Foodthe Problem of the Hour THE need for food has the world in its grip. To produce more food we must depend upon gasoline power on the farm to multiply the efficiency of the man-power available. The following interesting comparison of manpower vs. machine-power, required per acre ■ is. illuminating: Crop Man-Hours Man-Hours (1 acre) By Hand - By Machine Barley .... 64 ... . 4.25 Corn .... . 39 . . . . 7.70 Cotton .... 168 . . . .79 Hay . . . . - 21 . . 8.45 Oats 66. . . . 4.25 Potatoes .... 109 .... 38 Rice 62 .... 17 Rye 63 ... . 4.25 Wheat .... 61 ... . 4.25 The United States has changed from an agricultural into a semi-industrial nation. Never again will it see the day when 97 percent of its population dwells on farms. Yet the fact remains that the United States must feed itself, and the only way this can be done is through intensive soil cultivation, made possible by automotive machinery. 1 ■ \ On the farms of the Middle West the gasoline tractor, truck, and automobile are multiplying the productiveness of man-power, and are doing their part in furnishing an adequate supply of food-stuffs. Throughout this great section the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has developed a system of distribution which insures the farmer an adequate supply of gasoline and lubricating oils. This system is based upon huge storage depots, fed from three large modem refineries. Anticipation of possible difficulties is but one of the many burdens the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) assumes in order that consumers of the Middle West may have their wants supplied.

FIND MILLIONS IN A. E. F. GRAFT

Paris, May 27.—Astounding revelations of graft, mounting into the millions, in the supplies shipped to the American expeditionary forces during the war have just been made • in the course of taking an inventory and army stocks bought from the United States by France last year. At one . American expeditionary ■ force depot there were found to be piled up a full mile of cases marked “bottles of ink” or “canned food.” Only the top layer of each box consisted of full bottles or cans; the rest of the bottles and cans were empty. Hundreds of thousands of pairs of “woolen” underclothes were found to be cotton of the poorest quality, while a vast number of cases designated as containing clothing were either empty or refilled with a jumi ble of material in the worst possible i condition. ; Investigation showed that. at an-1 ' other depot there were five miles of । supplies .including beds, munitions, J jam, shaving soap, gasoline and even ] ; more than 50,000 cases of baby; , underwear, baby socks and baby; i bonnets. ~ | I The French are frankly puzzled I by these remarkable discoveries and' are wondering what possible use thei Americans could have intended these 1 । things for. The depot at Gievros, which cov-| ers a space more than one-third .the; ! area of Paris, is chock-full of this! ' kind of “army supplies.” It is es-i : timated it will take not less than five years to sell all the stocks piled I up there. . , | Meanwhile, due to the insuffici- ! ency of staffs to handle the stocks, millions of dollars’ worth of supplies are rusting and spoiling.

VOTE TODAY ON SOLDIER BONUS

ashington, D. C. - , May 28.—-Af-ter ' weeks of committee hearings, caucuses and negotiations, the soldiers’ bonus bill will be taken up tomorrow by the house. Its opponents were prepared tonight to make a bitter fight to delay action on the bill or to prevent its passage, but conceded they would be defeated. Aa a forerunner to tomorrows fight, Representative Murphy, republican, Ohio, today conducted a filibuster against transaction of any business, but finally stopped on assurance from house leaders that the soldier bill would be on the floor tomorrow. Mr. Murphy’s announced purpose was to force immediate action on the soldier measure, and he took advantage of every opportunity today to try to force his way. Even the chaplain’s prayer was delayed for half an hour by the filibuster. Chairman Campbell, of the rules committee, announced tonight • that he would open tomorrow’s session of the house by presenting a resolution suspending all house rules for the next six days. He said he expected the soldier measure to be called up as soon as his resolution was adopted. Some opposition to his resolution is anticipated, but is expected to result only in some delay. The suspension program will require a two-thirds vote to pass the bonus bill, but Mr. Campbell said that enough democrats would join with the majority republicans to pass the bill after brief debate. There is a kick in every pair of sls shoes. —Newark Star-Eagle.

PRE-CONVENTION ACTIVITIES ARE SHAPING UP

Chicago, May 28.—-With the arrival here today of Acting Secretary Clarence B. Miller, of the Republi- ' can committee, and many national committeemen and party leaders, the real pre-convention activities began. Many of the arrivals brought, with them assurances that certain: native sons were strong contend-; , ers in the race. ' Si Albert Perkins of Washington [ said Senator Miles Poindexter’s । * strength was growing, Alvin T. Hert of Kentucky said there would be no dark hprse candidate nominated. His state sent him and other delegates uninstructed, and he believed the members favored Lowden. L. Q. Richards, delegate at large from Nebraska, regarded the senate committee inquiring into campaign expenditures as “bad business for; the republican party.” I “It is an attempt to 'injure the : candidacy of Major General Wood,”.' he added, “by bringing before the j public the unquestioned fact that) primaries are expensive, by trying j to make the people think that there i is something wrong when there is ■ nothing at all.” Frank H. Hitchcock, who arrived J today, stated that Wood leaders j would be here on Monday and I would decide who should manage the ] general’s campaign on the floor of I the, convention, as well as decide I who should place his name iji nomi- I nation. il

The city building inspectors made their second inspection of the coliseum today and approved the work, being done to place it in readiness 1 for the convention on June 8. Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican national committee will, arrive here on Sunday morning to; attend the committee meeting oni Monday. A large mass of briefs, 1 covering more than 100 contested cases, arrived today from Washington. _ - - 1 There will be no oversized delegations on the temporary roll, according to Acting Secretary Miller. “The, call for the convention specified the J exact number of delegates to which) each state was entitled,” Mr. Miller! explained. “Despite the fact a num-1 ber of states have selected more i delegates than their quotas called! for. A rule of the national commit- 1 tee provides that such cases shall. automatically be classed as contests, but the committee hopes that each oversized delegation will see to it that its size is reduced to the proper number before the cases come before the national committee on ■ May 31. But if this does not happen, ■ there will be nothing for the com- : mittee to do but reduce these dele-

I gations itself.” I It was announced at Hoover headquarters that the New York organizations for Hoover would be trans- i । ferred to this city within the next day or two. The advance guard of । the Eastern Hoover contingent is expected tomorrow. — The Literary Digest is running a series of portraits of Presidential aspirants, but only one a week is ■ I published, and here’s Election day.
