Lawyers in Congress.

If the present congress errs in too
much talking, how can it be otherwise,
in body to which the people send $50
lawyers, whose trade is to question
everything, yield nothing and talk by
the hour? That $50 lawyers should do
business together ought not to be ex-
pected.
The foregoing was written about the
present congress, of course? Not at all.
It was written upwards of l20 years
ago by Thomas Jefferson.
But it is as true today as it was then.

Seek Aid of Motorists.

"DO your bit and help Hoover by
carrying home the farm food products
you need" is the slogan of bulletin
which is being sent to every automo-
bile dealer and garage owner in the
state by the Good Roads Association
of Wisconsin.
With 10000 automobiles in Wis
consin and their carrying capacity the
association figures that an enormous
tonnage of farm food products can ba
hauled in these cars, thus relieving
our Over-burdened railway transporta-
ton. The basic fact of their appeal
is this:
There are over 10000 automobiles
in the state of Wisconsin. These au-
tomObiles are being used regularly in
the summer and fall-months for tour
ing in the country. On these trips the
owners can very readily pics up farm
food products which they need and
carry them into the city, resulting 10
a saving to them in the cost OF all
the product and the economic waste
from rail transportation and passing
through the hands of the middleman.
In addition to making each pleasure
trip a fOod-product-carryi trip, spe-
cial trips can be made into the country
by owners. A couple Of such speclal
trips to buy from the farmers Would
supply the average family.

Cheap carnivaIs Hit by Council.

The state council of defense has
gone after the cheap carnival.
The following statement by Secre-
tary A. H. Melville has just been sent
to all county councils and the cam
paign is on against immoral shows:
There is always some criticism OF
travelling shows of a doubtful charac-
ter, but this year it is especially Wig
orous. In view of the state and ma
tiOnal campaigns for economy, 1t Is
absurd to encourage the Sc wasteful Or
CARNATIONS merely for the sake of the
amusement which they furnish.
"HeaIthful amusement and whole
some entertainment, * economically
handled, should be encouraged. Car
nivals carefully planned by local COM
mittees are usually of this type. These
the state council of defense has no
disposition to criticize, but 1t wishes
emphatically to place its stamp OF dis
approval upon the floating carnival or
low character, which visits towns only
to bleed them as much as possible.
1.-The average travelling street carnl-
val makes no educational and little
financial contribution to the commun-
ity. The character of amusement and
entertainment Is not always whole
some. The moral tone is usually not
high.
THE state council of defense.
therefore, urges that the county coun-
ellis take every legitimate step to dis
courage people from patronizing street
carnivals and similar organizations OF
doubtful character"

"In these 30 cities, 691 samples of
milk were collected from nearly as
many dealers Or persons selling milk.
In a few cases duplicate samples were
collected from the same dealer if more
than one wagon was used. The aver
age per cent of fat in the 691 samples
was 3.8 per cent. Only seven samples,
or 1.O1 per cent of all samples collect
ed contained less than 3 per cent of
fat. and 295 or 42.69 per cent con-
mined from per cent to 90 per cent
OF fat. The 347 samples offered for
sale as cream contained an average of
24.1 per cent of fat, with 20 or 5.76
per cent of the samples containing less
