WASHINGTON NEWS
Congressman Keating)

Washington, d. C.,-Public senti-
ment sometimes becomes so po:ent
and well organized in this country
that it sweeps away all barriers. That
has been the case with the Lever
food control dill. The special inter
es:s which planned first to defeat it
and then to emasculate it have been
driven to cover. They dared not fac
AN aroused ,citizenry.
At this writing the Hill has not
come back to the house from the
senate, but in all probability it will
be strengthened instead CT weakened
In that body. AS it passed the house
it dealt with food. feed and fuel. The
senate will add steel, oil. copper and
many other items, including farming
implements and fertilizer. Most i'm
pcrtant of all, instead CT postponing
action until September list. when the,
food pirates would have entrenched
themselves behind contracts. the
measure will probably be signed by
the president early in July.
Billions for a Few.
The need of giving the government
the power to fix the prices OF steel
ard cecil is shown in a remarka BILE
letter which Jchn Skeltcn Williams,
comptroller of the currency. recently
wrote 20 a gentleman in this city and
a copy of which is before ME.
Speaking of the success of the
Liberty Loan" Mr.. Williams says:
But how far will the proceeds of
these bonds go towards paying the
bills OF .his ard o her nations for
the enormous volume of supplies and
munitions which are being purchase
every day? For the principal articles
purchased we are now being required
to ray from twice to four times the
prices which prevailed less than three
years ago. Therefore, in order to OBJ
tain these supplies, we are doing
what is equivalent to selling the Lib
erty BCrds at 20 cents en- the dollar
in buying steel at four times the
price which prevailed in 1913; or we
are selling bonds at the equivalent of
33 cents en- the dollar, when we in
vest their proceeds in ccal CIR wheat
at three times the price we paid in
1914.
This simply means. of course. that
three billion dollars OF Liberty Bonds
at 1917 prices will buy one billion
dollars worth or less, Of supplies at
1914 prices.'

An Old Love Secret.

a youth or maiden pulls primrose
from its stalk, and, after cutting Off
the tops of the stamens with pair of
scissors, puts 1t in some secret place
where no human eye can see 1t. All
through that day the loved one must
be thought of, and dreamed of through
the night. Next day the flower is to be
taken from Its hiding-place. If the
stamens are found to have shot out
to their former height, success In loye
will attend the experimenter If not,
disappointment will be his or her lot.

And now, In 1917, Prussia, SylI

liberately forces the United States in
to- state of war, her greedy, cove
tous eyes as always fixed on the pos
sessions of others, while with mock
heroics she attempts to play the role
of the prosecuted one. Read her rec
ord as carved with her sword, as writ
ten in her diplomacy, as evidenced by
her propaganda and intrigues. In the
light of our experience in this country
since the summer Of three years ago,
we can understand something of the
methods employed which provoked the
wars of 1864. 1866 and 1870.
"Many of our residents who them
selves or whose forebears were born
in Germany have been able through
the advantages afforded them here to
reach positions of affiuence and infiu-
ence. What would be their present
condition, both financial and social,
had they never emigrated to the Unit
ed States? Why did they leave the
place of their birth? Let them ask
themselves these questions. They claim
to be practical men of affairs then let
them look at this question from that
standpoint, and l am sure they viii
realize that their interests lie unques-
tionably with the corporation in which
they have their all invested.
Let us keep our friendships, our
affection for our friends in the central
empires. but let us stand shoulder to
shoulder and see this fight through
Let us strain every nerve to help our
corporation to win this fight and not
go down before the predatory Prussiar

For Dlphtheria.

A recent issue Of the indianapolis
Medical journal contains an article
suggesting the use Of fresh buttermllk
as gargle for diphtheria. Another
method Is to use swab with butter
milk, perhaps for the reason that some
persons cannot gargle. A practitioner
gives his experience in nine cases
where the plain buttermilk wns used
five or six times day. He believes
that the diphtheria organisms were

The long delayed exploitation of the
eastern part Of Colorado as an oil
producing regiCn has finally arrived.
This great Trairie country of sedi-

Scouts from numerous concerns
have been secretly securing options
upon extensive areas CT land in the
eastern half Of Colorado. AmCrg the
companies who are exploiting this re-
gion may he meri ion ned the following:
The Akrcn Oil & Gas Co., has
holdings at Akron. Here the geolo-
gist for the company asserts hat the
conditions are duplicates of these in
the Beaumont field of Texas.
The Colorado Gil Co., holds the dis
tinction of being the second oil COM
pany to enter the AkrCn field. That
the fact that ere of the largest pro-
ducipg companies in the mid-conti-
nent field of Kansas and Oklahoma
has taken leases in close proximity.
This fact and the further one that
this company hclds large acreage
make it one Of the most promising
in eastern Colorado.
The Cheyenne Oil Co., holds out
right all of Sec. 26, T. ~ s., R. 43

additional large acreage. 1t is re-
ported that drilling will commence
