GERMAN MIDDLEMAN
is DEALT HARD BLOW

FRANKFORT-ON-THE ODER,
Nov. %. (By the Associated
Press The profiteering middle
men dealing in foodstuffs have been
dealt hard blow by the co-opera-
tive efforts Of a comittee represent
ing city and labor officials and a
committee Of the Landbund, on
farmers organization. Under the
new scheme certain quantities OF
potatoes and meats are delivered
weekly at fixed prices and distribut-
ed through municipal authorities.
The result has been that the city
workers and farmers have elimi-
mated the middlemen; retail prices
Of potatoes and meat to consumers
have been reduced nearly so per
cent and the farmers are receiving
better prices than ebfore. Another
advantage is that the supply of po-
tatoes and meat is made certain.
Professor Gagel and other econo-
mists are urging extension Of the
plan to other municipalities.

Morning sessions of the conven-
ventlon opened with one of the
hardest political battles ever ex-
perieaced by an annual convention
OF the organization, and never once
during the polling did either side
waver in the determination TO place
their candidate in the lead.
On one side of the political plank
were delegates from Georgia, Viz
ginia and Alabama, backing Mrs
Frank Harold, of Americas. while
on the other were arraigned the
majority western states and Flori-
da supported Mrs. Amos Fl. Norris,
of Tampa, Fla.
Prediction opinion was that
Mrs. Harold was the natural
choice, since she had held the office
of vice-president-general, but op-
ponents stated that she would meet
more opposition than was anticipat-
ed, and held that the previous OIL
nee would WELD no weight in the
election of the new head of the
organization.

Time to Step Forward

When men fight over fences
trespassing stock, politics or religion
the law steps in and puts an end to
their sqabbing. When rival con-
Germs fall out and seek to cut each
others financial throats the law steps
in again and settles their differences,
When any man, or group of men set
out to damage another mans prop
erty, steal his goods, or cause him
loss in any way, the law steps in and
administers justice. But when cap
ital and labor, represented by groups
Of hot-headed men, inaugurate strikes
and lockouts that spell incalculable
loss and suffering to everybody, then,
strange to say, we object to the law
interfering with what we are pleased
TO call the divine right of men to
quit work"
Really, there isn't single sound
reason why differences of this SORT
should not be settled by law along
with others. Let's get sensible about
it. Let's inaugurate industrial courts,
or whatever is needed. 1t seems tc
be working pretty well for every
body in Kansas. Let's try it in Iowa,

Sale of Powdered Product on
the Grounds That 1t Is
Not Healthful
Food.
WILL ASK LEGISLATURE
TO PROHIBIT SALE
Commissioner Clark Says Food Value
Is Deficient and That Health
Of Children Might
Be Impaired.

Des Moines, Iowa-Dairy interests
in Iowa will ask the coming legis-
lature to pass a law prohibiting the
sale of filled" milk in Iowa, as has
been done in Wisconsin. Opposition
to this product will be on the grounds
that it is not a healthful food for in
fants, claiming that the butter fat
has been largely extracted and oil
fats substituted.
nj fact the opposition t. the prod.
uct is on much the same grounds as
that against oleomargarine, against
| which there has been moro or less
legislation.
Filled" milk sold in the form of
a condensed powder is compare
lively new product and can be sold
at lower price than other condens-
ed milk products.
State Dairy Commissioner Clark
states that this will be the principal
dairy legislation asked for, altho
some amendments to the present
dairy laws will be presented.
Two years ago the legislature gave
wider authority to cities and towns
in the control of the milk supply,
authorizing city councils to license
milk dealers and establish standards
for milk. and cream and to require
that milk sold should be from tested
herds. This law has now been in
operation two years and is credited
with having raised the milk stand
ards throut the state.
Some changes or consultations
may be advocated in the inspection
work done by the dairy department.
The state board of health requires
hotel inspection and the food and
dairy laws require inspection of food.
1t is urged that the hotel inspectors
under the board of health could in
spect food and other products as web
as do the general work of hotel in
spectionr At the presen, time the
health department inspection is
mainly to see that all sanitary regu-
,ations are enforced and similar
statutes applying to hotels.
