HEAVY PENALTIES
 IMPOSED FOR
 VIOLATING RULES

Ten days suspension on all trans actions in food stuffs controlled by the Food Administration is the pen alty drawn by Garber Brothers of Hartford. Since last February, the Food Administration has had several complaints against the Garber firm about various alleged violations. The notice served on Garber Brothers ad- vises them that Federal Food Admin istrator Robert Scoville will take un- der consideration their application for a reissuance of their license after August '.
 Garber Brothers were cited to ap- pear July 15 for a earinhg on the charge of having sold wheat flour without the proper amount of substi- tutes. Daming testimony was given | by J. H. Garneau, a Food Admins tration inspector who examined the premises of Meyer Rosenholtz, a li- censed baker. Although MT. Garber denied the charges in general, it was established in substance that on Tues day, July g. Inspector Garneau found in Rosenholtz's bakery fifty 89-pound sacks of flour which had been deliv- cred the previous day by Garber. Some time during May. Rosenholtz had secured from Garber Brothers 25 1 barrels of rye four, which was then not one of the legal substitutes for wheat flour, a very recent regulation authorizing the use of not more than 5 per cent. of rye flour in bakeries.

 CEREAL SUPPLY

Argentine wheat exports the last week were 7,568,OOO bushels, against 5,432,00O bushels the preceding week, and the exports since January 1 have been 75,512,0OO bushels, against 29,- 392,000 last year and 58,672,000 two years ago. In addition to the enor- nous wheat exports the last week, eX- ports of corn from Argentina were 1S7, 900 bushels, flax 153,000 bushels, and oats 1,927, 900, or total shipment of 1885, 900 bushels. The enormous shipments from Argentina indicate the improved conditions as to tonnage and the effort which has been made to move the Argentine surplus before the new American and Canadian sur- plus arrived at the seaboard, ready for export. In addition to the heavy exports from Argentina, the Austra- lian exports have been running in the neighborhood of 750,00O bushels week, and the exports from India have been running about 250,000 bushels a week.
 North American exports of wheat have been small, but large of flour, and there is a possibility that the July exports of flour, almost entirely out of the old crop wheat, will amount to 2,509,000 barrels, or approximately 11,O00,000 bushels of wheat for the month. It is believed, however, that the exports of flour will very materi- ally fall off, while the exports of wheat will increase.
 The supplies of flour and other ce- reals on the other side are reported very liberal, both in English and French ports, and there is a fair sup ply in Italy. The Italian crop is be- ing harvested, also the French. The fact that the worlds exports for this week will amount in the neighbor- hood of 11,0OO,OOO bushels of wheat and four, mainly wheat, shows how liberally supplies are being forwarded, and this, together with the new crops on the other side, will make a vast difference in the urgent requirements which North America must meet at the beginning of the season, compared with the urgent conditions a year ago at this time. At that time the submarine losses made conditions critical, while at present the subma rine losses are the smallest for over a year and a half. the exports big and the stocks on the other side heavy.

TO MAKE A DUSTTESS
 ASH SITTER.

Procure a piece of 1-2-inch mesh wire about IS inches square. Re- move a 3-inch square piece from two corners so that three sides can be bent up to form a basket with one open side, then take a bar of IA inch round iron about six feet long and bend it to form the handle and fit along the top edges of wire basket, using some fine wire to bind the two securely together. To use this sitter simply open dampers to furnace to form a good draft, then use the sitter like a shovel. sitting the ashes in the ash pit under the grate after shaking it. In this way the draft from the furnace prevents the dust from blow ing about. When the sitter is full of cinders simply open the fuel door and return any unburnt coal to the furnace.

WOMEN WILL
 SERVE ON JURIES

Because of the serious shortage of men eligible to act in the capacity of jurors Judge c. c. Lemert, of anesville, O., is advocating the service of women in this field. It is proba- ble that bill making provision for women to serve as jurors will be in- troduced into the next session of the Ohio state legislature. It will be mo- ticed that many who have opposed Woman Suffrage because it would not prevent women from serving on the jury, are now urging that women fill the very positions that were con- sidered impossible for them to hold satisfactorily.

The Arkansas Constitutional Con- vention celebrated the nations birth day on July 4th at Little Rock by in cluding in it's draft of the proposed new constitution an article granting to the women of the state the rights of full suffrage. Under this consti- tutional act which was adopted with but one dissenting vote, the women of the state will be granted the right to vote at all elections and to hold office as soon as the constitution is adopted. An effort to deny the wom- en the right to hold office was defeat ed hy vote of 6S to 3.

PRESIDENT ASKS AID OF CON-
GRESS.

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. -Presi-
dent Wilson to-day laid before Con.
gress, assembled in joint session, his
recommendation for carrying out
government operation of railroads.
! Bill to carry out the President
ideas already had been prepared un,
der the supervision of the Depart.
ment of Justice and were immedi-
ately introduced with plans fol
prompt consideration in both House
and Senate.
EXTRACTS FROM MESSAGE.
Gentlemen of the Congress:
II have asked the privilege of ad.
dressing you in order to report that
on the 28th of December last, dur
| ing the recess of Congress, acting
through the Secretary of War, and
under the authority conferred upon
me by the act of Congress approved
August 20, 1916, I took possession
and assumed control of the railway
lines of the country and the sys-
TENS of water transportation under
their control.
"This step seemed to be.-impera-
lively necessary in the interest of
the public welfare, in the presence
of the great tasks Of war with which
We are now dealing.
LAS our experiences develops diff
culties and makes it clear what they
are, / have deemed it my duty to re-
move those difficulties wherever
have the legal power to do so.
''To assume control of the vast
railway systems of the country, is,
I
but to fail to do so in the existing
circumstances would have been a
much greater. 1 assumed the less
responsibility rather than the
weightier.
II am sure that l am speaking the
mind Of all thoughtful Americans
when I say that it is our duty as
the representative of the Nation to
do everything that it is necessary to
do to secure the complete mobiliza-
ton of the whole resources of Amer
lea by as rapid and affective a means
as can be found. Transportation
supplies all the arteries of mobili-
cation. Unless it be under single
and unified direction, the whole pro-
cess of the Nations action is embar-
Iassed.
"Only under government admins
tratiOn can an absolutely unre-
stricted and unembarrassed common
use be made of all tracks, terminals,
terminal facilities and equipment of
every kind, only under that author
ity can new terminals be construct
ed and developed without regard to
the requirements or limitations of
particular roads.
But under government admins
tration all these things will be pos
sible-not instantly. but as fast as
practical difficulties, which cannot
be merely conjured away, give way
before the new management.
"The common administration will
be carried out with as little disturb
ance of the present operating organ
izations and personnel of the rail-
ways as possible. -",- -
Nothing will be altered or dis
turbed which it is not necessary to
disturb.

An order by Mr.. Hoover, of the, Food
Administration, prohibits the manu-
facture Of beer in the United States
after December 1 next as war mea-
sure The reasons stated for making
said order are as follows The neces-
sity. of war industries for the entire
fuel output of the mines, the need of
conserving grain for use as food, the
strain on the, transportation system,
and the shortage of labor caused by
the army program. : Manufacturers of
near beer and soft drinks are also hit
by the order for the same reasons:
Manufacturers: Of bottles have also had
their fuel supply curtailed.s Under the
"bone dry" Dill passed by the house of
representatives last May and by the
senate last week and which is now in
conference, the manufacture of beer
and wine would be prohibited after
July 1, 1919, during the period Of the
war Hoover's order makes the nation
"bone dry seven month s earlier and
also makes congressional enactment in
the matter seem superfuous.
