L. a. Favorable
To Valley Milk

That Los Angeles desires Imper-
ial Valleys fresh milk, even if other
coastal communities do not, is evi-
| denced in communication re-
ceived by Supervisor Hugh T. -Os-
borne, who, with directors of the
Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce,
Walter Macdonald, milk inspector,
and DR.. Fox, health officer, have
been carrying on campaign to
open coast markets to Imperial
Valley milk.
The letter, which is from Harold
w. Wright, domestic trade commits
sioner of the Los Angeles Chamber
of Commerce, states LOS Angeles
interests have been closely allied
with those of Imperial Valley for
many years, chiefly by virtue of the
fact that Los Angeles county is to-
day taking all the livestock and
most of the alfalfa hay grown
there. 1t is now possible that our
mutual interests might likewise be
served by common action on your
present milk marketing problem.
I hope to be able to discuss the
matter with you in the near fu-
ture."
In communication received
from the domestic trade depart
ment of the Los Angeles Chamber
of Commerce by Manager Hays OF
the Ell Centre Chamber, it is point
ed out that purchases of Imperial
Valley products in the last year
were three times greater than ever
before and that undoubtedly Inn
prial Valleys purchases in the Los
Angeles market showed correspond
ing increases.

is the most neglected thing in every
store in America, barring none,' .
and that 1888 should see sales
people taught to increase the aver
age sale, sell better merchandise
intelligently, and to sell more goods
to each customer. That seems a
sensible thought, providing the pub

 By merry joke of the calendar, the sos of the last century anything but the dying years of a century gone gray. They youthful, they were romantic, they a beginning and it was highly appropriate that young London barrister should in 1894 sit down to pen classic tale of faraway romance. There was the additional fact about "The Prisoner of zenda" that, dealing in remote and imaginary figures and settings, 1t none the less htched it's romance to everyday young Engshman who stumbled into Rurtania as might any one else. Here escape, indeed. Any reader could put himself in Rudolf Rassendyll'S place and share his adventures-thanks in small part, to the delightful realism with which the witty MT. Hawkins told his tale skillful, perfect book, if there ever one deserving all the popularity and praise which have befallen it.
 These lean years in literature. de- cade which saw Stevenson Kipling and Hardy work ing their hardest needs apologies. If it not consciously great period in history, great events were unmstakably brewing. The Kaiser was in- sisting upon great navy; this country passing through the settlements of adolescence into world affairs.

If wars must be, there cannot be too many such roads of escape, winding happily amid green forests to the enchanted castles of perfect lovers-perhaps the only true reality after all

THE HOG PROBLEM.

American hog farmers beset with an excess production problem because of a contraction in their export outlet, just wheat growers and cotton farmers Where the American hog farmer averaged 20 foreign customers for pork in the l926-29 period he had only eight left in 1892. And where he had 40 foreign customers for lard during this same depression period, he had less than 30 in 1882
 The shrnkage in exports during the past year alone was equivalent by weight to approximately half million market-weight hogs. reports the United States Department of Agriculture. And the difference between exports last year and record peace-tme exports in 1923 before European agr- culture began to substantially from the war; is equivalent to about 8,000000 hogs To put it another way, the decrease in annual exports since 1923 is equivalent to hog out of every six hogs in the Corn Belt farm feed lots this year.

Advice to Women.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 The First Lady of the Land offers some advice to women. Mrs Roosevelt consciously may not re- gard herself as an adrot politician, but she seems to possess the keen sense of political adroitness which has marked her distinguished husband Per- haps he caught" something of his genius in this respect from the wife of his bosom
 Be that as it may, in advising women to equip themselves mentally, in order to participate in the activities of the national life and to become gen. erally informed respecting all the important prob lens and issues of unprecedented time, Mrs. Roosevelt suggests that while there may be no royal road to learning, the daily paper is the rapid road to information" And, she says, "the American woman should be on her toes to know what is happening today"
 good way to be top hole she says "is the daily reading of the daily paper" and she tickles the hard-working editors of the land to chvalrous pink by saying never miss the editorials Too many women never look at an editorial"
 Hark well, all you ladies remiss in this respect. One can imagine the average knight of paste pot and shears, of industry and ntellectuaty who spends his life instructing nations and humans in their duties and conduct pulling down his vest and fact that at least important female of the species has seen the light, knows her onions, and has the courage to tell her sisters throughout the nation what is what.

in Montana, Utah. Washington, and California in the West. These numerous local concentrations of ducks and geese might easily give the impression that the birds generally more abundant than actually the case.
 While ducks and geese a whole in somewhat better condition than last year. increased numbers are confined largely to few species which for the most part have extensive breeding ranges. Among these the mallard, pintail black duck, badpate, Canada goose, and the blue goose are most in evidence. Ducks with more restricted breeding territories including the blue-winged teal
 lesser scaup bufflehead, gadwall shoveller canvas back, redhead, and the ruddy duck are in many localities fewer than during the previous season. In other localities they are just about holding their own and where they do show slight increase they are still in state so precarious that an un- favorable nesting, matching, rearing season or combination of other unfavorable circumstances, might easily lead to disaster. Possibilities of such unfavorable conditions are indicated by reports of excessive temperatures and low rainfall during Juno in the northern part of the Great Plains region of the United States and adjoining southern parts of the Prairie Provinces of Canada

I met were in a mood which might
 be described as one of anxious fas- cination, not unlike that in which
 they might watch some one cross ing chasm on a tight rope. On the whole, they seemed to agree that the chasm had to be crossed and that our tight rope was the only way there was to cross it
 quickly. They desperately hope we shall cross, not because they are excessively benevolent but be- cause they do not wish to feel the effects of a bad accident.
 q. .-4g;-- r-e Because of. their intense preoccu- patton with our experiment they are not really any more ready than we are to discuss questions which cannot be settled intelligent ly until the result is known. That is why the conference was stalled from the day it assembled. In the mean time they are intensely in- terested in the quality of the men who are advising the President and executing his policies. Some few philosophers here and there pro- tested that this interest in men and specific measures was mis- understanding of what was hap pening; their view is that thus far the President has not really used
 any of his gigantic powers, that he is not initiating, that he is not managing the currency, that he is not running a planned economy, but that all he has done is to kick
 the natural forces of capitalistic
 recuperation and speculation of dead center by making people feel differently. But apart from these amiabla cynics, one finds general Ily, I think, profound conviction that we are committed to a pro gram which requires administrative genius to make it successful. And so every one who is supposed to know what is going on in Washing ton is eagerly cross-examined about the Cabinet and the brain trust
 and the administrators and co-or- dinators.
 Since there is no way of demon strating what the outcome will be,
 these discussions are necessarily inconclusive. Generally they end with the American wishing he were back home in the thick of it, for win, lose or draw, he would not for the world miss so great an ad-
 venture, while the European, whc
 has read a lot about human en-
 thusiasms, shakes his head anc says that he supposes there is noth-
 ing for him to do but to wait and see.

NO EXTENSION OF WILD BIRD
 SEASON.

That there will be relaxation of restrictions on hunting seasons and bag limits for migratory wild fowl in the immediate future seems to be indicated by a recent statement issued by the United States Biological Survey This authority, after studying reports from all over the United States and Canada, declares that any increase re- ported in the number of wild fowl are wholly local and without significance in the general situation
 In the opinion of the bureaus experts many species of ducks are at seriously low ebb, though the status of wild fowl may be on the whole some what better than it two years ago when the first curailed and bag limits reduced.
 Continuing the finding program of the past several years with regard to the status of water fowl in the United States and Canada the Biological Survey made extended field investigations during the fall and winter of 1892, and the spring and early summer of 1883.
 During the seasons 1881 and 1892 waterfowl had reached the lowest point record, through cu- imitation of unfavorabe conditions including serious and long continued droughts in many of the most important northwestern breeding This made 1t necessary to restrict the hunting saeson to a single month in 1881. and to two months in 1882. Many species are still at seriously low ebb but the status of waterfowl on the whole is slightly better than in 1881. This is due to some increase in snow and rainfall consequent improvement in the food supply and to saving the breeding stock by reducing the XIII curing the last two seasons. InlS State- ment it should be emphasized, is based upon comparison of the present with 1881, the poorest season that we have ever experienced.
 Some areas normally favorable for waterfowl have shown good concentrations of birds. Others have been less satisfactory. The most important concentrations during the winter and late autumn of the 1932-33 season taking all kinds of waterfowl into consideration. took place in western Lake Erie in Central and Southern Illinois in Louisiana in Texas on Mattamuskeet Lake, N. o. in South Carolina and on Chesapeake Bay, in the East; and

UP TO BUSINESS ITSELF.

The viewpoint of the Administration on planned industry was recently put into few terse sen tences by Donald Richbourg General Counsel for the National Recovery Administration. They ought to be read and thoughtfuly considered by all busi- ness men. Addressing the Merchant Association of New York, he declared:
 There is no choice presented to Ameri-
 can business between inteligently planned
 and controlled industrial operations and
 return to the gold plated anarchy that
 masked as rugged indvidualism." There is
 only the choice presented between private
 and public election of the direction of
 industry.
 If the privately board of directors
 and the privately chosen managers of in
 responsibility, they will end all talk of
 Relationships and government control of
 business But if they hold back and waste
 these precious hours if they take counsel with prejudice and doubt, if they tumble their great opportunity, they may find it has gone forever.
 That statement briefly represents the view of relation to business. It doesn't want to control it dictate to it. It hopes sincerely that business will get together and chart a under the National Recovery Act that will put back to work every American who wants job and at wages high enough to insure a comfortable living. Il business doesn't do it, the Government a last resort will chart such a for it.

Today and Tomorro,U
By WALTER LIPPMANN


During the voyage home I have been trying to sort out and ar range the many different views and impressions which gathered in Europe. A great conference is not unlike a first night on Broad way not infrequently the audience is more interesting that the play, and what is said in the Hobbies is more to the point than what is said on the stage. Certainly that was true in London. It was ob- vious from the start that the auth ors had provided a plot that not even they found very interesting, and as for the actors, it was only too painfully evident that they had never had a full-dress rehearsal
 Yet there were collected in Lon don a very large number of emi- nent men, and in the long inter vals while they waited for the com mittee on committees to choose the subcommittee to which the lat est proposal to form a committee was to be referred, there was a large amount of honest and pene- trating discussion of the real ques- tions which troubled mankind. It is in this exchange of ideas, though they have produced no immediate practical result, that there is a certain compensation for the time and energy and money spent on
 bringing the conference together From listening to conversations here and there my most definite Impression is of the intensity with
 which responsible men from all quarters of the globe are watch | ing the course of events in the United States. Their interest is
 comparable only with that which
 for years has centered on the Rus sian experiment. Yet 1t is of diff
 ferent sort What has been hap pening in Russia has touched the greater part of the world through it's mind and its emotions. The American experiment touches it immediately and vitally in its or
 dinary affairs. This direct i'm pact of American events, due to the immense weight of the Ameri- can economic system, has made these events the central fact in
 contemporary history. Rightly or wrongly men feel that their own destinies are bound up with our success or failure.
 One can find in all countries men who are enthusiastic for the Roosevelt policies, and also, of
 course, men who are absolutely certail that they must fail. But by far the largest number of men r. Copyright, 1883, Ne
