Penn n scored twenty-eight eggs and
Pens Is, GS, 76. IS and 80 each made
yields of twenty-seven eggs. Eighty
two pens produced twenty or more eggs
and twelve birds made perfect scores.
Very great improvement in tone is
noticeable throughout the competition
and a change to balmy. clear weather
would result at once in full prOduc-
':on by all pens. Within the last
week or so all birds have come into
lay. and this fact means better pro-
duction for whole flock or 800 birds
until peak production is reached later
In midsummer.
Egg production this season has been
below normal since January 1 ; it seems

egg production follows high cold storage

been telling the vets that if they
want referendum, the easiest way
to get it is for the wet Senators and
Representatives to proclaim their
views and ask reelection on the is
sue. Then they would very quickly
discover the sentiment of the peO-
pie.
When Senator Bruce, of Maryland,
was challenged to resign and seek
reelection on the wet issue, he dOd-
ged byeXplaining he was afraid the
people of his State had so low an
opinion of him in general that they
would defeat him for his incapacity
rather than for his wet views.
The truth is that the national ref
erendum is urged by the wet politi-
clans, who are afraid to endanger
their own political lives by running
as vets. The outcome in this State
has not heartened them, for there
was a three-cOrnered fight on the
senatorship, and by any fair analysis
of the figures more dry than wet
votes were cast.
The Judiciary Subcommittee was
asked to report also on the legality
of the Presidents order permitting
the employment of State and local
officials in the prohibition enforce
ment service. 1t is understood that
it has found that the President act
ed entirely within his rights. This
has been the view all along of those
who have not yielded to prejudice
one way or another.
There was nothing new in the
practice which the President author
iZed. And there was no invasion of
the rights of the States. Mr.. Coolidge
would be the last man to consent to
such an invasion. He has consistent
ly condemned the extension of Fed
eral authority into the realms prop
erly under the control of the States
and has demanded that that extern
sion stop where it is, even if the Fed
eral Government does not withdraw
itself from some of it's activities.
The order means that the Admin
istration is committed to the en-
forcement of the prohibition laws by
every legitimate method. 1t means
that the vets must do their own
campaigning without assistance from
the White House, and that until con-
vincing evidence to the contrary is
forthcoming the Administration is
acting on the theory that the country
as a whole is dry and wants to be
dry.

stored by nonprOducers for profit at
the expense of the producer"
OF course there is always the COM
munity cold storage plant as a solu-
tiOn to the problem Of stahilizing prices.
Canada has many community
governmental-assiste storage plants. So
profitable is cold storage that the Cana
dian Government lends a large part of
the money necessary to build storage
plants wherever an amount Of local
money nearly equal to the Government
lean can be raised.
PENNSYLVANIA, New Jersey or Della
ware all contain many communities
fully able to "a up enough capital to
finance at least one-half the cost OF Il
community storage plant and local
banks will, any of them, finance the
other half
Many banks have financed on very
liberal terms many cow improvement
pro ects in all parts OF the country.
In cow financing the return to the
bank is a slow prOcess-the return on

THE MERCHANTS QUIZ

If this were an examination test,
how many of these questions could
you answer?
The purpose of these monthly quiz
questions published in Good Hard
ware is to give the reader a key to
a general fund of business informa-
ton:
Questions
1. When you double the diameter
of pipe how many times do you in
crease its capacity?
2. How many more finishing nails
are there to the pound than regular
nails?
8. To what uses are solid braided
cord best adapted?
4. What is hold back spring
hinge?
5. Does the brush canvasser charge
more or less for his brushes than the
average hardware store?
Answers
1. Four times.
2. Finishing nails run about 7595
more to the pound than regular
nails.
8. 1t is durable in running over
pulleys, but is also adapted to any
use requiring a smooth, round cord
such as for clothes-line, awning line,
dump-waiter rope, flag halyards, etc.
4. 1t is a spring hinge principally
used on screen doors in which the
door is held open after the door has
been swung past certain point.
5. In most towns brushes can be
bought at an average lower price
from the hardware store than the
canvasser-sometimes as much as 25
per cent less.

NATIONAL REFERENDUM
OF DOUBTFUL VALIDITY
1t Is Favored Chiefly BY Vets Who
Are Afraid To Put Their Wetness
To The Test OF Popular Approval.
(From Evening Ledger


AS it is always prudent to deal
sDaringly in prophecy, II would be
foolish for any one to attempt to pre-
dict the ultimate outcome of the
present agitation of the vets for a
relaxation of the present stringent
prohibitions on the sale of alcoholic
beverages.
There has been much talk of a ma
tiOnal referendum. The drys have Op-
posed it, as they have everything to
lose if it went against them and no.
thing to gain if they won. The vets,
on the other hand, have everything
to gain if they carry it and nothing
to lose if the present status is sup
ported by popular vote.
But all this talk seems to be was
ted breath. A subcommittee of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, to
which the cOnstitutionality of a ma
tional referendum was referred, has
reported that there is nothing in the
Constitution which provides for it.,
that the trainers Of the Constitution
evidently did not contemplate any
such device, and that no laws have
been passed providing for it's use.
The conclusions of this subcom-
mittee are in accord with the opin-
ion of the ablest constitutional law
yers. They are not trumped up for
the occasion by the dry majority of
the group considering the question.
Men who remember what happened
the day before yesterday have not
forgotten the ridicule that was heap
ed on Bryan when he proposed that
the Nation should not go to war un-
til after referendum on the sub
ject.

The American Government is a
representative democracy, in which
the conduct of affairs is delegated to
regularly elected officials. The pow
ers of these officials are set forth
and limited by specific provisions in
the Constitution. All other powers
are reserved to the States or to the
people. The Constitution does not
authorize the Congress to shirk it's
responsibility to frame legislation by
providing machinery through which
the wishes of the electors on specific
issues may be made known.
OF course, it is possible that Con-
gress might by resolution authorize
a referendum on the wet issue, but
the drys would certainly attack it in
the courts, so that instead of getting
a referendum the vets would get a
lawsuit in the first instance. The ref
erendum advocates recognize the OBJ
stacles in their way. They have pro-
posed that if the State authorities re-
fuse to cooperate under a resolution
of Congress, the referendum should
be conducted by the Postmasters or
the Bureau of the Census. This sug-
gestion carries its own comment.

Having nothing else to do, the COM

Young Workers League, the Workers

CARNATIONS.
Forgetting the meaning of the word
revolution" that adorns the name Of
their useless and superanuated organ

former rebels against Great Britain
have during the past years carried on
first class counter-revolutionar tao
tics-mainly by word of mouth.
The Los Angeles d. A. r. took its
stirring measure (the passing Of a
resolution) following the brilliant"
exposure by tht Los Angeles Evening

Gait a Soviet republic for this coun-
