, Farms Cab City Dwellers.

In the Atlantic states a distinct moves
ment from the city to the farm is reported.
This is reversal of the trend which
started when the high wages and shorter
hours of defense industries began to
attract farm laborers.
The question of wages does not enter
into movement back to the farm. II
started first as means Of seeking protec-
ton from the bombers which might at
tack cities but would scarcely waste ex-
pensive ammunition in isolated country
areas. Along with the protection there
came the experience of some of the ad-
vantages of country life. Rationing of
so many staple products and the increas-
ing prices Of food, notwithstanding the
ceilings. turned the thoughts of some of
these pilgrims to the possibility of pro-
ducing portion of the family living right
at home.
Some of these experiments were sue
cessful Friends in the city heard about
il and decided to join the farm colony.
Hundreds of families are getting a new
experience and more wholesome outlook
on life.

. Peru Has a New Deal

That there is some silver lining to the
war clouds is indicated by rapidly chang
ing conditions in Peru. Not long ago
many United States business men believed
the republic was destined to a backward
existence. Now Wall Street believes that
1t should have prosperous future.
The changed opinion is based largely
on reports of United States engineers who
have been conducting surveys in that
country. The boom psychology of the
new trade agreement signed by the United
States has had the effect of giving Peru
vians new outlook. The agreement pro-
vides that we furnish technical assistance
in exploiting enormous coal and iron de-
posits. Since the mines are close to sea-
ports and the ore requires only an mex
pensive short haul, many New York spec
ulators think that our Good Neighbor can
produce the metals more cheaply than any
other nation on earth.
This agreement will be of great mutual
benefit during the war and can be con-
Quoted on a peace time basis with profit
to both countries. Germany beat us to
lot of the South American trade because
we did not go after it hard enough and
did not give the people down there credit
for knowing very much. The war has
wiped most of the old scoreboards clean
and we face future of cordial as well
as profitable relations with the countries
to the south. 1t will be as good for Peru
as it is for US.

Tacoma city light department is to be
congratulated on the prompt compliance
with the dim-out requirements of the
Western Defense Command. The dim
mers give the streets rather somber APP
pearance but the light that is left is di-
rected where it will do the most good.
1t would be in the nature of calamity
to be compelled TO shut the lights off en-
tirely, the only alternative offered by
Gen. Dewitt, in command of the Western
Defense area. 1t would be particularly
bad in the residence districts. Those
whose deeds are evil are most active in
the dark. Turn on the light and they
scamper like scared rats.
The genius of the light department
staff has saved Tacoma from a situation
where the workers in darkness might
have found fine field for their opera
tions.

} Protecting the Milk Supply


Proposal of the city council to adopt
new milk code does not mean that the
milk supply Of Tacoma has fallen below
healthftl standard II means only that
the city is going TO follow a milk control
plan that has been approved By the United
States Bureau Of Public Health and join
with other cities in what amounts TO
nationwide movement to guarantee the
milk supply.
The measure being considered by the
council and which developed some contro-
versy at the first hearing is a standard
code recommended By the federal bureau.
II provides certain safeguards and pre-
cautions that have been demonstrated to
be practical in large scale milk control.
Though some producers and distributors
may be required to make structural
changes in their plants. and some new
equipment will be required, the new code
does not impose unreasonable or overly
burdensome conditions.
Neither does the code require Of the
producer or distributor immediate hun
dred per cent compliance. Time is given
to make the changes in an orderly man
ner.
There also is taken into account the
fact that some of the equipment required
Is not Immediately obtainable. Ample
provision Is made for any conditions that
may arise.
The code proposed by the city council
Is not new TO the milk industry in the
Northwest. Portland has been operating
satisfactorily under the code for several
years Seattle adopted the code q couple
OF years ago and Yakima is just begin
ming to operate under 1t.
Some Of the overly fearful have won
dered II the fact that the council proposes
10 adopt the standard code Is not evidence
that something Is wrong With the Tacoma
MILK supply. Nothing could be further
Occasionally there might be case Of
careless handling. but with the system
of inspection now in force it can't get
very far. There are few cities in the
United States of the size of Tacoma where
the milk supply Is better.
The real purpose back Of the present
move is to be sure that the high standard
will be maintained and improvements
made wherever possible. The population
of Tacoma Is increasing rapidly. The
greater the quantity of milk handled the
greater the possibility that the standards
may Inadvertently be lowered. II is pro-
posed to act before there Is any danger
of letting the bars down. Adoption OF
the proposed code will be good insurance
of perfection.
Some years ago in period of financial
stress Tacoma took chances with the milk
supply by dropping certain regulatory
measures In order to save few dollars.
The experiment went close to the danger
line but fortunately the situation was cor
rected before serious damage was done.
What the city council is proposing to
do now will prevent the possibility of the
milk standard being lowered. The code
will strengthen control of the milk supply
and will not hurt anybody At least that
is the experience of other cities where
the code Is operating.

Everlasting Punishment" is the subject of the Lesson Sermon which will be read in all Churches of Christ, Scientist. Sunday, Novem- Der l.
 Words from Proverbs form the Golden Text: My son, despise not the christening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction: for whom the Lord loveth he correct eth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
 Among the citations which com prise the Lesson Sermon is the following from the Bible: "The highway of the upright is to de- part from evil; he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul" (Pro- verbs 16:1O
 The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, Sci ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy There is but one way to heaven, harmony, and Christ and divine Science shows us this way. It is to know no other reality-to have no other consciousness of life than good, God and His reflection, and to rise superior to the so-called pain and pleasure of the senses.
