Representative S. F. Prouty of Iowa
is one of the good story-tellers of the
house of representatives, but he had
an unfortunate experience one dav
when he attempted to illustrate q
point in a tariff speech with the story
of Simple Sally, a character In the
neighborhood where he lived when q
boy.
THE family always tried things
first on Sally" said Mr.. Prouty. az
they didn't hurt her, they were con.
sidered good enough for the rest OF
the family.
"They used her as a sort Of OK.
pertinent station" he explained. eff
they had edibles from the woods and
were a little in doubt as to whether
they were stood toals-"
A shout of.laughter went I'D from
the nearby colleague and Mr.. Prouty
hastily corrected himself:
"Stoodtoals," he began. The laugh
grew stronger.
"Stoodtoals! he shouted red in the
face.
At that point he gave up.

Deaths by Elvjno.

July, August and September, a good
time Of year for aviation, proved this
year to be a specially fatal period for
aviators. Nearly eighty persons were
killed in various parts of the world
In accidents due to the navigation of
the air. Some Of the deaths were
spectacular, as, for instance, those of
the four persons in crowd in Ger
many who were killed by the propeller
OF an aeroplane passing over their
heads, and the drowning of fifteen in
the wreck at sea of the Zeppelin, LII,
and the fall of Lieutenant Schmidt
5000 feet to his death.
Flying is still the most dangerous
OF occupations; to attain safety is still
the chief object to be sought.

TO present report in which shall be
included the number of cases of diph-
iberia, typhoid fever. and scarlet fever
the past month
Where 1t is possible, the agricultural
have frequented the characterization
neighborhoods. and study these ami
mails.
One of the officials Of the agricul-
tural department has invented a trap
with which 1t is hoped cats can be
captured. 1t is to be baited with fish
heads and other delicacies.
An order was issued by the commits
sioners, at General Joh:5ton's sugges-
ton, for the poundmaster to kill all
cats sent to him.
The recent Georgetown diphtheria
epidemic has been shown not to be
caused by cats. The stricken children
we're from the same school, and caught
the germs playing together.
Agricultural department officials are
of the opinion that children who fon-
die their pet cats are liable to infec.
ton from germs carried from a neigh.
| borhood having an epidemic, and for
that reason will carry on its extensive
| experiment and investigation.
No money has been set aside for
the investigation, although an attempt
has been recently made to get the
Rockefeller institute 10 take up the
| investigation. At present the work
will be done by the officials of the ag.
ricultural department
Mrs. Henry l.. West. wife of former
Commissioner West, and president of
| the Washington Cat club, is not thor
oughly in accord with the methods In
vogue for the determination of cats
Mrs. West, in fact, does not think
much of the traps which the health
department has on hand to kidnap
stray cats.
While the health department may
be doing a great work in the extermi
nation of vagabond cats" said Mrs
West, 81 do not exactly approve of the
methods used
There have been many pet cats
| missing the past year," said Mrs
| West, and l should not be surprised
If some Of the cats destroyed by the
people are looking for. Six thousand
one hundred and thirty-two cats were
| killed during the past fiscal year, &C
cording to statistics"
When the health department cap
lures a cat it is killed, and that Is the
end of 1t. The agricultural depart
ment Intends to go further. 1t plans
| to have the brain of the cat extracted
and sent to its laboratories, where
examination will be made to see if the
cat has been afflicted with rabies. The
| fur also will undergo a rigid test tc
determine if it was infected with

While the effort to determine II
cats transmit disease is a new idea

When Gen. John A. Johnston was d

MARKETING FARM PRODUCTS

Secretary Houston devotes b
chapter Of his annual report to the
subject OF marketing farm pro-
ducts. From a summary of the re-
port we take the following:
The Secretary points out that it
is now becoming clear that we must
definitely and aggressively ap-
proach these newer and, relatively
speaking, urgent questions, and
must direct our attention to the
broader economic problems of rural
life. We have suddenly been
brought face to face with the fla, t
that in many directions fur Their
production waits on better methoGs
of distribution, but that the field
of distribution presents problems
which raise in very grave ways
the simple issue of justice. That
under existing conditions the
farmer does no. get what he should
for his product; that the consum-
er is required. TO pay an unfair
price; ands that unnecessary bur
dens are imposed under existing
systems of distribution, there can
be no question. The various mar
ketin9 projects are outlined. These
projects cover marketing surveys,
methods, and costs of marketing,
including available market supplies
in given production areas; demand
at consuming centtrs; cold and
other storage systems: marketing
systems and prices; and costs of
wholesale and retail distribution
of farm products. There are studies
in transportation problems and the
elimination of waste in transporta-
tion to be prosecuted; a study of
city marketing and distribution, q
study of grades, and finally COOP
erative production and marketing
must be investigated. Special en-
phasis is laid on the necessity for
standardizlng agricultural products
as prerequisite to proper market
ing.
The point is made and emphasized
that in this work of cooperative
effort equity and justice must be
kept in mind. Cooperation does
not mean an organization which
shall attempt to establish a Closed
market and to fix prices. We should
condemn this as strictly in one field
OF industry as in any other. The
aim should be an economic arrange
ment which shall facilitate produc-
tion and lead the producer to stand
ardize aud to prepare his produ ct
for the market, and to find the
readiest and best market for his
product. Such actions will result
in gam to the producer, as well as
to the consumer.
