FOR THE PRESIDENCY

Chicago Feb. "a Mitchell Palmer.
attorney general of the United States.
VIII be Il candidate for president. The
attorneygeneral spent few hours
here today en- route to Kansas City.
He was elAseted with political advis-
ers. who said after the conference there
was no doubt he would come out an q
candidate for the nomination.
Mr. Palmer refused to discuss his
prospective candidacy He confined his
talk with newspaper men to the high
cost of living. Profiteering is on the
ebb tide" he said. The high cost Of
living, so far as IL is influenced by
dealers seeking unreasonable and UNI
just profits through the sale of their
wares. has reached its peak These
facts are reflected in information which
has reached the department"
Mr.. Palmer said it was necessary to
increase production completely to
eliminate the high cost of living.

ASKS FOR RECESS
Immediately upon the converting OF
the house Delegate Gilpin offered a
resolution to adjourn until February
10. on account of the prevalence of
influenza. He said he had determined
to make this suggestion after an in
formal conference with the COVER
nor, the lieutenant-governor the
speaker Of the house and state health
commissioner Ennion G. Williams,
DR.. Williams happened to be In the
hall, and, upon the suggestion OF
Delegate Prince. the chair was vaca-
ted for the commissioner to review the
influenza situation and give his idea
as TO what should be done in the
premises.
DR.. Williams told the delegates he
would not advise adjournment as a
health measure, but, from what he
had been told OF the number of men,
bers stricken with influenza, he
thought perhaps 1t might be advis.
able from an economic standpoint,
since many members could not attend
to their duties. This, however, he
said. was a question which must be
decided by the general assembly and
not the state health commissioner.
He did advise that as few meetings
as possible be held in tho close,
stufry committee rooms in the base
msut, nfs the Capitol 80;
In speaking Of the influenza situa-
ton. DR.. Williams said. in SUBJ
stance
II consider the situation serious
and It is becoming more 70. Most OF
the cases are mild and the fatality
rate ia lower than during the last
epidemic, but there Is every indicA-
ton that the disease is sweeping the

WILLIS OBJECTS
Floor Leader Holman Willis was
strongly apposed to. adjournment.
The sum and substance of DR.. VIII
liam's statement" he.eaid. lis that
adjournment would be. of doubtful
value. But one thing. Is not at all
doubtful. and that is that members
VIII not stay here after the sixty-day
limit has expired. The very man who
gets ap and talks periodically about
serving over time without pay is the
first man usually to buy his ticket
right after the speech and 70 home.
To adjourn now would be a pusillan-
inlous quitting on the job and would
put US in the position OF spreading
this disease into sections. which
haven't 1t now"
Delegate Andersen made practically
the same statement. as did Delegate
0zin, who was Of the opinion that
such action would make the general
assembly appear utterly: Ridiculous.
The resolution was voted down by
an overwhelming majority.
Dr. williams said last night that
Virginia now has a little more than
10000 cases Of influenza. OF which
approximately 5000 are in the rural
sections. On February 4. the num-

DISCRIMINATION
ALLEGED Discriminatory Rates
Charged Against Feed
Raised in N. D.
(Bv United Press)

Bismarck, April 9.-Charges in
discriminatory lake and rail rates
against northwest millers, and the
fact that dairy farmers are
compelled to pay freight back from
the middle western mills on feed or
iginally raised in North Dakota has
led to the Minnesota Millers' club
to declare for the grinding OF more
northwestern grain at home.
It is charged that -four shipped
from Duluth by way Of Great Lakes
to Buffalo and then by rail to New
York is charged 5k cents more per
100 pounds as compared with snip
ments from Chicago over the same
route. .. -
In the latter case the rate, 1t Is
charged, is % cents, while In the the
former, it is 271s cents.
Protests from millers and dairy
men over the northwest are coming
to the capitol here asking for stops
to remedy the situation.
It is charged that the discrimina-
ton is an effort to kill Lake Superior
traffic.

PEOPLE ON FARMS
LIVE THE LONGEST

Life on the farm is the healthiest
and safest, according to statistics
compiled by the United States bu-
reau OF labor showing the average
age at death in various occupations.
The farmer and the farm laborer live
longer than otner workers. -.
This does not "seem Longer"
which, it will be remembered, is the
point in the old joke concerning the
longevity Of married folks contrasted
with bachelors and spinsters-ft is
longer, and official research records
prove it.
Farmers live to the average age OF
5S.5 years, blacksmiths are given
three years less Of life, and masons
and brick layers die at an average
age Of Sc. The list tapers down to
bookkeeper and Office assistants who
| are given an average life Of not more
than Sc years.
