ported to the House the food con-
troll proposed that the President
should have authority to extend
to any person or agent employed
in carrying out the purposes of
the act the right to send ccmmu-

Representative Steenerson was
quick to see the abuses which
would surely appear under such
legislation, and after a forceful
presentation of the matter in
duced his colleagues to strike out
the obnoxious paragraph,
The success of the food con-
troll Legislation will depend en-
tirely on the wise and efficient
manner in which it is admins
tered, and Congressman Robert
M. Switzer of Ohio is of opinion
that the man who wields the
power given by the bill will have
to exercise great care in bring
ing down prices for the consum-
er in order that he may not do
great harm to the producer. Mr..
Switzer recognizes the fact that
the bill will place in the hands of
the President far greater power
than would be proper in times Of
peace. but realizes that we have
got to depend upon him for a
wise and efficient administrator
of the law. Representative Swift
zer has given his vote for all
measures at this session Of Con-
gress which he has thought would
work to the best interests Of the
country if wisely executed, and
supported the food bill for the
same reason.

Stumbled on Inventions.

Did you know that some of our greatest inventions have been discov- ared by men who started in other lines? We'll, it is true, and it leads one to believe that you don't have to be an inventor 10 invent. Ii is said that the majority of great inventions in America are due to men who stum- bled on to Improvements in their work. Among many instances which might be selected. three will be sufficient to prove the truth of this statement. Thomas A. Edison. who has taken out more than 800 patents. started work at twelve years of age as newSboy on the Grand Trunk railroad Then, for more than ten years he was a telegraph operator. It was not until he was th.rty-seven years old that he took out his first patent A printers apprentice at the age of twelve, it was not until he was forty-tive years old that Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity. And the inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, was a Scotchman, who came to America in 1870 as a teacher of deaf mutes, and then became professor In the Univer- sity of Boston.

Kie Mclaughlin Indicted for

The grand jury brought in an indictment for the killing of Allen Nixon and Sheriff Mcllroy and Deputies Lesley and Brand enburg went out to McLaugh- lin's home yesterday evening and brought him to town. He was kept at the Bristow hotel last night and lodged in jail to- day. It was not generally known that the grand jury was investi- gating this case and the arrest of Mclaughlin came as a surprise.
 He has married since he was discharged when the grand jury failed to indict last year and was living on his farm north of Ozark.

Report of Grand Jury.

To Hon, James Cochran. Circuit Judge:
 We. the grand jury of the Feb ruary term of the circuit court for Franklin county, Ark. beg leave to report as follows:
 We have been in session for nine days, have examined 1l2 witnesses at cost of $10O. 50 to the county, and have returned N true bills of indictment.
 Our examination of the reports of some of the justices of the peace leads us to believe that in many instances the ends of jus tice are not met and that vio- lators of the law are allowed to plead guilty to less degree of crime than that which they have committed. We believe that an open letter from the Honorable Court to this effect might prove of benefit.
 Out of the justices of the county only 31 reported to us, and we find these reports to be apparently correct.
 We have examined the jail and have conversed with the prison CTS confined therein and report that the jail is in first-class con- dition, uncommonly we'll kept, and the prisoners well and album. dantly fed and comfortably pro- vided for. The interior of the jail is cleanly and in a sanitary condition.
 We wish to thank all the off. cers of the court for their kind ana courteous treatment COWarO us and for their advice, counsel aud assistance.
 We recommend that a dicta- phone be bought for the use of Franklin county and believe that it's use would serve the ends of justice.
 Having done what we thought best for the county's good and having no further business of immediate importance we ask to be discharged.
 l.. M. GUTHRIE,
 Foreman.
