Shaw sa^j^b«sMd%emandg for milk and riaigfffpBadaete• w; cities, due to larger consumer incomes, coupled with he^vy purchases of cheese, evaporated milk and dried milk under the lend-lease.program for shipment to Great Britain, .have combined to bring about this situation. The purchase of eleven million pounds of cheese , during June by the government, he said, and the further need for larger quantities have caused cheese prices to increase to higher levels than prevailed in 1929. Current cheese prices, Shaw said, approximate twenty-one cents per pound at Plymouth, Wis. Purchases of evaporated and dried milk by the goverranent, also for shipment to Great Britain, have pushed prices for these products appreciably higher, according to Shaw. . , .• t The need for increased amounts of cheese, evaporated and dried milk for shipment under lend-Jeasfe* coupled with their higher prices, has created a situation where manufacturers of these products are paying more for milk to their producers thpn is being received by producers supplying fluid milk on many Illinois city markets.' As a result of this unusual price situation, Shaw said farmers through* out Illinois in increasing numbers aru leaving city milk markets and selling their milk to cheese and manufacturing plants. An added factor influencing producers in their diversion of milk to cheese and evaporating plants is that milk produced for sach purposes is not subject to the stringent city milk ordinances. Illi--is Is particularly affected by lend lease jfcrrchases of dairy products the second largest prrattcer of pressed to One version explaining tt> signs painted to geometric designs on the barns in eastern Pennsylvania is to the effect that the idea was derived from the ancient Egyptian^nd that the signs are supposed produce fertility of the soil and maKF the live stock prolific. A Mennonite historian says that the designs were used by the early settlers as an expression of their religious freedom. They took literally Christ's statement, "I am the Morning Star and the Rose of Sharon," and the aymbols nearly all are derived from the star, or tulip design, the latter being a simplified version of the Rose of Sharon.

So marked Is this tendency that the late William Howard TafV immediately after being nominated for the presidency, was quoted as saying: "Get a woman off the witness stand as soon as you can.
