Sinee the wheat proposition is practic ally settled and since the government is about to regulate flour and sugar, there will be practically no changes in these commodities. Eggs seem to be wavering in price. While everybody figured they should make rapid advance in price on account of the small output and high cost of poultry food, the price seems to refuse; to go any higheT at present- In Salem the figure is anywhere from 38 to 40 eents with a 41 cent price in Portland for case count.

TUr WADDII! 0 UADI n IIIL n MNOWWW Some Things Hoover Has Done Towards Conserving Food and Fixing Prices Washington, Sept. 21. The warring world and a largo portion of the ncu tral nations are on rations today. Thus far the rationing is voluutary on the part of the war powers but if the steps already taken to conserve food do not suffice, thou compulsory retiouing will be enforced. The neutral nations, stem necessity forced by the American embargo, had compelled strict rationing. With Lord Bhondda, British food controlled, announcing his intention to force conservation by eoir.p'tlsion if needed Herbert Hoover, American food administrator becomes even more so than before the food dictator of the world. One of his first steps in proper ap portionment of food is the establish ment of an international sugar com mission, which will bo followed by com missions for other commodities, so that the allies shall not bid against each other in world markets aud by ' their very bidding, force up prices. To date Hoover has eliminated some of the middk processes which absorb ed profits, has established control over wheat, has created a sugar commission, has informed the Americuu people they must ration themselves. Pood Will Win the War. . Hoover and other food controllers are certain that food will win the war. Gor many is not starving, but her prospects of malnutrition grow constantly. To conserve foodstuffs for the world, Hoover already has taken tho follow ing steps: Licensed millers, sugar refiners and packers; planned regulation of banking industry, canneries and milk distribu tion; by voluntary agreement fixed re tail price of sugar at 7 1-4 cents a pound Tednned price of flour; signed several million in anti-waste campaign; reduced garbage in the principal cities; conclusively proving effectiveness of campaign; and aided in greatest can ning, preserving and food drying ac tivity in country 's history. Hoover announced ho intends to take control of ten or twelve lending staple commodities. His world-wide power is illustrated by appeals of European neu trals directly to him to release enough foodstuffs to prevent their starvation. Improvements aro in progress on the lake at the McMinnville city park. The Tilan, the News-Reporter says, is "to beautify the pool and. transform it from a holo in the ground filled with water to a pretty little lake which can be used after it is properly cemented like a hugo vat, for a swimming pool." jjc jjc lc 3C s(c 9C 3C 3ft J(t l(E 3(C J)( .

Pegler ( l'hited Press staff correspondent) Headquarters of the American Army in France, Sept 21. One military rail road close behind the fighting linos is being operated today by a regiment of American transportation engineers, some of whom have already received their baptism of fire from an attack-, ing German aeroplane. I visited tho Americans as they ar rived at their new barracks. They wore welcomed by the roaring and thumping of trench guns a few kilometers distant where nn artillery duel was raging. Aeroplanes swooped overhead, patroll ing the sky for the Yankees. En route to their positions behind the front the American boys gazed from enr windows at evidences of' real war. They passed through shattered towns and were much interestfd in the rusting wreck of a train that had been bombed gome time before. The soldiers told of how one Ameri can railroad crew was forced to take refuge under the tender of their loco motive a few nights ago, -when a Ger man airplane attacked. The Teuton. flier was attracted by he glare of the engine's fire box in the darit.
