THE Secretary OF Agriculture has

vested in the President, and that these
powers should not be exercised by the
Department Of Agriculture, but by an
emergency agency. He has also en-
tcrtained the hope that Mr.. Herbert G.
Hoover. especially because OF his
familiarity with International food

President To discharge these pswcrs
during the war. He is greatly pleased

FUTURE OF OTTAWA
MENDOZA LINE HAS
NOT BEEN DECIDED

The fate OF the MendotaOttawa cleo
trio line will be decided by the con-
tracing firm represented by j. f. Ne
Cord, if the tenor OF meeting held in
the SUPERVISOR room Saturday alter
noon is taken as a criterion The ses-
sion was attended by thirty-hye or
more wealthy farmers residing in
Waltham and Wallace townships. and
was addressed by Clarence Griggs and
James r. Farrell oil the Chamber of
Commerce, Attorney A. Il. Buffers. Mr..
McCord and W. c. Nittum, who has
been associated with the promotion
end of the line almost since its incep-
ton as a Feasibility.
Mr. McCord was informed that the
$l45,C0O needed to finance the project
could be raised and turned over TO
the company upon completion of the
road, being held in escrow until the
last spike was driven and cars were
in operation. Any other proposition
did not meet with favor and Mr. Me
Cord was unable to give any definite
or final answer, until he had notified
his company. of the condition confront
ing them. Many farmers in the audi
ence announced they were willing to
give large sums toward financing the
line, but they would not turn their
cash over until it was completed.
Mr. MeCord stated his people
would be willing to place a S145 900
bond TO insure against any Of the mon
ey being wasted before the line was
finished, but said they thought it nee
essary to have the cash now in order
for them to borrow against it. The
farmers were none too kindly toward
this proposition on grounds that liti-
cation might follow that could be
avoided by placing the money in es-
crow.
AT a meeting in the near future final
disposition will be made of the matter,
but not until Mr.. McCord has receiv-
ed last instructions from the firm he
