WHY GOVERNMENT PRICE
ss,' FIXING WON'T WORK

one OF the most persistent fallacies
is government price-fxing on COM
petitive commodities. There is al
ready government price-fxing in COM
modities and services where competi.
ton plays no part in price determI-
nation. These are railway transpor-
tatlon, electricity, gas, telephone and
telegraph, and SO on. Here govern
ment price-fixing is solely to protect
the consumer. There are two fatal
objections to government prjce-fixing
for agricultural products, which rep
resent the most competitive business
IN the world. These are, first, that it
Will not work; second, that it is al
ways done for the consumer as
against the producer.
Government price-fxing for agricul-
tural products would work If at the
same time the government regulated
wages, profits, middlemen's margins,
the production of all commodities and
the rationing of all consumers. In
short, If the population were enlisted
IN one vast army, directed and ra-
toned, price-fixing would work, but
otherwise not. III the price is fixed on
the wheat the farmer sells, then he
cannot keep on producing wheat II
wages or the cost OF harvesting ma
chinery rise. or II the cost Of other
material he buys rises. So the next
step would be the fixatjon of other
prices, and yet other prices.
The United States government
fixed the price OF wheat but once in
our history, and then 1t was to benefit
consumers, not producers. The gov
eminent might, in an emergency, fix
some agricultural prices for the pur-
pose OF elevating such prices. Such
action would inevitably and speedily
lead to cutlery from city consumers
and a consequent reversal Of policy.
Indeed. the consumers, not the pro-
ducers, are most likely to demand
and secure food price regulation by
government authorities. The farmer,
therefore, who favors any form Of
governmental price-fxing is working
against his own interests. He is put
ting his head into a noose.-James E.
Boyle, Professor of Rural Economics.

Farmer.

Cows of the dairy herds are guarded
with constant care and are subjected
to regular inspections by veterinary
surgeons Herds are carefully groomed,
and their yards and barns are kept
scrupulously clean, as are all utensils.
Milk condenseries are located In the
heart Of the big dairy regions to facili
tate speedy handling, for this is es-
sential if the milk Is to be canned at
''its moment of maturity" Canvas
covered trucks haul the milk to mar
ket, thus protecting the product from
contamination on the way. Arriving
at the condensery, the milk goes
through tests for acidity, sediment,
flavor and butterfat content before it
Is accepted. ~ yA
Experts watch the progress Eof the
milk through every step Of Its way.
1t goes into the evaporating machine;
to the homogenizer, which breaks up
the fat globules so that the milk may
be easily digested by the consumer;
by way Of the almost human filling
machine into sterilized cans then into
the sterilizer, where the cans are sur
rounded by steam and boiling water,
destroying any possible bacteria. In
spectors handle the product as the
last step to see that the canning job
has been perfectly done. Labelling
and packing follow. The housewife
obtains the milk as fresh and sweet as
when 1t came from the COW.

WERE LARGE AS SPARROWS
 BILLION YEARS AGO
DISCOVERY OF PROFESSOR GIL MORE REVEALS GIANT lN-
 SECTS PLAGUED MAN

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 6. (P)-| Proof that prehistoric men were an noyed by giant mosquitoes or similar insects of enormous size is seen by scientists in the discovery of Prof. Charles Gilmore, chronological ex- pert of the Smithsonian institution. Prof. Gilmore has found the imprint of a bug wing measuring more than four inches in length imbedded in a layer of rock belonging to an early epoch.
 Conservative estimate by Prof. Gill more places the age of this rock at 25, ,OO,OOO years, but geologists con- nected with the government geologi- cal survey bureau believe this is too modest a calculation. One of them has written to Prof. Gilmore that, in his opinion, the rock is at least 250,OOO.- 900 or 3OO,OOO,OOO years old. This is the first known instance of prehistor- ic insect marks in the Grand Canyon, where the scientist found the layers of rock.
 Besides the fact that the insect
 probably possessed a long, slender
 dragon fly like body and was doubt
 less as bothersome a pest as the mod
 ern mosquito Prof. Gilmore has
 learned little more about it so far. i Twenty seven hundred pounds of rock,
 however, have been collected by him in the basement of the new National
 museum, and their careful study is
 expected to reveal many hitherto un- known scientific facts. Three geolo- gical strata of rocks are represented III the COlleCllOH OH6 was OololHou ] by Prof. Gilmore 1,O5O feet below the : rim of the Grand Canyon; second, 1, 400 feet down, and third, 1,S00 feet from the top.
 Reptiles, amphibians and inverte- brate animals have left approximately 25 different varieties of tracks on the surface of these layers of stone, which have been transferred to the museum with infinite pains in order not to chip off or injure the imprints : which are now being examined by ! their discoverer.

One of the most vital subjects dis
cussed at the meeting of the Educa-
tional committee of the Maine Coun-

After the present situation in

the subject be held In strategic CEN
tiers of the State.
Rev. Fletcher Fl. Knollin of Wa
terville, Josiah Taylor of Augusta,
and Mrs. Atha Freeman of Auburn
were appointed as subcommittee

UNCONVENTIONAL Secretaries Hole
Conference to Discuss Sectional
Problems and Recommend Action

Denominational superintendents
and secretaries of various denomina-
lions of the state ON Thursday met
conference at which the problems OF
various localities We're talked over
and an effort made to work out a So
luton which would do away with the
duplication of effort and perhaps re-
suit in better church service than has
heretofore been received.
There Is growing tendency In the
various denominations to work with
the others in this manner in order
that the entire cause of Christianity
might be furthered, and this confer
ence Of church leaders provides a
basis upon which this work may be
carried along. Many Of the problems
brought up at this time will of ne
cessity receive much thought before
a satisfactory solution Is evolved.
The remedy in many cases is for a
federation of the churches now OPP
Grating, or for one to drop out and
leave the field to another.
Those present were Rev. Stanley
Manning of Augusta, Universalist
superintendent; Rev. Henry W.
Webb Of Wiscassett, representing
Rev. Alfred V. Bliss, Congregational
superintendent, who Is i'll: Rev. John
S. Pendleton Of Waterville, Baptist

other sources. The plaintiff. Mr..
Tobey was represented by Attorneys
Harvey B. Eaton and J. Raymond
