Regulation of Milling Also
To Be Dropped from
Pending Measures
Hoarding Clause
Ample, Says Hoover
Legislation Delayed by the
Opposition of Farmers
and Millers
Iron Tie Tribune Bureau

Washington, June THE pending
food control bills, when redrafted, will
not include provisions for maximum
price-fxing as a weapon against food
corners. 1t is further probable that
the proposals regarding whole grain
milling and mixed fours will not be
part of the food control Legislation at
this time.
Maximum prices and the proposed
change in flour standards have proven
a stumb ing block to progress on the
food bills for more than week. These
provisions have been vigorously con-
tested by representatives of farming
districts, who declared that farmers
the country over were unalterably op-
posed to the fixing of maximum food
prices. Similarly, the proposed modi-
fcation Of milling standards has been
opposed by the great cereal manufac-
turers on the ground that it would in
volve extraordinary expense for
changes in milling machinery.
Maximum price fixing has not been
urged by the Hoover food control adj
ministration at any time. Holland. Den
mark, Sweden and Germany, 1t was
pointed out to-day, have tried general
price-fXing and have found it a failure.
Remedy in boarding Clause
The pending food control legislation,
prohibiting the boarding of provisions,
it is stated, provides an adequate rem
edy for abnormally high prices. The
government is empowered by the legis-
lation now contemplated to break food
boards or corners by Communicating
and selling at 4 reasonable price.
The food control administration, 1t
was stated, believes that adequate con-
troll Of the prices of staple products
will be vested i'm the government
through the wide purchasing powers
authorized IN the pending legislation.
The Hoover Commission, IN cooperation
with the Allied Purchasing Commits
sion, will have absolute control over
the purchase of food for export.
Prices on food exports, IL was ex-
planned. will be fixed by the govern
ment in such a way as not to interfere
with domestic food prices The Ameri-
can consumer will not be compelled 10

Worcester. Mass. June T. Officers
and directors Of the Holstein-Friesian
Association, representing a membership
Of more than ten thousand dairymen,
sent an appeal 20 President Wilson to-
day. asking that grain prices be regu-

They voiced the opinion that unless
relief is afforded al once the dairy bust

 While few believe tnat the Germans will undertake to penetrate to the Rus sian capital over an inhospitable road $50 miles in length, nevertheless the news is regarded as serious, for it shows that the Russian army is far from the recovery which has been so often predicted.
 The abandonment of the city oe Riga became necessary when through the instability of Russian regiments, the Germans were able to cross the Dvina river at Uxyull, thus threatening the road to PetrOgrad from the southwest, while another army advanced across the Tirul marshes and along the shore of the Gulf of Riga toward the town. The penetration of the Russian posi- tion at UXkull is similarly likely to make necessary a encouragement of a part of the remaining Russian lines.

MAKING DESERTS
 MORE ACCESSIBLE
Special to The Republican,

WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 3.-To make the desert regions of the western part of the United States more accessi= ble by locating their widely separated watering places and erecting hundreds of signposts to give directions and dis tances to the watering places in an in teresting and practical project recently undertaken by the United States geo. logical survey, department of the in- terior. The project involves also the work of making accurate maps show !ng the locations of the watering places, of preparing guides describing them and giving the distances between them, of selecting well sites, and of develop ing watering places (so far as money available will permit in localities where water is most needed and where the geologic investigations indicate that underground supplies can be obtained. It is expected that this work will help to expedite the discovery and develop ment of the rich mineral deposits in parts of these regions it will, of course, also be valuable in other respects.
 In recent years the water supply ge- ologists of the geological survey have developed trustworthy methods of To- eating ground water in arid regions from surface indications and of eSti- mating the depth to water and the ap- Ximate annual yield of the under ground reservoirs. Those methods will be applied and further developed in connection with the survey of desert watering places.
 A number of survey parties are now being organized in Washington and will in few weeks be at work in the most arid parts of Arizona, California and Nevada Each party will consist of a geolOeist and one or more assistants and will be provided with an automo- bile and camping outfit.

 FLUSHING LAR

A Ford car labeled 'No g" crashed into the Phoenix street flusher at Third and East Adams streets at 11:30 o'clock last night, and in the crash, Sam Cooper and Joe Ronides, occu- pants of the Ford car, sustained slight cuts and bruises, the radiator of the Ford was completely smashed and the flusher so seriously damaged as to place it out of commission for the remainder of the night.
 The Ford, driven by Jack Smith, was running at a rate varlouSly estl- mated by bystanders at from twenty to thirty miles an hour when it crashed into the huge flusher which had stopped at the corner to get water. The automobile had six occupants, al though it had but one seat. Three of the occupants were in the seat and the other three were clinging to the car, at the sides and rear. Occupants of the car say they thought the flusher was going to move and that their car would have time to clear the flusher at the crossing. Cooper, who lives at 409 West Jefferson street, received cuts about the face and body but was able to walk to the office of Dr. LOT enZo Boido at the corner of Third and Adams distance of a few feet before falling. Ronides however, was rem dered unconscious by coming in con- tact with the pavement when thrown from the car, and had to be carried to Dr. Boido's office, where he was soon revived by the doctor. No in- ternal injuries were found and both boys were able to walk home.
