FOOD CONTROL IS
 UP TO CONFEREES
Most Drastic MeaSue Ever Adopted hy Republic Passes Senate Minimum Wheat Price
 Set at $2 Rushel

Washington, July 22 Enactment of the food-control bill into law lhe most drastic measure ever adopted for republic depends now upon a dozen eonferees of the House and Senate.
 By Sl to 6 the senate late yester~ day passed the measure, after weeks of hitter lighting and heated debate. Its action represented a radical deviation from the House bill.
 The Senate proyided
 A food administration board of three members. instead of the one man board that Herbert c. Hoover was to constitute. One of the men must be practical farmer.
 Government control of coal from the mouth of the mine to the con- sumer.
 Communicating of all bonded liquor the government to pay a fair price for it--and prohibition of spirits distillaton.
 Minimum price of S2 a busheI at principal interior markets for high est grades of wheat until July i, 1919, with prices of other grades in proportion.
 Appropriation of more than $780, 100000 Si0,000,000 of it for goverr.- ment purchase and distribution of nitrate of soda for fertilizer to help stimulate crops, same to be sold to farmers at cost
 Conferences between represent atives and senators will begln Mon- day. The conferences will shape the eventual scope of the bill. The House must accept all Senate amendments or compromise must be reached.
 A big part of the fight will center around the liquor question The House bill forbade use of food for manufacture of all intoxicants. The Senate bill permits manufacture of wine and beer. This is expected to be the principal stumbling block
 Disposition of the liquor question affects hundreds of millions of dol lars in revenue and holds up action on the war tax bill.
 The amendment of Senator Pom creme authorizing the President, through the Federal Trade Com mission. to fix prices of coal and coke during the war, to take over at reasonable price and operate coal mines and to regulate whole sale and retail distribution and wages of coal miners, was adopted 72 to i2.
 And amendment by Senator Owen creating a joint congressional com mittee on expenditures of war to supervise appropriations was ae- cepted B to 3i, many Democrats joining with solid Republican vote for it.
 An amendment by Senator Till man appropriating Si0,000,00O for government purchase of nitrate of soda for fertilizer and it's sale at cost was adopted 90 to 20.
 In final vote the Senate reject ed, 60 to g, Senator Shafroth's amendment proposing a single food administrator, instead of the board of three members provided in the bill.
 Senator La Toilette furnished the only spectacular debate of the clos ing hours when in two speeches. his first on the food bill he cham pionea S2 wheat and later, the Pomerene amendment for control of coal

Average Mans Honesty

A banker who, for the first time in
his life, has come into intimate con-
tact with pOverty-stricken folk, says:
"The average man wants only half a
chance to be honest"
This is a thing worth learning, re-
marks the Toledo Blade. But it did
not require visits to the slums to find
it out. A little thought would have
served as well. The mass of people
is constituted of average men. The
mass has the power to do whatever it
wills to do. 1t could, if it wished,
rise in the night and strip the rich
bare, and since it is the mass that
represents the majority will, it could
so far as the law is concerned, go un-
punished.
But the average man is honest. The
mass wants nothing of blOOdshed and
robbery. Those who possess are safe
from those who have nothing. Our
banker friend who visited poverty row
used his eyes. His remark shows
that, for most of his years, he hadn't
on this particular subject, used his
brains.

RECLAIMING PARKER LANDS.

The members of the legislature OF
the state of Arizona seem to be
really devoted to the substantial in
terests of the people of their state
In a recent memorial to congress the
Arizona legislature sets forth that
within the Colorado River Indian
Reservation in Yuma county there
are 10000 acres of highly fer
tile river bottom lands adapted to
the growing of general agricultural
products; of rich mesa or high Ia
blelands especially adapted, by rea-
son of unusually favorable condi-
tions of soil and climate, to the Gull
ture of citrus and other fruits.
Exhaustive engineering investi-
cations conducted by the state land
department of Arizona have estab-
lished the existence Of underground
water resources, adequate in quanti-
ty and quality for the successful
reclamation of these lands and the
feasibility of such reclamation by
means of pumping plants by indlyid-
ual settlers or cooperative commu-
mites of settlers.
These lands, if developed and
utilized by intelligent agricultur-
lists, would, it is estimated add $3,-
100000 per annum in food supplies
to the products of Arizona and pro-
vide homes for thousands of Amer
lean citizens. The allotment of
such of the lands embraced within
the Indian reservation as may be
needed by the Indians, and the open
ing of the remainder to settlement
or for sale, would effect these highly
desired objects, and the Arizona leg
islature, in it's memorial to congress-
suggests that it would be an act of
simple justice to the town of Parker,
which though established by virtue
of federal action and encouragement
finds itself, after years of waiting,
still cut off from the development
to which it's natural resources enti-
tie it.
The Times indOrses the PROPOSE
tion that congress and the secretary
Of the interior should allOt to the
Indians on the Colorado River reser-
walton the lands needed by them for
their use, and restore the remainder
to entry under the United States
laws. And this should be done
forthwith in order that crops may
be planted this spring. Angeles

POINTS FOR POULTRY RAISER

A little salt in the mash food dur
ing the winter is an advantage, though
not enough should be used to make it
taste salty.
All of the kitchen and table waste is
good for the fowls, unless it contains
a lot of salt, and it may be fed mixed
in the mash or merely as scraps, in a
trough at midday. !
A good way to find out what the re-
quirements of Well-bred fowls are,
is to visit poultry show and study
the exhibits, talk with the exhibitors
and question the judge.
Although damaged grain, sWeepings
screenings, ETC., can be bought for
comparatively low prices sometimes,
they are not an economical food be-
cause they contain so little available
food that will nourish the hen and
make eggs.
corn that condemns it as a poultry
food.
The keeping and care of flock of
pure-bred birds is a pleasure, where
the keeping and care of a flock Of
mixed birds is task.
Do not feed more food of any kind
in trOughs or in the scratching litter
than the fowls will eat up in a reason
able time, because any that remains is
likely to spoil and be a detriment to
the fowls as we'll as a waste to the
owner.

A MODERN AUTO DA FE."

In the Sabbath school in Parker
recently the lesson for the youthful
devotees was that part of the third

refusing to worship the golden i'm
age as ordained by Nebuchadnezzar,
king of Babylon, were cast into
God of Abraham saved them and
they came out of the fire without as
much as a burn or blemish, a fact
which caused the king to revoke his
order and issue decree to the eff
feet that all persons uttering any
thing amisS against the God of those
Hebrews 'shall be cut to pieces and
their houses shall be made dung

Taking their cue from this par
able and borrowing other minor de-
tails from the history of the
Spanish Inquisition, eight or ten
school boys, under the leadership of
Dannie O'Connor, conceived the
idea of giving practical demonstra-

they had to take one at a time. The
first for the ordeal was Willie Sock

and foot, was held over the flames to
prove his faith. Now whether Dan
ieIs faith, like that of his biblical
namesake, was too strong while that
of the modern Shadrach was too
weak, or whether they held the lad
too close to the fire is not known,
