PEOPLE DEMANDING PROPEK POO© REGULATION. Public impatience is toeing mani- fested over the slotht'ulness. of Con- gress in considering such a grant of power t o the executive branch of the government as will enable the man selected for supervising food produc- tion and regulating food consump- tion to do that work. Hoover, the great man who has saved the lives of millions of desti- tute people in Belgium and who has proved his extraordinary capacity for effective, wise and economical admin- istration in the handling of men, money and supplies, should be cloth- ed with adequate powers to meet an abnormal situation, existing and to he continued with increasing discom- fort for a year or two. The American people want a gov- ernment guarantee that food specu- lators will not 'be allowed to practice extortion. They want the assurance without delay. And they should get it. 'Legislators are sufficiently intelli- gent to draw a reasonable distinction between the working of a law that will give the American people the safeguards they need and one that would inflict unjust' burdens 'upon legitimate food' production and food handling methods. If any legislator is not equal to the task of urging and helping frame such a law he should show his pa- triotism by getting into private life. to hold up planting corn so. far. it is expected that—planting com and beans will be started by June 1st. The acreage of wheat potatoes and beans in this vicinity will be much •in -excess of former years. The large amount of land in the farming' dis- tricts either planted or being fitted for crops is extremely noticeable. Practically all of the available land in the village is being utilized for garden purposes. UAH'S IS BUUNMO AT BLACK RIVER; TOWN IN. DANGER Building Owned By Watertown Man Destroyed.' Black River, May 25.—Fire last Wednesday afternoon destroyed a barn owned 'by Ralph W. Beavers of Watertown and occupied by the Gates Trucking Company, which op- erates between Carthage arid Water- town, The loss is estimated at $1,500 with $900 insurance. A srong west wind carried sparks for some distance and for a time it was feared that the - entire town might burn, but active work on the part of the firemen confined the blaze ot the one building. Residents of the town aided the firemen to good effect. The blaze is supposed to have started from matches with> which children were playing in the hay loft. Horses in the lower floor of the barn and wagons stored there were Saved, but a new rubber tired buggy on the loft floor was destroyed. SAW CELL BARS WITH TABLE KNIFE Ogdensburg, May 25.—Fred Dan- iels and Walter Lavier in jail here on the charge of assault e and robbery at Hammond, made a break for freedom early Monday morning, but were out- witted toy Officer Beach, night chief, Who heard sounds below and de- scended to the cells where he found the prisoners had sawed two of the bars of their cell wiith a hacked table knife and were trying to batter down the outer door with a piece of angle iron. Both were placed in other cells. Arraigned this afternoon they waived examination and bail was fixed at $1,000 each. They were taken to Canton to await the Grand jury. THE SOUL Ol? CUBA. The new president of Cuba made what is probably the shortest inau- gural speech on record. It was ex- actly eleven words and merely an- nounced that he had taken posses- sion of his office. But General Menocal more than made up for any shortcoming in this respect insofar *ts the United States is concerned, in a proclamation 'lie is- sued before takng the oath. What he said is worthy of perpetuation in the minds of every American inclined to take a pessimistic view concerning official recognition of international obligations that come more from sympathy than the letter of enact- ment. This was his declaration: Cuba should dedicate all her. en- ergies t o the defense of the ideals of democracy and international justice and liberty of the seas in which, as a commercial nation, she so greatly is interested. Even with these motives it would be sufficient that the United States to which Cuba in bound by solemn treaties and moral and mater- ial ties which make for the solidari- ty of nations, has had to declare war against Germany to irresistibly impel Cuba to place herself without hesita- tion at the side of the United States in the great conflict. President Menocal might send a marked copy of his warm greeting to Carranza. YOUR PATRIOTIC IH'TY—BUY A LIBERTY LOAN BOND. LOCAL DEMOCRATIC GOSSIP - By Eugene P. Livermore ~EQ A few days ag'q all over the coun- try und in the four corners of JutVevsou County,' there came forth a wail from Republicans that the President was playing- politics, inid. favoritism, in moving' General Leon- ard 13. VVood, a prominent Repub- lican, whose name has at times been mentioned for the presidr-iiey, from the department of the east at (3ov* ernors Island, to a department in ihe soutli. Criticism of this act on The part of the president was lorn; and loud, and the papers took it. up and condemned the chief executive. Now some of these papers have al- ready apologized for the editorials, which were used, and have compli- mented President Wilson. It turned out 'that the President had sent- Gen. Wood to the south to be in charqe of that department, where the greatest, number of training camps are to be located, and over these lie is to have general, supervision. The papers ad- mit, that wjj'.hotit trained men, the great war which has been in prog- ress for a number of years, cannot be won, no matter who might com- mand the troops. They concede that General Wood witli his long- experi- ence, is the man to train the boys of this country, who may lay down their lives on foreign soil, and that the President did not play polities, but. made the wisest move possible in naming General Wood as the com- mandant of the southern depart- ment. The criticism, of the failure to per- mit General Wood to remain on Gov- ernors Island or g-o to France, was little more harsh than was the lan- guage which many Republicans, who four years ago condemned the founder of the Progressive party, used toward President Wilson be- cause he vetoed 1he resolutions of coiifi-rcss, under the veto Colonel Roosevelt being- denied the right to raise an army for French service. The president in a memorandum, ac- companying the veto, stated that his action was due to the advice of mili- tary experts, both in this country mid abroad. The opinion seemed to lie that men with more experience than Colonel Roosevelt should take the division to Franco. True it is that Colonel Roosevelt could probab- ly raise a. division to cross the At- lantic sooner than any other man hi the country, but, Mr. Reader, if your boy and mine were going t o France to fig-lit would you want them to . go with a man who has had the experi- ence of almost a lifetime i n the.mili- tary g-ame, such as General -Pershing,' who will lead a division, has had, or would you pl-efer a man-with the lit- tle experience that Colonel Roosevelt had during the Spanish-American war in Cuba?\ If some of the old Ninth Infantry men would talk, and if some, of the colored gentlemen of the old 24th Infantry stationed at' Madison Barracks would g-o into details- epn^ eerhing- the battle of San Juan. Hill, tell the part that their regiments played and tlie part that Colonel Roosevelt's rough riders took tinder, his leadership,\ one might perhaps be? come convinced 'that a man like Per- shing, and not the Colonel, was the man for Woodrow Wilson to desig- nate. . , i The Federal census is .to be taken June 5th, and on this day every young man over 21 years of age and under 31 must register. They must regis- ter in the election district in which they live. Sheriff Hosmer has desig- nated the various registrars for the various districts, the allotment being divided between the Democrats and Republicans. It will \be interesting-to note that among- the assignments is that of that Democratic, war horse, George S. IfcCartln, to the first dis- trict of the Sixth ward. This district, was in days gone by, known as the third district of the Third ward, and it is in this district that \Mac\ has al- ways had his stand on election day. If George JfcCartin could write a book, or rather if he would, for it must be conceded that \Mae\ can do anything that he turns his hand to, on happenings that have come to his attention hi this district, it wnrld have a wide sale in Watertown. lie was working in this district long be- fore the memorable race between Joseph Nellis and Francis M. Hugo, when Mr. .Wilis was defeated by only 78 votes. Incidents on that election day ought to make as good reading for the people of Watertown as th» articles one sees in the press daily as to bow uint'h revenue from the,licens- ing of automobiles is being received in'the office of the. Secretary of State \Ross\ Gales turnkey at the county jail, and father-in-law of Rher- i'lf Charles C. Hosmer, has announced his candidacy as a Republican nomi- nee for sheriff:. \Ross\ was for years an old standby of the Republican or- ganisation in the town of Orleans, and from, all reports tlie organiza- tion was seldom if ever mislead by his prediction or tlwoiigsh his promises. Mr. Gates will loolc to the organiza- tion t o give him a lift ait this time, as this is the first elective office he -has .ever sought. No doirbt he is speculat- ing as to how much he can expect from the Republican organization which he has backed so many times, on many occasions against his own judgment-and his own feelings, to a finish. The organization, it is pre- dicted, is back of \Mike\ Gleason al- most to a rnan,, and. Mr. Gates may reach .the conclusion that it does not pay to, always be regular.

Sample, commanding the camp, yesterday followed up his emphatic assertion of Wednesday that the local saloon keepers were to adhere to a \bone dry\ prohibi- tion,, by posting the following bulle- tin at the barracks of each company: Pursuant to the instructions of the department commander, the intro- duction into, or the use of, intoxicat- ing liquors within the limits of the camp or post is prohibited to mem- bers of the command, and they are also prohibited from entering in uni- form, any bar or questionable resort outside the limits of the camp, and students who violate this rule will be summarily discharged from the camp. LIEUT.-COL. SAMPLE, Per Captain C. B. Moore, 4th Inf. Adjutant. In discussing the powers he can employ to carry out his wishes with regard to drinking, Col. Sample said that even if the local district attor- ney had not indicated that a state statute gave him'almost a Czar's au- thority over liquor selling, the feder- al law gave him the right to close any saloon or hotel within a mile of the post.

The buyers in this connection do not hesitate to say that just as long- as the .local cheese -board meets in- the afternoon and the Gouvefrieur iboard in the evening that a higher, •price will prevail there. It's a-strange situation, for -two buyers on the lpo'fiV board/are.menibers of the price com-, mittee at Gouverneur and; several- others take cheese from that board.

Gouverneur, May 25.—The mak- ing of the cheese price on the Gouver- neur Dairy Board Saturday evening was a long drawn affair, the commit- tee consuming, nearly two hours 'in its deliberations. The price finally made Was 26 cents. The meeting was : called to order at 7:45 by President Freeman and Secretary Clark read market- reports as- follows: Brock- ville, no sales given out; Plymouth, 24 1-4 cents; Salamanca and Cuba, 26 and 26 1-8 -cents, with no report from Canton. The condition at Wa- tertown was reported as unsettled, with no agreement on price. The offerings Saturday evening consisted of 2,548 boxes from 36 fac- tories, the largest number ever regis- tered here. Secretary Clark also re- ported that the local board now had a paid membership of 42, which 1 - iS the largest number of members''that Gouveriieur organization has ' ''ever had. The offerings on the corresponding date in 1916 were 2,422 boxes'Which brought 17 3-8 cents.
