A review of crop conditions on Sep

that prices paid farmers and live
stock men during August underwent
an unmistakable decline. This, the
review makes plain, can in no way be
attributed to ordinary seasonal condi-

Prices farmers receive for the prin-

during August, the department an
nounced. The normal seasonal de-
crease for August is only 1.2 per cent
Included in what the department des-
ignates as principal crops are grains,
fruits and vegetab bles.
Prices paid livestock and poultry
raisers also decreased 2.3 per cent
from July 5 to August 15. During

HONAT APPEAL EXPIRES
Only Few Hours More for Mine Leader
to Enter, U. S. Court.

Governor Allen today conferred
with Fred S. Jackson. attorney for the
court of industrial relations. relative
to the Howat contempt case. The
state is keeping a watchful eye on su-
preme court motions today, the time
for Howat's appeal to the United
States supreme court expiring tonight.
Neither Governor Allen nor Jackson
would state positively the course to
be taken by the state in event the
Howat appeal is not filed latef today.
One report sent to the state house to-
day was to the effect that Howat has
moved his permanent residence to
Missouri. Such action, tho, would not
act as a bar against issuance of
commitment for the mine union leader
leader.
The suit to enjoin Howat and his
associates from calling of a mine
strike will be heard in Pittsburg
Monday. In view of the early date of
this case. there is a doubt that the
state would take immediate steps to
send Howat to Jail under the contempt
order of Judge Curran of the Craw-
ford county district court.
Jackson said he would not decide
as to his course until late today-pro-
vided the Howat. appeal is not filed
on time This afternoon Jackson
talked with Crawford county officials
over the telephone and discussed pos
sible action by the state.

ARE FACING CRISIS
Serious Situation Reported by
Federal Education Official.
Cannot Be Relieved Until SaIar-
les Hiked Many Times.

Washington. Sept. 10.-'tAmerican
public schools. opening for a new
year, face conditions of the utmost
seriousness" P. P. Claxton, commits
sioner of education said here today.
Among the things he enumerated
are: Lask of accomm odations for
three million of the army of children
re-entering city schools; shortage of
900 adequately trained elementary
school teachers, for both rural and
city schools; shortage of 5000 'ade-
Quately prepared city and rural high
school teachers;" shortage of $4,000
school rooms which, at present build
ing prices. would cost $4,000 600
to construct; the fact that from one
third to two-fifths" of American teach
ers lack adequate preparation"
It will take a minimum of three or
four years to relieve the school-room
cation officials. This is due to halting
of building during the war, present
cost of building and difficulty of float
ing school bond issues.
Schools will handle the room short
age by crowding and relaying pupils.
according to Claxton. but at cost in
efficiency in instruction impossible to
estimate"
Two remedies proposed to offset
the lack of accommodations are the
erection of temporary or portable
structures and the adoption of the
work. study, play system" The
shortage of teachers will not be re-
lieved until America is ready to pay
them three or four times the salary
they now receive" Claxton said.

Flirting Lost Art
With Modern Girls

Chicago, Sept 10.-F'lirting is lost
art, according to Alice Clements,
veteran Chicago policewoman. The
delights and thrills of pleasant harm
less filtration are matters of the past
Girls have run the art into the
ground, she said today. Where young
women formerly would start a young
mans heart beating fast by a demure
look or a lifting eyelid, the girls of
today have no time for such acting.
Nowadays, the girls just let them
selves be picked up" said Mrs.
Clements. ''All a boy has to do is to
tip his hat and get a girl"
Girls. Mrs. Clements said, are more
familiar with men now than in the
past.
And I refer to respectable girls"
