Preparedness

A certain clergyman always felt it
his duty to give each couple little
serious advice before he performed
the marriage ceremony. He usually
took them aside one at a time and
talked very soberly to each regarding
the great Importance of the step they
were about to take and the new re-
sponsibilities they were to assume.
One day he talked in his most earnest
manner for several minutes to a
young woman who had come to be
married. "And now," he said, in
closing, "I hope you fully realize the
extreme Importance of the step you
are taking, and that you are prepared
fo~ it."
"Prepared" replied the bride in
nocently. "Well, if I amt prepared

Proposed Federal Cor
poration to Aid Farmers
Not Strongly Supported
at Washington

Senator Norris of Nebraska with
the backing of large agricultural in
terests has bill in Congress for the
creation of a federal corporation to
handle surplus farm products for ex-
port. The bill calls for an appropria-
tion of $1O0,000,000 and authorizes a
bond issue of 81 100000 at special
rates of interest. Support for the bill
argues that the farmers are in such
desperate straights that government
aid is necessary, and can best be
given under the terms of the bill
Herbert Hoover opposes the bill on
the ground that it is unwise for the
government to go into private busi-
ness and to undertake to handle sur
plus products of any group or class.
He points out that if the government
forms a corporation to aid farmers, it
could with equal force be urged to aid
miners and various other groups in
the same way. Financing of exports
for farmers is admitted as necessary,
but according to Mr.. Hoover it is to a
large extent private and not public
business.
President Harding and others at
Washington are opposed to the bill on
the same basis that caused their
recommendation that the bonus bill be
sent back to committee and its pass
age indefinitely postponed, that is
that the financial condition of the
country does not warrant these tire
mendous expenditures.
In the Senate discussion last week
senator's who spoke against th'
measure denounced it as class legisla
ton.

SHEPPARD-TOWNER
BILL PASSES THE
SENATE; DELAWARE
WOMEN INTERESTED
Measure for the Protection of
Mothers and Babies Now
Goes to the House
for Concurrence

By vote of 63 to 7, the United
States Senate passed the Sheppard
Towner Bill on July %. This measure
provides for an appropriation by
Congress of S1,4S0,O00 to be expended
under the direction Of the National
Children's Bureau of the Department
of Labor, to assist the states in re-
ducing the death rate of children and
of mothers in childbirth. Appropria-
tions from the Federal government
must be met by similar appropriations
from the states receiving aid.
The measure was designed to meet
the demands of the women of the
country that something effective be
undertaken to prevent the tremend-
Gus wastage of life which has gone on
needlessly and almost unnoticed for
years. The issue was so well pre-
sented preceding the presidential
election campaign that both parties
gave pledges to the women that ac-
ton would be taken. The vote in the
