One of the recommendations is that the federal government affirmatively legalize the co-operative combination of farmers for the purpose of marketing, grading, sorting, processing or distributing their products. The public interest would not be endangered by these combinations, provided they restricted their activities to the functionings mentioned. But if they should be converted into organizations for controlling prices—for exacting from the consuming public exorbitant returns on farm products—then there should be vigorous opposition to them. Neither farmers nor corporations should be permitted legally to speculate upon farm products which are necessaries of life. One of the important recommendations made by this commission is to this effect: The renewal of conditions of confidence and industrial as well as agricultural prosperity is dependent upon a readjustment of prices for commodities to the end that prices received for commodities will represent a fair division of the economic rewards of industry, risk, management and investment of capital. This principle is sound. Consumers would be pleased to have farm growers adequately rewarded by receiving equitable share of profits from the sale of farm products. But consumers do not relish any plan, policy or principle whereby farmers or any other class or interest shall receive unreasonable Hoover "Let Hoover do one of the most people" At any rate, if to be done by Hoover usually does important part in doing Seldom does a finance, business, fairs, particularly mercial angle, company without sending an S.

WEBER'S BOOK & MUSIC STORE 112 E. Center St. Hoover Carries Heavy Load in Cabinet "Let Hoover do it" appears to be one of the most popular Harding slogans. At any rate, if there is anything to be done by the administration, Hoover usually does it, or has an important part in doing it. Seldom does a problem involving finance, business, or international affairs, particularly if there is a commercial angle, come up at the White House without President Harding sending an S. O. S. for Hoover—his trusty secretary of commerce. Herbert Hoover, of California, the man who was almost kept out of the cabinet by the politicians, was invited by President Harding in Florida just a year ago to become secretary of commerce—the cabinet post that ranks next to the bottom of the list. It has always been an obscure post—a political shelf for somebody that the party had to take care of. President Harding had taken care of his political cabinet, but this position was still vacant. "There's Hoover," President-elect Harding remembered. "He's a valuable man and I ought to have him in the cabinet. I think I'll make him secretary of commerce." Hoover's friends went into a rage. "He deserves a bigger job than that," they protested. But Hoover accepted it—after Harding promised that he would be given plenty to do. So a year later, Hoover, who slipped in at the back door of the cabinet and was given a job near the kitchen sink, emerges as the most prominent advisor of the administration—next to the secretary of state. Scarcely a problem of consequence has come to President Harding's attention that Hoover has not been consulted about. Here is a list of some of the matters Hoover has had a hand in dealing with since March 4, 1921: Unemployment — Co-chairman with Secretary of Labor Davis of the unemployment conference, and took the lead in drafting its recommendations. Russian relief—Organized and controls all policies in distribution of food in Russia. Trade associations — Developing federal policy toward lawful combinations in various lines of business. Packer labor dispute—Assisted Secretaries Wallace and Davis in dealing with the wage complaints of packing house employees. Railroads—Conducting a series of conferences with employees and executives dealing with wage and rate questions and matters of public policy affecting railroads. Mine Troubles—Working on plan to avert threatened coal miner strike. Waterways — Assisted in investigating St. Lawrence waterways project in connection with international joint commission. South American finance—As chairman of the international high commission in studying plans for improving financial relations with South American republics. Agriculture—Has taken steps to expel warehouse facilities for farmers. Foreign trade — Recommended plans for developing foreign trade through commercial attaches of department of commerce. Reorganization — Aided Walter F. Brown in drafting plan for reorganizing government executive departments. Sugar — Aided private business men in dealing with crisis in sugar industry. NEW CHAPTER IN AVOCADO CULTURE (By Ernest Brounton in The Times) A new chapter will have to be written in avocado culture. We have been deluding ourselves with the belief that Guatemalan hardshells are as hardy as the lemon. It has been so stated in these columns and in dealers' catalogues, and has proven true apparently in years of normal weather.. But in January, 1922, lemon orchards intersect with Guatemalan avocados, suffered but crop injury or a heavy frost pruning of new growth, while avocado trees were killed. Close observation shows that the Fuerte, a hybrid between the Mexican and Guatemalan, is on a bar with the lemon for hardiness. In some cases, it was more heavily injured than surrounding lemon trees, but in an equal number of orchards it was less injured. In nearly all cases where both Fuerte and lemon trees suffered heavily from frost, it was not easy to determine which were the more seriously injured. The Mexican style, of which the Pueblo is one of the best, proved harder than either lemon or orange trees, and passed through the ordeal with very little or no injury registered on its foliage. The pure Guatemalanans, then, are to be planted only in the most favored spots, the Fuerte quite generously, and the Mexican wherever citrus culture of even the hardiest types is a commercial possibility. This brings us back to the two or three Mexican avocados for every home garden. They are second to none in flavor.

Tribune The collapse of the Knickerbocker Theatre in Washington has revived the agitation that architects and engineers should be licensed. We presume this means that architects and engineers should undergo an examination by a competent body to determine the qualifications of the man who would follow these professions. Seventeen states have such laws, most of them having been passed in the last two years. This licensing movement is backed by the American Association of Engineers, an organization of 24,000 professional engineers. It is a credit to these professional engineers that they are seeking to purge themselves of the quack who hangs out a shingle and claims qualifications he does not possess. It is possible the architect is not always to blame for such accidents as befell the Washington theatre. It is a well known fact that all contractors are not paragons of honesty. Too many of them bid on the architect's specifications, and then set out to beat the job by furnishing very inferior materials, and doing a low grade of work. Unless closely watched it is no trick whatever for a contractor to weaken construction to a great degree. He can slight a job to such an extent as to fatten his profits beyond a reasonable and legitimate percentage. These facts do not argue against requiring architects to be licensed, but shows that defective building may not wholly be laid at the door of the architect. NOCTURNE Your love has made me still.

A little changing mood Fluttered round your name, WHITE HOUSE RECEPTION Washington Star Lately an agreeable custom was revived at the White House when the President and his wife received the people of the country in direct personal greeting in recognition of the New Year. Interrupted for some years, the "President's reception" became the chief feature of the holiday at the capital. It was a taxing procedure for the chief executive and his wife. They stood for hours shaking the hands of the people, causing a severe physical strain. In former times, however, the custom was maintained despite this fact, and undoubtedly the reception had a good effect in creating the feeling of contact between the head of the national administration and the citizens of the country. The spectacle of a long line extending from the front steps of the White House out to Pennsylvania avenue and down to the west was renewed at that time, and had a significance of moment. That thin, black strip of humanity a quarter of a mile or more, perhaps, in length means that the democracy is unshaken. Every person in that line was there because of a wish to be there. There was no compulsion, no sense of obligation, apart, perhaps, from the very few of the higher official class. The people themselves stood in line and endured hardships as great, perhaps, as those within doors who were waiting to receive them, in obedience to an impulse that is one of the strongest elements in the American system of government.

With a smile which gladdened onlookers and with perfect self possession, the Princess with her bridegroom elect, followed by the eight young bridesmaids, walked down the title of the old minister, the scene of so many events grave, and gay in the history of the nation, with only a trace of shyness to indicate that the occasion was an extraordinary one for her. The wedding march was from Romeo and Juliet, while the Princess and her train entered the church to the solemn strains of the old hymn "Lead Us, Heavenly Father, Lead Us." Lord Lascelles was uneasy while awaiting the arrival of the Princess but regained his composure as the King handed the Princess up the chancel steps. Facing the couple were the Dean of Westminster and seated to their right on the chancel were Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary, the Duke of York, Prince Henry, Prince George and other members of royalty. The Earl and Countess Harewood were seated to the left of the two with other members of the family. The guests began to enter the Abbey at 10 o'clock—nobles, men high in politics, the army, the court and the regimental corps. The members of the cabinet came in just before the doors were closed at 10:45 and took seats in the front row in the nave. Arthur J. Balfour, late head of the British delegation to the Washington disarmament conference and second only to Premier Lloyd George in England's political firmament, appeared in his Trinity Masters uniform. The Premier entered at the last moment, wearing the Privy Councilor's dress. With him were his wife and daughter, Miss Megan.
