This was one of the real reasons behind the enough interest in and demand for a com-hog adjustment program to justify the Agricultural Adjustment new Administration in offering such a program, he says. The referendum is only one step day and Tuesday, October 14th and tural Economics. 15th.

This year the fair is to be held October 21-26, which means that it shall be a new program following , the one which expires on Novem- her 30. First in the investigations underlying the corn-hog programs are the public hearings at which j consumers, processors, farmers, and other interests have a chance to be heard. The next step is the referendum vote among farmers to Both are lovers of beauty, Peter Grimm spending his iffe in the de velopment of flowers while Barry more devotes his leisure to musical composition and sketching. In his character of Peter Grimm, who comes back from the Beyond to remedy the mistakes he has made in life, Barrymore wears no make-up except that his eyebrows have been made a little heavier. By keeping the best cows and by culling the poorer cows as revealed by dairy herd records, members of these associations have widened the spread between their selected stock and the average stock. Last year, for the first time, the average butterfat production of tested cows was a little more than double the average production of all cows. The cost for feeding high pro- Jeremiah is the greatest of the Old Testament, prophets. Bom about 650 B. C. r he lived to see Terusalem destroyed and her peo ple driven into exile. For nearly 40 years he pursued his prophetic career in response to a divine in spiration. Those years were the most significant and tragic in the whole history of God’s people. One student calls this period “The De cline and Fall cf the Hebrew Na tion,” and compares Jeremiah with Washington and Lincoln, both of whom faced similar catastrophes. Now fortunately we know more about Jeremiah’s personality and career than we do about those of any other Bible prophet. He had a devoted biographer, his nephew Baruch, who became his private secretary. As Boswell later wor shipped Dr. Johnson, so Baruch idolized his uncle. The result is that we have spread before us hr the 52 chapters of the prophecy of Jeremiah a complete record of the prophet’s acts and message. And what a prophet! Some one has beautifully called him “The Shadow Christ.” Surely Jeremiah anticipated the gospel of Jesus more fully than any other repre- jsentative of the old dispensation. jTo be sure, he was a rebel, and of ten wailed and screamed. It is to be regretted that so great [a figure should be so little known, and his book so seldom read. One reason for this neglect is that the book is so badly arranged. It con sists of a “conglomeration of prophecies,” as George Adam Smith well says, all thrown together in'a helter-skelter fashion. One of the first duties of the diligent student is to attempt to straighten out this inchoate mass into some semblance of chronological sequence. When this task has been accomplished, the prophecy of Jeremiah at once takes rank as one of the most re warding books in the Bible. fgnstuutio •/>/ Caleb Johnson* 'k.'k ik f Cl VII—THE SUPREME COURT AND ITS POWER is just around the comer.

The earlier attempts at an effective Federation had been handicapped by the lack of any court having jurisdiction outside its own State. The scheme of “checks and bal ances” which the framers of the Constitution set up called for a judicial branch independent of and coequal with the Legislative and Executive. The number of Justices of the Supreme Court is not fixed by the Constitution. Originally there were seven. The number was increased to nine in the administration of President Grant. Thg Constitution does, however, provide that all Federal judges shall be appointed by the President, and shall hold office “during good behavior.” The number of inferior Federal Courts is left to Congress to decide. The power of the Federal Judi ciary, in the language of the Con stitution, extends “to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the Unit ed States, and treaties,” as well as to cases arising from disputes be tween States, or citizens of differ- f 3nt States, and those affecting foreign interests. The great power of the Supreme Court derives from its duty of in terpreting the Constitution. That it might exercise that power to de clare an act of Congress unconsti tutional was foreseen, and accepted as a matter of course, by the framers of the Constitution. The Federal Judiciary system was in tended as a check upon the Legis lative and Executive branches of the Government, to see that neith er of them exceeded the powers specifically granted to them by r,he people in the Constitution. It has been largely through this power of interpretation by the Su preme Court that the power of the Federal Government has grown from its early beginnings.

" In the exercise of its duty to test all laws by the standard of the- Constitution, the Supreme Court, in its 146 years of existence, has passed upon 24,016 public laws en acted by the Congress. In only 59« cases have laws been declared un constitutional, and 27 of those de cisions were unanimous. The tend ency of the Supreme Court throughout its existence has beem to keep the Constitution, through its interpretations, abreast of the* times. The Supreme Court never acts on its own initiative. It passes only upon cases brought before it by litigants, generally on appeal from the lower courts. And when it decides that a law is unconsti tutional its decision is, in effect, a declaration that Congress has tried * to do something that runs contrary ■ to the will of the people, as ex pressed in the document under which Congress, the President and the Court itself derive their pow ers. The Supreme Court itself has no power to enforce its decisions. They are, in effect, self-enforcing, for they are recognized by every court in the land, Federal or State, and by Congress and the Executive, as the final word on the question at issue. When the Supreme Court declares a law unconstitutional, that law ceases to exist. How accurately the Supreme Court reflects the changing public sentiment of changing times is in dicated by the fact that only once has an amendment to the Consti tution resulted directly from an adverse opinion by the Court. That- is the income tax amendment.

This method of stabilizing prices was employed under an agreement for Southern watermelons, which provided that shippers would entirely withhold shipments for not more than 48 hours when markets were overload ed. ments to avoid market gluts and low prices, these limitations apply to the least valuable portion of the crop, which means that a surplus of low-grade products does not: set I the price for quality produce and consumers benefit: by improved; quality.. * * * * * * Fruit and vegetable agreements, through provisions limiting ship ments to products above certain quality standards, benefit both the consumer and the farmer.
