EXrORTlCNISTS.

Dealers in foodstuffs in New York city
have made more money in the last few
months than ever before, according to a
statement issued recently by Joseph Har-
tigan, city commissioner of weights and
measures.
"While foods have been kept in album
dance in storehouses and while prices
have been advancing by leaps and
bound" the statement asserted, "no
thought has been given to the consumer.
The dealers have said: Here is our gold
en- opportunity and they have seized it. -
Reports made to him by inspectors of
his department, the commissioner said,
showed that the food jobbers and brokers
resented Government interference with
speculation.
The public, through the press, has
made it's condemnation of the food pirates
so emphatic, that it has been heard in

CAPTURES COYOTE WITH DODGE
BROTHERS CAR.

Capturing wild coyotes with motor cars
is sport not everyone is privileged to en-
Joy. More exciting even than the stories
of the recent shark hunting on the eastern
coast is the account of Edward Spears
"chase of the wolf" on the plains of the
McCord ranch, near Fresno, Cal. Mr..
Spear is a member of the firm of Spear
Brothers, Dodge Brothers dealers in Coal
inga, Cal The Coalinga Record desert
bes it as ''the fastest % minutes of fun in
the 80 years of his life."
Spear had two passengers with him in
his Dodge Brothers roadster, when he
came upon the coyote, according to the
Record, but the chase soon became so
furiously fast that they persuaded him to
pause until they got out. Spear resumed
the chase alone. The Record says:
GAS the car drew near, Mr.. Coyote
took single look and was off like the
wind, but Spear kept right after him.
Finally the coyote, half frightened to
death by Spears yelling, began to slacken
his speed and resorted to lodging, in an
effort to get away. AS he would dodge,
so would the car, and after series of
lodges and dives, Spear finally caught
him with front wheel and put the pre-
datory varmit out of the running Spear
was compelled to run over the animal
four times before he could kill him.

ONE-HALF CUP OF MILK.

Half a cup of milk-whole, SKINNED,
or sour-a seemingly trifling matter
hardly worth the trouble to keep or use.
In many households quite little milk
is wasted-left uncovered in glasses-re-
garded as useless because the cream has
been SKINNED off-allowed to sour-pour-
ed down the sink or thrown out.
Now, if every home-there are 20, 900, =
600 of them-should waste on the average
one-half cup daily, it would mean a waste
of 100000 quarts daily -912, 500, 600
quarts year-the total product of more
than 400, 1000 cows.
1t takes a lot of grass and grain to
make that much milk-and an army of
people to produce and deliver it.
But, every household doesn't waste a
half cup of milk a day2 Well, say that
one-half cup is wasted in only one out of
a hundred homes. Still intolerable -
when milk is so nutritious skim
milk can be used in making nutritious
soups and cereal dishes-when sour milk
can be used in bread making or for cot
tage cheese.
The United States Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. c., or your State
agricultural college, will tell you how to
use leftover milk-sweet, skinned or
sour.

ALAS! HE IS NO BUSINESS MAN!
From the New York World. Dem.1

From the New York World Dem.1
Such opposition to the appointment of
Herbert c. Hoover as Food Controller, as
has developed in the United States Senate,
is based on the plea that he is not bust
ness man, which, alas! is true. By pro-
fession he is a mining engineer, AID he
knows so little about business that, being
in Europe when the desperate condition
of Belgium was revealed, he abandoned
his profession and voluntarily organized
the greatest and the most efficient relief
work ever known in human history.
Mr. Hoover disbursed tens of millions
of dollars, fed millions of people, allayed
the suspicious of conqueror and conquer
ed, and was so successful in all respects
that when Germany, the super efficient,
was compelled to put the empire on ra-
tons, it went to him for advice and in
struction. If, like most members of the
Senate, he had only been politician or a
lawyer, there is no telling what prodigies
of merchandising and distribution he
might have accomplished.
Coming with no better record than this
before the experienced captains of indus
try who dominate the Senate, what can
such man expect? Ee has no backing
but his record, no standing anywhere ex-
cept as he is acclaimed by humanity, and,
of course, no business credentials that
would get him past the doorkeeper of
caucus or convention. knowledge of all
this at the right time might have made
the starving population of Belgium and
Northern France choose death in prefer
ence to relief at the hands of one so poor
ly equipped for business, as the Senate
understands business.
The above is a deserved rebuke to the
obstructionists in the Senate. 1t also
shows the fitness of Mr.. Hoover, who is
said to be slated for the head of the food
administration bureau.

BELFAST MAN WINS FIRST PROMO.
TON IN NAVY.

Friends of John H. Canning whose
relatives reside in this city, will be pleased
to learn that he has successfully COM
pleted period of training at the Naval
Training Station, Newport, r. l., and has
won his first promotion. Young Canning
is very enthusiastic about the Navy and
is making good in every regard. He is
particularly interested in the daily phySi-
cal exercises he is required to 60 through.
He writes that the training station is now
taxed to it's full capacity, having practi-
cally twice as many men under training
now as was the case during peace times
and that owing to the large number who
have been given preliminary training, the
drills and exercises are carried on with a
great deal of vigor and zest. Everything
is running like clock work and training
station life is satisfactory.
Shortly he will be assigned to one of
the battleships, destroyers or submarines
of the U. S. Navy, and in view of the
keen interest in these ships which are to
play such an important part in the max
ing of Our Country's future history, this
paper has made arrangements with the
u. S. Navy Publicity Bureau, New York,
whereby it can keep in touch with young
men from this locality who are serving
their country in this branch of the Mill
tary Service. Special endeavor will be
taken to follow up these young men
throughout this worldwide conflict and
we will be pleased to inform the friends
and relatives of these young patriots re-
garding any incidents of note which may
occur from time to time.

Mr. Claude Kitchen is the Democratic
leader in the House of Representatives
and is also chairman of the ways and
means committee. During the last Con-
gress a tax measure was passed which
levied most of the tax on the North.
Appropriations were literally made for
spending an unfair percentage of the
money on the highways and for improv-
ing waterways in the South. Some of
these appropriations for rivers and har-
bors were as absurd as Mr. McGillicuddy's
scheme for a canal from Merrymeeting
Bay to Lewiston. The new war tax bill
is planned on the same lines. It was ap-

1t is cheering to find at least one posi-

with an increase sufficient to meet the
tremendous new problems of the army,
means that expert advice is becoming
more valuable in the War Department.

FOOD CONTROL.

The first of the food control measures
was passed by the House May 28th. At
this writing the Senate is haggling over a
similar bill Some days and perhaps
weeks will elapse before bill is agreed
on and signed by the President, but some
of the features of the House bill may as
well be discussed now as later. This bill
appropriates S14, 700 for an immedi-
ate investigation of the countrys food re-
sources and for measures to stimulate
production" Secretary of Agriculture
Houston said that when the bill became
law the department would start its
1900 employees and 10000 voluntary
crop reporters to work on the investiga-
ton. The bill provides 81, 522, 900 for
general survey That means that 167, 900
people are to be employed in 'investiga-
ton" and that So, $3.50 is set apart to
pay the bills. If the investigation strikes
deep enough and report which people
can understand is made public it may be
worth the money it is likely to cost Much
opposition to the bill was made in the
House and it is limited that the reason for
This was that the bill gave power to 60

who is holding up food products Cold
storage holdings need investigation of the
most thorough sort and there should be
fDitiless publicity" regarding them. Five
million, seven hundred and seventy-eight
thousand dollars of the total appropria-
ton was set apart for seed. If the plan
is to sell seeds to the farmers at price
somewhat below their cost in open market
the farmer will be helped III a practical
way, provided the seed is good and is
adapted to the soil and the climate where
the farmer lives. But if seeds are to be
furnished as has been done heretofore, the
money may as well be wasted in some
other way.
There is 81, 348, 400 set apart for 'Seduca-
ton, for increasing production by waste
elimination and conservation" We fail
to see how waste of flour, or conservation
of flour, can increase the amount of wheat.

how that can be done the appropriation

that when he makes suggestions based on
his conclusions, they will be both practi-
cal and helpful. Let the investigation be
