Holman, secretary of the National Cooperative Milk Producers association, said here Wednesday night when he ai rived to speak at Land O' Lakes Creameries, annual meeting Thursday.

Holman revealed that Sen. E. D. "Cotton Ed" Smith of South Carolina, chairman of the senate agriculture committee, has "created" a new product with his bill which provides for manufacture of "margarine." The bill provides, Holman said, that "there shall be no tax of any character on manufacturers, wholesalers or retailers of 'margarine' nor on the colored product itself." Passage of the bill would bring ruin to the. dairy farmer, Holman pointed out, mid it would split the present "solid front" that agriculture has built in Washington pitting the cotton seed producer of the south against the soybean grower of the west.

Furthermore, Holman discloses, there are less than 30 companies and 72 plants making oleomargarine and these would compete with an estimated 3,000,000 dairy farmers. "At the present time, pounds of oleomargarine are made annually. Let that figure hit the 800,000,000 mark and it will have a terrific effect on the price of butter. It will definitely hurt the 400,000 butter producers in our states greater than in any other locality," he i I 7 GIRL SCOL'TS WILL CELEBRATE the 32nd anniversary of found-ing of the organization by attending church services in full uniform.

RURAL DISTRICTS LEAD RED CROSS Union Overtime Pay Swells Fund Drive Or.e-fifth of the $1,500,000 Red Cross War fund for Minneapolis and Hennepin county, was raised in the first week of the campaign, it was reported Wednesday night by Frank T.

Meeting will held at Rochester IS, Windom March 14, Morris March 15, Crooks ton March 16, Grand Rapids March 17, and University Farm school March 20. At the meeting Wednesday In offices of division of employment and security, Miller reported on the 1943 program and said Minnesota's mobilization was among the most successful in the nation, having filled over 110.000 farm jobs. He asked approval of a similar program this year. Excellent progress was reported in establishment of agricultural training classes in public schools ef the state's larger cities.

In Minneapolis, more than 350 high school youth have registered for training classes, with 200 more in St. Taul and approximately the same number in Duluth. A survey showed that in Minne apolis there are at least 2,000 high school youths who will be available for farm work without training. The committee discussed an outline for establishment of machinery in each state to control farm help wage rates. It then recommended that Miller, as director of the program, urge farmers voluntarily to maintain present wage levels and to refrain from pirating workers.

Ship Will Be Named for William Hodson Maritime commission Wednesday announced a Liberty ship now under construction at Eethlehem-Fairficld shipyards, Baltimore, will be named for the late William Hodson, Minneapolis-born welfare worker killed in a plane crash in Dutch Guiana, Jan. 15, 1913, while en route to North Africa as a member of the Lehman committee.

The committee, of wnich Dr. Coffey is a member, transmitted its suggestion to the American Council on Education, to be con- in connection with proposed legislation coxenng the subject. Principles outlined by the com-, mittee. Dr.

Coffey said, were: Veterans receiving help from the government to complete their education must be permitted to select the Institution they want to attend. 2" They must be permitted ti choose their own courses cf study. stu 3' establish their own entrance requirements. 4- out 5" Schools must be permitted to set up tneir own curricula with out outside interference. Schools must determine which students participating in the veterans' education program be permitted to continue in school.

Some state -wide educational, body, such as the state board of education in Minnesota, should determine which schools shall participate. The government should pay each veteran-student a reasonable amount for personal expenses, and should pay the school a reasonable amount for its services to him. The committee, said Dr. Coffey, took no stand on any of the measures now before congre and 1 not Indicate any preference as how details of the program should be woi ked out. The principles were laid down fcimply a general guiding linen.

University of Minnesota already has 50 students who are returned veterans of this war. Dr. Coffey said, and with a national total of about 60,000 returning each month, number at the university is likely to grow rapidly. The executive rommiltr urged the council on eduration to see that some Irgilation set ting up a national program for veterans education should be enacted without delay. Many universities and college! are experiencing serious decline la enrolment because of withdrawal of army specialized training program students.

HERE ARE THE ANSWERS 1 They could but they'd hate to. "Bring-'Em-Back-AIive" Frank Buck told me, shortly after his first baby was born, "I've already become the world's champion diaper-changer." I wonder if the baby agreed with Frank? Still a man who could tie a live tiger's legs would seem pretty well qualified for this highly Involved and intricate job. Most of the great cooks have been men and they have invented most of the new dishes.

But I hadn't better brag too much for fear the women may ask us men to demonstrate our remarkable abilities. No. Unless you carry it to an extreme it is the best means known of self-development indeed the only way you can develop an all-round "social self." Unless your aim in life is a healthy, active part-nership in the lives of others the chances are good that jou will become neurotic. The neurotic is always thinking of himself and for that reason cannot achieve the very self-development he craves.

"Balanced Personality," F. Alexander Magoun, says (paia- phrased): "The parent thinks he Is an expert on human behavior because he can reward or punish a child; the teacher, because lie can pass or flunk a pupil, the executive, because lie can hire or fire employes. People admit they are Ignorant of chemistry and physics but don't realize this is because they can't control the behavior of molecules. Deprive parents, teachers, executives, of their power to control people's behavior and they will at once recognize how little they know about it." True as gospel. i declared.

"In the final analysis, these farmers will be forced to try some other business where competition isn't as devastating. Eutter sets the price of all dairy products and if that falls, everything goes with it. "Cotton seed and soybean oil are now used in great quail-tities in making oleomargarine. After the Mar, the cheaper foreign markets will flood this country with oils and if Hie bars are down, what's to stop oleomargarine interests from controlling the domestic field?"

Announcement the government has stepped up the 1911 quota for whole milk powder to 100,000,000 pounds was made by Zakariasen.

Quota for 1943 was 40,000,000 pounds, he said. The increase was ordered, he de- clared, following a survey which disclosed that 70 per cent of sol- idiers prefer a milk drink.
