troll act, which the Supreme court
recently held constitutional. The pack
ers are regulated through the COM
merce clause of the constitution, and
not through a taxing feature. The
portion of the decision dealing with
this phase is regarded as a direct sug-
gestion to congress as to how to pro-
coed. The Supreme court says:
"There is not word In the act
from which it can be gathered that it
Is confined to interstate commerce.
The words interstate commerce are
not to be found in any part of the
act from the title to the closing sec
t!on. The transactions upon which the
tax is to be imposed, the bill AYERS,
are sales made between members of
the board of trade In the city of Chi
cago in the future delivery of grain
which will be settled by the process
of offsetting purchases or by a de-
livery of warehouse receipts of grain
stored In Chicago. Looked at in this
aspect and without any limitation of
the application of the tax to inter-
state commerce or to that which the
congress may deem from evidence be
fore 1t to be an obstruction TO inter-
state commerce, we do not find 1t pos
sible to sustain the validity of the
regulations as they are set forth in
this act. A reading of the act makes
1t quite clear that congress sought
to use the taxing power to give valid.
ity to the act. 1t did not have the eS-
ercise of its power under the com,
merce clause in mind and so did not
introduce into the act the limitations
which certainly would accompany and
mark an exercise of the power under
the latter clause"
Not Interstate Commerce.
I The court holds that future deliv.
cry sales on the board of trade "are
not in and of themselves interstate
commerce" There is the following
qualification, however: 'aThey can
not come within the regulatory power
of congress as such unless they are
regarded by congress from the evi
dence before 1t as directly interior
ing with interstate commerce so as
to be an obstruction or burden
thereon"

Wool Growers Happy.

The 1O,012 farmers in Michigan who
marketed their wool comparatively on
a graded basis last year have in their
pockets just $4,000 more than they
would ha had under the old method.
The Michigan pool sold 2,S5S,000
pounds of wool at an average price Of
23.949 cents for all grades, which net
ted the grower 1894 cents after the
marketing cost of 4.0O9 had been de-
Quoted.
The average local price throughout
the state at, shearlng time last year
and until December, 1921, was 1925

of crop estimates at Lansing which

mites In West Virginia, Helvetia. Ran
dolph county, Just made the highest
score and has taken the lead from
French Greek, ,Upshur county. as the
best rural community in the state.
West Virginia, by cooperation of her
farm bureaus, agricultural extension
division and other state agencies. has
been measuring her rural communities
for the past four years with the idea
of stimulating them to better things
by comparison with neighboring COM
munities, and ty pointing out what
were the outstanding weaknesses.
In 1921, fifty communities were care
fully judged as strength and weak
nesses and French Creek held first
place, which she had won the previous
year. She was closely followed by
West Liberty, Ohio county, and Au-
rora, Preston county. This year the
score card of series of tests by means
of which the standards of a country
community are determined was so re-
vised that all the scores of last year
were arbitrarily cut 80 points out of
possible 1000. .E'E
The various communities are re-
scored year after year in order to de-
termine how progress Is being made,
so most of those tested out last year
have been scheduled for scoring again
this year with the new score card. A
! few more than a dozen of the half
hundred have already been scored
and among this number was Helvetia
Helvetia scored 76S points, which
placed her 9 points above French
Creek on the corrected scoring system
Franklin is another community
which has been tested this year by the
new score card, and which made q
score of T5O. Considering the com
munities scored last year, the ten
state leaders of the country communi'
ties are now as follows:
Helvetia, Randolph county, T6S
French Greek, Upshur county, 759
West Liberty, Ohio county, 767: Au'

NEW REGULATORY ACT
PLAN OF FARM BLOC
Decision Of Supreme Court
Leads Senator capper to Out
line Action to Be Taken.

Commenting on the decision of the
United States Supreme court holding
the most important provisions of the
grain exchange regulation law invalid,
Senator Arthur Capper, head of the
farm bloc, said to representative of
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton:
This action by the Supreme court
takes the real heart out of the bill.
We are going to work Immediately
on a new law. Possibly 1t will be
drafted along the lines Of the packer
control act, which recently was de-
clared constitutional. Back of all of
this agitation, 1t seems to me, Is the
fight to keep co-operatives of the
board Of trade. We shall see that
they are put on the board Of trade
when the new law is enacted. The
decision of the court comes as a great
disappointment to the members Of the
farm bloc In both senate and house,
as we have looked upon this measure
as one of our real achievements. The
court decision makes us all the keen
er to pass law which will stand the
test"

John G. Shedd, President of Marshall

CHICAGO, Aug. John c. Shedd,
president of Marshall Field & Co. a

home to celebrate the occasion.
Mr.. Shedd was born in Alstead, N. H.,
in 1850 and after a common school edu-
cation worked for several years in re
tail stores in that vicinity. His ambi-
tion led him to Chicago, where he applied
in person to Marshall Field and got a
job as stock boy, at $40 a week. He
was q years old at the time. In 1906
when Mr.. Field died, Mr.. Shedd became
president Of the company
For more than % years he has been
the guiding spirit of the firm, directing
the wholesale and retail branches and
the vast manufacturing activities. He
has seen the business grow from Sl5,-
100000 a year to more than $500, 900 600.
He is one of Chicago's foremost citizens
taking an important part in its financial
commercial and civic enterprises, and
giving large gifts to Chicago institu-
tions.
It has been the custom in the Field
organization when an emploYe has com
pleted 80 wears of continuous service tC
