 FOOD LAW FELONY

Washington, May 31.-Hoarding, stora ge or destruction of food, fuel or other necessaries of life to limit supply or af- feet prices would be felony under an amendment of the governments first food bill adopted in the Senate today without a record vote.
 Violation of the section would be pun ishable by imprisonment in the penten- tiary for not less than six months nor more than three years. Holding by farm CTS or others of the products of land cultivated by them is exempted.
 FINAL VOTE SATURDAY which provides for a food survey and stimulation of production neared the final stage today, but the introduction of a number of amendments shortly before adjournment probably will prevent final vote before Saturday.

It would permit the secretary to catch and market fish. A letter from Secretary Redfeld in support of the proposal was read.

CHARGES MADE

Theodore Ion, professor of inter national law at George Washington university, declared Hibben was en- gagged in propaganda work for the Greek government and that he was receiving $500 month for his serv- ices and that he had in his pocket pa pers which would prove his assertion.

Minerals Needed By
The u. S. Government

The Colorado Geological survey
is cooperating with the U. S.
government in an attempt to find
workable deposits of certain
minerals for which the war has
caused an increased d e m n d.
Among these minerals are: Ores
of molly bdenum Gree from copper,
ores of vanadium, uranium, nickel.
manganese and platinum. Trans.
parent, unfractured hourspar in
fairly large pieces, and as nearly
colorless as possible is also needed.
Pale green and very pale purple
colors may not prevent its use if
it is otherwise satisfactory.
Persons knowing of deposits of
any of these ores should write to
r. D. George, state geologist,
Boulder, Colo, sending an average
sample of the ore if possible, and
describing the deposit. If the
sample and the description appear
to warrant further investigation
the state geologist or some one
appointed by him will examine the
deposit without expense to the
owner. If it should prove prom
Using a report will be presented to
the proper United States officials.
Prospectors and others not
familiar with these ores will find
descriptions of them in Bulletin 6
of the Colorado Geological survey.
This is now out of print, but
Bulletin IL, covering much of the
same ground, will be sent to those
who have not had Bulletin 6.
Those applying for it should send
Is cents to cover postage. Until
Bulletin IL is ready the survey can
provide a pamphlet which de-
scribes the ores mentioned, and
those of all other important metals.
This will cost Is cents.
The survey may be able to
furnish small fragments of the
commoner ores to a few pros
pectors. But unless they are really
needed they should not be asked
for as only a very small amount of
the material can be spared.

State Geologist.

600 90 day. The pastor showed the
