One thousand n hundred ana
thi.ty.two men between the ages OF
p and 81 were registered in Jeffer-
son City. There were no German
aliens registered, the only aliens pre-
senting themselves being Ave Greeks.
The registration in the penitentiary
shows a total OF 1905 between 81 and
81. out Of a total Of $3.50 male popu'
lation. The registration approximates
45 per cent Of the voting population.
Should this ratio be maintained
throughout the state on the basis Of
the vote cast at the last general cleo
ton, It would make the total regis.

UNLESS FOOD MEASURES
ARE PASSED.

Have Full Power to Fix Prices
and Take Over Products
Two Bills Considered.

Washington, d. C.-The urgent need
Of food legislation was emphasized oy
Secretary Houston Of the agriculture
department. in a statement outlining
In detail the purposes Of food bills the
administration has asked congress to
pass.
Cooperating as We are with the
nations OF Europe in the war against
the central powers said Secretary
Houston. "the task of maintaining the
subsistences Of the allies is at once 4
political and moral obligation and a
military necessity. War always is de-
%structive Of production, and. in a pc
culiar sense, it Is destructive OF the
production Of foodstufs, since war
leads to a scarcity Of labor and labor
is one OF the chief factors in cultiva.
ton Of the soil.
In addition, the wheat crop of prac-
tically the entire world has suffered
serious reduction during the past year
and the prospects for the coming year
promise little or no increase in the
production of this essential cereal.
"One Of two courses lies open to
| our government. The first is to con
tinue IS We are at present--that is, to
permit unhampered the abnormal OPP
| erations Of trade. rendered all the
more abnormal because Of the needs
Of the allies for foodstufs from this
country. The second plan consists
in the regulation or control of our
foodstuffs to the double end Of main
tenance Of the subsistence Of the
allies and the protection of the food
needs and commercial interests of our
own people.
Two Bills Before Congress.
'"rhe bills now pending in congress
provide for systematic development
Of our productive forces and an ade
quate control OF distribution and con
sumption, to the end Of conserving
for ourselves and for the allies tn.
food stutfs provided through the slim
ulation Of agriculture"
Secretary Houston describes thu
6rst food bill as a measure to stimu
late production and the second as on
to control distribution.

to do the impossible, but thank God that there is in
Russia elemental common and stability of char
acter which has carried her through the nnum-
cradle crises of the past months without faering in
her loyalty to the and to the to whom she
bound.

million men to the colors. Her net losses in electives

What About the League?

Representatives A. F. Teigen and Senator R. c. Dunn
had session in st. Paul Senator Dunn's has gone
to France to help win the war; Mr.. Teigens is at
home and has been spending his time recently organizing
the NOnparsan league and making disparaging remarks
with regard to the government it's efforts get
ready for In other words, helping win
the and the other is helping to lose it.
Naturally this disturbed cordiaty of the meet
ing between these two we'll men and some of Bob
Dunns picturesque language filled the air. Teigens
reply embodied in phrase and manner very much
less vehement than he would ordinarily employ speak
ing of the weather. but it conveyed the information that
his son had found out something that he didn't know
before and that he had cu the anti-war talk and
quit the league
That let's the boy out who is probably guilty of
youth and lack of information. But what about the
league? Has it taken steps disavow the disIoyal
utterances of the boy while he its representatives.?
