Washington. May 22.-Food legisla-
tion laid aside in the Senate yester-
day is to be taken up again at once.
That dealing with stimulating produce
tion first will be taken up and a new
bill dealing with food control will fol-
low.
The Senate agriculture committee
today reported a redrafted bill deal
ing with production. 1t amended the
House bill introduced by Representa-
tive Lever Cor the Department OF Ag-

with price-fiXing, food administra-
tion, prohibition and regulation of
grain exchanges.
The amended bill. agreed upon to-
day by the Senate committee, provides
for national food survey and ap-
propriates for various measures to
increase food production. 1t would
authorize the Secretary of Agricul-
ture to investigate all details of the
present food supplies, demand. con-
sumption. costs, transportation, pro-
duction, storage and distribution and
to cooperate with state and other
federal agencies in increasing pro-
duction. Appropriations for specific

posed.

Force Reductions in
Price of Hard Coal
By Associated Press

Washington, May Enclosures
to force anthracite coal prices will
be taken, the Federal Trade Com
mission announced to-day, if pro-
ducers and dealers do not adhere to
their recent statement on the sub
Ject: In its interim report of May 4
to the United States Senate the Fed
eral Trade Commission, promised
that its utmost efforts would be used
to assure fair distribution and fair
prices of anthracite coal.
The commission has sent agents
into different parts of the country
who will observe closely throughout
the anthracite trade the operation of
plans formulated at recent confer
ences the commission with operat-
ors, jobbers and representative re-
tailers for bringing down prices to
moderate levels and keeping them
there.
There field agents will repeatedly
promptly to the commission for ap-
preparation any renewal of the in
tolerable abuses that marked the ac-
tivities of certain elements of the
trade during months.
The Independent operators have
realized that the situation calls for
publoc spirited action on their part
and it is expected that they will re-
duce their present prices to mod
crate levels for the season and CO.

i. S. TO TAKE
OVER FOOD In
TIME OF NEED
Government Experts Oppose
Fixing of Maximum Price
on Staples

Washington. May 90. - Although
government food experts oppose fix
ing maximum prices on staple food
products except to force big holders
to release their supplies. protection
for the consumer will be one of the
first considerations of the new food
control administration.
II there is shortage in any food
staple and 1t becomes essential to
lower the price. the government, it
was said to-day, will not hesitate to
take over supplies and distribute them
itself, In this way officials believe
more can be accomplished than by
setting maximum prices beyond which
sellers may not charge. If there is
an abundance of food, however, they
do not think it ever will become nee
essary to exercise the power of COM
mandeer.
A short crop of any commodity, food
experts say, will send prices up
through competitive bidding. despite
ordinary regulatory measures and the
only remedy. they hold. in this case.
is for the government to take over
the product, paying the grower a good
price and distributing the food where
it is most needed.

According to figures given out this
morning by officials of the Harris
burg Clearing House Association,
Harrisburg Is expected to buy ap-
proXimately one and one-half million
dollars of the Liberty Loan. If 1000
patriotic citizens each buy two 500
bonds the amount will be practically
raised. The remainder of the million
and a half it is expected will be
raised by the instalment plan of
buying.
Fourteen bond statesmen have al
ready volunteered their services free
of charge to sell the bonds. Each
will be furnished with an authoriza-
ton, signed by Victor Lecoq. chair
man of the committee, to show they
are vouched for by the Clearing
House Association and the Chamber
of Commerce.
The statesmen who have volunteer
ed their services and the houses they
represent are: T. Clancy, Frederick

reputable men as will volunteer for
the work will be of great assistance

Calls on Men Not to Hide
Behind Petticoats or
Children in Army Draft
BY dSsocinied Prcss

Washington, May 22. - do not
hide behind petticoats or children to
avoid service in the new national
army is the injunction of Provost
Marshal General Crowder. in an off,
cial guide he has issued to show
how questions put to those who reg
lister on June should be answered.
The guide explains that there is no
desire by the government to draft
any one who is the sole support of
any man, woman or child, but points
out that unless the person you have
in mind is solely dependent on YOU
exemption would not be granted.
The registrar will drop perma-
nently from the list those with
physical defects, such as the alb
sence of a lef or an arm making un-
fitness for service obvious, but all
other claims for exemption will be
passed upon by the local boards
The applicant will be required to
state specifically the character of the
work he is performing in order that
the board may judge If it is such as
to warrant the government in excus-
ing him from army duty.
IF you are a felon or otherwise
morally deficient and desiFe to claim
exemption on that ground. state your
ground briefly" says the guide.
The difference between natural
born" citizen and a naturalized citi-
zen is explained carefully and 1t is
pointed out that even alien enemies
within the age limit will be required
to register although they will not be
drafted.

Producing More Steel, Food,
Clothing and Other Necessi-
ties Than Ever

Harrisburg. Dauphin and sur
rounding counties are producing and
will produce this year more food,
more steel. more clothing and other
necessary articles than ever before
in history.
All mills, factories and farms
around here are being worked at the
highest productive speed The only
thing keeping them from going
faster and producing more is the
lack of men. 1t is estimated that
several thousand more men could be
employed here in the various indus
tries and on the surrounding farms.
The big Bethlehem Steel plant at
Steelton, the Central Iron and Steel
Company, the Harrisburg Pipe and
Pipe Bending Works and other
firms turning out munitions or other
articles vital in time of war are
busily turning out record produc-
tions.
On the farms every available acre
of ground is being cultivated. This
where intensive farming is being de-
veloped to its highest possible form

recently returned from an auto trip

Portland, Me-, May %. - It was
officially made known to-day that the
reported presence of submarine off
the Maine coast was being investigat-

A patrol scrutiny of these waters
was ordered following a report to
the naval stations that a periscope

On the heels of the reports came
the word to-day from three lobster
fishermen that they had sighted from
two different points what they be-
lieved to be a German -ubmarine
They sighted the craft they said, off
the mouth of the Kennebec river at
9.f5 o'clock this morning. The fish
