The usual midsummer let up in
shipments during the time Of greater
dependence on local supplies began
in mid-July, and usually lasts
through the greater part Of August.
Largest decreases In late July were
for melons, cucumbers and tomatoes.
Lettuce and citrus fruits increased
following recent good demand and
rising prices. Peaches and canta-
lOupes continue active although
Georgia peach season is passing its
height. Apple shipments are rather
light but nearby receipts OF early
varieties are abundant and selling
at low prices. Potato shipments in
creased with the ending Of efforts
at limiting price and movement in
some Eastern producing sections,
and the beginning Of the market sea-
son in districts farther north.
The large markets reported fairly
active trade in many kinds OF fruits
and vegetables popular during the
summer, but other lines are slow
and duh in the cities during the va
cation season. Most price changes
were downward, especially for pota-
toes and western lettuce under in
creasing shipments. Melons advanced
sharply in response to shipment
control in southern producing sec
tions. Prices of onions were fairly
steady. Tomato markets we're very
irregular. Peaches showed many
declines of 10 to 25 cents. Canta-
loup prices were irregular, mostly
lower.
Leading city markets reported
moderate supply of potatoes and
fairly good demand but most mar
kets weakened after the ending Of
the shipment control in Maryland
and Virginia producing sections. The
price for sacked stock at country
shipping points in Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Kansas, and Missouri sagged
back to a range near 20 cents per
100 pounds. Eastern markets de- !
clined 20 to so cents per barrel for |
Virginia CObblers,. and. about 15c per
100 pounds for New Jersey stock.
Onion markets showed little |
more frmness after mid-July, owing |
mainly to improving quality Of East
ern receipts and ending Of the

DOCTOR TANK
By Harry Brokaw

By Harry BrokaW
! Old Doctor Yank, God rest his soul.
He had a braWny arm,
His grip was like a wise itself.
Although he meant no harm.
A Dentist, yes, he knew his job,
And had sufficient pull,
While in his Office every case
With instruments was full.
1t seems to me but yesterday,
My teeth were aching some,
Twas bealed a bit around the root,
And sore about the gum,
My mother said, "Old Doctor Yank
Will fix you up at once,
So have him pull the pesky thing,
Don't act so like a Ounce"
With many a halting footstep then,
travelled to his door,
Let me repeat, God rest his soul,
ne'er shall see him more.
He placed me in a cushioned chair,
And bade me open wide,
Then stretch my jaws far, far apart,
That he might see inside.
He slived around the gum a bit,
Injecting something there,
Through instrument of shining steel,
II made lac gasp for air.
He seized within his viselike grip,
His forceps dull and old,
Then laid them on my aching tooth,
To make my blood run cold.
Down, down he showed, oh how It
hurt,
No chance to then explain,
No hope that he might realize
My fierce and bitter pain.
Then forth he drew that mighty arm,
In one victorious sweep,
AS all at once the tooth let go,
Although twas anchored deep.
I've met with dentists in my day.
A new and clever school,
That claim to Danish fear and pain,
And oft that is the rule.
But in long and growing list,
/ have my God to thank,
There is not one that can compare
With good old Doctor Yank.

CONTENTION
BY EARL GOODWIN

There is a stream down in Geor.
gia, in Congressman Wilson'S dis.
trict, which may turn out to have
historic Importance because it is
a proposed bridge across that
stream which is the bone of
contention between the red.suS
rendered Gov. Eugene Talmadge
of Georgia and the New Deal.
If the stream is bridged, then It
will be bridged over Governor Tai.
madge's dead (politicaD body.
If it is bridged it will mean that
the crimson.gallused governor has
either lost his sticking power or
the people of Georgia will have
risen in their wrath to find out
who's who in that region-the
sovereign people or the governor.
He's loft" VinSOn
If it is not bridged it will mean
that Eugene Talmadge is as su-
preme in Georgia as is Senator
Huey Long in Louisiana and that
he can afford politically and finan.
cially to discard $19,000,000 Fed
eral money while every other
State, except Louisiana, is getting
huge slices of the Federal aid.
The whole argument between
Governor Talmadge and the Ad-
ministration can be narrowed
down at this moment to the fact
that he seems ready to accept the
whole Federal program of road
work with the exception of the
bridge across the little stream in
Congressman Wilson'S district.
Governor Talmadge is "off" Con-
gresham Vinson and he is willing
to deprive the entire State of Fed
eral aid to good roads to keep
that bridge out IF the Vinson
district.
Admits Fair Offer
Governor Talmadge admitted
before he left here for Georgia
last week that the Administra-
ton had made him a fair offer.
The Federal Bureau of Public
Roads has a program for the i'm.
provement of roads in Georgia,
and if Georgia accepts that pro-
gram and does it's share, there's
$19,00o,000 in the Treasury the
State can have at any moment.
But the Federal program includes
the roadway across that stream
in Congressman Wilson's district,
including also the bridge. Cover
nor Talmadge baked at that; and
admitted it.

lotted for debate on the rule, he di-
rected his remarks at the taxlegisla-
ton itself and with such effect as to
draw an immediate response from
Representative O'Connor, Democrat,
of New York, chairman of the Rules
Committee.
In part, Smell declared:
In my judgment, there Is no JUS

ment can be advanced why it should
have been seriously considered by the

affairs Of Government other than
than that which has existed for the
last year and half, due to the pro-
gram Of reckless expenditure Of this
administration, this bill does not meet
that emergency.
IF there is any social injustice to
be corrected, this bill falls ss far short
Of that purpose as it does of providing
revenues for balancing the budget
1T is not a revenue bill. It Is not

well known figures such as Theodore
Roosevelt and Alfred z. Smith, the
tenor of all the quotations being op-
posed TO excessive and discriminatory
taxation. He then closed his address
with the declaration that the bill
marks the beginning of ruthless appliG
cation Of the political axiom that
power to tax Is also power to de-
stroy.'"
This assault was answered immedi-
ately by Representative SABBATH, DEM
ocrat, Of Illinois, who accused the
vested interests" Of being the mott
vating influences in opposition to the
pending program.
Representative O'Conor followed
the Illinois veteran by accusing the
Republican leader of firing another
opening gun for the next campaign.
"Is that the issue on which they
are going to the country in l936-that
the Democratic party is proposing a
tax bill increasing the taxes on in
dividuals receiving in excess of $50
600 or more?" he asked.
Are they going to the country on
the issue that we are increasing the
taxes on inheritances which come To
people through no effort of their own?
Are they going to the country on the
issue that we are trying TO impose
some taxes on gifts made for the sole
purpose of evading taxes? If so, We
