PLANS BEING MADE
FOR CORN SHOW
PERMANENT GROUNDS AND
BUILDINGS NEEDED
Lumber Yards Have Service Depart
ments at Work on Building
Plans

The executive committee of the Tri-
County Corn Show met at the Oakes
National Bank Friday and made plans
for this years show. There were
present, Messrs. Seifert, johnson,
Nichols and Ames.
The matter of getting a plot of
ground and putting up buildings, as
planned last February at the Short
Course, was taken up and discussed,
with the result that it was decided to
try and purchase 21s acres of land
where the old gas plant stood, and put
up set of buildings. The plans in
clude separate buildings for the cattle,
horses, hogs, poultry, etc., besides
sales pavilion for stock and a band
stand.
Plans were drawn up and submitted
to the Thompson Yards and Salzer
Lumber Company's service depart
ments to have blue prints made as
we'll as the estimate of the cost. The
committee made figures on the PROPOSE
tion which will entail an expenditure
of from $4,5OO. to $4,000. This will be
raised through the sale of stock.
Oakes has kept this up for seven
years. It is the biggest thing held in
the three counties in the way of stock
and agricultural exhibits and it should
be encouraged in every way.

 SAID ID BE CAUSED
 BY GERMAN AGENTS

Scranton, Pa. Jury 4.--With the arrest today of Joseph Graber, an organizer of the Industrial Workers of the World charged with being a spy in the employ of the German government. federal au- thorities declared their investigation had satisfied them that recent strikes and agitations of the Industrial Workers of the World in the anthracite coal regions had been stirred up by German agents with the hope of lessening the power of the United States in the war by de- creasing coal production. Graber, who was taken into custody by United States Marshal James s. Magee, was held with out bail under the alien enemy act.
 Information in our hands," said John M. McCourt, assistant United States dis trict attorney, who has charge of the in- vestigation, proves the connection be- tween the organizers and leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World move- ment here ana the German government. Graber, an organizer of the Industrial Workers of the World, is a German agent Our information proves. too. that German money mas been poured into the district in an effort to cause strikes and thus lessen coal production"

 English Celebration

London, July 4.-Never be1ore nus the British press devoted so much snare to America's Independence Day as on the present anniversary. The evening newspapers seize the occasion to print news stories, editorials and cartoons, all of which carry the note of hands across the sea-
 The historic significance of the day is freely mentioned, but far from ex- pressing acrimony the writers all adopt an attitude similar to that dis nlayed in an article in the West minister Gazette. which says:
 .Today America becomes English and England American. and we are forgetting little of our phlegm m paving tribute to the fact"
 The Evening News publishes huge cartoon of. Uncle Sam and John Bull in army uniforms marching arm in arm to war John Bull remarks to Uncle Sam with a smile. "Today's the dsy you left me. Sam. the day that made you free" Uncle Sam beams on his companion and replies, .Yes. John, free to come back"
 The news articles are headed with such captions as. "Old Glory; London Makes Flag Day of July Fourth"

CONSTITUTION IS ID BE NO BAR. ID FOOD BILL PASSAGE Neither Will it Fail Because it Grants Powers Equal
 to Caesars DESPITE OPPOSITION MEASURE TO SUCCEED People of Country Demand Relief and Congress Will Be Forced to Ac- cept Plans of Administrator
 at Fnal Stage
Ky HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, July 4.-(Special)--I is regarded as possible that Senator Hardwick was correct when he de- clared that no such powers as those contained in the administration food control bill had ever been conferred by any people since the days of Iii berius Caesar.
 It is also regarded as possible that Senator Reed was correct when in an exceptionally bitter speech he declared and to his own satisfaction proved that the administration food control bill was unconstitutional.
 Nevertheless, there is no question but that the bill in it's every essen tial feature will be enacted into law. It is the consensus of opinion that if the bill is legally attacked it will be held by the supreme court valid.
 CONSTRUING THE LAW
 For the supreme court has been said to be court so enlightened that i'll time of emergency it can be depended upon to construe law not literally but in accordance with public polity. Such practice has been compared to the act of giving real vision to blind justice.
 In defense of the constitutionallty of the bill Senator Lewis, democrat whip and regarded as one of the spokesmen of the administration, de- clared that in time of war many of the provisions of the constitution were suspended in their ordinary or routine manner of operation; that is, under extraordinary conditions. the constl- tuition acquires extraordinary meaning and significance; that the constitution, but, on the contrary. was intended as an elastic document
 The argument pro and con was re- garded as immateriaL
 VIEW OF ALABAMIANS
 For it is a safe prediction that the bill on it's final passage will not be considered from the standpoint of it's constitutionality
 Senator Underwood expressed the conviction that Senator Lewis would have difficulty in proving that simply because of war the constitution could not be applied. It was his position that the control of food supply was neces- sary and the bill, conveying extraor7 dinary power to the executive, should be enacted; but that adherence to the constitution should be continued.
 Senator Bankhead took the view that the constitution was regarded by many as a shield behind which enemi es at home and abroad might conceal themselves. Regarding extraordinary powers to be given the President, Sen ator Bankhead declared that such pow CTS were necessary to enforce the law and added. extraordinary emergencies demand extraordinary measures"
 NATURE OF BILL
 Such expressions of opinion, such unusually bitter debate could not fail to indicate the unusual nature of the bill in question. No one has denied that the powers to be conferred on the President would make him vir- tual dictator over the business of the country if he shourd desire uniformly

U-boat shows It's periseope in channel waters only with the greatest risk. It is impossible to keep entirely secret such incidents as that of an oil- driven destroyer which few days ago swept into port with part of rammed submarine hanging triumphantiy from her prow.
 Airplane and dirigible patrols in the channel are proving highly effective and a U-boat once sighted by dir igible has small chance of getting away.
 In waters further afield one of the best evidences of the success of the Atlantic patrol was the safe arrival of the American transports at French port.
 Forecasts that the summary of British shipping losses by submarines and mines covering last week would show the small est number of sinkings in many weeks were verified by the actual figures. The total of 20 merchant ships sunk compares with 2S the previous week and g for each of the two weeks preceding. The heavy falling off in tonnage sent to the bottom is emphasized by the fact that
