oanixatloh Affects
keokut<.

The operation In the lower half OF
1ee county Of the plan Of Attorney
ceneral Palmer, to have the old and
disbanded food administration fix
nrices On necessities of life in every
Community, In handicapped by the abb
sence of officers of the former food
administration
I F. Deems. state food administra-
,or for Iowa, is at Cape Cod, Massa-
shusetts. and ]. F. Elder, food admin
istrator for the south half OF Lee
county. is In the Maine woods some.
where.
The telegram the attorney general
sent ]. f. Deems, according to the
Washington dispatches, would so to
burlington and be relayed from there
10 Iowanna Lodge on Cape Cod, miles
from A telegraph office and in vii
lage without telegraph wires. Then,
MI Deems telegram to J. F. Elder
here would find the latter in the
depths OF Maine.
Both Head Men Inaccessible.
No telegram on the subject had ar
lived at the office Of J. F. Elder at
noon today, and the order can hardly
reach Keokuk until tomorrow.
The plan OF the attorney general for
the local price fixing committees will
not permit the reappointment of the
old committee Of the same name
. which operated during the food admin
istration. That committee. headed by
Harry r. Culkin, consisted Of one re-
taller. one jobber. one producer and
one consumer.
The new price fixing committee to
reduce the high cost OF living Is to
consist of one grocer, one retailer OF
dry goods, one producer, one jobber,
( one representative of organized labor.
one housewife, and two or three repre-
sentatives of the general public.
EntirIy Different From Old One.
The functions of the new commit
tee are entirely different from those
of the old food administration commit.
tee
The food administration simply de-
,termined and published the proper re
tail price Of foodstuffs, for informa-
ton, by adding certain authorized
profits to cost price.
The new committee, under the plan
OF the attorney general VI the OHileo
States, will have much wider and
stronger powers. It will include shoes
and stockings, clothing and hats, as
we'll as food in its field.
Instead Of merely publishing what
retailers ought to charge. it will deter
mine what they shall charge-or get
into trouble. Attorney General Pal
mer says he will prosecute In the fed
eral courts any merchant selling any
thing for higher price than the local
committees price list.
How It viii Operate.
While the committee will have no
standing in law, if the, attorney gen.
eral Of the United States prosecutes
| in the federal courts everybody dis.
obeying their advice, this will be
about as deterrant as giving the Com
mittee power to put profiteers in Jail.
There is not the least Idea here who
! will be the Keokuk price fixing COM
mittee, with both j. F. Elder and ]. F.
Deems completely inaccessible.

PREHISTORIC HICKORY NUTS
youths Companion)

Among the fossils recently discov-
cred by the United States Geological
Survey are remarkably well-preserv-
ed impressions or casts Of leaves Of
several extinct varieties Of ash, oak,
beech and hickory, which were found,
with three present day species, in
States bordering the Gulf of Mexico.
Although the leaves themselves have
rotted and gone here and there some
we're buried in soft clay by sediment
in such a manner as to leave perfect
ly preserved Impressions. The nuts,
on the other hand, neither decayed
nor petrifed, but fell into pools Of
water, which is one of the best pre-
servatives in nature, and sooner or
later we're also buried under silt and
clay. Owing to their hard shells, those
that fell into places favorable to their
preservation are today in excellent
condition, although slightly flattened
by the long soaking and the gentle
pressure Of the clay. The deposit in
which the leaves and nuts were found
is not less than a million years old.
