RUSS CONGRESS is FOR WAR
Each of Various Factions Would Fight
to a Finish-Many Favor
Crushing Germany.

P%etrograd, June 19.-The Congress
OF Workmen and Soldiers with dele
gates from all over Russia, appeared
certain today to sweep away the ma
tional power heretofore assumed by
the purely local Council Of Workmen's
and Soldiers Delegates in Petrograd,
Most important in this connection is
the fact that at least two of the lead
ing parties composing this allRussian
congress are violently opposed to dis
continuance of the war and want Rus.
STA to fight at once.
The Social Democrat delegates to
the new organization balloted secretly
Saturday night rs to IS for an often

SIMS COMMANDS THE FLEET
American Admiral in Charge Of Allied
Ships in Irish Waters During
Commanders Absence.

Washington, June Pa brief mes
sage from London today brought the
navy department its first news Of the
appointment Of Vice Admiral Sims to
command the allied naval forces in
Irish waters during the absence OF the
commander Of that district. The de-
partment had no other information as
to the new responsibilities placed upon
the American officer.
The government has given Admiral
Sims wide powers to enable him to
meet any situation that may arise.
Because Of the distance from Wash
ington to the scene Of operations, no
effort was made to hamper the Off
Ger With requirements that he report
for orders. The admiral has full au-
thority to act on his own initiative in
d%isposing the forces at his command.

The WOMEN CAN WIN THE WAR
Hoover Calls on Housewives Of coun-
try to Conserve Food supply
10 Enroll Them.

Washington, June lS.-Herbert c..
Hoover outlined tonight his plans for
enlisting the Nations housewives az
actual members of the food admins
tration and appealed to them to join
him in the fight for conservation meas
ures and the elimination Of waste. The
women win be enrolled during a period
Of registration from July 1 to July Is,
through the Council of National De-
Tense and the state defense councils.
Mr.. Hoover is proceeding at the d.
rection of President Wilson, who, with
out waiting for Congress to enact the
administration food bills, directed him
to proceed with organization of the
food administration in so far as it
contemplates assembling volunteer eff
fort.
AS requested by the President"
says his statement, I'VE ask every
woman in the United States engaged
in the personal control of food, to reg
lister for actual membership in the
food administration, thus entering d.
rectly into the national service. We
shall later on ask various classes of
men, likewise engaged in food produc-
ton and distribution, also to volunteer
to the federal service in their various
branches.
We must enter a period Of saeri-
flee for our country and for democ-
raey. Many must so into battle, but
many can only remain at home. The
worlds food supply is short and many
must suffer. We have the major bur
den of feeding the whole world. Food
must be managed and transported in
our own country and to our allies in
such a way as to get the most out Of
1t. Those who remain at home can
also help and can fight by helping the
fighter fight and can serve by saw
ing
Since food viii decide the war. each
American woman can do a real nation
al service by protecting the food sup
ply of the Nation. Ninety per cent
of American food consumption passes
through the hands Of u women. In
no other field do small things, when
multiplied by our hundred million peo-
pie count for so much. A single pound
of bread saved weekly for each person

ing of two cents on each meal every
day for each person, Will save to the
Nation for war purposes 2 billion dol

AGAINST A SEPARATE PEACE
Russian Duma Adopts Resolution In

Petrograd, June 1S.-The duma in
secret session has adopted a resolu-
tion for an immediate offensive by the
Russian troops.
The resolution declares a separate

The duma therefore considers the

TEE 10 SWAT fal Fly aoY
Preventing Their Breeding is Besi
Way to Fight the Pest Says
University Doctor.

The fly season is with US once
again. Fly swatting has already be-
gun in this section Of The country,
and would be more under way except
for the cold and damp spring which
prevailed in our state" Dr.. M. p.
Ravenel Of the department Of proven
tive medicine Of the University Of
Missouri says.
'Bemember that insects carry dis
eases and that n Of the worst is the
so-called domestic house fly, which
many people think should be renamed
the typhoid fly The fly is a scay-
anger 1t begins its life in filth, and
throughout its existence is constantly
feeding on filth. Unfortunately, it Is
not selective, and after feeding in a
spittoon or garbage barrel will make
its next meal in the dining room or
on the baby's bottle or lips, It's body
is covered with hairs, its feet end in
claws, and if examined under the mag
nifying glass it appears ideally formed
to pick up and carry filth.
"The true way Of approaching the
problem Of The fly nuisance is 10 pre-.
vent breeding" DR.. Ravenel says.
Flies breed by preference in horse
manure This material should then be
the first object of our care. Within
a ie" minutes after the dropping Of
the manure flies will deposit their
e es in it. If it is dried rapidly or
buried deeply as fertilizer the hatch
ing O, tle eggs is prevented. This is
often not possible. Various attempts
have been made to discover a cheap
ana efficient way Of treating manure
SO as 10 prevent The Matching Of eggs.
One Of the best methods is set forth
by the U. s.. Department Of Agricul.
ture, which consists In sprinkling the
manure with powdered hcllebore.
Tor hou5 ehold use, fly poisons are
to be recommended. The two best of
these are formaldehyde and s|alicylate
Of soda, either one of which can be
used in l per cent solution. For house
hold use the salicylate Of soda, the
medicine largely used in rheumatism,
can be used by dissolving three tea
%spooniuis in a pint Of water. This is
speedily fatal TO the flies and is not
poisonous for children or animals. Be
sides it is more attractive to flies es-
pecially if a little sugar is added"

State Bureau Says Prospects in State
Are Good With the Exception
of Wheat.

With the exception of wheat, which
promises a yield Of only about $4,000.
coo bushels, prospects for all Missouri
crops are fair, according to the month.
ly crop report issued by w. l.. Nelson,
assistant secretary Of the state board
Of agriculture The report follows in
part:
Heavy and general rains through
out most Of the state and frequent
showers in other sections put a stop
to farm operations during the latter
part Of May. Fortunately, at the time
work was interrupted it was well ad-
vanced.
There have been heavy local losses
from hail, wind and electrical storms,
especially in the southeast section.
Previous to the recent rains there was
fear Of a scarcity Of stock water in a
large number Of counties. A few COM
plants are heard as to work of cut
worms and wire worms. More season
able weather is needed.
ut is estimated that 80 per cent Of
the Missouri corn crop has been plant.
ed. but it is certain that some second
planting viii be necessary as the stand
thus far has been but Sc per cent of
normal This means that about one
fourth Of the fields have been planted
over. In some cases one-half the early
planting was a failure. On the other
hand, various localities report excel
lent stands.

Herbert C. Hoover.
S. BARREL TOO HIGH
To Bring Necessities to Proper Level,
Government Monopolies Are Sug-

Washington, June 20-Food suecula-
tors have been taking so million dol
lars a months for the last five months
"a total Of u billion dollars-from
the American people, Herbert c. Hoo
yer today told senators in explaining
the purpose Of the Food Control bill
now before Congress.
Mr., Hoover said this country has
been experiencing Unprecedented
prices and rampant speculation cit
ing how middlemen and all other per
sons in the distribution processes
have been purchasing increasing sup
plies to avert individual shortage.
Mr. Hoover cited the canning trade
as an example where the entire output
of vegetables and fish for 1917 has
been disposed Of already before st has
ever reached the canaers. lie predict
ed further high prices.
Thousands of men, he said, who here
tofore have never owned a dollars
worth Of foodstuff are now speculat-
ing in necessities.
Food Cheaper In england.
THE average prices to the con.
sumers in countries where food adj
ministration is now in effect are lower
than those in the United States" he
said. IN England The rice Of bread
is even 25 per cent below tlle price we
pay. | believe that unless some ad-
ministration Of our food is taken, we
VIII look back at these prices as be-
ing moderate"
Mr. Hoover denied that the bill es.
tablishes a food dictatorship He
characterized the purposes Of food ad.
ministration as 10 mobilize the people
in order to carry ont the advice given
them by the government officials and
to decentralize the functions Of the
administration in order TO centraHze
the functions Of the food administra-
tion into the various states.
A commission to take charge Of pro
duction and distribution Of flour, su.
gar, and possibly a few other principal
commodities Mr. Hoover said, is being
contemplated.
