An extra session of Congress to be
called after the next congressional cleo
tions is the program now with some OF
the Washington leaders, who thus hope
to get President Wilson to consent to
an adjournment of Congress in about
a month from now. He wants to carry
through his antitrust program at this
session. while there are Others in the
party who either DO not want the pro
gram carried out at all or want 1t soft
ened by time, which they think would
be the case if the members Of Con-
gross 60 home and talk with people.
Among this latter class is Congressman
Underwood, who is trying to persuade
the President to let his program rest
until fall.

The parcel post as a means of III
rect communication between the food
producer and the consumer seems to be
proving its worth in the St. Louis dis
trict, where, after the publication Of
the first list of farmers prepared to
ship food products direct to city Gus
toners, there was an increase in the
first week of 6,0o0 in the number OF
packages sent into st. Louis from the
surrounding farm country and. the in
crease for the month amounted to 40
600 packages. \ second list is being
prepared and q corresponding increase
in the parcel post business Is looked
for. In the matter of utilizing the
parcel post to the fullest advantage as
means of reducing the cost Of food
supplies the people of some of the
Western localities seem to be far more
enterprising than our Eastern city
jewellers.

Kurn Hattin Deserves Support.

The Kurn Hattin Homes are ding a
tremendous work for homeless bo.s.
TWO new buildings arc eoca ~ 10

confronting the m32a@r-s is the fur
nishing Of these lcw homes and tie
running Of them atlct they are fur
nished for there are always boys on the
waiting list for these homes. If any
one is looking for a way to help the
world along, there is no better place
than some home for otherwise uncared-
for children. 1t is the kind Of philan-
thropy which reaches down through the
years because the boy or girl is made
into useful citizen in homes of the
Kurn Hattin type. Even a little gift
of money will help the Kurn Hattin
work and Xermonters should rally to
the work which is being done in oul
state to reclaim the waits ana give
them proper home surroundings.

1t seems incredible that a state like
Massachusetts, known as progressive
throughout the Union, could allow such
a fire trap to exist as that at Milford
in which seven Armcnians lost their

WARN AGAINST CAR SHORTAGE
Kansas Wheat Crop Must Be Moved
Utilities Commission Says

Topeka, May 15.-The Kansas
public utilities commission is get
ting ready to prevent a big car
shortage early next fall. The indi-
cations at present point to a wheat
crop exceeding 1876 million bushels.
The average freight car will haul
1000 bushels, the sizes varying from
forty to one hundred thousand
pounds capacity. 1t is going to re-
uuire around $4,000 cars to haul
the wheat crop and about one-half
the wheat crop will be offered for
movements to markets in July and
August. With the maintenance of
the present wheat prospects prelim-
mary plans are being made by the
state utilities commission for an
order to be issued to the railroads
of Kansas warning them against a
car shortage. The commission Will
order them to have all bad order
cars in repair for the heavy move
ment of traffic following the gath
ering Of the wheat crop next month.

power to see that the farmers are
not to suffer q loss from delayed

After July 1 It will be possible to

must wait until he reaches the right

fectiye July /, has been received AZ

II is easy to see that the order
will be Of particular value to the
transient class or those whose Dus-
mess takes them to many different
places. For instance a person might
purchase a money order in Abilene
to send to a friend, who expected to
be in Junction City the following
day. He succeeds in getting the
letter all right, but cannot or for-
gets to cash it until he goes on TO
saiina. Under the new rule he can
cash it there just as well as at
Junction City, although he must 90
Il within 80 days. Otherwise 1t Is
only good at Junction City.
It is also apparent that the change
will be of benefit to those VINO
might buy money orders payable 10
themselves as convenient metnoo
Of carrying money. They could De
cashed at any point in the united
States. The order applies to all
continental United States with the
