HOOVER WARS ON
THRESHING PRICES

Efforts to save farmers millions
of dollars excess threshing charges
are under way by the food admin
istration. With harvest beginning
in the great wheat belt reports of
profteering by threshing machine
owners are reaching the food ad-
ministration. Some farmers are
being held up for a threshing fee Of
80 cents a bushel ON wheat. In
creased machinery costs and labor
shortage are given as reasons.
Farmers, held down by the fixed
1920 wheat price, are unable to
pass this charge along and must
bear it themselves. An average in
crease of cent bushel threshing
fee would cost farmers about $10,-
100000.
Hoover is organizing threshing
committees in every wheat growing
county to determine a just thresh-
ing fee. Threshing machine owners
are being licensed and will be under
the supervision of the threshing di-
vision of the food administration,
newly created to handle the prob
lens, of harvesting.

PLEA FOR SERVICE FLAG
IN HOUSE AGAIN MADE
Representative Treadway Also De-
clares Flag Over Speakers
Chair Not Ofacial.

The National House OF Representa-
tives wants service flag for its men,
bers who have gone to fight for human
liberty and "to make the world safe for
democracy"
The House also wants a flag hanging
over the Speakers rostrum that is an
official up-to-date flag.
Representative Treadway OF Massa-
chusetts impressed these facts in a
speech on the floor yesterday. He re-
ferred to the fact that one member of
the House had made the supreme sac
rlfice." He chided Congress because
while every other establishment
throughout the land is flying q service
flag the House has not done SO.
Several other members have spoken on
the same subject recently, and q resolu-
ton has been introduced seeking that
end.
Representative Treadway called atten-
ton to the fact that the nag over the
Speakers chair is not an official flaS on
account OF the arrangement of the stars.
He said that this Is the time above ali
others when the flag Of the United States,
the ofdcial nag, and no other, should be
displayed in Congress.

and Eastern Situation
Are Cited.

AMSTERDAM. May 4.-German news
papers are greatly concerned over the
effect on the country and the army of
the rejection by the lower chamber of
the Prussian diet of the equal suffrage
measure. The Berlin Tageblatt speaks
of "limitless disappointment" and
deep indignation" and says that in
its effect on the broad masses Of the
people there is danger which should
not be underestimated
The Vorwaerts says: ut has been
rightly pointed out to the government
from many sides that no one can say
how long this war will last and what
trials it will still impose on the people.
A couple Of weeks of rosy optimism
has been unable to blind the clear

The bulk of the new American Army
