Baron Davenport was appointed
Food Controller in the Lloyd George
cabinet on Dec. 10, 1916. Reports
have been received here for the last
few days regarding his impending
resignation and the man who will
succeed him. Major Sir Arthur Lee,
now Director of General Food Produc-
ton, has sbeen mentioned as the most
probable candidate for the post OF
Food Controller. Another report said
that William Thome, a labor mt mber
of the House of Commons, would be
made Parliamentary Secretary for the
Food Ministry, replacing Charles Ba-
rthurst. who will take the place now
held by Sir Arthur Lee.

SOUPS,

The proportion of meat and bone
should be about equal in weight and
a quart of cold fresh water is allowed
to every pound of meat and bone. In
most families where roasts of beef,
steaks and poultry are freely used
there is usually material enough to
keep the stock put supplied without
purchasing meat especially for it.
When fresh meat is bought for
stock select a place from the shin of
beef or lower part of the round and
have the butcher crack the bone.
Wipe the meat with a cloth wrung
out of cold water, then cut the meat
In small pieces. Wash the bones to
remove any small bits that may adj
here.

May writes: May I ask, as I am
soon to be a bride, if it is now nee
essary to get a license for a good
sized wedding cake, along with a mar
riage license? On account of sugar

NO TRACE OF LOST
 U. 5. ARMY AWATOnS
Machine Last Reported Fifty Miles South of CalexicO- Search is Being Made by Sev- eral Parties.

Robertson, IT,, missing from San Diego since last Wednesday, has been traced definitely to point 50 miles south of Calexico, but no information was made as to their actual where abouts.
 The message was from Col. Wilber E. Wilder, commanding at Calexico, to Capt. George c. Marshall, aide to Maj Gen. J. Franklin Bell, and said:
 Latest reports state that an Indian saw the machine turn southwestward south of Sierra aMyor at the southern end of Cocopas mountain, which would take it over the south end of Laguna Salada, where there is bare, level spot 20 miles long and six miles wide and which is now dry. One party said yesterday that the men are mak- ing for that spot Captain Funcke, guide and hunter, is conducting one searching party He knows every trail in the country. Cavalry sent by Governor Cantu of Lower California, and cowboys from Cudahy's ranch are also making for that locality"
 Gen. J. Franklin Bell, commander of the Western Department, left tonight for the Northwest. His instructions to Colonel Wilder are to find the men,"
 Bishop and Robertson were without authority in making the flight from here, and it is said both will be tried by court martial if they are found.

HENRY MCCAIN ASKS
 FOR A NEW TRIAL
Attorneys Also Ask for Release of McCains on Bond, Which is Fixed at $10,000 Each-Case John l.. Daniel Continued.

The attorneys for Henry Mccain who was convicted last Saturday of second degre murder and sentenced to 21 years in the penitentiary, appeared in court this afternoon and filed mo- lion for a new trial on grounds of certain technicalities in selecting the jury. The attorneys also ask that Henry. Mark and Joe Mccain be al- lowed bail which was granted by the court and placed at $10,000 each. They were given sixty days in which to prepare their case relative to the granting of new trial. If this is not granted it is believed that an appeal will be taken to the supreme court.
 The date for the trial of the other McCains was changed from March 12 to March 19.
 Other cases disposed of in the court today were:
 Josie Franklin, selling whiskey, plea sf guilty and sentenced to one year in the pen.
 Jim Anderson, selling whiskey, plea of guilty and sentenced to one year in the pen.
 The case Of State of Arkansas vs. John L. Daniel was continued until the July term of court. The case of Judge Eugene Rhoden of Conway county, charged with contempt of court, was also continued until the July term.

LAW MAKING MAKING
 GOOO START 2ND WEEK
Flood of Bills Awaiting to be IntrOduced-GOvernOr BrOugh Would Change Method of Handling Local Bills

Little Rock, Jan. 15.-The opening of the second week of the Legislature sees that law-making body started well on it's way, with a total of 101 bills and thirteen proposed constitu- tional amendments pending, and the first roll call not completed in the House for the introduction of new measures. Pockets and desks of mem- bers are bulging with billss that are awaiting an opportunity to be intro duced, and they range all the way from forcing the Frisco to stop train at Rudy to calling a constitu- tional convention.
 It is expected that the announced stand of Gov. Brough on local legisla- tion will have a great deal to do with that class of legislation. He declares that the evil of local legislation is one he proposes to overcome as far as possible, and that he will insist that any bill of that character must first have been advertised for thirty days in the community interested be- fore he will consider it.
 A large proportion of the bills al ready introduced have been local mea- sures, and comparatively few of them have been advertised. Under the ruling of Gov. Brough, it will be a waste of time to proceed further with them, and it is expected that the far seeing legislator will withdraw his bill and proceed at once to advertise it in his home paper as provided by the Constitution. Seven days of the session are already gone, and only 5 remain. Advertisements can ge start ed this week, and thirty days will leave about three weeks at the end of the session for the consideration of flood of local bills that each mem Der will be anxious to have passed At the last session there were about 800 bills, of which nearly 600 were local and special bills.
 The Governor says that there is still time to comply with the law which has been for years ignored. One reason for the stand he has taken Is the greater necessity of general legis' lation, and another is that frequently local bill, affecting only my own county, gentlemen" is passed without investigation of the other members although it contains jokers that are dangerous and unfair.
 There are bills and proposed amend ments pending to curb the evil of local legislation, one amendment pro- viding that all matters affecting a county shall be left exclusively to the quorum court. But this is long and uncertain method of reaching it, while it is conceded that the Constitution, ] if it's provisions were enforced, is suf- ficient in itself to reach the required end.
