The passing of the little district school
in Oregon was predicted In an address
by M. S. Tittman. head of t he rural
school department of the Monmouth
Normal School, in an address before the
Oregon Congress of Mother and Parent
Teacher Associations lie re today.
Professor I'ittman spoke to an audi
ence representing all classes of schools
in every section of the state, the most
representative body of delegates that
has attended a meeting of the organi
zation since its organization, 14 years
a co.
"The little district school, which has
played such a larpre part in the pioneer
life of America has outlived its great
est usefulness," declared Professor Pitt
man. "The ox-team and the bow
frame, which came with the district
schools, has since disappeared, but it
has lived as the relic of foolish senti
ment and narrow vision.'
Professor Pittman declared that five
great reforms in the rural school sys
tem are necessary to meet the 20th
century demand: A larger unit of tax
Htion must be provided for that, tax
ation will be just and so that it must
be justified ; there must be a larger
unit f school administration anil the
administration must be placed in the
hands of experts, who will think for
and defend the rural schools: rural
Mt hools must be consolidated wherever
possible and consolidation is now pos
sible in hundreds of districts in Ore
eon, he said): rural teachers must be
trained especially for their work, and
a rural school course of study must be
provided, lie asserted.

Spencer "Wortman. Deputy Htate Seal

his first public address at the after
noon session of the convention. His
p-ei-h was followed by a. preneral dis
cussion durinic which many of the wom

ions of the ice man. he wood man, the
jrroecr, coal dealer and all the others
ho, i hey said, had ;tven them short
weight or short measure. In each case
Mr. Wort man' explained just what
should have been done.
One delegate from a school in a
small toSvn had a grievance.
"We are all pretty close together."
she said. "Quite frequently I go to
the store. Eggs arc 8 cents. The
g i orcr has no chanse and keeps 30
ceniat. I presume that he treats the
others the same way. Is there any ac
tion 1 could take against him?"
Mr. Wortman advised the women, by
example, to avoid the attractive pack

JUST EAT,SLEEP AND WORK
That is all that some people do.
They are deprived of all the higher
things in life, all the pleasures and joys
of existence because ill health has
robbed them of their efficiency and
ordinary duties now take so much time
that there is no opportunity for relax
ation and social pleasures.
Are you like that? If you are. look
into your own case and see If worry is
not responsible for much of your
trouble. See if you do not fret over
little things and scold when you could
just as well be pleasant.
The disorder which causes its victims
to worry whether they have anything
to worry about or not is neurasthenia.
Jt is the great American disease.
The patient is usually pale, showing
that the blood is thin, and the first
thing to do is to build up the blood
because anything that builds. up the
Keneral health helps to correct the
neurasthenic condition.
Ir. Williams Pink Pills are an ideal
tonic for this condition because they
are non-alcoholic ana neurasthenic
patients should avoid alcoholic stimu
lants. Write today to the Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, X. Y., for
booklets on the nerves and diet. Your

SAX FJtAXCISCO. Oct. lS.-Negotia-tions
described by J. C. Xowell, general
manager of the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Company, as "amicable" con
tinued here today between the con
ferees of approximately 3000 electrical
workers of the corporation on the pa
cific Coast, and L. I. Kullerton. super
intendent of plant, named by the com
pany to conduct the framing of a new
working schedule which it was gen
erally believed will be acceptable to
employes, whose demands of increased
wages and other concessions have led to
widespread reports that a strike was
immiment.
A counter proposal by the company.
offered some weeks ago when officials
of the International Brotherhood of
Klectrical Kmployes notified it that the
old working agreement would not be
acceptable, was rejected. The company
immediately offered further conces
sions, it was announced today. L. C.
Grasser, a vice-president of the em
ployes' organization, was named-with
other representatives of the workers to
consider the new proposals, which, com
pany officials indicated, acceded to cer
tain demands.
.lohn S. Wilson, secretary of. the Pa
cific district council of the parent or
ganization, with which the unionized
electrical workers are affiliated, de
clared no preparations had been made
for a concerted strike in case the em
ployes' demands are finally refused.
Labor leaders admitted, however, that
the situation possibly might result in a
walkout which will tie tip all branches
of the telephone and telegraph service
on the Pacific Coast from Van)uver to
San Uiugo. Employes involved include
linemen, plant operators, repairmen and
installers, and organized srirl operators
in Seattle and Portland, it was declared.
, report that one of the demands of
the electrical men was recognition of
the women operators' union could not
be verified.

Six Companies of Third OrrRoa Regi

Men of the engineers regiment, now
stationed at Vancouver Barracks, will
occupy a portion of Camp Withycombe,
at Clackamas Station, Saturday and
will remain for 10 days at practice on
the rifle range of the Third Oregon.
A request from Major Harrington, of
the regiment, was recently made to
Adjutant-Uenera'l White and referred to
the Western Department, with the re
sult that permission was granted for
the use of the target range. The troops
will arrive with tents and full field
equipment
As neighbors at Camp Withycombe
they will have six companies of the
Third Oregon, which returned Tuesday
after several months service in widely
scattered localities in the Pacific North
west, where the Oregon boys were em
ployed in guarding bridges, tunnels and
various other duties.
Officially the six companies are now
of the 162d United States Infantry, but
it is doubtful if the folks at home ever
will cease to regard them as the Third
Oregon. . Major 1 A. Bowman is second

SUvorsidcs, Although of High Qual
ity, Xot Plentiful This Season.

While the sil versides being: caupht here
arc of the highest quality, a large por
tion of the t'inh taken by the t rollers
"onHlts of sorkeyes. These fih are
apparently en route to the Washington
coast streams and are feeding: off the
mouth of the river on the schools of

Progress of the War.
Apparently, contingents of the J Rus
sian fleet -in all about 20 warships of
various clashes are bottled up in
Moon Sound, with a cordon of German
war craft barring their egress north
ward back into the Gulf of Finland or
to the south into the Gulf of liia.
Brave, but outclassed by reason of
superior gun range and heavier ton
nage, the 1 Russians gave battle to the
Germans and attempted to force back
the enemy's " armada off Oesel Island.
Standing far outside the shell zone of
the ltussians. however, the guns of the
German dreadnoughts sank the battle
ship Slava, a relic of the days before
the Russo-Japanese war, and so badly
damaged other units that the Russian
flotilla was forced to seek refuge in
Moon Sound, lying between Moon Island
and the Kstnouia coast.
Immediately seeing their advantage,
the Germans, according to latest Ger
man official communication, began in
tensive operations against Moon Island,
hammering its eastern shore batteries
until they were silenced and also at
tacking the Russian guns on the main
land, putting them out of action. Moon
Island was captured and the Russians
took refuge inside the sound. There
upon Germans threw warships to the
east part of Kassar Bay, lying to the
north of Moon Island, barring exit from
the northern entrance to Moon Sound,
and also rushed contingents to the
south of Moo Island, apparently clos
ing the passage to the south' of the Gulf
of Riga.
Already the Germans have attempt
ed to attack from the north into Moon
Sound, but the Russian guns have held
them back successfully. Among the
German warships attacking the old
line vessels of the Russian fleet were
at least two dreadnoughts of the Gross
er Kurfuerst type vessels displacing
25.000 tons, as against 13,560 tons for
the Slava. A majority of the crew of
the Slava was saved by Russian tor
pedo boats when the vessel took its
final plunge.
With this advantage of the German
naval forces over the Russians, how
ever, comes news of fresh disaffection
in the German fleet and also of a muti
ny in the Austrian fleet in the Adriatic,
and of bitter feeling between German
and Austrian seamen in the Adriatic.
German sailors at Ostend are reported
to have refused to go aboard subma
rines for duty and to have thrown over
board one of their officers. In the
Adriatic the Austrian seamen have
mutinied owing to ill treatment by
their officers and the bad food served
to them.
The bitterness of feeling between the
Germans and Austrians at Pola, Aus
trlan naval base In the Adriatic, re
suited in a fiffht in which men on both
sides were killed. The trouble was due
to the overbearing conduct of the tier
man seamen who were attached to the
submarine flotilla, and it was neces
sary as a result of the bad blood to
change the German base in the Adriatic
to a point further south.
On land there have been no battles of
noteworthy importance. In Belgium
tne British ana trench guns are stil
hammering the German positions, but
there has been no Indication, either of
ficially or unofficially, of when a re
newed infantry attack may be -expected.
tne trench troops or the southern por
tion of the line have repulsed some
what strong German attacks in the
Verdun sector near Bezonvaux and also
on the Alsne front in the Vauclerc
plateau. On the oth- fronts only re
connoiterlng engagements and bom
bardments are in progress.
Intensive air fighting took place
Wednesday between the French and
Germans. Eleven German airplanes
were driven down by French aviators.
making a total of 36 destroyed up to
that time this week. The German war
office asserts that 13 French machines
were sent to earth. Numerous air
raids have also been carried out by
French aviators against German posi
tions behind the lines, while Nancy
again has been bombed by the Ger.

HIGH FOOD PRICES
DUE TO FALL
Administrator Says Public
Sentiment Must Control
Retail Trade.
LARGE CROPS ARE GENERAL
Work of Government Clearly Shown
in Wholesale Markets and Co
operation of Farmers and
Retailers Sow Xeeded.
"WASHINGTON. Oct. 18. Food Ad
ministrator Hoover gave notice tonight
that the "corner has been turned" in
high food prices and that most of the
essential commodities should continue
to show reductions between now and
the end of the year. At the same time
he pointed, out that retail prices are not
going down in accord' with wholesale
reductions and Intimated that the con
sumer might correct this by bringing
proper pressure to bear.
To aid the public in dealing with re
tailers who continue to extort war
profits, the food administration is col-
ecting wholesale prices of all staples
in 700 cities and soon will begin pub
lishing them weekly for comparison
with retail figures.
Krtallrrn Are ( neon trolled.
Without further authority from Con
gress. Mr. Hoover said, the Government
is powerless to control retailers, ex
cept those doing a business- of more
than $100,000 a year. He did not dis
cuss the question of whether Congress
would, be asked to extend his author
ity, saying he wanted to give the retail
ers a change first.
As an. illustration of how the price to
the consumer is keeping- up. a state
ment issued by the administrator said
beef Is sellirg in Chicago at 14Ji cents
a pound compared with 16 cents in July,
while tne average retail price of round
steak now Is 31 cents, compared with
-i cents in July. The millers price for
first patent flour in. Jute bags ranges
from $10 to $10.70, but the average re
tail price is $13.77. or. the administra
tion says, from $1.50 to $2 more than
the wholesale figure warrants. Sugar
should sell from 8 to SH cents a pound,
in spite of the present temporary
shortage, as the wholesale figures have
not advanced.
Prices of Flour Vary.
"The current prices at which flour
is being sold at the mill door in Jute
bags vary somewhat with the locality
and freight charges on wheat, Toledo
showing the lowest price at $10 for
first patent and $9.70 for second pat
ent, the highest being Buffalo at $10.70
for first patent and $10.70 for second
patent, Minneapolis being $10.60 for
first patent and $10.46 for second pat
ent. This shows a large reduction
under August prices. ,
"The average retail price on first
patents In 796 cities on October 13 was
$13.77, or from $1.50 to $2 per barrel
higher than Is warranted by the price
being made by the millers. In other
words, the retail price has not wholly
responded to the reductions made by
the millers.
Bean Crop la Doubled.
"The bean harvest this year is esti
mated by the department of Agricul
ture at approximately 7,000,000 bush
els in excess of last year, or nearly
double last year, and promises an
abundant supply. The growers' associa
tions in prominent bean producing
states are holding beans for from 13Vi
to 15 cents per pound as against an
average price realized by the grower
last year of 8 cents. There has been
100 per cent in the Manchurian bean
crop and it is estimated at two million
tons.
'The corn harvest this year Is 600,
000,000 to 709,000,000 bushels over last
year and will be generally available
about the end of November. The price
of corn rose to $2.30 per bushel in July
and now stands at $1.1,0 per bushel in
Chicago. New mrn is quoted ill Chi
cago at $1.13 per bushelTor December
and indicates nearly a 40 per cent drop
in the price of cornmeal wfren the new
corn is generally available.
Fanner Will Benefit.
"The very large corn supplies from
the new harvest, together with the
larger supplies of barley, velvet
beans, cottonseed, peanut and soy
bean meal, all promise much cheaper
cattle, hog and poultry feed, and will
enable the production of beef, pork,
poultry and dairy products at much
lower levels of cost to the farmers
than today, and his earnings can be
maintained with lower prices of prod
ucts. The packing, cold storage and
other manufacturing and wholesale
distributors in these trades are in
course of regulation.
"Beef already shows some tendency
toward reduction in wholesale prices,
but these have not-been so far reflected
in the prices quoted by the retailer.
The price of beef at the packer's door
is I'M6 cents per pound, as compared
with 16 cents in, the month of July,
while the average retail prices of
round steak in 796 cities is ?1 cents
per pound, against 27 cents per pound
in July, thus showing that retail
prices have increased while wholesale
prices have decreased..
Potatoes to Be Cheaper.
"We have a potato harvest of 59
per cent in excess of the crup of last
year. The price at the loading points
varies from $1.50 to $2.80 per 100
pounds, depending on the section where
grown and the cost of getting them
to market. The price, which is some
what higher than "at this period last
year, is due to a tendency on the part
of the producer to hold the potatoes for
higher prices than last year, despite
the greatly increased crop.
"The larger supply ot cars and the
large harvest warrant lower prices
later in the Fall."
Notice was given at the food adminis
tration that all dealers in foodstuffs
required by law to take put Federal
licenses after November 1 should make
requisition at once for application
forms without further word from the
authorities. All wholesalers, brokers
and commission merchants and retail
ers doing a business of more than $100,
000 a year must he licensed to handle
foodstuffs. Only one license Is required
where a concern has branches.
O. A. C. Ration Allowance Increased.
ORF.GOX AGRICULTURAL, COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Oct. 18 (Special.) The mil
itary department of Oregon Agricul
tural College has received an order
from the United States War Depart
ment authorizing an advance of allow
ance for rations from 30 cents to 50

ARBITRARY ACTION OF SEATTLE
COMMISSION RAISES PROTEST.
Advance Results In Refusal of Federal
Food Committee to Accept
Warehouse Receipts.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. IS. (Special.)
Arbitrary increases in grain storage
rates resulted yesterday in -the refusal
of the food committee of the Federal
Grain Corporation to accept warehouse
receipts Issued by the- Seattle Port

warehouse Wednesday, when the com
mission announced that an advance In
storage rates of 10 to 20 cents for bulk
and 15 to 25 cents for sacked grain for
each month after the first would b
applied.
The commissioin has been making a
charge of 40 cents for bulk and SO
