q High food prices likely would re-
ceive a severe jolt IL every city with
a population of 100000 or more would
establish a city food terminal for its
wholesale trade, the bureau Of mar.
kets of the United States department
of agriculture believes.
All large European cities have such
markets and they have proved very
helpful in keeping down the cost Of
food distribution. The cities Of this
country have been slow in adopting
any kind Of a unified terminal system.
Most of them n getting along as best
they can with no plan. All but those
of the smallest size usually have sew
eral scattered terminals at which food
products r unloaded from train, boat
O. truck. frequently the wholesale
houses are located at some distance
from the freight depots. This neces-
states loading the products into a
truck o. wagon, carting them acros
the city, and unloading them again
at the wholesale house.
ALI these expenses add to the price
the consumer eventually pays for his
food. A city terminal market elimi-
mates this unnecessary handling and
carriage, for under such an arrange
ment the wholesale district and the
terminal r brought together, and
the contents of cars or boats are un-
loaded directly into the wholesale
houses.
Delayed Planning Costly.
In recent years both New York and
Chicago have worked on the problem
of establishing a central terminal mar
ket, but the size Of those cities makes
1t a difficult problem and as yet no
practical solution has been found. The
situation in these cities has awaken
ed some of the smaller municipali-
ties-now growing at an amazing rate
Ito the value of a unified terminal
system, and the necessity of install
ling one before congestion increases.
Los Angeles and Atlanta, through
private capital, have been provided
with unified terminal markets, and
Seattle has a wholesale municipal
market. Other cities, in addition to
Chicago and New York, which are
working on this problem are Indian
apolis, Memphis, Tenn, and Wash
ington, D. @.
The idea of a terminal food mar
ket is simple. Under the plan which
it involves all wholesale houses are
built in a locality which is conve-
nient to all transportation lines. It
is not necessary or even desirable to
have them in the heart of the city.
where land values are high. The in
coming cargo of food is unloaded di-
rectly from the car or boat into a
wholesale house and is taken away by

Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands Of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con.
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the backy head
ache and loss Of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita.
bic and may be Respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds Of women claim that Dr..
Kilmers Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,

RUNS 1000 MILES IN
LESS THAN "a HOURS
Stamina, Reliability and Economy of
Overland Again Demonstrated to
be Supreme in Light Car
Field

4 new citation badge has been
pinned on the famous Overland stock
ar that ran 5,452 miles over Indiana
.ountry roads early this year. The new
citation is for q remarkable perform
ance in a race against the hour hand
of clock on the hard-riding Indian
apOlis speedway.
The Overland car, after being used
in road work for 1000 miles, made its
record of 1852 miles in 16S hours con-
tinuOus driving over frozen country
roads, early in March. Under those
conditions the car averaged 20.24 miles
to the gallon. 1t then went back into
service as a passenger car for road
statesmen and covered some $500 more
miles.
On top of this, it was sent out at
noon, August oath. on the indianapolis
Speedway, in an effort to travel 1000
miles before the hour hand of the clock
.ould complete its cycle. The car not
only ran 1000 miles but it did it in less
than the "a hours allotted.
The Indianapolis Speedway is con-
sidered one of the hardest race courses
in the world 1t was constructed of
brick and few repairs have been made
to the roadbed since it was laid ten
years ago. In that time the elements
have roughened it and today the car
that travels over it undergoes a more
racking vibration than would be re-
ceived upon the ordinary country road.

Speaker Sweet Leading Fight to
Bury Measure in the
Committee.
CONDITIONS CHANGED
Attorney General Mentions Action Of
Socialists Which Amended Consti-
tuition to Admit Only Amer
leans to Membership.

Albany, N. View York states five
| Socialist assemblymen sat unchal-
lenged throughout the opening pro-
ceedings of the special session of the
| 1920 legislature-the same which
ousted them early in the year at the
regular session as unfit to deliberate in
legislative councils.
The Socialists not only sat, voted
and debated resolution which sought
to GUST them again-but which appar-
emily is buried in judiciary committee
but also listened to a speech by
Speaker Thaddeus G. Sweet, instigatOr
of the original custer proceedings, in
which he maintained the necessity for
ousting them Is no longer as pressing
as it was a few months back.
Speaker Sweet Leads Forces.
Speaker Sweet even led the forces
which buried resolution by Colonel
Ransom P. Gillett, which called for a
second custer Of the five Socialists. 1t
was at the insistence of Sweet that the
resolution which declared the seats of
the Socialists ito be vacant was re-
ferred to the judiciary committee. In
dications were that even should the
resolution be resurrected from the jul
dicinary committee it will not prevail
upon the floor
Colonel Gillette, author of the reso-
luton, is the Republican member Of
the assembly from Columbia county.
Walman Fights Resolution.
Louis Waldman, one of the Social
lists, representing the Eighth New
York district, raised a point of order
on the reception Of the resolution. AS
semblyman Cuvillier raised the issue
that Waldman was not a member of
the house.
Speaker Sweet ruled that if VALID
man had taken the oath of office he
was a member. The speaker was
sustained by the house on an appeal
from the ruling.
Waldman's point of order was that
the resolution offered by Colonel Gill
lette was not a privileged resolution
and that it was not in order. Speaker
Sweet ruled the point not well taken.
Attorney General Newton said that
seating or unseatingsthe Socialists was
matter entirely for the assembly to
decide. In reference to the stand of
some assemblymen that the Socialists
are as guilty now as they were the
day they were expelled, the attorney
general said:
These men were expelled from the
assembly because they were members
of party which during the trial was
found to be disloyal and opposed to
our form of government Since the
trial l understand the Socialists have
eliminated or amended the un-Amer-
lean causes of their constitution"
Party Amends Its Rules.
The attorney geenral mentioned the
action of the Socialists National con-
vention, which amended it's constitu-
ton so that only American citizens
would be eligible for membership on
| the governing committees Of the party.
Previously any dues paying member
could have been a member of such
committee, whether or not citizen of
| the United States, thus making it pos
| sible for the governing committee to
be controlled by persons not citizens of
| the United States.
