' There seems to he no relief in sight > and as there is not enough bread l materials in stock here to last more than a few days, 1 cannot see any thing but a famine ahead." The bakers here understand that the federal government has shut down many of the big western mills and this, of course, will contribute to the shortage. The only concern in Harrisburg that is not worried over the imme diate situation is the Standard Bak ing Company, which was fortunate in storing up a considerable quantity of flour so that there is enough now to run for several weeks. The West Shore bakery reported that they had only sufficient flour to last the rest of this week. Mr. Schmidt late this afternoon was able to get one full car of flour to-day, principally through the ef forts of Mr. Rupp of the Pennsyl vania Railroad. He aded that both i railroad managements were doing | everything possible to help the bak ers and that their energy may result in some of the forty cars of flour now on the road being sent through in time to prevent a famine.

RAILROAD HEADS ARE COMPETENT [Continued from First Pope,] advisers on the railroad question, the Minnesota Senator said he intended doing everything possible "to strengthen and facilitate government operation and Insure justice to the people, the railroads and the vast army of security holders. Hampered by Laws The executive committee of rail road heads, the Senator said, great ly co-ordinated the transportation facilities and enormously increased traffic, but were hampered by cer tain laws aiid restrictions which should have been abolished. "The railroads should have been supported by government authority," he continued, "to operate as a unit. Bearing in mind that the congestion was simply in the eastern and north eastern territory, I am constrained to believe that as great service could have been obtained through the gov ernment's co-operation as by taking over the roads." Approves Compensation Senator Kellogg approved of the compensation provided in the bill and said: "A guarantee by the gov ernment of a permanent income on an investment would be reasonable at a very much lower rate, but the guarantee in this case is only for the period of the war and a short time thereafter, and therefore it should, as as possible, represent the earning capacity of the roads over a reasonable term of years." The plan submitted originally by the administration giving the Presi dent absolute power to tix rates was denounced by Senator Kellogg. "It is appalling," he declared, "to say, that because we are at war the country's entire rate-making struc ture and the, absolute power to change a rate, effecting the billions of dollars of railroad property and hundreds of millions of dollars of commerce shall be placed in the hands of one man without the right of appeal." Xot For Permanent Control Senator Kellogg said he believed the provision in the bill terminating government control within eighteen months after the war should be re tained. "I have no doubt that un der the war power," he added, "Con gress may keep the railroads for a reasonable time after the termina tion of the war. But to keep them an indefinite time and pay rent therefore, is obtaining property un der false pretense so far as the American people are concerned. 1 am not yet prepared to take a step that will force government operation upon the people of this country. That question should be met by the American people squarely and fair ly. unhampered by any other issue and should the time come when the people deem it wise to take over the railroads, their mandate is iinal." Gas Company Employes Hold Monthly Meeting "Telephone Service" was the topic discussed at tlie monthly meeting of the commercial department of the Harrisburg Gas Company, a depart ment which includes all the clerical help. H. E. Prevost, of the Bell Tele phone Company, gave an informal talk on the subject, bringing out the necessity for courtesy on the part of operator and customer. In the general discussion W. H. Fetter, local man ager of the Hell Company; A. M. Boyd, of the United Gas Improvement Company, Philadelphia, and L, S. 1 Williams, manager of the Harrisburg ,Gas Company, took part. At the smoke, which followed, Cor- Iporal Mountz. son of Daniel Mount'/, an employe of the company, related some entertaining incidents of Army life at Camp Hancock. It was an nounced that the annual social for the employes of the department and their friends will be held some time In March. This is an annual affair given by the company, and it is always eag erly looked forward to by members of the department.

The proposed standard and necessity of conserving whole grains formerly fed to chickens was presented to poultrymen at a recent meeting here.
