WEBSTER PROMISED SUBSTITUTE TEACHER; PATRONS SATISFIED (Special to the Palladium) WEBSTER, Ind., Sept 22. Fears of Webster school patrons, -who discussed the Webster school situation in a meeting at the schoolhouse Thursday evening, that the standard of the school would not be maintained, due to a shortage of teachers, -were allayed by a report presented from the trustee, William Moore.

For three weeks since the beginning of school, only two teachera have been

serving the high school, although the

minimum requirement Is three. Not

knowing of the efforts which were being made to secure another member

of the faculty, some of the patrons had

become alarmed. Through a commit

tee Mr. Moore explained, however,

that although there are Menty of teach

ers well Qualified to teacn in tne low

er grades, there is a shortage of those

qualified to teach in a commissioned high school. In spite of this difficulty,

he stated 'that a temporary teacher

would be provided Monday morning,

Patrons who attended the meeting expressed gratification over the ' brighter prospects and pledged their aid to the school authorities in their

efforts to maintain the educational

facilities of the school. Fears expressed Thursday' night,

that the commission of the school

' might be revoked, were said to be un founded, in a statement made by Coun ty Superintendent C. O. Williams Frl day.

"As long as even five or six students

attend school and the patrons wish it

continued, it cannot lose its commis

sion." said Mr. Williams.

Mr. Williams gave a more detailed explanation of the condition which has

kept Webster school from having its

full quota of teachers for 60 long. Cannot Get Man.

"We have been trying hard to get a man to serve on the faculty there," he

said. "It is practically impossible to conduct a school without a man to help enforce discipline. However, it has proved impossible to find a man with a college certificate to teach there and we have been forced to abandon that plan. "But after we had decided to employ another woman, we still are finding great difficulty in locating one with the required qualifications, who will be willing to go to Webster for the salary paid. A salary of $225 a month was necessary to secure a teacher for another Bimilar vacancy this year. Although we will have a substitute teacher out at Webster on Monday, we still have not found any. who meets the qualifications. Other Schools Short. "Webster is not the only school short of teachers, several schools are in the same position, and it is only yesterday that the Fountain City faculty was completed, while Williamsburg also was short one teacher until last week." Uneasiness of Webster school patrons was further increased by a 10 days' absence of Mr. Williams from the county, during which time he was canvassing for more teachers. He had understood the Webster situation to hae been on the way to solution, however, before he left. . When he returned late Thursday, he was immediately apprised of the situation, and replied with a promise to secure a teacher as soon as possible.

BID ON FARM REJECTED Oscar E. Lamb, owner bl 80 acres

As compared with July, 1921, the iron and steel industry shows an increase of 57 per cent in wages paid. High officers of the administration are predicting that the new tariff law,

which became operative today, will be an important factor in encouraging continued industrial expansion.

bread, the American public will bei eating a brown bread, such as is used so largely in Europe, said Dr. H. E. Barnard, ex-food and drug commissioner for Indiana, at the Indiana miller's annual convention at Indjanapolis, on Wednesday. Dr. Barnard is now secretary and business manager of the American Baker's association, at Chicago. Dr. Barnard bases his predictions on two ground?: First, the 60ft water wheats are being used almost entirely in the manufacture of crackers and like baking products, because they have a lower gluten content than the

spring wheats grown in the northwest. These wheats are usually considerably higher than the soft winters, such as

are grown in Indiana and other winter

wheat states. It is claimed by Barnard that farm

ers are continually cutting down their production of soft wheat, because of being compelled to sell much below the

prices paid for spring wheat. In the second place the spring wheat is de-

terriorating from constant cropping,

without intervening crops in any kind of rotation, and because of barberry rust. If left to continue, says Barnard, we shall be eating our share of brown

bread within 25 years, unless the area

now seeded to wheat Is increased

largely. Millers Depressing Year

Secretary Riley, of the millers' association, said that last year has been de

pressing for the millers of Indiana and

many of them have found it difficult to

maintain a steady market for their

Indiana, he said, should produce at

least 50,000,000 bushels of wheat annu

ally Instead of less than half of that amount.

George J. Klemm, of Milton, and

Fred Wright, of Anderson, were elect

ed directors of the Indiana Millers association at the meeting.

Another Viewpoint Prof. Christie, of Purdue, combatted Prof. Barnard's view on the flour question, in a little talk to the assembled millers. Christie stated that of the 15,000 barrels of flour used by statfi Institutions in 1921, about 70 per cent was the product of Indiana mills. In several of the state institutions, he said, Indiana flour was used exclusively, while In others some hard whear flour was used in the blending. Mr. Christie argues that India wheat is coming into more general use from

year to year. That fact, however, is

beside the Barnard argument that the production of American wheats is like

ly to dwindle, unless there is an ex pansion in acreage. Wants Priority on Cereals

Governor Kendall of Iowa said on Wednesday that it would be wise for the government to transfer for two weeks the "priority" now given to coal, "so that the formers of the Mississippi valley can dispose of their surplus, before a further break occurs in prices." We do not believe that such a rush of grain as that move would portend, would do anything toward sustaining prices, and might result in a bad temporary break in cash prices. The price

of grain is now on the upward trend and quite an advance has been scored within the past 10 days. Receipts of

.grain are fairly liberal, in spite of the

ipressure to move coal.

Aa a matter of fact, fellow farmers.

the situation in Europe is so badly strained, and there are so many more

hungry mouths to feed on account of

the destruction just wrought by tne "unspeakable" Turk, that there is no telling how great will be the pressure

for American grain, or how quickly that pressure will be evidenced. Much depends upon the action of the British in this crisis. But if there is a worthwhile advance the present holders are the- ones to reap the greatest benefit. So far as winter wheat crops are concerned, the bulk of them are now out of the farmer's hands. Sheep and Wool. The time when a flock of ewes was considered a liability, rather than an asset, has passed. A little more than a year ago western flock owners sacrificed ewes and ewe lacbs by the train load.' Right now the same men

are trying to reinstate tneir hocks. With relation to this fact the Breeder's Gazette says:

"Indications of a determination to

reinstate farm flocks are furnished by

a widespread demand for old ewes

buyers taking stock that they could

not be induced formerly to look at. A

plain class of natives, anything but de

sirable, is now realizing $57 per

cwt., and decently-bred two and three-year-olds sell at $7 8.50, native pearl-

ings going at $9 10. These pur

chases are being mffde to replenish areas that wero depleted . last year, when breeding stock was thrown overboard under an impression that wool no longer possessed intrinsic value. That conservation is the oraer of the day is indicated by the scarcity of native ewes at all the markets. The disposition of farmers to get into sheep when prices advance and liquidate at

a loss during periods of liquidation is

incomprehensible, or would be if it

were not human nature."
