LITTLE HOPE OF
AN ADJOURNMENT
CONGRESS MADE SLOW PROGRESS
AND ONLY A FEW BIG MATTERS
rfAVE BEEN ACTED UPON.
WASHINGTON, February 7. —Presi-
dent Wilson and capitol leaders would
have congress speed up the legisla
tive program and get away from
Washington early in the summer. The
Senate has made very little progress
with legislation this session, which
began two months ago. Most of its
time has been taken upwith investiga
tions. The House has done better;
It has passed four of the thirteen
big appropriation measures.
The Senate has passed a few bills
of minor importance, but has not con
sidered any of the larger measures.
Inquiries into the war department,
the sugar and coal shortage, the ship
ping board, the railroad situation, and
the aUged disloyal utterances of Sena
tor La Follette at St. Paul are under
way. Because of these investigations,
conducted by the Senate committees,
the Senate has adjourned three days
at a time to give senators opportunity
tr attend the hearings of their com
mittees.
Some of the Senate leaders are im
patient with the investigations and
would turn now to legislation, so as
to complete the work here and get
back to their states for the fall cam
paign. x
Efforts at speeding up will be made
this week. Several of the investiga
tions will close. The inquiry ;lnto
the cause of the shortage of sugar
and coal is practically over and a
partial report may be made in a day
or two. The railroad inquiry is over.
The La Follette investigation will be
resumed witnin a few days and con
tinued to a finish.
To date four appropriation bills
have been passed. They are:
Postojce appropriation bill, Dec.
IL
Urgent deficiency bill, Dec. 14.
Indian appropriation bill, Jan. 23.
Agriculture appropriation bill,' Fem.
2
The House has disposed of several
other bills and resolutions. Among
them are the amendments to the con
stitution submitting to the states pro
hibition and woman suffrage, voted
Dec 17 and Jan. 10, respectively. An
amendment to the fderal farm loan
act was voted Jan. 4. The “Garabed”
resolution offering a free energy device
to the service of the government was’
adopted Jan. IS.
The House, however, has hardly
got a running start on its legislative
programme. There remain eight big
appropriation bills, to which will be
added various deficiency bills. They
are. Sundry Civil, Diplomatic and
Consualr (next to be taken up in the
House). Naval. Army, Military Acad
ehy. Fortifications, District of Co
lumbia and River and Harbors.
Practically every measure on the
president's programme designated as
war legislation is yet to be consider-
These includ.: sbi seae
ed. These include:
At least two food bills, daylight sav
ing bill, railroad bill, financing bill,
bond bill, revenue bill and bill to re
move statutory obstacles to the busi
ness organization of the departments.
In addition to these are numerous
smaller measures pending before the
Committees on Merchant Marine and
committees on Merchant marine and
fisheries, military affairs, foreign af
fairs and post office and post roads.

Hurley to Visit Savannah.
SAVANAH Ga., February 7.—L. N.
Hurley, chairman of the federal ship
ping board, is planning to visit Sa
vannah in the near future. He ex
pressed great interest in Savannah,
indicating .that this interest is compel

TEMPORARY SCARCITY
< OF MEATS PREDICTED
ATLANTA, Ga., February 7. —A
temporary scarcity of freshmeats is
aproaching and probably will be felt
in Georgia in the next week or ten
days.
Conservation will have to be prac
ticed and substitutes must be made to
take the place of fresh meats, says
Dr. Soule, federal food administrator.
Fish can can well be used in place of
inch of the meat we have ben conslm
ing. Some kinds of fish are unusually
plentiful in our market just now,
fortunately, and all the seasonable
kinds are easily accesible.
On official information from Wash
ington Dr. Soule has issued notice to
all local administrators in Georgia
o, the approaching fresh meat short
age, and has given positive direction
that there must be no increase in
prices because of scarcity; in fact
Dr. Soule's order is as much a formal
notice to retail meat dealers as it
is a warning to the public. The no
tice to all local administrators is:
There is likely to be, in the next
week and perhaps for some time
thereafter a temporary scarcity of
fresh meat, especially in the east.
This is due, not to lack of suplies of
livestock but to difficulty in transport
ing the meat.
“The normal tendency of such a
scarcity would be to advance the price
io retailer and consumers out of line
with costs of production. This must
not hapen. The food administration
has instructed meat packers not to
sell at prices representing more than
normal average margin above cost and
t j distribute such meat as is available
fairly among customers.
“Your are directaed to enforce this
-9J o) eauou oaiS pinoqs nox ’.lepao
tail dealers in meats and substitutes,
therefore, that they must not at this
time charge prices giving more than a
normal average margin above cost
and that they must distribute such
meat as is available fairly among
their patrons.
“The food administrator will, after
investigation, direct packers and
wholesalers net to sell to any retail
er who is proved to have violated
this instruction. ' .
“Unless the conditions in acme
states are locally peculiar there will
be little, if any, increase in the prices
of livestock or the cost of production
of meats during the near future and
any material advance in the prices of
meats is therefore unreasonable.”

years Identified with the operation
and management of the Hotel De Soto,

10 EXTEND POWER
OF FOOD CONTROL
WASHINGTON, February 7.—With
the agricultural appropriation bill out
of x the way, the House committee on
agriculture will turn its attention to
legislation designed to grant Food Ad
minisstrator Hoover additional pow
ers for handling the food conserva
tion problem. «
There will be some opposition to
“the plan to grant further general pow
ers to the food administrator but as
the whole weight of the administration
will be thrown in the balance for this
legislation if it becomes necessary, it
is regarded as practically certain that
jvhatever Mr. Hoover asks for will be
granted by Congress.
The war is now regarded as largely
a rationing match between the allies
and Germany, and reports of grave
food conditions in Great Britain,
France, Italy and Belgium are being
received.
While the response to the request
for voluntary rationing has been
gratifying, there has been an element
difficult to reach under the voluntary
plan. In the final analysis, the suc
cess or failure of the food conserva
tion movement is .regarded as resting
on the measure of voluntary support
that it receives from patriotic Ameri
cans. But the results achieved to
date emphasize the necessity of
broadening the powers of the adminis
trator, to deal with those who are too
selfish or too careless to heed the call
of patriotism.
One great difficulty that has block
ed the food administrator’s path has
been the fact that he has had no con
trol over the distribution of food. In
.England, where nearly ah the food is
imported, this problem has been much
simpler. The necessity for rationing
has not ben. so great because of this
government control of the distribution

The question in the minds of the
food conservation officials is how far
America dare risk its chances of win
ning the war on an entirely voluntary
system. The pinch of war is to be
felt more and more as we increase
our exports to the allies during the
next few months.
The measure of compliance devel
oped during the next fe wweeks will
have great weight in determining the
necessity for a further extension of
powers to the food administrator.
Meantime, many House leaders re
gard the new legislation as inevita
ble.

“Doing better than on
old style hulls”
Mr. J. J. Hamilton, Gastonia; N. C.; has been feeding Buckeye
Hulls to milch cows since November, 1916. He claims that they are
doing better than when fed old style hulls. Similar reports have
been received from all over the South. Wherever
VRAM MAM

are fed properly they are bound to give better results than old
style hulls. They can’t do otherwise because they are all roughage
while old style hulls are one-fourth lint; because they are clean
and free of trash; because they do not clog or flux the digestive
tract; because they mix well with other food; because they are
relished by the cattle. And yet they cost you several dollars less
per ton. Why not save the difference and get better roughage?
Ta secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulie
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
