with a 100000 pound butter sur
plus said Senator Schuman, rs that
dairy farmers are running their "
business.
"The interests inspiring these state
ments throughout the dairying sections
are attempting 10 convince the public
that butter Is the only dairy product
suffering from surplus. This Is far
from the real fac+e All dairy products
including fluid n and can are be-
low normal market value q the
farmer,
There was an increased 81 plus of
0O.0OO,OOO pounds of evaporated and
condensed milk In storage ar the be-
ginning Of 1880 we the previous
year. Powdered milk showed an add
ed surplus Of 1891 ,SO7. The dairy
market division of the Bureau Of Az
ricultuyal Economics reported recent
ly that the average price Of cheese In
1879 was the lowest since 1926. If the
accusation that farmers caused the
butter surplus Is true. then they
could be equally blamed for the sur
plus OF all these products.
ut IL probable that all these accusa-
tions are in reality based on informa-
ton secured from butter people who
are naturally not interested In the
farmers welfare or earning power,
but solely In the margin Of profit they
themselves obtain. That Is why, when
q butter surplus confronts them, they
blame the farmer for eating substi-
tutes.
1T has been an immemorial pastime
to blame the farmer for all the diff
culties Of agriculture. When he un-
derstands that the real facts are be
Ing suppressed, his awakening will be
an unpleasant experience to those
who are throwing dust In his eyes"

Richland County Fair
Held Sept. 9-1O-1l-12

The management of the Richland
County fair has decided to give the
visitors to the Fair this year a real
treat of a different kind and bring
to the city the famous and world
widely know Ernie Young, producer
and originator of outdoor Revues for
Fairs.
The word Ernie Young is synony-
nous with beauty, stupendousness,
talent, technique, music, song, ballet
and every known art Of the dance
and the Revue he is bringing here is
his best masterpiece of this season
and consists of a prima donna, six
teen beautiful chorus girls, a dance
team, boy dancers, wardrobe mis-
t~resses, electricians. machaniciams.
Miss Myrtle Lansing, who carried
lead parts in such plays as "The Des-
ert Song" "Wonderful Night" and
"The Student Prince, is the prima
donna not only a singer with a sweet
and true soprano voice but is a beau
tiful girl, possessing a most gracious
manner. And she carries off mus
ually high honors in this picturesque
and musical extravaganza. An at
tractive soubrette and the excellent
dance team of Szita and Annis and
the balance of a well balanced cast
of principals as we'll as the galaxy Of
chorus girls round out this extraor-
binary entertainment. The scenic
background, the myriads Of electric
lights, and 1000 watt globes, and the
augmented band is the treat Of a life
time for Fair visitors.

1--WE had some trip, Patmont
said with boyish enthusiasm when
seen in New York. "This car is 13
years old but believe me it's a dandy.
1t averaged more than 20 miles on a
gallon of gasoline and used very lit
tie oil. We took every hill on high
and crossed the Rockies in one night.
We made the trip more cheaply and
more quickly than any way ! know
of. Some days we made more than
800 miles and we never speeded. In
practically every town we reached we
attracted a lot Of attention"
The 1917 Overland car vas pur-
chased one year ago by Patmont for
twenty-five dollars. 1t functioned
perfectly throughout the journey de-
spite that fact that it was driven all
over Santa Rosa for a year prior to
its cross-country trip.
When the boys arrived in New
York they drove down Broadway to
the Woolworth building where the
young Californians parked their cal
while they visited the Woolworth
towner. When they returned to the
car they found such a large crowd
gathered around the 1917 Overland
that they had considerable difficulty
in driving away.
Both boys plan to drive back tc
California in the same car despite the
fact that they have been offered
funds to purchase a new car for the
trip.

for u.s." they told officials of the

Gilbert Lasater, old time Plenty
wood resident, arrived here from Eu-
gene, Oregon, his present home, and
expects to remain here for about a
month to look after his farming in
terests here. He says that conditions
on the coast are bad, owing to the
shutting down Of the numbering in
dustry upon which a great many of
the people there depend for a living.
The employment situation there is
bad with thousands Of men out of
work. He says that crops are good

cades finds the conditions reversed

ton that American farmers are re-
ceiving "unsound advice" when they
are told to ''eat more butter and

American farmers should be advised

economic stability by making good
butter and eating wholesome substi-
tutes II economically advisable"
Denmark relies almost entirely -
its dairying industry for prosp~<av."
Freund pointed out. 1.-THE peopas Of
Denmark consume nearly sixteen times
as much margarine per capita Al DO
Americans. Yet the Danes are noted
for their sturdy health and physical
development. The death rate In Den.
mark from tuberculosis, various forms
of kidney diseases. and other ailments
due to improper diet Is about 30 per
cent less than the death rate from
similar causes In the United States.
while the Danes ship their butter
abroad. they are great milk drinkers
and patronixe their diaries for milk
and cream to a much greater degree
than GO Americans. And thus they
avoid vast butter SURPRISES.
American dairy farmers would do
we'll to follow the successful Danish
plan rather than the economically

Law Additions
Are Proposed

To assure that there will be no
more unsightly skeleton-lined shore
line, dry stream beds, or destruction
Of sport and commercial fisheries re-
sources, and most fundamental of all
to safeguard values that are vital
to the future of America, the people
must give to the Federal Power
Commission the power they now lack
but obviously need.
Last fall the Commission, follow
ing an inspection of the Cumberland
Falls site, asked Attorney General
Mitchell for an opinion and on July
l, 1880, in an official opinion he re-
pliad that, "There is nothing in Sec
ton % Of the Federal Water Power
Act or any other provision of the law
that authorizes the Commission to
deny or grant a license in a case like
that under consideration because Of
aesthetic, recreatioal, scenic or like
considerations"
This consideration came as a bomb
shell to the conservation forces OF
America, even though it did advise
that if the State Of Kentucky shows
evidence of proceeding under Ken
lucky legislation to take over the
area for park purposes the Commits
sion would not be justified in acting
upon application But what about
other applications in which such pub
lie values are a vital issue?
The Izaak Walton League has Civ
en- these matters chose study for
several years. 1t anxiously awaited
the Attorney Generals decision. That
decision having been rendered, it's fu-
ture course was at once clearly de-
fined. The League met the issue
squarely by deciding, in a resolution
adopted by the Executive Board on
July 20, to launch at once a nation
wide campaign for legislation am
ending the power law so that it will
call upon the Federal Power Com
mission:
l.. To consider the effect upon see
| mic, historic, recreational and all
other public values when passing up
or applications for power permits.
2. To cur for government scien-
tifc bureaus expert opinion on the
efftc of each proposed project on wld
life of all types and when granting a
permit require the installation OF
means approved by such government
bureaus for preventing the destruc-
ton Of migratory fishes or other val
liable wild life.
3. To require that all licenses cut
clean and remove all timber and tree
growth from the entire flowage area
to prevent unsightly conditions, tx
minimize the breeding of mosquitoes
and other features that endangel
health and life, and to remove haz-
ards to the users of such impounded
waters for recreational purposes.
4. To require all licenses to allow
a sufficient flow Of water in the ma
tural tream bed below all dams tt
maintain not less than the norma
ten-year low water flow.
5. To require all licenses to oper
