ESPIONAGE MEASURE
 PASSES THE SENATE
NEWSPAPER CENSORSHIP AND PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
 ARE STRICKEN OUT.
BILL HAS PASSED HOUSE
Senate Has Changed Many of the lm- Portant Features of House Bill and Added New Provision So That Vir-
 tuaI Redrafting Is Necessary.

Washington-After nearly three weeks of debate, ranging over innum- erable problems of the war, the Sen ate, by vote of 77 to six, passed the administration espionage bill, pro- nounced one of the most drastic and all-inclusive measures in American congressional history.
 A similar bill has passed the House and virtual redrafting of many of the most important provisions is expected in the forthcoming conferences.
 During final consideration the Sen ate stripped the measure entirely of provisions for newspaper censorship and restriction upon manufacturers of grain into intoxicating liquors and re- jected an amendment designed to curb speculation in food product, although sentiment obviously was overwhelm- ing in favor of such legislation later.
 As completed the Senate bills prin- cipal sections provide:
 Authority for the presidtnt to em- bargo exports when he finds that "the DuDllC SdlGLy o1lu MGl1CtIG G oO itAdA4 N' (Not in the House measure).
 Authority for the Postoffice Depart ment to censor mails and exclude mail matter deemed seditious, anarch- istic or reasonable and making it's mailing punishable under heavy pen alties. (Not in the House bilD.
 For punishment of espionage, deffn- ed in most detailed terms, including use of military information.
 For the control of merchant vessels in American waters.
 Punishment for conveyance of false reports to interfere with military ope- rations, wilful attempts to cause dis affection in the military or naval forces or obstruction of recruiting.
 For the seizure of arms and ammH- nftions and prohibition of their expor- tation under certain conditions.
 For penalizing conspiracies design ed to harm American relations or for destruction of property with the Unit ed States. For increased restriction upon issuance of passports, with pen alties for their. forgery or false pro- curement, and for material extension of the power to issue search warrants for inspection of premises.
 On the question of prohibition and food stuff conservation, the Senate, by vote of AT to 37, reversed its ac- ton of Saturday in accepting Sena- tor Cummins amendment providing that, during the war, manufacture of cereals, grain, sugar and syrup into intoxicating liquors should be pro- hibited.

MAKING EFFORT TO
 AVOID FOOD WASTE

The big planters of the Scott neigh borhood, near Little Rock, who long have been recognized as the most up- to-date body of farmers in Arkansas, anl also the most prosperous, are go- ing to raise more food and feed stuffs than ever before, and they are making a concerted effort to avoid waste.
 It is not necessity that compels them to do this, for all of them are financially able to buy practically any thing they want. But it is their idea that by avoiding waste they can "do their bit'' toward making more food available for shipment to the Allies in Europe.
 The idea first was suggested by H. c. Brown, secretary of the Scott Cot ton Growers Association and one of the most enthusiastic members of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce. MT. Brown is practicing what he breaches, for he has installed in his home a corn grinder. Instead of buy ing flour, he buys wheat and makes it into flour with his corn grinder He uses less wheat and saves four dollars 8 barrel and he says that the whole wheat bread is much more paltable than that made from the ordinary commercial flour He intends to stick to whole wheat four, war or no war.
 Mir. Brown outlined his ideas at meeting of the wives and daughters of the Scott planters, and they have entered enthusiastically into the cam paign to eliminate waste. They have held meetings with Mrs. Houston Gean, teacher of domestic science in the Scott school, and she has suggest ed many ways of saving.
 Also MT. Brown has suggested to the planters that they talk to the ne groes on their plantations and urge them to avoid waste. For one thing, he said, that most negro tenants have more dogs than they need, and that if the surplus dogs were killed, some saving would be made He said that many negro tenants keep a horse just to drive around on Sundays, animals that are not really needed for work. He suggested that such animals could be sold 10 persons who really need them, and to whom the cost of feed ing would not be an unnecessary ex- pense.
 ''Too much cannot be said on the subject of raising more feed and food" says MT Brown. However, we feel that the conservation side of the question has been overlooked, and We feel that if properly investigated and handled, just as much good can be done as by the production of more food crops. It is very hard for people who always have had plenty to believe that in a few months the necessities of life may be scarce and hard to get. But remember that the people of Eu- rope are living on half rations to none at all, and we must feed them or they will starve. This war may last only a, few months and it may last for years, especially if Russia should make d. separate peace
 'There are many ways by which each of us can cut down our living ex- penses, the amount of what we eat, and the value of what we eat. and while we may be able to buy all we want, we should remember that the food that we can do without and thus save, leaves that much to help some one who needs it."

Ancient Chinese Used compass.

As early as 2,634 before Christ the compass was known in a crude way to the Chinese and it was used by them for purposes of navigation as early as the third century of the Christian era. But the policy of the rulers and the habits and character of the people con- spired to render the Chinese indifferent sailors, and the compass did not be- come of, the great importance to, them that it did to the seafaring nations of Europe.

Three courses seem to have been the customary menu in mediavaI times for state banquet, less ceremonial feasts comprisin gonly two, and no private dinner more than one.

One of them died recently and the other took the check for the amount of his estate to the bank.

Unhappy in Friendship.

Many people expect too much from their friends. They may themselves be so thoroughly genuine and sincere that they expect all their friends to be the same, and when they discover little faults in their idols they feel the disappointment most acutely. Do not pitch your standards too hign, hen you are less likely to have your idol shattered. Try to remember that friends will never disappoint us if we observe two simple rules: CD to find out what they are; e to expect them to be just that.
