THE FOOD CONTROL BILL

The Food Control Bill as passed by
the Senate, though far from perfect
is a much better measure than when
originally drafted by the Federal De-
partment of Agriculture.
The bill has been widely heralded
as a measure TO prevent gambling in
foodstuffs. Newspaper discussion of
its passage has been insisted upon as
absolutely necessary to prevent un-
due high prices for foods brought
about by speculation. Mr.. Hoover
has been deified by the court circulars
as the one man who could at the same
time increase the price which the
producer would receive and lower the
price TO be paid by the consumer. In
a democratic country he was to be
autocrat of food.
The purpose of the bill, however,
is much different than that thus wide
ly advertised. The discussion in the
Senate was of an important and help
full character. The amendments adopt
ed provide, among other things, for a
government guarantee of two dollars
a bushel as a minimum for wheat, au-
thorized the fixing of wartime prices |
on coal and coke and oil, include nj /
trates in the commodities to be con-
trOlled, create a food commission
board of three members to be ap-
pointed by the President and con-
firmed by the Senate. create a joint
committee of Congress on expendi-
lures during the war, make more
specific the licensing section and
eliminate beer and wine from the
House provision which prohibited the
manufacture Of these beverages as
well as of whisky.
As passed, however, the bill singles
out the farmers business for regula- I
tiOn and leaves practically everyone
else except the coal and oil men ]
without government regulation In
this respect the bill does not meet the
necessities of the situation, though it I
does meet the approval of the Big
Business interests, whose rapacious l
agents crowd the lobbies of Wash
ington. The measure, with the Sen
ate amendment, goes back to the l
House and then into conference, out
Of which conference a revised bill 1
will come. This revised bill is ex-
pected to pass Congress within a
week. I

WILL PROVIDE WHOLESOME
RECREATION FOR SOLDIERS

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. o.-Forty- six
thousand dollars will be raised in At
lanta this week to pay part OF the
cost of providing wholesome rccreat-
ION and entertainment for the soldiers
in training at Camp Gordon
For every dollar the people OF At
lanta contribute, the government will
put in two dollars taken from a fund
which is being raised throughout the
country, and these three dollars will
buy amusement for one soldier cover
ing period Of one year.
Atlanta is favored with the location
Of cantonment where more than
10000 soldiers of the National Army
will be trained. They are spending
their money here by the thousands.
Now Atlanta is asked to give back A
small proportion of that money TO
amuse and entertain the soldiers
while they train.
The fund is conducted under. the
auspices of the National Commission
on Training Camp Activities, and is
being raised throughout the country.

RAISING MORE CORN

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 6.-Georgia has
raised more corn this year than ever
before in its history, according to all
the data available, while the state of
Texas, erstwhile granary of the great
southwest, has not raised enough to
supply her demand, and is in the
market to buy corn of Georgia.
For Georgia to sell to Texas, which
would make it necessary to rcplenish
our supply by going into markets in
the middle west, would be unwise
economic policy, in the view of the
market bureau of the state depart
ment of agriculture, headed by Lem
B. Jackson, and for that reason he
has not encouraged the Texas buy
ers to come into this state.
Recently the Dewitt County Farm
ers Union, at Yorktown, Texas, tele-
graphed to Manager Jackson, stating
that the MEMBERS Of the union were
in the market to buy $4,000 bushels
of corn in the shuck. He replied
that the state market bureau believes
the farmers of this state should hold
all their corn for local consumption.

BUSINESS MEN COMPLAIN
OF DELAY OF u. S. MAILS

Atlanta, Ga, Nov 6.-Why is the
mail delayed? Business men in Allan
ia and other cities are complaining
to know the answer, and an investi-
cation has been made here to find it
out, with interesting results.
1t has been discovered that the rail-
roads are called on to preform a
greater transportation service than is
possible 20 perform with existing
equipment, which is part of the cause
Of delay. 1t has been found that mail
is delayed in the terminal station in
Atlanta because of the shortage Of
negroes to truck it from the cars to
the terminal distributing Office, where
expert mail clerks work day and
night And also it has been found
that much Of the mail which was
formerly distributed by railway mail
clerks in their cars while speeding
along on fast trains is now distributed
in terminal Offices, owing to the fact
that the government is now paying
railroads on the space basis for haul
ing mail, instead of paying them on
the weight basis.
Mail cars used to be lightly loaded.
Now, when the government pays for
space, it loads them to capacity. The
railroads claim their revenue for haul
inc has decreased, and the speed Of
mail service is reduced

Organization in Georgia

'ln regard to the organization now
being formed to work in compliance
the act of Congress: When completed
the fuel administration will be rep
resented in every county in Georgia
by committee; there will be in cit
les of over $500 population a city
committeeman. 1t will be the duty
OF these committeeman, acting III
conjunction, to see that the law reg
ulating and controlling the price and
conservation of coal is carried out
ANY question that might arise
concerning prices or distribution OF
coal in any community should be
taken up with the county chairman
or the city committeeman, who will
investigate the merits of the case and
communicate with this department.
In bringing questions and COM
plants before county chairmen or
city committeeman, it should be re-
membered that these gentlemen are
serving without pay or hope Of pc
cuniary gain The work being done by
them as we'll as the work carried on
by the state fuel administrator is
purely patriotic service. The pub
lie should therefore exhaust their
every resource and use every effort
to adjust their matters before resort
ing to the aid of county chairmen or
city committeeman. These gentle
men are all business men who, fully
realizing the Importance Of action in
order that factories, railroads and
public utility plants might be kept
running and households kept warm,
have offered their time as a patriotic
service in the furtherance Of our com
kmon cause. Consumers should, there
fore, order coal through the agencies
as they have always done and exer-
else their every resource for obtain
ing supply, and the adjustment OF
prices before burdening local com
mitteemen with complaints But
when it becomes necessary to make
cor paints, then let thenf be made in

HARDMAN WORKING
ON 1000 PROBLEM
Especial to Leadcr-Enterprise.)

Commerce, VA Nov, 5--Dr. L. G.
Elardman. tuei administrator for the
state OF Georgia, has issued the fol-
lowing pubic statement for the in
formation AMI benefit of coal dealers
| and consumes.
For the Information and instruct
ion of consumers and dealers in coal,
and in answer to the many questions
and inquiries regarding the fuel stu
atlor, wish to say that the machine
ry for putting into operation the re-
cent at OF Congress regulating and
controlling the distribution of coal,
is being organized as rapidly as pos
sibic
1T is my intention to effectively
and efficiently administer and enforce
the law i'll Georgia, exercising every
agency within my power for the re-
lief of emergency needs with the
greatest dispatch possible.
Time and Patience Needed.
The task for working out perfect
system for regulating the price and
controlling the distribution of coal to
meet local requirements is tremen-
dous undertaking and will require
time and patience if satisfactory re-
suits are to be obtained. To this end
the department seeks the earnest CO.
operation OF all concerned Special
agents representing the department
i washington are now in Georgia
aiding in perfecting the system.
"The conditions entering into and
which have resulted in the present
critical situation are numerous. The
most important, perhaps, is the enor-
nous increase in demand as compar-
ed with production. The Federal
Trade Commission has estimated
that the increased consumption is
fully 20 per cent. The increased
consumption of coal by railroads, due
to the enormous demands for trans
portation service, is about 80 per cent
or an increase of about 100000
tons. The railroads in normal times
take IS per cent OF the coal produced
each year. The cotton mills in Geor-
gia, the Carolinas and in New Eng
land have increased their output far
above normal, running day and night,
necessarily increasing their consump-
ton of coal. The great expansion of
industrial activity in steel, indicated
by an increased production in 1916
over 1915 of 100000 tons, accounts
for an increased demand for 100000
900 tons of bituminous coal New

creased output of old plants has TAX

ditions, is consuming the total pro-
duction of two moderate sized mines.
| mention these instances of increas-
ed consumption in order that l might
more fOrcibly stress the importance
of economy on the part OF consumers.
In small towns where available, wood
should be used as extensively as pos
sible until the present situation has
been relieved.

New ProjsctiIe Has Scissors Attach
ment-Another Releases Short
Chains When 1t ExpIodes.

There seems no limit to what the
new shells can do. One Of the latest
shells has a sort of scissors attach
ment which, when released by the ex-
plosion, will cut through the strongest
wire entanglements. Another re.
leases a number of short chains when
1t explodes. These chains are sure to
wreck anything they touch, says Popui
lar Science Monthly.
The scissors shell has an opening in
the casing through which the cutting
arms project. They are slightly re.
cessed in order to avoid wind resis,
lance. The arms are attached neal
the nose Of the projectile. They are
mounted on steel studs in such man,
ner that they can rock and expand In
order to throw the free ends outward
at the base Of the shell.
The fuse is made in the ordinary
way, and behind it is chamber for
the explosive charge. The projectile is
fired just as any shell is fred. Tho
explosion releases the cutting arms
and they cut through any object with
devastating force.
The chain shell is considered SINH.
arly, except that the short chains are
wound around the game and sepa'
rated by disks which keep them in
place until the projectile is emptied.
Sometimes the chains are weighed
heavily at the ends. When the ex.
plosion takes place the chains fly out
with fearful force, and in addition to
their high-speed forward movement
they rotate rapidly. Needless to say,
where they hit something, there is
nothing left.
