that pnsteurized milk had dropped n

city papers have carried stories Of the
recent reductions In milk prices and
many Island consumers have wonder
ed II this would affect us locally, The
question has been answered.
An incident of this sort tends to
make one refninisce and recall condi-
lions that used to face local milk con-
sumers. Pasteurized milk could not
be obtained on the Island at any price
for years. The first that was brought
over sold from one OF the small grocery
stores at is cents per quart Now we
can have It delivered at our door
daily for 10 cents per quart. Many OF
the mothers will recall their concern
that when their children were small
the principal source Of supply was the
neighborhood COW, and dismal indeed
was the bad news contained in the
statement that the COW had to be
dried up Then there was the In
ouiring about to find some one else
who could sell few quarts of milk O
day. For the babies there was the
necessity of boiling the milk, and
many mother looks back with any
thing but pleasure to those days wher
electric stoves were not as common as
now, and the preparing Of food fol
the baby was a real task.
Now, even out here in the country
this has changed Now we can have
safe milk at price within reach Of
all. True the price Of milk in the cit,

DE NAND
Vacancies, Also, Will Remain
Untitled Except BY
Hoover Order

Increased salaries or addi-
tional personnel for the De-
partment of Agriculture DUR
ing the remainder of the pres
ent fiscal year and the entire
ensuing fiscal year are pro-
hibited by section of the agri-
cultural appropriations bill
which was reported to the
House today.
It is believed that this action
will set an example for all other
departmental appropriations bills.
The section provides that the
only salary increases permissible,
are those as might come to an
individual incidental to the filling
of a vacancy in an essential posi-
tion through the placing OF a
qualified person from a lower
grade.
Vacancies Untitled
Filling of vacancies is pro-
hibited except upon written ap-
proval of the President.
A general policy of allowing
no increases in number of en-
ployes for any given project or
activity is observed, with but
three exceptions. The exceptions
are minor in nature and provide
for elevator operators and fire
men.
From the attitude of the COM
mittee on increased personnel ana
salary increases, it is presumed
that bills following this will con-
tain similar provisions.
The bill carried SITS, ,443,814, a
cut of $1O,799,591 under the re-
commendation Of the budget bu-
Ieau, and $50, ,22O,880 less than ap-
propriated for the present fiscal
year.
Second Slash
This is the second supply bill
reported this session which was
below the budget estimates, the
first deficiency bill, now in the
Senate, carrying nearly $14,00O,-
900 less than recommended.

Murray, of Oklahoma.
The two-fisted raw.boned gov

the 1875 law placing 10 per
cent tax on State banks issues,
so that central banks could be
created in States.
Although this proposal has been

it is sound financial policy.
Murray created a stir in the
