that there was great need for an
organized force in many of the states
during the transition period from a
state of war to one of peace.
The militia bureau. recognizing
this need, made every effort to en-
courage the organization of National
Guard units between the dates of No
vember IL, 1918, and June 80, 1919.
Because of the limited amount of
iAoney available for the Purchase or
equipment, and in order to meet an
emergency by securing Z great num-
Der of small armed forces located
throughout the states, the strength
for federal recognition was reduced,
but this reduction did not secure or

Bill's Failure Hampers.

The failure of'the appropriation bill
to pass the Sixty-fifth Congress fur
Their hampered the development of
National Guard units, because it Gre
ated doubts as to the future military
policy, and the amount of money
available for the, purchase of equip
ment was limited to the unexpended
balance for the fiscal year 1919. The
appropriation for that year was based
upon the supposition that the National
Guard would be at it's minimum
strength. No additional funds were
available for the development of the
National Guard until July II, 1919.
Since the passage. of the act of July
OF equipment from Army stores, every
effort has been made to supply com :.
plete equipment to the new units as
ignition is extended, The presen.
outlook for the complete equipment of
the National Guard is exceedingly IA
vorable." 49,
Officers in charge of militia affairs

most unanimous in their opinion that
national guardsmen recently dis
charged from the federal service ARE
surfeited with military activities"
according to the chief of the militia
bureau. The troops which served in
France mot only. decline to enter the
National Guard, but by their talk dis
incline others to do so;" reports from
the Southeastern Department said.
Gen. Carter and his assistants are
certain that this mental attitude will
be only temporary, and that within a
few months reorganization of the Ma
tional Guard will be in full swing in

FOOD AT TOP PRICES
BUT WON'T COME DOWN
Government Expert Says Cost Of Liv-
ing Finally Reaches Its Top
most Mark

Washington, July 5.-The cost of liv-
ing finally has reached it's topmost
mark; food prices will be no higher ;
but it may be years before there is a
decided drop, according to Assistant
Chief Marshall of the bureau Of mar
kets, department Of agriculture. In an
interview Marshall said:
"For about six months prices of food
and other commodities have remained
fairly stationary, except for seasonal
changes.
''In general present high prices are
due, first of all, to cheap money, and
next to mammoth depletion of the
worlds stock of goods, foods, and live
stock. There is a world shortage of
many staple commodities and foods"
High meat prices are caused by
world shortages, he said. Swine herds
are much decreased in almost every
country except the United States, agri-
cultural department records show. Ger.
many is short 100000 head of swine
and Denmark about 100000.
