Having made these -trips, the lat- “ter recently, the writer heartily agrees. Birth contro) and’ sterifization’ are considered means toward attaining a higher plane of civilization. Education, raising the quality of mentality and reason jn man is the only method to accomplish thie. The history of the world proves that mah advances as his mind improves, not his body.

As far as we know there is no | trecord that it ever got out, but if it didn’t “the musea domestica is evidently definitely * dead, and that is why recurring references | “abe made to it. If it did get out we would “hear no more of the fly in the ointment, land a pet phrase would be consigned to =the limbo of forgotten things. (Thanks “for helping us fill out this column.) STUPID RELIEF WORK In the current Scottish Rite bulletin attention is called to what appears to be rank stupidity on the part of certain fed- eral relief agencies, of which the following example is given: Federal relief in Kentucky shipped } 172 carloads of new potatoes into that | state from Virginia the middle of July, to be distributed among 111,000 families on |. the relief rolls. This involved much waste, | because new potatoes do not keep, and each day after they are taken from the ground rotting increases. Besides, during late July and August, Kentucky must ship potatoes into other states, or leave them in the ground to rot. H It appears, therefore, that the fe lief agency could have saved time, pre- vented waste of potatoes, saved freight charges, and at the same time could have given additional work to Kentucky farm- | ets by taking care of the crop in that | state. As the bulletin rightly suggests, it | would be hard to determine just how much } mismanagement in state and federal _re- | lief activities is costing the taxpayers of the country, but it doubtless amounts to a) great deal. i | } i \ » But, so long as the taxpayers pay for | DA YS GONE B | : Cee q | e 2 : such blunders, why should incompetents | ‘ fo : 4 Anniversaries liereadimimelecen oaek on the publie payroll worry? | Happétiings Here ‘Suet 10.

Farmers are protesting that if spec- ulative support had not been driven from the grain market by advocates of more re- strictive laws, higher prices would have prevailed during movements of the winter wheat crop. A seasoned observer of com- modity marketing writing in a farm paper, says: “There is little doubt in the minds of eenservative students of the grain market situation that a large part of the wheat re- cently sold by farmers from the new crop |} has brought much lower prices than would have been the case if there had been a normal volume of speculative and invest- ment buying.” A similar view is expressed by the editor of The Cotton Digest, who says: “Obviously business will thrive best in a favorable environment, where opportunity is open and unhandicapped, and will lan- | gvish in an unfavorable environment, where opportunity is restricted and arti- ficial handicaps beset endeavor.” The prompt removal of threats held over our dominant markets, such as wheat and cotton, would work wonders in the restoration of local as well as international trade relationships, it is agreed by many.
