BATTERY DRAWS FROM FAR
Boys From Clinton, Iowa, Enlist in Gin
cinnati's Artillery Unit-CoIIege
Men Also Join.

Cincinnati, O.-Oficers of Battery E,
Third Ohio Artillery, were surprised
recently by the application of two
young men from Clinton, Iowa, to join
that crack unit. This battery is being
recruited to war strength. This is a
very select service and appeals large
ly to college bred men and men who
have had out-of-doors experience.
By reason of the fact that on the
border every member of this battery
qualified as a sharpshooter and of the
very high grade demanded of all re-
cruits the young men from out of town
in the territory surrounding Cincinnati
are being especially attracted to this
branch of the service and are enlist
ing.

In time of food shortage, when conservation of food stuffs is an important public question, the more than six and one half billion pounds of food materials which are used in these industries, form an item which is worth consider ing"
 According to three professors who reviewed these tatistics-Walter B. Cannon and Percy G.

 These considerations undoubtedly have had an important influence in determining the trend of legislation at Washington.

THE TARIFF AND TAXATION

The government is lying awake O nights trying to evolve some new scheme of taxation to meet the extra ordinary expenses of keeping the home machinery oiled and conduct ing a gigantic foreign war. Bonds are being issued by the billions and enor- nous taxes are being saddled upon the people. We are given the com forting assurance, indeed, that the bonding and taxing has merely be- gun.
 Meanwhile more than two-thirds of American imports are coming in duty free. The government has just officially issued statement which shows that for the month of May the percentage of imports from which the treasury received not cent was Fl, while for the entire year ending last month 69.3 per cent of our imports were accepted without duty. It is pointed out that imports for May, which totaled $2S1, 100000, reached the highest total of any month in the history of American commerce.
 We do not believe that it will be contended that the average citizen has derived any substantial benefit from the removal of the tariff on those imports, and certainly there is no indication of it in prices charged for commodities. It is quite evident, how ever, that if a reasonable duty had been applied, the government would have derived considerable revenue and no doubt there would have been re- f1ection of the charge in the industries of the nation.
 These are trying times, not only spiritually and physically, but also financially, and the government should not permit party doctrines to interfere with the veal of the nation.

so MANY people are coming and going to and from Valdez during the past few weeks that the success of the Richardson Highway as a trade getter for our merchants is assured. Many people who own cars in the in- terior travel over the really excellent roads to this city in preference to paying a high rate of fare to other towns, giving our merchants their trade and otherwise benefiting the city in many ways. And the number is constantly increasing. Tourists also are writing about the road and the possibilities of reaching the interior with their machines. By this time next year with the publicity the road is receiving from those who go over it once, it is expected that a large number of machines will take advan- tage of the trail and make the trip through the grandest scenery in America.

FOOD AND BOOZE

Sentiment in the lower house of congress is overwhelmingly in favor of putting the lid on" during the war, and the probability is that with in the next week or two the United States will be practically in the dry column. By a vote of 365 to 5 the house on Saturday passed the provi- sion of the food bill which prohibits the use of food stuffs for the manu- facture of alcoholic beverages, except for governmental, scientific, medicinal and sacramental purposes.
 Unquestionably the majority of the congressman were inspired to a large extent by the experience of the other great powers at war in regard to the liquor question, and also by the fact that in order to feed the allies and win the war this country must husband it's food stuffs to the last de- gree There is some opposition in con- gress, however, to the stoppage of the manufacture of malt liquors.
 According to the war prohibition committee, of Boston, during the year ending June 30, 1916, brewers of the United States used 3,556, 6,1O3,- 596 pounds of food stuffs, while the distillers used 8, 777,609, 74S pounds. It is pointed out, however, that in the case of distilled spirit, quantity equal to about 50 per cent of the years output was for denatured, gov ernment and scientific purposes, or for export as alcohol. It is argued that the showing of the brewers, from the standpoint of war economy was made made still worse by the fact that ST. 451, 610 pounds of hops were used; for, while hops are not useful as food, on the basis of the last census acre. age the land used for hops if planted in potatoes would have produced A. O0O,0O0 bushels.
 Four professors of economics in Harvard-T. N. Carver, Edmund E.. Day, William z. Ripley and Edwin F. Gay-and Irving Fisher, professor of political economy at Yale, quote gov ernment statistics which show that during the yearending, in June 1916. the following food stuffs were used in the making of distilled spirits:
 Corn, 32, O69, 542 bushels; rye, 8, 116, 612; malt, 4,48O, 5SS; wheat 3,373; barley, 14S; oats, 9,S07; oth- CT materials, 6S,S22, and molasses, 152, 142, 232 gallons. Omitting oats, wheat and barley and "other mater ials," and reducing corn, rye, malt and molasses to pounds. the total is 8, eos, 911, 916 pounds of grain and molasses.
