Morrissey, pastor of St. Mary's church at the cere- monies marking the formal opening of the new hall of St. Georges s Lithuanian society Saturday night at Linden park. More than 500 per- sons attended, including visitors from Waterbury, Bridgeport and Hartford.
 Local Lithlanians are living up to the slogan that "The spirit of Nau. gatuck is the spirit of progress, :" Father Morrissey said. They are showing this by the erection Of the new structure. He declared the Lithuanians in Europe have always been persecuted by two countries, Russia and Germany, which ne characterized as "a disgrace to the world" He adde dthe new building is one of many symbols of the dark days of depression are over.

there are still other ways he can get
q few customers. One way Is for him
to 60 into q huddle with other trades
men Of his own ilk and do business
under the name Of "clinic," "associ-
ation," institute" "sanitarium" or
hospital" The ragtag and the
riffraff are generally susceptible to
imposing names and pretentious airs.
They think that II the doctor has
. vanload Of Goldbergian gadgets

flee he must be quite a specialist.
Hence one OF the hallmarks Of
quackery IS the ostentatious exhibit
Of machinery calculated to impress
the prospective sucker.
Another way the incompetent, un-
successful doctor m " attract some
business Is by investing in time on
the radio and hammering away at the
listeners day by day. telling them all
about the wonderful methods and the
thoro examinations his institution
offers. There are many quacks do
ing q fine business with the sucker
thruout the country by
this means. Quacks who couldn't

to buy time on the air to keep the

His friends had reason to be proud
Of him. also, as he sat In the witness
chair before the supreme court and
answered questions, some Of them
adverse to his interests. He answered
them fairly, honestly and without

been different but he scorned to tell
anything less or anything more than
tho truth.
It was clear, when Judge w. l..

The Lower 10

Examination by state and federal
inspectors has disclosed that much
OF the cream being marketed in North
Dakota is unfit for human consump-
ton, according to recent news an
nouncement by c. s. Ladd. state food
commissioner. In some communities
the amount OF such cream runs to
10 per cent Of the total offered for
sale.
The result Of this, according to
Ladd, is to reduce the quality of but
ter manufactured here and hence to
reduce the price. Another obvious
effect Is to penali7e the 80 per cent
who market good cream because OF
the laxity Of the 10 per cent who do
not.
Inspectors for tho state and ma
tional government recently have con-
demned many cans Of cream on the
ground that they were unfit for use
a. human food, but 1t Is obvious that
they cannot catch even q large frac-
ton Of those who are violating the
standards prescribed In present laws.
The answer to this situation, as
prescribed by dairymen throughout
the country, is to establish q stand
ard marketing system whereby the
man with quality cream will get q
premium for 1t. A standard law has
been devised which provides three
grades Of saleable cream, ranging
through sweet cream. grade sour
cream and grade sour cream to un-
lawful or reject cream. Only the
first three grades could be marketed
under the proposed law.
The essential part Of the law is that
1t requires . price differential between
the various saleable grades Of not less
than one cent per pound Of butterfat,
the idea being to offer an inducement
for the marketing OF high-quality
product.
Copies OF the proposed law have
been circulated to creamerymen and
they are expected to support the
measure in this state since they get
greater price differential for quality
butter than would be given the
farmer for quality cream.
The justice Of such q law is appar-
ent. The lower 10 per cent of our
cream producers should not be per-
mitted to reduce the profits Of the
upper 90 and the farmer who takes
special pains should be rewarded for
them.
