in an automobile, but Constable
Adams and his deputies intercepted

HoU to Make the Most

Home grown peaches are now
plentiful at a low price, sugar is
cheap, and housewives are putting up
peach jam as never before. Best Of
all. the new Certo Process has revo-

because. unlike the old method. il
uses ripe peaches and actually pre-
serves real peach flavor. The taste
OF peach Jam made with Certo is alb
solutoiy different from any peach
jam made by the old method, because
its flavor is practically the same as
fresh peaches
With the Certo Process full-ripe
peaches are used-not unripe peaches
so necessary by the old method. The
Certo Process retains all the rich
flavor Of this ripe fruit because il
requires only one minutes boiling
not the 80 or more minutes required
by the old method. which destroyed
the flavor and made 1t difficult TO
distinguish as peach. With Certo
the result is a far superior fruity
favor and two-thirds more jam from
the same amount OF fruit, because
no juice is boiled away. 1t also ban
ishes all guesswork or worry as per-

The Certo Process for making
peach jam Is very simple. Crush

WASHINGTON. Aug 30-Repre-
sentative Carl ID. Riddick, of Mon
tana, a member OF the House Com
mittee on Agriculture. and the sole
''real dirt farmer" in Congress, has
made a defense OF the record of ac-
complishment of the present Repub-
lican Congress- in which he gives
facts and figures to show that II has
surpassed all previous sessions. He
says:
let us apply the acid test OF the
record of things asked for and things
done. President Harding. in his
message to Congress at the opening
Of the special session, asked that
certain laws be enacted. How has
Congress responded?
HE asked the passage of a peace
resolution. 1t is done.
HE asked an emergency tariff to
help the farmers 1t is done.
HE asked the enactment of a
budget law. It is done
HE asked the passage OF Army
and Navy Appropriation bills. 1t is
done.
HE asked the inauguration Of
rigid economy in public administra-
ton. 1t has been done in every de-
partment
He asked the coordination Of the
federal agencies for relief Of ex-ser-
vice men. II is provided for in the
Sweet bill.
"He asked the enactment of a per-
manent protective tariff law. The
Ways and Means Committee. after
weeks of hard work. completed the
drafting Of the tariff bill. night ses-
sions of the House were held to ex-
pedite its passage. and it is now in
the hands of the Senate.
'The President asked the revision
of the federal tax laws. Commit
tees having this in charge worked
day and night. Sundays and holi-
days, to formulate such a revision.
1t has been passed by the House
within four months after the special
session convened
This is a 90-day record OF con-
structive legislation which has not
been equaled by any peace-time
Congress in United States history.
81 promised our farmers that
President Harding would show a
special interest iu aiofng agricul-
tural interests. He has done this.
Farming interests have been up
permost in the minds. both of Con-
gress and the whole Administration.
In addition to the emergency tariff
to relieve agricultural producers.
Congress has enacted a law increas-
ing the amount OF funds available
for farm loans by the Federal Farm
Loan Bank. This act has already
made $4,000 900 available for farm
loans. and this sum will be increas-
ed. The bill TO increase the rate OF
interest paid investors in farm loan
bank bonds has passed the Senate
and will pass the House in a Few
days This will enable these bonds
to compete in the market with COM
mercial and industrial bonds, and
thereby further increase the funds
Of the Farm Loan Banks.
In order to expedite the financing
Of stock raising interests, the Hard

The Matter With Railroads
CFrom the Providence JournaD.

The United States Railroad Labor
Board makes the important an
nouncement that it is about to pub
lish rules as a substitute for the
so-called national agreements es-
tablished during the period OF Gov
ernment management. They will
apply TO all roads the managers and
eployes of which have not got to-
gether" since the Government re-
linquished control.
IL will be a great relief to the
railroads to be released from this
arbitrary code of working rules.
They are a tremendous handicap to
efficient operation. They are part
Of the answer to the question a be-
wildered public is asking: What Is
the matter with the railroads, now
that they have been freed by the
Government
The managers OF the roads are not
free, of course. The return of the
properties to their owners has meant
chiefly that they are no longer un-
der the orders Of a Federal Direc-
tor-General--that is something to be
thankful for, to be sure. Not to
mention the long existing fact that
their only source of income is under
the control of six Government Of
ficials. a majority OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission, their expen-
ditures are now largely subject to the
newly created labor board.
The tendency Of the one has un-
I'll recently been TO reduce income
to a minimum. The other has not
yet displayed marked favor for re-
flating the war payroll; the approx
ed wage readjustments have been
distressingly moderate.
The labor board may be neces-
sary institution for functioning dur
ing this transition period. The fact
remains that IL is one more manacle

tives and managers. Public opin-

Not without word of generous

defiance OF a lobby apparently org
anized and operating on the too ef-
fcctive threat that those who do not
yield to it will be deprived OF their
political skins. she has put her foot
squarely on a measure that is vicious
in principle. and would be worse

woefully short. but which the coun-

Congress with women like Miss

The measure she refuses to sup

called better baby bill. though It is
not a bill for better babies at all.
II is a measure proposing to put the
