FOOD WASTE MADE ILLEGAL
California Passes Law Providing
Penalty for Destruction.

Sacramento-The lower house of the
state legislature has unanimously
passed "high-cost-of-living" bill.
The measure, which is only II lines in
length, makes it unlawful "for any
person to destroy any animal, vegeta-
BILE or other stuffs in restraint of
trade, which are customary food for
human beings and are in fit sanitary
condition to be used as such"
"The bill is aimed at the reputed
common practice of the dealers of de-
stroying food products in order to keep
up the market price," said Assembly
man Roberts, who introduced it..
"Shima, the Japanese potato king, is
reported to have thrown thousands of
sacks of potatoes into the river when
plentiful crop threatened to push the
price down below the point to which
his control of the market had enabled
him to boost it in previous seasons. "
The maximum penalty provided for
"persons, firms or corporations, vio-
lating the act is fine of $500 or i'm
prisonment for six months.

Washington, D. C.-News that the

Ambassador Chinda to make formal

Pending the return of Secretary

FARMS WILL NEED 10000 MEN
Prospective Wheat Crop in Kansas
Largest Ever Known.

Topeka, Kansas Facing the pros
pect of a wheat crop of more than
120, 600, 600 bushels, the lowest esti-
mate based on Secretary Columns re-
port of acreage and condition, the
State Employment bureau already has
begun plans for bringing into Kansas
an army of nearly 10000 harvest
hands. Secretary Coburn's report Of
conditions of 80 per cent in the great
ly increased acreage Of wheat was
based upon reports sent previous to
the recent soaking rains which fell all
through the wheat belt.
Basing their estimates on his re-
port, grain dealers, farmers and mill
ers estimated that the wheat yield, if
conditions remain the same, will be
124, 900, 900 bushels of wheat. The
soaking rains so improved conditions
that men whose opinions carry
weight, declared that only a contin-
uous drought from now until harvest
time could pull the crop under $780,
600. 900 bushels. There is no doubt
but that competition will be SO keen

HEAVY IMMIGRATION COMING
Panama Canal to Bring Many to
Pacific Coast.

Berlin-The exemption of American
vessels from the payment Of tolls for
passing through the Panama canal is
unjust and places German shipping at
a disadvantage, according to Philip
Heineken, managing director of the
North German Lloyd, who writes to
the Tageblatt.
He expresses confidence, however,
that German shipping interests are
sufficiently powerful and enterprising
to maintain competition even under
these circumstances.
Herr Heineken hopes, under Presi-
dent Wilson's regime, the measure of
discrimination will be revoked. He
foresees big immigrant traffic to the
Pacific Coast of both the United States
and Canada, and in a more limited
way also to South America.

Cincinnati - Many householders in
Cincinnati who Saturday bought sacks
OF potatoes advertised for sale at a
reduced price by large grocery of
Cincinnati, were surprised when they
opened them to find they contained
cards saying that the potatoes had
been grown in Oregon or Washington
and had been donated to the sufferers
by the recent disastrous floods in the
Dayton district.
The grocery firm had advertised
that it would sell 10000 sacks of
Western potatoes at about half the
regular price, or SO cents a bushel
The buyer for the firm said they had
been offered him at a low price by a
member of the flood relief committee.
who had told him the committee had
received huge shipments of potatoes
from the West, and that because the
tubers were a perishable commodity
the committee had decided to sell
them. He said the price at which he
bought them enabled his firm to sell
them at a small profit at SO cents,
though the prevailing price Of pota-
toes in Cincinnati retail market is
now so cents bushel.
No statement from the relief COM
mittee was obtainable.

DEATH OF SCOTT PEACEFUL
Exhaustion, Rather Than Starva-
ton, Was Evident Cause.

winnipeg, Man. - Exhaustion and
not starvation was the cause of the
death of Captain Scott and the men
who died with him on his way back
from the South Pole, according to
Lieutenant Gran, a member of the
supporting party which found the bod
les OF the party in the frozen Antarc.
tic. Lieutenant Gran stopped off in
this city for few hours on his way
to London.
The end of the party was peace
full" declared Gran. "When we came
up to the tent in which the bodies
were, all was silent.
1.-The snow had drifted about the
tent and something seemed to tell that
the end for them had come. All about
us were desolate wastes of snow and
ice and chill came over our hearts.
Lieutenant Wright, of Toronto, a
Canadian, who commanded our little
party, approached the tent first and
lifted the flag. We followed, expect
ing the worst, and formed in little
group about the mouth of the tent.
Captain Scott lay on his back as if
asleep, but outside of his sleeping bag.
The bodies of DR.. Wilson and Lieu
tenant Bowers were in their sleeping
bags and it was apparent that they
had been carefully wrapped up by
Captain Scott, who evidently was the
last to die.
Lieutenant Bowers lay on his side,
exactly as if he were asleep. DR..
Wilson was sitting in half-reclining
position, his back against the inside
of the tent, facing us as we entered.
On his features were traces of faint
smile and looked exactly as if he were
about to awaken from sound sleep.
/ had often seen the same look on his
face in the morning as he awakened,
as he was of most cheerful DISPOSE
ton. The look struck us to the heart
and we all stood silent in the presence
of death.
While they did not die of starva-
ton, still all their food had given out,
and, worst of all, their fuel" he said.
"Then it must be remembered that
they were experiencing terrible
storms, and a man cannot see in any
direction when these storms are blow
ing.
"When we had secured all the equip
ment and the records of Captain Scott,
we laid the bodies side by side and
said a burial service for them. Then
we removed the poles from the tent
and covered the bodies over with the
canvas. On top of this we built a
cairn of snow and ice about Is feet
high. We then took two skis, bound
them together in the form of a cross,
erected it on top of the cairn-a last
memorial to the dead - and left them
where they fell"
Gran has in his possession Scott's
diary and records.

WHITE PLAGUE
Is NOT CURED
Friedmann's New York Patients
Worse Than Before.
Health Department Makes Strong
Criticisms and Public Warned
to Be Careful.

New York-The friedman patients
in New York are not doing we'll. In
fact, some of them are decidedly i'll.
This fact, combined with knowledge
OF the nature of the sale friedman
mas recently accomplished, has made
all physicians connected with the
friedman tests anxious not only for
their own patients, but for the well
fare Of the public in general.
Before the week is out it is most
probable that three, and perhaps four.
public statements will be made from
public institutions, none of which will
be favorable to DR.. Friedman or his
treatment.
This information has been placed in
the hands of the New York health de-
partment, telling of the poor showing
which the friedman patients, all of
whom have been watched for the de-
partment, have made.
The statements made are strong.
One of them is supposed to be that
some of the cases treated would have
been better off if they had not had the
friedman injection and that the
presence of the culture in their systems
seems to have given the bacilli a
chance to work in places which they
might not otherwise have attacked.
1t was learned Monday from the
best of sources that the friedman
pulmonary patients at Bellevue have
not only failed to show any improve
ment, but that with many of them the
disease was having its course uninter-
rupted. Many of the pulmonary suf-
ferers there treated by DR.. friedman
at first showed gains, such as in
creased weight, but have since fallen
back. Actual conditions of the lungs
have either remained the same or be-
come worse. Only one case was men
toned in which the lungs had i'm
proved, and that in an incipient stage.
It was also said that at Mount Sinai
hospital the patients have not made
progress and that the disease is run
ming its own course. The same is un-
derstood to apply to the Montefore
Home, where DR.. friedman also
treated great number of tubercular
sick.

and proceeded. A crowd gathered and

him, but the police arrested him.

What Does 1t Cost to Raise Kale?
At the request Of Prof. F. L. Kent,
OF the dairy department of the Oregon
Agricultural college, prominent Ben
ton County farmer prepared the fol-
lowing statement of the cost of pro-
ducing kale.
"We figured 20 cents an hour for a
man and one horse to cultivate" he
says. eve took what we considered
an average row of kale and cut and
weighed it for our average yield to
the plant. We have kept time on
several occasions while gathering to
feed. On this we base our cost ton
for gathering.
Il think you will find our estimate
very moderate on the weight of
plants, for we deducted two pounds
from each plant for fear we might not
have made fair estimate in choosing
the plants for the weighing. The es-
innate does not include rental value of
land nor value of the manure before
application
The $500 plants, averaging in
weight 16 lbs, made $4,000 lbs, or
1871 tons. They were grown on a half
acre of black clay loan. For fertiliz-
alton it took two men and one team 16
hours, equal to $40; for blowing, a
man and team 2 hours, 81; for har-
rowing and cross-harrowing hours,
80 cents; clod MASKING 2 hours, 80
cents; re-plowing 2 hours, 81; har-
rowing and cross-harrowing again 2
hours, 80 cents; twice again disking
and cross-disking, A hours, $1.60;
clod-mashing again hours, 80 cents.
The plants cost 81, and transplant
ing 20 hours, 81. Cultivation four
times, each time taking hours, was
10 hours, costing So. Hoeing twice,
10 hours each time, made 20 hours, or
81. Pulling the weeds once took
hours, costing 80 cents, and harvest
ing took 36 hours, costing $7.20.
This made a total of $37.7O for the
cost of raising the 1871 tons, or 1924
as total cost to the ton.
