The SCRATCH PAD

What congress needs is men who do
more and talk less.
Putting down booze is the national
pastime, participated in by prohibi-
tionists and whiskey soaks.
No doubt you are right Imogen. A
man is broke who has much to do with
broker.
A man in Massachusetts bought
drink, paid for it with an Irish potato,
and got a nickle back in change.
A speaker in New York has advised
girls not to marry pacifists. And in
our opinion, they wouldn't even quail
fly as mail men.
Ruthlessness is not confined to
U-boats, as any man will say, who
has suffered from hats in the moving

With an illuminating flash OF Wis

should be stopped.
Considering the high coA OF meat
the New York millionaire who paid

travaGance as he was afflicted with
q Gepraved appetite.
The present tightIy-drawn- back
style Of hairdrossjag Qike Valeska

girl is about to emerge from her
clothes, that a timid man turns his
head away and covers his eyes.
AS there is no wind so bitter but

ISOLATION to think of the speech which
was kept corked up in Senator La
Toilette while Senator Hitchcock
realizing the determination of tht
Wild Wisconsinian to spill the inter.
national beans, spoke out the last few
hours of congress.

SPRING COLDS ARE DANGEROUS

Sudden changes of temperature and
underwear bring spring colds with
stuffed-up head, sore throat and gen
eral cold symptoms. A dose of Dr.
Kings New Discovery is sure relief,
this happy combination of antiseptic
balsams clears the head, soothes the
irritated membranes and what might
hsTe been lingering cold is broken
up. Don't stop treatment when re-
lief is first felt, as a half cured cold
is dangerous. Take DIR. Kings New
Discovery till your cold is gone.-Adv.

The Fish Report
The Tribune has received a copy of
the report of the State Shell Fish
Commission. in which Commissioner
T. R. Hodges has set forth the work

paying all expenses of deputy and
patrol service and the purchase of

make such a report-Tampa Tribune.

"GRAVE DANGER OF STRIKE"
Milk Producers May Have TO
Clash with Dealers

The board of directors of the New
England Milk Producers Association
has decided to take issue with the milk
dealers on the question as to how and by
whom the price for milk and dairy pro-
ducts to those who produce II shall be
| fixed, and have decided on July 10 as
the.date when the issue shall be brought.
"This does not necessarily mean that
there will be strike-at the same time
there is grave danger of one, T." says an
announcement BY the association,
Every effort is being made to prevent
the situation becoming acute and it is
not improbable that wiser counsels will
yet prevail among the milk dealers and
they will recognize the rights of the
producers to insist that they shall have
an opportunity to dispose of their pro-
duct at fair price which will enable
them to show reasonable and proper
profit If these counsels do not prevail
there is no doubt that the producers
will make every reasonable effort to
establish and maintain their just rights.
Secretary Richard Pattee of the New
England Milk Producers Association
said yesterday that the officers of the
association would leave nothing undone
to prevent the calling of a strike July
10. However, he stated ''if it has
to come, it will come, and we are ready
for it, We do not want it; we have
tried and shall try to prevent it, but
there are certain principles for which
the farmers of New England must
stand else they will be driven from the
business. The N, E. M. p. A. has not
arrived at decision hastily, nor in the
heat of passion. Its board of directors
has calmly considered the situation and
decided that only one course of action is
open, That is to give the dealers all
the privileges possible, but stand firm
for thu principle of securing reason
able price and permitting the men who
produce the goods to name that price.
If we must fight to maintain that course
of action, we shall fight; and | am con-
fident we shall be victorious. On the
other hand we shall do everything in
our power to prevent such fight occur
ring and we still hope to be successful
in this effort.
