green leaves and stems Of plants

there is a yellow pigment known as

the carotene is turned in the animal

shown that they are good food for
cattle. We are told that Calyalcade,

the yellow pigment which is turned

But why, you ask. is vitamin A im

being able to secure it from both
vegetable and animal foods?
Because we are assured of suf-

1.-THE humblest man in this way
can make his influence count for
good"
In that statement, MIR. Poe has
caught the spirit that underlies
farm cooperative organizations.
They are, primarily. dealers in agri-
cultural products. They are likewise
great educational agencies. They
disseminate knowledge. They cause
farmers to think and ponder the
problems of the hour. They are not
satisfied with having problems sett-
led by outside agencies-they know
that, in the long view. real farm pro-
gress must come from the farmer

ceasing work designed 70 forward

LENIENCY

Every time leniency is shown to a
law violator, more are encouraged
to follow in his footsteps. Too many
officers are too timid to do their
duty. You would think by the weak
kneed actions of some officials when
administering fines and punishment
to criminals, that they were a party
to the offense committed. Lord, give
those who administer punishment
to law violatOrs the courage to do
their duty! Cracking down on the
offenders of the law is the only sure
method of discouraging crime.-Tri-
bune, Albert Lea, Minn.

COURT BUILDING
RECOMMENDED

AS a part of a voluminous an
nual report submitted to the Com
missioners today by Corporation
Counsel Prettyman, the recon-
mendation is made that the Com
missioners press for enactment of
authority for the construction of
the courts building of the pro-
posed Municipal Center.
The recommendation was limit
ed merely to that statement, but
the text of the report shows that
the courts and the legal end of
the District government require
greater court room facilities.
Other recommendations made
briefly by Mr.. Prettyman include
the hope that the Commissioners
will ask for legislation enlarging
and clarifying their administra-
tive powers; a small loan act for
the District; laws placing fl
nancial responsibility in the mat
ter of taxicab companies; revision
of appellate procedure in public
utility matter, and revision of
lunacy proceedings.

D.C.HEADS SCAN
MILK COST

In an effort to reduce the price
of milk, the District Commits
sionerS today met with Frederic c.
Howe, of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, to work out
a scheme whereby the local sur
plus of milk would be sold cheaply
to the emergency relief unit,
which will distribute it to the
10000 people on relief rolls in the
District of Columbia.
Those present at the conference
today believed that using up the
surplus in this way will accom-
plish two things; namely more
and cheaper milk to the poor and
a cheaper distribution of milk to
regular customers.
It was pointed out at the con-
ference that, while the farmer is
not getting enough for his milk,
the distribution costs a great deal
and increases the price to the
retail consumer. Consequently,
in the plan which will probably
be announced today, the Com
missioners hope to reduce the cost
of distribution.
Present at the conference today
was ElWood Seal, assistant cor
poration counsel, who advocated
making milk public utility. This
would require an act of Congress
and the Commissioners today ap-
peared to be unwilling to go
that far.

Smith Co. Assets
Sought of Court

Seeking to satisfy a Judgment
of $3,459 plus interest obtained
against the F.. H. Smith Company
last May, H. K. Taylor, 400 block
P St. N. w., today requested the
District Supreme Court to take
over the local assets of the ccr-
poration.
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue
awarded the Judgment as the re-
suit of a sale of fraudulent bonds
by the company to Mr.. Taylor.
Through Attorneys Robert H. Nc
Neill and T. S. Settle, the plaintiff
states that he has tried in vain
to collect the judgment from the
company. He also asks that the
court grant an injunction re-
straining the filling of all suits,
except priority claims, against the
receivers.

Federal Case Closed
Two special assistants to Attor-
ney General Homer S. Cummings,
G. A. 1verson and Henry H. Glas-
sic, representing the Federal gov.
ernment, concluded their case in
a brief half-hour argument by
presenting briefs and maps of the
disputed territory.
Before ADJOURNMENT the COM
mission called upon attorneys for
the commonwealth to be prepared
to present their case by Septem-
Der 26. The commission an.
nounced that private property
owners would be given an oppor-
tunity to present claims after the
Commonwealth closes.
Contained in the statement filed
by the Federal attorneys was an
outline Of three previous reviews
OF the case IN which the Supreme
Court held that the boundary
should remain at the high water
mark of 1891.
River Shifts Shown
The maps were prepared to
show how changes in the course
OF the Potomac River had altered
the Shoreline, and thus the boun-
cary. The area surrounding the
Observation-Disclosures airport is the
principal point of dispute.
The Commission, composed of
Charles H. Brough, William C.
Cloth and Malcolm S. McConihie,
was set up by an act of Congress
at its last session to definitely
settle the long drawn out dis
pute.
Copies of the map will be

the convenience of private
property owners. Mr.. Iverson an
