Urges Control of Food.

Representative Bense of Port Clin.
ton, oldest member in point of serv.
ice in the assembly, has declared for
a state commission to regulate and
control the sale and distribution Of
all foodstuffs. He believes the con-
sumers of the state will force the
next assembly to enact legislation
creating such commission if the
present legislature does not act.
The proposition advanced by Bense
in connection with the food investiga-
tion report is being eagerly discussed
by the assemblymen. Bense says
that the control and distribution of
food affects the people of the big
cities even more vitality than the
proper regulation of public utilities.

Columbus, O.-The house passed
three bills dealing with the erec-

law only railroad presidents can form
these companies.

All transportation companies using
the tracks, terminal facilities and

ASSERT LAxITYAT BOYS FARM
Parents Say Boys Smoke cigarets and
Roam Country unguared at Night
Head Makes Denial.

Cleveland, O.-Complaint is being
made by parents of boys sent
to the Boys Farm at Hudson that
their children, instead of being dis.
ciplined there, are allowed to smoke
cigarets and to spend the nights roam
ing unguarded through neighboring
farms and the country for miles
around. The Hudson farm, according
to these parents, is making corrigible
boys incorrigible, through unrestricted
association with bad boys and lack of
regulation.
Cary r. Album, head of the farm
since the first Of the year, said the
discipline is not as strict as it would
be at a reform school, because the
boys committed to Hudson are not as
vicious and do not require ruling with
an iron hand. Album admitted there
Is cigaret smoking, but declared it is
continuation of habit learned be-
fore the boys were committed, and
that whenever discovered it is dealt
with.
Hans Hansen, 16-year-old boy who
has just returned from the farm, says
the boys have a contempt for author
ity. When a master attempts to use
his physical strength on boy, the
others interfere and pull the master
away, says Hansen. He declares
smoking and card playing are fre.
quent, and that it is the custom for in.
mates to slide down fire escapes after
being put to bed, and spend the night
wandering about the country.
