DELIVER POTATOES TODAY
Ton Bushels a Family and Cash Must Accompany All Orders, Is Rule of Farm Committee.

The special committee of the Mu nicipal Farm commission, appointed to arrange a method of crop disposal, met last night and decided to curtail the sale of potatoes to 10 bushels for each family that makes application. The price is $1.90 per bushel at the storehouse and $1.95 delivered. The first deliveries were made today, Mrs. Emil Sund of 157 Fairview street re- ceiving the first allotment. Thus far orders have been received for more than 200 bushels.
 The committee decided that the men in charge of each of the store houses shall make weekly inspection of the potatoes to protect against rotting or freezing. Other rules were adopted as follows: A man perma- nently in charge of the storehouses; all orders for potatoes to be sent to the War Bureau in city hall accom- panied by cash; daily deposits of money received from the sale of po- tatoes; War Bureau clerk to be given receipts by auditor for all payments; no delivery of potatoes to peddlers or their agents; and the keeping of a daily journal of potato orders by the War Bureau clerk. The clerk will be at his office In room POI in City hall daily except Sundays and on Monday and Saturday evenings. He will also be in the office at 12:30 o'clock moons to accommodate men en route to their daily work. No telephone orders will be received and cash must accompany all written or verbal orders.
 Ralph Wainwright, superintendent 0P has QprQ06 fn oq4iSf in c posing of the potatoes and with the aid of Dennis O'Keefe will weigh the potatoes and deliver them.
 The Municipal Farm committee will meet on Thursday evening when re- ports will be received from committee. and at this time Chairman H. s. Tal lArd will probably secure the neces 0ary data from which to compile hi complete report which will be pre- sented to the common council nex Wednesday evening.

The senate today took up the bill's
section which would authorize the
president to commander factories,
packing houses, mines and other plants
and to operate them and fix employees
wages. There Is considerable oppost
ton to these proposals.
Pending final decision by congress
on the liquor question, revenue and
other related problems cannot be
worked out.
Stubborn opposition still confronted
the bill today, both because Of the gen.
eral food legislative features and the
prohibition section. Some senators
hoped to secure reconsideration Of the
senate's vote for government purchase
Of an existing distillery stocks.
Senator Curtis presented resolu-
ton for submission of a national pro-

asked its immediate consideration,
stating, that In view Of congressional
action upon the liquor question the
time is opportune. Objection by Sen.
