Jenkins, Herter
Speak at Meeting
OF COP Women

Attacking administration policies
in the handling of the Nations food
supply, two members of the Repub-
lican Congressional Food Study
Committee warned yesterday that
further blunders" must be avoided
If the country is to be saved from
a desperate" situation.
Representative Jenkins, of Ohio
who heads the committee. and Rep
resentative Herter, of Massachu-
sets, chairman of the groups sub
committee on food distribution and
rationing, addressed the monthly
meeting of the League of Republican
Women at the league clubhouse.
Representative Herter, who was
executive secretary of the European
Relief Council and personal assist
ant to Herbert Hoover during the
last war, attributed "our compare
tive comfortable situation up to now
with respect to food" to immense
reserve stocks and abundance o1
harvests. Our thanks and graft
tude should be directed to Divine
Providence, rather than to govern
mental bureaucrats in Washing
ton," he asserted.
Predict Meat Scarcity.
For the past seven years, he said
the United States has had bounti-
full crops, with the last two years
far above normal.
Warning that under the law OF
averages I'VE are due for an average
year if not bad year. and that the
need for food will increase as the
war progresses, he urged the i'm
portance of perfecting the system OF
food rationing and distribution.
Both speakers predicted scarcity
Of meat by next spring.
Representative Herter pointed out
that the Republican committee rec
ommends that butter and fats be
rationed separately from meats and
that rationing of sugar to the house
hold consumer be discontinued
Butter and meats have no true
relationship from the rationing
standpoint" he said, and the pres
ent policy of making the same points
applicable to both makes no sense
Assails System on Cafes.
He criticized the present system
of rationing foods for hotels and
restaurants, pointing out that the
person who eats in public place
/ is not required to surrender points
for rationed food He also criticized
the fact that "a baby receives the
same ration as coal miner" and
that persons living on farms get the
same food ration as city dWellers.
Representative Jenkins explained
that the committee was organized to
study the food situation and make
recommendation
A move to draft Mrs Dolly Curtis
IGann, president of the league, for
another one-year term was initiated
at the session with presentation of
a resolution to be voted on next
month. The proposed resolution
points to Mrs Cams long expert
ence in politics and her wide ac-
quaintance with leaders of the Re-

Bedtime Stories
Bv THORNTON w, BURGESS.

Farmer Browns boy was very busy
these beautiful spring days, for the
good brown earth had to be pre-
pared for the seeds and the seeds
had to be planted, and in all this
Farmer Browns boy had a share
and was glad, for he had learned the
JOY that comes with work we'll done.
There had been a time when he had
thought that it was very dreadful
that he should have TO work, and he
had envied the birds and all the
little people of the Green Forest and
the Green Meadows. because he
thought that they had nothing to do
but to play.
But as he learned to know his
little neighbors better, and to love
them. he little by little discovered
that they had to work, every single
one of them. or they could not live,
and that those who seemed happiest,
and whom he loved best, were the
hardest workers of all. He watched
Johnny Chuck dig, and the birds
make their nests, and Jerry Musk
rat build his wonderful house, and
all of them hunt for their daily food,
and saw that each one of them has
a part of the work of the great
world to do and is happy in doing
it. And later he made a great dis
covery. 1t was that when he had
done his share of work we'll and
cheerfully he enjoyed his playtime
hundred times more than he pos
sibly could have if all his time had
been playtime. So, when he began
to find pleasure in work he found
that the better his work was done
the greater the pleasure he felt.
1t was several days after he found
out that Mrs Quack was coming at
night to feed on the corn he scat
tered among the bulrushes of the
Smiling Pool and then flying straight
into the Green Forest, before he had
chance to visit the pond of Paddy
the Beaver. He was fairly itching
with curiosity to know if, as he
suspected, Mr.. and Mrs. Quack had
decided to make their home there
for the summer, and as he worked he
kept thinking of them.
ut will be perfectly splendid if
they have" said he. They will be
perfectly safe there unless Reddy
Fox is smart enough to catch them.
Smart as he is, I don't believe he is
smart enough for that One thing
is sure, and that is that no men or
boys will frighten them if I can
help it. I'd like to make friends
with them, but they have been shot
at so much that I am afraid they
never will trust me. Anyway, I'm
going to try"
The very first chance he got he
started for the Green Forest, his

To call it "Spo-kain."
Answer:
Sane or nit witty,
If you were Superman,
And lived in that city,
You'd call it "Spo-kan."
Pensacola: Why is the name
"Towser" given to dogs?-N. P.
Answer: The name comes from
the Middle English tousen, "to pull

one that worries, or handles roughly.
From the same source come the
words tousle and tussle.

Like all members of the weasel
clan, the mink has an offensive
odor. Of course, he cannot COM
pete with the master perfume dis

been sighted by nature, even so.
He does not possess the guns, nor
can he aim at foes with this fearful

when occasion demands that this
be done.
Rival males are valiant warriors,
and they usually fight to the death.
The mink is said to be a model
father and faithful mate.
Usually the den is made in any
type of low situation near the water
There are long burrows in banks,
holes under logs, stumps or roots,
