Co-operative* Fear Relief
The stabilization feature of the proposed farm re- j
lief bill now before congress is seen by J. W. Herbert, j
general manager of the Yakima <Wash.> Fruit Grow- |
ers Association, as a serious threat at existing sue- j
cessful co-operative marketing organizations and pos- .
sibly as the death knell of a movement which rapidly
is proving itself sound.
The creation of a $300,000,000 loan fund to finance
the purchase of surpluses will bring on a “mushroom
crop of hot-house co-operatives, most of which must
eventually fall.” in the opinion of Mr. Herbert. And
it is in the failure of these hot-house co-operatives
that he sees the danger.
‘To discredit the co-operative form of organiza
tion in the eyes of the business world would be a se
rious thing: to discredit it in the eyes of the producers
would be fatal.” is the way he puts it.
The law is economically unsound and therefore |
doomed to failure, in the opinion of this authority.
•The whole scheme is in effect an attempt to have
the farmer pull himself out of the mire by his boot
■traps.” he declares. The government virtually
washes its hands of all responsibility and passes the
buck to the co-operative associations by giving them
this huge fund with which to stabilize farming. It
they fail, as they probably will, the co-operative move-1
znent will bear the odium of that failure ”.
He explain* his prediction that failure is almost
certain in this manner:
“They will fail because the government has laid
down in the law provisions which in fact say that the
government funds shall be used to buy surpluses and
■ell them presumably at a profit on the domestic and
foreign markets, preferably on the foreign markets.
The inevitable result will be that prices must be
stabilized at a figure that will dispose of the surpluses,
which means that the price for the entire production
must of necessity seek the level fixed by the stabiliza
tion corporations for the surpluses.”
There seems to be sound reasoning in the conten
tion of Mr. Herbert that were it possible through
tnormous credits to dispose of surplus crops at a
profit it would only serve to increase the acreages de
voted to the production of that crop and further in
crease the surplus in an ever mounting inverted pyra
mid.
He seems to agree that the real problem is in sur
plus production and that the only real solution is to
be found in reduced farm acreages. Farm relief to
be sound must be based on the knowledge that more
bf certain farm product* are being grown than can be
■old with profit to the producer.
The editorial writer in Liberty Magazine this week
proposes as a solution to the problem that a portion
of the farms in the United States be purchased by
the government and made to lie fallow.
This wrriter proposes that the government imme
diately enter a gigantic program of public works to
provide employment for farmers and farm labor which
thus would be deprived of work. The farms pur
chased where suitable, might be planted to forest, he
contends.
The trouble with his solution seems to be about the
lame as with the proposal to make the crop profitable
by price control.
If large farm acreages were purchased and allowed
to lie idle, it is likely prices would advance. But what
would prevent farmers from buying other tracts and
beginning fanning operations all over again?
The law of supply and demand is Inexorable.
The most successful co-operatives in the land have
not been able to avoid low prices when there was a
surplus of the commodity in which they were dealing.
A co-operative by efficient handling can reduce
belling costs, open and develop new markets and sell
In an orderly manner, thus securing for the members
■1! the profit possible, considering the size of the
Crop; the officers can study and distribute the asso
ciation members Information regarding probably pro
duction.
More than this none of them claim to do—more
than this cannot be done.
Why Secret Roll Call*?
Why secret roll calls, in the senate on the nomin
ation and confirmation of men who are named for
high places in the federal government? Why not
open doors? Why closed doors? Why bar newspaper
representatives? Why keep the real facts from the
American people? Pres. Hoover has a splendid op
portunity to sound a note of warning to the American
senators in defense of the freedom of the press and
the constitutional right of the people to be told In
the columns of the dally press what Is going on at
all times in governmental circles in the city of Wash
ington.
Old Agre Pensions and Their Need
A measure to authorise the director of the census to
collect statistics regarding the need of old age pen
sions. fathered by Rep. Swing. <RV. of California, will
engage the attention of the national lawmakers until
the census taking bill has been enacted.
Among the information collected would be the num
ber of men and women in the republic 85 years old
and older, who possess an assured income of less than
that which ordinalily would be received from $5,000.

IF THE TALKIES DO "ROMEO AND JULIET."
(The scene in Capulet's orchard in the moonlight.)
Tramp—tramp—tramp— tramp—tramp. (Romeo's
footsteps in the garden).
Romeo: He Jests at scars that never-r-r-r-r felt-t
a wound-d-d-d. But SOFT-T-T! What light through
yonder window breaks?
(There is a sound of squeaking shoes as Juliet ap
pears at the window. Juliet coughs like a barking
seal and as she opens the window there is a noise like
an explosion in a glass factory.)
Oh-h-h. that I wurruh a GLUV upon that hand
That I may TOUCH that JEEK!
Jul: O-O-O-O RQME-M-E-O-W, ROME-MEOW.
Wherefore art thow, ROME-MEOW-W-W?
Deny thy father and refuth thy name
Or. if thow wilth not, be buth thwom my love
And IH no longer be a Cab-yew-leth.
Rom (aside): 8HALL I HEAR OR SHALL I,
SPEAK AT THI8-8-S?
Jul: Tith but they name thath ith my enemy;
Thow art thyself, though not a Mount Agew;
What’s Mount Agew? It ith not hand nor footh.
Nor arm. nor faith, nor any other parth
Belonging to a man. O. be thome other name!
WHATH'S IN A NAME? Thath which we call *
roath ^
By any other name WOULTH MELL ATH THWEE
EE-T.
Rom: I take thee yat thy word! Call me but luv;
and I'll be new bapt.z-z-sed.
(Close-up of Romeo showing him breathing rapidly
to accompaniment of noise like a locomotive getting
up steam. Close-up. too, of Juliet, showing her bosom
rising and falling as she inhales and exhales with the
audible effect of a big wind howling through an al
ley.)
Jul: How cameth thow hither, and wherefore?
(There is a noise like a steam-shovel digging
through loose plumbing. It is put in to denote Juliet s
nurse moving about inside in her boudoir slippers.)
If they do THEE THEE HERE THEY WILL MUR
DER THEE!
(Here there is a sound of a caboose being shunted
against a row of empty freight cars, i truckload of
dishes going over a cliff, a cavalry charge down a
cobbled street, or something).
Jul: I HEAR THEM NOITH WITHIN: DEAR
LOVE ADIEU!
(At this point there is a sound like somebody scream
ing up an elevator shaft. It represents the nurse
calling for Juliet.)
Jul (reappearing and holding finger to lips):
Hist. ROMEO. HIST!
(Juliet closes the window with a noise like a run
away taxi going through a plate glass door. Romeo
tiptoes through the garden to a sound similar to a
flat-wheeled surface car going off the tracks. There
is quiet and suddenly a teriffic crash like a ball mak
ing a ten-strike in a howling alley. It is the nurse
putting Juliet to bed.
SPRING PLEA.
Darling.—if you and I ever should wed
You may beat me and wallop my jaw.
Abuse me and pull all the hair from my head
But DON’T talk of golf any more!!!

WASHINGTON. May 30.—"Mr. Speaker, a parlia
mentary inquiry—”
Things were getting lively on the floor of the house
of representatives. A resolution to send the farm re
lief bill with the senate amendment providing lor the
export debenture plan to conference was pending.
Party lines never were more tightly drawn. Re
publicans were solidly behind the resolution. Demo
crats were putting up a plucky but futile opposition,
and were resorting to every possible bit of strategy’.
"Mr. Speaker, a parliamentary Inquiry—"
The cry was heard repeatedly from the democratic
side
These were busy moments for the young man sta
tioned at the elbow of Speaker Longworth. For upon
the shoulders of Lewis Deschler, parliamentarian of
the house, rested the responsibility of putting the cor
rect words into the mouth of the speaker In answer
to these parliamentary Inquiries.
Deschler must be on his toes constantly at such
times. Each inquiry must be met with a ruling from
the chair, and quickly. And the ruling must be cor
rect.
• • • •
GUARDIAN OF WORDS
The young parliamentarian is a model of efficiency
on occasions like this. He moves up within a few
inches of the speaker s stand where even a whispered
explanation may be heard by the chair with ease. Al
most before the questioner has stated his inquiry
Deschle rstarts with his answer. And he stays by the
speaker s side until the storm is over and peace reigns
again.
One finds it difficult to understand how such a
young man can hold so important a position. Deschler
U not past 30.
Speaker Longworth appointed him house parlia
mentarian January 1. 1938. He succeeded Lehr Fess,
the son of the United States senator from Ohio. He
had been Fess' assistant
Deschler has not been an expert in parliamentary
law many years. It was not so long ago that he was
employed as timekeeper in the house of representa
tives.
But the subject interested him even then, and he
started to read up on it. Then Fess decided to resigfi
Longworth suggested to Deschler that he learn all
the parliamentary law he could and he would give him
a try at Fess’ place
• • • t
GOOD CHOICE
The speaker's choice proved to be a good one.
Deschler is admitted to be one of the best parliamen
tarians the house ever has had .
When he is not on the floor of the house Deschler
may be fosnd In the speaker’s rooms just across the
hall. His desk is in a corner, and is piled up with all
sorts of books on rules and parliamentary law.
Not tar away are the chambers of the supreme
court where he must go frequently to look up decisions
affecting some parliamentary question.
Deschler says his work is hard, but to him it is the
most fascinating thing he can think of. He must read
constantly to keep posted on questions likely to arise
in the house.
Frequently he works all night on a problem. The
speaker must be ready at all times and Deschler must
see that the speaker Is ready.

“Here comes the bride!"
READ THIS FIRST: i
Vivian Matthews. 20, a doorstep
baby, is considered a "flat tire" by 1
the younger set of Bender, Kansas,
because of her shyness. Kentworth
Hillman John III, scion of the
oldest family in the town, is jilted
by Aurelia “Dovie" Jansen, the
town belie, in favor of a European j
count. Kent, “through with worn- |
en." offers Vivian one hundred:
thousand dollars and a divorce in j
Paris at the end of the year if she
will marry him so he can get his
grandfather's fortune. She secretly
loves him and consents. Patricia
Sullivan. Vivian’s only friend,
known on Broadway as "Cuddles
Namara," a chorus girl, home after
four years, gives a reception for
her. and the town women, burning
with curiosity, shower Vivian with
presents and attention—the first
she has ever received.
(Now Go On With the Story)
• • •
CHAPTER VII
Cuddles dressing her. Cuddles
laughing. Cuddles with tears in
her eyes. Cuddles leading her down
the stairs from her room to meet
Kent, who waited for her In the
stuffy little parlor . . .
Then the little Old Stone church,
and in sort of a cold daze, despite
the unmerciful heat of her August
wedding day . . . The walk, slow
and funereal down the aisles of the
church before hundreds of eyes
that seemed to Vivian like miles
and miles on a hot. dry road.
“Here Comes the Bride ” the old
organ announced to the crowded
little church. Palms, flowers, can
dles. Eyes. eyes, eyes!
Cuddles, angelic in pale blue, was
Vivians bridesmaid. Jimmy Cart
wright, a fraternity brother, was
Kent's best man. They stood on
either side of the bride and groom.
Jimmy a little puzzled, trying to
look pleasant and serious at the
same time. Cuddles, with her
heart thumping, praying that Viv
ian would lose her pallor and that
queer, unearthly look, and try to
look like a real bride.
Kent was white as the dress that
| covered the tall girl at his side,
i Suddenly Vivian was seized with a
' desire to scream ... to not go
through with it. But. from th*
deliberate natural way she said her
marriage vows, no one would ever
have known.
Mother Sullivan, sitting beside
her grim, silent son “Cubby.” whis
pered discreetly:
“Sure, ’tis themselves are taking
it seriously Like it should be.
Look at them.”
He did not answer. Merely nod
ded and gripped Ws hands.
Vivian felt her wedding ring be
ing slipped over her finger. Heard
the deep, solemn voice of old Rev.
Britton, who had baptized both she
and Kent as he Intoned gravely:
“What God hath joined together,
let not man put asunder ... I
now pronounce you man and wife."
Such a farce. So unfair. Un
fair that he could not love her. But
how could he—she was nobody!
She looked a little startled as
Kent, his mouth drawn In a
straight line, bent and brushed her
own cool lips with his. Her eyes
closed In a little spasm of pain.
Suddenly Cuddles was kissing
her. Whispering in her ear ear
nestly:
“Smile! Oh. darlin* smile and
look happy They are a.U watching
you."
Vivian, with a superhuman effort,
pylled herself together, and walked
down the aisle on Kent's out
stretched arm. As they reached
the door a sudden shower of rice
sent them running to their limou
sine, with the laughter of the
crowd following them.
"Congratulations!”
"We wish you joy."
"May you always be happy.”
And Milt Naylor, the town nitwit,
had yelled after them gleefully:
"May your path be strewn with
roses.
And your children have pug ncscr.”
It was old friends and neighbors
—people who had known them ever
since they were babies, glorifying
In their romance and wishing them
well. Cinderella going away with
her prince The town '‘Nobody’*
and the pick of the flock!
Vivian was as glad as Kent
when they escaped. She sank into
the comer of the ear—the largest
and most expensive car in Bender,
with a relieved sigh. Kent wiped
his brow and said quite unroman -
tlcally:
“Well, thank crime, that’s over.’*
“Yes.'’ She looked a little sur
prised. “The worst is over—may
be."
But he did not hear the last
word. Their train for New York
was leaving in an hour, and Vivian
hurried in to dress. Kent’s bag
gage was all in the Matthews’ liv
ing room. On the way to her room
Vivian ran in to see Miss Matthews.
She sat up in bed. looking as flush
ed and excited as the bride herself,
and stroked the wedding veil
fondly.
“You look very lovely, my child.
God bless you I wish y ou a long
and happy married life with Kent.
He is a good boy."
Then she reached under her pil
low and pulled forth a little white
box.
"For you. my child. A family
heirloom."
Amazed. Vivian opened it. and on
softest white velvet was the neck
lace of Jade, cut in little squares,
that brought a little cry of delight
She buried her head in the cov
ers. and put both arms around her
old guardian.
“Oh. mv dear. It is lovely—love
ly. You shouldn't give it away.”
Martha Matthews was pleased
happy. She smiled her rare smile.

Health and Right Living]
BY ROYAL 8. COFELAJO, BA D.
Former Commissioner of Health
_ _ - - — ---. . .. ■■ ■■ ■■■ ...i. .. .
I am writing this on a beautiful
day. The boys are playing baseball,
leap-frog and sailing their boata.
The rowbpats on the lakes in the
parks are all occupied. Old and
young alike are out in the sunshine
and fresh air.
If the weather-man would supply
spring sunshine and warmth every
day it would improve the public
sunshine and warmth every day it
it would improve the public health
100 per cent. Why is this?
With the first warm day, the
windows and doors are thrown open.
Fresh air blows through the house
The garden enthusiast dashes out to
see if the flowers are beginning to
bud. The need for heavy wraps
being over, mother, grandmother
and the children all go out-of-doors.
People shut indoors because of the
weather, or from fear of the weather
are to be pitied They acquire pains,
aches, warped dispositions, needless
colds, and even mental complexes?
One hour or two in the sunshine
makes the whole world a happier
place in which to live. Food tastes
better, sleep is welcome, the family
becomes a good family after all.
The tired housewife is greatly re
freshed after an outing on a nice
day. She becomes inspired and
filled with plans for a new dish
for the family. And this sort of a
surprise always proves to be a suc
cess.
Won't you pretend that every day
is the first warm day of spring?
It will add years to your life if
you will plsy this game Fresh air
ana sunshine are Nature's finest
tonic.
Without these things you- cannot
have red blood. Without red blood
you cannot have good health. In
the last analysis your manner of
living will determine your length of
days.
The heart cannot perform its
functions unless the blood is loaded
with never ending supplies of oxy
gen. There must Be fresh air.
Then there must be some stimulus
to cause the heart to beat strong
ly and frequently. This means sys
tematic exercise, or else the gentle
stimulation which comes from hap
piness. from pleasure In work, from
Joy of nature, or delight in your
surroundings.
Fresh air is good for you. No
matter where it may be—in coun
try or city—the out-of-doors will
add to your health.
But to exert its full healing ef
fects something must be added to
the air and sunshine. There must
be a pleasing and appealing pros
pect.
Beauty of some sort, if it appeals
to you. but especially the beauty
of nature, is capable of adding to
your vigor and to your length of
life. Why?
Have you ever noticed that your
heart beats mor vigorously when
you are pleased over something?
The emotions are just as stimulat
ing as wine.
When you gaze upon beautiful
scenes, therefore, you are improving
your circulation and bathing every
part of your body in purifying blood
