DEMANDS INFORMATION. In a letter to Mr. Hoover the di rector gner"l declared that if the . food administration will give definite information on the location of stocks of supplies intended for the allies the railroads will move them promptly .t0Simuu"tou9ly the rroidiAmm istration gave out figures showing that the' movement of grain to pnmwjr markets in the west w.thm tht : last 10 days was far greater ; than in avoid a controversy with the food ad ministration, officials ol t f directorate today did not conceal their bel e that Mr. Hoover's statement Was not borne out by facts shown in their reports. Members of Mr. McAdoo', staff-assumed the attitude tha?Mr; Hoover had dealt in general- ties, not supported by figures or o h r evidence showing such a P"'m,8t,c outlook on future food conditions. Writing to Mr. noovci, ... Adoo said:, '.' Guarantees Transportation. , f "Your are, as I understand it, the ,ole purchaser in this; country of food supplies for the allied govern Sent. You must, therefore know the Station of the food suppl.es which you, from time to time, purchase and the ports in this country to which you desire such supplies f 'PP: ; "If you will notify me from time to time of the location of th ! specific supplies and the port or po t i n , the United States to which you wish to have such supplies transported 11 guarantee the necessary .transport!, fion, subject alone to interruption from -blizzards and fls. . "I wish to reassure the country by saying that so far as transportation concerned there s no dw8?f fering from a serious food shortage in .,.t.n nart of the country. The food administration, upon re ceipt of the letter, issued this state- ment Will Overcome Shortage. "While Mr. Hoover is put of town, food administration officials consider Mr. McAdoo's 'tTU surinir. since it ndtcates that further ca . will be furnished to western terminals and the shortage o". the western terminals to eas ern territory now will be overcome. As th raiN wgy directorate are evidently al ve to the situation they iU no doubt take all necessary steps." , ' . . A railroad administratiqn statement, without referring to Mr. Hoovers declaration that he' domestic and ii;, fnoA situation can be solveq only by loading 8,000,000 bushels , ot rain 'a day for the next- 60 days, explained 'that already 6,000,000 bush Vs of grain are being loaded daily iand.even better loading is in pros- lP-'unofficially it was, declared that "practically all the grain being offered by farmers and local elevators was being hauled, by the railroads under general priority orders for foodstuffs, particularly for grain in the westj It was suggested that farmers are not bringing their grain to market as fast as they should.. Railroad offi rials also called attention to the fact that potato-growers last f fall held much of their crop for higher prices and that condition is partly responsi ble for the extraordinary offering at this time of potatoes which the rail roads are having some difficulty mov- Referring to the general food mov ing situation the railroad administra tion said: , . . "There has now been about two weeks of moderately good weather, during which time an extraordinary effort has been put forth by the rail roads. For th week ending February 16, 22,104,000 bushels of gram were deceived at western primary markets -which wereahe largest receipts for :one week in two years, an increase of 54 per cent over the previous; week " and 51J4 per edit over the same week ' last year. - v , "The average number of cars ot Jferain being loaded is 5,000, which is .'approximately 6,000,000 bushels daily. This has been done notwithstanding (he weather conditions are still severe a large part of the country and it - will certaihly increase, in proportion as the weather moderates. The movement of special food trains under fast schedules can be made to any section of the country -threatened suddenly with a Mood shortage, according to railroad di rectorate officials, and this plan will be resorted to if , the shortage Mr. Hoover forecasted actually develops.

Low Cash Prices Make Savings and Satisfaction Here a Certainty Texas Plans to Raise Huge Crop of Wheat Following the plan outlined by Kan sas and other wheat-growing states, Texas intends to do its share toward winning the war by raising wheat. Ac cording to E. W. Cole, of the state department of agriculture, 50,000,000 bushels is the goal set for 1918. A campaign to that end already has been launched. Co-operation of the Texas Grain Dealers 'association has been enlisted by the Department of Agriculture and to stimulate interest among farmers and make it easier for them to sow much seed, the association has agreed to furnish seed wheat at cost to the growers. More than 20,000 farmers in the grain belt of Texas are being advised of the campaign and Mr. Cole believes the total acreage in wheat in Texas this year will establish a record. Last year's average was 1,200,000. The attention of the farmers is being called, to the fact that the fed eral government has fixed a minimum price of $2 a bushel for wheat at lo cal markets. That extra room will pay your coal bill. Rent it through a Bee Want Ad.

Lovell, Insuror Automobile Coverage Aside from the so-called deal ers' and garage policies there is a more or less complete coverage tor the individual automobile owner or operator. The various forms of protection for so-called commer cial cars is intricate and confusing and no general outlines can be given in a brief article more than to say that fire, theft, property damage and collision are provided for as well as oh pleasure cars. For the owner of the pleasure car there is provided coverage which may be partial or complete, as his need may seem urgent. First insurance against loss by fire, including self-ignition. This is about uniform at the average rate for contents of such buildings as are used as garages. The fire form may be to cover only in a given building, but the owner at a slight additional cost would much better have the marine or floater form, which covers fire loss any where, in or out of any building, and includes the hazard of trans portation, either from fire or by wreckage. Next comes the theft protection, which is written only with the fir hazard explained above. This pays for loss of the car by theft or dam age done same by reason of its theft, if recovered. This may or may not extend to robes and tem porary equipment of the car, ac cording to the endorsements on the policy. It does not cover tools, as a rule, but does cover equipment, and may be limited to pay only the loss over a certain minimum. This form covers wherever the car may be in the owner's service, but does not include theft by his servants, including garage employes where he stores the car. Investigate Valued and Non-Valued Coverage. Liability insurance on automo biles is the protection of defense and payment of judgment if any resulting from any right of action arising from the operation or ownership of the car by the as sured. This is usually written on the basis of $5,000 limit for one injury to one person and $10,000 limit for one accident when more than one is injured. These limits cover in each case whether the owner has one claim or one a week so lofg as the policy is in force. The insuring company bears the expense of adjustment or trial in any claim or alleged claim. Property damage is covered by an additional, endorsement and protects the owner against claims for damagi to the automobile or other property of another through his ownership and operation of the machine. Collision, insurance is to cover damage to the owner's own car through collision, and in some policies includes collision or "im naction" with the earth (except injury to tires on curbs.) This is usually written with the first $25 of damage deductable, though for an added premium the entire loss is assurred. The fire and theft forms add various features of occasional loss. as hail, tornado, sprinkler leakage and similar hazards. Fire and theft premiums are based on list price' of cars at so much per hundred. Liability policy charges are based on rated horse power with co-efficients as to ease of control and other factors. For property damage and col lision risks all cars are rated by make, type and horse power, on experience tables, as, of course, are all the ratings for the various lines. (To b continued.)
