MAY HAVE CONTROL OF FOOD
Council Power to Regulate
Prices During War.

Madison-A bill which has the back
ing Of Gov. Philip will be introduced
to give to the state council of defense
power TO seize foodstuffs and coal If
market conditions or an attempt to
charge unreasonable prices develops
in this state during the war.
Gov. Philip explained that the
measure would not be used to inter
fere with legitimate business, but
would be used by the council Of de-
tense if war emergency seemed to
warrant 1t. 1t provides that the de-
Tense body may take over foodstuffs
or coal, the price to be paid by the
state to be determined by the council.
The measure also gives power to the
defense council to take over ware
houses and storage facilities If II is
deemed necessary.
The bill has been studied by consti.
tutional lawyers who regard it as an
extension of the right of eminent do
main, and the governor is confident
that the measure, if it becomes law.
will stand the test of constitutionality.

Throw Water In Their Faces and
Then Cut Off Their Heads.

At the beginning of the Chino-Japa-
nese war. says contributor TO the
Washington Star, one of our military
attaches saw a Chinese regiment take
the field at a review and go through a
very curious performance.
The soldiers carried long bamboo
poles like fishing rods. and with these
they rushed at one another, yelling
wildly and making very queer gestures
and grimaces.
"Whats the gamer asked the Amer
lean.
THAT regiment" Chinese general
answered, us one of our very oldest.
IT is now practicing form Of assault
that dates from prehistoric times. The
idea is to trip the enemy up with the
long wand, throw water In his face
and, in the midst of his bewilderment
at this extraordinary treatment. to
cut off his head."--Youth's Compan-
