FOOD DEALERS
BEYOND POWER
OF FEDERALLAW
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, March /. - Attorne!
General Gregory advised Senator
Borah that no evidence had beer

in two or three cases, to warrant the
federal government in seeking in
dictments in its investigation of the

attorney general said, generally falls

federal law, no matter how completely

matter how extortionate.'
A possible remedy the attorney
general said might be the making by
legislation "the charging of extortion-

nopoly."
Attorney General Gregory expressed
his views In a long letter e. the Idaho

MAKE IT A BIG CROP YEAR
Editorial in Minneapolis JournaI.)

Whatever may be the cause Of the
high cost Of iving-and. no doubt
there are q number of contributing
causes-it Is the duty as well as ia
the interest of this country to make
1917 as big crop year as is humanity
possible.
Every sort of crop we raise is need
ed, and in as large quantities as can
be raised. Stocks Of foodstuffs are al
the lowest ebb. The wheat bins will

In many year. Corn 10 so high that
many cattle and hogs have been
slaughtered, rather than feed them
such high-priced food. Beans have
reached the luxury stage. Canned
vegetables Of all kinds are priced on
high level, and the contract prices
for the coming seasons pack, already
being made, show that good prices will
be paid for all the vegetables that can
be raised this coming summer for the
canneries.
The lesson of the situation is plain.
The farmer who seeds every possible
acre Of land, using good judgment in
diversification, will not only do man
kind service, but will reap fat profits
for himself. Only thus can the cost
OF living be brought down to a reason
able level, 80 that prosperity shall
abide with us.
But the saving Of the situation by
good crops does not all reat with the
farmer. though he must be our main
