A WE'LL FED NATION

America is today better fed with
more kinds of nourishing food pre-
pared in better ways than ever be-
fore, according to the Household
.>rts Department head of the UNI
versity of Oregon. Food is simpler,
there is a strong and growing ten
dency towards vegetables rather
towards excessive meat-eating, more
kinds and quantities of the vitamin-
containing raw foods are used, and
improved cooking appliances, es-
pecially electrical and gas, bring
cookery almost to perfection. Gas
and electricity as cooking fuels have
done much to bring the modern bill
of fare to its present wholesome
perfection.

CopPERATIvE MARKETING
GROWS


President Coolidge believes that
the farmer is better able to hadule
his own business than anybody else.
AS an example he cites the growth
of marketing movement
which will show this year turnover
of about two and one-half billion
dollars, or nearly one-tifth OF the
total agricultural business of the
country.
That the government may en-
courage cooperative marketing is
shown both by President Coolidge
and Secretary Jardine. But the
governments proper function is not
to engage directly in cooperative en-
terprise, in buying and, selling, for
that, as these authorities have warn
ed, would be but form of govern
ment price fixing.
What the government can do eff
fectively is to furnish the farmer with
accurate and needed information on
planting of crops, in accordance with
national and world requirements; to
provide improved credit facilities as
an aid to orderly marketing; and
to make available the facts the far
mer needs to guide him intelligently
in an industry that is related vitality
to world conditions.

THE TAX QUESTION

Treasury department estimates
American People will pay for all
kinds of taxes, direct and indirect,
the round sum of 10 billion dollars
in the current fiscal year.
This means that about 81 out OF
81 of the national income goes for
support of various forms OF govern
ment-federal, state, municipal and
county.
The tax burden cannot go on in
.creasing. 1t is doubtful whether il
can be maintained at the present
rate without serious consequences.
Federal taxes are being pared
from every angle and it is now up to
states, counties and cities to follow
the example.

Tax exemption is clearly defeating
its aims by permitting individuals to

escaping all federal taxes and fore
ing the increased burden on those

Flag" won silver trophy as first
prize in the state competition of the
American Legion, with the right to
compete in the finals of the national
contest.
In an interview she said: "My ia
Their and mother were born in Japan,
but | am native of this land of the
Stars and Stripes, so l am glad to
be an American" Here is her prize
winning creed:
Il pledge allegiance to you, Flag
of my United States, in word and
deed. 1 believe that you will help
me to be loyal citizen in peace and
war. believe that you will lead
the world not only in strength but
in righteousness; believe that your
stars are the shining symbol of the
eternal brotherhood of man in this
world. odd Glory as 1 stand and
salute your heroic colors of red,
white and blue, 1 promise to follow
your ideals of liberty, justice and
peace not only for America, but for
the world"

usually fine writing for a girl only
10 years old, and some may be
skeptical as to its having been pro-
duced by child of that age with
