PRESENT BILL TO

CARRY OUT $2.20 PRICE ON WHEAT $ 1 ,250,000 to be Appropriatl ed to Buy 1919 Crop U. i S. to Control Dealers. . .? WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 An administration bill appropriating $1,250,000,000 to enable the government to carry out its guarantee to the farmer of a price of $2.20 a bushel for the 1919 wheat crop was transmitted to the chairmen of the Senate and House agriculture committees by the food administration. The measure, which was drawn by officials of the food administration and the. department of agriculture, was described by some senators as an omnibus measure which would permit the president to continue the food administration In operation and to exercise all of the powers conferred upon him by the food control act. Is Opposed by Gore Senator Gore, chairman of the Senate committee, announced that he would not introduce tho measure in the Senate. "It Is broader than I think Is necyr essary," he declared. "I may take I It as a basis for another bill which I may introduce." t 1 Under the bill as drawn, government authority to control grain dealers, millers and elevators "by license or other like powers" would be continued and the president would be authorized to "create any agency or agencies" to buy the 1918 and 1919 wheat crops, "wheat products and other foodstuffs and feeds" at the guaranteed prices, regulate export and import of wheat, require preferential railroad servico as long as the railroads are under government control, control grain exchanges and prohibit trading upon them "at such time or times as may bo deemed desirable or proper .to meet market conditions and competitive prices of foreign-grown wheat" and "to prescribe such rules and regulations as may be deemed necessary

to protect the government of thei

United States from paying the guaranteed prices aforesaid for any wheat other than that covered by proclamations." In addition, the president, through the agency he would designate, could . also sell either domestically or by export wheat, wheat products or byproducts at a profit or loss as "In the judgment of such agency may be necessary." He also could lease, buy or requisition storage space and prescribe the terms to be paid for it. The emerald has been known since early times both in Europe and in certain parts of the orient, where its attractive color and rarity have endowed it with the highest rank and a varied lore.

Rotations Served Dinner . by Reid Hospital Nurses Sixty-three members of the Richmond Rotary Club enjoyed a chicken dinner served by twelve nurses of the Reid Memorial hospital in the nurses home Tuesday evening. Dr. L. P. Ross was chairman of the entertainment committee and presided. Following the dinner, John L. Rupe and George H. Eggemeyer, members of the Board of Trustees of the hospital, made speeches. During the last year the hospital has cared for 1,041 patients, and $11,000 worth of charity work has been done, out of which only $3,000 has been given by the city. It was announced that Reid Memorial hospital has 18 nurses in the service. Bernhard H. Knollenberg, who was a guest, said that he had met with the Rotary Club in Honolulu while he was there. Other guests were Elwood McGuire of Colorado Springs and Harold Taggart. .

CRISIS FACED

Continued From Paae One. should have obtained if he had stayed at home. His coming unchained forces of unexpressed and truly inarticulate idealism. I recall the comment of a French servant of one of my friends. She said after three hours of waiting and watching for the President, "Now that Mr. Wilson has come there i3 hope, isn't there." Politicians are politicians the world over. The last diplomat will differ very little from the first. Both classes are in the end led by necessity or driven by external pressure. ' Mr. Wilson's coming set in motion a pressure from masses of men and women in many nations which has exercised and is exercising a profound influence upon the plans explored and the ends sought within the conference. So much has been gained and it will hardly be lost. We shall harvest very much of that crop and in my judgment will remain glad that the president came but today the world, the European world at least, finds itself beginning to be anxious a shade impatient as it sees the hope of definite results postponed. I repeat this postponement is not due to irreconcilable difference of opinion nor to quarrels over principle or provinces. Such differences will all be . settled without quarrel because everyone is determined to settle them that way. The cause is apparent lack of a program. Want to Know Details. It is not then differences over national claims, it is not the demands of France in Germany or of Italy in Austria which block the way. Inponderable rather than tangible obstacles are holding us back and chief among these is the present status of the League of Nations. England and France have accepted the president's double determination. First that there should be a league and second that it should be created by the treaty of peace rather, postponed to a later conference. But neither

England nor France nor America for that matter has .yet arrived at any coherent idea of what Mr. Wilson's view of a League of Nations is. Has he a plan. Presumably but no one knows. - Will he announce it. . Perhaps but who can say. Situation is Puzzling. And so the situation becomes more and. more puzzling because like all human gatherings the peace conference in Paris seeks a leader and up to the present hour the man whom circumstances have marked for that role gives no sign of the direction which he believes should be taken. Apart from the league of nations the Polish and Russian problems are most pressing and as recent despatches have doubtless indicated a beginning, a very small beginning has been made in both cases, but in neither case Is it accurate to say that a policy has been adopted rather a committee has been appointed. .We have settled questions of precedence of method; the routine dear to the heart of the Bureaucrat is arranged, but we are still feeling in the dark so far as purposes are concerned. Having said this, which was perhaps a necessary report of the situation as it stands, I desire to warn my American readers against accepting sensational reports of growing national differences. , I do not think anyone can exaggerate the fundamental good feeling which exists in England, and in France, Incidentally in the official world, but more strikingly amidst the masses of the population for the President, personally, as the representative of his country. Rumors Are Thick. We are three distinct nations with totally different manners and methods, no longer associated in a common struggle against the enemy a situation in. which all difference of manner vanish before the same conception of duty instead we are engaged in striving to exist and our conditions are equally hard on both sides of the national fences; all the little latent prejudices come to -the surface; the heroes, alas, have become quite ordinary human beings. You may hear in every restaurant gossip, half truths and truths of no significance, brought forward to prove that everything in Paris marches towards discord and failure. Harmony May Come. But all this is the small beer of the thing. A peace conference is like a national convention in our politics. The convention has a single function. It must nominate a ticket; if it fails the election will be lost. Therefore,

B. F. Ham, Former Resident Is Dead in New York Word has been received here that B. F. Ham, 71 years old, died of pneumonia after an illness of one week, at his home in New York City, on January 25. t , ., Mr. Ham was a former resident of Richmond, and was the son of Jason and Elizabeth Ham charter members of South Eighth Street Friends church. He moved to New York City 35 years ago. He was a building contractor. : He is Survived by his widow and a son Leroy Ham.

without exception conventions nominate. They frequently begin , with every sign of collapse. There are opening days of rival booms and conflicting platform proposals. ; But at a certain point harmony comes out of discord. And it will be the same in Paris for the same reason. The delegates to this convention will not attempt to go home without a treaty of peace in their pockets. Again there is a superficial sense of disappointment that a conference designed, at least in the public mind, to bring about an enduring peace and a new order in the world, is engaged endlessly in the discussion of territorial rivalries and trade jealousies. All these things are here and tmmistakable, but idealism is not lacking either. Beyond all else there is a clear perception in the minds of the official and even more in the minds of the unofficial representatives of the various nations that a new spirit is stirring in their constituencies. Expecting miracles, many may be disappointed, but I do not believe there is any reason to fear another Congress of Berlin, much less another Congress of Vienna. No Real Value. The day to day routine .of the congress has not yet acquired real value. The great decisions are still to be made, the unmistakable differences to be ironed out. All that has been done is a very real sence perfunctory.

but the way In -which It has been done is encouraging. ' . j If the conference had not yet affirmatively marched in the right direction,, there is no mistaking the fact that it has avoided taking steps which might involve the surrender of principles. If it has so far been conservative it has at no time been reactionary and has steadily shown a recognition and an appreciation of the dangers of any reactionary course. In my, judgment, the great powers as represented at Paris are nearer together than they were two months ago, and the dangers of any break have become remote. Yet at last I return to the point .where I began. Mr. Wilson's greatest opportunity remains, but in a sense, is passing; Europe -wants peace and hopes for the Millennium; it is ready to accept his leadership to an unexpected degree, but it is beginning to ask whether he has a plan. ; Abstract principles must soon be translated into concrete applications and so far Mr. Wilson has refrained from giving a sign not merely to Lloyd George and Clemenceau, but even to the amicable Mr. Lansing.

U. S. Plans to Do Away with Motor Rural Mail Service WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. Farmers and city residents enjoying the advantages of the new motor rural parcel post express extending on five routes out from Indianapolis must bestir themselves mightily and quickly if they are to retain this special modern service. Congress, unless advised immediately by the patrons that the motor service, though established only a few months, promises to develop into one of great advantage in linking the city with the farm, will cut the appropriation next year to such a figure that three of the five Indianapolis routes will be abolished. Patrons interested in the subjectshould write at once to Senators Watson and New, to the Indiana representatives in Congress and also to the postmaster general.

BEAUTY SPECIALIST TELLS SECRET A Beauty Specialist Gives Simple Home Made Recipe to Darken Gray Hair. Mrs. M. D. Gillespie, a. well known beauty specialist of Kansas City, recently gave out the following statement regarding gray hair: "Anyone can perpare a simple mixture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost, or the druggist will put it up for you. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray haired person look twenty years younger. This is not a dye, it does not color the most delicate scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off." Adv.
