agency of the board and allied cor
porations, undertook to stabilize prices
for the wheat and cotton farmers and
to aid agriculture generally. A half
billion dollars was appropriated by
Congress for the purpose. The grain
trade was outra ged and fought back
at the Farm Board and Mr.. Legge.
The farmers themselves became dis
gruntled, being led, it has been charged,
to this frame of mind by the grain
trade representatives. The activities
of the Farm Board were attacked vio-
lently during the presidential campaign
of 1882. And when the Roosevelt ad-
ministration took charge, one of its
first deeds was to put through Con-
gress a law abolishing the Farm Board
and setting up the A. A. A, the F. C.
A. and other agencies to take its place.
These new agencies have undertaken
to go the Federal Farm Board one
better, or maybe half dozen better.
Yet they have sought to bring the
farmers into the same kind of cooper
alton in their own interests suggested
by Mr.. Legge when he was chairman
of the Farm Board. Mr.. Legge strongly
urged the diverSitication of crops and
the curtailment of wheat and cotton
acreage. The A. A A. has gone much
further than mere argument and per-
suasion. 1t has put into effect Sys-
tenn by which the farmers are paid
bounties for turning in their planted
cotton and for failing to plant wheat
acreage. 1t has gone into the market
and bought some six and half million
pigs in an effort to maintain hog prices
and to prevent glut of the market. In
deed, the A. A. A. and the F. c. A. have
been attempting things that would have
been declared utterly radical and i'm
possible in the days when Mr.. Iegge
became chairman of the Farm Board
Mr. Legge became convinced it was
only through cooperative action by the
farmers themselves that their plight
could be remedied. II seemed clear to
him that in many respects the interests
Of the farmer and of the grain trade
and the middlemen generally were far
apart He did not hesitate to fight for
what he believed to be the interest CT
the farmer.

Middle-age fat is not as unattractive
as middle-age suspicion apd reserve.
One has to notice it in ones self first,
before one is able to notice it in others
Once spotted, however, it is quite as
outstanding as adipoSe tissue.
And, when definitely discovered, just
as uncomfortable, although the bulk of
it is transferred to the mind.
Whether physical or mental i'll ease is
the worse. each individual must decide
for himself.
This "freeze-up" of the spirit is an
altogether unlovely thing.
Consider this man, who used to be the
soul of courtesy and good humor.
He had many friends, and loved
them all.
They loved him.
Nothing pleased him more, in the
days work, than to stop for few Sec
onds' chat.
He took lunch freely with them all,
nor confined the transfer of his per-
sonality to few.

Then time began to take its toll.
The pressure of his work, his increas-
ing duties, SO he told himself, made it
impossible for him to be as free and
easy in his human relations.
Consciously and unconsciously he be-
gan to tighten up, little by little, until,
with his very few gray hairs, he began
to present perfect picture OF what we
have called here the middle-age
freeZe-up.
The candor of his early years had
been replaced by what may strike some
as futile suspicion, for what is there to
be suspicious Of?
Nothing much, of course, except hu-

PUBLIC WORKS
 LOAN APPROVED
 BY COUNC|LMEN
Mayor Authorized to Ap- ply for $l00,000 for :
 City Improvements

An application to the Public Works Administration for loan Of S100000 for necessary street and sidewalk improvements for the City of Juneau by Mayor I. Goldstein was authorized in a resolution pass ed at the meeting of the City Council last evening. This appli- cation will be made by the Mayor as soon as the necessary approval by the voters has been obtained
 Mayor Goldstein pointed out, at the meeting, that in case the loan is approved and granted, 30 per cent of the amount will be ab- sorbed by the Public Works Ad- ministration of the Federal Gov ernment and the remaining TO per cent, or 10000 loaned at a per cent rate of interest. The interest on the loan would be considerably less than the maintenance of the streets in their present condition, with the necessary grading and re- pairs required to keep them open for traffic, Mayor Goldstein de- clared.
 20 Years To Repay
 According to the policy under which money for improvements of this type is being loaned by the Public Works the city would have 20 years in which to repay the principal and would not be requir- ed to make any payments on the principal for five years.
 The following improvements, all of which are essential and must be made within the next several years, would be included in the proposed work, according to the decision of the Councilmen:

SUGGESTION OF TAX IS MENACE

Cele gate Continues Op- position to Suggested
 Tax on Seafoods
PEEK STILL KEEPS
 MATTER IN DEFIANCE
Representative Bland and Commissioner Bell Join
 Dimond in Fight

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 1. = Delegate A. J. DimOnd from Alaska yesterday re- sumed his fight against the proposed levy of a processing tax against all seafoOds, in- cluding canned salmon when he vigorously protested against such action.
 He made his protest to George w. Peek, Administra- tor of the Agricultural Ad- justment Administration at a hearing Oh the corn and hog situation.
 No Action Taken
 During the hearings recently held it was suggested that processing taxes be levied against any com modities which could be considered as competing as food with pork. Seafoods were among those men toned
 At the Farm Administration headquarters it was said numerous commodities have been mentioned but that no action was taken on any of the suggested taxes No concrete proposals were made to seafoods, it was reported.
 Delegate Dimond has been join ed in his fight for seafoods by Bland, Democrat, of Virginia The latter, commenting on the statement that no concrete. were made as to a tax on seafoods. declared even the sug- gestion of tax on them seriously menaces the seafood industry"
 Bell Says Unfair
 Frank T. Bell, United States Commissioner, leaving here for Se- e0elS Io SdtliCi ddtd lOl LII dA thl5 the 1884 fishing regulations for Alaska and to discuss the sug- 3ested processing tax, declared it to be an unfair levy. He will discuss the matter with fishermen and packers while on the Pacific Coast.
 He will meet Agent L. E. Win gard and the Fisheries Wardens in Seattle and upon their reports will De based next years regulations. He will also survey Puget Sound and Columbia River areas.
 Danger to Industry
 Chasing the suggested processing tax as unfair on it's face" MT. Bell declared there are only two basic food sources-the soil and sea. Tt would be preposterous for the sea- food producers to pay processing tax to aid their chief competitors, the soil food producers. And, al- though the Agricultural Adjust ment Administration has said that salmon were merely mentioned during the hearing on the corn and hog problem, even mentioning such a tax to aid pork warns of inn pending danger to the fishery in dustry," he said.
