QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Slipnery Elm

For any one who has swallowed any
foreign body. Get two ounces of pull
verified slippery elm bark at the drug
store. Mix half teaspoonful with

Answer Thank you. It is an ex-
cellent suggestion. Also let the per-
son who has swallowed foreign body
have NO cathartic, lots Of bananas
to eat, and large bowl Of chopped
greens and fodder vegetables raw or
cooked every day. If a child will eat
handful Of absorbent cotton or cot

other food, that is a valuable aid, the

Another Myth Goes
IN. Y. World Telegram

The pretty myth that holding COM
panies and interlocking directorates
bring about efficiency and economy in
public utilities was rather badly dam
aged by the Federal Trade Commits
sions investigation OF the subject, and
now comes q report that blows it
away like SO much yapor.
The report is by Walter w. M.
Splawn, who prepared it for the House
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee.
Although It contains no conclusions
or recommendations, its facts speak
SO loudly that nothing else IS needed.
The report shows In graphic form
the Mtr tcate way In which compan-
les are piled on companies until In
one case the ultimate owners are
eleven companies removed from the
properties which yield the income to
support the towering structure. It
doesn't sound like economy.

Constructive Criticism

With General Johnson's large and
grisly exhibition of dead cats on dis
play in Washington as the result Of
his own invitation, it is well to note
that one Of the major victories look
ing to the reform of the NRA was
won by one Of our own statesmen.
Senator Gerald P. Nye.
Whether or not Senator Nye proved
his claims that the NRA has tended
to aid the big business man rather
than the little one, the public can
not yet say. But the indication that
he did Is contained in the appoint
ment OF the MIRA appeal advisory
board to review the complaints Of
which Senator Nye received thou
sands In the few weeks after it be-
came known that he was interested
in the matter.
There has been chiseling Of the
MIRA. OF that there can be no doubt.
Some Of it has gone on In our own
community and elsewhere IN North
Dakota. That this Is 50 may be dif-
ficult to prove. but 1t would be

The ways of q statesman some
times are q trifle hard to figure out.
Austria's Chancellor Dollfuss seems
to be the latest to contribute q rid

Trying to patch up the wounds
which he helped to inflict on his

And, he added. I'VE must do all we

Rival Dairying Interests

Proof that agriculture's interests
frequently are SO diverse as to be
antagonistic is demonstrated by the
current arguments over milk-control
systems now going forward In Wash
ington. The producers, the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration,
congress and the consumer all are
embroiled in 1t.
The agricultural department has
taken the view that the primary con-
sideration in establishing a milk
control system is the production of
butterfat. Producers in the big
milk sheds are bitterly opposed to
the idea. They contend that the price
situation should be based entirely on
the interests of the men who pro-
duce and market fluid milk.
To get a clear view Of the dispute.
It is necessary, first of all, to under
stand what milk shed Is. As used
In the current discussion, the term
applies to those areas surrounding
large cities wherein are produced the
milk which is sold in the fluid state
in those markets. The milk-shed
producer is interested in the price of
milk sold in it's natural or pasteurized
state for delivery in bottles on the
consumers doorstep.
Opposed to their interests are those
Of thousands of other farmers who
have no outlet for milk in the fluid
state. These are the ones who sepa-
rate their milk, feed the skinned
portions to the hogs and market the
cream in the form of butterfat at the
nearest creamery or marketing center.
La the latter class are the vast
majority Of dairymen In this state
ind those in Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin whose milk goes into the manu.
facture of butter. cheese and related
products.
North Dakota's milk sheds are few
and insignificant. Our larger cities
may be said each to have one, but
these amount to nothing when COM
pared with butterfat milk production.
Minnesota has a milk shed for the
twin cities, but 1t Is insignificant
when compared with the volume
produced in the districts which sup
ply milk to its hundreds Of coopera-
tive, chain and priyately-owned
cteameries.
Generally speaking, the biggest
diaries are In the milk shed districts
and dairyn1en In those regions are
better organized than Is the case
elsewhere. Nevertheless, the inter-
ests Of the butterfat farmer are more
widespread and, in the aggregate,
more important than those Of the
milk shed farmer.
This IS the view which Secretary
Wallace has taken and the nub Of
the price-control controversy. It Is
q stand which deserves the whole
hearted support OF the average North
Dakota farmer.

Sugar ID Hottest Issue In Washing-

House 70 Undesstand ). Norris
Seeks Revolution In State Govern
ment.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
Tribune Warrington Correspondent
washington, March 2.-The hot
test potato In Washington right now
is the sugar issue.
Is the administration sugar pro-
duction control bill an entering wedge
both toward elimination Of uneco-
nomic, expensive, tariff.protected in
dustries and the control Of industry
and It's profits?
That's q big bite, but many whis-
perS from the inside answer "yes"
on both counts. Lobbyists for do
nestle sugar interests have sent 4
ralying cry to other tariff bene-
ficiaries, urging them to Join In de-
tense against q common peril.
The bill itself IS innocent enough.
It would stabilize the industry by do
nestle and import quotas, restore
beet and cane growers to pre-war
parity price.
Consumers would be protected, be-
cause refiners wouldn't be allowed q
greater profit spread.
But Roosevelt's skeptical attitude
toward what Secretary Wallace calls
'hothouse industries compiled e S
the picture and the whole applicant
was at least threatened with upset
when A. ]. 8. Weaver, head Of AAA's
sugar section, made indiscreet and
unauthorized assertions at House
hearings.
He explained the bill well, but let
himself be drawn into virtual asser-
tons that the administration wanted
to get rid Of the $50, 900 600 domestic
industry. which costs consumers
