LET PEOPLE BUY
U. S. EXTRA FOOD
Demand Of Republican Mem
bers Of House War Probe.
CHARGE PACKERS PROTECTED
Accuse War Department Of Keeping
$12o, ZOO, 900 Surplus Off the Market

$120,000,0oo Surplus on the Marker
Washington, July %. - mmedi-
ate sale of the $12O,OOO,000 surplus
stock of foodstuffs held by the war
department under plan which Will
..'insure. opportunity for the people OF
the United States to buy" was recon-
mended by the ten Republican mem
hers of the house war investigating
committee.
The five Democratic committeeman
withheld decision, pending a review
of evidence taken by a subcommittee.
The inactivity Of the government in
the disposition of these food supplies
was and is the result of well-defned
policy Of the secretary of war to with
hold them from the domestic market
and to protect the interests from
which these products had been puF-
chased said the subcommittee report,
drafted by Representatives Reeyis,
Nebraska, and MacGregor. New York,
Republicans.
Chairman Graham, of the full com
mittee, was instructed to ask for
special rule on a resolution calling
upon the war department to sell the
goods. Efforts will be made to bring
the resolution before the house next
Monday, Graham announced.
The report criticised what it de-
clared the departments "non-activi-
ties in the sale of very large quanti-
ties of food supplies now. held in stor-
age" and asserted that six. months
elapsed before any surplus stock was
declared, while Gin the meantime the
food; was deteriorating and becoming
of less value and the high cost OF
living continued"
The report estimated that on July 8
last the value Of surplus food stored
in the United States over and above
the needs of the army were as follows ::
Corn beef, $24,000,0O0; bacon, $685.
100000; hash corn beef, $1O,OOO,O0O /;
roast beef, $20,500,O00; fresh frozen
meats and poultry, $20,000,000; can
ned vegetables, $23,00O,O0O. E
"Inexcusable delay" the report de-
clared, resulted in the spelling of mil
lions of pounds of ham and bacon, it
being asserted that Notwithstanding
the authorization of surplus by the
chief of staff on November 80, 1918,
no action was taken with reference to
declaring a surplus until May, 1919,
six months after the declaration was
authorized"
Sales of army foodstuffs in the
United States aggregate $12,000,000,
said the report, adding that "a very
large quantity of that sold was spoiled
and unfit for the general market,
otherwise it would not have been
placed on SALE"
Attack on the present plans for sale
of the surplus stocks also was con-
tanned in the report.
"This plan adopted by the govern
ment," declared the report, "will not
result in the sale of these products to
any, great extent, for the reason that
municipalities, under their charter,
hav no legal authority to purchase
food products for sale. Many munich
palities which have indicated desire
to purchase this food for the benefit
of their citizens have been met with
the threat Of injunction on the part
of the local dealers, which threat has
been sufficient to prevent a purchase
0f the goods"

SENATE MAY TONE
DOWN LIQUOR BILL
Some Of More Drastic Pro-
visions VIII be Touched Up.

Washington, July %. - Prohibition
enforcement legislation met further
delay when the senate judiciary sub
committee, considering the senate en-
forcement bill, again failed of a quor-
um. Committee members said the
house enforcement measure would not
be taken up before Monday.
There is a belief that the senate
will not accept the Volstead bill as
PASSED by the house, but will tone
down some of its more drastic pro-
visions.
It is believed the section prohibit
ing the transportation of a private
stock of liquor for personal purposes
will be stricken out, as some sena-
tors contend that congress should not
deprive a person of liquor lawfully
procured and held for his own con-
sumption just because he moves from
one house to another.

Washington, July 25.-George II.
Gushing, managing receiver of the
American Wholesale Coal association,
told the house rules committee the
public is to blame for the coal fam
Inc which the country probably will
face next winter.
"Thre is plenty of coal in the

coal it will not be mined
Mr.. Gushing, said coal produced be-
fore April L had been burned and
production since then had fallen short
of the yearly demand by at least 1885,
100000 tons. Part. OF this shortage
can be made up, he said, if coal. or

". c. I. U. NOTES

The annual institute of Medina
County W. c. T. u, held at Leroy
last Thursday evening and Friday all
day, was a fine success as to quality
of program, but somewhat of a fail
ure as to attendance on account of
much rain and very bad roads.
The meeting Thursday evening was
we'll attended and Mrs. Lucy VanKirk
of Granville, editor of the "Ohio Mes
lsenger," was the speaker of the eve
ming. The L. T. Us entertained
the audience with drill and songs.
Friday morning Mrs. Jessie Lee led
the devotional, reading a portion of
Matt 6, and stressing the need Of
more earnest prayer life.
Mrs. Bessie Dowd, greeted the Wis
itors in well-chosen thoughts and
words Of welcome and Mrs. Minnie
Durling of Wadsworth, responded.
The recording secretary, Mrs. Ross,
of Sharon, was not present, and Mrs.
During acted as secretary pro tenn.
Mrs. VanKirk was presented and
told how the local union lays the
foundation for county, state and ma
tional work. She made plea for
"Ohio Messenger" to be read by every
local woman, that she may be inform
ed as to what others are doing.
Several superintendents gave help
full suggestions about the aims Of
their departments. Mrs. Davis of
Flower Mission department said 400
bulbs had been planted in Medina to
raise flowers for sick and shut-ins, etc.
She reported, too, that Wednesday,
June II, had been selected by the su-
perintendent Of the infrmary as the
day when people from all parts of the
county would take flowers and reading
matter and pictures and treats to the
infrmary for the inmates.
The guests will carry a box lunch
and each union furnish two numbers
for the program.
One very enjoyable feature of the
day was the picnic dinner.
The afternoon session consisted o1
continuation of business, duet BY
