
two years. On these the Washington
office will give decision within ten
days.

Men who have had major amputa-
lions, such as the loss of a hand or

FOOD PRICES SOAR
Decrease in Supply in July

Washington, Aug. S.-With living

department Of agriculture. corn show
ed a reduction Of 27,0O0,000 bushels;
oats $4,000 bushels; barley 27,00o,-
900 bushels, and white potatoes, S4,-
O0O,0 bushels. Rice alone of all the
crops, showed an increase.
Total production Of wheat was fore
cast at 940,O00.000, but this was an
increase of 23,O00.00O bushels over the
forecast last December and 49,000,-
600 bushels over the five-year average
from 1913 to 1918. Winter wheat
showed the greatest loss with 124 .00O-
900 bushels with spring wheat pro-
duction showing a decline in 97,O00,-

FOOD COSTS AND sToocK
MARKET.

The assertions Of food manufac-
fnSers that they are not at all re-
aponsible for burdensome prices would
ba more convincing if it were not for
the stell-tale testimony of the stock
market.
Almost without exception, the stock
OF, corporations engaged in making
or handling foodstuffs and drinks has
gone up lately. There seems to have
been more of a boom in them than
In almost any other line Of securities.
The market, price Of securities is a
pretty good barometer. When there
is boom in any line, it means that
that line is making more money than
nsaaa
There is no question that the food
indHstry In general has been making
great deal Of money. And however
the men interested may justify their
profits to themselves, they will have
great difficulty in justifying them to
the public on whom the burden falls.

The question of providing funds for
the expenses of the primary was dis
cussed at some length. The commit
tee has only small balance left from
the last campaign, and as the county
committees are not permitted by the
party rules to levy assessments upon
congressional candidates, this being
the prerogative of the State Commit

funds may be drawn, except voluntary
contributions from members OF the

ed to communicate with the State
Committee and ascertain what part
of the expenses of the primary that
BODY would pay. 1t was also decided
that each member of the County Ex-
