Remember that the railroads are engaged with the urgent movement of trocps and their supplies; that there Is unusual pressure in various rarts rf the country for food ar.d fuel; that the railroads have more business than they can handle romr.tly. For that reason many trains are late. The Times has Increased Its mailing equipment and Is cooperating in every way with the postofflce department to exprJiia delivery. Even so. delays are inevitable "oacase of the enormous demands upon the railroads an.-l the withdrawal et men from many lines of work.

have been received by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, fedora food adn:in:?Ta'or for Indiana. Difficulty ha? been experienced in some places in securing satisfactory successors and that situation is such that Dr. Barnard is urging public spirited citizens of the state to encourage the food administrators in the unselfish work they are pertoicaing "under unusual difficulties and with no reward, save the sense of having made a conscientious effort to do their duty." ' It was originally hoped to have county councils of defense finance the office of the food administrator," said Dr. Barnard. "This being found impossible in many instances, the administrators themselves, in addition to the gratuitous work they did for the government and the peopre of their communities, paid from their own funds the expense of an office and stenographer. In other place? there have been voluntary contributions from wholesalers and retailers who have appreciated the situation of the food administrator and the work he was called upon to perform, without recompense or assistance. "Now we have the county food administrative organization in Indiana complete and in splendid working order. Some of the administrators are finding the work too exacting of their time and talents and are resigning. It is unfortunate that conditions have been discouraging, but the work was to be done and it has been done and it is deserving of recognition and support. Within a very short time It is expected that the federal plan of paying the expenses of the county food administrators will be in effect, and the source of greatest dissatisfaction will be thus removed. In the meantime I trust the patriotic people of Indiana, who know and understand the position of th county food administrator will rally round him and help him emulate the example of the good soldier who never quits under fire, nor abandons a campaign Just started. The county administrators deserve credit for the Important work of effecting an equitable distribution of staples, without which there must certainly have been hardships and possibly famine. They have been one of the saving factors In guaranteeing an adequate food supply for our soldiers and sailors and the starving civilian population of Europe. When the final record of accomplishment shall have been made up in connection with the emergency of the past year and a half, the work of the food administration of which they have been a very conspicuous part will reflect a measure of credit that will in part, I trust, Justify the sacrifices they are making now."
WAR TASK FOR TEACHERS. j In the past it has been left to the college to tejfh j soei.il piobN-ms and fecial service. From the colleges j a shiwiv trowins erouti of eager and iievu'i i social ;
workers has gor..? forth to struggle with th- pro.dcms of A:u--ri. ani.'.iiion, rf community welfare in health and liiOVU is. The war has begun to open the eyes of educators in general to the truth of what a few haw long been urging--that there is a need for the teaching of social service in the elementary and high schools. Dr. Henry Suzzalo of the VniversPy of Washington said recently in a very earnest address before the California Teachers' association, that the public schools must ho put on the firing line of social service. This can be done "only by faithfully teaching the elements of social and economical science and the meaning of American democracy to the pupils even in the elementary grade? " It manors little what label this work bears, whether Americanization teaching, political economy, poclologv or civics. A'! that is necessary is to recognize that the fundamental truths of social justice and national loyalty must be taught to every American and taught, dearly. The problems that we are facing and that every industrial nation has to face today cannot be solved by men and women with a high degree of specialized training. If they are to be permanently met They must be met by those citizens who averaee less than six years' schooling. It is the lessons learned in those six years that train the future citizen, that preserve true democracy, that instill idealism. It is not aione for peace that the civilized world is fighting, but for sound character of which peace i a by-product, as Dr. Suzzalo has said. And that cborsver is based on the fine loyalties of family life ex'endd and applied to the relations of the mass and to international relationships. Here is a war task for teachers calling for great patriotism and great devotion to the ideals in which we profess to believe.

WHEAT PRICES. Th farmers are to be assured the full henef.t of their bumper wheat crop. The federal grain corporation has been authorized to raise its capitalization from jr.oiOri.OfO to $15'"i.n00,000, for the express purpose of keeping the market price of wheat up to the guaranted $2 2rt a bushel. The situation shows an interesting reversal from last year. Then it was felt necessary to keep the price down, owing to a shortage that invied speculation and hoarding, and would have resulted in exorbitant rates if the government had kept its hands off. Now, with a promised crop of possibly 1.000,000,000 bushels, with good crops in allied countries and a great surplus of wheat in Australia that may be Tapped, the price might actually fall if free from artificial influence. Before the war a crop like this year's would have brought about 70 cent3 a bushel. Nobody begrudges the farmer this protection. He deserves his profits. Let him remember this service, however, the next time he feels that the government is imposing a hardship on him.

IT has always seemed to us as if it is time to quit talking of what's to be done after the war. You had better wait till the soldier boys come home. They will tell you what you are going to do after the war, and if there is a place in your hat you might cut this out and paste it there.
INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY. This war Is to be won not by one man or one thousand men or one million men, or one million people. It is to be won by the united efforts of the individuals of many nations. Every American citizen has an Individual duty to perform, an individual share of the responsibility. The more powerful and effective the American forces are t::e shorter will be the war, and the shorter the war' the fewer lives lost, the greater the number of American soldiers who will return home victorious. livery American who economizes in consumption of material, -who increases production, who saves and lends savings to the government, doea something to help .win the war.
WAR GARDEN PROSPECTS. The dopartment of agriculture does not take cognizance of the war gardens not that it scorns them at ail. but because it is too difficult to collect dependable rluM on thom. They are therefore omitted in the depart rr.er.t bulletins giving crop forecasts. A rough estimate of tho war garden crop, however, is furnished by Charles L. rack, chairman of the war gorden commission. It is ruc.-o lTiir rf s.-ive even than the farm reports.

New Jersey. July 16. 3315. Dear Mother and Dad: Well. I'm here at last, fec'.ing great, after 36 hours' ride In coming up here. I saw oh so many nice things. This trip was so much nicer than the first. There were Just five hundred cf us and we had the time of our lives. We rassed through Georgia. South Carolina, Xorth Carolina. Virginia, Washington,
! Pennsylvania, Slaryland and then Xew
Jersey. The further we went the better the places were, ar.d it's also much nicer out here. The weather is nice and cool. Tou see we don't sleep in tents, but sleep In barracks and not a bit crowded. Here's one thing I want you to remember. If ever the Red Cross has any collections don't fail to give, for there isn't a better cause. We made six special stops Just so the Red Cross could show us what they are doing with the money they collect, and here's what they give us: Cigarettes, matches, candy writing raper, ice cream, coffee, hot doughnuts, chewing gum and plenty of all this stuff too. Oh. yes. and they gave us postal cards, bananas, and believe me it cost a bunch of money to do this. I cannot explain how nice they were to us. They did everything they could to make the boys feel like at horn which made every soldier feel good. We passed through Washington within half a block of the White House. Talk about your pretty place. I also saw all the other big buildings l!ce the Wsshington monument and library and some of the other buildings where President Wilson and Secretary McAdoo spend most of their time. Well, I think this will be long enough for this time, and will write more later when settled.' Love and regards to all and home. I remain ss ever. Tour loving son. EDM VXD J. PRUCHINCKI.
