THE SAM BROWNE BELT.

Interest in the officers training camps
ought to pick up now. General Pershing
has ordered the beautiSll and smart Sam
Browne belt restored. Commissioned of
ficers of the United States army may
wear it when appearing in service coats
or with the olive drab shirt when on
field of duty. For any who may so far
have recovered from the war as to have
forgotten the Sam Browne belt. let it
be explained that it is an article of
adornment in the form of leather belt,
which is fastened to the waist belt in
front and back, passing over one Shout
der
1t is worn with the British uniform
and is supposed to be one of the points
contributing to the great attractiveness
of that military costume, along with the
turn-down collar and extra fullness of
blouse. American commissioned officers
wore it in France and were wearing it
quite generally in the United States I'M
It'll Gen. Peyton c. March ordered its
discontinuance on this side of the At
lantic. The Sam Browne belt was much
admired by officers and their friends. 1t
was a bitter blow when its use was for
hidden. Inasmuch as it is an object of
genuine utility az we'll as smartness, its
return to the complete uniform is well
come.

Canal Completes with Rail.
{ Burlington Daily News.1


Statistics from the Panama Canal
show tremendous increases in freight
shipments through that waterway daring
the past year. For instance. in the first
quarter of 1920 there were .202, DO feet
of lumber from the states of the Pacific
Northwest sent by way of the Canal to
the Atlantic coast. I'm the first quarter
of 1927 shipments from the same sec
ton of the country totaled A., 495 so
feet, representing n gain at the rate of
1G5.0OO.OOO feet per year. Fresh fruits
from the Pacific coast now go by way
of the Canal instead of. as formerly. by
rail to New York and transshipment by
steamers. The Seattle Chamber of Com
merce says that the all-ocean rate on
apples across the Atlantic is about 40
per cent lower than the rail and water
rate through New York.
1t is evident the railroads are losing
a tremendous amount of business because
of their high freight rates. But those
rates have been necessary to pay the
swollen wages of the rail workers. The
rail employees ought to realize by this
time that their tactics have simply
spelled destruction for the source from
which their wages have come-they have
dove their utmost to kill the goose that
laid their golden eggs. The reductions
III ran wages that nave just taken eff
feet win help the situation, but if they
are not enough to get back the business
further cuts will have to be made.

Milk Dilemma.
burlington Free Press. }


The dilemma With most of us is how to
secure milk and obtain the money with
which to buy sufficient supply of it.
Our dairymen. on the other hand. are now
faced by two entirely different dilemmas
The first of these is hsw to keep the
dairy producing milk in the face of baking
pastures and growing lack of various
kinds of feed, and the other is how to
dispose of surplus milk at a profit in view
of the pronounced fall in prices.
The creamery men of Vermont consid-
cred some of these problems at their con-
ference in Burlington the other day. Still
another phase of the dairy problem is
quoted by the Malone Farmer from the
Canton Plain Dealer.
That philosopher calls attention to the
fact that members of the milk pool, whose
product is sold for fluid milk and in the
second and third manufacturing classes.
have to pay pretty heavily to help out the
less fortunate dairymen who are in the
fourth class. their milk going into the
manufacture of butter and cheese and
commanding the lowest price And that
paper wonders whether at the end of the
year for which they have signed contracts
the dairymen in these classes will stick

Kaiser Wilhelm in leadership of the Ger
man nation. SHINES is described as Wis
ioning the German capture of the mar
kets of the world, German ships in every
port, German banks in every business
center and Germans pioneering in every
field which promises new commercial pos
sibilities.
At the same time come reports of com
plete German disarmament. Germany
has more than made good the conditions
imposed on her by the allies, says a re-
cent Berlin despatch. The Bavarian

ment, by sea and land. is said to be
greater than the allied commission de
manded.
1t is easy to put these two sets of facts
together. Germany has turned from
dreams of military conquest to dreams of
commercial conquest. 1t is not impossi-
BILE that the war which Germany lost
in the feldeOf arms she may yet win in
the field of business competition. because
Germany has done what her competitors
have not yet been willing to dO-elimi-
nate the cost of competitive armament.
Germany is helped greatly, as every
one recognizes. by the ability of her
workmen to labor for small pay. But
that is only half the tale. Germany is
helped tremendously by her freedom from
the financial expense and the wasted
man-power of a big army and navy. I'm
burdened by armament, she feels strong
enough, after all her war losses, to pay
the huge indemnity and crowd her con-
querors out of the worlds markets, and
possibly rob them even of their own
home markets.

the farmers Cd other classes contributed
in the Nay settlement, cites the case of
Edwin Sykes, of that place, who delivers
his milk at the Sheffield manufacturing
plant at Canton and is a pooling member
of the third class. The statement of his
milk for that month sent by the Sheffields
to the pooling officials was $427.6S. He
received check for $500 10. a total of
$10J.56 being deducted This deduction
covered the following charges: S6.53 for
pool expenses SPLIT for certificate of in
debtedness; S77.26 for equalizing pool
prices. The psol expenses seem very
light. The S77.26 went to the farmers of
the fourth class. Had Mr. Sykes been
delivering his milk to be sold as fluid milk
he would have contributed much greater
sum to his less fortunate brethren i'm or
der that all producers in the league might
receive the same price. Taking his eXpe-
rience as an example the fluid milk pro
ducers must find their contribution to the
butter and cheese class of producers quite
appalling
Evidently there are many sides to the
milk problem and the question how much
we of the city shall pay quart for tactical
fluid for our tables is one of the least of
them.

POSTOFFTCE WELFARE.

The pOsrofice department, according to
recently announced plans of Postmaster
General Hays, is to have a welfare or
ganization similar to those in many of
the industries of the country. a welfare
organizer has been engaged who will do
his government work without salary.
Conferences have been held with heads of
such departments from some of the COM
Spanies whose work is being copied. Eight
associations of postal employees have aEO
been brought into conference to present
the postal workers needs and point of
view. Mr.. Hays has said:
We are going to have a welfare de-
partment for our 100000 employees just
as definite in its duties and certain in its
functioning as the fiscal department OF
any other department. Every large sue
cessful industry in the country has
adopted welfare measures. 1t has been
the trend of American business for the
last generation.
If we can improve the spirit and ac.
tual working conditions of the 30O.OOO
men and women who do, this Job, that
thing itself is an accomplishment, and il
is certain to bring consequent improve
Iment in the service.
There is no doubt that working condi-
lions for postal employees need imrrov-
ing. and any method which will bring
it about should be undertaken and car
ried through. 1t is true, however, that
some or the successful industries which
have had such real success with their
welfare work have included with it ade
quate pay for the work done. Modern
workers are less and less interested in
Ipaternalistic welfare activities. They
are more and more interested in a clean
