American nation in a radio

He depicted Russia as flaunt-

a Today visit to Soviet Russia.
Shaw highly praised the pres

fully asserted it was merely carry

long ago.
His words were winged across
the ocean, received here, and re.
broadcast throughout the nation
Some of Shaw's pithy comments
were:

WINDSOR, Ontario, Sept. 30
Rumors that beer soon will be sold
by the glass in Ontario, continued
here today, although there has been
no confirmation of them. The plan
now is in operation in the province
of Quebec.
Premier George S. Henry is said
to favor sale of beer and ale by the
glass as means of increasing reve-
nue.. Under the present law, beer
may be purchased only in govern
ment stores. Wet leaders hope to
see the change made within a month.

SAN BENITO, June 24.-Although
there has been no general discus
sion Of the National Fruit and
Vegetable Exchange, Inc, a set-up
designed to handle fresh fruits and
vegetables marketed by grower
owned co~-operatives. u Is thought
that the Valley cooperative vege-
table marketing association, now in
the process OF formation, may con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY OF using this
outlet.
The principal object OF the new
national exchange, according 70 an
official statement from the Federal
Farm Board is TO form a national
marketing outlet for the grower
owned marketing associations. The
member associations also will be
given assistance in standardizing
containers. procedure. etc.
II is the announced policy Of
the new national organization to
dea primarily with matters OF
distribution and merchandising.
The exchange. which expects 10 be-
gin functiOning about Jan ! when
the Valley winter vegetable deal
Is in fun swing, will not engage in
production financing. Grower as
sOcla-iOns which are members OF
the exchange will obtain necessary
financing through Federal Inter-
mediate Credit Banks and COM
m0rCial credit sources with such
additional assistance as the Farm
Board NAV extend under provisions
OF The Agricultural Marketing Act.

ing plans for the exchange. among
other things, contemplate the es-
tablishment OF sales outlets in al
the important markets OF the coun-
try and that the service OF broker
age concerns and other diStribut-
ing factors already well established
in various markets would be sought
to represent the exchange. Pldns
contemplate the eventual establish
ment Of salaried representatives in
some OF the larger markets. Mr..
Leeper explained that the ex-
change had in mind using present
established channels OF trade TO a
large degree.
Directors OF the exchange have
taken notice of the recent request
by railroads for a horizontal in
rease in freight rates and recog-
nizing the important relation OF
this proposal TO the welfare of the
fruit and vegetable industry. have
appointed a special committee TO
deal with the matter. Any action
will be in the name OF the exchange
rather than the Farm Board.
The National League of Commits
sion Merchants recently announced
That II would fight the proposed
increase.
The exchange expects TO handle
a minimum Of 10000 cars the first
year.
Temporary offices will be opened
in Chicago in charge OF an exec

sary personnel to carry on organ

All over the nation state govern

perplexed by the growing cost Of

vious result of the increasing number
of prisoners. Many penitentisyies are
crowded to the point where officials

The upshot of the matter will be that

can motorists pay only about 80 per

fuel as do the car-owners of the rest

A recent study of prices demon

line in this country is about 20 cents
a gallon. The average for the rest Of
the world is IS cents, In Great
Britain, France, Germany and Italy,
motorists pay up to 40 cents. and in
volivia gas reaches the record price
of IS cents. Even motorists in Canada
and Mexico pay is to. 80 per cent more
than we do.
Gasoline is the only commodity In
general use which now costs less thar
II did before the war. Today's dollar
on the 1918 basis, buys more than 9
dollars worth Of gasoline. but only
about 60 cents worth Of the average
