An exchange says that one reason
the Pacific ocean is so much bigger
than any Of the other oceans is be-

There is reason to believe that Mrs.
Carrie sLamphear, of the COdd sub

We have become used to reading
of trains crushing automobiles when
the crash comes at the crossing. The
collision between a fast passenger

of our citizens and the autonomy Of
the states is in the enacting Of laws
by congress without CONSTITUTIONAL
warrant, for federal supervision over
agricultural work, educational work,
health work. and other matters Of
purely local concern. ba
The fderal authorities at Washing

agricultural problems, our educational
problems, and our health problems, as
the people of our states themselves
know, and they certainly cannot be

local problems than the citizens of the

agents who buy and sell agricultural
products, and to designate preferred
dealers" to take over the grading,
