Sage dnd Soil
BY Mrs. Paul Schuller

Did you ever get steamed up
about something?
It fell my lot to hear a
fine paper given on Herbs"
The reader pointed out that
the H was silent or sounded

that either pronunciation was
o. K. by Webster.
I've walked around my yard
dozens of times thinking this
or that place would be an
ideal spot for herbs, and have
decided stoutly that right by
the kitchen door shall be it.
The rain spout and rubber boot
hazard will have to be elm
mated and puppy dogs and boys
corraled.
It has been a long time since
I've thought about herbs. When
I was a child, once a year we
killed a veal calf. My father
would clean the head and my
mother would soak it. Then
with a bouquet of herbs, she
would fix a most savory dish.
There would be carrots, turn
Ups, potatoes and onions cooked
long and slowly with the calf
head. Just about an hour be-
fore taking it off, mother
would add cabbage. She lifted
the honey structure from the
pan before dishing it up, and
this diShing up was a work of
art.
The quarters of cabbage were
ranged around the edge of the
platter, making a lovely green
shell frame, then the golden
quarters of carrots, the pota-
toes, turnips and onions and
fragile slivers of veal in the
center, served steaming hot.
The herbs came from Stone
Mountain, Ga, on the Gains
vile side, that is, all but the
parsley. 1t came from the flow
er pot in the kitchen window.
So much for herbs.

deep gray tones have given
them such a cold, forbidding
look. Then tonight, as the sun
set, they took on such a lovely
rosy hue, The youngsters and
I watched them enraptured as
the deep dusk descended, real

a lovely snow storm on them
tomorrow.
I am wondering what the

This is the time of year when

that there is always something

The Low Down
On Hickory Grove

Most everything has an end
ing. Even the 7 years itch, it
ends.
And people who have been
wringing their hands and fig
uring that things down yonder
on our Potomac, they would
never improve, they are COM
mencing to see a little clearing
in the skies.
And some of the boys down
there, they are kinda holding
back, before they jump through
the hoop.
And they are calling confer
ences down there, and halfway
more or less making it look
like there is team work.
At these conferences they
may not talk about much of
anything in particular, but 1t
is something like what the cat
cher says to the pitcher and
vice versa, when they walk out
there and whisper. It impresses
the grand-Stand.
1889 looks interesting - and
promising.
Yours, with the low down,

ROGERS PASS BILL
ARGUED AT HEARING

Boosters for the Rogers pass
road section of the Central
Montana highway and persons
against the project stated their
points at a lively hearing on
house bill IT, which would pre-
vent construction of the road
before members of the house
committee on highways.
Residents of Lewis and Clark
county, in the seventh high
way district, appeared before
the committee to urge passage
of the bill because, they said,
the Rogers pass road would be
built with funds allocated the
seventh district but that the
road would not aid the district.
Persons favoring the road
stated it is a necessary part
of the Central Montana high
way, which would serve 1885, 900
people between Glendive and
Boner, near Missoula. They
pointed ont that the disputed
section is on the federal sys-
tenn and that district seven has
been drawing money because
the road is uncompleted.
They also pointed out, and
their statements were confirmed
by State Highway Engineer D.
A. McKinnon, that construction
of the road would not mean
the sighting of projects in
other districts as all state high
way funds are allocated by law
to the 2 districts in specified
nercentageS.

"big shots" to go into hiding
until the cheat is off,"
The city fathers in the Ma
tional Capital (the District of
Columbia Commissioners are
learning a lesson that the rest
of the nation already knows,
They say they would be a lot
happier these days if they just
had a good big industry in
Washington-an industry that
is, other than politics.
Industrial plants have been
discouraged-by laW-from the
District. In the first place in
dustries could not meet strin-
gent zoning limitations. In the
second place, the smoke OF in
dustrial furnaces would dirty

Now, however, the District
Commissioners are struggling
with a budget problem. adding
to the troubles are their very
limited tax sources govern
ment owns a large portion OF
the land in the District and
the other property owners are
already carrying a tax burden);
So, said the Commissioners last
week, as they adopted a sales
tax plan: If we just had a good
big industry here, giving jobs to
a lot of people whose salaries
were not exempt from taxes, we
wouldn't have to work out a

MI. Editor:
Feed loans subject to the
Wheeler resolution carry a pro-
vision that the borrower may
not remortgage cattle at that
time mortgaged to the finance
corporation. Congress created
the intermediate credit associa-
tons to provide needed credit.
The finance corporation arbi-
trarily closed out and sold out
borrowers with loans under
$4,000 representing that credit
through the intermediate cred
it associations was available TO
them. However the administra-
tive authority of the feed loans
uses the clause against remOrt-
gaging to deny the credit facil-
titles provided for by congress.
At the most it seems an un-
justifiable bubble that the
forced out transfer from the
RFC, one barnch of congress
Sionally provided credit, to an
other branch, the intermediate
credit association, is remortgag-
ing.
This use of the feed loans
prevents credit after being
forced out by the R.F.C.
Rancher.

V JAMES Preston

The Capitals unofficial side
line spectators are having their
big "I-told-you-So" inning.
Weeks before Congress con-
vened when word first began
to leak out that the S~trateglsts
were going to wheel National
defense into the legislative
spotlight, these observers began
making predictions on just why
and what the defense program
would embrace. 1t would inclr"e
they spec llated, just about ev-
Try pet project that could. Dy
the farthest stretch of imag1n-
alton, be pictured as a defense
requirement.
First to be dropped gently
into this classification was part
of WPA. Other lesser lights
have followed. Now, however,
the side-liners say they have
detected the master stroke, to
wit: revival of two of the larg-
est spending projects ever star
ted, but which were dropped af-
ter a furry of protests, charges
and Congressional revolt.
One of the projects is the
Florida ship canal, which would
cost about 5000, 900 900. The 9TH
er is an experiment TO develop
power from the flow of the
tides in Passamaquoddy Bay,
Maine. This project called for
an original expenditure of
about $37, 900 900. About $7,OOO,-
600 was spent on each project
before they were dropped. Con-
gress sounded the death knell
by refusing to appropriate fur
ther funds after engineers had
called the Passamaquoddy pro-
ject and the Florida project
impractical.
They are revived now as part
of the national defense program
and there is anything but en-
thusiasm in Army and Navy
circles. The military services
would rather see the money
spent on necessities.
Another power project, this
one already completed, is in a
delicate situation, incidentally.
1t is IVA, which is finding it
difficult to satisfy the Comp
troller General on a little mat
ter of Strawberries and cream.
The Comptroller says he hasn't
been able to get an intelligent
answer as to why it was neces-
Sary to spend some six million
dollars on strawberry patches,
a freezing plant, a strawberry
marketing boat, a dairy herd
and other incidentals on the
iva project.
While this tussle goes on, a
three sided scrap is on in an
other part of the Capital City.
Participants are the Treasury
and Justice Departments and
the Intelligence Corps of the
Army and Navy. The bone of
contention is the business of
rounding up spies.
The Department of Justice
and the Treasury Secret Service
branch are at odds over which
should conduct spy trials and
thus get the public's nod of ap-
proval and all the glory that
goes with it. Jealousy has ex-
listed ever since the Department
of Justice began %publicizing it's
activities, in contrast TO the ST.
lence of Treasury Secret Serv-
ice agents.
On the other hand, the In
telligence Corps operatives
would like to see all the fanfare
of publicity that has marked
recent spy trials stopped. 1t
believes publicity hinderS their
work of trailing down spies.

tried were small fry" and that
