AIMS TO REDUCE CONSUMPTION
Canada's Food Controller After
Wheat Raaf and Rannn

Canada is to make an effort to reduce
her consumption of wheat, beef and
bacon by one-third. according to infor-
nation received today from W. J. Ham
ma. food controller of the Dominion.
1.-The consumption of -four in England
and France is being reduced to between
three and four pounds per person per
week. Canada and the United States
must reduce their normal consumption
of wheat by l60.o00.000 bushels this
year to meet the added requirements
FOR export. Russia has been enduring
four meatless days a week. Households
in England are under voluntary otIiga-
tfons to limit their consumption of
meat to two and half pounds per per-
son per week"
1t Is regarded as significant that Mr..
on avoidance of waste by measures
aimed at hotels and restaurants. believ-
; ing that homes already have begun
cutnntx down their consumption.

Would Speedily Settle Question.

A warning was issued by this same
authority of the necessity of speedily
settling the question. 1t was pointed
out that the season in which supplies
for the winter are laid in is rapidly
passing. Soon the necessitous demand
for coal and the unfavorable weather
conditions for moving it will work to
higher prices. This inevitable even
tuality Is viewed by coal operators and
large dealers with equanimity, 1t is de-
clared. as it will in the end make for
larger profits.
Gov. Goodrich told the committee
when asked by Chairman Newlands for
lation that there should be some central
governmental authority clothed with
the power to fix the price at the mines
and follow 1t clear through to the con-
sumers.
He said that a commission in his state
is now drafting such a bill, with the
idea Of presenting it to the legislature
in special session to be called, but that
the undertaking is hating. pending
government.
Gov. Goodrich told the committee that
prices of coal had advanced in In
diana since the Peabody committee an
nounced the voluntary agreement upon
So ton. Indiana lump coal is now sell
ing to the ultimate consumer at SIS to
81 ton, the normal price of which
has been 1925 to 1915. He quoted from
recent inquiries made by the Indiana
Manufacturers Association among its
members showing that coal which sold
1T $3.50 to $2.75 in May and early June
has advanced Is and SO cents a ton
since June 2s, the date of the volun-
tary agreement Of the coal committee
with the operators.

SOFT COAL PRICE
AGREEMENT SCORED
Gov. Goodrich of Indiana Tells
Senators Cost Jumped on
Making of Pact.
BUYERS AWAIT ACTION

Regulation OF coal prices to prevent
extortionate charges upon the con-
sumner continues to be a question of
prime Importance In Congress. in the
council Of national defense and the
federal trade commission, with the
White House keeping an alert eye upon
the outcome.
The recent voluntary agreement of
soft-coal operators with the coal COM
mittes of the council of national de-
Tense on a price of SO a ton. which was
promptly repudiated by Secretary Dam
iels and Secretary Baker as being ex-
cessive, Is receiving further lambasting
by consumers of coal in large quanti-
ties.
Gov. Goodrich of Indiana, before the
Senate committee on interstate COM
merce, this morning knocked a few
more Stats out of public approval in
his state of that agreement by show
ing that it was higher than current
prices at the time it was made, and
that coal operators Immediately adj
vanced prices.
Inquiry today In high official quarters
by a reporter for The Star developed
the statement that apparently but little
purchasing is being done beyond the
necessities of the hour, buyers SEEM
ingly waiting until the government de-
cides upon a price which will influence
the cost to the consumer, even If Con-
gresS does not fix maximum prices.

Thought q. s. Ordered Prices.

Chairman Newlands called his atten-
ton to the fact that the government
has not authorized through any of it's
agencies price on coal. and the gov
ernor replied that the impression has
been allowed to get abroad by the
operators that 1T had.
This week will bring some kind of
. SHOW down" in Congress, 1t is said,
on the question of governmental reg
ulation Of prices Members Of the com
mittee are thoroughly posted upon the
details Of the trade and have a vast
fund Of Information for the Senate.
The question will come to a head in
the consideration of the food control
bill and 1t is predicted that drastic
action will be taken toward prevention
Of extortionate prices being permitted
Whether the administrators of the food
control bill or some other agency of
the government will deal with the
prices IN yet to be determined
There is considerable sentiment in
favor OF vesting the power in the
federal trade commission and this plan

executive branches of the government

BANKERS URGED TO
FINANCE FARMERS
STATE EXAMINER HANSON PRO.
POSES THEY HELP FOOD PRO-
DUCTION CAMPAIGN.

Special appeal to the bankers of
the state, and indirectly the business
and professional men generally, was
issued by w. E. Hanson, state bank
examiner Thursday at the sugges-
ton of Governor Lister, urging them
to cooperate in the agricultural pre-
paredness campaign by cooperative
ly financing the purchase of seed by
farmers.
Examiner Hanson sent personal
letter to the president or cashier OF
each state bank, calling their atten.
ton to the fact that. while the peo-
pie generally are ready and willing
to respond to the appeal for greater
food production, many lack money
with which to make beginning and
have no place to obtain credit.
Mr.. Hanson states that the bust
ness and professional men will "un-
questionably join with the bankers
In rendering assistance in this
emergency, and suggests That they
comparatively guarantee loans to
farmers for this purpose.
"As banker you can render
greater assistance along this line
than is possible on the part of any
citizen" he says. LET me urge you
to put forth every effort to bring
about the greatest possible crop pro-
duction this year."
Mr.. Hanson has also written w
H. Martin of Ritzville, secretary OF
the State Bankers association, urg-
ing him to send out a special circu-
lar to the member banks, advocating
this sort of cooperation on their
part in the general food production
campaign.

TO HANDLE BUICK
DODGE BROTHERS DEALERS AC-
QUIRE AGENCY FOR VALVE
IN.THE.HEAD SIN.

An announcement of interest to
automobile fans generally, and par
ticularly to owners and prospective
purchasers of Buick Valve-in-the-
Head Six cars, was made by the

the Buick line it has obtained
the logical six-cylinder car to offer in
connection with the Dodge Brothers
four-cylinder model, which it has
handled In this territory since it was
put on the market two years ago.
The company extends assurance to
Buick owners and those who pur.
chase that make of car in the future
that it will give them the same care
full attention and service which has
made the company so successful in
handling Dodge Brothers. cars in this
territory. And as proof that salts
factory service has been feature OF
their business policy they cite the
fact they have retained the garage
business of each one of the "a own
ers of Dodge Brothers cars in this
county.
1.-THE Buick is a good car, made by
a good concern that wants Buick
owners to receive good service, and
that is what we propose to give
them" c.. A. Rose, senior member OF
the firm, said in discussing the acqui.
sition of the agency by his company
I'VE feel particularly Fortunate in
obtaining the Buick agency and we
plan to give the same painstaking at.
tention to 1t as we have to the
