Washington, June 22-First steps to-
wards congressional action to throttle
the coal trust and bring down the
price of fuel were taken today when |
the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee began consideration of the
Pomerene resolution authorizing the
president to fix coal prices and il ne
cessary to take over the coal mines
and operate them. In statement to-
day Senator Pomerene declared that
immediate action by congress Is neces.
sary to prevent paralysis of the in
dustries of the country because of
the exorbitant prices of coal He
declared that there is no real short
age of coal and that high prices are
simply the result of "Gouging" prac-
tees of the coal dealers Since the
introduction of his resolution several
days ago, he said, the coal dealers In
his home state, Ohio. have begun to
heed the popular clamor by entering
into negotiations for the fixing of
maximum prices.
1T is essential for the national
security and defense to assure an
adequate supply and equitable distri-
button of coal at reasonable price
for the government and the people OF
the United States and to protect them
against exoribtant prices for coal"
said Senator Pomerene. Prices Of
coal in many parts Of the country
have reached an exorbitant level and
large numbers OF consumers, both in
dustrial and domestic, are unable to
obtain needed supplies of fuel
1.-THE failure to procure such prime
necessity impairs the health and
strength of the people OF the United
States upon whom the national de-
fense rests and involves the partial
or complete cessation of many indus
tries essential to the supplying Of the
armed forces with necessary mater
ials and munitions of war The pay
ment of exorbitant high prices for
coal imposes such an expense on the
people of the United States as to ma
terially impair their means Of sus-
tenance and their financial ability to
assist in providing for the national
defense, and also so increases the
coast Of cost of production of many
industries essential to properly arm
ing and supplying the forces of the
country that the prices of their pro-
ducts are greatly enhanced to the
, greatly increased expense of the gov
, ernment in the purchase of supplies
necessary for the prosecution of the
/ war"
Senator Pomerene's resolution has
the backing of both the president
, and the federal trade commission,
1 The commission has just completed
an investigation Of coal prices and
y has recommended the communicating
of the coal mines.
The committee expected today to

Change in Fire Department.
The most radical changes In depart

ment. Waging campaign for eific-
iency and service, Commissioner Wal
ter b. Palmer takes the initiative on
a very good movement, namely. to add
two more liremen to the present de
rartment. The service, however, of
tn volunteer firemen composd largely
of the members of the Undine Hose
Co.. will no longer be asked, except in
the case Of large fires, when Fire
Chief Joe Bossenin will issue the call
for their aid Ottawa will have a fire
squad of seven men who will be asked
to look after all blazes. without the
aid Of volunteer help. as in the past.
The method of paying the volunteer
fire department 81 per hour for their
service Is done away with In the new
movement Only in the case of real
need will the members of the undine
Hose Co. be called upon to render their
service.
The undine Hose Go. have rendered
valuable service in the past and their
help Is deeply appreciated by the city
and Commissioner Palmer as well.
With the hope of giving Ottawa bet
ter fire rate and run this department
on more efficient manner the new
method will he installed.

Some days ago. a woman passenger
on my train remarked that the railroads
were rather boastful In talking about
the efforts they were making TO aid the
government. pointed out to her the
strategic necessity of the railroads for
military purposes, calling her attention
10 the fact that not only are the rail-
reads called upon TO handle the ire
mendous increase in ordinary traffic,
but that the job Of moving the troops.

railroads as much as it is to the ocean

She said that il had never occurred to
her how really important the railroads
were in war tins.
Many of the travelling public. I and
complain OF the crowded condition ex-
listing. not only on my train. but on ev-
cry train throughout the country, never
realizing that every possible effort is
being put forth by the carriers TO supply
flrst Of all the needs Of the government.

upon the public the fact that the rail

Inendous strain of the war and that the
railroads today. under the command of
civilians have attained an efficiency and
discipline which conforms to that de-
Inanded by the best military standards.
I ind thas short talk with the pat

ride on my trains, invariably makes
them enthusiastic believers in the rail-
roads. am sure that many OF them are
now cooperating with the railroads

POTATO SOIL.
Importance of Seed sterilzing and Pro
viding Potash Plant Food.

Importance of Seed Sterilizing and Pro-
vidine Potash Plant Food.
In the preparation of the soil for po-
tato growing it should be understood
that a healthy potato in a healthy soil
only grows generously when the soil is
sweet. But great caution should be
used in lining potato ground in view
of the fact that scab infected seed de-
velops scab faster than potatoes in
sweet soil. To overcome this and at the
same time to derive the benefit from
the use of lime in providing the nat
full potato crop, lime only moderately,
and be sure to kill the scab and little
potato fungus on the seed.
For this purpose mix one pint of
formalin from the drug store with
thirty gallons of water. Hang the
seed potatoes in a sack in the barrel
for two hours, then spread on clean
to dry before cutting. Where stem
rot" Is feared, as well as scab, dis
solve two ounces of corrosive subli-
mate in two gallons of hot water
When dissolved pour into twelve gal
Ions OF water in barrel and hang the
sack of potatoes in for one and one
half hours. Dry on a clean floor
wiped with the same solution, before
cutting, and do not forget you are
handling poison and must wash your
hands after using the liquid.
If potatoes are planted in rotation
and do not follow the same crop if
the soil is well aeratcd by cultivation
and the seed disinfected. limited lining
the soil is without danger, and this will
supply the heavy potash needed
