IS IT @DUMPING.?

Others say that Jones plan is nothing more than dumping. :" Some would have the Government meet the cost of dumping excess goods. Others would fix definite prices on farm products sold with in this country. letting the surplus seek market abroad at whatever price it would bring. Still others advise removing all controls and letting American agriculture con- pete with that of the world for markets as it did from 1880 to 1883.
 The position of Secretary Wal lace on the question is clear. He would continue the domestic allot- ment plan now in effect. The do- mestic allotment plan is designed to adjust farm production to the potential market.
 Wallace believes that any scheme which would fix one price for the United States and another price

EXPECTED IN CONGRESS ON
 ACRIC. POLICIES
One Princip al Issue Is Singled Out by Sec
 retary Wallace
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-A stiff fight is in prospect in the 74th Congress over the future of the nations agricultural policy.
 All sorts of ideas are being ad- vanced, but the principal issue can be singled out. It was expressed by Secretary Wallace in the following manner:
 Should farmers continue to hold down production in order to hold up prices and be financed in that policy by processing taxes paid by the consuming public?
 Or, should farmers be told that the sky is the limit in production, with any goods that cannot be sold within the country to be exported?
 What to do with the surplus di- vides the advocates of unlimited production.
 Marvin Jones of Texas, Chair man of the Agricultural Committee of the House, would use processing tax funds to finance the sale of surplus products. abroad.

Material Employed for
Nations Shoe Supply

There are approximately 100000
600 pairs of shoes manufactured an
nually in the United States. Women
get over 1OO,OOO,OOO pairs of them ;
men about 100000 pairs; boys and
youths, 100000 pairs, and misses
and children over 100000 pairs.
So that it is evident that the answer
to "who wears shoes" shows that
mothers and matrons get their full
share of this merchandise. Few per-
sons ever stop to think that the
leather of modern shoe was once a
hide on the back of cow, or a steer
that roamed the ranges of Texas, or
possibly Argentina; and that the
nails, eyelets, lace tips, counter and
the heel plate, were once iron ore in
mine of northern Michigan; while
the ''spiffy" buckles and heel cover
ings were made in practically the
same manner that guncotton is pro-
duced. With slight chemical changes,
the manufacturers are able to turn
this near-explosive into beautiful
pyralin, and use it as it is in vogue
today for ornamenting the shoes that
women and children are wearing.
Folk are stepping out nowadays, but
there aren't many of them who stop
to realize the stress Of human brain
power that has been devoted to the
production of modern pair of shoes.

Lightning Dangers

1t is no more dangerous to be near
a church steeple than elsewhere
when lightning is flashing. Steeples
are hit frequently but they are usu-
ally protected by metal roofs ade-
quately grounded.
If driving a car when a lightning
storm breaks, seek shelter. One is
usually safe in a steel body car, but
other factors make driving hazard
Gus.
There is no reason for the prac-
tice of keeping cows out of a barn
during lightning storm. The belief
that their warm bodies attract light
ming is based on superstition. Warm
bodies have no greater attraction for
electricity than cold bodies.
The belief that If cows are MIXED
during thunderstorm the milk will
turn sour is also without foundation.
Souring of milk is caused by a speci-
fic bacteria, the growth of which is
fostered by warmth. If lightning
were responsible for the souring of
milk, it would be as likely to take
place inside the cow as outside.

Stomach upsets and bowel troubles
of grouping children can often be traced
to this single mistake.
There is better way to relieve
those occasional sluggish spells or
constipation in a child of any age:
Use a liquid laxative containing
SIENNA "a natural laxative). California
Syrup of Figs has the right amount
for children'S use, and this rich, fruity
syrup does not harm or upset a child's
system.
Doctors advise liquid laxatives,
and hospitals use the liquid form.
Almost any child who has been
convalescing in the hospital usually
comes out with bowels working like
a well-regulated watch.
Make the change now to pure,
California Syrup of Figs instead Of
harsh medicines, you won't risk any
more violence to your child's appetite,
digestion, and general physical condi-
ton. Those little upsets and COM
plants just disappear as rule and
the child is soon normal and happy
again.
THE LIQUID TEST" First:
select liquid laxative Of the proper
strength for children. Second: give
the dose suited to the child's age.
Third: reduce the dose, if repeated.
until the bowels are moving without
any help at all.
An ideal laxative for this purpose
is the pure California Syrup of Figs,
but be sure the word California"
is on the bottle.

cATHEDRALs "HARD UP"

Seven of Great Britain's famous
cathedrals have been put ION the
DOLE" according to the latest report
of the cathedral commissioners for
England. The cathedrals, which are
visited annually by thousands of
Americans and others, were yerging
on bankruptcy when the church as
sembly voted to appropriate $4,000
year for ten years to save them.
The seven cathedrals hardest hit
are Carlisle, Chichester. Lichfield,
Peterborough, Ripon, Salisbury, and
Wells, none of which is less than six
hundred years old. The precarious
financial condition is attributed MAIN
ly to the agricultural depression.
Most cathedrals depend in the main
on the lands they own for their in
come. The Withholding Of the tithes
due them has also had a serious ef-

In the season of renewing fall

To dye fabrics an even shade is
not matter to be dismissed lightly,
if the goods are to bear the close

to distribute the color, can be sue

but it is not bad rule to follow,
with all dyes, that material dyes bet

blankets, Is recommended. A wood

Excellent instructions are to be
found on the packages of dyes, but
there are others, more personal which
come only from the experienced.
