ing will be of a more permanent and
more comfortable nature. y
Work has already been started TO

sion. is now under construction and
will soon be completed Other
minor improvements are also under
way. IA

where to mail letters to their sons in
camp here. All that mothers need
to know is the name of the company
tc which their sons belong and mail
addressed to them will be promptly |
taken to the barracks in which the
men are quartered
The service company of the guard |
is now so well organized that it
claims to be able to deliver letters
to men if only the name of the man
IS given and it is sent here. How
ever, all who write Camp Dodge men
ire asked to make their addresses
rs complete as possible since the !
nail will be handled with less effort

Alfalfa Industry
Threatened By
High g Freights
Grain Men Complete Testi-
mony Before Interstate Com
merce Commission, In
Fight For Lower Rates.

Washington, Aug. 20-Grain men
of the west completed, before the In
terstate Commerce commission, their
description of agricultural distress
throughout the grain and hay pro-
ducing states and announced readi-
ness to begin their effort to show
that high freight rates we're respon-
sible for these conditions.
James NJ. Cassidy and Floyd Will
son. alfalfa meal mill operators of
Colorado, told the commission that
the industry was threatened with
total destruction through high
freight rates, since the principal
markets were on an average of 1900
miles from points of production. The
industry which has grown up in the
last Is years had furnished the car
rlers with considerable traffic. most
of which has been lost through high
freight, the witnesses asserted
]. P. Larson, secretary OF the
Iowa Cooperative Grain Dealers
association, testified that where it
had cost from 10 to II per cent of
the gross corn crop in his state to
move the crop to market in prewar
times, it now costs from Is to- 20
per cent. He explained the workings
of cooperative elevators in Iowa and
said that prices paid by the eleva.
tors were those of Chicago or Min
neapolis, less the freight and ham
ding costs. The farmer would get
the benefit of any freight rate re-
ductions, he said.

"Drys'' Win
Victory In
Conference
House Provision to Permit
Home Brewing and Clause
To Prohibit Search Of
Automobiles Killed.
Recess Plans in Danger

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, Aug. 2n--Rnth s"n-
ate and house amendments liberal
izing prohibition enforcement
emerged in a badly shattered state
from the secret sessions of the joint
conference committee which report
ed a complete agreement on the
Campbell-Willisa anti-beer bill.
Outstanding features of the con-
| ference agreement were:
Disappearance of the house provi-
sion interpreted as legalizing home
brewing and distilling.
Elimination Of the senate provi-
sions designed to prevent unwarrant-
ed search of automobile, baggage,
and other private property by pro-
hibition agents. .
Retention of the provision of the
original Stanley amendment adopt
ed unanimously by the senate to
protect private dwellings from in
vasion by prohibition agents, with
cut search warrants.
"Wets" Indignant.
The results of the conference were
viewed as a victory for the radical
"drys." Indignation ran high among
the "wets" and the more conserva-
tive "drys." The report was read
with such amazement that it threw
the entire Legislative program into
confusion and rendered recess pros
poets uncertain.
wet leaders, REINFORCED by
some of the less radical "drys" in
the senate made it plain that they
would never consent to the passage
of the bill in the form reported by
the conference committee.
They made no effort to conceal
their determination to filibuster
against the bill to the last ditch if
they found themselves unable TO
muster sufficient votes to reject che
conference report. They declared
thir intention of holding out indefi-
nitely against final action on the bill
if the house insisted on killing the
Stanley amendment.
Recess Plans Threatened.
In view of this apparent impasse,
the chief hope of recess now rests
on the possibility that the house may
refuse to support the conferees and
agree to accept the Stanley amend
ment. Another prospect, less promis-
ing, however, is that the weary con-
gress, bent on taking a vacation, will
refuse to stay in Washington to
wrangle about denying doctors the
right to prescribe beer as medicine
and will go on its holiday without
acting finally on the conference re-
port.
Two members of the conference
committee did not sign the report.
They were Senator Ashurst of Ari-
zona and Representative Dyer of
Missouri. Senator Ashurst openly
bolted the conference and washed his
hands of the entire proceeding after
the conferees decided to torpedo the
Stanley amendment. Although an
ardent prohibitionist himself, Senator
Ashurst contended that prohibition
enforcement has run to such excuses
that legislative measures are impera-
lively necessary to preserve the con-
stitutional rights of citizens.
Senator Sterling of South Dakota
laid the conference report before the
senate, but made no effort to take it
up today. He probably will ask the
senate to act on it Monday.

C.. o. P. Tax
Bill Passed
By House
Democrats Fail in Efforts to
Have Measure Recommitted
For Elimination of
Surtax Rates.
Final Vote, 274 to Us
BY The Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-The repub-
lican tax bill was passed late today
by the house after the democrats
had failed in an effort to have il
recommitted for elimination of the
provisions repeating the income sur
tax rates above 81 per cent.
The vote was 274 to 125, with
only a slight split in the party
ranks.
Before the vote, Representative
Mondell, republican leader, delivered
prepared address praising the tax
bill and saying it remained for a
later congress to fully revise the tax
schedules when we shall have
passed beyond the shadow of the
war overhang.'
Relieved Burden.
"In this measure, we have relieved
the burden where it is most clear
ly of an emergency character" he
said, "and relieved it and lightened
it for the benefit of every class and
in the nation.
1--WE have lifted rather than shift
ed the more oppressive and annoy
ing of the war taxes. We have kept
faith and while some will rail against
the measure, for purely partisan pur-
poses, it will receive the commen-
dation of the great body of the
people"
Mondell Cheered.
Mr.. Mondell was cheered from
the republican side. Representative
Connally, democrat, arose to ask the
republican leader to show him the
pledge in the republican platform
ior the relieving of the taxes on
men of large incomes. Mr.. Mondell
ried to get recognition to answer
out the house was in an uproar
which did not end until 3 o'clock,
when the way was cleared for voting
inder the plea.
Representative Cochrane, New,
FORK, rising to point of privilege,
,ffered a point of order condemn
ng President Harding for address
ng the senate July II on soldier bo-
lus to the exclusion of the house.
The democrats forced the first
oil call on Representative Mon
lell's motion to lay the resolution
IN the table, which prevailed.

HOOVER SAYS RATES
MUST BE LOWERED
Tells Farmers America Can Learn from
EurOpe-Granary Base May BE
Transferred Abroad.

WASHINGTON. April l6.-The whole
rate structure needs consideration as
to its bearing ON our future national
life" Secretary Hoover declared yester-
day before the conference of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau federation.
"Unless we can look forward to some
drop in rates." he said, I'VE shall re-
write the whole industrial geography of
the United States.
The present rate on bushel of grain
from Missouri points to New York is
30 cents a bushel, as against 10 cents
from Argentine to New York, he said,
and a continuation of this condition
would change the granary base from
the central states of the West to for
eign shores.
America, he continued, should take a
lesson from Europe, where the CONVEX
sion of agricultural states into indus
trial eenters because of the war is in
some instances imperilling their ma
tional defense"
we cannot have the United States
dependent on overseas for its food sup
ply" he declared. He added that it was
of primary necessity for the nation to
look after the protection of the agricul-
tural interests and see that they de-
velop along with industrial growth.
He welcomed the growth of the CO.
operative Marketing associations as
they would solve many OF the present
day problems

HOLY LAND Is HEALTHY.
Has Eight Months of Sunshine-Little
Tuberculosis Found There.

Palestine has natural possibilities OF
becoming one of the worlds great health
resorts according to a recent interview
with DIR. Henry Keller, New York phS-
stefan, former member OF the American
Zionist Medical Unit, which has been
wagine war on disease in the Holy Land
for over two years.
Palestine, owing to frs topography,
its variegated climate, its mountainous
regions of various attitudes and Its elghG
months of continuous sunshine, 10,
gether with its beautiful landscapes ana
picturesque environment, is destined 10
become the mecca for health seekers as
well as pleasure seekers" he said.
Sun baths, or heliotherapy, which was
used with great success by phys iclans III
the Alps in treating tuberculosis, espec-
tally of the bones and joints, could be
practiced ideally on the Mount OF owes
at Jerusalem, Mount Carmel at Hsifa
and in Safed, asserts DR.. Keller. lie
said he was particularly impressed with
the small number of tuberculosis cases
in Palestine, despite starvation and
other suiferings to which the poor were
exposed during the five years of the
war.
There are number of sulphur
springs along the valley OF the Jordan
or the GhOr, only in need of some at
tentiOn to make them worthy to com,
pete with the best sulphur springs OF
the modern world" he continued.
with the appointment of Sir Her
bert Samuel as high commissioner of
Palestine we hope TO have the co-opera-
ton of the government in our anti-ma.-

might reach the entire population. With

racing of TIE mountains and hills OF

thing of the past in the Holy Land.
Once the Holy Land is cleared of
