BY GEORGE B. WATERS.
N. E. A. Washington Bureau.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-When
bread consumers get tired of paying
from 8 to cents pound for flour,
they can get il from Uncle Sam for
from 8 to Z cents. Only for this the
art OF making bread in the homes
would soon become a lost art.
Both white and whole wheat flour
Is now selling in most parts of the
country Tor around cents a pound,
1hls makes it waste of time and
fueI Tor the housewives to bake bread.
when they can buy it at 10 cents a
loaf. The strange thing about the
whole situation is, the housewives are
more particular about the kind of
hour they use than they are about
the kind of bread.
This is shown by the fact that
wheat for the high patent fiours has
gone up, despite the governments Of
fer OF millions of barrels of good flour
80 l-3 per cent below the regular
retail market.
Many Consumers Buy.
AT that there are many consumers
who are taking advantage of the U.
5. Grain Corporations offer.
Our campaign of placing jower-
priced fiours through the retail trade
is demonstrating that there is a sec
ton OF our people desirous of the
practice of thrift" declared julius ii,
Barnes, wheat director.
In fact, thrift may become as
contagious as extravaganza has been.
The flour offered by the govern
ment is called "U. S. Grain Coz pora-
ton Standard Pure Wheat Flour" It
Is made from unbleached, we'll dress
ed and properly milled, cleaned, sound
wheat. Most of it is made of soft
winter wheat, but may be blended.

means rents will continue to soar this
winter, it is believed in Washington.
Stated briefly, the position Of the
United States government anent the
Polish situation stands as favoring the
preservation Of the political independ-
ence and territorial integrity OF Pc
land and as opposing any dismember-
ment of Russia. The outlines of this
policy were set forth in note dis
patched by Secretary Colby to the Ital-
ian ambassador.
In discussing the Russo-Polish sit
uation resulting from the sweep OF the
Soviet armies into Poland, Secretary
Colby takes occasion to reiteratek the
previously expressed sympathy of the
United States government for the Rus
sian people as well as the governments
previously announced decision cot to
recognize the Soviet regime which is
characterized as a non-representative
government whose only sanction is
brutal force.

purpose. to-wit: First, the extension
of moral support to the. Polish gov
ernment and people; second, an ap-
peal to the masses in Russia to throw
off the Bolsheviki yoke and establish
constitutional government; third,
the influence of other nations to re-
frain from recognition of the Soviet
regime.
The Republican national committee
announces that Southern headquarters
will be opened in Washington with
Representative SIemp of Virginia in
charge.

suRRY COUNTY FHUlT CROP
Commercial Orchards have Grown to
Such Proportions as To Become
Most Productive Enterprises.

Mount. Airy.-The commercial orch
ards of Surry county, according to J.
B. Sparger of the Sparger Orchard
company, have grown to such proper
ton in the last few years as to become
one of the largest and most prOduc-
tive enterprises in western North Caro-
lima. There are now over 5000 acres
of fruitland under cultivation in the
vicinity of Mount Airy upon which
100000 peach trees and 100000 apple
trees are bearing fruit that has taken
all first prizes wherever exhibited in
county state and national fairs.
This years total crop of fruit is con-
servatively estimated at over half a
million bushels apples and $4,000 bush
els of peaches, mostly the alberta and
Georgia Belle varieties. The peach
crop is now being gathered and pheno-
menal prices are offered the orchardfst
for first quality fruit. The harvesting
of the apple crop will begin at the end
of this month and continues through
November, when the late fruit ripens.
There are, number of varieties of ap-
pies raised here, York, Imperials, Bon
UNI, Albemarle Ptppin, Blacktwig, Win
sap and Sparger however, are especial
~ adapted to local conditions and yield
the best fruit in point of quality and
size.

Norfolk, Va-Lack Of balance be-

tween American manufacturing capic'
ity and American transportation facil-
tiles, is resulting in the loss Of more
than 100000 each day at this one
port.
The total Of losses due to this un-

a whole amounts to staggering sum,
Here at Norfolk it is possible to size
up the local losses and thus to sense
a glimmering of what the national
loss is.
The situation here at Norfolk and
at Newport News, just across the

practically a common port for the

More than 800 vessels lie idle at
