The publication is to be founded by Vincent Astor 'and is described as ian "adventure In independent political . journalism." Left <to right: Vincent Astor, Professor Moley aqd W. Aterell Harrlman, who will ';bt associated with the p u b l i s h e r . ./'if 1/V---' i*- -TTTTOur Washington Letter •f --Bynational Editorial Association Washington, September 13--Warlike movements directed at Cubans has diverted the American public's attention from domestic troubles. The Navy Department with its ships of war, sailors and marines, has overshadowed General Johnson's militancy in the drive for industrial recovery, ^he switching of the spotlight is expected to afford industrailists and administration officials an opportunity to view their problems with greater forebfearance. The controversies were at the "blood-ln-the-eye" stage wherein anything could JfSppen with tempers on edge. Regardless of the final outcome of the saber-rattling and spear-polishing on the Cuban front, the international fracas, totally4 unscheduled, will undoubtedly have a stabilizing influence oh adventures in recovery. The avowed need of President Roosevelt giving his personal attention to Latin American affairs has like- •wise called a "halt on sniping stunts of the patrorfage boys. Feeling against the delay in allotment of |obs deserving democrats has been at "high pitch. There is another aspect of the patronage issue that is whispered these days. It is reported that 'certain party leaders who scorned government posts and titles have endeavored "to capitalize on their friendship with "new Federal officials. In other wt>rds, they have developed what is nothing short of a racket. 'They have established Washington offices and demanded exhorbitant fees on their claims that they can reach the ".ear" of powerful officials. The President is reported to have moved to drive these types from the temple of democracy because of the possibility of scandal. Thev"not wanter" sign lias been tacked up on these political -"fixers.-" Another source of concern is traceable to. complaints against a "few haughty and disdlainful officials whose jobs are too big for them. It is the inevitable result where positions of power are assigned because of political rather than personal merit. And it is common to all administrations without regard to any particular party. The Democrats now holding the reins are subjected to the same criticism that followed their predecessors. It is obvious that when the emergency is over there will be many changes particularly in instances where experience fails to corrackt heattitude of officials in deal- • ing with the public. It is odd how the virus of bureaucracy infects individuals who in private affairs were known for their tolerance and affability- As typical of the situation in some government departments is the commnet of an old world office-holder "I should think myself a very poor bureaucrat indeed, if I did not believe myself to know better tJHan these blockheads What is really good for them." •" One of President Roosevelt's closest friends and advisor is Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Governor of the Farm Credit Administration. The explanation, therefore, of some of the motives back of the recovery drives is quite significant. A day or two ago Governor Morgenthau explained that the present gqtoprnment "has not been content to play a waiting game. Its philosophy is the stragety of planned attack. It seeks not merely common participation in the attack, but help in the continued planning that is necessary". A definition which brings to mind the current puzzle--What to do with Henry Ford ? . It will offer the government its supreme test as to the effectiveness of the ballyhoo carried from the press, pulpit, radio, and billboard- If the public responds to the suggested boycott it will show organized propaganda has been effective. On the otner hand if the public continues to buy Ford products despite the Johnson ukase there is gxave danger that the entire erforeehient machinery of NRA will collapse. Enforcement of laws now as always continues to provide the Federal government with first-class problems. Much has been said about the penalties for violations under a code. Those giving special attention to this subject forsee a break-down which may render the recovery act ineffective. The procedure involves a series of re- ^ewswhich would require months to dispose of a real violation. If a a tain branch of a huge industry has reports of violations, there is not imiiieditae remedy against the alleged chislers. A recalitrant may protest the ruling of the code authority which must then submit the compaint to the ( Recovery Administration. If these of-^ ficials deem it worth while, they will refer to the Federal Trade Commission 'Which will pass it on to the Department of Justice. A Federal District Attorney finally is ordered to take the violators into court. Meanwhile the recalcitrant may gouge his competitors or the public at will. A short cut must be found before the whole structure of enforcement is strangled by "red tape." Despite the optimistic statement of General Johnson that $30,000,000 has been added to weekly payrolls, the gap between prices and purchasing power gives government experts a headache. If the calculations of NRA are reliable, about two millions have been restored to jobs which means a mapority of them have been removed ft cm state or county relief rolls. The government is making strenuous efforts to check price-boosters who are palming off old stobk at top-notch prices. Consumer groups are hopeful that the buying public will hold out for their rights when shopping and report the "gyps" as those engaged in unfair trad® practices are known in the trades.

Washington. -- Canada's romantic and efficient police force--the Itoyal Canadian mounted police--is observ-"' lng, this year, its sixtieth anniversary. A band of men, small in number, but strong In courage, experience, and hard training, have maintained' law and**rder over a vast territory, reach ing from the great plains north.into the Yukon, and across the Arctic to Hudson bay and Baffin island. , "In 1870, when the government of Canada gained control over the nnexplored lands of the great Northwest,; it was confronted with the problem of protecting pioneer settlers," says a bull etlp from the. National Geographic society. : "Warfare between powerful Indian tribes roaming the plains, discouraged the westward march of the' white man., Whisky runners whos£ concoctions crazed the Indians also disturbed peac'eful progress of intrepid pioneers. Two. tin cups fiiji of,'firewater' bought a bpffalo roh* and three gallons a good horse. / Covered Vast Territory. . "It was in answer to the need -for curbing these unruly elements that the •""[ Northwest mounted police was organized in 1873 at Stone Fort, Just south of Lake Winnipeg. An official bulletin Issued to the first recruits tersely stated that 'the government will make use of any person connected with the force at any Work that may be considered desirable.' The government has kept this promise through the years. "After only a year's training 300 members of the police marched over 2,000 miles of unknown territory, restoring law and order from the Red river to the Rocky mountains. .Treaties were made with the Indians, horfee stealers and murderers brought "to swift justice, and Fort Whoop-Up, stronghold of whisky traders, raided. Winter caught the 'Mounties' before they could make a return march, so a permanent camp was set up at Maoleod, oldest town in southern Alberta. Calgary, another ->fort which they founded that year, has grown to be one of the most Important towns of western Canada. "As the work of the force Increased, It became evident that a central station was a necessity. An uninhabited strip of prairie along 'Pile o' Bones Creek* was" selected and Inappropriately named Rvglna. "For over half a century Regina served as headquarters for the Northwest mounted police. It was also for years the capital %f the Northwest territories; and today, as the capital of Saskatchewan. IS one of the most Important industrial centers of middle western Canada, With a population of over 40,000. "The Klondike gold rush of "98 brought a new emergency. Dawsoa grew tflp overnight, a stampede towa with the usual, number of saloons, dance halls, and gambling houses. It promised soon to rival Skagway, then controlled by 'Soapy Smith' and fcls gang, who robbed Incoming tender feet and departing miners with equal success. "A Yukon post was promptly «Stab- 'fished by the Northwest mounted police, and Dawson speedily transformed "Into a respectable and law-abiding town. A detach mfnt was stationed at Shilkoot pass and White pass, two main gateways through which prospectors thronged, and the lawless soon learned to leave their revolvers behind. Month after montli millions In gold were convoyed and never a dollar lost . Served in Boer War. •The force was "knighted* 'In 1904 in recognition of Tts services In the Boer war. becoming the Royal North west mounted peTk*. Tn 1020, when Its jurisdiction was widened to cover enforcement of federal authority throughout the Dominion, and all laws In the Yukon, Northwest territory, and Dominion parks, the title was changed to Royal Canadian Monnted Police. "Today the mounted police patrol Canada's last great frontier, the chain of Islands stretching from Greenland to Alaska. There are posts on such isolated Islands as KTlesmere, iVorth Devon, Baffin, and Victoria. The station on Bache peninsula to within 11 degrees of the North pole. At Tlerschea Island post was held the first court In the Arctic, when ah Eskimo was sentenced for the murder of a constable. "Although theirhave 1>een given little notice in the daily news, The long winter patrols performed by these of- « fleers deserve a high rating in the record of Arctic exploration. In 1929, for instance, one Inspector with a constable, one Esklme. and-two dog teams traveled 1.700 miles in 81 days, and considered Vt only a« ordinary part of the year's work.

Range Best Place for the Health of The range is still one of the best places for the growing of sturdy, healthy pullets, In the opinion of Prof. W. C. Thompson, poultry husbandman at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment station. Fresh air, sunshine, protection from excessive summer heat, green food and working space are essential to the efficient development of good poultry,, while overcrowding of the ranges Is .the most frequent cause of trouble. The desirable conditions can be provided on farms whera not more than 300 pullets need be ranged on an acre j J and rotation of crops practiced. Col- -Irony houses for growing pullets should J be movable so that they may be shifted at 'least twice during the season. If the ranges are so managed that they have a green crop growing ©n them they will probably be In a sanitary condition. Professor Thompson recommends a four-year rotation plan, la which any given range Is used but «once during the period for the pullet crop. In the year following the use «T the land for birds, some cultivated <rop should be grown such as corn, potatoes or cabbage. In the second year, wfyeat, oats, barley, rye or some <fther small grain crop can he planted In the early part of the season and *fter the harvesting alfalfa may be sown. In the third year the alfalfa Is "managed as a money crop and tn 'the fourth year the poultry ranges «over the second year alfalfa growth. Eleven Breeds of Ducks There are eleven breeds and fifteen varieties of -duclcs. White I'ekin and Indian Runner =are two of the most numerous and popular breeds. The Pekln, Aylesbury, Houen and Muscovy are the heaviest breeds. The Cayuga and East India breeds lay black, or almost black eggs. When ducklings and goslings are hatched they don't need to be fed until they are one and a half to two days -old. The first feed may be made up Of two parts rolled ou corn meal, two parts bread c and one part hard-boiled egg, x times a day. gluartL--Wisconsin Agriculturist- -----•--:--h-- Poultry Chatter orders of -eastern candy, and baking manufacturers. age dally output Is . 6,00 poundsof * Normally tfce Barred Rocks and slm liar breeds la? at six months, dangerous to ha»e them lay any sooner as the eggs will be smaller and the birds are liable *u cease turnin« out eggs if forced too Roon. * =9 All cockerels raised each season except those selected to keep for breeders should be eaten, canned or rnarfceted just as soon aa they are large enough. tJ.oing potatoes which cannot- be majrkcted, as a fattening feed for poultry enables the flock owners to take advantages of a profit that might oth- *rwis'- he lost.

"What did you think of it, Laura?" "It was a beautiful wedding. I don't believe I could have Improved on it," Laura conceded graciously. "How Smlf has1 done It on What the has a year is more than I can understand," Lucy hinted. "The very last letter I had from Bill-Lee said business In South America had gone to pot," she went on; "every year he.had hoped he would make a killing and be able to send Smlf something; but this year there was just no use kidding him- •elf--there wasn't a Chinaman's chance of It." "Bill Lee's way of expressing hlm- •elf--" I^aura began, only to be interrupted by Louise, struck by more than the wording of what was plainly a quotation from their brother: "You can't mean he never has •ent her anything? Why^^ijitEh's .education alone--ana th+s wedding: It jnust have cost a fortune." "Oh, not ao much, perhaps," Laura cut In, characteristically unwilling to borrow trouble, "after all. Susan Phelps helped substantially when she lent Smlf this apartment. I think It was awfully decent of Su •an." Lucy sniffed. *"Susan wasn't entirely dlsln.ter- ««ted. It was one way to make •ure that her precious Pamela would be invited to be a bridesmaid. >She never offered any of us a chance. If Clntra had been marrying a plain, everyday American I doubt If Susan would have been so generous." "Perhaps she's fonder of Smlf than she la of us--" "There's no need of speculating on that," Laura Interrupted Louise, "she let Smlf use it. Hadn't we better go. We'll be the last, If we aren't careful." "That's all right," Laura reassured her. "we're the family. I mean to stay until I've seen Smlf. I've never dared to ask her, and I'm wondering what she'll do with herself now that she's lost Clntra." "Poor old Smlf. It really is a tragedy when you come to think of her side of the affair. You can't ' deny that ahe has given up her whole life to that child. I've said It before and I say It again, Bill-Lee had no right to saddle her with his offspring, young as she was then." Louise looked at Lucy challenge Ingly and Lucy took up the challenge. "Loulae always talks as • if she were the only one who cares for Smlf. I adore her and so do you, Laura. She's the most considerate, the most generous person I know. But neither of un is blind to the unfortunate facts. I shall always Insist that Bill-Lee saved her face by providing (her with an occupation in life when „his wife died." ; "Smlf's going to be awfully lonely," Laura expertly managed to give the effect of agreeing with both of her sisters. "Oh, dear, she was the best-looking of any of us when she was a baby. Why did she have to turn out 'like this? It, makes you feel "too conspicuous for words to take her ground with you. You.all •know What 1 mean. I don't riiind if people stare" at me because' I'm specially well dressed or locking better than usual.

" 1 '/ •'Smlf's complexion^ fine and she has nice eyes with curly lashes," Louise began. ' "No one denies, my dear, that she would be passable If she'd lose a ton or two," Lucy snapped. "Talking about me," a rich, almost unctuous voice declared wltli no uncertainty and the utmost indifference. "Well, what do you suggest that I should do about it?" gates looking for better pasturer 'No,' I sajd, 'she'd not have IrnagV inrtfon enoifgh to think of such a thing."

This suggestion, surprisingly enough, came from Laura. It was more, in Lucy's line, A distinct pause followed. "But of course I didn't," Smlf : turned nonchalantly. Before her audience had grasped the significance of this, a worriedlooking little man "hurried toward the group "My I dear Smlf, Susan has dtov cided to run up to the Manor for the rest of the week.
