partment OF Justice for information con-
corning the agreement to be made with

Mr.. Lawrence "that the New Haven Of

Maine men who are identified with their
present financial system in which case
the much heralded trusteeship would be

divert the attention of the Government
There is a persistent rumor In Boston

RAIL RATES MAY Be

Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to Inquire Into Pres

Possibility That s Per Cent.
General Increase Will BE
Made Unnecessary.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.--The Interstate
Commerce Commission gave further EVIL
dence to-day OF it's purpose to cooperate
along certain lines with the railroads Of
the United States that are seeking to In
crease their revenues. The commission
announced that It was about 70 begin an
inquiry TO determine whether or not It
should authorize the railroads to increase
freight rates on what is known as import
business
Under the present practices commodities
imported from foreign countries are
assessed lower freight rates for shipments
inland than Identical goods produced in
this country. This difYerential has been
sustained by the commission on the ground
that II encourages trade.
Now that American producers under the
new tariff laws are obliged to meet
sharper competition IN the way OF In
creased imports general complaint has
been made against the dlferentisL.
The commission announced yesterday
that bn April 1 the railroads would cam
eel allowances made by them to certain
corporations that operate Industrial lines.
This will add millions OF dollars to rail-
way receipts.
While the Official estimates are not
available, authorities say that II the rail-
roads are permitted to increase their
charges on imported merchandise their

SOME FARM FACTS
BY Peter Radford, National
Lecturer Farmers Education.

LECTURER Farmers EDUCATION.
al and Cooperative Union
Get the difficulties out of the
farmers way and the farmers
problems will solve themselves.
The increase in prices of farm
products has not kept pace with
the increased cost of living.
The farmer can produce with
out organization, but to success
fully market he must unite with
his neighbor.
The farmer is the directing
head and operating hand of his
business. He combines, directs
and carries all responsibilities.
The farmer cannot be helped
until he organizes and the gov
eminent cannot help the farmer
except through organization.
The farmer sells at prices fix
ed in free trade markets and he
buys everything he wears and
uses in a high protective mar
ket.
The value of farm crops is de-
termined not only by the amount
If labor necessary to produce
hem but by having them on
he market when needed.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
SOME DRIED THINGS
Local Housewife Advocates Old
Fashioned Method of Pre-
serving Food for Winter

The following suggestions
from reader of this paper were
inspired by food exhibits in the
woman's department at the
Grape Carnival, where the chief
aim was to emphasize the utiliz-
alton of waste:
"In these days when nearly
everything perishable is stored
for winter in cans, some of the
old fashioned ways of preparing
food articles are well nigh for
gotten.
For a number of years, more
or less food stuffs have been
dried by the provident house
wife for winter consumption,
but this process has been gradu-
ally giving ground to canning.
The canning Of vegetables, par
ticularly, means long hours of
boiling and when a vegetable is
as succulent and tasty when
dried, the process is not only
much easier, but with bright
sun, almost as quick.
Stirring beans. if picked be-
fore they become too 'stringy'
can be strung on strings, hung
In the sun and dried in a few
days, and when soaked and
cooked are fully equal to canned
beans. Sweet corn can be
slightly cooked, shaved from
the cob and dried on plates in
the sun in a day and it, also, is
fully equal to canned corn. It
requires considerable cooking in
the winter but one has a fire
then anyway and the cooking is
not burdensome like boiling the
corn in the cans in the summer
time.
"Dried pumpkin, to the writ 3
er's mind, far excells the canned
article in flavor and tastiness (
or winter pies. This is pre-
Jared for drying by cooking in I
kettle as for pies, spreading an b
nch deep on plates and setting q
n the sun to dry. 1t is dark 8
olOred and hard when dried but t
eadily soaks up when put into t
7ater. When it assumes the t
of freshly cooked b
umpkin, mix with spice, eggs t
nd milk and bake in the usual b
ray. When once tried this way f
ried pumpkin has always t,
rOved a success. h
1T is necessary to put all the
ried food stuffs in tight tin or
lass cans to keep the worms p

NO BREAD FAMINE HERE
United States has Quarter of a
Billion Bushels of Wheat
more than Needs Require

Washington, D. C.,-There
will be no bread famine in the
United States this year. The
largest wheat crop in history
has just been harvested, and ac-
cording to the United States de-
partment Of agriculture the to-
tai production is approximately
81, 100000 bushels; nearly 15O-
100000 bushels more than any
previous crop produced in the
United States. We have at least
25O,OOO,O00 bushels of wheat
are not needed for consumption
at home or for seed. The sur
plus production of the United
States usually goes to Europe,
but under present conditions,
caused by the European war,
this cereal cannot cross the
ocean. About $4,000, 900 BUSH
els have already been taken for
export, but most of it is being
held at the ports of departure.
Conditions across the water
are not so encouraging. War in
Europe tends to prevent the
shipment of wheat from surplus
European countries to those
which need imports-for exam
ple-from Russia to France and
a famine there seems inevitable
