Too Much Duplication.
Herman Gasch of Bellevue Farms
declared there was too much duplica-
tion in the distribution of milk in
Washington. He said there are sixty
milk dealers, all Of whom serve milk
in the city.
THE milk sold in the District comes
from 1,500 FARMS" said Mr.. Gasch. 1T
is useless to talk of the farmers pro-
ducing milk for less money. 1t can't
be done. They are operating now
many of them-at a loss"
Mr.. GaSch said that a way to get
around the duplication of effort in
distributing milk would be to have
municipal milk distribution serv-
ice, operated under the jurisdiction
of the District This. he said. would
save from s1,500,00O to 100000 for
milk consumers every year.

Truck Farming Going TO Be
More important Than
Ever Before.

With the farmers in and around
the quantity of seed they obtained in
former years. and with farm labor so
scarce that many agriculturists
throughout the country are closing
up shop rather than operate at a
loss. the seriousness of the food stu
alton in the immediate future was
brought to the attention of more than
fifty members of the District Council
of Agriculture at a meeting held
yesterday afternoon in the home OF
William Phelps Emo. 1771 N street.
The meeting was presided over by
Albert Douglas. chairman of the
councils executive committee.
Men who have made a study OF the
food situation. including Edwin T.
Meredith. Secretary of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, informed the
assemblage that the utilization OF
every bit of available space in ana
around the District for home gardens
probably will prevent a serious food
shortage.
Should BE Proud of Council.
Secretary Meredith said the District
should be proud Of such an organlZa =
ton as the council. Truck farming

Growers are not buying as much seea
as they did in the past. This. he sara
can mean but one thing-that there
will be a curtailment of produce
grown. and consequent high prices. .

Agriculture. These agents VISIT Ine

est information about crop ana Stock

More than ! 900 women attached 10

In conclusion, Secretary Meredith
said:
'Tf there is any way the Depart
ment of Agriculture can co-operate
with your organization. just call OH
US and we will gladly do it.

Washington seed dealer.
'There will be approximately one

Davenport Democrat: Ex-service

defamers.
There is a class that Is always talk

in the Home Sector, one of the lead
ing service mems magazines. The
good old days OF 1910 for instance
when 7,69O,46S people in this, then
wonderful country, had accounts in
the national banks. And now, after
nine terrible years, 1920, 800 people
have accounts in national banks. Not
so bad in 1910, but not so worse now
Why shouldn't we feel better than we
do?
And there's another class which de-
clares that in this country the com
mon man hasn't chance. Mr.. Nc.
Mutt pays him particular attention.
"Do you know, for example," he
asks, that many of the reds brought
from the middle west for deportation

state of poverty that their departure
had to be delayed so that their income
taxes could be collected?

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

In reporting the operating results OF class
one railroads for the month of January, the IN
come from which was about sixty-four million
dollars, the federal director Of railroads states
that ffty-three million dollars of this repre-
sents an estimate of the back pay dine the rail
roads from the postal department made obhga-
tory by the decision of the interstate commerce
commission. Here is concrete fact which
serves as an example of Burleson methods OF
finance The public is victimized by daily ex-
amples Of the Burleson method OF administra-
ton and operation of our mail service.
But Mr. Burleson has himself chosen to stand
before the people as great economist III mail
administration; he has made much Of the say
ing secured under his supervision of the depart
ment Yet it seems that ffty-three million dol
lars Of the money collected from the people IN
taxes had to be turned over to the railroads to
satisfy just debt that was made through at
tempt by the postal department to secure serv-
ice at rates that meant absolute loss to railway
carriers There is no saving to the people by
Juggling funds or by building system OF ac-
counting that sets gains to one department and
equal losses to another. The more that Is

FASHIONS NIGHTMARE.

New York City's Fifth avenue is getting its
first peep at what the famous French designer
OF women s gowns saw in his ten-day nightmare
Induced by the sleeping sickness. 1t certainly
was a horrible experience this gentle soul pass
ed through. 1t may be remembered that this
gentleman, whose last thought was Of free pub
Iicity, dropped in for a seance with the sleeping
sickness, but fortunately was able to revive him
self in time for a waiting pre-Easter world.
"AIthough / could not move" says NJ. Paul
poiret, for it was indeed he, Il was conscious
OF what was going on | saw visions Of clothes,
houses and automobiles, each one stranger than
tile other'' He realized the beauty, he says, Of
women dressed in skin. Skin seems to be the
predominant material used, as any observer
with half an eye will truthfully state; it is very
difficult to find the clothes. Continuing, M.
Poiret declares he saw houses built like hang
ing gardens ''Altogether' concludes this
sleeper, sleeping sickness is wonderful stimu-
liant TO the mind Of man. The miserable blacks
of the African river countries would be glad to
learn what the bite Of the tse-tsc fly is really
for
1t is of course clear to the average man and
the sensible woman that some defense had to
be made for the coming styles They could
hardly be laid at the door of the normal mind Of
man. SO the pleasant and easy ten-day sickness

NOT NEw-woMEN IN POLITICS

Baltimore American: Is woman
only just now getting into politics in
these United States? According to
Uncle Joe Cannon, who has been a
close observer of political stress and
storm and an acute interpreter Of
political cause and effect for more
than seventy years, the women were
in politics sixty years ago, and just
as "het up as the men, though back
in the days of bleeding Kansas"
"squatter sovereignty" and the now
historic Lincoln-DougIas debates, the
women were not bothering to any
large extent about the votes-for-
women idea.
In an article contributed to num-
Der OF the Pictorial Review. Uncle
joe tells about the hot campaign in
Illinois back in 1s5S-that was two
years previous to the 1860 presiden-
four presidential candidates in the
! running-Lincoln, Douglas, Breckin-
ridge and Bell. The 1865 campaign
was distinguished by the arranged
series Of debates between Lincoln
and Douglas, and the women not
only crowded to the political meet
lngS Out were COiiSpINdOuo III tiiS
parades and professions, which. in
many instances, marched from one
town to another along the country
roads, He describes one such dem
onstration in which women partici-
pated, and in which Douglas pro-
cession moved along one side the
road and Lincoln procession along
the other side-the two parades par.
alleling along the whole way.
And back in 1880 Uncle Joe says
that the women felt" in politics just
like the men did. There was rarely
divided family-the woman pulling
one way, the man the other. upon
any hot issue Of that time. The de-
/ duction to be drawn is that now, that
women have the vote in Illinois and
other states, there viii be practically
| no variation in electoral ratios upon
any really important question Uncle
Joe plainly does not believe that
politics will ever cleave along the
sex line.

To the Editor OF The Gate City:
Concerning the large bell which
was stolen at Alexandria and taken
to Keokuk and sold, / wish to inform
The Gate City that the bell in no
way is a school house bell, although
it has been used temporarily TO call
the pupils Of the Alexandria district
during this term.
The bell which has gained so much
public notice is the original church
bell Of the large Protestant Method
list church, which is located on Pearl
street in Alexandria. The temple OF
worship is a brick edifice, erected in
1854 by the Protestant Methodist de-
nomination, and was used and owned
by them for many years. The writer
from boyhood to later years has at
tended worship in the dear old pio-
neer outpost of christianity and lis
tened 10 the gospel as proclaimed by.
such preachers as John Sexsmith,
James Penn and other heroes of the
real rugged and spiritual advocates
Of gospel salvation.
During the ice gorge and flood of
March, 1885, the, streets of Alexan-
dria were turned into avenues of
swift and deep and very destructive
currents, and the converging forces
washed away the northeast corner of
the church foundation, causing a fall
ing of large portions of the wall. The
building was restored and sold to
David Hand, who donated it's use to
the Holiness people. The ownership
then changed to the Methodist people
and the building was somewhat

pears the same as in former times.
