Th r- i an abundance of fresh egg. iuttr and milk In most vi!U'gs ar.l in one town, which was Visit d. there was T.OoO head of cuttle for a population of 3.0U0. Sjw-m Varies. The system of land tenure varies but in the majority of th villager the peasants are the actual owners of the land, which has neen distributed since the revolution, in e'jual nhar for each adult in1 abitant. The government's requisitions are meeting with some opposition but the peasant are permitted to retain ZZ poods (1,154 pounds) of Hour per capita a a yearly ration and muit deliver up 100 liters (120 quarts) of milk per row and 10 t-ggs per hen per year. .Many of the villages are being organized on a commune basis, notably in the feif. governing Gorman commune, with the capital at Marxstadt. The population of the German community is f.OO.oou. all of whom speak pure German after an absence of liO years from their native country. The local government of Mnrxfitadt is well organized with schools, hospitals, social service, admirable administrative ofürev. and a number of mall Industrie mch as leather factories, flour mills and turning f-hops. The Germans have formed and sent to the front several regii.ienta of Infantry and cavalry, commanded by their own otlicers. No Politics. Politically the villages have been only slightly touched by the revolution, party lines are practically non-existent, and the. government seldom interferes In its local matter. The rich peasants are discontented with the present situation owing to the redistribution of land which has deprived them of part of their holdings and which Is making the poorer peasants better off than they ever were before. Evidences of the government's efforts to modernize the rural population appear on every hand by the establishment of schools for adult Illiterates, libraries, reading rooms and instruction in the new methods of agriculture. The food situation in the towns is fairly good though thi lack of Fait, meat and fats is evident., but the system of food distribution is effective with the speculative prices onethird to one-tenth less than thoxo in Moscow. Metal Works Operates. Th metal works at Nijninovcorod are operating with a force of 17,500, who are turning out war material while the Hour mill, canning factory and several other industries are also being carried on. Tho towns of Simbirsk and Samara are still suflering from the effects of Ozecho-Slovakian occupation under which the boys tinder military nge. have been conscripted for service in Siberia. According to Sverdroff, the assistant commlw.r of transportation, the resumption of the river traffic to Volga will enormously increase the supply of Industrial fuel. It is estimate! that 120.000.000 poods (oMj.07 rounds) of Baku oil will b delivered during tho jirrssent soaton, but alrrvady 4 00.00O poods of oil has been received in Nijninovgorod.

BIG SHORTAGE IN CROP OF TEACHERS
Ilich Schools Mav Suffer School Board Warned to Bolster Staffs.
WASHINGTON, July S. Tublic high schools will be short by 15,000 teachers when the fall term opens, according to estimates by A. O. Neal. of the Bureau of Education. The bureau recently conducted an extensive inquiry o.m)ng" more than 7,000 high schools in the country. Tlteso schools now employ S5.8 57 teachers and will require 17,275 nerw teach era in the fall to provide for the normal increase in enrollment and to take the places of those who are leaving1 the schools for other work. Mr. Neal considers that thLs proportion fairly represents the general condition in high schools throughout the country, and he estimates that a total of 25,978 places must bo tilled before the next school term begins. A I si hi c Supply. The visible supply at present does not approach that number by far. A canvass of colleges and universities to ascertain what number of graduates would take up teaching1 show that of those who will adopt this calling l.ßSO- men and 4.742 women will choose high school teaching. On this basis it is estimated onlv 16. '.2 0 members' of this year's gradpates from higher institutions will reach in high schools. The difference, 1 ...C5S places, must bo filled from sources which are not now apparent, or that number of classes will be without instruction. The threatened shortage is twice as treat us the total number of teachers In New England, and greater than the number in New York and Pennsylvania combined. School boards everywhere are being advist d to Htrengthen their forces in every possible Way, by raising salaries and improving conditions as well as in other ways.

Complaints that amons the thousands of tourists row visiting French battlefields are many who have been guilty of thoughtless acts of desecration of sacred soil ' aye been reaching the French press for several weeks. There have been no specific reports of misconduct on the part of Americans, the majority of the complaints having been registered against visitors from countries that did not enter the war.

Tabouls, commanding a brigade of French troops in that vicinity, has sent a letter to the newspaters protesting aerainst the incident.

"Those who have thus insulted the oead Ignored the fact that more than 2,000 Frenchmen and more than 3,000 Germans gave their lives there, the first that Alsace might be returned to France, and the second that It might remain German.

lng critics. His display waa particu-1
larly impressive, epeed and force being perfectly matched in hia work with the punching ball, and in the sparring: ring. There Is no doubt that the ex-champion will give Beckett a hard contest. To the company Burns said: In Condition. "I'm glad you are here to sec for yourselves that I am not a bloated 'has been. If, when I arrived in England I was a littlo too solid you will note that it has melted somewhat. I have been very interested in what one or two writers have had to say about me and my attempt to come back, and I am going to try and show how illegal some of these opinions are. "I have no illusions about the advantage of youth over age and I am not deluding- myself now. If 1 did not believe that I was ablo to beat Beckett I would honestly never have made the match. "I went to Becket's training quarters soon after I landed, and I concluded then that I could beat him. Later I saw him fight Smith and Wells. What I saw there confirmed my opinion, though Beckett fought better against Wells than on any occasion on which I have seen him. I realize that he is young, strong and a real fighter, but boxing is something more than brute strength and bulldog tactics. Boxing at its best is a matter of brains and tho expenditure of as little energy as possible for the biggest results. Many boxers beat themselves, many more than you would Imagine even tho front rank ones. Long Fight. "I fancy I have enough energy to go the full distance with Beckett, but you may be sure that it will not be my fault if it goes 20 rounds. I may get the worst of the early rounds; I may h- "euten; but Beckett is going to K x very lucky man if he lasts 10 rounds. "If I were 30 years of age and had dissipated, some critics would still accept nß on the score of my youth, but remember many a successful boxer at 30 is an old man in the matter of organic fitness. If I were CO and still able to go in the ring looking slim and pinched I woud be accepted, but because I am 39 and physically fit and capable as the average good living boxer is at i'.O, some writers unort. If I beat Beckett what will be said? "Beckett is the champion of Great Britain. Is there a better man in Kngla-nd? If I win. give me credit for boating the best man- you have, and then help me all you can to unearth the man I am trying to find A British heavyweight champion of the world."

When Mrs. Housewife Buys the Sunday Dinner
In the Hays when prices were lover than they are now, Mrs. Housewife went over to the corner grocery on Saturday afternoon and bought whatever she could find that would make a nice Sunday dinner. She bought promiscuously a little of this, a little of that. Before she went to the store she, perhaps, had little idea of just what food was going to be served at that Sunday dinner the meal that is the biggest one of the week in most families.
But today Mrs. Housewife buys differently. Higher prices and the advancement of the culinaryr art to a science has caused this change in her method of buying. She does her buying as systematically as she does her cooking. She knows pretty well in advance just what is going to grace the table for that Sunday dinner. She plans it well and she kr-ows just the exact amount of vegetables, flour, eggs and the many, many other necessary things, needed to make that dinner a success and she takes just as much pride in xnaking that dinner a success as her husband does in making his business a success. After the dinner has been planned she starts her buying systematic buying. She knows that the wideawake grocers and butchers advertise so she looks to their stores as the place where she can find the best quality at the best price. She knows, too, that The News-Times Market Page which appears in the Friday afternoon and Saturday morning editions, carries the advertisements of these wideawake dealers in foodstuffs and she makes up her lists accordingly.
She also finds on that page the market quotations, recipes and other news that interests her making another reason for her to turn to that page.
Grocers and butchers are given an opportunity by The News-Times to make their appeal to the housewife just at the time when she is buying and in the place to which she looks to find the articles she wants for that Sunday dinner.
Let the advertising department tell you how you can cash in on this Sunday dinner, Mr. Grocer and Mr. Butcher.
