license issued February 90
Officials of the food administra-
ton had expected to reach an
agreement before the first of the
month on continuance Of minimum
prices for hogs, but after confer
ences with the war trade board and
President Wilson it was announced
no decision would be possible until
the president could consider the
whole matter of export embargoes.
Two statements were issued TO-
night by the food administration.
One dealt entirely with the effort OF
the war trade boards order. This
order said former Governor Stuart
of Virginia, chairman of the ma
tional agricultural advisory COM
mittee, has sent to ''his committee

tration" to maintain the minimum
price for hogs.
Statement of Food Administration.
The statement regarding the
boards action said in part:
THE practical effect of this ac-
ton Of the war trade board is to
destroy the ability of the United
States food administration to fur
Their stabilize the price Of live hogs.
1t was the desire and has been the
endeavor of the food administration
to continue this sterilization as here
tofore and until March 81, when the
normal marketing period of hogs
farrowed in the spring of 1918 would
have terminated.
THE whole program of stabiliza-
ton of prices was the outgrowth Of
the imperative necessity for stimu-
lated hog production for war needs
at time when a dangerous short
age of fats threatened the entire
allied world.
THE obligation with respect 10
the pigs narrowed in the spring of
1918 began with the marketing OF
September and would have been
terminated March 81. From IS to
90 per cent of these hogs have been
sold. The European demand for
hog products Will increase rather
than diminish.
The supply of live hogs coming
to market in March and April will
be greatly reduced in numbers. The
European markets are opening
rapidly to free trading in hog prod
ucts and the area to be supplied is
being made increasingly accessible
The enemy countries are to be Civ
en- opportunity to secure hog prod
ucts and other foods.
"It is possible that as a conse-
quence of the general situation the
price of hogs and pork may go high
err than the stabilized prices which
have been maintained and which the
suod administration desired to be
continued to March 81, next"

Want to Come Home

Discomfort is seething among

The went over to lick Germany;
they have licked Germany; now they
demand that they be returned home.
They're through. They don't give
a snap of their fingers whether
Poland gets Danzig, whether Italy

in Kiao-C -Chau a month or year, or
whether the Jugo-Slavs get all they
want or nothing they want. These
strong, outstanding, energetic, am

cans threw themselves with glow

Germany. That was mission
worthy of this manhood, worthy,

now that their object has been
attained, they feel that, so far as
concerns them it is about time, as
one of them expressed it, that "the

Foster Parents OF Our Children

The men and women who are
making the Americans of tomorrow
are being treated with less consid-
GRAFTON than the janitors who sweep
out the buildings in which they are
employed; they are earning, on the
average, less than the wages given
to the scrubwomen employed in the
public buildings of the United States
Government. Normal school grad
yates receive less salary than street
sweepers; high school principals
less than section foremen; country
school teachers less for instructing
the farmers children than he pays
his hired man to feed his hogs.
No wonder there are $4,000 va
cancies in the teaching forces of the
schools. No wonder the ranks are
being filled with weak men and
with immature women who merely
use the profession as stepping -stone
to something better. No wonder
there are 10000 teachers in the
United States who have had no
schooling beyond the eighth gram
mar grade. Small wonder, indeed,
that 100000 of our school chill
dren are being trained by teachers,
mere boys ana girls lnellSSlNSS' VIM
have had no professional education
whatever.
When we consider that the 740,-
900 teachers of America are paid
an average salary of $500 a year;
when, moreover, we consider the
fact that living costs have actually
advanced 103 per cent. since the be-
ginning of the war, thereby cutting
the buying power of these insignifi-
cant salaries in half, we can easily
determine that only fool or
martyr would choose teaching as a
profession. or would long remain
in IL unless these terrible conditions
were swiftly remedied.
The peace and security OF the
world of the future will be in the
safe keeping of the generation now
in our schools. The teachers ask

Song For England in the East

From Egypt into China they nave
builded them a wall;
They have held the front of Eden
from the Teuton and his thrall'
On the snowy stairs OF Elburz you
may hear their bugles call,
"Ye are safe! Be at ease! fe
are safe!
There are garden in the southland
where the Tartar may not go;
There is dewy corn in Babel Where
the desert used to blow;
In the vineyards over GAIA you may
see the grapes aglow;
"Ye are safe! Be at ease! Ye
are safe"
You shall watch the ships adrifting
with the tigris underkeel;
In the crooked streets of Bagdad
you shall see the camels kneel
with the good things out of Persia
that the robber could not steal:
,"Ye are safe! Be at ease! Ye
are safe!"
In the brain of wounded England lay
the silence for a span;
Then she rose and wrought a mar

oh, we women-folk of Irak! Oh, We
children of Iran!
"Ye are safe! Be at ease! Ye
are safe"
