A Local Problem

There is good in the world why the Federal
Governments recently expanded bureaucracy should be
permitted to meddle with the local milk supply
THERE IS AMPLE LOCAL AUTHORITY TO Gov
ERN THE MILK MARKET AND THE RELATIONS
BETWEEN THE PRODUCERS AND CONSUMERS.
Should situation arise in which local authorities
unable function satisfactorily it will be found that the
consumers, distributors and producers will be able to
protect themselves.
Without the interference of Federal authorities the
local milk situation has been adequately handled in the
past.
Consumers have been assured of the highest standard
milk distributors have certainly been making at least
fair profit and the farmers have not found themselves
unable to get increase in price when such increase
was justified.
It has, of course become the fashion for groups ask
the Federal Government to mnge in all of their affairs
and when the groups haven't asked for such lnterfer
the Federal Government to be determined to
do it anyway
It is not therefore, surprising that farmers sup
plying milk to the local market have asked the Agricu
tural Adjustment Administration to set up
the local market and to increase prices
FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, HOWEVER,
TO AcQU1EsCE IN THIS PROPOSAL WOULD BE
TO PUT THE WASHINGTON CONSUMER RIGHT ON
THE SPOT.
It must be remembered that the farmers of Maryland
and Virginia, supplying the local market can vote.
They have and are entitled to Federal officials who,
in order to win their favor will their utmost infu-
ence to see that their wishes prevail.
Consuming Washington has such Federal officials
elected by the local vote.
If Washingtonians have any influence with any gov
ernment it is with the District of Columbia government
and sometimes we doubt that that influence is very
strong.
Nevertheless the local consumer finds that his
ends are better serUed and believes sincerely that
the producers lUH receive adequate consideration, If
the handling of the milk situation is LETT to local
officials and to the sense of fair play Dtich has
had such an important part in regulating that stua
ton for mann years.

BADGE FOR WILL

Col. Edwin A. HalSey, secretary
of the Senate, has received a letter
which he values very highly from
Will Rogers widow.
At the Democratic National Con-
vention a group gathered around
discussing who was there and who
didn't show up. Several thought
of Will. During his visits to the
Capitol, Mr.. Rogers used Colonel
Halsey's office as headquarters
and at several conventions he
stuck close to the Colonel.
AS soon as the badges came out
at the convention, Colonel Halsey
sent Mrs. Rogers an appointment
for Will as assistant sergeant-at-
arms and his badge along with a
letter of regrets that the great
humorist was not present. Mrs.
Rogers reply, in part, said:
"Thank you so much for your
sweet note and the convention
badge which you were thoughtful
to send. want you to know how
deeply / appreciate your kind
thought of Will and the beauti.
full tribute which the convention
paid to his memory"

Thomas jefferson, like the rest
of his neighbors, grew tomatoes,
but they grew them in the flower
garden as flowers and not as
vegetables. No one ate them be-
cause tomatoes were supposed to
be poisonous.
One day Mr.. jefferson was en-
tertaining a group of friends. He
took them out in the garden and
during the course of the tour
reached down, pulled tomato off
the vine and ate it.
The story spread like wild fire
and as Mr.. jefferson proceeded
down the streets of the town a
crowd gathered and followed him
waiting for him to drop dead. He
didn't and people from that day

CALLED IN
It was down at the Botanical
Gardens. One of the men was at
work with a net taking the fish
from a huge tank, and preparing
to change the water.
A tourist family approached. 1t
consisted of papa, a big important
looking Individual; mamma, a
grown son and daughter. Papa
took a paternal interest In the
workings of his Government and
he watched the fishing very care
fully. Then he spoke in a cajoling
tone:
"Going to take them home
and fry them for dinner?"
The attendant looked up, shook
his head and said solemnly:
"NO sir. Under orders from
the President, we have to turn
these over to the United States
Treasury"
Papa looked at him blankly
while Mamma and the boy and
girl grinned.
"Why do you have to do that?"
persisted Papa.
Because they are goldfish
