Glance Over TO-Day'S Adver-
tisements. It pays

Recently Secretary OF the Interior,
Franklin X. Lane, warned the private
owners of 100000 acres of idle land
near the government reclamation pro-
jects, that if they failed to cultivate
their holdings, the government might
confiscate them. "NO one has a right
TO what he does not use, ,"said tht Sec
retary. The report of this warning
brought the following letter to Sec
rerary Lane frim c. b. Kegley, mast
err of the Washington Grange;
Good, Mr.. Secretary. But why

the millions of acres of land by
speculators oil over our broad

but it is a breeding ground for
all manner of pests to destroy

Workers Urge Britain
To Commander Food
Danger of Rich Having Unfair
Advantage Pointed Out to
Parliament

London, April 23.-The Workers Ma
tional Committee, representing leading
labor organizations, has made the fol-
lowing recommendation to the British
Parliament:
an the opinion of this committee the
real danger ahead is not so much that
supplies will be reduced to famine
basis, but that foodstufs will be al
lowed TO be driven up to such prices
that the well-to-do will satisfy their
needs at the expense of the unprosper-
Gus, while additional profits will be af-
forded wholesale and retail traders.
at therefore is imperative that the
local authorities throughout the coun-
try Immediately take in hand the or
ganizing and distributing Of the food
supply in their respective areas, that
the workers organizations set up vigi-
lance committees and that the govern
ment take the following measures:
"First-The purchase of all cssentla!
imported foodstutis.
Second The Communicating of all
home grown products.
Third To place all such commodi-
ties on local markets under conditions
which will secure full benefits of the
governments action to the consumer.
Fourth To regulate on an equita-
BILE basis the consumption of all food
stuffs whereof there is shortage.
"Fifth-TO sell bread during the war
at pence a foJr-pound loaf, any loss
50 involved to be met as part Of the
general cost Of the war"
