American relief administration.
THE fact that the need for clothing
was second only to that for food was
established early in 1919" says the
report. "After four years OF war.
during which imports of raw ma
terials, woolens. cotton. manufactured
and with all stocks absorbed in meet
ing the demands of the military, no
particular Investigations were needed
to explain the dearth of clothing.
"Such clothing as remained was
priced at figures which made it i'm
possible for the really needy to buy.
AS in Belgium, 1t was not unusual to
find even the well-to-do wearing suits
made from curtain hangings. etc. and
the poor naturally were not able to
resort to such expedients.
Food for generating strength and
warmth was the most efficacious form
Of relief, yet to continue strength
and maintain warmth clothing was
essential
During the winter of 1880 there
were distributed 1.147.5O0 clothing
outfits. apportioned as follows:
Poland. 100000; Austria, 100000;
Czechoslovakia. 100000: Jugoslavia,
10000: Hungary, 10000: Finland,

fit consisted of a pair of substantial
all-leather boots. a pair of heavy
woolen stockings. a yard and one
half of fifty-four-inch woolen cloth
for making a child's overcoat and the
necessary buttons, needles and thread.
The average cost of an outfit was
s5.23 and the total expenditure was
$5.999,7S7.03.
Poland. Austria. Hungary and the
Baltic states will require clothing
relief during the coming winter. the
the report predicts, because of the
unquestioned distress to be expected
in those countries"

consisting of boots stockings and
material for overcoats. The allot-
ment proposed for Poland is $4,000

2O5 WOODEN SHIPS
INVOLVED IN SALE
Shipping Board Accepts Bid
of New York Firm for
Greater Part of Fleet.

She Shipping Board today was in a
fair way of getting rid of the major
portion of its white elephant"-the
war-time-constructed wooden ships.
Official announcement by the board
contained the information that bids
submitted by the Ship Construction
and Trading Corporation of New York
of $4,000 each for 205 of the 285
wooden craft had been accepted. The
announcement added that the deal had
been closed except for the filing of
bond by the New York company and
the signature of contract by the board,
expected tomorrow.
Vice Chairman 'OConnor of the
board. commenting today on the sale,
said the price was exceedingly low in
view of the cost of the 285 vessels,
recently estimated by Chairman Lasker
at $230,000,000. Mr.. O'Connor pointed
out that the board long had sought to
sell the wooden ships, and said that the
alternative to sale at a low price was
allowing the boats to rot at anchor.

those who take heavy chances and
who have very exceptional ability, and
abundance of capital, can get ahead.
While success in rural industry calls
for much hard work, yet country peo-
pie tend to depreciate too much the
chances for advancement that exist
right around them. They should not
be disheartened by temporarily unfa-
vorable conditions following the per-
iod of war initiation, which in all
probability will disappear in a very
short time.
The key to success in country life
is scientific agriculture. There are
never too many food producers, and
those who know some speciality thor
oughly and completely have better
chances of success than in any other
occupation. They are not limited to
the possibilities of a single Farm unit.
After they get one such property
running efficiently, many of them en-
large their business by buying and
selling on greater scale or by buying
nearby properties and supervising
their operation under efficient fore
man.
As more scientifically trained men
60 into food production, many of them
are going on to large success, and

A RURAL COURT OF INQUIRY

The rural people of Vigo county,
Indiana, took time off during the
month of February, to hold what they
called court of inquiry on the con-
ditions prevailing in their county.
The program for advance work which
they recommended would fit so large
ly in Sedgwick county that it is
briefly summarized below:
/. For better schools. More con-
solidaton of outlying schools, i'm
provement of roads, hot lunches,
courses to include more agricultural
subjects, efforts made to secure plea
SAINT homes for teachers.
2. Soils and crops. More live
stock to be fed, more legumes to be
grown, better rotations Of crops, and
more ground limestone to be used.
3. Agricultural production. Farm
, ers to cut down cost of production,
efforts to obtain greater yields per
acre, support for the farm bureaus in
solving terminal marketing prob.
lens.
The attendance at these sessions
was about 400, coming from all parts
of the county. A few years ago in
many Localities, you would have had
difficulty in getting tenth part Of
that number to consider general mea.
sures Of improvement. People in
those days were doggedly ceptent to
drag along in the old ruts. Now they
are determined to learn and apply the
most enlightened and progressive
business and social measures.
There is of course danger that such
! a program will evaporate in mere
| talk. Appointment of committees
alone is not enough, as they may lose
interest until they know that they
have the report to some authority
later, and that they must make good
on their responsibility and show some
actual results.
When rural problems are studied in
this thorough way, and when the
study is followed by a systematic eff
fort to realize the results that are
seen to be desirable, you will see a
rural community make tremendous
strides.

CHANCE FOR INITIATIVE

Many people will tell you that the
cuontry is all right to live in, but
that it contains no business opportuni-
ty. These croakers fail to tell you
that the vast majority of young men
and women who go off to the cities
to seek their fortune never get any
where. They finally settle into some
routine job in a big organization, and
are on ly a mere cog in the wheel.
If these people, tired of the slight
chances for advancement in large in
dustries attempt to strike out for
themselves in retail trade, then they
find the field is overcrowded. Only

A most progressive enterprise up
on the part of the property owners
Of the business block on East First
Street is the recent gravelling of this
part Of the street, which is great i'm
provement to this part of the bust
ness section of our city. The gravel
used is OF unusual quality producing
a good solid packing similar to pave
ment, its binding qualities astOnish-
ing all those who have examined this
street since, the results being very
satisfactory. This gravel was secur-
ed at the J. c. Spratt place south of
this city. With the use of this gravel
generally on the streets of our city,
there is no doubt but what they could
be kept in first-class shape with only
small amount of maintenance ex-
pense. Let the good work go on, and
watch Julesburg grow.
