SENATOR SHOOTS SURRENDER.

Senator Smoot is good fighter, skillfui
and persistent, but IN one battle which he
has waged long and hard and bravely he
now admits defeat and surrender
When Senator kendrick of Wyoming
recently presented long petition and
asked that it be printed in the record,
Senator Smoot and Senator Smith of
Arizona made their customary objection
to such useless extravaganza and waste of
white paper, and asked that the petition
be referred to the appropriate committee.
This reference would have served every
useful and proper purpose and preserved
to the petitioners every right OF petition
constitutionally guaranteed. But the
Wyoming Senator persisted in his demand
it would tickle tho vanity OF the sIgncrs
TO see their names in the Record. The two
faithful obiectorS carried their fight to I'M
usual length in such matter to a vote by
roll call, and were defeated 50 Senators
voting to print the petition, ii voting
against II.
Then. war weary and disguised, Sen
ator Smoot surrendered, saying: Mr.
President ] simply want TO give notice to
the chairman of the Committee on Print
ing that hereafter ] shall not object to re-
quests to print in the Record Senators
can present SUM that VIII require tnou-
sand pages Of the Record each day, rs far

want the chairman of the Printing Com
mittee to EXPECT me hereafter TO object 10
anything being printed in the Record Let
us notify the country that the govern
gressonal Record j. open TO exploit the
views Of anyone upon any question"
SO some prominent citizens of Wv
OmIng will see their names in the Record
and greatly rejoice thereat, though aware
that they have made more acute the
nationwide shortage of print paper

BUTTER AND MILK
TAKE DROP DOWN
Butterfat At SO Cents And Milk At
$2.65 A Hundred New Prices; Still
Above Average

The price of buttcr dropped off
one cent this week, while the con-
densery price for milk fell ten cents
per hundred pounds.
Butter is now at As cents. which
means that the Lynden Creamery will
probably fix its butterfat price at Sc
cents. The milk price at the condens-
cries will be s265 per hundred.
In spite of the reductions, prices
of dairy products are still abnorm-
ally above the average the farmers
have received in recent years. In
1914 and 1915, the average price re-
ceived for butterfat was 80 cents.
The following explanation of the
condensed milk situation is given in
tn Seattle P l.:
THE condensed milk situation has
been complicated 1y the reduction
of the allotment of shipping space to
Europe, and the increasing supply of
milk, which the domestic markets
are unable to absorb. Advices receiv-
ed by condensaries indicate that Can
adian authorities will not permit the
importation of condensed milk, ex-
cept under military direction, and
present appearances show that the
commodity is due to go considerably
lower, which would force down the
price to producers and break down
the butter market"
