100000 Year to U. S.: Repre-
sentative Tells Film Men.

Wartime taxes on motion pictures
will remain in force indefinitely. This
was made plain yesterday when rep
resentatives Of the film industry ap-
peared before the House Ways and
Means Committee to plead for re-
lief.
Members OF the committee turned
deaf ear to the contention Of the
picture men that their business Is be-
ing Disseminated against, in that it
is required to pay three taxes. a
burden placed on no other line Of en-
deavor. Questions propounded to the
witnesses left little doubt that there
Is a unanimity OF opinion in the com
mittee that the taxes shall be con-
tinued.
In explaining his opposition to the
repeal plea, Representative Fordney.

the committee. declared such action
would result in a loss OF $50, 900 in
taxes annually. in face Of the indi-
cations of a deficit in the Treasury

presented by Charles c. Pettijohn,

By WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE


its afternoon session yester-
day showed plainly that it
stands for the middle majority
against the lunatic fringe of
the radicals and the reaction
ary group OF the conserva-
tivcs. 1t is organized for
business. not for rhetoric.
The rules finally adopted by
the conference provide that
the minorities on the left and
on the right may explain
themselves, but that they may
not obstruct the work of the
conference.
Curiously enough, the or
ganization of the conference
follows closely the lines Of the
Russian Soviet and is as far
as possible in its organization
from the American Congress
or the American idea of a
political convention. The rules
adopted provide:
That every resolution or
plan to be considered by the
conference shall be introduced
from a group with the as
sent Of the majority Of the
group" which does not mean
group approval.
Second-That the resolution
or plan proposed shall be read
to the conference and sub
mitted without debate to the
general committee of fifteen
made up of five from each
group.
Third-That every resolu-
ton submitted G the general
committee shall be considered
and reported out of the gen
eral committee to the confer
ence, either favorably or un-
favorably, and
Fourth-That a minority of
FIVE in the general committee
may make a minority report,
explaining why they differed
with the majority vote.
Group committees of FIVE
may also explain their reasons
for differing from their group,
but may not record their votes.
Thus one sees that the re-
dictionary or radical minority
of any group has little show
for making a disturbance.
They can have their views re-
corded but not voted, and thus
the opinion of the middle ma
jority will find easy expression.
The address of Secretary
Lane and the report of the
Committee on Rules and Or
der of Business indicate that
the conference is beginning
with a determination to do
something.
Mr.. Lanes speech denounced
the ignorance and arrogance
of reaction in industry, COM
pairing it to the ignorance and
arrogance in Prussianism, and
the Committee on Rules and
Order of Business, in its re-
port, trimmed down to a skel-
eton the business to be trans
acted upon the floor of the
convention.
Mr.. Lanes speech was a
liberal speech; it advocated the
"step at a time" which is the
slogan of the evolutionary So
cialists, and the report of the
Committee on Rules-while it
adopted the method of corpor-
alton organization - provided
for an effective machinery for
results.

Kerr Defeats Reuther and
Ring In Sloppy Game
Which Is Decided in 10Th
Inning; Weaver's Hit
Starts Rally.
CNCY FANS PREPARED
FOR BIG CELEBRATION
White Sox Come from Be-
hind n Sixth Inning, Scor-
ing Three Runs OFF
Shoots of Reuther Who
Held Them in First.
By DAMON RUNYON.

Redland Field, Cincinnati, Oct.
Little "Dicky" Kerr, the mite
of a man who is Chicago's last
hope in the world series of 1919,
again pitched the White Sox to
victory over the Cincinnati Reds
this afternoon. With the Sox in
complete rout, and banquet
ready to be spread by Cincinnati
in honor of the home team club
for winning the championship of
the baseball world, the tiny left
handler today stopped the rush of
the Reds as he stopped them over
in Chicago last week.
At one time the Reds had a
four-run lead and the club behind
him seemed fading away, but the
wee Texan never gave up.
Extra InnIngk
The game went into ten innings,
and the final score was to 4 in favor
OF the Sox. 1t was the second game
they have taken in the series. And
Kerr won them both. Up to the sixth
inning the Reds had the worlds cham
pionship in their grasp. -.
Walter Reuther, the star OF the first
game, and potential hero OF the Sc
rios suddaply faila5 D,t No..
manager OF the Reds. made a des-
perate effort to hold the Sox by put
ting in Jimmy Ring. who had shut
them out in one game with three hits.
The Chicagoans put the winning run
over on Ring in the tenth.
Buck Weaver. the game third base
man OF the Sox. dropped a two bagger
into left field. ''Shoeless Joe" Jack
son bunted under instructions from
Kid Gleason. leader of the Sox. As
Jackson's bat finally met the ball af-
ter one miss it fell just in front of
the plate. 'Wa'a Bill'' Rariden. the
Hoosier backstop of the Reds. ripped
of his mask and Ieaped for the ball.
Raridcn gathered up the ball all right.

Throw Too SLOW.
1t was too late to get Weaver, VINO
was already sliding into third. so
Rariden threw to first in an effort to
get Jackson The long legs of the
Carolinian were straddIing out beyond
the bag a yard ahead of the throw.
The 1900 Cincinnati fans who had
come to the ball yard expecting to
celebrate the formal transfer of the
world championship and who had
been jeering the White Sox only a
short time before grew very silent
as Happy Felsch stepped to the
plate
Felsch has been dubbed Suicide
Happy" by satirical critics because

the game, but Ring struck him out

MAKE FARMHOUSE CHEERFUL
An Investment That Brings Profitable
Returns-WhoIesome Relaxation
10 Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Apart from the esthetic value to be
derived from 1t, beautifying the farm
dwelling, modernizing Its equipment, is
good business. 1t is an investment
that brings profitable, returns. The
farmer and his family need wholesome
relaxation just as much as any person
constantly employed. The home
should be the place In which to OBJ
tain It.
An attractive dwelling with an invit-
ing approach acts as magnet on the
tired toiler. The sight Of flowers and
a well-kept lawn is a relief from the
drab clods Of the plowed field, the
brightness of the blossoms a change
from the sameness In the color Of
growing crops. A CHEEKY interior at
once dIspels care and bright rooms
induce rest.
Every dollar judicIously spent on
labor-savlng devices and for sanitary
conveniences is an investment and la
bor-saving contrivances q necessity In
these days of enlightenment. They

cline and prolong life. :

every ten days. A representative Of
the packing company receives from the
various factories the cheese which is
brought in by wagon, and Immediately
issues a check on the local bank for all
cheese received. The bank in turn
promptly pays the patrons of the fac
tories for the cheese.
Creating Interest.
The plan of marketing milk through
cheese factories has increased the in
terest in cheese manufacturing
throughout the southern mountain dis
tricts. The improved market service
Is not only creating much interest and
enthusiasm for cheese production, but
incidentally it is creating interest in
other farm products. Recently one Of
the field men of the department Of
agriculture was at one of the factories
and observed many farmers bringing
In wagon loads Of potatoes which were
hauled to the cheese-shipping point for
shipment In refrigerator car.
In a number of counties arrange
ments have been made to obtain cheese
boxes from local lumber concerns in
order to relieve the extra cost of ship
ping these boxes long distances. On
account of the war, men cheese max
ers are lard to get, so women are be-
Ing trained for the work. Already five
women have been engaged as cheese
makers.

RETURNS FROM TESTING

Testing seed corn for germina-
tion is the least expensive meth
cd Of increasing the yield of
corn per acre.
Without seed testing, all other
means of increasing the yield
will fall short of what they
should accomplish.
The testing Of seed corn by
any Of the approved methods Is
not difficult.
The time spent in testing seed
corn is likely to be paid for at
the time of planting and is GER
tain to be paid for MANIFOLD at
harvest.
Corn that appears to be sound
does not always germinate. II
no test is made, considerable
quantities Of sound-appearing
corn are likely to be planted only
to rot in the ground. If tested,
this corn would not be planted
and would serve all the purposes
of good feed.
A field planted to tested seed
corn requires little or no replant-
ing. All plants have an even
start and develop evenly to a
fuller yield than where stunted
replants are present.

Cheap Containers Best.

The cost and treatment Of containers
have much to do with success In mar
keting by parcel post. A container
should be cheap. neat, and light. The
amounts involved in most parcel-post
shipments Of farm produce do not war
rant the use of an expensive, heavy
package because Of the first cost and
the charges for postage. The con-
tainer should be adapted TO the par
ticular produce shipped and should be
whole and clean.
The trouble Of returning empty con-
tainers often influences people to dis
continue parcel-post marketing. The
city dweller often has little room to
Keep containers, and It Is not practi.
cable to return them slngly, for the
cost Of postage is high on small ship
ments. Then, too, 1t Is often incon.
venient to take bulky package to tho
post Office station. If the customer
can not conveniently store them and
return three or four ut one time the
producer should, If possible. use con-
talners that are cheap enough for a
single service. Containers should new
er be bought with price as the only
consideration, however, as they should
be strong enough to carry the contents
safely. For many shipments cheap
splint baskets are satisfactory and the
cost isso small as to make the return
of them unnecessary. Any plan con-
cerning the return of containers should
be clearly understood by both producer
and consumer before shIpments are
made.

their own through which a campaign
against hog cholera could be con-
ducted.
In 1918 they had farm bureau,
with active committees in every COM
munity in the county-which accounts
for the difference. Now they can get
prompt cooperation in any move for
the good of farming. Hog cholera had
long been taking toll Of the hogs Of
Dunkin county, and in April, 1917, the
county bureau decided to inaugurate
general eradication campaign. Each
community committee was notified that
the county agent and veterinarian Of
the United States department Of agrL
culture would visit the community on
a certain date, prepared to vaccinate
hogs. Farmers were urged to get their
hogs into pens beforehand, neces-
sary preliminary, as hogs are ordi-
narily allowed to run at large in that
region.
The response to the appeal Of the
local committeeman was prompt and
general. Hogs were offered for vac
cination in every community in the
county. In short time $500 animals,
on $50 farms, had been given the
simultaneous treatment, and the dis
ease was apparently checked. A few
weeks later, however, other outbreaks
occurred and the work was resumed,
1000 hogs, on "A farms, being vacci-
mated. Now, although hog cholera has
not been stamped out altogether, 1t is
apparently under control and its vir-
tual eradication seems assured, since
the farmers Of the region have been
convinced by actual demonstration Of
the value Of vaccination.
The campaign has shown, also, the
practical value of the farm bureau or
ganizatlon. Without the aid of the
farmers own organization, the county
agent and the federal veterinarian
would have been almost powerless to
accomplish much in reeting the emer-
gency.

CHEESE MAKING
IS PROGRESSING
Car Loads Now Being Shipped
From Mountain Districts Which

PRODUCT OF GOOD QUALITY
Recent Advanced Steps Have Been
Perfecting of Marketing System
Creating Much Interest and
Enthusiasm In Production.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Previous to 1914 the South shipped
no cheese. In 1915, $4,000 worth was
manufactured and shipped from south
ern mountain districts, and during
1917 cheese to the value of, $246,000
was manufactured. There are now
43 cheese factories in operation in the
mountain sections of the South which
ship carloads of good quality cheese
to market periodically.
The rapid strides in the development
of cheese factories in the mountain re-
gions of the South, as the result of the
efforts of the United States department
of agriculture, cooperating with state
agricultural colleges, is shown force
fully in reports of the progress Of the
work coming to the department. No
cheese was shipped from the South
previous to 1914. Although smaller
lots were shipped earlier, the first car
load of southern-produced cheese was
shipped from North Carolina and Ten
nessee on July "a, 1918. This was
a cooperative shipment from eight To-
cal factories and comprised about 16,-
600 pounds, the value of which was
approximately % cents pound.
Factories in Mountains.
Forty-three cheese factories now are
in operation in the mountain regions
OF the South where cold springs of wa
ter on each farm provide excellent fa-
cilities for keeping the milk in such a
condition that it produces high quail
ity of cheese. Abundant rainfall, lux
uriant grass, high altitude, and mod
crate temperature all combine to make
this region especially adapted for the
production of cheese which can COM
pete on the market successfully with
that produced in any other section Of
the country, say dairy specialists of
the United States department Of agri-
culture.
The most recent advanced steps in
the progress Of the cheese-making in
dustry in the South have been the
perfecting of the marketing system
whereby one Of the large packing COM
1 panies sends a refrigerator car to a
central shipping point periodically.
Since the initial carload shipment from
North Carolina and Tennessee, car
loads have been going forward nearly

now the call is for q return to grass
meadows and pasture lots and live
stock.
In the years of strife and stress
many farmers plowed up permanent
pastures and meadows and devoted
them to grain crops to meet the worlds
need for bread. Now that farming is
to be restored to a peace-time basis,
the United States department Of agri-
culture says 1t seems wise that many
of these lands be reseeded to grass.
The signing of the armistice found
the United States well supplied with
foods, but comparatively short on
feeds, but with an urgent demand for
meat animals, in the production Of
which feeds and pasturage are essen
tial.

course, does not urge abandonment Of
