Stronger control over consumers
who hoard as we'll as enforced conser-
walton on the part of hotels and res
taurants is the aim of the U. S. food
administration in additional legisla-
ton which it will foster before con-
gress. From the statement issued in
Washington it is apparent that the
food department recognizes fully the
extent of the damage done by the ex-
cessive buying on the part Of the pub
lie. 1t is also pointed out that there
is no need for rationing in this coun-
try, since there is a sufficient supply,
and with the supplementary legisla-
ton asked, Hoover anticipates no trou-
BILE in controlling the situation. He
says:

Haynes, both of Roseburg county,
were the principals in gun play in
the state capitol Saturday, following

to Haynes stomach, according to a
statement by Haynes. Haynes, Crum
said, had accused Judge Crum of be-
ing pro-German. The two were sep

rants have been issued.
Judge Crum said later that he had
had a pistol, but that he had not
pointed it at Haynes, whom he had
thought was about to assault him.
The encounter took place in the cham
bers of Attorney General Ford, on
whom Haynes had called to see if
Hall and Just could be prosecuted

her Sind birthday the 9th Of February.
"A group of her old time friends called to
congratulate her and extend their good
wishes for the future. Mrs. Lehman
has always been very we'll until the past
winter when she suffered an attack Of
the grippe and later a relapse so that
she has been rather poorly the past
winter. She is recovering now, however,
and hopes to be as strong as before
when the warm weather comes. Mrs.
Lehman came to New Ulm in 1857.
Her husband had come here in 1856 so
that both of them went thru the Indian

removed to New Ulm.

After the meeting the executive COM
mittee got together and looked over the
applications which had been received for
the position Of county agent and decided
to give the job to A. E. Webb Of Sheridan,
Wyoming. Mr.. Webb was for two years
teacher of agriculture in the Sleepy
Eye schools and is considered well
qualified for the position, is a hustler,
good speaker and man who will
readily make friends.
There is absolutely no question that a
good, conscientious county agent will
be Of benefit to the farming interests of
this county, and it is to be hoped that
the man who has been selected and who
has accepted the call will prove that
very person.
