Pomerene Defends
Hoover i'm Senate

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Praising
Hoover, a game seldom played in the
national capital, occupied some of the
Senate's time to-day, when Atlee Pom
creme, of Ohio, defended the Food Adj
ministrator.
Senator Pomerene, who was speak
ing against the proposal to increase
the guaranteed price of wheat from
S220-the Presidents ngure-to $3.50,
which was favored by the Senators of
Western states, was interrupted by
Senator Reed, who said Mr.. Hoover was
empowered to control wheat.
"On the whole, Mr.. Hoover has done
a great service to the people of this
country and to the Allies" Pomcrcne
rctortcd. "If it had not been for wheat
control, flour would have been $25 a
BARREL"
The Senator from Ohio sounded a
warning that delayed action by Con-
gress in fixing a standard price had
caused boarding by producers of wheat
and suffering to the Allies. Senator
Gore, OF Oklahoma, insisted that wheat
had virtually been Communicated by
the government, and therefore farmers
were entitled to go to court to have
just compensation fixed for their
seized property.
Senator Gronna, of North Dakota,
one of the original "wilful men" of the
Senate, rallied to the defence of the
National Non-Partisan League. He
said there was an organization in his
state which had been accused of being
unpatriotic and which had been "scan-
dalously misrcpresented."
II have been among them since
was a boy" he said. 81 know they are
patriotic"
Senator Gronna said he opposed the
fixing OF prices for any commodity, and
added that while he voted against
war, he knew it was his duty to do
everything to aid in its successful
| prosecution.

IMPRESSED SERIOUSNESS
 OF WHEAT SITUATION

Little Rick, Fe4. 4.-At the last meeting of the State federal food ad. ministrators, MT. Hoover impressed upon them very deeply the serious. ness of the present situation as it re. lates to wheat. Much has undoubtad- ly been accomplished in wheat conser- vation by part of our people. but much more is needed, and there must be more general participation bv all our people if we aye to avoid a bread famine later on in the season is message that is being sent to the people of Arkansas by the federal food administrator, Hamp Williams.
 The normal consumption of wheat in the United States annually is ap- proximately 572,0OO,OOO bushels. If this can be reduced by 25 per cent we will be able to ship to our allies an additional 190,000,0O0 bushels, which will give them 74S,OOO,OOO bushels. or about IT per cent of what they nor marrly need.

member it was farmers from whom came the first shots at Lexington, that set af1ame the revolution that made America free. If the farmers of today will grow we boys bread and raise meat, we will again put America free. This war is not a joke and before the end has come, we as American citi- zens will have to make sacrifice after sacrifice before we have accomplished our aims.
 The mothers of American soldiers are to be highly praised for the cour- age and loyalty they have so freely given. When the great conflict is over, we can look each other squarely in the fact and say we are glad to be Americans, and have had the privi- lege to play such a part.

ALICIA DILLARD WRITES
 FROM CAMP BEAUREGARD
Camp Beauregard, La, Feb. 1,

Camp Beauregard, La, Feb. l.
 For long time l have planned to write letter to my friends in good old Nevada county, though it seems that I could never find time. All the boys from Nevada county who are with me in F. Go. 153d Inf Regiment are enjoying the very best of health and seem to be in best of spirits.
 The daily routine of drill is some what excessive, though it is done with perfect willingness, as we are aware of the fact that we are sure to need all the latest "dope" of modern war fare before this great conflict is ended. We do not expect praise for what we have done or will have to do in this struggle, though we would like to speak few words to the men behind the blow, as we realize that the men and women who grow the food and feed stuff are just as essen- tial as we boys who face the German artillery.
 The men behind the blow and the Red Cross nurse deserve more credit than the men behind the gun. You re-

POET SURGEON IS
 DEAD IN FRANCE

Lieutenant Colonel McCrae died in a French hospital of pneumonia, fol- lowing an inspection tour. He had had distinguished career with the British forces. During the South Af- rican campaign he served as a lieu tenant of the line, and won the Queens Medal with three clasps for gallantry in action. When war began in Europe he went with the First Can adian overseas contingent as a major of artillery, and after considerable service, was, on account of his surgi- cal ability, transferred into the medi- cal corps.
 While he had written much of note, his poem, ''In Flanders Fields" is the most popular of his works. It has been used both in recruiting work and conservation and other war move ments in Canada, and is herewith re- published:

COMPROMISE IN
PROVISIONS OF
SABOTAGE BILL
fBy Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON. April 13.-Provis-
ions in the Sabotage bill penalizing
acts obstructing production OF war
materials were eliminated from the
! measure today by senate and house
conferees. The conferees also struck
| out the clause permitting labor to
strike for higher wages which the sen.
ate had rejected.
In removing these provisions the
conferees eliminated all penalties for
obstructing the manufacture Of war
materials but retained provisions to
penalize damaging supplies.
The agreement was regarded as a
compromise made In expectation that
it would be satisfactory to both sides
| and factions in congress and to pre-
vent death of other important legis-
lation in the bill by deadlock
No other changes in the measure,
which provides penalties of 80 years
imprisonment and $4,000 fine for
damaging great number Of essential
war materials including railroads,
bridges. live stock and factories were
made. One of the clauses eliminated

The other clause eliminated-an
amendment by Representative Lunn

controversy was centered because sen
