REGIONAL MILK
IRIBUNALSAR
PLACED IN USE

Regional milk tribunals, federally
appointed, is the latest way of solving
the whole milk problem of metropoli-
tan areas. This plan has been adopt
ed by the United States food admins
tration following requests for aid from
contending parties in the milk dis
tricts of Chicago, and New York. In
these and other cities the increases
IA the prices OF milk have created dis
content among consumers. In justifi-
cation the producers have claimed ris'
ing production costs, and the distribut-
ors have alleged rising costs Of dis
tributton.
The plan of the United States food
administration, according to G. Harold
Powell, In charge of the division OF
perishable commodities. is to set up
regional federal commissions on which
producers, distributors, consumers,
milk experts and the public at large
Will be represented These commits.
sions will be formed. so far as can be
done, from citizens in the districts
concerned. They will at once begin
public hearings, giving all parties in
interest an opportunity to assemble
and present all milk data and atten-
iant facts that may bear upon equit-
able prices, decide according to the
facts, and make reports that will ad-
wise the public of the true status OF
the milk industry in each Of the dis
tricts named.
AS the costs OF producing and dis
tributing milk vary. it is not ex-
pected that a uniform national price
will be the outcome; but there is rea-
son to believe that important reforms
may be inaugurated both among pro-
ducers andsdistributors as result OF
the inquiries to be conducted. An
nouncement was made today at the
food administration that the personnel
OF the commission for the New York
and Chicago dairy districts will be
completed within a few days.

Don't Cheaper the Uniform.

An Army officer driving an automo-
bile on one Of the busiest streets in
Washington openly violated one Of
the Districts traffic rules, thereby
blocking up a line of machines for a
whole block. \ traffic policeman told
him that he was violating the rules
and would have to turn around and
go back.
The officer said I am an army Of
lcer and will do what l - please. "
That may go in Germany but it won't
go here returned the policeman, and
the officer was forced to turn back.
This is just an incident, but the
traffic man was absolutely right
Washington people recognize the uni
form of our army and all that it
represents, but there is no reason why
a uniform should be accorded the pri-
vICge Of breaking the law with i'm
punity. 1t borders too close on Ger
man militarism to suit the American
people.
The incident which is cited in the
hrst Paragraph, is but typical of a
number Of others which have been
noticed around the city. 1t would be
well for the War and Navy depart
ments to tell their officers just to what
extent their uniform makes them dir-
fegent from civilians.

tApologia pro Vita Mea and to Mr.
TcnnysOn)
Knit. knit. knit
On thy cold gray wool like the sea
And l would that my tongue could
utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
But one cannot utter thoughts,
When knitting away like me,
For every sentence is broken
By knit two, purl two, and three"
Oh. well for the fisherman's boy
That he shouts with his sister at
play!
Oh, well for the sailor lad
That he sings in his boat on the
bay.
They know not of stitches dropped
OF ridges and ribs and purls;
They can, if they want to, read
Or take thought Of dress and curls.
But the stately DANES knit on,
And the debu -antes do, too,
And whether in auto, in train or home
'Tis all that they care to do.
And the shapely sweaters move on
Till every one has his fill.
But oh, for the sight Of a quiet hand
And a needle that is still!
Knit, knit, knit,
Nothing but knitting 1 see,
But the quiet grace of a day that Is
dear

HOLLAND LETTER
The Biggest Daily
Financial News Feature of
the Country's Best Newspapers.

DR.. Harvey W. Wiley is not the
only authority upon food who mas
pointed to the far Northwest saying
that the war will be won by the allies
by means of food supplies from the
wheat fields of the Northwest. Mr.
Hoover has not said this publicly,
but he is quoted as having intimated
to his friends that the Northwest
must be depended upon for furnish
ing much the greater part of the
wheat which is needed by the allies
and their armies. Although there Is
disappointment that the climate was
not a benefactor this year so far as
the wheat harvest is concerned, new
crtheIess there is an extraordinary
discrepancy between the shortage OF
wheat and the wonderfully abundant
surplus of other food products which
have been and are now being har-
vested.
1t never can he reported with ac-
curacy what the harvests are until
they have been gathered. The aSri-
cultural area OF the United States IS
so great that it is inconCeivable that
bad weather will seriously impair all
our crops. lot sCorching winds did
burn up q considerable part of the
Indian corn Just before 1t was begin

rart Of the country which DIR. Wiley
is reported to have said would furnish
the chief means for making the war
effective, namely, abundant wheat.
Notwithstanding the fact that for
weeks there was little rain i'm the
Northwest, nevertheless the crop re-
ports which were received in New
York since the first Of September in
dictate that there will be a fairly
good harvest and that the prosperity
Of Wisconsin, Minnesota and South
Dakota will be abundant. In fact
Minnesota and Wisconsin are now
gathering crops uneXCelled in amount
by any that have been harvested
heretofore in those States. So also
South Dakota will harvest crop
considerably in excess of that of a
good average year crop: and a part
Of North Dakota Is yielding abun-
dantly to the farmers. Montana is
very disappointing. The harvest
there this year will show a smaller
Weld than at any time since Montana
became conspicuous as wheat-pro-
