FOR SEASON ON FRUIT AND
VEGETABLE SHIPMENTS

The Secretary of Agriculture an
nounced that restrictions on the
movement of fruits and vegetables
under the Japanese beetle quaran-
tine regulations were removed for
the season on Sunday, September Is.
The restrictions on cut flowers, how
ever, remain until October 15. I'm
der the quarantine regulations, GER
tificates showing freedom from Jap
anese beetles are required on ship
ments of certain kinds of fruits and
vegetables until October Is. The
effect of the order is to release the
fruits and vegetables from that re-
quirement a month earlier than is
provided in the regulations them
selves.
The inspection of fruits and vege-
tables is necessary only during the
period when the adult beetles are
abundantly present and in active
flight There is no risk that such
products will carry the Japanese
beetle after this active period.
There is still danger, however,
that the adult beetles may be trans
ported in cut flowers. In cool fall
evenings, the beetles have tenden-
cy to crawl down into the flowers
for protection. Therefore, the re-
strictions on the interstate move
ment of cut flowers and other por-
lions of plants will remain in full
force and effect until October Is, in
elusive.
Restrictions on the movement OF
nursery, ornamental, and greenhouse
stock and all other plants Except
cut flowers and portions Of plants
without roots and incapable of pro-
pagation) are in force throughout
the year and are not affected by this
amendment.

On August 28th the state of Cali
fornia produced some of the most
startling political news of the dec
ade. The voters nominated Upton
Sinclair, lifelong Socialist, for Gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket. In
addition, they nominated him by a
tremendous majority over his near
est rival, who ran as a straight New
Deal advocate, and his vote was
well in excess of that of the Repub-
1ican candidate, acting Governor
Merriam. If Mr.. Sinclair wins in
November, it will be the first time
an avowed Socialist ever reached a
high governmental position in this
country, with the single exception

thorities to do all in their power to
check accidents. But these author
tiles need help and cooperation. 1t
will therefore be the duty and obli-
cation of individuals to exercise
greater care.
Each year the proclamations have
had salutary effect on the driving
record. In 1888, it was estimated
that the month of September saw a
reduction of 200 fatalities from the
corresponding period Of the previous
year. If the work this year accom-
plishes similar result, it will be
eminently worth while.

Critics of farm cooperation have

Critics of farm cooperation have
attempted to cast discredit on the
entire movement by pointing to the
example of some obscure coop
which failed. In the past ten years
thousands of cooperatives have come
into being percentage of
those have failed. Their failure
cannot be laid to the door Of the
cooperative principle-it was due,
almost without exception, to I'M
sound management or politics which
made a big noise for time but
didn't produce results.

THE MUNITION STATES IN
CONGRESS

The Representatives from So
called munitions-making states are
quite conscious of this profitable in
dustry to some of their constituents,
it would appear from recent analy-
sis of the votes on arms in the 72nd
and 73rd Congresses. These states
are: Indiana, Michigan, Illinois,
Ohio, Delaware, New York, Mary
land, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, Massachusetts and New
Jersey.
No roll call was taken in the
House on the Vinson Big Navy Bill
| which passed in the 73rd Congress,
but there were SO votes, including
pairs, recorded in the Senate, rs
were from munition states and they
were all aye votes OF the So from
other states, AZ voted aye and 81

The vote on the arms measures in
the 72nd Congress reveals more
marked contrast.
The votes on the following bills
in the Senate were: To build up the

| Senator Gerald P. Nye's Senate
Munitions Investigating Committee,
which opened September 4, promises
to reveal, through it's Investigations,
some sensational data involving sell
fish interests.
Every citizen welcomes an airing
of what has become, it is believed,
an international munitions ring
whose operations amount to rack
ct, of which American companies
are a part. An important result of
the investigation will be the pro-
duction of facts which may determ-
inc whether or not there should be
a federal monopoly in munitions.
Two major reasons for such a mo-
nopoly are given: the enormous
profits in such industry, which the
Government must pay, and war
scares which many believe are man
ufactured out of the air to support
lobbyists in effecting so-called de-
Tense legislation.

Why All Blame
on "the Woman?
Age-Old Plant, Revived,
Is Distasteful to Real
Intelligence.

The former prime minister OF one
of the smaller European countries
recently made a spectacular public
announcement In which he blamed
all the country's ills on a woman.
And of ills there are many-as In
how many other European countries
todayl Unemployment, poor harvests,
political unrest-all the evils Of
these hard times the ex-premler emu
merated, and then-blamed them on
one womanl
The woman has for years been
known throughout the world as the
mistress Of the king, who long ago
gave up his crown and his loveless
marriage to live with her in exile
and secluslon. A few years ago he
was restored to his throne, and 1t
developed that their separation was
less permanent than the kings sup
porters had hoped IL would be. She
is back In the country, again the
kings close companion. And now
all the nations troubles, from the
fall of thirteen cabinets down to
everything but drouth, is laid at her
door.
"As long as Nine. - remains
In the country" says the former
prime minister, nobody will be able
to accomplish anything. She is re-
sponsible for all our evils. i suggest
we should hold party meetings all
over our country to clear up this
scandal"
Far be IL from this column to hold
any brief for the kings mistress.
Whatever her real nature, or the cir
cumstances that brought her into the
picture, her existence must be dis.
tasteful to us. But in throwing upon
this woman the blame for all the ills
affecting nation there is something
no less distasteful to our intelligence,
unless it happens to strike first our
sense Of humor. q ID
How easy It is always to blame
things on 1.-THE woman in the caseT
Women, especially the woman In
the case" can cause good deal OF
trouble. But If we look deep enough
into these cases where everything
Is heaped upon a woman, we Will
usually find some man who is not
entirely blameless. Not minimizing
the devastating powers Of many Of
our sex, 1t must be pointed out that
most men know very well what they
want, and very few allow themselves
to be used by a woman. To blame
the ills of nation on a woman, In
this day and age, will strike most Of
us as Just bit funny.

to be any more film made, that they
had ran out of the stuff they made
it out of. Well they lived through
it, and are just doing fine, and its all
forgotten about. But they sure did
take it serious for awhile. Then
right about the time they could go to

come the scare of Sinclair being
