Cars of fruit and vegetables are
often dumped at large market termi-
mails but persons who witness this pro-
ceeding should not conclude that this
practice is uneconomic or done 10
keep up prices, according to men in
the bureau of markets, United States
department of agriculture. The whole
sale dealer is not in a position to re-
sort and repack damaged produce and
often enough decay is present to rem
der the produce unstable in its orig
inal container or bulk shipment.
Sometimes hucksters do go over the
damaged cars and salvage a limited
amount of food. More often, however,
the labor cost of such salvage work is
greater than the value of the products
saved.
Losses May Start on Farm.
There are many causes for loss Of
perishable foods between the farm
field and the market. Some of these
causes go back to the time crops are
harvested. Take potatoes, for instance,
which are injured in digging. Unless
these injured potatoes are sorted out
and not packed with the good pota-
toes, rot may develop in the shipment |
and spread rapidly to other pota ,oes
if the temperature in the
car is favorable for rot to develop.
Another source of great loss in per-
ishables is found in lack of care in
loading. The packages must be spaced
to permit air circulation and also
braced to prevent shifting. Tempera-
ture can not be controlled in loads
packed solid without any air spaces
between the containers, while bracing
must be carefully done or packages
arrive CONSUMING only part of their
original contents.
Although care in packing, loading,

FALL TELLS THE SENATE
THE LEAGUE DESTROYS
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT 7

Washington, August 1.--Presdent
Wilson, the League of Nations and the
German peace treaty We're criticised by
Senator Fail, republican, of New Mex
leo, member of the foreign relations
committee, in an address today in the
senate.
Urging adherence to the American
policy against European entangle-
ments, Senator Fan declared President
Wilson was asking the senate to join
him in "deadenng American patriot
ism"
The League of Nations, Senator FAN
said would create a great super gov
ernment, strike at the power of con
gress and result in the surrender of
American freedom. Other provisions
of the peace treaty We're declared by
Mr.. Fall to exploit weaker races and
nations and establish selfish rights.
The president appeals to the SEN
ate" said Senator FAN, ito join him
in oVerturning the American policy
of 40 years; in undermining every in
fluence with other nations which that
policy has created and maintained; in
deadening the influence of American
patriotism at home; in rendering obso-
lcte the word of patriotism, in our Vo-
cabulary; in joining this nation, now
possessing the confidence, respect ana
admiration of the people of the other
nations in bond of alliance with the
very selfish nations who have caused
our conduct to stand out in such bril-
liant contrast, and in a council where
#
be controlled by the vote Of eight of
these nations. We are requested-nay
we are communicable surrender our
freedom, to yield our sovereignty, to
subvert our government.
Joined with the other people of the
world in this so-called peace treaty
constituting only a fraction of the
governing body of the league; unable
within the league to impress ourselves
and our ideas and to make our de-
mands, as we could out of it because
of the fact that we delegate to others
the right to vote, eight votes to one
against us in any matter of selfish IN
terest in which they can unite; we
have not only destroyed the govern
ment of our fathers, but in my mind,
we have committed a crime against
the nations of the earth, against civ
iliZation itself and retarded for more
than a thousand years that reign OF
Christ which we all hope will even
tually bring the people Of the earth
together"
Regarding opposition to reservations
protecting the Monroe doctrine, Am
erican sovereignty, immigration and
others domestic questions, Senator tall
said that in 1912 every democrat, in
cluding many now in service, insisted
upon and voted for reservations to ar
bitration treaties then submitted by
President Taft expressly reserving
these questions.

POWERS AND POLAND IS
PUT IN SENATE RECORD

Washington, August IA copy of
a treaty between the big five" powers
and Poland said to have been signed
at Versailles on June 2S, was put in.
to the senate record today by Chair
committee who said it had been sub
mitted to the British parliament two
weeks ago.
The text of the agreement between
President Wilson and the representa-
tives of the other big powers for gov
ernment of the Rhine district also was
presented by Senator Lodge, who said
he had received a copy privately after
the document had been presented to
the British parliament
Among the provisions in the proto-
col is one requiring the government
to transmit to the allied and associated
governments within one month after
the treaty becomes effective a list of
persons who are accused Of having
committed acts i'm violation of the laws
and customs of war.
Another paragraph provides for the
appointment of a commission to super
wise the destruction of the German for
tifications on Helgoland, in accordance
with the German treaty.
Provision also is made that proceed
ings be taken against persons who com
mitted punishable offenses in the liqui-
dation of German property in the al
lied countries and the protocol says
the allied and associated powers Will
welcome information or evidence the
German government can furnish on
this subject.

Measures to Reduce
Food Prices Taken

Washington, August With
the cost of living problem put
squarely up to them as the chief
factor in the social unrest through
out the country, officials of the
government executive and legisla-
tive departments today were pom
dering the situation in an effort
to advise some action that would
result in lowering the prices of the
necessities of life, particularly
food.
While cabinet officers and heads
of various governmental agencies,
who were summoned to confer
ence by Attorney General Palmer
late yesterday to make n survey of
the problem with a view of deciding
what could be done by the law en-
forcement machinery to curb profi
eering, were seeking facts to sub
init at a further conference next
week, both the senate and the
house were considering various re-
lief measures.
Resolutions proposing investiga-
tions from various angles have
been introduced or are in pros
pect, while some suggest specific
action. One of these would request
the encouragement to stop specu
lation in food on exchanges an
other would reduce the volume of
currency in circulation, as a means
of debating prices; and still an
other would have this years wheat
crop sold at market prices instead
of at the governments guarantee,
the loss to be made up by the gov
ernment.

HAYS DECLINES "COP"
INVITATION To RUN FOR
INDIANA GOVERN0RSH|P

Brookville Ind, August 1.-Wil H.
Hays, chairman Of the republican ma
tional committee will not be a can
didate for the republican nomination
for governor of Indiana. He will con-
tnue to give his undivided attention
to the national craftsmanship. Mr..
Hays, in a brief statement, announced
his decision at the midsummer meet
ing of the Indiana Republican Editorial
Association at Magnesia Springs, near
here. today.
Chairman Hays statement follows:
1T is difficult for me to express the
gratitude which / feel for the assur-
ances that have come to me relative
to the governorship. The friendship
and confidence which these assurances
prove mean more to me than anything
else and move me very deeply

and distinguished honor in the COVER
norship of Indiana, but | cannot, how

my friends that | could do both, but

execution due each position if | have

course is clear. | must do the one or
the other. There is no doubt about
a complete republican victory in Indi-
ana and the nation, and it is simply
for me to decide where | may be able
to do the largest amount of good and
where my duty lies. This. l believe, is
in the work which | have in hand in
aiding insofar as is in my power to

victory so absolutely essential to the
country's welfare. Therefore, / shall

AND PRISON OFFICIALS
REPORTED IN ENGLAND

London. Aug. 1.-The Daily Herald, a
labor organ, in late edition says some
thing like $4,000 policemen and prison
officials throughout the country have
gone on strike. The newspaper declares
that the London men struck with dra-
matte suddenness and startling unani-
nifty, implying that the whole force
responded to the call. This is contrary
to all other newspaper reports, which
say that the call was generally ig-
nored.
The Scotland Yard authorities in
formed the Associated Press that up
to s o'clock this morning only 536 Of
the entire metropolitan force had failed
to report for duty and only one mem
Der of the city police.
No reports have yet been received as
to the effect of the strike call in the
provincial cities. but the belief is con
fidently expressed in official circles that
the strike will prove abortive through
out the country.
