FARMERS SEELOOT
BYRA|LS DIRECTORS
National Council Urges Law to
Prevent lnterIooking Boards
Under Private Ownership.

A nat demand will be made on
Congress by the Farmers Nationai
Council for legislation Ito prevent the
looting OF the public through inter
locking directorates OF industrial,
financial, and transportation compan-
les before the railroads are returned
to private ownership.
RAILROAD directors under private
ownership OF the roads earn their
stock holders bread through the roads
revenues" says George u. Hampton,
managing director of the council,
but they get their cake by being
directors and stockholders OF indus
trial and financial companies with
which directors deal and from which
they buy supplies for their roads.
THE old Wall Street crowd wants
the railroads returned so they can
get back to the old system OF buying
every year hundreds OF millions OF
dollars OF goods for themselves, from
themselves, at prices satisfactory 10
themelves as seller. Under Govern
ment control this was cut out"
The council declares that the In
dustriaI corporations In which rail-
road directors are interested are max
ing enormous profits and the return
Il the roads will help them keep up
their profits. In 1917, the income OF
the Baldwin Locomotive Works was
more than double that OF the average
net income for the three pre-war
years. The net income OF the Pitts
burgh Coal Company was about seven
times as great; of the United states
steel Corporation about four times as
great; and OF the Lackawanna steer
Company, nearly fourteen times as
great. as in the pre-war period.
sThe Cummins bill guarantees the
railroads @ per cent upon full capital

huge prices for supplies to companies

MACMILLAN DESCRIBES
LAND OF THE NORTH POLE

The picture Of the bleak, frozen
North, UNIT as a habitat for human
beings, was dispelled last night by
Donald b. Macmillan, arctic explorer,
who lectured before the National Geo
graphic Society at the New Masonic
Temple.
Food and flowers that rivalled in
their beauty and delicacy of charm
many of the most favorite types of
the temperate zones were described
istic of the far northern regions.
Eiderdown duck eggs may be found
as far north as there is land and they
may be gathered by the boatload, Mr..
Macmillan said. Besides the duck
eggs, the walrus and seals provide
the principal sources OF food.
THE Eskimo and the Eskimo dogs
are the white mans friends in the
northern regions" said Mr.. MacMil-
Ian. without the Eskimo dogs,
Peary would not have discovered the
North Pole. In the four years that
we were marooned on the northern
coasts OF Greenland, waiting for a
rescue ship to come to us, l never
saw f'st tight among the Eskimos
nor heard a cross word from any OF
them"
when tho rescue ship came, Mr..
Macmillan said, II brought news OF
the world war. which seemed almost
inexplicable to the Eskimo. He could
not understand why Germany should
wage war to secure more land when
there was plenty to be had around the
North Pole.

LADY ETHEL Wins
WAR BIRD HONORS
Little Filler Center of Interest at
Show Exhibiting Army's
Winged Messengers.
By JEAN KNOTT.

Among the feathered bipeds OF the
pigeon section OF the seventh annual
exhibition Of the National Capital
Poultry and Pigeon Association,
which closes its five-day showing in
the Palace Hall tonight, are quin-
tet Of the most famous military
homers in the country, IL not the
world.
Chief among these five well-known
army fliers Is Lady Ethel, n trim lit
tie blue bird whose reputation as the
fastest and most dependable message
carrier in the A. E. f. was recognized
by all the bird men OF the Signal
Corps and jealously acknowledged
by her envious colleagues. Lady Ethel
did not get to the front as soon as
some of her companions, but her
fame spread far and wide soon after
her entry into battle.
Have War Records.
From the point OF service, Lord Ade-
'adie is the most grizzled veteran Of
the recent war. Arriving in France
with the first contingent OF tanks he
served with that rough-and-tumble
corps through every offensive that
they survived.
President Wilson, another blue
homer, balances himself upon his re-
naming leg with the same assurance
that marked his heroic work at Cha
teau Thierry when, with all other
means of communication cut off, he
got through" with an important m es.
sage. despite the fact that a Hun
'shottgunner" had torn off his leg.
Further evidence of the cruel ef-
ficiency of the German pigeon snipers

Last but not least is an unnamed

that he's a Hun at heart

VEGETABLES SCARCE AND
VERY HIGH IN MONTANA

Green vegetables are scarce and
expensive in Montana this spring,
Carrots and beets which should be
plentiful are scarce in all the cities,
and some days they are not to be had
at all. Tomatoes are much the same.
Asparagus is to be had at about So
cents a bunch, the prices fluctuating
from day to day. Head lettuce is a
bit more plentiful and less expensive.
But many housewives claim that they
find it still much cheaper to buy the
canned vegetables, although the
fresh green things are tempting.
And fresh fruits are worse than
vegetables, they say. Oranges run
as high as 81 a dozen. Strawberries,
35 cents a box and in a box only
about enough for one plentiful help
Even rhubarb is expensive, 35
cents for two pounds, and then it
takes so much sugar to cook it.. And
sugar is soaring in price, which
means, of course, that the prunes
and dried fruits that so many house
wives fall back on when fresh fruits
are prohibitiye in price, are also an
expensive dish.
