Facts Concerning
Dairy Questions
Milking Time Effects Country,
Community and Individual
All Alike
(By Hugh G. Van Pelt)

1t is OF record that once upon
a time an Irishman stole a watch
and a Dutchman stole a COW
Both were caught and lodged in
Jail in adjoining cells. Time
passed slowly and became tire
some under the conditions.
To break the monotony and to

man said, Pat, vat time is it?''
and, characteristic Of his nation
ality, Patreplied, 1T is tonne tc

1t is a legend that there came
a time in the history of Denmark
when, as nation, poverty aud
seemingly insurmountable in
debtedness stared her in the
face when the one great proc
lem was that of restoring
national 'solvency.
Then it was that Denmark de-
cided it was time to milk, and
from that day to this Denmark
has advanced in prosperity uaril
she ranks among the richest
countries per capita and as the
most noted producer of dairy
products.
Such is the significance Of
Pats rcn'v, 1T is tonne to
milk, applied to nations.
1t is no secret that in the
early days Of Wisconsin, wheat
was grown continuously year
after year until wheat would no
longer grow proftably, por
would any other farm crop.
The question of what to.do
arose and the reply was, 1T is
time to milt.'1
Recently, in an address to
bankers, the Head of the Fe1er-
al Reserve Bank of the North
west made the statement that in
Wisconsin there was not one OF
the $50 banks delinquent, and
that they had sent more than
$50, 900, 900 into the Chicago dis
trict during the past year; this
during a year when states that
are practicing other forms of
agriculture almost to the exclu-
sion of dairying are c!amoring
for credit.
Such is the significance of
Pats reply, 1T is tonne to
milk" " applied to states.
A community in North Dakota
is this year experiencing its
sixth consecutive crop failure.
One crop failure, especially if it
came this year, would suffice to
discourage most sections, but
not the stout hearted men of
this community because:
In the early days of crop fail
ures when the inevitable ques-
tion of what to do was pro-
pounded someone said, 1T is
time to milk, and last year the
average ros, income from II
farms in the crop failure district
was 50, 325..83.
Strange as it may seem, these
men, under the worst Of farming
conditions, are enjoying greater
prosperity than their fellow
farmers in sections Of the state
that have bumper farm crops.
Such il the significance of
Pats reply. "It's time to milk, "
as it applies to communities.

STREET RAILWAY PLANS
FOR THE EAST SIDE
Rising Sun Cars to be Operated
Over Lombard Street
Route.

That it is not the intention of the
Traction CO. TO discontinue permanent
~ its trolley SERVICE on the east side,
the announcement a week
ago by the company that the Spruce
street line would be discontinued, was
learned today from Thomas w. VIII
son. vice-president and general man
ager Of the company.
For many years trolley transporta-
ton was provided for residents liv-
ing in the eastern section OF the city
on. both the Lombard and Spruce street
lines, operating from Thirteenth and
Lombard streets and Eleventh and
Spruce to the =. & O. railroad, on
two distinct routes. When the paving
of King street was started early this
year. tho tracks Of the Lombard
street line passing through King
street were dispensed with and the
service discontinued.
Last week it was announced by the
Traction Co. that the Spruce street
service would likewise be discontinued
II was pointed out by many that this
particular line Is one of the oldest in
the city. Until July Z, when the
change was announced, a 15-minute
schedule was maintained. Today Mr.
Wilson stated that after repairs &c
King street are completed. the Rising
Sun cars win be operated over the
Lombard street route 70 take care OF
patrons who live in a section of the
city not reached by other trolley
routes. The Spruce street line, how
ever, il was stated. will be discontinued
indefinitely.

TARIFF BILL DOOMED
FOR PRESENT SESSION
Harding's Ship Subsidy Mea-
sure Also Likely to Fail; Both
Strongly Opposed.
Baltimore sun.

Baltimore sun.
Washington, July 1.-THE Admins
trations legislative program received
two jolts at the Capitol today and there
arose the possibility that neither the
Tariff bill nor the ship subsidy meaure
will De passed at this session.
Still another Republican Senator
came out against his party's tariff
measure and a secret poll on the Re-
publican side showed an overwhelming
opposition to taking up ship subsidy
legislation at tins time.
Senator Walter E. Edge, Of New
Jersey, was tOday's insurgent on the
tariff measure. He virtually announced
his decision TO vote against the bill,
for the changes suggested by Senator
Edge are without precedent and have
little chance of adoption.
The detection Of the New Jersey Re-
publican was but another indication Of
the Increasingly chaotic condition on
the majority side and disorganization
Of the party control on the tariff issue
Last week Senator Lenroot, Wisconsin,
said he could not swallow the high rates
Of the pending Tariff bill Preceding
him, Senators Borah, Norris and L
Toilette had announced their opposition
Shows Drift Against Bill.
The insurgency Of Senator Edge. re-
garded as a stand-pat Republican from
an industrial State, is indicative of
the gradual drift OF sentiment against
the bill Hammered by both the Re
publican and Democratic press and at
tackled from within and without the
party, the Tariff bill may be withdrawn
from consideration if there Is further
loss of strength.
While there is nothing concrete upon
which to base prophecy that the Tariff
bill eventually will be Sidetracked. the
signs begin TO point that way Rum0rs
are current about Capitol Hill that such
a move is coming. Democratic oppo-
uents of the bill have expected It and
were iubilant today. Senator McCum-
Der, in charge Of the bin and recently
defeated in his own primaries in North
Dakota, has the appearance Of one who
cannot stand the strain much longer
1t was suggested in Democratic quar-
/ tiers today that the Republicans will
withdraw the bill without actually an
nouncing it. There are two or more
ways in which this might be done indi
rectly, saving the party face as much
as possible. One way would be to la,
the bill aside temporarily on the pretex
that morel information is to be sough
from the Tariff Commission or else
where. Another move possible is tn
temporary substitution Of some othe
measure for consideration. Still a thirC
way out is the adjournment OF Con
gress, leaving the Tariff bill in con
ference committee, even if the Senat
passes II.

GERMAN DEBT CRISIS
MET BY COMPROMISE
Berlin Will Pay Part of $12.-
100000 Due Saturday; Rest
in Dye Stuffs.

Paris, July l2.-The crisis arising
out OF Germany inability to pay the
5000, 900 gold marks l2,000,000)
reparation installment due Saturday has
been met by a compromise. An agree
ment was reached last evening by the
Reparation Commission and the German
financial representatives.
Germany will pay 32,0O0,0O0 marks
in cash and will make up the balance
through deliveries of dyes to the textile
alliance and of coal to Luxembourg.
DR.. Fischer, chairman of the German
War Debt Commission, informed the
reparation body that he will present a
formal request for a moratorium at once.
1t is thought quite probable that the
Reparation Commission, without COM
municating with the Allied governments,
will grant a moratorium on Germany 5
cash payments for the remainder of this
year.
Roland W Boyden, the United States
representative with the commission,
took part in the conference.
The letter asking for the moratorium
which DR. Fischer and Herr Schroeder
Undersecretary for Finance who is with
the War Debt Commissioner in Paris
were drafting yesterday, is expected to
suggest the cancellation OF all the remain
ing payments this year, leaving the mat
ter of a moratorium thereafter open fol
the time being. Under this arrangement
the question of the further moratorium
would be decided later, upon fuller con
sideration and in view of what may
happen in Germany in the next few
weeks
1t is understood that the majority OF
the commission sees no other way out O
the present crisis and is therefore pre-
pared to vote a temporary moratorium
particularly. because there is genera
realization that no loan to Germany i
Immediately possible and that relief 70
