Beer Bills Beaten

The daily press last week
carrie d soaring headlines
heralding the fact that a vote
on the beer tax measure, of the
Hon. Mr.. Tydings, wet mouth
piece in the Senate, was to be
taken, but had little comment
to make over the vote, when
the measure was beaten by
more than two to one.
Little consolation could be
found by the vets on Monday
either, despite their previous
loud trumpetings, VIXEN the
House rejected a motion to dis
charge the Ways and Means
Committee from further con-
sideration of the O'Connor-
Hull 2.75 per cent beer bill by a
vote of 228 to 1859. On this roll
call the beer advocates had
eighteen fewer votes than did
the vets on the roll call on the
Beck-Linthicum resubnlission
resolution. The vote on the
latter was 227 to 1877.

Monday, the 30th, is Memoir
ial Day,-one of our most sac
red national days. A day when
the living pay tribute to their
dead.
Primarily it is the one day of
the year that has been dedicat-
ed to the honor and memory of
that great army of soldiers that
has marched away to the last
long encampment.
But custom has gradually
brOadened this to include all
our loved ones who have gone
before, when the living, in rev.
erent memory, place flowers on
the graves of these too, as a
silent and sacred tribute.
Let us then pause in the
hurry of our daily routine, and
pay howage, in memory at
least, by placing a garland on
The last resting place of those
of our loved ones who have
passed on.

Behind A Bottle OF Milk

In discussing some Outstand-
ing farm problems, an authori-
ty on those subjects vividly de-
scribed what is back of the
bottle of milk the housewife
finds on her doorstep each
morning.
Back of it are the broad
green fields, the rolling hills,
the shining homes and barns
of the countryside. Back of it
are plants employing thous-
ands of men and women, and
express trains and trucks
speeding the milk to the city
so it may be delivered in perfect
condition. Back of it is the
prosperity, or the failure, of
whole communities, of banks,
farms, manufacturing business
seS.
If that bottle of milk sells
for a fair price, it means that
taxes are met, mortgages are
paid promptly, men are given
work at good wages. If it sells
for an extremely low price, as
is the case in many states at
present, it means that mortg-
ages are foreclosed, bills and
taxes are unpaid, stores go into
bankruptcy. Back of that bot

A good commodity cannot
be produced at too low a price,
whether that commodity be
milk, or wool, or automobiles,
or furniture, or clothing. That
is the reason, in the case of the
farmer, for cooperatives which,
through mass action, give ag-
riculture the bargaining power
with which to maintain a fair
price for what it has to sell.
