Automo biIes Per Population

Iowa has one automobile for every
eleven of its population, or practically
one for every other family. Vermont
has one for every twenty of its popula-
ton or one for every four families. We
generally think of the cities and the
larger towns as the places of wealth,
but the distribution of automobiles
shows that the rural states have the
most cars in proportion to population.
While the cities have wealth they have
poverty also, The average in the coun-
try is better. bennington Banner.

their proximity to real warfare. The

during the debate in the Senate today
on the administration food control bill,
1T Is time to forget party elign'
ment', he said, "and ! am glad to say
that majority of both the Democrats
and Republicans have done so, but
there is small group on both sides
who have formed themselves into an
anti administration, anti American
Party"
Consciously or unconsciously, he
said, they had put themselves into the
attitude Of opposing everything that
goes 10 carry on the war
II is time for the majority Of the
Democratic and Republicans parties to
get together and say to these two little
groups, he declared, "YOu have
danced your ballet, you have sung your
song, America is tired of you We
are tired of you and want to do some
thing,
Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson, are

FOOD BILL BECOMES LAW
The food bill passed through the last
stage of legislative enactment this after
noon when it was finally adopted by the
Senate in form previously approved by
the House.
Immediately after the final vote on
the control bill the Senate by a viva
voce vote also approved the conference
report on the first administration food
bill providing for food survey and
stimulation Of production. Both bills
are to become laws Friday with Presi-
dent Wilson 5 approval.
Prompt appointment Of Herbert
Hoover as food administrator and i'm
mediate operation under the legisla-
ton is expected to follow. In addition
to its comprehensive provisions for con-
troll of food fuel, fertilizer and farm
equipment the control bill carries dras-
tic prohibition features. Thirty days
after it is approved it will be unlawful
to use foodstuffs in the manufacture of
distilled beverages or to import dis
titled spirits for beverage purposes, and
the president will be empowered to
commander for military purposes dis
titled liquors now held in bond and to
regulate or restrict the use of foods in
the manufacture of wine and beer.

lRY ". " .Jermanel

WASHINGTON, May D. While prohibition has been making rapid progress in the United States for several years past, it has also been going ahead in Canada, and it is likely that the two countries will reach a total state of prohibition at about the same time, Canada having perhaps a slight advantage. The en- tire Dominion, except Yukon and about 1G per cent. of Quebec, has now voted on the prohibition ques- tion and it is therefore easy to if. gure out the results. that have been attained
 As in the United States, prohibi- tion has made progress without na- tional interference. AS the forward steps here have been made state by state, so in Canada. they have been province by province. There is demand in Canada, just as there has been here. that the national leg islative body submit the proposition of prohibition to the whole people.
 Big Gains For Drys
 Nova Scotia, excepting Halifax was dry previous to July 1, 1916. on which date that city was included under law applying to the entire province.
 In New Brunswick ten of the four teen counties and two of the cities are dry and on the first of this month the entire province went into the dry column.
 Prince Edward Island is dry In Quebec 975 out of 1,1S5 munici. palities are dry.
 Ontario became dry on September Is, 1916.
 Manitoba is dry
 British Columbia Wet | In Saskatchewan the saloons were abolished as long ago as July 1 1915. as war measure, and the pro hibitionists are confident they vii not be reopened
 1 Alberta became dry July |. 1916
 At the fall elections of last veal prohibition showed a number of i'm portant gains in British Columbia. In Newfoundland the vote for pro hibition was nearly five to one. New | fOundland is not part of the Do miniOn of Canada but of course is g part of British North America.
