Any review Of tho splendid live

tiles OF Harney that failed to consid-
er the range would be far from COM
piete. Preliminary steps looking TO
the Improvement and enlarging OF tho
range carrying power have already
boen taken by the main station and
the Harney branch station. This
will be effected as largely an possible
by working for a system OF manage
ment that neither overstocks nor un-
derstocks any part OF the range. by
development OF watering places. and
by increasing the ratio pf edible
range plants and grasses with clim-
ination or control OF poisonous plants.

CLERKS ASK ELIMINATION
OF OBJECTIONABLE CLAUSE

The Federal Employees Union has
asked the Senate Military Committee
to correct what is regarded as an ac-
cidental omission in the army bill of
provision for forty-three civilian EN-.
ployes of the small permanent force
of the chief of staff Of the War De-
partment.
1t is expected the omission will be
remedied.
A delegation of employees Of the De-
partment of Agriculture waited upon
Senator Gore, chairman of the Senate
Agricultural Committee, to ask his aid
in eliminating the amendment secur-
ed by Congressman Mclaughlin OF
Michigan, in the House. The effect of
the amendment, il was pointed out,
would be to bar employees of the Agri-
cultural Department in Washington
from all promotion the coming fiscal
year. Senator Gore promised to give
careful consideration to the appeal
made by the employees to have the OBJ
jectionable provision omitted

MUTUAL LIFE HAS
SUCCESSFUL YEAR

Another prosperous year added to
the many prosperous years in its long
and successful history, may be said
of the Mutual Life Insurance Com

policy holders since the organization
of the company in 1S43.
The. company's finances are in a
flourishing condition. It's assets, now
S673,714,2s4, show an increase of $39,-
714,724 over 1917, and the surplus or
contingency reserve, is S15,731,076.
The total amount of the company's
new business for the year was $685.
920,3S9-a generous increase over that

ance in force on the last day of the

TO HEAR BANKERS
ON WILLIAMS CASE

Republican Senators insisted today
that before John Shelton Williams is
reconfirmed as Comptroller of the
Currency, officials Of the Riggs Bank
and Of the Guaranty Trust Company
Of New York be heard as to alleged
unfair treatment at the hands of the
ccmptrolIer's office.
Williams challenged Senator Weeks
to cite a single case of unfairness.
Senator Mclean of Connecticut came
to the defense of Weeks, who was
absent.
81 understand Senator. Weeks did
present what he thought was such
evidence" Mclean said, and backed
up Weeks request that the banks be
requested to appear in their own be-
half.
Williams objected TO introduction in
the record of letters criticising the
comptroller without including the
names Of the writers.
There are many bankers opposed
to your denomination who are afraid
to make their opposition publicly"
Mclean replied. He added that II
there was the least inclination on the
part Of the comptroller to be dicta-
torial and to run his office on harsh
lines, any banker could be made to
suffer.

FINDS SCHOOLMATE
ASENENY SOLDIER

The world Is not so small, after all.
What Arthur P. Phelps, formerly OF
LaGrel Nd, and now a member of the
S12th machine gun battalion in the
army Of occupation, thought was the
last thing in the world happened to
him recently. He tells Of it in a let
ter to his sister:
Il went over to call upon some OF
the Twenty-third engineers today,
and on my way had to pass lot OF
German prisoners VIC had captured in
our first drive, and one of them yelled
my name. To my surprise 1t was a
boy whom went to school with up a
public school No. in Laurel
what do you know about this?
~IIe asked me about Miss Annie
Wilson. who taught us, and also If
father w6s still keeping store.
"L was not allowed to talk to him
long, for IL is against the rules to
talk with them"
Phelps was employed in the audit
ing office Of the navy yard before he
was inducted into the army and sent
to Camp Meade.
'TWe surely did knock Fritz right
and left, night and day, when the war
was on, we being in two drives and on
three fronts" he writes, "and we
made the national guard and regular
army sit up and take notice"

cases, the permanent troops turn ou'
and collect duckboards from store
houses, with which temporary tIoor'
ing IS made. The big dock Kitchen
was completed, the kitchen crews also
used to turn out and get up meals foi
the newcomers, no matter What the
hour.
The tented areas are we'll drained
regardless of the rain. The new
comers are warm and dry before
night. The next morning they are
given a breakfast of braised beef
cornmeal mush. bread and jam ol
syrup and coffee. They are given q

Dinner consists OF ros st beef, mash
ed potatoes, brown gravy, salad (usu-
ally made OF cold beans. onions. to
natoes and pickles). peach cobbler
coffee and, of course, bread. Fol
supper they have Turkish stew, baked
beans, creamed potatoes, bread pud-
ding, bread and coffee.
This is one days typical menu fol
men and officers alike. The menus
vary among the kitchens, and from
day to day. The result is there is
keen competition for the prize given
the kitchen judged to be serving the
men best-a weeks leave every
month. Sometimes. as a consequence
the men get hot cakes and doughnuts
for breakfast, pie for dinner, etc.
The amount Of food allowed 20
each man is unlimited. He can repeat
the whole dinner il he desires. Feed
ing is done on exact schedule, by
which it is impossible for a man to
spend more than thirty minutes go
ing and coming between the barracks
and kitchen, usually about twenty
minutes. This would seem to dispose
Of the idea that the men stand for
hours in the rain waiting to eat.
While 1t is never necessary to en-
courage the men to move rapidly To
get their food, one negro serving a
negroes mess, seems to think Il Is.
The correspondent watched him
ladIing out rice pudding, shaking his
ladle from side to side, and crying:
getg
Plenty In the Pot.
The first time he did this the diners
eyes popped out as they watched the
last grains pour Off the ladle, where
upon the ladIer would grin and dip
up great ladlefulls into the waiting
plates. Meantime. another server
would be crying 'This way to the
hash barrage"'
Altogether, the kitchens are a
merry place.
It has been seriously charged that
the men are compelled to wash their
own mess kits. This is true. The
washing consists Of dumping the
refuse in garbage cans, then dipping
the aluminium plates, cups, and spoons
in big tanks Of constantly hot water.

This will permit the discharge OF
enlisted men whose services hereto
fore could not be dispensed with, ow-

work involved in the rehabilitation
Of the army.
There will be 1,5OO such appoint
ments, but enlisted men who desire
to remain will not be replaced. The
LAY of the civilian appointees will
range from $1,000 to $4,000, with 2

PRICE Of milk TO
DROP BY MARCH |

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 21.-Milk
prices will drop March /.
On and after that. date the price
will be cents a pint and 10 cents
a quart, as against the present prices
of 91a and 16 cents. The price has
been puTposely decreased more on
the pint than on the quart in order
to help the poor and those who have
rot been using as much milk as here
tofore.
This reduction will be general
that is, all local milk dealers will
lower their prices. In some few in
stances this cut may not go into
effect on the first day of the month.
but will be effective the beginning
of the next milk week thereafter.
In other. words, where a customers
week starts on Monday the reduction
viii be effective on March 3 instead
of March I.
The cut will not affect the price Of
hutter, and it Is not thought It will
feet the price of condensed milk
-tdst yet, although both these COM
modities may tumble a little later.
There is one cheering bit Of news I'm
the announcement and that is that
probably the price OF glass Of milk
in local lunchrooms will come down
10 the old price of . cents. At pres
ent luhchrooms are charging from S
to 10 cents per glass.
It is understood that this tendency
Of milk prices to drop is general anu
that Philadelphia and Washington are
also cutting their prices.
Now that the prices have started to
decline, with the continued surplus
which will prevail until well into the
summer, it is even probable that there
will be further reductions.
