"But-but, ah-but the marriage
licenses are only to be procured at
the courthouse" blundered the floor

unable for the first time to supply
customer with what he wanted.

Denver.-Drastic efforts to bring
relief to Colorado communities which
are facing heavy crop losses through
contested car movements were under
taken in Washington by Herbert
Hoover, national food administrator.
He directed railroads to have all cars
loaded to the limit of safety. and sent
waning at the same time to farmers
and growers that unless they comply
with this proyision the railroads VIII
be authorized to place shipping en-
barge ON their crops.
In some of the southern and west
srn communities of Colorado only half
of the perishable fruits have been
packed for shipment, and these, to-
gether with the northern districts that
have big consignments Of potatoes.
are directly affected by the order, re-
ceived at the office Of Thomas B.
Stearns. food administrator for Colo
RADIO.
This action follows efforts OF the
Colorado Council of Defense, the Pub
lie Utilities Commission and the Colo
RADIO food administration to urge upon
shippers the necessity for heavy load
ing at this season. It more directly
follows the appeal made by railroad
freight officials to the national COM
mission on car service. in Washing
ton. to prevail upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission to issue emor-
gency orders that would compel ship
pers to load apples and potatoes to
carrying capacity of cars.
The railroads Of Colorado took the
position that while they were strain
ing every effort to meet the tremen-
dous crop production in the Arkansas.
North Fork and San Luis valleys. a.
we'll as other centers. it was quite evil
dent that growers, in their anxiety to
get the fruit to the market, were
working individually instead OF collec-
lively.
One of the. latest shipments out OF
the San Luis valley received the fol-
lowing comment from an inspector:
Eighteen cars of potatoes were
shipped. Tho minimum loading II
sc, 900 pounds. but these eighteen cars
averaged $4,000 pounds each. In other
words, these shippers were doing their
patriotic duty by making five cars do
the work of seven"
Growers in the San Luis valley arc

storage places. They have put into
execution suggestions coming from

tees of the Colorado Defense Council
