Republicans are not attacking the administration for perhaps its most proportionately most stupid and expensive flops the silver buying policy which was to correct so many things, including the power cf China to buy more American exports. These are two of the phases of this presidential campaign which must be very amusing to any foreigner. Prohibition is almost One angle, however, which neither the wets surprised because there was no boasting about the keeping of this platform pledge nor the drys indignant that it have appreciated is was kept purely financial. It affects another issue in the campaign, and one which the Democrats do not wish to discuss. For repeal of prohibition has resulted in pouring half a billion five hundred million dollars a year more into the federal treasury as tax revenue. New Dealers do not want to talk about this, for it naturally raises the point what would the deficit be, and how much would the increase in our national debt be, if there had been no repeal? That, however, is a very minor point in comparison with the real reason that not one of the hundred odd speeches at Philadelphia mentioned the carrying out of this particular campaign pledge. The real reason is that the drys are militant-l- y angry, and to boast about the would irritate accomplishment Evidences of this them further. have been growing for some time. Strictly speaking, it is not a proper issue in this campaign. The truth is that the Republicans at their convention in Chicago four years ago were just as eager to go all the way wet as were the Democrats. It took all the pressure of Hoover through his patronage - controlled delegates to prevent it. The high spot in the humor of that situation was the Maryland "free state" delegation, and the supposedly du Pont Delaware delegation voting solidly for the merely moist as against the wet plank. They Don't Boast But there have been indications for some time that the drys, who have recovered from the almost hypnotic state into which they lapsed after the wet snowball began to roll in 1930, have centered their bitterness on the Democrats for forcing repeal, and that some of them may vote Republican this fall for no other reason than to punish Roosevelt and Farley for their drive to obtain ratification of the repeal amendment. This is the real reason the Democrats are not boasting much about the amazing achievement of forcing repeal three short years after the at the time senate lobby committee took such glee in demonstrating to its own satisfaction that every time the wets made a fight they lost more ground. Republican speakers are just as afraid of the silver issue as the Democrats are of repeal. Without exception the Republican leaders think the whole silver buying policy was weird. In fact many Democratic leaders agree with them. But to make a political issue of it might excite two groups. First, the enthusiastic silver men, and, second, the inflationists who, while caring nothing about silver per se, looked on the silver policy as a move in their direction. All of this is highly important in several small, but important states, which just might become vital if the election is close." . Causes Surprise Critics of the Passamaquoddy tidal project were surprised at the recent declaration of President Roosevelt to citizens of Eastport, M aine, that Quoddy "will be completed." The surprise is occasioned because ' President'' Roosevelt has admitted several times" in the last few months ' that he cannot allot "money to the project until congress , has authorized it.

They will not have the same keen interest, for the sake of party loy- alty and selfish interest, to give him unquestioning support on anything he may ask.

There is definite retardation of growth at 50 degrees or below and milk held at this temperature will keep fresh for 86 hours. Since dealers cannot use milk which is high in lactic acid, or almost sour, the producer must prevent his milk from being rejected by the market by keeping it below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. "Recent tests made at the New Jersey agricultural experiment station showed that when milk with a bacteria count of 10,000 per cubic centimeter is held at 32 degrees it Mi : of Dairy Pressor Ftate The only way to control the development of bacteria is by reducing the temperature of the milk. There should be immediate and efficient cooling of milk at all seasons of the year. Cooling is vjal, since it is the only way to control the development of bacteria. The method of cooling is less important, provided it meets sanitary requirements. "While milk may be cooled satisfactorily in cooler weather by the use of water, ice water or mechanical refrigeration is needed in summer because water temperature rises with weather temperature. "Milk sours quickly at 70 degrees Fahrenheit or above. The souring bacteria grow well between 60 and Fahrenheit, ?f Hits Wholesalers Wholesalers, who, fighting competition of the chains and mail order houses, helped push through the disRobinson - Patman crimination bill, find they may be wiped out by its operations. Little book stores, never interested much except against cut price sales by department stores, face loss of many customers who bought more than one copy, intending the books for presents. All sales for future delivery seem to be up in the air, with the prospect of plenty of trouble for any manufacturer attempting to carry on normal sales at the same time. These are a few highlights of trouble involved in the new measure, jammed through in the last few days of congress, without most of the people who would be affected having more than a remote idea of what it would do to them. Wholesalers will be hit two ways. The law is very specific that the same discount must be given different buyers who obtain the same quantity. It is also drastic in fordisbidding too heavy discounts counts larger than the actual saving to the manufacturer resulting from the size and handling of the order. Emphasis during debate on the bill was put on this last phase. But it is the first phase which now rises to plague the wholesaler. For instance, a chain grocery system can buy in quantities greater than any wholesaler. Before this law it was argued that the chain forced the "manufacturer to sell to it at a greater discount than the the chain volume justified. But will surely get under the present law as much discount as the big wholesalers and perhaps more. So that the chain still has a big advantage over the little independent, who must, of course, pay the wholesaler a profit and the extra cost for handling.
