Farm Facts.
By Peter Radford. National Lecturer,
Farmers Educational & Cooperative
Union Of America.

Those who till the soil are the
chosen people of God.
Farming is as old as the hui
man race and is yet in itsinfancy'
Success is bound to come to the
farmer who plans while he plows.
No civilization has ever ad'
vanced beyond its agricultural
development.
\ No farmer is successful who
thinks more of his barn than he
does of his home.
The development of the farmer
himself must precede the full de-
velopment of the ground he tills.
The most beautiful fact in the
farmers work is that everything
he plants is a lesson in faith.
The best farmer does not
bother about getting ahead OF
his neighbor; his great business
is to get ahead of himself.
We must give to the people
who live on the farm the same
educational advantages for their
children as those of the cities
enjoy.
The country clergy is an agency
of much potentiality because the
rural life movement is religious
as we'll as industrial and social.

There should be a social and
an industrial survey of every
community. The pastor, the
teacher and the school and church
officials are they who should
make such survey.
In a recent survey of a COM
munity in New England, the
average annual income of 154
farmers who has a common school
education was 1929, while the
average net income of 122 farm
ers of the same locality with q
high school education was $4S2
annually. This was worth to
each farmer who possessed il
$3.50 each year.

Deaths in Mines

Washington.-In line with its cam paign 10 reduce the number of deaths in the mines of the United States. the federal Bureau of Mines some time ago appointed committee of eminent physicians and surgeons to develop an efficient method of resuscitation to be administered by miners or other per sons to a fellow workmen overcome by electric shock or by gases in places which cannot be reached by physician or surgeon in time 10 save life.
 As a result of this committed report just made, the Bureau of Mines, through Director Joseph A. Holmes, recommends the following procedure in rendering first aid to those in need of artificial respiration
 The recommendation apply not only to men who are overcome by electric shock or gases in mines, but also Co persons suffering from the effects of inuminating.gas poisoning or from electric shock anywhere. The recom- meudajions are, therefore, of import. ance to many thousands of workmeu:
 In case of gas poisoning, remove vic tim at once from the gaseous atmos- phere. Carry him quickly to fresh ar and immediately give manual artificial respiration. Do not stop to loosen clothing. Every moment of delay is serious
 1 In case of electric shock, break eIec tric current instantly. Free the Pa- tieut from the current with a single quick motion, using any dry non con- ductor, such as clothing, rope or board, to remove patient or wire. Beware of using any metal or moist material. Meantime have every effort made to shut off current.
 Attend instantly to the victims breathing. If the victim is not breatt- ing, he should be given manual ar'i fcial respiration at once.
 If the patient is breathing slowly and regularly, do not give artificial re-pir- atiou, but let nature restore breathing unaided
 In gas cases, give oxygen. If ihe patient has been victim of gas, give him pure oxygen, with manual artificial respiration.
 The oxygen may be gwen through a breathing bag from cylinder having a reducing valve, with connecting tubes and face mask, and with au inspiratory and an expiratory valve, of which the latter communicates directly with the atmosphere.
 No mechanical artificial Iesuscilation device should be used unless one oper- ated by baud that has no suction effect on the lungs.
 Use the Schaefer or prone pressure method of artificial respiration. Begin at once A moments delay is seriols.
 Continue the artificial expiration. If ueCesSdIy " Oou1lHuc '"O "ou'7 VI longer without interruption until natural breathing Is restored. If nat ural breathing stops after being le- stored, use artificial respiration again.
 Do not give the patient any liquid until he is fully conscious.
 Give him fresh air, tut keep his body  warm.

THE POWER OF THE EXECUTIVE.

All the progress that has been made in popular

the power of the present English monarch to how
the nations executive has been humbled in heredi.

the state But it took centuries of struggle to make
the monarch royal nonentity.
Before the British monarch had lost his traditional
powers the American colonies reyolted and won their
freedom But the sentiment that had fought for
absolutism in England largely existent in the
United States, and it was known Toryism. In
the making of the federal Constitution this sentiment
represented by Alexander Hamilton, who wanted
monarchical form of government. He and other
prominent reactonaries of that day succeeded, how
ever, in investing the President with more powers
than monarchs. He could make all the federal ap-
pointments 1t required that Congress could
his veto only by two-thirds vote, be could
his cabinet responsible only to himself, he was
commander-in-chief of the army and navy and he APP
pointed all the judges of the federal courts No
monarch In Europe has these powers.
If national convention should be held to make
new Constitution the power exercised by the
President would be clipped The veto power is
only curb upon legislation. The veto by the
President is virtually absolute. The appointive power
after the government organized was comparatively
small Now it is colossal And today it being used
without scrupe to stife conscience patriotism in
Congress and commit this country to policy of self
injury and national dishonor. We reaping
the fruits of Tory influence in the making of the
federal Constitution, and those astute monarchists

which the committee and it's assist

The plant exchange has been held
for five years, and the results are
far-reaching. In unexpected places
gardens have sprung up, bringing to
the owners thereof that peculiar
pleasure and healthful exercise that
come with the care of a garden, and
adding fresh beauty to the town. The
exchange brings with 1t the joy of
giving, and some continue to work
individually throughout the season.
One woman in a single year dis
tributed from her beautiful garden
eleven hundred plants. And no one
is left out from giving. A single
geranium received one year yields n
slip to be sent to the next exchange
The cost? So far the exchange has
been conducted entirely without ex-
pense. The originator has always
offered the use of the plot in front of
his greenhouses: no charge has
been made for the use of a horse and
wagon; the local papers have refused
money for printing the notices, and
pretty posters have been made by in
terested friends.
Is an exchange practicable for other
places? Yes; any town should be
able to have one, 1t need not be con-

THE MASS MEETING TOMORROW NIGHT.
JAMES SMITH, JR.
FOUNDED MARCH /. 1882.

There should be twenty thousand men besieging
~ Kruger Auditorium tomorrow night at the mass
meeting arranged protest against the ignominous
surrender of the sovereign power of this nation over
the Panama canal. The emergency now presented at
washington appeals to the interests and patriotism
of every citizen and be he ever engrossed in his
private affairs the citizen fail to be aroused
to the peril that laundering diplomacy and timfd
and yielding foreign policy invite for country.
(, In many simple minds there has been satisfied
belief that a President of the United States would
not sop0se anything derogatory TO the welfare and
EhNeI of the nation. 1t is historical fact that more
sri has been done nations by rulers who had good
LntIons with mistaken ideas than by despots and
OILS in authority Power also has turned the heads

Sunnumbered woes on mankind The most obstinate
Of rulers is the who has learned his statecra in
the academy and not by actual experience His ideas
are taken from textbooks he Is not in touch with the
sentiment that moves the masses and he has only
academic idea of nations patriotism. Such thing
as national honor is subordinate in his mind to the
exgency of temporary policy
The courage that Cleveland had when he flung
back the naughty note of Lord Salisbury is not the
closet. and Cleveland was not bred in closet and
among books. In him the heart of the nation spoke
and his courage saved the Monroe Doctrine, which
may not survive the present administration.
When Benedict Arnold, in whom the people had
every confidence, attempted to surrender West Point
to British to strike mortal blow at the patriot
cause, he had the strong sympathy of every Tory
and today man with Tory proclivities is on the
side of England and the transcontnental railroads

patriotic citizens we have in New Jersey cannot be
ESTIMATED but the meeting tomorrow night should
show that they are as scarce hens teeth in the

a plant exchange is an arrangement
whereby those who wish to have
plants for n garden may get them
free of COST where those who have
more plants than they need may dis
pose of them in a useful way, and
where those who have an abundance
of one variety may exchange part of
it for something else that they want
The idea originated in q New Jer-
sey town at a meeting of the Town
Improvement Association One of the
members, who is a scotsman and
florist, said that he knew of many
persons in the town who wasted good
plants each spring because they knew
of no way to dispose of them. He
further said that plants in hardy
garden increase rapidly and the roots
must occasionally be separated As
rule. the garden cannot be enlarged,
and the surplus roots and bulbs are
thrown away.
After discussing the matter thor
oughly the association decided that q
plant exchange was worth trying, so
they appointed a committee to put
the plan into execution, with the orig
inator of the idea as chairman.
Early each spring the executive
board of the Improvement Associa-
ton calls a meeting for the purpose
of appointing q committee to take
charge of the exchange. The time
usually chosen is during the first
week in May, and as soon as the
date is definitely fixed by the COM
mittee posters are placed in prom
| inent places and an appeal for dona-
tons is made through the local news
papers. Then the townspeople go into
| their gardens to see what they can
| spare.
! Early on the day of the exchange
n man with horse and wagon coll
! lects the various materials, which
/ are taken to the place OF distribution.
| where they are put. in order to await
| the opening of the exchange at
o'clock in the afternoon.
| OF variety there seems TO be no end.
| There are shrubs and vines, dozens OF
sturdy roses and stately irises, huge
clumps of chrysanthemums, asters,
godenglow and hollyhocks, barrel
| filed with tuberose bulbs, boxes of
! cannas, several hundred peony roots,
| rows and rows of geraniums, sweet
! forget-me-not lilies of the valley,
| hundreds of pink and white English
! daisies and apparently hundreds of
pansies.
To arrange aaG distribute the
| plants Is no small task, so the COM
! nittee selects for assistants persons
who know something of plants and
gardening. These distributors go to
! the exchange an hour before the tim
| set for the opening. carrying with
/ them great bundles of newspapers to
be used for wrapping the plants.
As to the distribution. it is case
/ of first come, first served" Those in
! charge decide the amount to be given
/ to each person, but as rule no one
/ wants much of one variety. and
plants are freely given as long as
! the supply lasts. The exchange is
| open until o'clock.
1t Is a great day for the town. this
meeting together through a common
J bond-the love of fiowers~ Rich and
poor young and old, with the fever
of planting upon them, come from all
| parts of the town, bringing baskets,
express wagons, wheelbarrows, any
! thing that will hold a few plants.
Many questions are asked" How
should this be planted?" what will
this look like when 1t blooms n How
