of profiteering comes now a state
ment from Commissioner of Agri-
culture Cannon, of Idaho, urging a
grand jury investigation of flour
milling operations in that state dur
ing the time Of price regulation un-
der the food administration. The
food administration, it will be re-
membered, represented to the coun-
try that it was limiting the profits
of millers to 25 cents per barrel.
Mr.. Cannon is quoted as saying that
prior to the price-fixing period, the
average profit on flour was 25 cents
per barrel, but that during the
year 1917 these same mills made an
average of SO cents on every barrel
of flour sold and nearly % per cent
on their investment, profits that are
indefensible, considering the fact
that one mill for six months of the
year shows as high as 81 a barrel. ="
Ever higher profits are alleged to
have been made in 1918 and 1919.

its control of grain until the end of

MAY REIMBURSE
FARMERS LOSS
Wheat Growers to Re-
ceive Money if Bill
is Passed

Reimbursement of the wheat farm
ers of the United States for the loss
es they suffered through the insti-
tuition of Herbert Hoover's price-fix-
ing policy while he was food admin
istrator, is provided in a bill intro
duced in the senate by Senator Cap
per of Kansas. The losses of the
Kansas farmers alone are estimated
at $4,000, 700, while the total loss
to the American wheat growers is
estimated at $240, 100000.
The bill by Senator Capper author
ICES the secretary of agriculture to
investigate and determine the
amount of losses and make the pay
ments from the 81, 100000 guar
antee fund which was given to the
food administration when it's organi-
cation was authorized. The meas
ure of loss is fixed at 60 cents per
bushel.
Explaining the bill, Senator Cap
per said: AT the time Hoover fixed
the wheat price at 1920 bushel the
market price of wheat was around
SO bushel. The farmers had har-
vested their spring wheat and were
ready to market it, when the price
fixed by Hoover was suddenly an
nounced. The result was they were
caught unawares and were. compelled
to sell at the fixed prices. They
suffered loss averaging 60 cents
a bushel. The men who had wheat
in their elevators already bought and
paid for suffered enormously.
THE wheat growers feel they are
entitled to a reimbursement from the
government for this loss. The bill
authorizes the secretary of agricul-
ture to determine the amount of the
losses, and to make the payments to
those who owned the actual crop of
1917 at the time the fixed price was
announced on August IL, 1917, and
who sold their wheat after that
date"

Salmon Turns Men
Into Human Magnets

DR.. John B. Ransom, in a report
which he sent Sunday to the super.
intendent of prisons, Charles A. Rat.
tigan, declares that thirty-two con-
victs at Clinton prison at Dannemora
were turned into human magnets as
the direct result Of some. peculiar
poisoning that has been battling the
medical experts for the last week or
more.
DR.. Ransom Is the prison physi-
clan. He called to his aid in probing
the medical mystery d. r. w. Lam
son and DR.. j. N. Roseneau of the
medical department of Harvard uni
versity, and DR.. Olaf Olsen, food and
drug inspector of the federal depart
ment of agriculture.
They discovered, according to the
report, that whenever any of the af-
fected men touched steel, sparks
would fly and their fingertips would
violently vibrate the filaments of
electric bulbs They traced the trou-
BILE to what is termed the deadly bot
ulinus germ, which they believe
emanated from canned salmon, serv-
ed to the men about three weeks ago.
While aware of the fact that this
germ generates electricity, they are
unable to understand how t he germs
have turned men into human cleo
trodes. Two of the convicts died of
the uncanny malady. Sixteen still
are surcharged with electricity and
their vision has been impaired.

HOW LUXURY TAX WORKS

Less Than Desk Alone.
The Paris Figaro tells the following
true story Of the working of the French
luxury tax:
A man went to one of the big furni'
ture dealers to buy writing table
Choosing one Of the least pretentiOus
pieces, he asked the price. 1T was 800
francs, which seemed rather high
The shopman, however, added:
1--WE will add this little arm chair.
It isn't dear. Only so francs"
"No. I don't want it. have quite
enough chairs"
Excuse me-" said the seller. IF
you buy the desk alone shall have to
ask you to pay the luxury tax, which
comes to 80 francs. But If you take
the chair as well / shall be able to
put down your purchases as suite
Office furniture. For this the tax limit
is 1.500 francs, and I do not have to
charge you on purchase Of $50
francs. Thus if you take the chair
you save 80 francs and have an extra
piece into the bargain"
AS a measure Of economy the chair
was bought.

BORAH ADVOCATES
CURLING EXPENSE
IDAHO SENATOR DECLARES THAT
FINANCIAL INTERESTS WILL
USE SLUSH FUND.
Advises Congressional Action to Reg.
ulate the Pre-Convention Expendi-
ture of Candidates for
the Presidency.

WashingtOn.-A direct charge that
big financial interests were trying to
buy the national conventions of both
the Republican and Democratic parties
was made in the senate on March 2G
by Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho,
in a speech advocating congressional
action to regulate the pre-cOnventiOn
expenditures of candidates for the
presidency.
Concentrating his attack on the
hackers of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
and Gov. f. O.. LOwden for the Re-
publican nomination, Senator BOrah
declared the managers were attempt
ing ITO control the Republican con-
ventiOn by the use of money" while
the Lowden organization apparently
was spending even greater sums to
gain support for their candidate. With
in ten days, he predicted, two Demo-
cratic aspirants, whom he did not
name, would be found spending quite
as much as any Republican in the
field.
The speech brought on heated de-
bate, during which Senator Moses, Re-
publican, New Hampshire, manager of
General Woods Washington headquar-
tiers, made general denial that eX-
cessive funds had been used in the
Wood candidacy or that any money had
been spent except "legitimately and
necessarily"
In the course of the debate, the
question of a third term for Presi-
dent Wilson was raised by Senator
Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona, who said
that "if any Democrat" were seeking
a third term, the people ought to know
of it. and oppose it. Senator BOrah
replied that he had evidence which
convinced him the president was try
ing for another nomination.
Senator Borah's speech was made
In support of a bill introduced to limit
the pre-convention expenditures of any
candidate to $4,000 in each state, to
compel any person or corporation max
ing contribution of more than 500
to give the donation publicity through
the attorney general, and to require
each candidate to make public, within
fifteen days before the convention and
again within thirty days after the con-
vention, complete list of contribu-
lions. A $4,000 fine and two years
Imprisonment would be imposed for
violations.

SOVIET REFORM
MARRIAGE LAWS
Bolshevist Code Places
Equal Duties on Wife
and Husband

LONDON.-A Russian wife is re-
quired to support her husband il she
be able to do so and he is unable to
work and in need of her support,
under the marriage laws of soviet
Russia. A copy of this code, trans
lated into English has just reached
London from the Russian people,
commissariat of justice.
1t provides that married persons
shall be expected to support each
other. Should one refuse and the
other be what is classed as a need
full" unfit to work, the latter has the
right to apply to the department of
social security to compel the husband
or wife, as the case may be, to pay
support.
Mutual consent of husband and
wife or merely the desire of one of
them to be freed from the other may
be considered as grounds for divorce.
Local judges are authorized to hear
divorce cases but their decisions are
subject to appeal.
Abolish Old Statutes
The matrimonial age is fixed at
eighteen for men and sixteen for
girls. Both must be of sound mind
and mutually DESTROYS Of marriage.
Differences of religion or vows Of
celibacy are no impediment. Mar
ried persons may choose to bear the
surname of the bride or of the BRIDE
groom or their joint names. Mar
riages contracted in accordance with
religious forms are not binding un-
less the union is registered under the
prescribed form of civil, or sovietist
marriages. Old forms of marriage

forging together of men and women"
are abolished.

Animals Develop Cure for
Olive Poisoning.

1t was serum prepared by veterinary

in treating forage poisoning of horses
that saved the life of Lima Delbane,
after the other six members of her
family had died from eating poisonous
olives in New York recently, accord

The serum was made from the blood
of sheep that had been immunized
against bacillus poisoning.
In investigating forage poisoning Of
horses the bureau made extensive ex-
periments with serums and discovered
there were two strains of bacillus
botulinus. They look alike and the
pOisOns they create produce the same
effect, but immunization against one
does not afford immunization against
the other. The two strains are COM
monty known by the government in
vestigatOrs as 1.-THE olive strain" and
the Cheese strain.'' Three instances
Of olive poisoning, one in Michigan,
one in Ohio and the third in Montana,
were all caused by the "Olive strain"
The veterinarians, therefore were
reasonably certain that the serum
affording protection against the poison
generated by the "Olive strain" would
