URGES FIXING
Of FOOD PRICES

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The sec
rotary Of agriculture. in response to
telegram regarding the fixing of
prices of food products, made the
following reply:
Your telegram received. No
agency now has power to fix prices
of food products. Have suggested
that congress confer power on the
government TO fix minimum and
maximum prices if the emergency
requires them. The object of a
minimum price 10 producers would
be TO stimulate production of GER
tain staple products by assuring
farmers that these products would
not be disposed of below a certain
level which would give them a
reasonable return and would not
cause them t. suffer loss i'm any
event This I'D have to be done
under proper regulation. The short
age of important crops in this ma
ton, the greatly depleted resources
abroad, and the waste and destruc-
ton in Europe should cause a con-
tlnuance of remunerative prices, but
as an additional assurance to farm
ers the power indicated ought TO be
tested in the government. 1t is not
suggested that maximum prices be
fixed to producers, but that power
to fix such prices governing the dis
tribution of products be given to
the government TO be used if neces-
sary to control uneconomic specu-
lation and manipulation in the hand
ling of food products. Ii is of the
first Importance that no steps be
omitted greatly to increase the sup
ply especially of the great staple
food products of the United States
in every direction"

TO INCREASE SUPPLY
OF CARS FOR PACKING

The steps that have been taken
TO increase the supply of tin cans
for the coming packing season
were announced today by Sec'y Red
field. They consist principally in
speeding up the manufacture of
tinplate, in arrangements by the
manufacturers whereby much of the
tinplate ordinarily used in packing
nom perishable goods will be di-
verte to the packers OF perishable
foods, and in the introduction of
suitable substitute containers for
many lines of non-perishable goods
usually packed in tin. At present
the Gamers are demanding 30 per-
cent more cans than the can manu-
facturers feel that they are able to
promise.

HAMMERING THE INSPECTOR

Papers along the coast have joined in anvil chorus against the postal inspector of this district and giving him regular banning for this and that which, up to date seems to have produced little or no result.
 Here the virtue of complaints filed from other points is not known but there are things about the postoce situation in general that have been uncovered which will be of interest
 For many years, yea since Hector was very smaI dog the job of postmaster has been political plum desired because there sort of general understand ing that the postmaster didn't have do the work but could hire clerks while he went after trout golf or pitched QuOits During these same years the postal deficit one of the massive financial pyramids with which congress wrested each session and it was generally understood that the postal department sort of beneficial ns tuition, except for the clerks
 Then someone discovered that other countries were able to handle their mail without loss and someone else began little efficiency campaign and it finally Smmered down to question of getting dollars worth of work for dollar
 PoStmasters were given quiet tip that Uncle Sam ex pected them to be eight hours day the office hard it. Some took the hint and some didn't
 As before stated the exact status of conditions in other Alaska camps not known but it is fact that un less the postmaster himself is doing eight hours day in his office his request for additional clerk hire will fall deaf He may really need two more clerks but the fact that he is out with the boys himself will initiate against his getting one.
 Locally it is stated that the inspector has been very fair.

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for n

Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through a fine cloth so

woman knows that lemon juice is
used to bleach and remove such blem-
ishes as freckles. sallowness and tan,

neck, arms and hands. 1t should nat
urally help to whiten soften, freshen,
and bring out the hidden roses and
beauty of any skin. It is wonderful
for rough, red hands.
Your druggist will sell three ounces
of orchard white at little cost and

.EXTRA-TERRIT0RIALITY
LOSING STRENGTH
Chinese Want Authority Vested
in Their Own Courts as Has
Been Done in Japan.

PEKTNG, May 1O-Because of
(By Associated Press staff Correspondent)
treaty provisions giving European ma
tons the right to establish their own
courts in China many complications
have arisen as a result of the turning
over of German interests in China 20
the Dutch legation.
The Dutch minister has sent Dutch
representatives to the various treaty
ports to take over the German con-
sulates, but there is much dispute as
to the powers the Dutch representa-
tives will have.
China has stoutly insisted that Ger
man citizens who commit any crimes
against China shall be tried before
Chinese courts This claim has prac-
tically been conceded by all the lega-
tions in Peking, and the Dutch repre-
sentatives are assuming charge Of the
German consulates with this under
standing.
Disputes Arise.
Since China has broken off diplo-
matte relations with Germany, and
there is such great danger of further
German intrigue in China, the repre-
sentatives of the entente powers have
been anxious that Chinese courts
should have the right to punish Ger
mans who plot against the Chinese
government.
However. the extension of this right
to the Chinese court is a precedent
which is not entirely agreeable to for
/, eign legations in China, eager as they
are to prevent German intrigue. Neu
trail nations. especially, are appre
hensive about the waving of foreign
jurisdiction over Europeans residing
| in China.
