Don't you think It would be a
great saving II you would Hooverize

asked. WHY just think how much
meat, how much grain, how much al
falfa you could save and send over
to Europe TO help the starving peo-
1T wouldn't save a bit" MI. Bushea

"WCE YOU got the wrong uunch,
Mr.. Bushea explained Il used 10 be

about IT being a zebra on him, and

time talking about Parker than about
the show. He thinks Parker is one OF
Americas wonderful men
Parker was q poor man In Abilene,
Kans-. 25 years ago. and earning $40
q month" M Bushea said "One sat
urday night he had one dollar left for

insisted on going TO ride on tle Iner-
ry-gO-rOuuC- When Parker got PACK
he had ten cents left for a loaf OF
bread for sunday. He said TO him
self that II such an amusement de-
vice would take his last dollar. it
would take other peoples. and he
went into the business. At first he
bought and repaired second hand
merry gO-rounds. then later manufac-
tured them himself. He added new
devices and now has the largest con-
Germ in the world. even exporting TO
foreign countries.
Amusement concessions are main
tanned by Mr. Parker at Fort Riley

LITTLE ACTIVITY IN BATTLE AREAS,
 EXCEPT IN FRANCE
German Grown Prince Makes Series of Attacks,
 With Little Success.
Associated Press Summary.)

Little activity Of major sort is visible in any of the war theatres, except along the front in the Aisne region of northern France. Here the German crown prince, in a series of attacks on the French line along and near the western end of the Chemin des Danes, where the curving front protects German fortress of Laon, which a further French advance would threaten.
 These attacks have been launched in force at various points. At one or two places they met with some suc- cess, notable near Froidmont's farm where OF Friday a considerable French salient fell to the Germans. Friday night various attempts were made by the Germans to debouch from this salient, but the French fire was too much and no further pro- gres was made. The infantry attacks were not renewed on Saturday, but the artillery fighting continued all day with violence in this and other sec tors of the French front.
 In the eastern theatres, there are indications that important fighting will again be under way soon. While conditions in Russia continue uncer- tain and mixed, the nations armed forces seem to be regalnlng their morale and to be nearly ready to at tack once more. The example of "storming Italians" comprising new organizations of troops who have 1n- dicated their eagerness to fight, is having a salutary effect and is said to be proving infectious. Everywhere there are signs that the general de-
 mand that the army move without further delay cannot much longer be
 resisted. While the Italians have let up in
 their attacks in the Trentino, the
 success of their recent assault, which
 resulted in the captures of the im-
 portant height of Monte Ortigara, is
 emphasized today by the announce
 ment that the Austrians lost some of
 their heavy artillery as well as suf- fering other losses of magnitude in 1 the operations. Four guns were
 taken by General Cadorna's troops.

Administration Food Con, trol Bill Passes House,
 With Amendments.
GOVERNMENT MAY
 TAKE ALL STOCKS
Prohibition Forces iD Lower House of Congress Overcome Parliamentary Objections and Force PrOviS-
 ions Into Measure.

Washington, June 23.-The admin istration food control bill, giving the president broad authority to control the distribution 'of food. feed and fuel for war purposes, and appropri- ating $152 100000 for it's enforce ment and administration. was passed by the house late tonight, after far reaching prohibition provisions had been written into it.
 The vote was 365 to ,. Representa- lives McLemore, Slayden and Young of Texas, Democrats, and Meeker of Missouri and Ward of New York, Re- publicans, voting in the negative.
 After several hours of parliament tary sparring, during which the pro- hibitory proposals were thrown out repeatedly on points of order, the pro- hibition element forced the adoption of amendments which would forbid the use of any food stuff during the war for making intoxicans. and would over, in his discretion, all stocks of distilled liquor.
 Action on the prohibition amend mont was taken in committee of the whole and opponents of the proposal immediately began mastering their forces before the bill came up for final discussion in the house proper. The amendment, designed to cut of the manufacture of liquor, was adopted, 132 to IA. in the committee of the whole. It was submitted by Repre- +cf Do oF crat. and provides that no food, food material or feed could be used dur ing the war for the manufacture of alcohol or alcoholic beverages except for government, industrial, scientific, medicinal and sacrificial purposes.
 On the amendment authorizing the government use of distilled spirits there was no roll call, and only a few scattered mays were heard on the viva voce vote. Originally proposed by Representative Webb of North Carolina, it was accepted by Chairman Lever of the agriculture committee and was adopted on his motion.
 As originally adopted. Representa- tive Barkleys amendment would have provided also against the use of foodstuffs in making non-alcoholic drinks but this feature later was stricken out.
 An amendment by Representative Lenroot to forbid the manufacture of light wines and beer was defeated, 134 to 124.
 There was hot debate over the pro- hibition feature. Vets and drys ac- cused each other of unfairness and Representative Meaker, Republican, and Representative Kelly of Pennsyl- vania, Democrat, got into such row that their friends surrounded them to prevent a physical encounter. In the senate, no progress was made on the bill during the day. The leaders could not hold quorum and con- sented to an adjournment after a short session, devoted mostly to rou- tine
