Government Should lave
Control Of the Mer-
chant Marine
By STUART C. CIBBONEY.
Marine Lawyer
4 THATEVER may have been the
w opinion of the public a year

4 THATEVER may have been the
w opinion of the public year
ago as to government con-
trolled merchant marine, there can
be no doubt now that the matter
demands immediate action by con-
gress. The shipper can no longer
be quoted by assurances that pri-
vate capital will provide the ships.
It has not provided them, and his
situation is growing more desperate
each day. ACTION IS DEMAND
ED, NOT PROMISES, AND CON-
GRESS MUST PASS SOM E
MEASURE WHICH WILL GIVE
HIM RELIEF.
The surprising fact of the situa-
ton is that private capital, even
with the great inducements offered
to establish new ocean steamship
lines, hangs back and will not take
advantage of this wonderful oppor-
tunity. One is driven to the con-
clusion that Wall street wishes

The new shipping bill is not likely
to get very favorable consideration at
the present session of Congress, what
ever merits it might have. In the
first place, the idea of having ma
rine shipping commission similar to
the Interstate commerce commission
is absurd The interstate commerce
commission has control over all the
competing carriers in the country,
whereas, the shipping commission
could control only American shipping
and foreign competition would be
free from such control. Then the
proposed membership of Secretaries
McAdoo and Daniels on the commits
sion guarantees its failure.

MARK THIS MAN

Breathes there a man with soul Sc
dead
Who never to himself hath said,
MY trade of late is getting bad;
"I1l try another muslin ADJ"
If such there be, go mark him well;
For him no bank account shall swell
No angels watch the golden stair
To welcome home a millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
In local papers, oft displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly gain
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends; let no rude
sound
Disturb his solitude profound.
Here let him live in calm repose
Unsought except by men he owes.
And when he dies go plant him deep
That naught may break his dreamless
sleep,
Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loves SO well.
And that the world may know its loss
Place on his grave a wreath of moss
And on a stone above, Here lies
A chump who wouldn't advertise"

Now is the time to think of new
blouses and to make them ready fol
spring and summer. Already the ad
vance models for the coming season
are shown in variety SO great that 1t
bewilders the thrifty buyer who as
pires to making an early selection
To go about this in the right way it is
necessary to classify each blouse &C
cording to its character, and that is
determined by the use to which it is
to be put. The new offerings show
the shirt waist, the sport shirt, the
demidress, and the dressy blouse, and
all Of them developed in any one, or
two, of dozen materials.
Whatever the design, it may be de-
pended upon that the material is sheer
OF light in weight if not transparent,
nearly always washable, whether cot
ton, linen, or silk, and that combi-
nation of two fabrics is plentifully
shown in blouses as in dresses, among
the semidress and dressy models.
High necks and low necks are almost
equally in evidence, SO that there is
a choice of styles, and many dressy
blouses and few shirt waists fasten
in the back
Two beautiful models for dressy
wear are shown in the picture, and
they are representative styles. The
blouse at the left is made of georg-
cite crepe in white and maize color,
and has a Vshaped neck with high
turnover collar and long sleeves. The

BY means of the Babcock test, dairy
ing has been developed from one of
the most haphazard of industries to an
exact and attractive business enter
prise The Babcock test has been so
intimately connected with and largely
responsible for the progress in dairy
ing not only in this state, but through
out the country and the world, that
proficiency in it's use has become al
most synonymous with better COWS,
better milk and better farming.
1t has served as the necessary slim

side line to profession worthy of the
efforts of well-trained men. 1t has
made dairymen honest and has placed
dairying on a scientific basis.
