PACKERS TO BE LICENSED Control by Federal Trade Board' Is Now Plan. WASHINGTON. To put the packers of. the country under the control of the Federal Trade Commission is one of the propositions winch is being die cussed Informally among- some of the Senators and House members who are interested in trying to relieve the pub lic of at least part of the evils from which it has suffered. The Administration bill pending In the House provides a system of licens ing the packers. Senators and House members who want stringent actlo'h fear that under this bill the actual administration of the proposed law would be turned over to some official or department that would deal gently with the packing interests. In order to get around this there Is talk that if Uie House pesses tne Administration bill there will be an effor. In the Senate to put the Admin istration of the proposed act under the Trade Commission. As it Is now made up that commission can hardly be ac cused of being a pro-packer body, and it could be relied upon enforce the measure in the public interest. The objection raised to merely licensing the packeTs, without actual public ownership of the stockyards and other accessories of the business. Is that if the licensing system were not rigidly carried out it would be worse than useless. Hogs and Sheep Sell At Full Prices. Receipts' Over Sunday.. 110 Carloads.

Equitable financial ad justments will be made by the War Department with educational Institu tions which have suffered loss by rea son of the demobilization of the stu dents' army training corps. The an nouncement that such an arrangement had been reached was contained in a letter from Major Ralph Barton Perry, secretary of the committee on educa tion of the general staff. The War Department," Major .Ferry said, "is fully aware of the force ot tne argument In favor of continuance of the students' army training corps. The demobilization will. In some cases. doubtless result in inconvenience to the institution. The committee on educa tion has. however, been authorized to make equitable financial adjustments. It is also recognized that in many cases the individual students will suffer hardships. "It should, however, be clearly borne in mind that no man inducted into the students' army training corps was promised an education at Government expense. He was inducted into tne Army for the purpose of receiving spe cial additional training in connection with his purely military training, al ways with a view to the needs of the service."
