COMPROMISE NEAR
 ON FOOD CONTROL
Amendments, Drawn in Joint Conference, Hold Center Stage Make Many RevisiOns in Hope Reaching Agreement.

Washington, July 17.-Sentiment in the Senate toward compromising diff ferences on the food control bill ap- parently crystallized today on a'group of amendments drawn up at joint conferences of Democratic and Re- publican leaders.
 While on the Senate floor another day was spent in criticism of the de- fense council and other executive bodies, reprint of the bill was made embodying the leaders proposals which are expected to remove many basic objections and develop general support.
 Principal revisions recommended by the leaders are for limitation of gov ernment control of foods, feeds and fuels, including kerosene and gasoline creation of a special board of food administration of three salaried con- missioners, instead of administration by an individuals; fixing by Congress of basic minimum price of $1.75 per bushel for No. l northern wheat; ex- tension of government licensing to elevators, farm machinery, factories, packing houses, coal mines and deal CTS, fertilizer producers and whole salers of such products, and govern ment purchase and sale, to secure reasonable prices, of fuel, wheat, flour, meal, beans and potatoes only. Voting on these proposals and oth- CT amendments is expected to begin tomorrow. Among the first to come up probably will be that under dis cussion today, restricting sale to the government of products in which the volunteer advisers of the defense council are personally interested.

SENTIMENT GROWS
 FOR ALIEN Sf RVICE
Amendment of COnscriptiOn Act Is Sought-All But Seven States Have Completed Lists of Exemption.

Washington, July 17-All but seven Inf the states had reported completion of their local exemption machinery to- rioht. encouraging officials in their hone that drawing of lots to deter mine the order of liability under the selective conscription law may be made before the end of the week. Four states reported ready today and the War Department has been in- formed that in those remaining to re- port only a few local districts are missing.
 The plan of the drawing to be held in Secretary Bakers office virtually has been completed and details may be announced tomorrow. Secretary Bakers final approval is yet to be given, but Provost Marshal Gen.. Crowder may reveal enough of the details to guide, newspapers in pre- pairing to publish the result, and to inform registrants what facts they must ascertain to know their exact position on the liability lists.
 While these preparations are going forward sentiment apparently is growing in Congress for amending the conscription act to make aliens liable for service or otherwise to relieve the requirements placed under the pres ent allotment on communities with large foreign population.
 Bills have been prepared in both Senate and House, but the admins tration has not indicated that it will favor any change. Many officials hold to the opinion, on the other hand, that to compel aliens to serve would be a violation of international law.
 The states from which reports of complete exemption arrangements were received during the day were Utah, Alabama, Ohio and Virginia. Reports still are to come from Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, Missouri and Pennsylvania.

Cambridge Railroad to be Junked.

Citizens of Cambridge are making
strenuous efforts to get possession OF
the Chicago & Lake Superior railroad,
Wisconsin's shortest rail route. Re-
Gently the rails, rights Of way and other
equipment of the road were sold in
piecemeals at public auction by Frank
w. Lucas, receiver, subject to the ap-
prevail of the court The road runs be-
tween Cambridge and London.
The question now before the court is
whether the road shall be sold as a
whole or in pieces. The taking OF tes-
timony was begun Monday before
Judge Martin L. Lueck of Juneau, sit
ting for Judge Stevens of the circuit
court.
It developed during the hearing that
citizens of Cambridge had offered TO
pay $3.50 for the road, but that the
several other bids aggregated about
$500
During an argument on the question
of admitting certain evidence, Judge
Lueck interrupted to inquire whether
any assurance is given by the citizens
Of Cambridge that they will operate
the road if the sale is made to them.
FL. L. Butler, an attorney for the Cam
bridge citizens, replied that it is pro-
posed TO submit TO the voters of the
village the question Of issuing bonds of
$40, 600 for equipping and operating the
road. He maintained that the other
bidders propose to ''junk' the road and
that consequently service on the line
would rot be restored.
The court will also be asked to decide
the question as to whether title to the
engine and combination coach and bag
gage wagon is in the hands of the COM
pany which manufactured them. The
company has taken possession.
The road has not been in operation
since 1914 Testimony given Monday
was to the effect that the road and the
depot in Cambridge are in poor condl-
ton and that most Of the bridges and
culverts also are dangerous.
The court held that the citizens of
Cambridge, who offered to pay 81, 500
for the road, doubtless meant well but
that they did not give sufficient assur
ance that they would maintain and OPP
crate the line in the event the court
accepted their bid Judge Lueck fur
Their declared that it would cost about
$22, 600 to rehabilitate the road and
that the amount offered by the citizens
OF the village and the proposed bond
issue of $40, 600 would not be sufficient
to equip and put the road in running
order again. The several bids, con-
firmed by the court, aggregate approx
imately $4,000. The decision of the
court means that the road will be
junked.

velopments is the announcement that
one of the largest banking institu-
tons in America concerned with for
eign trade, the Guaranty Trust com.
pany of New York, has opened d Paris
branch to handle the rapidly increas-
ing volume Of French business.
This action may surprise many per-
sons who had thought Of France as
bowed under a calamitous invasion.
The bank, however, gives figures indi-
eating that France is not only meet
ing her military and civilian problems
with stout heart and never failing
courage, but is re-establishing her ex-
port business with this country.
In 1914, the year Of the outbreak Of
the war; imports from France to this
country totaled $141, 446, 252. This to-
tai was reduced to SIT, 158, 740 in 1915,
but last year the value of French i'm
ports to the United States rose to
$1O2,O77, 900.
"a nation that can achieve such a
commercial recovery while her terri
tory is being ravished by the invader"
says the Trust company's statement,
possesses recuperative powers which

LIBERTY LOAN SUNDAY

The National authorities suggest
that we make at least one Sunday in.
October Liberty Loan Sunday.
Pursuant to that suggestion I ap-
point Sunday, October IA, 1917, as
Liberty Loan Sunday for Rock Coun-
ty. l hope that each church in the
County will at its several services
bring this subject prominently before
it's members. The United States is
at war. The physical, intellectual
and spiritual welfare of our whole
people is involved. We are one large
family and must stand together to
bring this war to an early and sue
cessful conclusion. America must
neither bend it's knee nor bow it's
head to any nation on earth. Our
young men are going to the front Of
fering their lives as a sacrifice that
our country may live. Our soldiers
and sailors must be fed, clothed and
armed. The country asks no gift. 1t
offers a bond backed by the honor,
the manhood and the resources Of
what we Americans believe to be the
greatest and richest nation on earth.
It offers per cent interest on a bond
the income from which is exempt
from every possible tax in the hands
of the people Of average means.
Every one, rich or poor, has share
every one according to his ability.
The banks will handle subscriptions
SO that bonds can be taken with fu-
ture Incomes and savings. Show
that your patriotism is worthy OF
salvation. Do not let or expect
others to do your duty in this matter
It is as impossible to let another take
your share of the Liberty bonds as it
is to let another offer your repen-
lance. Let not another sun go down
with our duty undOne.

have very much of the warm weather
that tobacco requires, and there was
one period of drought that was hard on
the plants. Hail in various sections
caused serious losses, and on top of all
came the frost early in August. It
was estimated that the new crop would
fill about $4,000 cases and at the prices
the growers were asking, if paid, it
would mean Sc, 600, 900 crop for them.
But since those estimates were made
there have been troubles and those es-
Inmates have been materially scaled
down.
The outlook just now is that the
packers do not intend to pay the grow
ers what are considered extortionate
prices. The present owners of the
crop, and they are the growers because
very little has been sold, are not in a
fair way to receive the twenty-five
cents most of them ask Some of them
want five cents more. In previous
years the crop was bought on the field,
rs per cent by big outside cigar firms,
but it is a significant fact that these
concerns are not buying now even In
the face of the losses to the Wisconsin
and Connecticut growers, when Lam
caster county tobacco might be ex-
pected to furnish lot of wrapper and
binder goods. There is such thing as
overworktng a willing horse and our
growers are learning that there is such
a thing as demanding too much for
their tobacco.

To do this, get about four ounces of or

finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
