THE CALL TO THE FARM.

n Secretary Wilson is right in his
conclusions but little hope exists for
lower prices In foodstun i'm the i'm.
mediate future. Notwithstanding the
prospects for q bumper crop, the sec
retary is inclined To- the belief that
foodstuffs are found to be high. lie
points out that the population OF the
country is increasing faster than the
crop acreage and that the number OF
people who have gone into profession
al and business pursuits Is large
than those who have embarked IN
farming.
This would suggest that now Is the
time to get farm. II the prices OF
farm produce are TO continue at a
high level and the ranks of the pro-
duccrs continue to be depleted rela-
lively, at least. the profits In farming
must Increase or at least remain sta
Bile. Should the prospect Of bumper
crop not be fulfilled, the greater rel-
son will exist for good returns for
what the farmer raises
The tendency away from the farms
pointed out by Secretary Wilson has
received constant impetus Of late
| years in the high wages demanded
and received In all the manual trades,
in the steadily increasing fees and
salaries received by the professional
and Clcrkly class and in the higher
cost of the necessities of life. This
last might seem paradoNical as a rea-
son for cnticing people from the
farms where they are supposed to
earn their own living to the towns
whore living costs more; but closer
observation dispels the paradox. Pco-
pie leave the farm for town because
of the profits they surmise exist in
trade They argue that one OF the
causes of the high cost of living in
town Is the great gain Of the shop.
| Keepers and anxious to part ipate In
these, they quit the furrow for the
paycments.
That business career is more allur.

farm life IS not to be- disputed. but
that it is more profitable, all thing
considered may well Dee questioned.

Washington. April 2.-That an at torney for the Electric Boat company was pressing. or hearing down" upon members of congress in reference to submarine boat l egislation. was the charge made today before the special committee of the house Investigating the charges against the Electric Boat Company The charge was made by Frank l.. Edinborough of Bay City. Michigan. a state senator and former private secretary, to Congressman Loud of that state and a member of the house committee on naval affairs. Edinborough testified that the at tOrney in question was A. G. Gordon. and that the member of congress whom he was pressing was Loud. Ed inbOrough was not a willing witness. At first he refused to answer certain questions on the ground that they were confidential, owing to the fact that
 he had been private secretary to MT.
 Loud. but Mir. Loud released him from such obligations, and he then told his story.
 F,dinborough produced an anonv- nous letter which he said he received at Bay City Feb r from Washington, stating that Loud voted for the $41.- 416 graft in the naval committee
 There was a story in circulation thai the Holland people had secured prominent attorney to become a can

His testimony diff fers only in the following particular: While taking lunch at the Waterbury Club someone present asked me what would happen if the committee report ed adversely. It was at that moment. as l remember. that Taylor entered the room and he heard only my re- ply which was, that in the event of an adverse report l would still have the privilege of making an argument on the floor of the house and present my side of the case"

 Before half the people of Phoenix get interested in their morning Repub- lican over thirty automobiles will be on the way to Buckeye carrying some thing over hundred Phoenix people who will participate in the big barbe- cue today. Carriages with half as many left yesterday afternoon and were supposed to have arrived there last evening The slogan today is "On to Buckeye and before it's echo dies away there will be hundreds gathered at the big feast. The Buckeye people themselves will all assemble to greet the visitors so q good sized gathering is assured
 Before the leaving of the carriages yesterday afternoon W. R. Blackmer was te!ephOned to and asked if the Buckeye people could accommodate so many for the. night He replied that all Phoenix had to do was to send the people. Buckeye would take care of them even if the home folks and home builders had to sleep in the haymow or tho corral. Incidentally MT. Black CT was told that he need not come fur ther toward Phoenix in the capacity
 
 unless he wanted to. All the Phoenix chauffcurs know the road that far and Mr Rlackmer will meet them there this morning and pilot the lead auto mobile down through the farm land over the route of travel selected.
 Two large public conveyances left the board Of trade room yesterday aft eTnOon early. carrying twenty-five peo- pie.

There were at least four large cars vet to to hear from and it is hoped they will also be ready to join the procession this morning.
