Washington.?Removal of pork y and pork products from the export c< nservation list was announced by the war trade board, effective March 6. At the same time the board rescinded the regulations by which all applications for licenses to ^ export these commodities to European destinations were required to bear a certificate from the food administration showing that the administration had approved the sale price. The food administration in an announcement issued simultaneously n said this action would decstroy its a ability to further stabilize the price v of live hogs and that it probably C would result in the price of hogs and s pork increasing beyond the stabilized v prices which the administration had s desired to continue to March 21. t The war trade board's announce- t nient said that it had. advised that the allied provision export commis- : b sion had been dissolved and that pur- t chases of foodstuffs for shipment to a Co eat Britain, France anil Italy v veuId no longer bo made by that com r | mission. This commission was or-jc I genized early in the war and all foo 1 j stuffs for the allies bought in Am- t erica were purchased through it. t Free Movement Now. c With removal of pork and pork products from the conservation 1 isr, i the board announced that these com-if modifies could be exported freely to ] the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Belgium, Japan or Greece or their t colonies, possessions and protector- 1 ales under the special export license \ issued February 26. i Officials of the food administra- i tion had expected to reach an agree- 1 ment before the first of the month on the continuance of the minimum price for hogs, but after conference with the war trade board and President Wilson it was announced that no decision would be possible untP the president could consider the who8<c matter of export embargoes. Two statements were issued tonight by the food administration. 'One dealt entirely with the effect of the war trade board's order. The Other said former Governor Stuart oi' Virginia, chairman of the national agricultural -advisory committee, has sent to "his <rommitlec and to the swine producers' committee a statement indorsing and warmly conir.A nding the earnest but unavailing efforts of the food administration" to maintain the minimum price for ( "hogs. , Prices Not Stable. , The statement regarding the 'beard's action said in part, ( "The practical effect of this action v <yf the war trade board is to destroy j the ability of the United States food , administration to further stabilize the price of live hogs. It was the c reside and has been the endeavor of j the food administration to continue (| this stabilization as heretofore and until March 31, when the normal mar ^ keting period of hogs farrowed in the spring of 1018 would have termi- f nated. C 4 "The whole program of stabilization of prices was the outgrowth of a] the imperative necessity for stimulated hog production for war needs \t a time when a dangerous shortage in >f fats threatened the entire allied |u world. | p] "The obligation with respect to! he pigs farrowed in tlie spring of 1 v-i 918 began with the marketing of J on September, and would have been tor-i sj. < .mated March 31. From 85 to 90 ?ei cent, of these hogs have been (>?1 old. The European demand for hog jj)( products will increase rather than ^.< iminish. The supply of live hogs oming to market in March and y()1 ipril will be greatly reduced in num- NVh ers. The European markets are sol pening rapidly to free trading in og products, and the area to be sunlied is being made increasingly A ccessible. The enemy countries are p0i > be given opportunity to secure ? Dg products and other foods. "It is possible that as a conscience of the general situation the rice of hogs and pork may go high- j than the stabilized prices which iVrtl ive neon maintained and which the jte r od administration desired to bo con #ljj iniod to March 31, next." > o It Needs to He Home Idle.

WAKE RHINE FREE FOR ALL NATIONS recommendation That It Be Open to All Made to Peace Conference ; J CIEL CANAL ALSO OPEN TO COMMERCE *ut to Continue Under German Ownership and Op- { eration. Paris.?Recommendation that the avigation of the Rhine be opened to 11 nations without discrimination as made in a repot t to the Peace 'onTerence today by the commis1011 on the international regime of ,'utcrways, railways and ports. It is uggestcd that the Rhine bo coniolle:l by a commission similar to he Danube commission. The status of the Kiel canal has it en settled by the commission on he basis of the freedom of use for .11 nations for merchant vessels or airships in time of peace. The calal would continue under German iWUPlNllin Mrwl I u|?viaiiun. The question of the fortification of he canal is left by the commission o the decision of miltiary and naval ports. The report of the commission was lot favorable to allowing the Belgian claim that special duties be imposed on German vessels. The report further recommended hat a general conference be held within a year to deal with all questions pertaining to the navigation of international waterways which are regarded as too intricate or complex to be settled finally within the limbed life of the Peace Conference, o ? , OBITUARY, ? During the third week of January, 1919, the death angel visited the h- me of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Todd, and took away the;r five children, which were all the children in the homo. Their names are as follows: John Dawsey Todd, age 8 yrs, 5 mo., 20 days; Wate Dccol Todd, Age 15 years, 18 days; Lula Bert Todd, Age 12 years, 4 mo., 20 days. The above died Jan. 20, 1919. Ottie McLean redd, Ago 10 years, 4 mo., and 1 day; Willie Mace Todd, ago 1(> years., 3mo., and 22 days. These two died Jan. 22, 1919. Mr. and Mrs. Todd have endured that which few people :/f our county have, and readers think, they have borne all this trouble with a patience that calls to my mind Job as of old, when he suffered all his to be taken and calmly ;aid: "The Lord gave, and the Lord u.th taken away. Blessed be the uime of the Lord." All five children were pupils of the Ibell School, where we sadly miss hem, for they were kind and obedient scholars, winding a tender hovd of love around the hearts of oth Teacher and classmates. They 'ere only sick a few days with iniuenza, which ran into pneumonia, (using their early death. Mrs. Todd Iso had a stroke of same, recovering Tier some time. The works of the Lord are wonderd. Wo weak creatures are not to iderstand. fie works in mysterious ays His wonders to perform. He ants His footsteps hi the sea. He Jes upon the storm, and b trust He ill be with and comfort the loved ics, and guide them to that bright ore, where they will be reunited.
