This is even more important than for

Illinois Congressman Declares Government Is Losing Millions
of Dollars on Money Paid to Private

Congressman Clyde Tavenner of
Illinois, who says the Government
is losing millions because of me

Mr.. Tavenner quotes from figures

says:
The Government can save 20 TO

The Illinois Congressman now has

Within ten minutes after an appli-

Agricultural Department Heads
Protests Of the Colorado
Growers.
Sentinel special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Dec. 27.-The growers oi
potatoes in the northern part of the
state recently sent the agricultural
department at Washington a strong
protest against the government lift
ing the quarantine which would per-
nit the importation of diseased po-
tatoes into the United States from
foreign countries. Similar protests
have been filed with the agricultur-
al board at Washington from many
sections of the United States where
the potato industry thrives. Con-
gresham Seldomridge of Colorado
Springs has acted before the board
in behalf of the potato growers of
Colorado, and adyices from him in
dicate that these protests have had
their effect against the lifting of
the potato embargo against foreign
countries. Mr.. Seldomridge advises
that he feels that the protests are
going to have their weight with the
board. and that the quarantine will
not be lifted in its entirety and that
the agricultural department will fl
nally adopt restrictive measures re-
garding the bringing into this coun-
try of diseased potatoes.
The result of the hearing which
took place on Dec. is, has not yet
been announced, but is expected
soon. The belief is that the embargo
will remain.
