ORDERS FOOD
BILL PASSED
PRESIDENT WANTS POWER TO
REGULATE FOOD PRICES
GIVEN HIM AT ONCE.

Washington, June President
Wilson yesterday served notice on
Congress that action must be taken
at once on the Lever food bills, which
will give him power to regulate food
prices
The president considers the food
bills the most important legislation
now pending and has decided that
if necessary, ne will 90 before Con
gress and demand the passage Of the
bills at once. He considers il Of
prime Importance that they be made
law before July |, as the harvesting
season already is beginning in SOM
sections and with two weeks more
leeway the speculator win have time
to buy up foodstuffs and put price.
at exorbitant figures.
The presidents determination to
push the food bills through became
',nown today after a conference with
Senator Martin, majority leader. The
president has talked with both Re
publican and Democratic leader
within the last few days, but has no
obtained the results he had hoped
for.
There has been strong opposition
in both House and Senate to some
features Of the Lever bills, one o
which aims to increase production
the other to give President Wilson
through Herbert G. Hoover, whom hi
designated as Fi administrator
power to regulate prices.

SUCCEEDS w. v. fRiERSON
As HEAD OF PUBLIC
SCHOOL SYSTEM.
COMES FROM AMORY
Has For Several Years Reen
Superintendent Of Schools
in That Town.

Prof. J. G. Meadows. OF Amory.
Miss, has been named superinten-
dent Of the local public schools to
succeed Prof. W. v. f'rierson, who
has held the position for a number
Of years, but who, following dis
agreement with the board of trustees
several weeks ago rendered his resig-
nation.
Prof. Meadows has for several
years past been superintendent Of
the public schools at Amory, and
his work there has been very sue.
cessful, new building costing $45,-
900 having been erected during his
incumbency.
The work of Prof. Meadows at the
Amory school has been signally sue
cessful. The attendance has steadily
grown since he took charge of the
school, being now in the neighbor-
hood of 700, which is considered far
above the average for town larger
than Amory, while the structure
erected during his encumbency is
also credit to the town. 1t is mod
ern in every respect and has attract
ed widespread attention, having been
described and favorably commented
on by several influential educatioal
publications.
Prof. Meadows is graduate of
denominational college in Tennessee
and has since been student at the
summer school of the University of
Chicago. He is candidate for the
Ph.D. degree at that institution, and
expected to complete the course this
summer, but the fact that his accep-
tance of the local position will make
it impossible for him to go to Chi
cago will naturally interfere with his
plans in this direction. He is a mar
ried man, and his family will move
to Columbus at an early date.
The new high school which is now
in course of construction here will be
completed some time during the COM
ing winter, and it will be up to Prof.
Meadows to organize the faculty and
get the institution in running order
This is an exceedingly delicate task
and will afford him an opportunity
to demonstrate what ever executive
ability he may possess.
Prof. Meadows was in the city Fri
day, and while here was introduced
to quite number of business men
and school patrons by Mr.. Warren
NJ. Cox, member of the local board
of school trustees.

DESPONDENT LADY
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
GRIEF FOR HUSBAND PROMPTS
MRS. LAWRENCE TO SWAL-
LOW LETHAL DOSE.

Mrs. Matte Lawrence, widow Of
The late George Lawrence, who was
SHOT and killed by q negro at his
home in the MeBee neighborhood
several weeks ago, swallowed dose
of carbolic acid in her apartment at
the Stone Hotel yesterday afternoon,
and is now in a precarious condition
at the Mckinley Sanatorium.
Accompanied by her brother-in-
Jaw, Mr., Neil Lawrence, Mrs. Law
renee motored to Columbus yester-
day morning, and registered at the
Stone Hotel. Soon after their ar
r,val Mr.. Lawrence visited a local
cafe, and ordered dinner sent to his
sister-in-law. The meal, after hav-
ing reached the hotel, was carried by
a negro maid up TO the room occu-
pieo by Mrs. Lawrence, who asked
Why her brother-in-law had not re-
turned and asked the maid to fetch
him. The negress went to comply
with the request, and it was during
her absence that Mrs. Lawrence
drank the carbolic acid.
When Mr.. Lawrence and the ne
eress reached Mrs. Lawrence's room
they found her writhing in pain
brought on by the lethal dose. DR..
J. W. Cox and DR.. r. H. Henry were
hastily summoned and the unfortu-
nate lady was taken to the McKin-
las Sanatorium, where atidotes
we're administered.
Grief resulting from the death of
her husband is supposed to have
been responsible for her rash act

OF course you wouldn't. And yet III

Why DO they do IT..
Let me tell you the experience OF q

has cost her rather more than she plan
ned twas there ever q house which

to correct any mistakes she may make.
Everyone knows this and yet this is
her experience.
Yst Most People Like Aluminium
She was showing me the cottage MY
dear" she said, III you know Of any
glaring mistakes I've made please don't
tell me about them. TIL know 1t soon
enough and II seems as II people did
nothing else but tell mo I'd bought the
wrong thing.
Now there's my aluminium" she held
I'D q shining new kettle. II was so
proud OF It and this minute Mrs. G. saw
1t she said. "Oh. I wouldn't have al
umnium in my kitchen. 1t Is so hard
to keep clean. And then It gets SO hot
that you're always burning your fingers
on It.
(And yet there are innumerable nice
things one can say OF alumnium)
And there's my sink" she pointed
to O white enamel sink. II though

she said. oh dear. what did you get
that kind for?. 7 had one once and It
was no good at all. I suppose she

But It was three women. And three

Let's try and think.
