In a moment of misguided confi- dence in the resources of Florida the editor of our farm monthly, The Farm and Live Stock Record, pub lished an article on the Angora goat and another on the milch goat The responses that have poured in on him since have come near getting his goat"

Almost any Mamie will give milk while she is sucking kids, in fact all will. But the Tnggenburg, White Saanen. Maltese or other milch goats, which give from two to six quarts of milk daily, the varieties which most of our correspondents
 want, seem to be virtually non-exist- ent in Florida.

HARLAN WILL SOLVE
DELIVERY PROBLEM
Urges Shippers and Business
Men to Write to Him on
Congestion Status.

Suggestion that all shippers, export
ers, importers and business men present
write personal letters to him describing
their problems OF freight delivery was
made by James s. Harlan of the Inter
state Commerce Commission yesterday
afternoon during a meeting In the AS
sembly Room Of the Merchants Associa
ton for a discussion of store door de-
livery. the new plan whereby II Is hoped
to eradicate many OF the congestion
problems troubling business men who
ahve to depend on trucking.
At the solicitation of the Director
General OF Railroads Commissioner
Harlan called the meeting. Others who
made short speeches were Travis H.
Whitney. Public Service Commissioner
and w. E. Donges, New Jersey Public
Utilities Commissioner
Commissioner Harlan emphasized the
necessity FOR the cooperation OF all In
getting freight from piers quickly. He
described conditions obtaining last win
ter as extremely bad and said the
Railroad Administration had made up
its mind they were not to be repeated
again.
One fault OF the merchants said the
Commissioner. was that they often broke
up shipments into less than car loads
so increasing the costs OF transporta-
ton Another fault was shipping by ex-
press instead OF by freight. The ameli-
grafton of these conditions Is necessary
IL the country is to put forth its great
est strength this winter. This Is a
service by shippers. pot carriers SER
vice. and In the main IT is war SER
vice" declared Mr. Harlan.
He described the success OF store door
delivery in Britain and Canada. He
said the Railroad Administration ex-
poets to have the problems Worked out
by August Is and arrangements made
for freight deliveries that will be much
speedier than those in the past and
cause UNNECESSARILY less congestion.
The meeting closed with n general dis
cussion OF the subject during which a
number Of the 400 men present brought
forward questions for Commissioner
Harlan TO answer In practically all
cases he suggested a personal letter
During the discussion he declared tina,
an investigating committee found ware
houses in Chicago full OF freight because
OF the congestion In New York. Com
missioner Harlan has opened an office
at II East Thirty sixth street, where
letters on congestion problems may be
addressed TO him.
