Criticises Tampa Wholesalers.

great many people find it diff
cult to understand why the continu-
Gus reports of falling prices in the
general markets are not followed by
corresponding, reduction OF retail
prices. They recall, with some feel
ing, that when prices were going up
there was no such delay, but dealers
promptly marked up their prices at
the first intimation of a rise in the
market The trouble seems to lie
with the jobbers and, wholesalers
They have been largely oYerstocked
with many articles, especially in the
line of provisions. They do not want
to sell at loss, which they would
have to do if they followed the mar
ket. That accounts for the amazing
situation prevailing in Tampa and
other large cities. In Tampa, in par
ticular, there are four or five retail
groceries which are. independent of
the jobbers. They maintain one sale
price, while the two or three humid
red smaller concerns, dependent upon
local wholesalers for their goods, are
forced to maintain a very different
scale. AS a matter of fact, these re-
tailers have to pay the jobbers a
higher price for some of their goods
than the same articles are selling for
at retail at the large stores. Sugar,
for example, sold at retail few days
ago for fifteen cents, while the job
bers demanded sixteen cents at
wholesale. 1t is largely matter of
public conscience, ard it would b.
well worth while for the people to
study the markets closely, endeavor
to fix responsibility in the right
quarter, and gently but firmly insist
upon a square deal.-Lakeland Tele-

The Herald favors the proposed
change to the commission-mana
form of government because we be.
lieve that if adopted it will bring
about more economical, business
like and generally satisfactory admin
istratiOn of the towns affairs. 1t has
done this in nearly 200 other towns
and cities where given a fair trial
and there is no reason to believe it
would not do the same thing here.
However, we realize that there are
two sides to every question and that
there may be some who do not hold
the same view. If there are any
such, the Herald's columns are open
to them for the purpose of giving
their views. We will be glad to give
space to communications on this sub
ject, either for or against, provided
they do not exceed 800 words in
length.

The worst sample of Republican
tactics so far is the recent attack by
Republican leaders in the East on the
| League of Nations because it took
'coghfzallce of traffic in women and
children and traffic in opium and
other dangerous drugs" 1t would
seem that the most evil imagination
could not distort into legitimatizing
such evils the action of the League
of Nations, in order to obtain juris-
diction of such evils, expressly taking
them out of the claIj of agreements
which would be interpreted as domes-
tic matters and classifying them as
international matters over which the
League would have jurisdiction. It
develops that this clause in the Lea
que Covenant was successfully urged
upon the Peace Conference by those
social organizations which are fight
ing the white. slave traffic and the
drug evil. Yet it must be admitted
that this misinterpreparation of the
League, while more outrageous, is
just about as logical as many others
the Republicans have put out.

Western Sioux arrow-shafts were
made Of small straight june-berrv
bushes, or chokecherry bushes, when
the former were not at hand.
A choice straight bush was taken
whose lower, large end when made
square, or sometimes wider than it
was thick, was large enough to hold
the arrow-point inserted in a hori-
zontal split, made in this end, and
fastened firm by winding tight with
sinew thread, which shrunk tight as
it dried. If the arrow was to be
let loose from the shaft when shot,
as was desired Of boreing arrows az
well as Of barbed arrows, or when
it was desired to run to a fallen beast
or enemy and release the shaft while
letting the arrow remain, then it wa.
unnecessary to waste effort by max
ing the arrow permanently firm to
the shaft but just merely firm fol
the one shot only, for which glue,
which was firm until cracked by the
first impact and shock, was ample
if a few sinew threads helped.

Effort was made that the selected
bush-trunk's upper end, the shafts
length from the lower end, should
be Of the size fit for the bowstring
end Of the shaft, and the whole shaft
was worked down to the size Of the
bowstring end except half-fnger
length at the arrow-end, and in
working. down the size they were
careful to remove the same amount
all around and preserve the center
80 the shaft would not crook itself
in seasoning or by use.
It was thot better to patiently
straighten a slight natural crook
than to insure crooks to come, and
with constant weakness, BY arbitra-
rily cutting the arrow straight.
Yet this rule was delicately and
consciously varied by experts whom
u have noticed cautiously 80 remov-

which had been fattened on pasture.
1t was 12O x "a feet inside and allowed
a floor space Of nearly 7x7 feet per
steer. 1t seemed to accommodate them
comfortably, and was not too large to
be comfortable during weather that
reached 26 degrees below zero. "A band
of 81 yearling stocker steers, however,
suffered considerably from cold in the
shed later, as they were thin and had
more head space to warm up.
The feed hunks used were four feet
wide, 21s feet high and IL feet long.
The fender standard was 3h feet,
which set 1t foot above the sides Of
the feed bunk. The standards of the
bunk extended two inches below the
lowest of the three side rails Of the
hunks and served as legs.

SWEET CLOVER FOR HOGS

Sweet clover seems to be less well
adapted than alfalfa as pasture for
hogs. 1t seems to be less relished as
q feed. There is n tendency for the
stems to develop too much to serve as
hog feed and then, of course, there is
.he difficulty not experienced with al

eral years on the same piece Of land.
