Presidents Bills
For Food Control
Ready for House
Legislation Expected to
Cover Price Fixing and
Cold Storage

Washington, April 21.-Administra-
ton bills to control the food situation,
which have been approved by Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Houston, will
be introduced early next week by
Chairman Lever, of the House Agri-
cultural Committee. Stimulation OF
production and control of distribution
TO prevent the making Of exorbitant
prices by spectators are expected TO
be provided for.
The legislation probably will involve
fixing Of prices, close regulation or
cold storage plants, warehouses, pack
ing establishn tnts, and possibly Tor
the government taking over those lnst-
tutions, If necessary.
In the Senate public hearings on
food problems will begin before the
Agriculture Committee Monday. Plans
for legislation are expected to wait on
DEVELOPMENTS of the hearings.
The resolution by Senator Smith, OF
South Carolina, to empower the Presl-
dent to spend 100000 in bringing
nitrate from Chile on government
ships, if need be, TO fertilize the thin
farms of the Atlantis seaboard and
thus increase food production, was APP
proved to-day by the Senate Agricult-
ure Committee. Very broad discretion
would be given the President TO carry
ont the plan.
Consideration of the resolution was
indefinitely postponed by the Senate
however, and il went to the calendar.

chased two months ago in Aroostook
County, Me-, by the Mayors Food Sup
ply Committee, will be distributed at
cost to the farmers for seed.
The committee bought these potatoes
to offset a food shortage here. The
need for seed potatoes, however, Is so
acute that the committee deems 1T ad-
visable to use the potatoes for that pur-
pose. All who receive the potatoes will
be required to give the Mayors Food
Supply Committee an option for the
purchase of the entire crop at the mar
ket price when it is harvested.
The potatoes cost the committee an
average of S255 a bushel The freight,
which the farmers must pay, will make
the potatoes cost them about S2.75 a
bushel. The present market for suc/
potatoes is between $3.50 and So. In
former years, they sold for 81 bushel |.
The agents of the New York Central
will help the farmers get in touch with
the Patriotic Farmers Fund, which has
100000 TO lend the agriculturists on
easy terms. Application blanks for la
Dor have been given the agents for dis
tribution among the farmers. These,
when filled out, will be turned over to a
special employment bureau Of the New
York Central, which will seek to fill
the farmers labor needs.

Boy Scouts Pledged
To Help Feed Troops

Two thousand Boy Scouts, IN back
to the soil" mass meeting at the Hip
podrome yesterday morning, developed
as much enthusiasm over raising beans
as they would over a baseball game.
Every boy shouted out a pledge to
make good the Boy Scout slogan, Every
Scout to Feed Soldier"
Each Scout received copy of the
Garden Primer distributed by the
Mayors Food Supply Committee and a
package of seeds. Every Scout is
pledged not only to raise vegetables
himself, but to induce nine other per-
sons to plant gardens. 1t is expected
over 100000 gardens will be planted
throughout the country as result Of
the Boy Scouts efforts.
Chief Scout Commissioner Dan
Beard and Hal Fullerton, agricultural
expert Of the Long Island Railroad,
who has been appointed chief grub
scout, aroused the boys enthusiasm
with their agricultural eXhortations.
Stereoptican slides illustrating Mr..
lerton's address gave the boys valuable
tips on gardening. Some views showed

"These men have a big job" said Mr..

cit is likely that when the restaurant
and hotel proprietors in smaller places
hear Of it they will not think it be-
meath their dignity to join in the move
ment"
Regarding a suggestion that the out
lying public parks be ploughed up for
the raising Of vegetables, Mr.. Perkins
was not enthusiastic. He declared such
a step was unnecessary.
"If all the available lands in greater
New York. Long Island and Westches-
ter County were intensively cultivated
they could produce only ga per cent
of New York's consumption Of garden
truck" he said. Anything that might
be produced by cultivating our public
parks would be only drop IN the
bucket and not worth the sacrifice. The
big thing in this movement is to help
the farmers. They are the real sub
stantial food producers Of the nation

man of the report on resolutions, eX-
planned how selected CONSUMPTION was
carried on in England; Mrs. Bryan, of
Tennessee, wanted the entire society of

at the Capitol "who tie the hands of
the President" and an enthusiastic
Texas woman urged that the golf links
all over the country be ploughed up for
potato patches, and that the gentlemen
who play might get their exercise with
shovel, hoe and rake.

Hall was entirely liquidated. this being
made possible by the newly elected
president general, Mrs. George Thatcher
Guernsey, who prevailed upon Mrs.
William Butterworth, of Illinois, to
contribute $4,000 to-day, and thus give
Mrs. Story the honor, instead of wait
ing until Mrs. Guernsey took up the

mond ring upon her retirement.

spinach, in order to show the busy
New Workers how it is done.
Two gardens have been laid out. One
is 20x20 feet, and is supposed to rep
resent a typical city black yard gar
den. The other is twice as large, and
is representative of what may be done
in gardening by a commuter with a
little more land at his disposal.
The cultivation of the plots will be
done by park laborers, under the direc-
ton of f. J. Miller, who lectures daily
on gardening in the Park Department

Do You Believe In God? Then OutWardIy
Manifest 1t by Going to Church.

IT is not enough for one to say that he lives a righteous life and
that he believes in a Supreme Being. He must give OUT
WARD MANIFESTATION of that belief.
HESITATION of his belief in and love of God, and that is by
GOING TO CHURCH. The church is the home OF God. He
reigns there. On great feast days like Easter, Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Years the churches are filed to overfowing.
People GO TO CHURCH to honor God and thank him for his
blessings. Don't wait for these feast days to GO TO CHURCH
and then stay away from church for the remainder of the year.
EVERY SUNDAY is a feast day of the church.
AS A RESULT OF THE COUNTRY WIDE GO TO CHURCH
MOVEMENT THERE HAS BEEN A SPLENDID INCREASED At
TENDANCE IN THE CHURCHES. BUT THERE ARE MANY WHO
HAVE BEEN DEAF TO THE CALL. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THESE,
MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO GO TO CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY. TELL
YOUR WIFE OF YOUR RESOLUTION, AND NOTE THE PLEASED
LOOK ON HER FACE. TELL YOUR CHILDREN, AND 1T WILL
MAKE AN IMPRESSION ON THEM FOR LIFE. A PARENT CAN
ILL AFFORD TO ASK HIS CHILDREN TO GO TO CHURCH AND
REMAIN AWAY FROM DIVINE SERVICE HIMSELF.
Going to church DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY GREAT SAC
RIFICE. The services are at a seasonable hour. They are not
long. You surely MEET THE RIGHT KIND OF PEOPLE
there. The sermons invariably are INSTRUCTIVE AND UP
LIFTING. Try going to church next Sunday. See if you don't
feel better for it. 1t will help you to overcome the temptations
of the world. You'll hesitate before you do a wrong act. Sin
brings its punishment; righteousness its reward. If you want to
earn the reward of righteousness and avoid the punishment of
sin, be a regular church attendant.
START NEXT SUNDAY T. BE A CONSISTENT CHURCH
GOER.
