administration bill appropriating $1 250000000 to enable the Government' to carry out its guarantee to farmers1 of a price of $220 a bushel for 1919's wheaW crop was transmitted to the chairen of the Senate and House Agricultural Committees by the Food AdMI111811141100 officials eafsutrhee Awdams drawn hy at in and the Department of Agriculture was described by some Senators as an oinnibus measure which would permit the President to continue the Food Administration in operation and to exercise all the powers conferred upon him by the Food Control Act- Too Broad Says Gore Senator Gore Chairman of the Senate committee aunouno4sd that be would not introduce the measure in the Senate "It is broader than think is necessary be declared "I may take it as a basis for another bill which I may introduce" Government Control Continued Under the bill as drawn Government authority to control grain dealers millers and elevators "by license or other like powers" would be continued and the President would be authorized to "create any agency or agencies" to buy the 1918 and 1919 wheat crop "wheat products and other foodstuffs and feeds" at the guaranteed price regulate export and import of wheat require preferential railroad service as long aa the railroads are under Government control control grain exchanges and prohibit trading upon them at such time or times as may be deemed desirable or proper to meet market conditions and competitive prices of foreign-grown wheat" and to such rules and regulations as may be deemed necessary to protect the Government of the United States from paying the guaranteed prices aforesaid for any wheat other than that covered by proclamations" Preoldent Ens Powers In ft ddition the President through the agency he would designate could also sell either domestically or by export wheat wheat products or byproducts at a profit or loss as "in the judgment of such agency may be neeessary" He could also lease buy or requisition storage space and prescribe the terms to be paid for it In transmitting the measure to the committee chairmen William A Glasgow Jr chief counsel for the Food Administration wrote that the legislation was requested in order to "maintain the guarantees in their integrity to the farmer and to save the Treasury of the United States from loes if that be possible" No Estimate of Cost Thus far there has been no estimate as to what the cost to the Government of maintaining the 1919 Prices would be Officials have said that it depended largely upon 'Euro pean needs the amount of stocks in Argentina Australia and Canada and whether or not Russia would have available supplies for export From the 1918 crop the United States probably will have a surplun of 277000000 bushels for export and carry-over America Will Be Called Om "If the total surpluses 01 other countries are exhausted and Remota is not relied upon for anything this year" said the ataiemen "the United States will be called on to export 233000000 bushels and would have a carry-over into next year of 44000000 bushels "This carry-over however is likely to be reduced by inceased consumption in the United States and Europe following several years of short rations The 1919 wheat crop in the United States is expected to give an exportable surplus of 350000000 to 400000000 bushels Foreign Purchases Factor In both 1919 and 1920 the question of price and the ability of European countries to finance purchases are the determinative factors" The Department also has estimated that European needs for other grains will be so great that the United States will be able to supply only the re quired amount of oats falling short on rye barley and corn 11 36-in dress flouncing yd 69c are of sheer white voile with deep borders of pretty

no one in authority in the executive chair at Washington is drifting along like a rudderless ship United States Senator Warren Harding of Ohio declared before the annual McKinley Day banquet here last night WI boon Ran Away Speaking of President Wilson's going abroad Senator Harding said: "The only fault I find with the President is that he has been six years teaching Congress after the manner of a teacher that it can't do anything except as he orders and then he runs away at a difficult time and leaves no one to teach and direct in his stead However a fortunate preponderance of sentiment throughout the country has made it possible to correct that unfortunate condition after next March 4th" The 'Senator referred to McKinley as the man ho waged the first war for humanity's sake and who wrought the first National expansion Now That You Can Build Your New Home Ry ERNEST WALKER WASHINGTON January Charles Curry to-day declared that he believes tbe outlook is very favorable for the retention of Mather Field by the Government as a permanent aviation field He said he understands charges regarding alleged immoral conditions at Lockport Walnut Grove and Folsom have been Weil with Federal authorities in an apparent effort to prejudice aviation authorities against Mather Field Curry attributes these to activities of former Senator Edwin Grant He does not believe however that Grant's charges will weigh materially with army officers who have the de elision to make New Spring Pacific Embroidery Packages J1S Take Time to Plan It Carefully HUGE SUM WILL BE PAID IN NORMWEST

plugs in the dining room and LONDON January memorial service for the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is planned for Westminster Abbey at a date not yet fixed Such a service for a foreigner is extremely rare at Westminster Abbey The uncertainty about the date is owing to the desire of Premier Lloyd George to postpone the service until the new Parliament is in session so that all the members now widely scattered may attend While all arrangements are not yet perfected It is eXpected that King Geerge and Queen Mary will attend The Archbishop of Canterbury probably will officiate MINNEAPOLIS (Minn) January 29 Passage of the Administration appropriation bill will probably mean approximately $300000000 will be given wheat raisers of the Northwest by the Government in carrying out its guar antee on the wheat prices millers and financial men of Minneapolis said The Northwest raised about one-third of all the wheat grown in the United States in 1918 or about 280- 000000 bushels in the States of Minnesota North and South Dakota and Montana Big Decline Expected Minneapolis grain men familiar with the world wheat market assert wheat may decline to 2125 a bushel after trade has taken its natural course when the peace pact has been completed This would mean the Government would have to stand a loss of nearly $1 on every bushel of wheat in the country The guaranteed price to farmers is expected to stimulate wheat production to such an extent that the North west yield in 1919 is estimated at approximately 300000000 bushels lt PITTOCK DIES PaTITIAAND (Ore) January Henry Pittock
