crop this year, based on an average
production per acre, promises to be
the largest in the history OF the state,
N. E. Shaw, secretary Of agriculture,
states in mis- monthly report. Official
figures for the estimated area seeded
for this years harvest are 1,570,643
acres, and the production expected Is
28,271,5 bushels. On basis of yield
of 20 bushels per acre or more, which
Mr.. Shaw expects, he predicts that
the yield will go to 81, ,412,860 bushels.
This would exceed the ten year aver
age by about 100000 bushels, but
in any event the production will be 20
per cent better than the normal aver
age annual yield, his report says.
Corn has been doing fine the last
two weeks Of warm weather and is re
ported at 92 per cent, compared with
average" 1t is stated. Potatoes viii!
yield 10 per cent above the average.
The area planted is 97,015 acres,
which should produce 9,2l6,425 bush
els. Oats prospects, ~ placed 19 per
cent above the average. Apples and
peaches do not nrom e well.

Senate Adopts Conference Re-
ports on Two Bills.
WILL Be MADE LAWS FRIDAY

Prompt Appointment Of Herbert
Hoover as Food Administrator and
Immediate Operation Under the
Legislation Expected to 'ow.
Drastic Prohibition Features In the
Food Control Act.
Washington, Aug. 9.-The confer
ence report on the food control bill

ture will make the food measure a

ference report were; Democrats

cans, France, Gronna, LaFollette and
Penrose.
Immediately after the final vote on
the control bill the senate, by Vica
voce vote approved the conference
report on the first administration food
bill, providing for food surveyor and
appropriating to stimulate production.
Both bills are to become laws to-
morrow with President Wilson's ap-
proval. Prompt appointment OF Her
bert Hoover as food administrator
and immediate operation under the
legislation is expected to follow.
In addition to its comprehensive
provisions for control OF food, fuel,
fertilizer and farm equipment, the
control bill carries drastic prohibition
features. Thirty days after It is ap-
proved It will be unlawful to use food
gtuffs in the manufacture Of distilled
beverages or to import distilled spir'
its for beverage purposes, and the

Federal Supreme Court to Pass on
lts ConstItutlonality.

Federal Supreme Court to Pass on
lts constItutlonaIity.
Washington, Aug. 7.-Before the
selective service army or any of the
state militia are sent abroad the Unit
er States supreme court is to be ask
ed to pass on the constitutionaIity OF
sending them overseas. II the court
holds such action would be unconsti-
tutional, the draft army would be held
at home and foreign operations would
have to be carried on by the regulars
and by men who volunteered for such
service.
The constitutional test will be made
by cases to be brought in various fed.
eral districts Writs will be sued out
IN the nature Of habeas corpus wrIts
to prevent moving the militia toward
foreign destinations. Appeals from
these cases will be taken by which
ever party loses, and all will be
brought together in hearing before
the United States supreme court,
which will be expedited In every way
possible.
Hannis Taylor, famous constitution
al lawyer, has been engaged to handle
the question Of constitutionality for
those who believe the constitution Ia
in danger Of being violated The gov.
ernment has set its best lawyers to
work to prepare the governments de-
tense.

USES NESWS PACE
BUT FORGETS PAY

No other Ohio State Fair has been
so extensively and thoroughly adver-
tised as this years, which will be held
in Columbus the last five days of
August. Manager E. v. Walborn has
employed practically every effective
means of keeping the people informed
Of the fair and what it will have to
offer. Recognizing it to be the great
est advertising medium, Mr.. Wal
born is using newspaper space as lib
orally as the appropriation will per-
nit.
A unique method of spreading pub
licity has been the sending Of auts-
mobiles to cover cities, villages and
roadways within radius of rs miles
of the capital city. The men in
charge Of the autos have been putting
up posters and distributing various
forms Of advertising.

CHEAPER COAL PREDICTED
Following Enactment Of the Food
Control Measure.

Control Measure.
Washington, Aug. 9.-Sharp reduC-
tion in coal costs wEs predicted bg
the officials here as a result of the
senate's passage of the food control
bill, which carries a provision for gov.
ernment fixing OF fuel prices. The
federal trade commission. which the
measure authorizes the president to
designate as an agency to enforce the
provision, Is ready to make out a
price scale at short notice. For
months the commission has gathered
facts as to production costs, and in =
recent report to congress pointed out
that prices are too high.
Bituminous prices to the general
public were fixed at SO in recent
agreement between producers, men,
bers Of the commission and other gov.
ernment officials. This price was to
hold until a final price was deter
mined on. Investigation has con-
vinced members Of the commission
that this price is too high and that
coal can be sold at a much lower fig
ure and still leave a handsome profit
for the producer.
President Wilson probably will Is
sue an executive order at the time ne
signs the bill, authorizing the com
mission to proceed with price fixing.

CLUB TO AWARD PRIZES.

A committee was appointed yesterday
afternoon al the meeting OF the Ladies
of the Leaf. at the home OF Mrs. j. c,
Thompson, TO select prizes TO be award
ed to two boys. one In the high school
and the other In one of the ward schools
who have built the best bird houses. The
club decided last summer To award the
prizes and the bird houses are now
nearly finished. IL was also decided %
give the books used by the club TO the
Carnegie library as soon as the mem
bers are through with them. rather
than to wait until the end OF the year,
as heretofore. "The Dark Forest" by
Hugh Walpole, which deals with the
Russian situation, will be studied at
the next meeting and then placed In
the library that the public may have
the opportunity OF reading It while II Is
so much talked about. The study OF
the revolution In Russia, which was be-
gun yesterday proved one Of the most
interesting that the club has taken up.
The causes OF the revolution were stud.
led in detail and will be continued at
