to carry the Hirsh-Block case, upon

of the act and has appeared several

Mr.. Classic holds as unfortunate the
fact that the Ball act should have
been declared totally void solely on
a possession issue, which the Hirsch-

.P[ANSlAW TO
AID FARMERS
Cooperative Marketing will Be
Given Careful Considera-
tion.by Congress.
BY JOHN SNURE.

How to work out a feasible and
practical plsn for the cooperative
marketing Of agricultural products
is something over which memoirs OF
Congress are racking their brains as
they have seldom racked them be-
fore.
PROBLEM OF FARMERS.
This is one OF the biggest cues
tions before the farmers OF America
and they are bringing strong pressure
on Congress for action. They would
like to get a bill passed this winter
and In any event they will insist there
be no delay once the new administra-
ton enters office.
Inasmuch as the marketing OF food
stuffs IL involved. the consumers OF
Washington and every locality and
especially in the larger centers OF
population where the cost Of living
has been severely felt, are directly
The farmers OF the country have
been In part driven into the move
ment by the sudden drop in prices OF
Agricultural products. However, II IL
a fact the movement was begun much
before the drop In prices. 1t shows
every symptom of becoming and OF
remaining permanent movement
and not merely a temporary fare-up
INFORMAL CONFERENCES.
In the last week. there have been
"a number of informal conferences OF
Senators and House members on the
problems that confront the farmer
and the conditions o. which he is
complaining. There will be many
more of these conferences before the
winter is over And when the session
opens. there will be diversity OF
bills introduced. calculated to author
izc farmers and all agricultural pro-
ducers to organize cooperative
agencies for the purpose OF market
ing their products.
CUMMINs HAS BILL.
Bills along other lines, such at
tariff bills and bills To extend farm
credits will be presented, but these
questions do not present the diff
culties that cooperative marketing
does. While cooperating in market
ing. the farmers also want to be
able to cooperate in purchasing sup
plies and materials.

a number OF members of both houses
about the proposition. He has also
taken it up with the heads Of differ

to prepare plan. of his own.

University Classes
Suspended; Storm
Rage. Over Campus

Because OF the storm, which was
at it's height on the university cam
pus, university classes were sus-
pended for the day at $3.50 o'clock
this morning. Street car service to
the university was tied up early in
the morning. but by 10 o'clock the
cars were running fairly regularly.
The sweep Of the wind across the
prairie onto the campus where it
howled around the buildings made
walking for any distance hazardous.
Students, brave enough to face the
storm had to literally fight their way
from building to building, stopping
every several hundred feet for breath
and to wipe away the icy particles
which covered their faces after five
minutes exposure in the sleet-like
wind.
Groups of students huddled at
points along the car track waiting
for street cars, were sights common
about 10 o'clock. Waiting O the
car tracks was practically impera-
tive as it was almost impossible to
see more than twenty feet ahead
when walking, so binding was the
wind and snow,

Only two bids on the construction

WOMEN BARRED.

Rome. Feb. 2s.-(Man.)--Itslian
women have been barred from SO po-
sitions mostly In state employ by an
official announcement just issued by
the government. This order excludes
women from appointment to the dip
lomatic and consular service and from
becoming members Of the council Of
state or of several courts.
No reason is given for the declara-
ton of this ban but Italian observers
point out that evidently the. authori-
ties believe it none too soon to raise
a barrier against the possible, aspir-
atoms Of Italian women for public
office.
Professor Teresa Labriola, daughter
of the distinguished professor Of So
GEOLOGY, has lately obtained the right
to practice law before the courts and,
after a struggle of more than seven
years. DR.. Adelina Pertici has obtained
permission to perform the functions
Of a notary. Those Innovations have
alarmed Italians who hold conserva-
tive views on the appearance of
women in public life and to this is at
tributed in part the g bar against
women set up by the government.
