WHAT PRICES CAN BE FIXED

There has been much discussion
about what prices the Food Admin
istration can fix. Prices have been
fixed on coal and wheat by authori-
ty conferred by the food control
legislation. Prices have also been
fixed on iron and its product but
under the food control law. This
was done by agreement with the
iron and steel industries and is vol
untary on their part.
The food control legislation con-
fers power on the president to fix
prices on coal and If necessary to
buy and sell it. It also confers
authority to buy and sell, and there
fore to Ak prices on wheat -four,
meal beans and potatoes. These
are the only articles over which the
president is given the price fixing
power. sss
The president is given power to
license any business Of the country
where the business transacted an
nually exceeds 100000. The pow.
er under such license is conferred
to regulate profits in any line OF

The provost marshal requests that

BANKER. At KERMIT
COMMITS SUICIDE

Noonan Miner: This communi-
ty was greatly shocked last Mon
day evening when the news reached
here that Mr.. A. C. Kotchain, cash
Ter of the First State Bank of Ker-
NIT, had committed suicide by
shooting himself in the head with
a A calibre revolver. It seems
that Mr.. Kotchian had been acting
queer all day Monday, and when he
did not show up at supper time Mr..
Bonzer, brother-1n-law Of Mr.. Kot-
chan, went out to search for him.
Seeing group of men over at the
blacksmith shop Mr.. Bonzer went
over but did not find him there.
Returning from the blacksmith shop
he noticed the door of the imple-
ment house open and went over
there. When he got to the door
he saw what appeared to him. as
the form of man lying at the far
ther end OF the house and going
back there found Mr.. Kotchian ly-
ing face downward with the gun
under him with "a bullet hole in his
head. The bullet entered the back
of his head and came out through
his forehead. Mr.. Bonzer immed-
lately notified the coroner but he
was unable to come so notified the
sheriff and Justice of the Peace
Tom Noonan who arrived there
that evening and took the remains
to Crosby where thev were, prepar-
ed and shipped to Lidgerwood, N.

business but not to fix prices. Au-
thority is given over fertilizer and
agricultural implements under the
license provision but the power to
fix the prices Is not conferred
only the power u regulate profits
The question Is often raised in
regard to the price of live stock.
corn. etc. The food administration
acting for the president can not
under the present law fix prices on
these things because the authority
to do that is not conferred. What
the next congress might do in that
line is not known, but until con-
gress does act no one has the pow
e1 to fix prices On any commodity
except as stated above.
The regulation of profits, which
may be done now In any line Of
business, Is an entirely different
thing from the fixing Of positive
prices. It will eliminate specula-
tion but it will not prevent high
prices II they are due to causes 9TH
er than speculation.

STOCK PRICES WILL
REMAIN HIGH

The announcement by Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover that cattle and
hog prices will not be reduced by
order of the board is of decided in
terest to the farmers of the north
west. Mr.. Hoover says In his brief
statement that the government rec
ognizes the Importance Of increas-
ing the production of meats OF all
kinds, and that this can be brought
about only by conditions which will
make the raising Of meat animals
profitable to the producer. There
will be no attempt on the part Of
the government to reduce the prices
of meat; animals. and producers
may proceed secure in the know
ledge that their efforts will be re-
warded by good prices for some
time In the future. The one line
in which results can most quickly
be reached is In the production OF
hogs, and it is to the interest of
the whole state that the fullest pos
sible attention be given now to this
feature. ~ -.%;,,: ~

Joe Patchen, Famous
 Pacer, Dies In Goshen

Goshen, N. Y., Feb. 20-The great pacer, Joe Patchen. 1:04N, sire of the windshield champion Dan Patch, 1:55A, and many other noted harness horses, died on Sunday at Joseph ] F. McClean's Midfeld Farm, near here. The horse was foaled in Kansas in 1889, and therefore was in his 2sth year.
 His career on the turf was one of the most remarkable in the annals of harness racing. He was known as the "iron horse.' and had paced more fast, hard fought races against for midable competitors than almost any stallion of his time, meeting and beating Star Pointer. 1:59A; John R. Gentry, 2:001z: Robert J., 1:01N; Frank Agan, 2:03A, and other star performers.
 The late John MeCarty, of Brook. lyn, bought Joe Patchen after his racing days were over and kept him in the stud at Parkway Farm, adjoin- ing the Orange County Driving Park, in Goshen. Eleven of his offspring earned records of 2:10 or better, but none made such a record at cam paigning as Joe Patchen had made.

It was twenty years ago today that Frank Erne. the Swiss boxer who later won the lightweight champion ship, suffered his first defeat Martin T1aherty, first class scrapper Of that period. was the laa who lowered the Buffalo boys colors in twenty round bout in New York. Erne, who had whipped George Dixon, the previous year, then consented to a return match with the clever little negro. and Erne for a second time, felt the sting of defeat. Then fol- lowed a long string of victories, lead Ing up to Erne,s defeat of George McFadden and George Lavigne, the latter triumph giving Erne the light weight title.
 Tn 1900 Erne weakened himself greatly in reducing weight for a bout with Terry McGovern, and was de- 1oated He then fought the we1ter- weight, Rube Ferns, at Fort Erie, and was knocked out for the first time in dls life. Tn 1902 he risked his title against Joe Cans, and was put to aleep in the first round.

The work of prep aration for the annual migrations to the Southland is now nearly complet- ed, and the Giants and Yankees will leave this week for the warmer south ern climate to condition themselves for the grind throughout the summer months
 John B. Foster, secretary of the Ma tional league club, announced at his headquarters yesterday that every thing was in readiness for the Giants departure for Marlin on Friday.
 At the offices of the American league club Harry Sparrow said that com plete roster of the players signed for the 1917 season would be made known tomorrow, when he will also make public the names of the players who will go to the Yankee training grounds at Macon, Ga., on Saturday.
 It was also announced that the signed contract of Elmer Miller, an outf1elder, had been received. Miller is at present at his home in Sandusky, Ohio. He was with the Baltimore team of the International league for a part of last season, but was recalled as the playing season was nearing completion and played on the Yankee lineup during August and September.

RIBBONS TACKLE FAST SHEEPSHEAD
 PLAYERS TONIGHT

The colors of the Blue Ribbons are apt to be lowered tonight when they meet the crack sheepshead Bay bas- ketball five at Colonial ha11 in the first game of the season between those old rivals. The Sheepsheads swept the Ribbons out of the way last sea- son and appear to be just as strong this year.
 Two of their last years stars, Mur- ray and Harvey, were signed by the Ribbons but the Sheepshead manage ment retaliated by getting two former Ribbon players, Leonard and Roach. It will be worth something to see Stretch Harvey and Leonard battling at center. The visitors have three of their 1916 lineup, Norman, Reich and Joe Dreyfus. The first two are playing forwards and Dreyfus has been assigned the task of guarding Beckman. The Ribbon forward has generally been helpless when opposed by Dreyfus. Tn case Swenson is un- able to get away from his banking job in New York, Manager Leavy of the Ribbons will have Bruggy of Paterson to guard Norman. Jimmy Clinton and Murray will also be on hand There will be a preliminary between the Walnuts and the Graph ophones.
