Farm Facts,

Farmers succeed only through ability
energy, cfzoperation.a and useful effort.
The know-it-al in agriculture is like
fruit-the soonest ripe the soonest
spoiled;
Reduced to its lowest terms, good
flaming is, good reading, good thinking
and good work.
The problem to deal with is not the
high cost OF living but the high cost of
marketing.
The farm problem is~everycne's prob
lem. What affects the farmer also az
fects the consuming public.
Give the farmer a square deal and a
chance to prosper and OUT rural prob
lens will solve themselves.
The average market basket has 81
cents worth Of leaks in it. The pro-
ducer gets only 4s cents of the con-
sumers dollar.
The rise and fall Of prices is depend
ent upon market conditions. A pros-
percus agriculture depends on a good
market.
The drudgery of oid-iine farming has
embittesed many a farmer with his
calling and induced him to give up the
fight and move to town.
There Is no nobler task in civilization
building a home.
In a certain mining town there is a
physician who is NEST heartily loved

agement Of Public Schools.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Lack of undi.
vided support from the board of edu-
cation was given by Mrs Ella Flagg
Young as the reason why she with
drew her name as a candidate for re-
election to the superintendency of the
public schools.
After a vote which failed to elect
her, Mrs. Young retired from the race
and John d. Shoop, assistant saperin-
tendent was selected on the second
ballot to succeed her.
She explained her action in the fol
lowing words:
Il think everyone here believes the
duties of the superintendent of schools
to be properly administered need all
the strength and support of the board
That superintendent who needs more
than one ballot to elect her would not
have the support required in the
superintendent work
wherefore, | withdrew my name as
candidate. | took the action of the
board last July In good faith | find
| misunderstood that action. When
one finds a mistake has been made
the thing to do is to rectify it. Moth
ing now could make me permit my
name to be used for the superintend-
ency.'
Last July, when Mrs. Young failed
to receive the unanimous support of
the board of education, she presented
her resignation. A few days later she
withdrew it at the request of the
board

ceived salary of $4,000 a year.

A COMMISSION is FAVORED
Interstate Body to Regulate Corpora.
tions and Make lnvestiqa-
tions Is Advocated
in Scheme.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Conferences
with the six Democratic members o.
the house judiciary committee tended
to make clear President Wilson's at
titude on trust legislation in the pres
ent congress. His chief desire is to
illuminate the twilight zone" Of cor
poration activity, so that big business
may know what it may and may not
do. and thus remove the element o
uncertainty as far as possible.
The measures to be advanced fol-
action at this session will aim at the
following results:
Definition of the various forms oi
monopoly and restraint of trade which
would be "conclusively deemed" un
reasonable and in violation of law
Placing upon the defendant the bur
den of proof to show that there is nc
unreasonable restraint of trade"
Prohibition of interlocking directo
rates between corporations.
Establishment of an interstate trade
commission TO exercise regulatory
powers, make original investigation
and aid the courts in carrying out de-
crees Of dissolution of trusts.
This measure was the subject of
much of the discussion and members
of the committee will take up it's pro.
visions for further consideration.
The house committee will begin
work at once on the preliminary draft
of the bills, but the members will
seek further discussions with the
president over the form of the meas
ures before completing them for sub
mission to the house.

HEARING CALLED
ON INDIANS
Especial to the AppeaD

WASHINGTON, May 24-Today
is the date for the hearing OF Senator
Lane of Oregon, on the Indian bill.
Last week Senator Lane declared that
$0,00OOOO appropriated for Indian
support was SO loosely given that In
dain AGENTS might spend the entire
sum in insect powder if they so elect
ed.
He cited one instance where 10000
was appropriated for Indians in Ore
gon and the aborigines received $429,
the other $500 having been expended
in administration.
Senator Lane cited instances where
Indians received only Al cents per
month, while the highest sum paid
was 81 cents, and declared that he
would not treat a dog in that man
ner. 1t was a shock to Senatorial
procedure. but the Oregon man had
his way, and the matter went over un-
til to-day
Senator Lane SAYS Indians are taxed
for bridges and irrigation and deserve
better treatment than they receive. Ii
is not likely that the question will be
settled for two or three days.
