The reduction in the annual ap-
preparation for the department Of
agriculture is singularly ill-timed
and inopportune. inasmuch as food
production in this country needs
every stimulus and announcement
consistent with wise policy. As
Sec'y Meredith points out, the dol

~. The appropriation ought prop
erly to be larger than in previous
years in order 10 continue the same
work. The current bill carries So
100000 less than the department
estimates and $1,1S5,000 less than
last year.
Among important phases OF gov
eminent work that will suffer are

servation, grain supervision, and
the dissemination Of market data.

spent during the next 10 years The
feeling apparently is strong In con-
gress that the nations fighters
should receive some tanENlle reward
fcr their sacrifice Of health and
time and opportunity. The farmers
echo this sentiment, but feel that
funds might better be devoted to
the settlement OF former service

their labor is most needed than to
the reclamation OF public lands in

The result was instantly crafty

The bear gained on the man for
several feet of film. Then the man
with more agility than you would
expect from the kind OF a man who
would wear a silk hat.
The bear reached the foot OF the
tree, gave a nasty look toward the
branches where the feet OF the silk
hated man were being gathered up
after him, and began 10 climb. Then
followed a scene well up in the tree,
with the man swaying on a limb and
the bear open-mouthed swarming
up after him Then there was a
click in the camera The film had
run out.
We hunted frantically through the
box for the rest OF it. But there
wasn't any rest of it,. We did not
know, and shall probably never know
whether the bear munched the man,
throwing his clothing 10 the ground
as a monkey throws down the husk
OF a cocoanut, or whether an aero

Another search through the box
availed us nothing. All the films
were like that. They just got you
excited and interested when they
coldly quit on you. The manufac-

these were remnants of plays that
had been given up at rehearsal so
long ago that even the scenario
writer would not remember what
happened.

fortunately was detected in time,
has shown us that they are excel
