AAA ATTEMPTS TO LEAVE ITS BABY
ON DOORSTEP OF NEXT CONGRESS

10 months of experience with these
special crops, we recommend to Con
grcss strengthening the marketing
agreement provisions, providing for
specific laws to back up the marketing
agreements, in order that we make out
the way for the potato grower. Pota-
toes are, perhaps, our largest crop, yet
we have not been able to produce such
a plan.
con the potato problem the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration has
no plan to sell What we want to do is
to match our plan with yours and on
whatever program the growers and the
members of Congress may develop,
and if the men who are we'll acquainted
with the problems of this industry in
the administration can agree, then we
want to go ahead and give the best
that we can to make that plan success
full"
The degree of close cooperation be-
tween the AAA and Representative
Warren in writing the potato control
law, which the AAA now says it does
not like, was set forth at the recent
potato conference by Representative
Warren himself. At that conference he
openly charged the AAA with duplic-
ity, stating that it had cooperated
closely with him in formulating an
even phrasing of the potato control
act.

that little school, like the horse and
buggy, has gone completely out OF
date in these days When leaning en-
the government has become the king
Of outdoor and indoor sports. But it
is yet to be proved that its teaching
of fundamentals was not better than
much Of the complex Constitutions"
of today.
This may sound unduly pessimistic
Have we at last come to the edge OF
the precipice so far at national prog
ress is concerned? By no means. All
over this country there are millions Of
people who still believe in thrift, in
industry, in individualism, and in a
government for the people but not
nurse maid for the entire populace
These millions do not make much noise
because they are too busy making a
living and raising money to pay taxes
to keep those who do spend their time
making noise. Some of these days
they will reassert themselves and
things will be different The little red
school house may be dead but, thank
Providence, it's soul goes marching on.
No sort of RECOMMENDATION or state
guardianship can stop this. If it does
stop, things will be just too bad for

As they stand now the revised plans would call for selling

The ehetic angle Of the Commissioners proposal will have

It has been obvious for that this city Of half million

Tracing Utility Funds

Also the Commission wants to- know how the local

This method of accounting is what largely determines the

The only surprising thing about the action of the Com

can imagine. Such ships would
be propelled by unthinkably
powerful jets, as is the familiar
sky rocket.
This method requires no air,

shoot the ship off the surface

where it would careen like a
meteorite or shooting star. BY
changing the direction of the
jet, as the rudder of a boat is
turned, the ship might lend
itself to steering.
After getting out beyond our
atmosphere, there would be no
further air resistance. If the
power were shut off, the ship
would become a satellite of
earth, revolving in an orbit,

Does a woman-in spite of

her grandmother enjoyed? Is
she as sure of love and respect
and security in her old age?
Does any m cd dern-man,
woman or child-get as much
out of life as the Old Fo.xS did
as much pride in his own
achievement-as much delight
in natural beauty-as much
friendly association with other
people-as much peace or con-
tentment?
Or are We all so worried,
so shell-shocked by floods Of
impressions from the cradle on

feel anything? We go more
places, see more things in one
week than our fathers did in
years. But how much Of all
that we see goes deep; stays
with US?
Life lasts longer. Science has
conquered many forms Of
death. Yes-but has science
added to the JOY of living?
Have we less strain? More
rapture? More freedom?
"You can't deny, though,
that people are kinder" some
one will say. Think of the
horrible massacres in the days
of Rome-the awful cruelties
of the Roman arena. Think
of men hanging in chains in
England, hardly a hundred
years ago-of little children de-
ported to Australia in the
black, poisonous holds of con-

PASSING IT ON

tenary, little attention will be
paid during May to the fact
that the venerable Bede died
in May, 735. The state of
limitations will take care of
that. In the first place, it is
doubtful if there ever was such
a year as 735, to say nothing
of a man called "The Vener-
able Bede."
Swinging along through June

we recognize are those Of Will

up September pretty well, with
