QUALIFY FOR OFFICERS
FOR FIRST 100000 CALLED

Attention of those who wish to
make application to enter the officers
training camp for commissioned po-
sitions in the first army of 100000
drafted men is called to the advertise
ment on another page. Several from
this vicinity have already made appli-
cation and have been accepted. The
training camp for this district at
Fort Riley, Kansas, began work on
the 9Th inst, and those who wish to
enter should act at once, not later
than the 14th.
Messrs. Marbury and Watson, To-
cal chairmen of the Military Train
ing Camps Association, are informed
that the House and Senate conferes
on the army bill have agreed upon a
provision to allow regular army pay
to the officers now commissioned in
the officers reserve corps and $500
a month to others taking training at
the camp.
The Governors of the States are
urged to make an effort to get into
the camps for reserve officers some of
the older and more responsible men,
as, according to present plans, the
men going to the first camps will
probably be advanced in the near fu-
ture and it is necessary to have older
men of greater responsibility to fill
these grades"
Candidates who are accepted by the
Examining Board are required to re-
main at their home address until they
receive from the camp commander
written orders directing their attend
ance at camp.

MISSOURI BANQUET TO BE
MOST UNIQUE OF AMERICA

Stepping into a land of Nipponese
dreams, with the blossoms of the
cherry, the wisteria, and the ever
present crysanthemum, all direct
! from Japan-that will be the expert
ence of the newspaper men of Mis-
souri,, and of the distinguished writ
ers and men in public life of the Unit
ed States when they enter the BAN
quet hall on the night of May 18 to
attend the "Made-in-Japan" banquet,
which will close the annual Journal
ism Week of the School of Journal
ism of the University of Missouri.
Never has any city in the United
States planned festivity so unique.
Upon the table will be food sent
from the Island Empire and to each
banqueter will go souvenirs of the
oriental type. A full carload, fifteen
tons in 83 cases containing about 25,-
600 different food products and SOU
venirs typical of Japan, have been re-
ceived in Columbia, from San Fran
cisco where they were delivered from
the Nippon Maru. The total cost of
the products, not including customs
duty and freight, will be something
over $4,000 All of the products
come as gift to the School of Jour-
nalism from the people of Japan
through the services of the Americas
Friend Society of that nation.
At the same time the banqueters
take their seats in Columbia, 400
members of the Americas Friend So
ciety will be seating themselves about
a banquet table in the Imperial Ho-
tel in Toxic. Cablegrams will be ex-
changed. Speakers at the Toxic ban
quet will talk of the United States
and of the American "Made-in-Japan"
banquet.
Saburo Kurusu, Japanese consul
general in the United States, will be
the principal speaker at the Column
bia banquet. Mercel Knecht, French
journalist formerly with the La Matin
of Paris, will represent that country.
Karl Walter, British-American jour
nalist, formerly dramatic critic for
the Kansas City Star, will speak for
Great Britain, and Mel Nelson, trade
of New South Wales,
will be the Australian speaker.

PROPOSED NEW
WAR FOOD BILL
Provides for Price Fixing as Well as
Jurisdiction Over Production
and Distribution

ers to prevent food speculation, was
ordered favorably reported from the
Agriculture Committee last week
The committee reduced the appro-
priation carried from $25,000,000 to
approximately $20,000,000 and elimi-
mated a section authorizing the Sec
rotary of Agriculture to order the
immediate sale of any food in such
condition that unless promptly dis
posed of it would become unfit for
use. The section will be incorporated
in coming third measure which is to
confer broad powers on the Council
of National Defense.
Factories, plants, mines or other
establishments engaged in producing
necessaries may be requisitioned and
operated by the Government if it be
essential" said Lever of the new bill.
Gust compensation for the use is
provided. The Government is further
authorized to purchase, produce or
otherwise to procure necessaries and
to sell them at cost
Power is granted to compel hold
ers to disgorge and put on the mar
ket necessaries held by them in excess
of amounts reasonably needed to sup
ply their legitimate individual or bus
mess requirements for a reasonable
time. The President may regulate
exchanges, including their practices,
quotations and the like, so as to avoid
their employment as instrumental |
ties to effect unjust market manipula- |
tons, injurious speculation and undue
enhancement of prices.
"The President is empowered to
fix minimum prices, assuring fair and
just relations to producers or owners,
whenever, in an emergency, he finds
such action essential in order to en-
courage greater production. In such
case the Government will guarantee
producers of necessaries within the
United States, who act in reliance up
on the guarantee, that they will re-
ceive not less than the minimum
price prescribed for their products.
Anti-Dumping Clause.
"The bill also contains an anti
dumping clause. This vests power in
the President to find what rates of
duty on the importation of necessar-
les, for which minimum prices have
been prescribed, are required to pre-
vent flooding of the American mar
ket with such excessive importations
as to defeat the practical operation
Of the minimum price plan. When he
determines these rates, by force of
the statute itself they go into imme-
liate effect.
Whenever the president shall find
that an emergency exists requiring
such action, he is also empowered to
fix maximum prices of necessaries, if
in order to prevent extor-
tion."
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-05-11

A food bill supplementing t.
measures pending in Congress pro
yiding for survey of food condi
tons and looking to prevention Of
food speculation during the war, ant
which is said to have the approval Of
the Administration, has been prepared
by Representative Lever to be intro.
duced in the House, and a similar bill
is ready to be presented in the Sen.
ate, say Washington dispatches.
The purpose of the new bill, Rep
resentative Lever explained, is etc
stimulate production, to reduce waste
to clear the channels of distribution,
to prevent boarding, to assure fair
prices, to eliminate injurious specula-
ton, to prohibit evil practices and to
protect the public against extortion."
Administration officials believe the
measure would have the effect of pre-
venting the evils it seeks to eliminate,
without the exercise of the powers au-
thorized.
Provisions of New Bill.
In the bill it is proposed to en-
power the President under the war
clause of the Constitution to take
these measures whenever in his opin-
ion the natural emergency shall re-
quire:
To fix maximum and minimum
prices for food, clothing, fuel and
other necessities, and the articles re-
CURED for their productions;
To prescribe regulations to govern
the production of these commodities
and, if necessary, to requisition the
producing factories, mines or other
establishments;
To compel holders of necessities to
release them in amounts insuring
equitable distribution;
70 regulate exchanges in such a i
way as to eliminate market manipula- |
ton;
To compel railroads to give prefer
ence to the movement of necessities;
To levy such importation duties as
he finds necessary to prevent excess
sive dumping" of foreign products;
To impose limitations or prohibit
tons upon the use of grain in the
manufacture of liquor.
In addition the Secretary of Agri-
culture would be empowered to es-
tablish standard food grades, to IL
cense and control the manufacture,
storage and distribution of foods, to
prescribe the percentage of flour to
be milled from wheat and to regulate
the mixing of wheat flour with other
flour in the making of bread and
other food.
Committee Approves Earlier Bill. !
The food measure introduced in the
House earlier in the week, providing
for survey of the country's food re-
sources and comforting certain pow

A GREAT DANGER
TO BE AVOIDED

New York, May 3, 1917.-"One of
the greatest dangers that confronts
US at this moment is misguided
thrift" declares a statement issued to-
day by S. W. Strauss, President of
the American Society for Thrift.
'In our efforts to be periodically
economical, we find ourselves going
to extremes in the opposite direction,
which is just as great menace as
wastefulness and extravaganza" he
said. "One of the worst calamities
that could befall our nation at any
time would be to stop the wheels of
industry, but more especially now.
"The point is to differentiate be-
thrift. In times of peace or war,
waste is reprehensible, but indiscrim-
mate tight-fistednes is worse, because
in such conditions the provident are
made to suffer with the improvident.
Because the whole nation suddenly
has become conscious of the necessity
of thrift, we as individuals should take
care not to defect from their normal
courses the tides of the nations money
that turn the wheels of industry.
America as a nation is not in any
danger of running short of money,
but we are threatened with a food
shortage because on US rests the du-.
ty and responsibility of feeding our
allies.
Everyone can distinguish the diff
ference between prudent living and
wastefulness. If a man buys suit
of clothes, pair of shoes or a hat,
his money goes into legitimate cir
culation and furnishes uses for CAPT
tai and employment for labor.
The American people have respond
ed in a grand way to the needs of the
hour. We are going to conserve our
resources and increase our food sup
ply in way that will astonish the
world, but in doing this we stand face
to face with economic hardships un-
less each individual is governed by
common sense, prudence and fore
sight.
"In brief, administer your expendi-
lures in clean, honest, legitimate
and patriotic manner. Eliminate
waste of food, bearing in mind that
every mouthful you save may be the
sustenance of some starving fellow
human being abroad. We should not
tear down on one hand while we are
trying to build up on the other. Those
in business should not hesitate-be
courageous and KEEP on going. Ameri-
ca has everything to make herself
prosperous. The billions of dollars
which are being raised for war pur-
poses will eventually return into the
pockets of the people. Even the
money which we loan to our allies is
being spent Immediately in America.
The national bond issue means that
Tor. some years to come this country
viii be paying back the obligations
incurred today. America is still in
the midst of the greatest era of ma
terial prosperity the country has ev-
er known.
I'm the matter of Individual expen-
diture every man should be guided
by his own necessities and the needs
Of his country. Let none of us be
Stacker in the business world. This
s no day for the coward or weakling.
Be brave and confident. Remember
the most accurate need of our nation
today is intelligent, productive, con-
structive thrift"

THE BIGNESs OF TRIPLES

If you can't be the Big Wheel in a
great machine, at least be a good
screw.
Every responsibility is important
Each bolt in the bridge bears a part
of the strain. A loose nut there, a
snapped rivet here and the whole
structure is exposed to collapse.
Details cease to be trifiing the mo-
ment they threaten the main works.
Tiny errors disrupt titanic plans. Be
ing a messenger boy doesn't appear
to involve ability but if a vital letter
fails to arrive at the proper hour, the
carelessness of an obscure bungler
Immediately discounts the efficiency
of an entire organization.
There are two very scarce types of
men-those who can lead and those
who can heed. Both contribute sig
nally to the prosperity of every con-
Germ.
The strength that commands may
not be yours but exactitude is beyond
nobody's capacity
A reputation for dependability is
almost as valuable as a name for
originality.
First class second-class men need
never worry about the future-it's the
second class first-class workers who
are usually out of jobs and at elbows.
Herbert Kaufman.

WORTH REMEMBERING

Keep away from gambling rooms,
pool rooms, and all places where you
would not care for your employer to
see you-or have you see him. There
are valuable positions always opening
up in any progressive concern. Be
ready to be promoted. Promotions go
straight to the cherry, intelligent
worker.-Elbert Hubbard.

1T is NOT EASY

To apologize.
To begin over.
To be unselfish.
To take advice.
To admit error.
To face sheer.
To be charitable.
To keep on trying.
To be considerable.
To avoid mistakes.
To endure success.
To keep out of the rut.
To profit by mistakes.
To think and then act.
To forgive and forget.
To make the best of little.
To subdue an unruly temper.
To maintain a high standard.
To shoulder a deserved blame.
To recognize a silver lining
But it always pays.

BREH REACHED PORT AND
 SAMPLES STILL DRY

From arid Seattle with the fame of being the biggest dry city in the universe there went forth recently a shipment which would make the brewers of Milwaukee expand their chests with pride says the Seattle Times.

 The beer is to do its best in quenchIng the thirst of Petersburg Southeastern Alaska, the inhabitants of which have the reputation of be- ing the dryest on the Northern hemi sphere.
