Atchison, Kan, Dec. 1S.-Voicing
opposition to the rules and regula-

who has set the standards for grading
grain, three hundred Kansas, Missouri
and Oklahoma farmers and grain
dealers appeared before George LlV-

The farmers and the cooperative
grain dealers association were rep
resented by Major w. L. Brown, w.
F. Brown and A. F. Daniels, repre-
sentatives of the Kansas City Millers'
club and the board of trade were
present.
The farmers representatives charge
big millers are discriminating against
the farmers and cooperative grain
dealers by refusing to buy their grain
unless brought to line elevators,
where, the farmers allege, the millers
force lower prices thru lower grad
ing. This charge was made by Dan
iels in the conference and was sup
ported by other witnesses.

This dispatch asserted that the Boil

Recent elections to the constituent

Press dispatches today from Stock

One is the Cossack-Cadet party re-

which are calculated to effect a saw

600 bushels of wheat during the pres
ent crop year are outlined in food ad-
ministration regulations which are
now being issued to flour millers of
the country. the milling division of the
federal food administration announced
today.
Flour millers will be limited in the
amount of wheat from which a barrel

saving of wheat may be made in this
way without seriously changing the

Result Is Strong Approval Oi
Borden Administration.
SOLDIER VOTE IS COMING
1t Will Add Thousands to Con-
scriptiOn Landslide.
German and French Voted
Against Borden Cabinet.

Ottawa, Dec. 1S.-Election returns
received up to noon today indicate
that the government will have a clear
majority of forty-eight seats with
three in doubt two of which had been
previously credited to the government
and one to the opposition and four
seats in which the election is deferred.
Ottawa, Dec. 1S.-The English
speaking sections of Canada yester-
day voted solidly for conscription and
the return of the union government
with Sir Robert Borden at its head.
The French and the German-speaking
parts of the country voted against the
Borden government and for the return
of Sir Wilfrid Laurier as prime min
lister.
The predominance of the English
speaking element in the dominion
makes the return of the union govern
ment with Sir Robert Borden at its
head a certainty.
Tremendous majorities for success
full candidates on both sides constitute
the striking feature of the election.
The only effect of the soldier vote will
be to increase the majority of the
government from about thirty to some
forty seats, and will make it easier for
the Borden ministry to carry on its
administration.
The decisive character of the Bor-
den victory relieves the apprehension
that was felt that if either side was
returned by a narrow margin the
strong feeling over the conscription is
sue might lead to seS.ous disorders in
the country and force another election
in the near future.

sidered the government is retained IN

TACKLE FOOD PROBLEM
Legislation VIII Be Formulated When
Congress RecOnvenes.

washington, Dec. 1S.-Legislation
looking to a solution of the high cost
of food problem will be formulated
when congress reconvenes after the
holidays. Both in the senate and
house, action is now being planned.
"An those concerned in the food
problem are studying the phases of
the present emergency with the view
of making such changes as may be
considered necessary" said Repre-
sentative Lever, of South Carolina,
today.
Mr. Lever intimated that there was
a great demand on all sides for a re-
vision or amendment of the laws. He
of action, but these important facts
will be put before congress:
THE individual consumer has OBJ
tanned practically no relief from the
unreasonable demands of the retail
ers.
2-Prices are higher today than
they were six months ago; there is
little hope for lower costs in sight.
3-The margin of great profit, cut
off from the broker and middleman
by law, is now going to the retail
dealer.
An some cities retail dealers are
making from so to 100 per cent on
their stocks.
5-The food manufacturers and
Gamers are obtaining from to Is
per cent margin Ol pIOA4l DtlI ut-
mands for high prices have been al
most eliminated by law and the watch
of the food administration.
G-Power must be given to the food
administrator to compel the retailer to
sell at reasonable figures according to
the market prices.
Some change, it is declared by sena-
tors and representatives is demanded.
The measure of authority vested in the
food administration has done a great
amount of good. they pointed out
but there is no regulation or control
exercised over the retail dealer who
is looking for unreasonable profits for
his handling of the food Instances
are being reported from various
sources Of higher prices in small cities
where distribution problem is moth
ing like so serious as in large cities
like New York. Whatever the result
of the present investigation it is ex-
planned that the. revised or amended
laws must bring the retailer under
the authority of the food admins
