FEDERAL TRADE COMMITS
SION WANTS PROOFS
FROM PACKER S FILES
Say They Can Prove
Criminal Conspiracy
Assertions Made That Men on
Food Administration Boards
Helped Monopolists Get Cor
ner on Butter, Eggs, Poultry

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S-The federal
trade commission today asked con-
gress to enact special legislation per-
mitting the seizure of papers from the
files and vaults of corporations where
crimes were charged and where in
vestigation is being made by the com
mission. The request submitted to
Vice President Marshall by Commits
sioners Colver, Fort and Murdock
points out in an accompanying letter
from Special Council Francis ]. Hen
ey the resistance that the commission
has met in securing correspondence
from Henry Veeder, general counsel
for Swift & Company, and claimed
by Heney to be the clearing house for
the big five packers in maintaining a
criminal conspiracy"
The federal trade commission holds
that the right of appeal from an order
issued by the United States district
court should be questioned by the con-
gress, as Judge Landis already had
authorized United States marshal tc
secure the papers. Following the TAX
ing of the papers, Veeder applied to
Judge Baker, OF the United States
circuit court of appeals, for allowance
of a writ of error to prevent the
marshal from removing or examining
papers from Veeder's vault, and from
further examining any in a valise al
ready removed. Judge Baker allowed
the writ, pending a motion from the
United States district attorney, in
other words preventing the govern
ment from examining papers already
in the hands of a marshal
CHICAGO, Feb. 2S-Through alleged

storage butter, egg and poultry supply
of the country and have frozen out
small dealers, according to charges
on file today before the federal trade
commission.
Francis ]. Heney, attorney for the
federal trade commission, gave rev
elations of the alleged lobbying act
ivities of the packers, presenting
letters which indicated that John q
Eversman, secretary Of the National
Republican national congressional
committee, had entered the employ o.

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 2S.-Conflict-
ing interpretations were placed upon
advices received here today as to the
German operations on the eastern
front. Apparently orders had been is
sued to the Germans to discontinue
their advance, but whether this per-
tanned to the whole front or to indiv-
lidual districts was not plain.
According to one report the Ger
mans in Pskoff district had been or
dered to halt their movements, but
whether this was caused by the pros
poets of peace negotiations or the Ger
mans were waiting for reinforcements
was not clear.
Pskoff had been the scene Of furi-
Gus fighting between the Germans and
detachments of Bolshevild troops. 10y
al Russians reinforced by workmen
gave determined battle to the Ger
mans in the Pskoff district and the
city changed hands several times.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, the
German chief of staff, is said to have
gone to Dvinsk and to have ordered
a cessation of hostilities in the Sec
ton between Mohilev and Vitebsk.
This indicated that the continuance
of the German operations extends over
a considerable part of the front.
News of the new order following SO
closely upon the rumors of dissen-
sions between Berlin and Vienna and
the report that Austria is baking
against a renewal of hostilities against
Russia caused considerable specula-
tion here.
A powerful German fleet has been
sighted steaming northward through
the Baltic at full speed according to
} information received. This led to a
report that the Germans were prepar-
ing to attack Petrograd from the sea-
WASHINGTON, Feb 2S.-An appar-
emily important conference was held
at the White House this afternoon.
President Wilson, Secretary of State
Lansing and Colonel e. M. House, the

closeted for more than two hours. 1t
is supposed they went over the recent
Won Hertling peace utterances and
the latest information that has come
in concerning the Russian debacle
After the conference Colonel House
said he would return to New York to-
might.
The state department today con
tinued without any further direct
word from Ambassador David r.
: Francis. Officials said they were with
out confirmation of the London and
: Stockholm reports that Mr.. Francis
and his staff had started eastward
from Petrograd. Inasmuch he he had
notified the department of his inten-
tion to leave Petrograd, officials said
, they were not greatly concerned over
his movement, and hardly expected a
: report from him until he arrives at
: his temporary destination.

polygamous marriages IN the following

"The question Of allowing Germans

This is a patriotic Idea. Germany

If your town falls down on this

Commercial Clubs Should Act
Take the matter up at the next

special meeting. You have influence
enough to do 1t or have it done. Here
is what Clarence Ousley, assistant
secretary Of agriculture Of the United

ITO render this assistance to the
farmer and to the nation, the local
commercial club or business mems
association should appoint labor rep
resentative or a small and active COM
mittee on farm labor. This labor
representative or committee should
make q canvass of the business men,
clerks and others In the town who
have had farm experience and who
are willing to close or leave their
places of business on certain days or
afternoons, or for long periods, and
60 out on the neighboring farms to
help. This labor representative or
committee should either get in touch
with the farmers themselves or with
an agent representing the farmers,
such as the master of the Grange, the
president Of the union, the manager
Of the cooperative creamery or store,
or the county agricultural agent, and
ascertain just how many men each
farmer can use to advantage during
good weather and particularly during
certain rush periods In planting, cul-
tivating, or harvesting. With this in
formation on the farm labor needs
and the number Of workers available,
the committee can assign the men
who have volunteered to help In this
emergency to the various farms In

How to Candle Eogs.

II you are going to put away some
summer-laid eggs for winter use-as.
Of course, you are, 1t being both pa
triotic and personal duty-you will
need to exercise considerable care that
only good eggs are put in the water

bad egg is likely to destroy several
others. BY consistently gathering the
eggs when they are fresh, most Of the
danger Of storing bad eggs is avoided,
but since 1t is necessary to hold the
eggs until sufficient number Is ac-
cumulated to fill the container. and
since some eggs are imperfect when
they are laid, Gambling, where 1t can
be done without too much trouble ana
delay might well be practiced. The

ture has just issued bulletin on "How
to Candle Eggs" The text Is brief

POINTS ON MARKETING EGGS
Refrigeration Maintains Quality,
Weight, Fresh Appearance and
Higher Food Value.

prepared by the United States Depart

A stale egg pleases no one. Heat is
the fresh eggs enemy. Cold Is its
friend.
The shorter the time and the more
direct the route of the egg from the
oest to the packing house, the smaller
the opportunity for loss.
The sooner the egg Is put under re-
frigeration and started to market, the
finer its quality when 1t reaches Its
dnal destination and the higher its
value. Don't give the eggs hot time
In the old car.
To make a good, marketable prod

dirty, as well as turkey and duck
eggs, should be removed from the
frat grade and packed separately as

Keep eggs cool. Cool the egg and
cash the check. Goodness and cleanli-
ness mean more cash.

NOTE ALL FARM HAPPENINGS
Records Mako Reference to Them
Easy and They Become Valuable
When Memory Fails.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Simple accounts Of the everyday
happenings on the farm will often be
found Of great value. Every farmer
makes note when calf is born or a
sow farrows. Many do so mentally
only, but 1t is none the less note. II
such notes are written down In a way
that makes reference to them easy,
they become Of much use In supplying
needed information when memory
fails. Notes recording other every
day happenings often prove useful.
Among these may be mentioned the
dates when animals are bred, men
hired or discharged, accidents occur.
pasture season begins and ends, first
and last frosts occur, incubators are
set, spring work begins and fall work
ends, seed time and harvest occur, etc.
Such notes as these when systematic
cally recorded and constantly referred
to are of much value. They enable
one to take proper precautions as to
feed and care Of animals prior to the
birth Of young, thereby often saving
both mother and offspring. Disputes
with hired men as to wages are avoid
ed by recording when they are hired, a
wage agreement, and all amounts sub
sequently paid them. Accident rec
ords are of value when seeking redress
for damages, pasture data when figur-
ing on feed supply. and frost and other
weather data in planning the years
work.

MARKET DEMAND FOR

Commodity viii Now Bring Good
Margin of Profit to Farmer.
Large Number Of Horses and Mules

Increased Prices for commod-

prepared by the United States Depart

Nearly a third of million Of
horses and mules have been removed
from farms and ranges and placed in
army camps. This has increased the
market demand for straw for bedding
several hundred tons per week.
The prices at army camps and large
markets have naturally Influenced the
price of this commodity on local mar
kets, and the straw that was formerly
burned or allowed to be trampled
down by stock will now bring enough
on the market to leave good margin
Of profit to farmers over the cost of
baling and shipping. The market price
of straw Is now between So and $50
per ton, and there Is good demand
for almost any kind Of straw.
Farmers who are not in the habit
of selling straw, but who can advan-
tageously do so, should bale their sur

The remedy for this is to keep the

young birds, except the few needed
to keep up the flock, as fast as ready

giving them little food occasionally
