"CHOP SUEY BILL"
TO HELP big BILL"
BY United Press Leased Special Wire


WASHINGTON. d. c.. June "a
Under the manipulation of Chairman
Tawney, Of the House appropriation
committee. the "chop suey bill" is as
suming shape.
This measure is usually called the
Urgent Deficiency bill. and into IL Is
dumped everything that cannot rea-
sonably be put into the other big ap-
preparation bills. One OF the items
that viii go into the "chOp suey'' bill
is the paragraph appropriating $4,000
for the Presidents travelling expenses
and another win be a like amount for
the governments participation in the
Belgium Exposition next year.
Tawney had a talk with the Presi-
dent about the Belgium Exposition ap-
preparation. and when he left the
executive Office gave the Chinese name
70 the urgency deficiency measure.
Hereafter I'm going TO call the bill
the chop suey BILL" said he, for IL
has about everything In Il. It's a
dumping ground for all the odds and
ends The chop suey bill is a good
place TO put the Presidents travelling
expenses bill. for there doesn't seem
to be any other pocket for It. I have
no doubt whatever that it will pass
for all the members are agreed that
he should go around and be seen and
no one wants him 20 pay the bills out

BIG YEAR FOR
STATE CANNERS

DOVER, June 24.-This viii be a
year for the canning and packing
business in Delaware The workers
and laborers Of the country, those
who mostly patronize the canned
goods salesmen in winter are rapidly
returning to their tasks and earning
the livelihood which sets in motion so
many other industries
Probably the strangest feature Of
the business year, is that many grow
.ers are engaging largely in the pro-
duction of tomatoes without having
signed any contracts for their sale or
delivery. In some sections where this
Independent action has been taken. the
Gamers, fearing a. repetition of last
seasons prices, have offered only
twelve cents the basket. while in nearly
ell places the price is fifteen cents
the basket. Sixty baskets 10 the ton
make this a 80 per ton rate,
The 50 rate is a far greater price
than ten years ago prevailed for many
seasons. when Sc dollars was only
possible with the packers and several
packing firms failed even paying that
low price.
