: FOOD CAMP pAIGN
To Make Definite Plans for the
Conservation Program at
Meeting to Be Held
This Week.

Plans for the registration of Ne.
braska housewives for cooperation
with Mr.. Herbert Hoover's food con-
servation campaign will be made
Thursday or Friday of this week at
a called meeting of the executive
board of the State Council of De-
fense which was chosen at the meet
ing last Saturday in Lincoln.
The executive committee, consist
ing of the chairman, Miss Sarah
Hrbkova, Miss Anna Miller, state sec
retary, and eight other members, in
cluding Mrs. Z. T. Lindsey of this
city, who represents the Red Cross
work in the state, will meet to make
plans how to raise money and how to
reach the women of the state in
pledging their cooperation.
This probably will be accomplished
by dividing the state into wards
and precincts just as political machin-
cry operates" said Mrs. DrapetSmith,

SENATORS FROM
SOUTH OPPOSING
COTTON CONTROL
Southerners Protest Against
Government Fixing of Prices
and May Hold Up the
Food Bill.

Washington, July 3.-Addition of
cotton and its products to articles
which the government would control,
voted yesterday by the senate today
resulted in increased opposition 10 the
food bill. Southern senator's promised
a new. fight to strike out the cotton
clause while others plan to later offer
amendments eliminating many other
articles from the Control" section.
Without record votes, the senate
adopted many important committee
amendments to the bill, including the
section defining and Furnishing hoard
ing of necessaries and the provision
for government licensing of imports,
exports, manufacture, storage, mining
and distribution of necessaries.
Accept Farm Exemption.
The senate also adopted the pro.
vision exempting farmers, gardeners
and live stock growers from the
licensing provision.
Despite the progress made, lead
ers believed it still would be neces-
sary to use the cloture rule in order
to reach a vote this week.
Lines of division on prohibition
were apparently holding fast with no
prospects OF compromise and a
square fight and vote forecast over
the question OF authorizing the presi-
dent to suspend manufacture of beer
and wines, with both factions agreed
upon prohibiting distilling.
Leaders said private polls indicate
a, large majority in favor of prohibit
ing distillation but against giving the
president any power over the light
beverages.
Consideration Is Deferred.
At the request of Senator Reed
consideration OF provisions prohibit
ing government employees or members
of advisory commissions from selling
their own products to the government
was deferred.
The senate agreed without discus
sion to the committee substitute
which would give the president power
to commander food, feed, fuel and all
other supplies necessary for military
purposes or the common defense Of
the nation. This broadens the re-
QUESTIONING powers of the president
as provided in the house bill.

IMPROVERS ARE
TAKEN TO TASK
BY MAYOR Jim"
Charges United Improvement
Clubs Made Up of Clique,
Following Criticism of
Street Department.

Mayor Dahlman ripped the cover
off the ball during council meeting
this morning. a g
He hurled def at the United
improvements Clubs of Omaha and
challenged that organization to pre-.
sent to the city cornell such evidence
as will show that it is representative
body. The mayor stood right up and
gave a demonstration OF pep"
The trouble arose over communi-
cation from tne improvers, criticizing
the street cleaning and maintenance
department.
Commissioner Parks presented to
the council records to show that his
department has been giving a good
account of its stewardship and in-
vited the council and the improvers
to investigate.
Mayor Speaks Up.
II offer motion that the United
Improvement Clubs OF Omaha be
called upon TO give this council data,
showing how many clubs belong to
the organization, how delegates are
elected and how and when meetings
are held" began the mayor.
"My information is that from six
to ten men attend the meetings and
that resolutions are adopted by few
men who don't really represent i'm.
provement clubs. 1t is just the same
little bunch at their meetings, The
council is entitled to know who they
are, because they are always butting
in. l would also suggest that the
United Improvement Clubs appoint
a committee to look into the records
of the street department. Mr.. Parks
has just submitted a fine report to this
council"
The council passed the mayors mo-
ton and the city clerk was directed
to advise the improvers of the action.
w. T. Hamand took up the defense
of the United Improvers, but the
mayor shut him off by telling him to
send in the desired information in
writing.
R. ]. Sutton is secretary of the
United Improvers. He is brother OF
Detective Paul Sutton.
Reduces Cost.
In statement submitted to the
council Commissioner Parks stated
he is flushing streets at cost of 28
cents per block under his motoriza-
ton plan, as against $l.59 block
under the old plan. He reported 6,22l
street holes filled since April.
"Our pay roll has been increased
$25,000 year by reason of increase of
wages. Gentlemen, if you will fur
nish me the money, ! will guarantee
that all of the people will get the at
tention they deserve" stated the
superintendent Of the street depart
ment. st..-
