BELOW THE Az
ERAGE IN RECRUITING

Reports from over Kansas show
that the state has mark of "a per
cent in regard to filling the quota
of 1880 men. 1t is believed however,
that recruiting will increase to-
wards the end of the week and it is
with that end in view that the To-
peka officials are planning a re-
cruiting campaign for the next few
days. Abilene, according to these
figures. is far below the average
Out of the $50 men necessary for
the company to be filled to war
80 have been secured
This would mean that Abilene has
C. mark of GA per cent. But when
the recruiting is fully under way
under the plans of Caytain Browne,
il is believed that Co H will be
filled.

WHEAT PRICES TO DROP
WITH NEW FOOD LAW

Washington. June 2S.-The 10
cent loaf of bread is to go 1t was
learned today that one of the early
acts Of the new food administra-
ton, when it receives its powers
from congress, will be to WELD the
axe on the prices of important food
commodities where it appears that
there is no justification for the in
creases which have been imposed
from time to time since the Euro
pean war began.
No satisfactory explanation has
been offered for the extraordinary
high prices for bread in this coun-
try, particularly in view of the fact
that France, England and Italy i'm
port wheat from the United States
and sell bread made from it at
,rices lower than those which pre-
,ail here.
The first measure to reduce bread
Irices will be the imposition of an
on wheat This will result
n an immediate drop in wheat
,rices.

committee today considered author
ization of additional bonds.
Senator Stone formally proposed
a bond issue of $500, 100000. The
committee plans to reach decision
tomorrow and to fix the rate to be
imposed on war excess profits
probably 1G per cent. During lengthy
committee discussion Pf tho bond
question, a larger issue was not
suggested, altho with a half billion
Ct bonds, Senator Simmons said the
bill still would fall short by $780,
100000 and probably more of meet
ing the ensuing years war expense.
From excess profits the commit
Tee now plans, under its latest esti-
mates to raise $3O0,000,00O.
