TO CONTROL COLD STORAGE
Would Prevent Holding Eggs and Meat
for More Than Year.

Trenton, N. J.-George B. Wight,
state commissioner of charities, believes
that state control of cold storage plants
can be made an effective weapon for
regulating prices of foodstuffs.
The state board of health, in the
Judgment of the commissioners, should
have the supervision over all cold
storage products brought into the
state, and no food from cold storage
should be placed on sale except upon
certifcation from the proper authori-
ties. He would have every packing
marked with the date of receipt.
If this was done, he says, public
opinion would make it impossible for
dealers to sell at As or so cents a
dozen eggs which were purchased by
spectators a year OF two before at 20
cents. The same reasoning, he thinks,
applies to meats and other cold stor-
age products.

Business Men Are Too Busy.

New York-Professo Munsterberg

Gently, has poor opinion of the cul-
ture of the average American man.
"The average business mar" he
said, els too little interested in any
thing outside his business. The women
of the country control culture and
higher ideals. The man takes too selfish
an attitude toward himself and his bust
ness. We should fill our lives with
idealism. Man who. simply sees in bis
vocation a means of getting the better
of his fellowman destroys his power

SMITH FAMILIES UNITED
B. HOMESTEAD FARMS

Anyone looking for Mr.. Smith In
the neighborhood few miles from
Briggsdale had better get posted on
the initials and general description
OF the man he wants before he starts
out. as the census In that part OF
the country shows that whole Colo
RADIO family of Smiths. consisting OF
four brothers. their wives and eight
children have located there on home
steads.
The situation Is interesting and
came to light through the breaking
of some home ties this morning when
the younger children started away
for school. Some time ago the four
brothers. each OF whom lived in a
different part of the state, decided
that they might as we'll be togeth er
with their families. They according
ly took up home steads near Briggs
dale that adjoined. and were follow
ed by each of the three grown child
rem. Five of the chilren were too
| young to file. so the family are get
ting along as best they may with only
seven homesteads.
During the past summer Jolly
times were had at each week end.
One of the brothers would entertain
the whole Smith family, each taking
his turn. The children were all at
home and the homesteading life, in
stead of being replete with hardships
pictured in pioneer stories, was more
like Il summer outing
The brothers are: S. j., l.. G., II.
w. and n. B. Smith. Two sons of
s. j., Webster and DR.. Clinton Smith,
have homesteads and one son of l..
G.. Smith. The doctor has a desert
claim, as he makes his home in Den
yer.
The four brothers take n cheer
full view of the future and believe
that in time there will be enough
members of the family to found a
town on their own land.
