 mittee--To Delegate Power.

Washington, June 1.-The sec ond administration food control bill, granting broad powers to the pres ident, was agreed 10 by the house agricultural committee today by a vote of i2 to 3, and immediate re- pert to the House authorized. Chairman Lever expects it to pass with less than two weeks debate. The first bill, now pending, is to stimulate production of food; the second is to control distribution and price. The bill provides guaran- teed minimum price to producers of non-perishable agricultural pro- ducts under regulations to be pre- scribed by the president. The com mittee dropped the plan for maxi mum price fixing on ground that it was unnecessary. A good deal of op- position was expressed to it.

MENA FOR SUMMER NORMAL. Teachers Believe With Proper Elf
 fort It Could Be Secured.

Some of the teachers attending the Polk county institute are dis cussing the feasibility of establish ing summer normal in this city, so that teachers who desire to take this work will no longer be com- pelled to go to Conway, Hot Springs or some other points equally as diff ficult to reach from Western Ar kansas. The summer normal being held this year at Hot Springs is be- ing conducted under the auspices of Peabody Institute of Nashville, Tenn, and it is believed that with the proper encouragement from the citizens of Mena, Peabody or some other distinguished institution may be interested in carrying on similar work in this city.

CANNING STRING BEANS.
Miss Annie Woods Gives Details of
 Successful Method.

Dr. R. T. Connally of Freedom township, desirous of doing his part in conserving the food that is being grown by himself and neighbors, on Monday sent a request to The Star asking that a good receipe for can ming string beans be given so that he and his neighobrs and others of the county may be prepared to take care of the surplus crop.
 The matter was referred to Miss Annie Woods, home demonstrator, and she submitted the following di- rections prepared by Miss Emma Archer, state home demonstration agent: z.
 First, wash your jars, lids and rubbers we'll, and then put them in a pan of water or canner and let boil whilR you prepare the beans. This is sterilizing the jars. Have Ia kettle of water that has been boiled ready for use.
 Now, select young and tender beans. String and break them into short even lengths. Wash them, put them in flour sack and put down into a pan of boiling water for eight or ten minutes or until you see them change color. Then take them out and pack them in the ster- ilized jars. Dissolve salt in the water that has been boiled and pour this brine over the beans. Put on the rubber and screw the lid down until you can lift the jar by it; then place it in the canner or deep kettle of hot water which comes within one-half inch of the lid of the jar. Cover closely and start cooking. Do not count time until the water gets to boiling; then boil two hours, take out and screw the top down as tightly as possible.
 If you use kettle or deep pan to cook jars iii, put strips of wood nailed together to make a false bot tom, which keeps the jars from hit ting together. Remember to have a tight fitting lid to the vessel used as a canner.
 By strictly following all these rules. you will find it as easy to keep your canned beans, as it is to keep peaches"

High-Up Fiahtina.

Rome, June i2.-The action begun by the Italians on the Trentino high plateau of the Alpine front is pro- ceeding at an altitude of 1000 feet amid stormy atmospheric condi- tions. The fighting is along the same front where the Italians stopt the Austrian invasion year ago. Now the Italian advance is threat ening the center of the Austrian po- sitions leading from the Trentino high plateau to the Sugana valley, which ends near Trent. The pres ent action in the Trentino is the best proof, Italian military officials point out that the Austrian counter offensive on the Carso front neither inflicted the heavy losses claimed nor affected the morale of the Italian army. After holding all the chief positions taken in the Carso advance, the Italian command in stituted a new offensive on the Trentino front despite their knowl- edge that a great concentration of Austro- Hungarian trops had been made there from the Russian front.

If you cannot on the ocean
 Sail among the swiftest fleet. Rocking on the highest pillows
 Laughing at the storms you meet, You can stand among the sailors,
 Anchored yet within the bay, You can lend hand to help them
 AS they launch their boats away. If you are too weak to journey
 Up the mountain steep and high You can stand within the valley
 While the multitudes go by; You can chant in happy measure
 As they slowly pass along Though they may forget the singer,
 They will not forget the song. If you have not gold and silver
 Ever ready al command: If you cannot toward the needy
 Reach an ever-helping hand, You can succor the afflicted,
 Der the erring you can weep; You can be a true disciple,
 Sitting at the Masters feet If you cannot in the harvest
 up -lANhCHA t-~Nr>'~ Many grains. both ripe and golden,
 Win the carless reapers leave; Go and glean among the briers
 Growing rank against the wall, For il may be that the shadows
 Hide the heaviest wheat of all If you cannot in the conflict
 Prove yourself a soldier true, If where fire and smoke are thickes
 There's no work for you to do. When the battlefield is silent
 You can go with careful tread You can bear away the wounded,
 You can cover up the dead. Do not then stand idly waiting
 For some greater work to do; Fortune is a lazy goddess
 She will never come to you: Go and toll within life's vinyard;
 Do not fear to do or dare If you want field of labor
 You can find it anywhere.

The Star a Fine Paper.
the Readers of The Star.

To the Readers of The Star.
 Please permit the writer, who brides himself as having been one of the few successful journalists in the South, oI. elsewhere, to say few words commendatory of the Daily and Weekly Star.
 I read a great deal, and personal ly know most of the newspaper men in Arkansas and many in other states, and for these reasons have right to appreciate real news paper when I see and read it. l want to say unresefvedly that The Star. both Daily and Weekly issues, rank with the very best in it's news features, its general get up, clear ness of print. and last, but not least, the fairness and reliability of it's utterances.
 note with pleasure that the Daily Star has recently taken on more home print matter, and is otherwise greatly improved. 1t has all along given far more value than its limited patronage justified often giving special telegraph news, when of National or international impor- fance, on the day of it's occurrence.
 The merchants and people of Mena should duly appreciate such a splendid newspaper, and as rule I believe most of them do so. But it is with the merchants to help make or break a daily newspaper. and they certainly ought to literally ad- vertise in The Stars columns. inas- much as it reaches the people of both the city, the county and con- tiguous territory.
 In conclusion. will say in this day of hard conditions for newspapers, if is no wonder many small dailies, in cities the size of Mena, and larger, have had to suspend publication--at at DeQueen. Van Buren and other places. this has been true. It is tc be hoped our people will stand squarely by Mena's live newspaper. The Star.

Following the lessons of history, many were those who prophesied that Registration day would bring much trouble. that the people would resist, with arms if necessary, And now, that it is over, it is apparent that the people were ready and will ing to do their part, saw the justice of the steps, and put to shame those cheap politicians who tore the att mosphere with their wailings. Never have the American people been so united, each so ready to do his full share in the capacity where most needed

PROGRESS AND THE TEACnERs.

In every direction are to be found indications of the progress that is so general in Polk county, and in no ih- stance is this more apparent than in the class of educators now head ing our schools. The time has gone by when just anybody" would do to teach the young folks in rural school As a proof of this, it is pointed out that of the i25 teachers registered at the institute in Mena, but three are holders of third grade certificates. A few years ago such certificates were common. In those days little special preparation was demanded of teacher. Now spe- cial course of instruction must be had before any sort of certificate to teach may be had.
 Mena is most happy to have with in it's confines such fine lot of young men and women as are at tending the Polk county Institute. They are clean cur, energetic and efficient lot, and will wield an untold influence for good.
 It is the ordinary thing for us to tel of the progress in other lines, in farming, in stock raising, in churches and community life. but it is too often forgotten that our school teachers are in the front ranks of the workers for all these good things, and, in reality, are the very foundation for the best of them.

BRIEF AND BREEZY.

It is quite proper for the governsr ment to place heavy tax on such industries, as Ammunition, Automo. piles, Iron, Steel and others thas have enjoyed unusual prosperity aS a result of the war. But who was the boneheaded patriot who sus. gested a crushing burden on tne newspapers and magazines by nl- creasing their postage rate, when they have already been dealt a stasd q gering blow by the unprecedeheeus rise of near 300 per cent in the coss of print paper. Taxing mislol tunes" is new kink to the iaiL- minded American people. shame o'' yon. Congress.

Airplanes Versus Submarines.

Washington, June i2-Rear Ad- miral Robert E. Peary told a suh- committee of the Senate Military Committee Tuesday that the air plane was the cheapest and quick est answer to the submarine and that if 1000 airplanes were sent abroad they would do more to cure the submarine menace than any thing else that could be done.
 Airplanes could prevent landing of Ia hostile army, said Admiral Peary, but it would mean the use of thou sands of planes.
