THE OLD SLEIGH
 CAME IN HANDY
Milk, Bread, and General Provision Concerns Had
 to Deliver Goods

Horses and sleighs were pressed into service to-day by various milk, bread and general provision com panies in an effort to augment their crippled motor equipment so that the people of the city might be served. Throughout yesterday homes were deprived of the neces- sary commodities and children suffered from the lack of milk and so forth, due to the closed roads brought about by the blizzard.
 To-day, as the various main streets were opened, delivery ser vice was extended. However, early this afternoon hundreds of homes had yet to receive milk or other such necessities. Stores throughout the city opened this with depleted supplies due to the fact that trucks serving them with merchandise were un- able to "get through" yesterday.

SUPREME TEST SEEN
FOR U. S. DEMOCRACY
President Frank Tells Wisconsin
Graduates Hopelessness
of Alternatives.

MADISON, Wis, June 18-Upor
Americas success in solving the eco
nomic problem depends the destiny
of Democracy on this continent
President Glenn Frank of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin said in bacca-
laureate sermon delivered to the 1884
graduating class yesterday.
Dr. Frank expressed fear for the
survival of Democracy and told the
graduates that mo price you can pay
to prevent this lend of Democracy
will be too high"
The address was broadcast over q
nationwide network.
He placed before the graduates four
ALTERNATIVES between reality and
illusion, alternatives in which the
survival and the significance OF
American life and enterprise alike
are involved" They were:
Are we to strengthen Democracy
or surrender to dictatorship?
Are we to pursue our enterprise In
freedom or under regimentation?
Are We to establish control of this
age of plenty or execute return to
an age Of scarcity?
Are we to walk the ways of real
1stic internationalism or go in for
the economic monasticism of an age
OF nationaliStS?
A complete thawing out of the
fountains of enterprise, which he said
were more or less frozen for the last
five years, is necessary to prevent
self-government from being placed
in definite jeopardy he said.
If recovery comes too slowly, if the
basic enterprise of the Nation is slug
gish when Federal subsidy begins to
dry up at it's source" If the old order
follows a transient recovery, popular
satisfaction will be shortlived and
Democracy's Judgment day will be
but postponed" he contended.

solution can be solved wisely only by
men who are lacking in expert knowl-

Not only to a greater, rather than
