Just now the blind pig lives by the
reflected light of a few prominent

sense. There are tens of thousands of
blind pigs in New York. Chicago, Phila-
delphia and Mr.. Ford's own Detroit,

know of the vast amount of liquor that
is carried every day and night in auto
mobiles his attitude would be modified
Quoting the statement about soggy

beside it the news item, "A party last
night. at which there was considerable
drinking. resulted in fatal injuries early
today to one of the members and adds:

journal, that most of the cases of
hit, skip and reckless driving are the
result of motorists having their hides
full of forbidden booze. Since the
bootlegging trade. which flourishes I'M
der the name of prohibition, is as widely
dispersed as the old rum power, and
the unregulated blind tigers far out
number the old-time open saloons, why
doesn't he make application of his eco
nomic power to destroy bootlegging?"
1t is permitted to wonder" suggests
the Newark Evening News. whether, if
the prohibition policy we're slain by
repeal or radical revision of the laws,
Mr.. Ford would really close down and
retire. He is a dyed-in-the-wool
propaganda. But living just over the
Canadian border and doing bit of
travelling now and then, does he really
expect people to believe he believes
prohibition is 80 per cent effective in
the Nation as a whole?"

O. From what distance is the IL
Illuminated dome Of the Capitol visible
to a night aviator?-S. E. G.
A. 1t depends entirely upon the
height of the aviator and the clear
ness of the night. From an altitude
of 10000 feet the dome might be seen
nearly 100 miles away.
@. Why don't architects include the
pantry in the building of new houses?-
r. S.
A. It usually requires too many
steps. as the homemaker has to pass to
and from the sink or work table to get
utensils and supplies. 1t also was gen.
orally a catch-all for dust and for many
things which did not belong in the
pantry. Generally it is a poor invest
ment. since the cost of the average
pantry would pay for all the needed
built-in equipment Of the average
kitchen.
c. In auction bridge what is the diff
ference between the terms refuse" and
''renounce"?-L. K.
A. To fail to follow suit is to re-
fuse. To refuse when able to follow
suit is to renounce.
@. What is the size of the Chicago
Loop district?-E. S.
A. The Loop area of Chicago COM
prises approximately one square mile.
@. What is sujuk?-H L.
A. Suzuki is a Turkish preparation
sometimes called rajik, and is made by
Stringing WalnutS on pieces of stout
lwine about ! yard long and MINERS
ing them in mixture Of grape molaSSes
and flour. After receiving a coating of
about one-fourth inch. they are with
drawn and hung up to dry. 1t is said
to be an excellent article of food, and
palatable.
@. What is the difference between
an ordinary survey and a geodetic sur
yey?-N. C. P.
A. A geodetic survey is one which
covers large areas and takes into &C
count the fact that the earth has a
curved surface. 1t Is usually called a
control survey because it furnishes
geographic positions and other data for
more detailed local surveys. In ordinary
surveying. the earth's curvature is
ignored. and points Of equal elevation
above sea level are treated as being
plane. This is satisfactory for local
survey, but when several independent
local surveys are brought together their
lines are quite apt not to fit unless each
survey has been made under geodetic
control survey.
@. What bird stays in the air the
longest?-S. o.
A. The albatross is thought to be
able to stay in the air longer than any
other bird. This is because of its great
length of upper arm and forearm and
because the number of flight feathers
carried on the wing exceeds that of any
other bird. Albatrosses will follow YES
sells for days at time. and they are al
most the only visible inhabitants of the
wastes Of the Southern oceans.

Authoritative Censorship,

Recent court decisions have over
ruled the customs service in It's judg-
ment Of books that are fit to read and
after an extraordinary amount Of pub
licity the books. once suppressed, arc
released, with the result that those of
questionably proper content are sought
after by large numbers of readers who
otherwise might never have known OF
their existence. The decisions of the
courts are encouraging. in that they
demonstrate the fact that the customs
service does not hold the final word OF
authority on what We should and what
we should not be allowed to read. But
they are discouraging, in that they in
dictate again the dangerous hazards OF
censorship. All that foreign author
must do now to assure him the success
attending large sale is to get his book
denied admittance to this country by
the customs service-then appeal the
case to a higher and perhaps more
broadminded authority.
The Senate finance committee has
retained In the pending tariff bill the
House provision giving the customs
service censorship authority over books
that might tend to incite violence
against out constituted Government
and Government officials. If the House
and Senate agree. the customs service
will have an added responsibility, fol
it must not only protect Our morals, but
our political PHILOSOPHERS as we'll from

THE WHEAT

There is much speculation at present concerning the
reason for the high prices that are beino paid for wheat in
Canada as compared with the prices now being paid in the
United States.
One fact is established, and that is that while Canada is
strictly on an export basis and presumably governed by Liv-
erpool quotations, the prices being paid for wheat there are
SO much higher than those in the United States, which will
have but a very small export margin, that farmers a short dis
lance south of the boundary line are hauling their wheat to
Canadian elevators, paving the duty Of Il cents per bushel
and netting a good profit.
Various reasons are assigned. The North Dakota-Mon-
tana Wheat Growers Association attributes it to the effcien-
cy OF the Canadian pool control as an aid to orderly market
ing; Senator Nye of North Dakota is quite certain that the
lower market in the United States is due to manipulation
by grain spectators in Duluth, Chicago and Minneapolis
whom he charges with having exhausted storage facilities by
shipping IN southwestern wheat and thus forcing northwes-
tern farmers to sell on a flooded market.
A member OF a prominent grain commission firm takes
issue with these views and attributes Canada's higher prices
to speculation IN Canadian wheat. The American farmers"
he says, wanted to stop speculation in his wheat. He asked
tor government supervision and got it. The big Spectator
turned his efforts to the stock market and found an oasis in

an unrestricted wheat market in Winnipeg. When was in
London around the first of July, English spectators were
buying Winnipeg futures hand over fist and not a single man
told me that he was buying in American markets. The most
simple example can give you of how speculation effects
prices is to point to Canadian grain with a wide open market.
to the price of stocks n a wide open market and the price Of
American wheat with supervised markets. That tells the
story in a nutshell
1t is possible that diversity of interests accounts or these
divergent views, but it seems that it should be possible to
discover and point out the real cause for such an unusual sit
1t is interesting to note that the federal farm board
has instituted an investigation, and it is to be hoped that its
into the matter will disclose the real cause in order
that any unfair discrimination against the farmers of the

World news events were ruthlessly relegated to the dis
card in last weeks edition of the Producers News in order
hat Charles f. Taylor might, ike little Jack Homer of nurs-
cry rhyme fame, tell the world what a great man he was.
A column and a half Of solid straight matter was devot
ed by that publication in telling how Ex-Congressman Up
shaw, the highest priced orator Of the Anti-Saloon League,
was being rushed to Minot to combat the remarkable influ-
ence on public sentiment which Mr.. Taylor has been exerting
in North Dakota.
Another column and a half is devoted to an interview
which the Honorable Senator Taylor graciously granted Ed
aol Charles T. Taylor relative to Mr.. Upshaw, the AntrSa-
loon League, the American Temperance League, MissoGni
end other matters of national and international Importance.
Another three columns IS devoted to an alteration be
tween Charles E. Taylor and Colonel Sheridan in which Mr..
Taylor wise-cracks at the expense of the Colonel. 1t was a
decidedly abridged report, however, Of the set to for in the
original conversation Senator Taylor was not glib in his re
marks and supplemented much of his revamped pertness with
language that wuIdn look good in print.
Another column vaguely conveys the distinguished
senator's chagrin at being caught in undress attire while par
taking of anti Nolsted refreshnent. We are not clear on that
point. but that seemed to Be the impression he wished to
convey.
Conceit is a rather harmless failing, and it would be
unkind to begrudge the stately senator an occasional orgy of
self alteration. Ex-CongressInan Upshaw, however, it is re-
lated was not so considerate. After reading the marked copy
Of the Producers News sent him he expressed great amuse-
ment and inquired of a friend: Who is this Senator Taylor
anyway"
To this the companion replied: Never heard Of him.

Whether one may or may not be in sympathy with the
National prohibition laws, one connot help but concur with
the sentiment of Senator Howell Of Nebraska, that, if any
place in this nation, the dry laws should be enorced in the
county should expect the seat Of their government to set a
good example for the rest Of the country. The idea that res
idents OF one city or region should enjoy privileges and lib
critics not accorded the rest OF the county is obnoxious to the

Harry Sinclair has decided that he is a martyr, the victim

mand.. Sinclair is mistaken if he thinks he can win any

taken if he thinks he can narrow the popular count against
him to jury surveillance. He will never be able to eradicate
from the public his dealings with Fall; and the result is that
while he is thinking about one thing the country is thinking
