LEGISLATION ON I). S. WHEAT DILL EXPECTED SOON

i Federal Gram Corporation to Have Power to Buy and Sell 91 9 Crop. WASHINGTON. Feb. 7. With hear ings on the Important wheat bill prac tically concluded, the House agricul tural committee will begin work at once redrafting the measure, with the - intention of getlng It to congress next week in time for action by both houses before the adjournment of the present - session. From the turn the testimony has taken and the opinions expressed nesses, ii is oeuevea uiai. iub ivbibib- ' . .1 . . a At tion will take this form: 1. Authorize continuation of the present government grain corporation and give It power to buy ana sen wheat of the 1919 crop both In this country and. abroad. 2. It -will not attempt to fix a policy on the 1919 crop as to whether the price should be held throughout the year at $2.26 or permitted to sell on a world price level and the difference made up to the farmer out of the publie treasury, but leave that for, deter mination of the grain corporation, when, it Is seen how big the 1919 crop Is and what the world market conditions are then.; 8. It will give the corporation powers to deal in other grains, in so far as it Is necessary , and to handle the wheat situation and give it embargo powers on grain and fat shipments in order to club allied and neutral buyers into line if it should become necessary to straighten out the world market. 4. If the price of the 1919 crop goes below, the government guarantee, it will give power to the grain corporation to protect the millers and others who had gone ahead with their business on assumption the government price was to be maintained throughout 'the entire twelve months. 5. - It will appropriate a billion dollars to back up the guarantee. TV0 FORGES - f Continued From Page One. discussed and contemplated, these things happen in Paris. Yet, more often than not, and always when public sentiment is awake, a convention, in spite of machine politicians who have the appetite, but no courage, nominated good tickets and adopted good platforms, and side by side with all this bargaining, of which the Syrian Episode is an example, one can feel and one can count on an infinite number of cases in which the claims of the old sort, greatly pressed in the beginning, are being modified or abandoned. Practical principles are being formulated which if they ever are adopted, as I believe they will be, will in the future limit exactly the evils of which I have spoken. Finds Evidence You may believe in Paris and find evidence to support the belief, that nothing has been changed in European diplomacy and methods since the days of Machiavelli or Metternich, and you may find proof of it in a score of questions of which the Syrian and Adriatic problems are perhaps the most impressive. You will find many people impressed by these things to the extent of believing that the taint of the . old order runs through everything in the new conference. I am sure that vol-, umes of testimony will go back to; America mat notmng nonest or reai can be expected in this Paris atmosphere. - But by contact it has now become reasonably certain that the people of I &mtg will Vio narmlttcH tn riantrlA their! own fate, which never could have happened at the congress of Vienna or at the congress of Berlin. It is becoming fairly clear that all the little politicians with their petty bargaining are going to miss the big prizes and that, In a word, things that they are working for are not coming off. Hiding Real Intent . The bargain which the British made with France, and then abandoned to sell the Bame goods to the Arabs, does not express the present spirit or temper of the English people nor do I believe for a single moment, that the demand made by certain sections of Frenchmen in the matter of Syria expresses the real character of French spirit at the present day. I do not see much difference between the French and the British aims in this respect, except that the British have been fortunate enough to fortify their policy after the event by the fact that it falls in with the new principles. But the big thing seems to me first that the job Isn't going to I be done, and second, that this is thej first time in the world that it could, have been precented. The thing that I am trying to say to my American readers is that the world peace conference, like a national political convention In its day-today procedure, particularly before the main tasks are undertaken, does not give any true index of the real forces which are going to control It or tho real results which are going to be achieved. Politician In Evidence It is a great pity in Paris as it is a great handicap in national conventions, that the machine politician is in evidence and doing his job. In a sense it is a pity that the preliminary reports of the conference like thoso of a convention must be replete in this kind of detail; but if one exagger ates It in either case, one loses the proper perspective, and adopts a dan gerous cynicism. The fact to which I return over and over again, is that the coming of Mr. Wilson to Europe coincided with the great general human aspiration for a new order in the world, and that Mr. Wilson's coming gave new vitality and force to this yearning. And in its new form this popular Gains Life and Strength W. H. Gross, Joplifc, Mo. "Kept losing my energy, nad pnysicai breakdown's Through Hull's Superlative have gained life and strength.

National Crop Improvement Service. TTlOB centuries an enemy has been H at work In our midst destroying . millions of the world's population, hi comparison with which the great European War would be a mere skirmish. ' ; "The rat Is responsible for more deaths among human beings than all the wars of history. Oceans fall to limit its activities," says Mr. Frank Baackes, vice president of the American Steel and Wire Company. "The great plague of London, which killed more than half the inhabitants, was by no means the worst outbreak, for the plague called 'black death' devastated Europe for fifty years, killing two-thirds or three-fourths of the population in large territories, or about twenty-five million persons. India has lost since 1896 nearly nine millions of Its inhabitants. "The disease Is still ravaging Asia, Africa, Australia and South America and has now attacked Europe and North America. "Through the fleas that infest them, rats are of course wholly responsible for the transmission of the bubonic plague, and it has been proved also that rats are active agents in spreading pneumonic plague. Septic pneumonia and epidemic jaundice in man and trichinae In the pig have also been traced to the rat. He is also suspected of being the carrier of Infantile paralysis. He undoubtedly carries many -kinds of infectious germs from his haunts of filth, leaving them upon human food. "Doctors disagree as to the origin of the so-called influenza, although most of them have agreed that it Is closely related to the pneumonia which so frequently follows. May not the rat have had something to do with the spreading of this recent plague? Annual -Loss by Rats. "The economic loss due to Tats would pay the Interest on our public debt ' He destroys $200,000,000 worth of property annually in the United States, and proportionate amounts in every other country. It Is hardly thinkable that a civilized people Bhould rest supinely under such conditions and let this evil continue. The constant labor of an army of more than 200,000 men Is required to feed this ravening maw. It takes 5,000,000 acres to grow rat food. "We have been fighting the rat for centuries, but owing to our lack of proper methods and concerted action we have made no progress. We must not only kill the rat but we must build him out of our houses and barns. A building can be made rat proof. Why not a farm, a village, a city or a seaport?. sentiment or popular emotion Is too powerful to permit the politicians with their little tricks to put them over, but until the real test comes, and an appeal is made to this popular sentiment, the politician ' will continue to seem in charge. As a factor in the matter of making peace, and a just peace, I do not think the Syrian episode is worth passing notice, because I do not believe it will go nine innings or even five, but I have chosen it as an example of the sort of thing that is going on to cause suspicion or temporary bitternesses between the nations,' and to cloud one's view of the truth as it is known here.

PIED PIPER.

"Prof. David E, Lantz, Asst Biologist in the U. S. Bureau of Biological Survey, has written a most comprehensive article for the year book of Agriculture for 1917. "I believe that the encouragement of the boys' clubs, in connection with many farm bureaus to conduct organized rat campaigns, will do the business. In any rural community which is badly Infested with rats, it is a good plan to organize rat clubs In every, school district and offer prizes every month and also a bounty for rat tails. "In order to begin the work a meeting should be called of the commercial clubs, women's clubs - and the farm bureau and the article above referred to read and discussed and prompt and efficient action taken. Prizes may be provided by private donation or even by assessment of members. "The school children should each be assigned a small territory, preferably their own homes, and report on all harbors where rats may propagate. The war spirit which has been engen dered will so arouse the boy scouts that they will fight to the last ditch in order to exterminate the foe. "In every seaport vessels at dock should be required to place rat guards on all hawsers and should be breasted off by spars furnished with rat guards. This may require federal legislation, but It must be done. We Are Killing Our Allies. "We have been killing many of our best friends, allies which would make the battle easy. The natural enemies of rats and mice include beside the dog, cat and ferret, nearly all kinds of snakes, storks, herons, hawks, owls, skunks and weasels ; and, sad to relate, all of these enemies have been nearly exterminated by our desire to kill something through prejudice or ignorance. "All the hawks, owls and weasels in the country combined do not destroy one-sixth as much poultry as the common barn rat. "Buildings should be so constructed as to exclude the enemies from shelter and food, and when the campaign is under way an Inspection committee should visit the premises wherever rats abound to see that it is efficiently done. "Will it be too costly? What do rats cost now? If half the money now spent in feeding and fighting the rats could be expended in wisely planned co-operative effort we could kill off 90 per cent and Insure ourselves completely from the fear of bubonic plague and other rat-borne diseases."
