FOOD PRICES IN EAST
LAID TO FREIGHT RATES
Officials Believe East Must
Feed Itself More and Not
Depend on West
Bv David l.. Blumenfeld,

tUnlted PreSS Sta1L tCOFreSpolueHb
Washington, Oct. 6.-The problem
of forcing lower food prices in the
east is now being considered by ex-
perts of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, it was learned today.
One cause of present high food
prices in the east is high freight rates,
which apparently cannot be forged to
pre-war levels for some time, officials
said. Their solution is that the east
must strive to feed itself more and
not depend SO much on shipments
from the west.
A subsidy for eastern farms in Or
der to encourage farm production has
been suggested and is being consider
ed, but considerable objection has
been raised to it. Some plan may be
suggested to congress.
Officials said it is cheaper to send
a barrel Of apples from Seattle to
London via the Panama Canal, than
by rail to New York. Meat and
cereals, can be shipped from the Ar
gentine cheaper than from the Dako-
tas to the eastern towns.
"The west and south cannot afford
to produce enough for the stomachs
Of the big eastern towns, with freight
rates at their present altitude" one
official said. 4
For some time, it was said, the de-
partment had been considering the
question of the east feeding the east
"The east fed herself before the
civil war--the east will have to feed
herself again after the great war;" it
was said.
General subsidy Of farms cannot
come in a moment" said one official
months Of preparation; conferences
between states and legislatures must
come before any definite and final
plans are reached, but, unless the
freight charges drop back to normal
in the near future, which is practical
ly impossible, there will be nothing
left to save the situation but subsidy
for the food producing elements of
the east, in order that the big towns
Of the manufacturing districts Of the
country may buy their foodstuffs at
something approaching a pre-war
rate"

BAPTIST CHURCH HAS
RECORD ATTENDANCE
AT SUNDAY SCHOOL

Yesterday was a great day for
Ashland Baptists. perhaps the great
est they have for years enjoyed. The
attendance at Sunday school was
1877, the largest at any regular ses-
sion. A fine congregation was pre-
sent at the morning preaching serv-
ices. The pastors theme was "Our
Medlating Ministry" The message
was missionary in character, show
ing how the work Of the church was
to continue the labors OF Jesus
Christ. The young peoples societies
were largely attended and the serv-
Ices interesting and profitable.
The senior B. Y. P. U. Ia led by
Glenn Inman and has an average at
tendance Of thirty-fiye. The juniors
meet at S o'clock, led by Mrs. W. l..
Evans and Miss Lucille Gilmore, and
have an attendance OF twenty at
their meetings. These societies are
planning a New Years eve social and
devotional service. The evening
preaching service was the climax Of
the days devotional meetings. The
subject OF the pastors discourse was
THE Coming Separation and Part.
ing of the Ways" referring to the
future life. At the close OF the serv.
ice there were six professions of
faith and eleven additions to the
church, five OF whom are candidates
for baptism. This will mage eigh.

previous three years. The member

evening BY c. A. Gilmore.

the rooms. A large gymnasium and
numerous shower baths provide fol-
athletics, which occupy prominent
part in local student activities. Sew
en- acres of ground adjoining the
high school constitute one of the
most extensive play grounds and
athletic fields In the state. The
desks and other equipment Of Ash
lands schools are first-class and
kept in excellent condition.
Prominent educators from this
and other states never fail to re-
mark upon the splendiJ work being
done by Ashland school, which indi-
Gates their pre-eminent place among
similar institutions elsewhere.
Large cooking and sewing classes
are taught in both high schools. the
plan being to supplement theory
with practice and to learn to do by
doing. A Smith-Hughes practice
house gives girls an opportunity to
learn the art of home making by
doing all kinds of housekeeping work
in real home. Half the superin-
tendent's salary is paid by the fed
eral government, Ashland's share be-
ing only $500 for a teacher which
would otherwise cost the city 1880.
Ashland high school STUDENTS are
given training equal to that offered
by the smaller colleges few years
ago. There is first-class CONNER
cial department, where is taught
bookkeeping, business practice, and
shorthand and typewriting. A teach
ers' training course is maintained,
and vocal music is taught In all the
grades. An excellent student orches-
ira is also maintained, one teacher
devoting her entire time to music.
A thorough and practical course is
given in Spanish, the second Ian
guage of the western hemisphere,
supplanting in large degree the dead
languages so extensivly taught In
former times.
The latest course added by Ash
lands progressive educators is ele-
mentary biology in the grades. There
are only two other schools in the
United States which give this very
important work, The Dalles and
Newberg, which shows that Ashland
is maintaining her leading position.
Ashland's parent-teachers' associa-
ton of 202 members is one Of the
largest and strongest in the state.
the size of the city considered, and
much of the excellency Of our schools
is due to the indefatigable efforts
of this self-sacrifcing band Of
mothers.

EUGENE MAN IS
KILLED BY AUTO
NEAR MEDFORD
(From Daily Tidings)


Fred Hartzell, of Eugene, sales
man for the United States Rubber
company, Portland branch, was al
most instantly killed at 3 o'clock
Sunday morning on the Pacific
highway three miles south of Med
ford, when he was struck by light
car driven by Lloyd Elwood, an en-
ploye of the A. w. Walker company,
of Medford. According to the ver-
dict of the coroner's jury at Med
ford this afternoon, Elwood failed
to use ordinary caution and " OBJ
serve the state traffic laws. The
county attorney could not be reached
at a late hour this afternoon, and
it is not known whether or not a
charge of manslaughter will be
brought against Elwood, who is said
to be about thirty-five years old and
has wife and family in Medford.
Elwood failed to stop after the
accident. The mangled body of
Hartzell was brought to the Sacred
Heart hospital at Medford by Henry
Snyder, high school boy and son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. William Snyder of this
city. Young Snyder, accompanied by
James Blair and Raymond Ruger,
was driving to Medford with a Mr..
Meyer, who is employed in that city.
E. A. Gabriel, of Portland, who
accompanied Hartzell, claims that
the latter stopped his car with the
intention of looking at his gasoline
tank. When Hartzell stepped from
the car, Gabrield said, the Elwood
car struck him. It is claimed that
Elwood was exceeding the speed lin
its. All the parties were returning
from Kingsbury Springs east of Ash
land.
The body will be shipped to Eu-
gene where the dead man has wife
and two children.
