CONGRESS- TO COME INTO ITS
OWN

Washington, Dec. 17-"Mr. Hard
ing's speech to the United States Sem
ate on December 9th was an assur-
ance to Congress and to the people
that the election to the Presidency of
+ one who had served in the National
/ Legislature was a wise proceeding -
declares the Republican Publicity AS
sociation, through its president, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr. "The keynote
of the President-designate's short ad-
dress is to be found in his declara-
ton:
when my responsibilities begin
in the executive capacity l shall be
as mindful of the Senate's respon-
sibilities as ! have been jealous of
them as a member, but l mean at
the same time to be just as insis-
tent about the responsibilities of
the executive. Our governmental
good fortune does not lie in any
surrender at either end of the ave-
nue.. but in the coordination and CO.
operation which becomes the two in
a great and truly representative pop
ular government
mo intimation of a Senate oligar-
chy' is to be found in such a clear-cut
statement, while, on the other hand
the address breathes the determination
to do away with the dictatorship un-
der which this country for eight years
has been laboring. i like the freedom.
the association, the patriotic sense of
responsibility which abides here as
serted the speaker. / am conscious
of the great place which Congress
holds under our Constitution, and par
ticularly sensible TO the obligations
of the Senate and he followed this
with the expression of the wish of a
colleague for the confidence and CO.
operation of the members OF this body
in the four years which begin next
March 4th.'
Something of similar attitude of
mind was indicated by the Democratic
party when in its platform of 1912, on
which the present chief executive was
elected, it was declared;
"'We believe in the preservation
and maintenance in their full
strength and integrity of the three
coordinate branches of the Feder-
al Government-the executive, the
legislative. and the judicial-each
keeping within its own bounds and
not encroaching upon the just pow
ers of either of the Others
But within very short time after
his Inauguration, Mr.. Wilson had re-
duced the Democratic Congress to
such pitiful subservience that it has
been rightly named rubber stamp |

might say of him in the cloakrooms. /
they jumped at the crack of his lash. (
The consequences of his despotism /
were visited on the nation. Ours be- Z
came a one-man government. There /
was little Congressional cooperation /
with the executive, but much sullen (

1921 TOMATO FAMINE
] DESCRIBED BY PACKER
CREDITS ARE RESTRICTED AND HEAVY
4 LOSSES INCURRED ALL ROUND, HE
SAYS GROWERS HIT HARD.

Tomato growers and Gamers de
care the country faces tomato fam
: - next year unless conditions speed
I'D are adjusted.
Losses to both growers and can
34rs, owing to the business slump
X&ve been particularly heavy in the
3omato raising districts of Maryland
and Delaware, where more than 6
j third of the nations annual crop is
produced, according to H. B. Messen-
ger, a packer of fredericksburg, Md.
More than half of the 1920 tomato
5 crop in Maryland and Delaware rotted
on the ground" said Mr.. Messenger
81 Many of the uncontracted-for toma-
@toes, which did leave the fields. were
%bought by the Gamers at shamefully
klow prices. Those Gamers pressed the
/ foods on an unwilling market. Canned
I Tomatoes dropped even lower than raw
Hstock. They stand today at a price
#fully is per cent too low even if the
# grower had hauled them to the can
@ner and made him a present of them.
& AS a result neither the packer nor the
8 grower will take risks in 1921 unless
s guaranteed at least the cost of what
5.tney produce.
Regardless of the statements by
financial men that there are ample
credits to be had for all necessary
business. and the intimation that good
paper can be discounted as freely as
is consistent with good business poll
cy, the fact remains that it is impos-
sible in many cases to secure loans
on warehouse receipts, issued by pub
lie warehouses in the great cities of
the east, on standard 1920 tomatoes
at IL per cent interest or even more.
"Those tomatoes in the warehouses
are good standard fruit, packed under
the most exacting inspection laws ev-
er known in the history of the bus
mess. They are vitality needed by the
country.
"All the reduced cost of packing to-
matoes in 1920 over 1919 was absorb
ed by the grower and packer. All the
material used was more expensive this
year than last with the exception of
the cans, which fell slightly in price.
The coal operators, steel men, lumber
and planning mill men, paper makers,
printers and the railroads have alb
sorbed none of the decline in tomato
prices.
There has been an icrease of 40
per cent in freight rates, and it is
hard to foresee much reduction in the
cost of Gamers supplies in 1921, as
transportation is the biggest factor.
Labor organizations made demands
and got them, pressing their claims,
regardless of the loss they may cause
others.
THE farmer is being driven to the
same methods. Can it be doubted but
that when once he has perfected his
organization he can and may cut down
the food supply sufficiently to work ac-
tual suffering on the consumers?
Much adverse criticism is being
because of the farmers at /
tempt to secure some action in con-
gress to steady conditions and to OBJ I
viate the necessity of throwing farm
products on the market at tragically 4
low prices, with resultant losses to /
country banks and food producing in
terests which may make disastrous 1
and far-reaching effect on food pro-
duction."

SERVING HOT LUNCHES In
SMALL COUNTRY SCHOOLS


While the carrying of lunches is by
far the most common practice, taking
country and town together. there are
few cases in which it is not desirable
for the school to share with the home
the responsibility for the MONDAY
meal In some places the task for the
school may be hardly more than that
of providing clean and safe places for
lunch baskets, where the food will
not be likely to become dirty or spoil
ed. In others it may be practicable to
provide by one means or another a
hot dish with which to supplement
foods brought from home. In still
others, particularly where large at
tendance and many teachers and other
workers make subdivision of labor a
comparatively easy matter, it may be
possible for the school to establish and
maintain lunch rooms.
1t is in the small country school
with only one teacher that the mid
day meal presents the most difficult
problems. The common custom is still
for the pupils to bring their lunches,
but there is a growing tendency to
try the experiment of nrena s.isss ga i-s
of the meal at school, and of allow
ing time for serving it carefully. If
rightly handled, the meal, even under
the unusual difficulties presented in
the rural school, may offer the most
favorable of all opportunities to incul-
cate habits of cleanliness and 10 teach
sanitation and simple cookery. The
situation. however. requires teacher
of ingenuity and of enthusiasm for
her work.
The simplest of equipments includes
a large kettle suitable to be used ON
the stove that heats the schoolhouse, /
cup and spoons, pairing /
knife, mixing spoon, dish pans, and 4
towels. 1t will usually be possible for I
the bovs TO make 3 set CT shelves for
the dishes, using box lumber If no
other is available, and for the girls
to make curtains or other coverings
for protecting the dishes from dust.
The pupils WILL as a rule, be found
willing to bring plates, cups, bowls,
and spoons from home, if this is nee
sssary in order to keep down expen-
;es. A fireless cooker is convenient
or meat stews, meat and bean soups,
cereal mushes, and many other dishes
hat require long cooking.
The recipes for the dishes cooked
or lunch may be given to the older
iris in school, discussed in class, and
ried at home. The special dish for
he day, which in winter is usually
Iot and in summer cold, can be pre-
ared and served at noon by the girls
n turn, working in groups, suggest

arefully cleaned before meals, and

The Grange is still aligned just as
firmly as ever on the side of right. 1t
believes that the riddance of liquor
helped greatly to sustain this coun-
try in the difficult period of after
war adjustment. Congress must
know that the farmers oppose
the restoration of liquor.
You who believe in a clean America
can help insure it in no better way
than by joining the Grange. 1t is
mighty power for progress; as such
it merits your support.

ater last night. That the happy.
smiling Irish artist has-lost none of
his popularity was amply demonstrat-
ed when he was applauded into ap-
pearing between the acts and singing
upon request some of his oldest songs.
Ma cushla' is not a new produc-
tion, but Mr.. Olcott has blended into
the story four new songs prepared by
J. Kern Brennan and Ernest r. Ball.
which have that catchy air charac-
teristic of Olcott's songs and were en-
Enthusiastically received. They are:
That's How the River Shannon
Flows" 'Macushla Ashore III
Miss You Old Ireland. God Bless You.
Goodbye" and IT'S an Irish Girl l
Love and She's Just Like You"
In the play, Chauncey. as Sir Brian
Fitzgerald, pays off the debt on the
estate which has fallen into his hands
by stalking all he has on his race
horse, "Macushla.' Efforts of an Eng
lish horseman to disable Macushla be-
fore the big race furnish the melo-
dramatic suspense.
The story is simple. but replete with
human interest and wholesome humor.
The cast is capable one. Allyn
Gillyn as Pat" a romping colleen,
plays her part excellently. Others
whose worl. is noticeable are Josie
Claf1in. as Mrs. Boyer. and Joe Ken
nedy. as Sandy M'Nabb. Scotchman.
