Hoover Says U. S. Is Facing Most
Serious Period in Its En-
tire History.
He BLAMES RAILROADS

in Shipping AI!ies-Earnest Co.
operation Called for by
Administrator.

Washington, Feb. 23.-With regard
to food the most critical period the
United States has ever faced will
come the next two months.
This was the statement OF Herbert
Hoover, United States food admins
traitor. Earnest cooperation is called
for.
Food Administrator Hoover d.
clared that in many of the large con-
Stunning areas reserve food stores are
at the point of exhaustion.
The whole blame Is put by the food
administrator on railroad congestion,
which, he says, also has thrown the
Food administration far behind in its
program for feeding the Allies. The
only solution he sees is greatly In.
creased rail movement of fOOdstuffs,
oven to the exclusion of much Other
commerce.
McAdoo Resents Blame.
1t was very evident that the railroad
administrator is inclined to resent Mr..
Hoover's blame of the railroads, and
Director General McAdoo declared he
was ready to provide every transporta.
ton facility for expediting food move
ment. The Railroad administration,
he said, had suggested that farmers
be urged to release their grain hold.
ings that large numbers of available
cars might be utilized in moving them.
Cereal exports to the Allies, Mr.. Hoo
ver's statement says, will be 45,00O,OOU
bushels short by the end of February.
and meat shipments also are far
short of the amounts promised.
Inability to move the crops, Mr..
Hoover sets forth, has suspended the
law of supply and demand and has
created price margin between pro-
Queer and consumer wider than it ever
was before.
Much Corn About to Spoil.
A large part of the corn crop is
about to spoil because it Is not NOV.
ing to terminals for drying. The per:
centage of soft corn in last years
crop, all of which must be dried If II
is to be saved, 1s the largest ever
known. Estimates place the amount
as high as billion bushels.
The cost of grains for feeding live
stock has increased to such an ex'
tent by reason of transportation dir
f1culties, Mr. Hoover says, that feeders
are confronted with the prospect OF
serious losses. Dairying interests,
too, he declares, are hard hit.
Potatoes, the food administrator
says, are spelling in the producers

Second Increment to Consist Of 500,
COO Men-Hope for Peace This
Spring Believed Gone.

Washington, Feb. 21.-According to
an order awaiting the signature of
Secretary of War N. D. Baker, the
draft of the second increment of $780,
900 men to the National army will be
initiated on or about May 1.
Under the tentative plan the govern
ment will begin May 1 calling to the
training camps each week approx
mately 10000 men of Class 1 regis
trants, as recently reclassified.
Decision Significant. {.
The men thus called will supplant
an equal number who will have COM
pleted preliminary training and will
be ready for transportation to France.
AS transport capacity increases, the
weekly draft of men from Class 1 will
be increased.
Significance attaches to the admins
tration's decision to draft the second
increment in May. Secretary Baker
recently said that no date was under
consideration and that the draft of
another increment depended largely
upon developments abroad.
Hope For Early Peace Fades.
1t is inferred that the administra-
ton has about given up hope of peace
this spring and is preparing for an
other year of warfare. 1t also Is In
ferred that the developments abroad
have emphasized the need of Ameri-
can troops as fast as they can be
mustered and trained.
AS soon as Secretary Baker gives
the order his approval it will be trans
mitted to Provost Marshal E. H.
CrOwder.

out by the Senate interstate COM

designed to reduce by about $f73,-
100000 compensation to be paid the
railroads. 1t was beaten, 50 to %.
In effect Senator Cummins pro-
posed that government compensation
to the railroads should cover only
normal dividends paid during the last
three years, and that earnings above
dividends should be retained.

Calomel acts like dynamite on slug

Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents
which is a harmless vegetable sub

a spoonful and if it doesn't start your

without making you sick, you just 90

besides, it may salivate you, while
