The Market News Service

The recent action Of congress increasing the an
nusI appropriation Of the market news service to ST.
22ToOo will be a source Of considerable satisfaction %
the agricultural interests q the country. especially
In the fruit and winter vegetable growing sections. De-
~velcpment Of this service, inaugursted several years
ago by the IT,. $. Department Of Agriculture as an *
pertinent, has been rapid. and it is now recognized by
the farmers. shippers and iobbcrs Of the United States
as one OF the most valuable bureaus operated By the
federal department.
In practically all states the market news service re-
eeises the cooperation and financial ala o. the state
departments Of agriculture, and in the South and on
the Pacific coast, where the service has been most
highly developed. its expansion has been rapid
when the appropriation was before congress las;
month, an effort was Eade by certain congressman and
senators to remove that provision requiring local aid in
establishing the service in any community. This local
aid varies from sIoo TO $500 annually. in accord with
the service rendered, the higher figure being demanded
in localities such a. the Lower Rio Grardc Valley,
where the maximum service Is required ~ the shipping
interests. The contention Of those who opposed clim-
nation Of shis provision Vas that i would cheaper
and rmbsrraSs the service; that every section shipping
n few carloads CT agricultural products would demsua
the nsAimum service, the government to dsfrsy the
cost.
That the service u worth far more than the smount
demanded from tho various communities has beer
proved repeatedly. especially in the Lower Rio Graude
VALLEY. where IT, services during the shipping season
has proved invaluable to both growers and shippers
II is obvious that II It were established free Of cost T.

The reasons for my interest in the simplificstion y
the calendar are the irregularities in the present sys.
TEN that affect the value OF business accounts. The
only hindrance to the institution Of q simplified 81
ehoar Is that the present calendar is of long standing
Business men Of the United States use statistic
more than business men Of other countries.
Business in America, is conducted on such . Isrr.
scale that it is necessary to keep accurate accounts. II
Is the usual thing among large industries to have sta
tisticsl departments.
We really know few things absolutely. We measure
things almost wholly by comparison. A business wants
to know the volume Of production and the costs Of pro-
duction TINS month IN comparison with what il was in
this week or this month of last year. And it is q 81.
rious fault with cur statistics that comparisons fron,
month to month with the corresponding months Of pre-
vious years are not accurate. A month may have five
this year when il had only four last year.
We are interested not only in statistics Of our own
and trade. but in those Of other countries
we study world statistics and it is important to US that
the statistics Of I'll countries shall be on a comparable
basis.

 T also suffered with stomach trouble, constipation and bilious ness. For months I lived almost entirely on soup and bread. My general condition became dread fully rundown. I tried nearly ev- cry medicine heard of, but noth- ing did me any real good until took Sargon.
 Now, l am like different man. Every ache and pain is gone. I eat anything I want without sign of trouble. The rheumatism has disappeared and my strength and energy have returned. A friend of mine who had seen me on the street few months ago, saw me the other day. was hustling along walking as good as anybody. He could hardly believe his own eyes and asked me What in the world have you done and I told him all credit was due to Sargon.

 ALAN J.6oulD

You may not hear a great deal about him, for he prefers to work In tho background and enjoy the re- suits, yet whenever professional sport needs to have it's pulse ex- amined, Doctor" Joe Carr, the genial, silver-haired organizer, is likely to be called in for consulta- tion.
 When Joe is not running the af- fairs of the Columbus baseball club in the American Association, he is busy with the management of the National Profess sional Football League or the American Profession al Basketball League The silver thatched citizen of Columbus at- tends to his sports in season.
 Did you know that most of the most successful college football coaches, perhaps over 75 per cent e. them, came out of professional ra.2s3?" inquired Joe, who stayed v.tl pro football when everyone else gave it up for dead.
 No, we didn't know it. So Joe went on:
 Take Rockne, since you mention ed him. After leaving Notre Dame he played number of years on an Ohio professional team. His team mate, Gus Dorais, now the success full coach of the University of De- troit, was with him. When they were looking for an assistant to Jess Harper at South Bend, Rockne was selected. That's how he got his start and the experience he had in pro ranks was a big help to him.
 With one or two exceptions, the college coaches are good friends of professional football. The Na- tional League has played fair with the colleges, enforcing it's iron-clad rule against tampering or dickering with any player while he is still in college. The rule goes further It prohibits any club from signing or making an offer to a player un- til after his college year. In other words, he can't quit college and join one of our proteams during or after the college season.
 We are in the football business but not to the detriment of or in competition with the college game. Thousands of football fans cannot see the major college games, even if they desire to. But they can and are going to see pro football"
 The professional gridiron stars may not have the good old door die spirit of their college days, if they had any, but they play better football, smarter football on the whole.
 Success on the college gridiron is not always an assurance of ability to star in pro ranks. Except for one or two flashes, Red Grange was never able to duplicate his col lege stuff after he turned pro- Yet Benny Friedman, Michigan's famous quarterback who was over -shadowed by Grange in college days, has add ed to his reputation among the paid performers.

 Led by Karl Kihlbom, member of Parliament, the Swedish com munists retreated to the office of the newspaper Politiken Commun- ist, just in time to frustrate an at tack by the Moscow adherents on the editors office.
 Things simmered down, but for time the Politiken office was under constant guard by Stockholm police.
