From President wilson's speech at the
tomb of Washington on July =. 1919:
These are the ends for which the as
ISOLATION Of peoples of the world are
lighting and which must be conceded
them before there can be peace:
1. The destruction OF every arbitrary
power anywhere that can separately,
secretly and Of its single choice dis
turb the peace of the world; or IL 1t
cannot be presently destroyed. at least
its reduction to virtual impotence.
1.-THE settlement OF every ques-
ton, whether Of territory, Of sover-
eighty. OF economic arrangement or OF
political relationship, upon the basis
of the free acceptance OF that set
tlennent by the people Immediately
concerned. and not upon the basis OF
the material interest," or advantage or
any other nation or people which may
desire a different settlement for the
sake of its own exterior influence or
mastery.
III-The consent OF all nations to
be governed in their conduct toward
each other by the same principles or
honor and OF respect Tor the common
laws of civilized society that govern
the individual citizens Of all modern
states in their relations with one an
other, to the end that all promises and
covenants may be sacredly observed,
no private plots or conspiracies
Matched, no selfish injuries wrought
with IMMUNITY and a mutual trust es-
tablished upon the foundation OF
mutual respect for right.
Iv.-The establishment OF an Or
ganization OF peace which shall make
1t certain that the combined power of
free nations will check every invasion
Of right and serve to make peace and
justice the more secure by anording
definite tribunal Of opinion to which
all must submit and by which every
International readjustment that can
not be amicably agreed upon by the
peoples directly concerned shall be
sanctioned.

The Federal Food Administrator

The Federal Food Administrator
for this state has ordered regulat-
ions effecting the handling, shipp-
ing and manufacture of dairy pro-
ducts which all producers of cream
should become thoroughly familiar
with. The dairy regulations call for
the elimination of all cream stations
at points where well managed crea-
meries are operated and limits
the number of cream stations at all
other points to one for each 100, 600
pounds Of butterfat annually shipp-
ed from such points. The purpose
Of eliminating cream stations is to
reduce duplication of expense in
operating same as such unnecessary
expense is always borne by either
the producer or consumer. Also
when several cream stations operate
at a single point the element of
competition tends to discourage
production and delivery of high
quality product, which results in
low prices to the producer and
poor quality product to the consum-
er. No high quality standard can
be successful maintained at points
where keen competition in cream
buying exists, and where several
cream stations operate at a single
point it is usually true that one or
more of these act as agents for
centralizers distantly removed.
thus involving unnecessary sbipp-
ing charges, avoidable delay in
shipment, and poor quality cream
BY the time it reaches the distant
churning point.
