BROADEN POWER
TRADE COMMISSION
American Barmen Would Provide For
investigation of all Breaches
Anti-T Laws.

ST. Louis, Aug. 26.-Broadeninr of
the power and Improvement of the
practice of the Federal Trade Conn
mission in order to bring about "a
more satisfactory administration Of
justice" by it was recommended in
the report of the committee on COM
merce, trade and commercial law.
presented at the convention of the
American Bar Association here TODAY.
The committee recommended that
the, commission be empowered to in
vestigate all breaches of antitrust
laws, and that proceedings in refer
ence to these laws should be trans
ferred from courts to the commission
with the right to appeal from the
commission to federal courts.
The report also recommended that
all cases falling within the antitrust
laws should be primarily instituted be-
fore the commission.
The Federal Trade Commission"
1t continued, having jurisdiction for
the purpose of investigation, ought to
be permitted not only to complete the
investigation. but to enter an order
in conformity with its findings sub
ject to right of appeal"
To carry out this suggestion, the
committee advocated amendments to
the Federal Trade Commission Law.
the Clayton act, and "all federal anti
trust laws"
The report also urged that the COM
mission render written opinions on Eat
least every new case coming before
it to establish system of law and
precedent that will enable the bust
ness of the country to know what the
law is on a given point.
The committee made no recommen-
dalton on proposed amendment to
the transportation act, which would
make craftsmanship of the Interstate
Commerce Commission permanent in
stead of rotating. The report stated
however, that the committee favored
such a plan.
Stressing the Importance of codify-
ing the law of sales in interstate and
foreign commerce and the law of COM
mon carriers in interstate and foreign
commerce, the report stated the com
mittee favored the drafting of bills
proposing to provide the necessary
legislation.

CAROLINA ASKS FOR
COAL SHORTAGE RELIEF

Washington, Aug 26.-An appeal to
the interstate commerce commission
to relieve the coal shortage in North
Carolina was made today by a delega-
ton from that state. Unless relief is
provided the situation there this win
ter will be serious. according to mem
bers of the delegation.
Judge r. II. Sykes of Durham de-
clared only IS per cent of the normal
coal supply had been received n North
Carolina up to last Tuesday. and that
prices ranged from $11 to s13 a ton.
The commission was asked either to
modify it's order giving priority rights
for cars designated to transport coal
to Lake ports, limit the expectation of
coal or to divert a part of the present
car supply for the purpose of trans
porting coal to North Carolina

CONTRACTSARE
TO Be SACRED
Chamber of Commerce of United
States Investigates Cancella-
ton of Orders.
CBy George II. Manning,

Washington. D. c., Aug. 26.-Cancella-
uon Of manufacturers orders are be-
coming so numerous and are interfering
50 seriously with business that the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States has made an investigation of the
':matter with a view TO correcting it be-
fore 1t results in chaotic business con-
ditions.
There is apparent danger that I'M
less definite stand is taken against
any tendency to regard cancellations
OF orders as uninportant, and to Guilt
waite a general feeling that an order is
to be considered more than d mere
memorandum, the evil may assume Sc
rious proportions, the chamber re-
ports.
The chamber undertook The inyesti-
cation in response to complaints from
members that production was being in
terfered with to the extent that plants
having had sufficient orders to run for
months, are now curtailing their cf-
forts or shutting down. even though
production OF their product Is below
normal and stocks in the hands OF
wholesalers and retailers are light. The
complaints protested that the sacred
ness of the sale contracts was being
disregarded and that the buyer was
willing to chance its legal enforcement.
The Investigation showed that most
of the cancellations Of orders was due
directly or indirectly to chaotic husl-
ness conditions growing out OF the war.
rather than to failure to recognize the
sacredness of a contract and the legal
force and responsibility of an order re-
ceived and accepted in good faith.
TO get to the root of the problem In
ouiry was sent to log leading trade as
sociations TO learn the situation.
An ANALYSIS OF the replies showed
that the responsibility for many can
celIations was chargeable in part 10
the seller as well as to the buyer. me
principal reasons given for cancela-
tions were: inability to make prompt
delivery: over stock; business declining
revision Of production schedule; Imam
cal embarrassment. Some replies lnol-
cate that the public will not puy al
present prices
The survey showed that several trade
associations have created a bureau u

DELAWARE COUNTY FARM BUREA
GETTING READY FOR SPRING

-
Before the rush OF spring work
comes ON It would be good plan to
look over the machinery that you use
for the coming season, making the
necessary repairs and getting the
machinery In working order. A half
hour spent now may save several days
during the busy season, We recall
one instance last year when a certain
farmer started out to cut grain and
found that his binder was not work
ing properly. He then recalled that
he had removed part Of the castings to
apply on other machinery. It re-
CURED over half q days work to make
the necessary changes and q trip to
town to get the machine in working
order. Every farmer knows what q
half days work may mean In harest-
ing time.
Arrangements should be made at
once for castings that will have to be
ordered. The dealer will then be In
position to get them In due season.
We submit the following points for
tractor owners to consider:
It would be well to lay In q
stock OF lubricants or Mbricating oil
for the season. Do not neglect get
ting the best oil for the tractor. a
poor grade OF lubricant will cause
more damage, wear and tear on i
tractor than one appreciated. Not
i until q machine is beginning to lose

A little attention now will save
annoying delays later and will in
sure the full amount OF power in the
busy season.
WATCH EWES AT LANDING TIME
The first consideration is q good
shelter for the sheep. Extra space
is needed at this time so place may be
,partitioned off for the eve to have her
lambs without being crowded by the
rest OF the flock. Young lambs are
easily affected by the cold and need
- warm dry place for the first few
days.
Feeding must be attended to q few
days before lambing. giving the eve
plenty Of clover hay and some ground
oats all the time but cut down the
amount to prevent feyerishness and
danger OF milk fever. After partur-
ition incresase the feed slowly. Allow
all the clover hay and silage that-the
eve wants but feed from | to 112
pounds only Of grain. This Is best
made OF mixture Of equal parts Of
oats. corn, bran an doiimeal.
Properly fed ewes should have no
trouble at lambing time II the lamb
Is In normal position. The shepard
must be on hand day and night to see
that the placenta (afterbirth) Is cast
and to get the lambs on their feet and
sucking. Give the eve all the warm
water she wants to drink after lambing
and see that no drafts strike the young
lamb. Clip the wool away from the
udder.
lEEP THE HERD ANIMAL THRIFTY
Keep the beef bull thrifty but not
fat, Is the advice OF X. G. keller Of the
animal husbandry department at Iowa
State College. Give him plenty OF
good nutritious food. Glover q: al
falfa hay with some corn. oats and .
little oilmeal are best for keeping him
IN good breeding condition. Silage
malEes good foundation for the ration
but must not be fed In large quantities
as 1t makes the bull potbellied and
sluggish.
