THE market stalls are a real oasis
i during the latter part Of July. They
fairly CLEAN with every color OF Mother
Natures rainbow-a true forerunner OF
the autumnal harvest. The housewife
should fairly revel in the succulent per-
ishable foodstuffs and should plan q
meatless Sunday.
Fruits and vegetables are now at their
best. Green corn, when nicely cooked,
Is a welcome addition to the menu, and
usually the folks bemoan the fact as
the season closes that they never did
have enough corn. Watch the market
closely and when you find 1t at food
tide take advantage Of it and purchase
q dozen or two ears OF corn.
Many delicious meatless dishes can
be made, using the corn as tounda-
ton. and the family will surely enjoy
them.

Our own strike threat comes in the
railway work. For days the votes of
the rail union members have been
coming In to headquarters, the ques-
ton being whether there shall be a
walkOut because of the reduced wages
established by the federal railway
labor board and the working agree
ments and conditions decreed. The
vote of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen already has been counted
and is announced as being 90 per cent
in favor of a strike. The votes Of the
other brotherhoods are being counted.
and 1t is taken for granted that they
will solidly support the stand taken
by the trainmen. OF course this does
not mean that q strike Is a certainty,
for the final decision rests with the
brotherhood officials and grievance
committees Many of the officials are
very reluctant to issue the order that
will tie up the country's transporta-
ton facilities.

The senate has received majority
and minority reports from its COM
mittee on privileges and elections on
the Ford-Newberry senatorial election
contest from Michigan. In two re-
spects the reports agree-that Henry
Ford was not elected, and that too
much money was spent in the Michi-
gan primary. On all other major is
sues they dlverge. The majority re-
port clears Newberry of all charges,
including corruption, declares him the
duly elected senator and recommends
that he be seated. The minority re-
port, signed by Democrats, finds New
berry was elected by corrupt and H.
legal methods and recommends that
his seat be declared vacant. Final ac-
ton by the senate may not be taken
for several weeks. There is little
doubt as to what 1t will be. Mean
time, 1t Is understood Mr.. Newberry
will not attend senate sessions.
The War department has made pub
lie its plan for the creation of the or

basis that will permit the quick
mobilization Of more than 100000
fighting men. Twenty-seven infantry
divisions of the reserves are provided
for. numbering from the Seventy-sixth
to the One Hundred and Fourth, thus
preserving both In number and the
geographical location where each orig
mated the 16 wartime national army
divisions. The same territorial dis

areas Is followed as in the regular

forces Will be on IN identical basis,
with control decentralized from Wash
