PRECEPT AND PRACTICE

TNHE city man doth plant some seeds,
L Sufficient for his summer needs,
He thinks.
He simply drops them in the ground,
Then gayly knocks ball around
The links.
He argues with an air profound
On how food products should abound;
Then sinks
A little fortune in the weeds,
Which bawl him out, as he proceeds,
A jinx.
-Phlander Johnson, in the Washington
Star.

Meet With Opposition
Fact Worthy Of Note

From the New York Herald.
1t may be that to punish victims Of hold
up robbers will have minimizing effect on
the daily toll of such crimes of violence.
Citizens, aware that If they are beaten up
and robbed they will be dismissed from their
employment, will learn to keep off the streets.
This necessarily will compel hold up men to
rob each other, which will not be without
results pleasant for the public to contem-
plate.

Mr.. Hughes recommends that local

trail selling agency. Such agencies
should hold membership in any grain
exchange to which it can find mar
keting outlet continues the report, and
the board of directors of the CENTRAL
organization should be empowered to
constitute itself a corporation to deal
in grain, to comply with rules of va

As an alternative plan. the report
suggests creation of a central asso-
citation to act independently of exist

ton with like sales agencies in other
states.
Similar organization for handling

other farm products is advocated.
