CONGRESS HAS A
HARD WEEK AHEAD
Calendar of Lower Branch and the
Senate Filled With Important
Legislation.

Washington, May 13.-Congress be-
gins the sixth week Of war tomorrow
with the calendars Of both houses still
ministration feels is essential to the
successful conduct Of the war with
Germany.
The senate after two weeks debate
is expected to pass the espionage bill
tomorrow.
The house probably will conclude
discussion Of the $1,8o0, 100000 war
revenue bill early In the week and
send It to the senate, where two
days Of committee hearings have in
dicated that many changes are to be
made In its structure.
Te espionage bill has been strip
ped Of the press censorship section
and the injection Of an amendment
last night prohibiting the use Of
cereals or grains ir: the manufacture
Of intoxicants during the war, al.
though bitter pill to the foes OF
prohibition, probably will not greatly
delay ultimate passage Of the entire
measure.
Plans of leaders in the senate. are
not clear as to what measure shall
be taken up after the espionage bill
but it is probable 1t will be the food
control bill.
Conferees on the war army bill
called to meet again tomorrow be-
cause the house after once rejecting
the socalled Roosevelt amendment,
now wants to put it in, are not ex-
pected to take long at heir task.
Since the Roosevelt amendment origi-
mated in the senate body, it is possi-
BILE that the army measure can be
disposed of early In the week and
esnt to the president.
In the house an effort may be
made to put food control legislation
through after the war revenue bill.
It is almost certain that measure
will be passed giving the department
of agriculture money and authority to
make a food survey Of the country
and to curb speculation in food pro.
ducts.

Sounds Warning.
In this connection, Congressman j.
Y. Sanders writes the editor of the
Chief as~follows:
II cannot too strongly urge the I'M
portance of impressing upon our peo-
pie the necessity of raising food
crops this year. Food of all kind is
high now, and unless all indications
are at fault, will go much higher in
the near future.
Every available acre should be
planted in corn, beans, sweet pota-
toes, ETC. We should prepare to feed
not only ourselves, (this is absolute
ty necessary, but we should raise a
surplus which others will need and
gladly >h'rv.--ses essp&aRh Of ! all kind is

every community should put up
dry kiln, in order to preserve the
sweet potato crop. There are several
Of these kilns in Louisiana today, and
they absolutely preserve the potato
from decay. They are comparative
ly inexpensive, and can be made to
accommodate thousands of bushels Of
potatoes. I have one on my farm,
and have not lost potato since have
had it. I raised a large crop last year,
and have my potato house now about
half full of potatoes, perfectly cured.
and not one spoilt
at is absolutely necessary that we
realize that we must raise our food
stuffs in the future, and never will
this be more imperative than now,
with war laying its increased demands
upon us.

and assure you / am willing to do
everything I can to further the move

Vermont Women Get Municipal
Suffrage.

A bill granting form of municipal
suffrage was passed by the Vermont
legislature March 20. Under its
provisions women may vote for all
town officers except road commission
ers. This is a step forward for Yer
mont women, and perhaps in time
their men may consider them capable
of exercising full suffrage. It may
perplex western1T Tomeu to understand
whether this action S concession or
a recognition of the degree of ca
pability of Vermont women. Until
they can 'Sstand fast in the liberty
which recognizes neither male nor fe-
male, and understand the equal re-
sponsibillty, Vermont women in their
gratitude for the crumbs which fall
from the political GIsle might, well
adopt Lazarus for their patron saint.
