A full supply of milk Is of greater concern to the city housewife who consumes, it than it is to the farmer wpe produces it or to the dealer who | makes profits in the distribution of it. The dairy farmer is concerned be- cause the production of milk is his business, but in a pinch he can and| often does give up the production of milk and devote himself to other forms of production, He can live| on a reduced production of milk. He| can live without producing any milk. ! The dealer has a comfortable way of increasing his share when the volume of trade falls off by driving the price down to the farmer and boosting the cost to the consumer. | He could make a living, if less profits, in some other business. But if the woman in the city wants to raise a family of strong, healthy children she has no choice. She must have milk. The mo milk she can give them the surer she will be of keeping them alive and the surer she will be of furnishing her quota of strong, intelligent manhood and womanhood for the next generation. As communities, the interests of the producers of milk and the consumers of milk are, broadly considered, {den- tical. If distribution were fairly and honestly based on the supply and de- mand, it would be practically impos- sible for the consumer to pay the pro- ducer too much for milk. Just as soon asythe price rises to the farmer enough to cover the cost of production and a reasonable profit, more farmers will turn to milk prog duction, present dairymen will in- crease their herds, the farmer will be able to pay competent help, the dairy farms will be operated to their full capacity; milk will then be produced at less cost, the supply of milk in the city will increase and the cost to the consumer will decrease. provided we do not, as formerly, allow the dealer in milk to take all the advantage of improved conditions. WITH ECONOMIC DISTRIBUTION, INCREASE THE PRODUCT. Larger consumption will again in- crease the demand at the farm and stabilize production, 4s a matter of fact, if we could be assured of effi- cient and economic distrib pn it would be a nd far-seeing policy on the part of ce sumers to encour- | WILSON MAY GET NOBEL PEACE AWARD FOR 1918, : IS REPORT IN BELGIUM Storthing Has Expressed Wish That} President Visit Christiania on Trip Abroad.

MANY MEN SUGGESTED. Secretary, Who Retires to Re- trieve Personal Fortune, to Come Here. cee | WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—Surprise and regret were more genera] to-day in official circles over the resigna- tion of William G. McAdoo as Secre- tary of the Treasury and Director- General of Railroads than was specu- lation as to his probable successor, which is an unusual tribute for Wash- ington to pay any man. It is regarded as certain President Wilson, who has accepted the resig- nation, will name two men rather than one to fill the vacancies, which are the most important offices in the President's gift. It is understood the President has not decided on any one for either place, and Mr. McAdoqsays he has no idea who his successors will be. Rumor mentions the following as possible successor for the Secretary of the Treasury: Representative Carter Glass, Chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee of the House. Representative Swager Sherley, Chairman of the House Commit- tee on Aopropriations. Secretary David F. Houston of the Department of Agriculture. Secretary Franklin K. Lane of the Interior Department. John Skelton Williams, Comp- troller of the Currency. Paul M. Warburg, former mem- ber of the Federal Reserve Board. Bernard M. Baruch, Chairman of the War Industries Board. These are suggested as Director General of Ratlroads: Franklin K, Lane, Secretary of the Interior, John Skelton Williams. Walker D, Hines, now Assistant to the Director General of Rail- roads. Robert &. Lovett, Director of the Division of Capital Expendi- tures of Railroads. Joseph W. Folk of Missouri. r While some think Mr. McAdoo may be preparing to run for President in 1990, the reasons he gives for resign- ing—necessity for earning an ade- quate income and consideration for his health—are generally accepted. As a matter of fact, the man who has been handling more wealth than any other person in the world has “gone broke” on his satary of $12,000 a year as Secretary of the Treasury, He re- ceived no salary as Director General of Railroads, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Chairman of the Fed- eral Farm Board, Chairman of the War Finance Corporation, Chairman of the United States Section of the International High Commission and the other side Jobs the war had forced upon him, Mr. McAdoo is one member of the Cabinet who has been forced to live entirely on his salary, He has a family of seven children, some still dependent on him, and the high cost of ving in Washington, and living as a Cabinet officer must live, forced his decision to recoup his personal for- tunes. Months ago he thought of re- signing when his health began to «i way under the strain, His final de- cision came the day the armistice |” was signed.
