One relief step already was In ef- fect—the reduction by 50 per cent of freight rates on live stock and feed in and out of the drought areas. In or der to the new rates directly available where they are needed ar- rangements were made for the De partment of Agriculture to certify to the railroad companies of each state where the drought is sufficiently acute to justify them. Any dealer or farm- er desiring to move any of the emer gency commodities reports his needs to the local county agent, who may ap prove or disapprove the application and notify the local station agent of the railroad. A special liaison officer in Washington handles negotiations on particular cases between the De- partment of Agriculture and the rail. roads. It is believed that use of the coun- ty agents, who are under the Depart- ment of Agriculture, will prevent any- one taking speculative advantage of the lower rates, Following his conference with the governors, the President met the heads of the National Grange, the Farmers’ union and the American Farm Burean federation. Chairman Legge of the federal farm board also was in Wash- ington, having hurried back from the Northwest by plane.

OTHER ROBLEMS Y * % - By Mrs, Darathy Coffeen Respecting Children’s Taste N OLLY, aged seven, utterly refuses to wear a new dress which moth. er has purchased for her. In Mother's opinion it Is one of the prettiest Molly has ever had, but apparently Molly differs from her. Whenever the wear- ing of It is suggested, ghe bursts into tears and begs to be allowed to wear something else instead. At first, Moth- er insists and puts it on in spite of protests. She wouldn't have a daugh- ter with such foolish ideas! But force hasn't worked. For some unknown reason Molly suffers in that dress, Something must be done. The dress could be discarded, but “What a waste to encourage, what a beginning for crotchets and predju- dices!" thinks Mother. Taking for granted that she has been falr and made every attempt to ascertain Just what feature of the dress Is so dis tasteful and has been unable to dis cover any single one, it Is evident that it ie the dress as a whole that is dis liked. And, by the way, there is no reason to suppose that seven-year-olds haven't a very decided taste. In the of this new may be some reason Molly her. self cannot explain.

Helpless adults stand by and thrust upon him the usual threats, promises and futile questions. "Why, Frederick,” they exclaim, “Don’t you want te go to school? Dovr’t you like school? Don't you like all the children, and the games, and nice teacher?” “Noooooooooo I” returns Frederick, in a note that implies that he thinks the children pests, the games a bore and the teacher an ogre. “Noooo00000o, I don’t want to go to school.

Assuming that the situation has been carefully investigated and that there are no vigible “ghosts in the closet,” an experience of complete revelation might be profitable for Frederick.
