clear of palpable defects"

"This is no time for little things. We

I'VE attribute honesty Of purpose to
the opposition and urge that the con-
test between the Democrats and the Re-

Milk Interests
Bitterly Opposed
TO Price Fixing g
Dairymen's Official Sees
Politics in the Recon-
mendation; Horton Is
Done With investigators

Producers and distributors Of milk
criticized portions of the report of
the Fair Price Milk Committee made
public yesterday. Albert Manning, sec
rctary Of the Dairymcn's League, and
Patrick d. Fox, vice president Of Bor-
den's Farm Products Company, issued
statements pointing out what they
termed the impracticability Of some of
the committees recommendations.
The committee, however, found an
adherent in Arthur Williams, Federal
Food Administrator for this district,
who said the report was constructive
and helpful.
Mr.. Manning declared that he was
opposed to governmental price fixing of
anything that is produced "whether it
is milk or rubber boots" The COM
mttee featured in its report recon-
mendations for commission to control
the milk industry and to have price
fixing powers.
III am not in favor of having Il
State Milk Commission appointed by a
Republican governor, or q Democratic
governor to tell farmers what they

s1f the state fixes a price for milk,

food necessity. Arc the American
people ready to accept this principle ?
People are going tc realize sooner
or later that milk and politics do not
mix"
MIR. Fox pointed out that six sugges-
tlons for cutting the price Of milk,
made in the report, could be followed
out without establishing an "unsatis-
factory milk commission He added
I'm my plan for a regulated monop-
oily, which | submitted to the Fair
Price Committee, showed that with
this monopoly, practically controlled
by the public, the city could be di-
vided into zones. The zoning plan
suggested by the committee would be
confiscatory. Milk companies could be
assigned arbitrarily to deliver milk in
districts far from their plants.
incidentally, the making Of the milk
industry public utility would involve
the taking over Of the control of COM
mercial enterprises without giving
anything in return.
"The report terms the present milk
price excessive. 1t modites this, how
ever, by saying that if the producers
figures are correct the price under the
present system is justified. The fig
ures we have given have been found
to be correct by the best accountants
in the city. Yet We agree with the
committee that the price is too high.
Under regulated monopoly, not fan-
tastic Utopian scheme, the system
could be revised and the price reduced.

went on with his wheelbarrow, which
was loaded, I remember, with stout
sacks Of meal and flour.
We went to the school at half past
eight. What a thrilling place it was
with it's. 78 children and its three
rooms. How noisy they were as they
waited in the schoolyard for the bell

legs encased in the tow breeches felt
as if they were on fire. I saw that
most of the village boys wore bought
en- clothes and fine boots. l looked
down at my own leather and was a
tower Of shame on a foundation Of
creased cowhide. Sally Dunkelberg
came in with some other girls and pre-
tended not to see me. That was the
hardest blow I suffered.
Among the handsome, well-dressed
boys of the village was Henry Wills
the boy who had stolen my water
melon. I had never forgiven him for
that or for the killing of my little hen.
The bell rang and we marched into
the big room, while a fat girl with
crinkly hair played on a melodeon.
Henry and another how tried To shove
me out of line and a big paper wad
struck the side Of my head as we were
marching in and after we were seated

Philadelphia lawyer, retired, who, In
the days of his active practice, was
notorious for his long-windedness.
On one occasion he had been spout

beckoned his associate and whispered: J,
"Cant you stop him, Jack?"
"Ill stop him in two minutes" Jack
replied confidently. And he wrote
and passed to the orator the following
note:
'fMy Dear Colonel-As soon as you
finish your magnificent argument
would like you to join me at the ho-
tel in a bumper of rare old Bourbon"
The lawyer halted in the midst OF
an impassioned period, put on his
glasses, and read the note that had
been handed him, then he removed his
glasses again and, taking up his hat
and bag, he said:
