Returning to the fixing of .a -price for wheat, the speaker declared it was done because it. had: become: geces. sary.' “Stocks of ‘wheat had .run so low-we were confronted ,with a crisis in which we could not trust the spec. ulators to buy and distribute the grain. lt became necessary for ithe govern- ment to. control the. market. and dis tribution.” The only way ‘that could He done;.was.to fix a” price’ and-‘buy. and sell'it at that price. “THE FIRST THING WE HAD IN: MIND WAS: FOOD.

In such companies, said thé speaker, the return at’the end-of the year is con- sidered a part of the purchase price and Dot profits of income or surplus. and“as- such it is not: subject-to an SIM | i | | i | | skirt, wholly plain and blouse is of white raw silk, its bro. heavily corded at the snug-fitting wa and white striped satin to match the pletes a costume that is’ ultra smart \ ' structions for the Ped Cross, the fol- lowing official statement was: issued today from local headquarters. |: “The measurements: of a completed Red Cross sock should’ be as follows: Foot from tip of heel to tip of toe, 11 inches; leg, from tip of heel to top of leg, 14 inches. “The reason for the thirteen-inch leg measurément given in the Tribune |tax as related to cooperative organ- izations received the closest atlea- tion.

Another question before the confer- ence was the matter of state regula-| tion and taxation of the railroads} The conferees had previously set-} tled the dispute over the period of} federal operation by fixing it at 21 months after the war instead of two years, aS proposed in the house bill and eighteen months by the senate.

Fish has been acclaimed by scientists as the most nutritious of foods, and the best for nerve and brain-building.

All our fish is ‘received direct | from the Canadian lakes where it is caught; frozen and shipped fo us. Upon arrival the fish is| placed in our cold storage plant, where the temperature remains the same all the year around and keeps the fish frozen and fresh; just as when caught. Fish that is frozen, thawed, and then froz- | en again does not make good | eating. That is why we lay such) emphasis on this particular point.
