INDUSTRY.
SOUGHT

The acquisition of light manu-
featuring interests for the District
of Columbia is to be one of the
principal projects of the Merch-
ants and Manufacturers Associ-
alton for the coming year.
A committee headed by Maj.
Gen. Anton Stephan. past presi-
dent of the association, is engaged
In a study of the manufacturing
situation in Washington, with a
view of opening up now unused
industrial sections Of the city to
factories which might locate here.
Edward D. Shaw, secretary of
the organization, today brought
out the need of such enterprises
here. Shaw pointed out that some
means of providing employment
for young men and women of
Washington is needed.
In the case of young people
whose parents are in the Govern
ment> service, Shaw pointed out,
it is impossible for them to follow
in the business of their father,
hence they must seek other work.
He also stated that many per-
sons would like to locate here. but
are unable to do so because of
lack of industries which would
provide employment for them.
The opening of New York Az.
enue to BladenSburg Road North
east. is one of the projects backed
by the eMrchantS and ManufaC-
turers in connection with this in.
dustrial campaign. Extension of
this thoroughfare. they contend.
would open up an industrial sec
ton which is now unused and in.
accessible. The Southwest sec
ton was pointed out as another
section where there are unused
sites for industrial projects.
Industries could be obtained
the association contends, which
would not interfere with the
Identification of the District, nor
mar the present beauty of the
city.
In addition to General Stephan,
those on the committee studying
the industrial question are Arthur
j. Sundlun and Richard Land.

FARMER SELLS CREAM
AND E.tTS OLEO

If the above individuals name
appeared in print would't he be
ashamed Of himself? The facts are
that the above individual is only
one Of hundreds of farmers in our
county doing the very same thing.
Store keepers in the county report
that every day many farmers come
into their stores and purchase gro
ceries and invariably among their
purchases are pounds and pounds
of oleo Many of these farmers sell
cream, and yet persist in such a
ruinous practice. One country
store in the county selling to no
one but farmers, sells over 80
pounds of oleo twice a month. Yet
we hear much kicking and complaint
over the drop in the price of butter
fat and the corresponding reduction
in the farmers cream check. Ii
each farm family producing milk in
the United States would consume
two additional ounces of butter a
day in place Of the oleo they eat, the
present surplus of butter would be
wiped out in a months time and
the price of butterfat again up
where ii ought to be.
Let's not hear any more kicking
about the price of buttertat until we
find no more farmers purchasing
and eating oleo.--XX
