Missouri, but in making the an
nouncement he did not resign
from the Missouri Public Service
Commission.

which should be protected from

man of this commission his per-

AS a candidate, his actions
henceforth will be watched as

those opposed to him politically,
and in the very nature of things
his routine of work will be view

Mr.. Atkinson should not place
the Missouri Commissions work

.cording to Frederick Palmer,
American war correspondent,
who has Just returned to London
after a trip through Belgium. In
speaking Of the aid which Amer
leans are giving through The
Commission for Relief in Bel
GUM, Mr.. Palmer says:
"The one thing you want after
you have been in Belgium a few
days is to get out of Belgium for
the sake of your nerves. Bel
GUM is a house with sealed doors
where a family of 1000, 900 sits
in silence around a cheerless
hearth thinking of nothing but
the war and feeling nothing but
the war. America opened the
window with her neutral hand
and slipped a loaf of bread into
the larder. War in the trenches
is cheerful beside Belgium. In
Belgium a bread line with a
background of the ruins of Lou
vain is only one of hundreds of
haunting pictures.
"There is something in the
very atmosphere of Belgium
which is ghostly and which
speaks of the repression of a CIV
ilized people under military re-
straint and unable to give voice
to their thought, unable to move
from one town to another. The
people are praying for a day of
deliverance.

that if the Germans take any Of

work will cease instantly and the
whole world will be told the rea-

"If the relief should cease
there would be riots. The people
would throw themselves on the

would be scenes in Belgium

other horrors of this war insig-

Next to food, shelter is prob
ably the most important neces-
sity of life. In considering the
farmers income, however, a
common error in the past has
been to ignore the question of
house rent. The value of the
house has usually been included
in the value of the land and the
whole considered as capital in
vested on which interest must be
paid before the farmer can be re-
garded as receiving any pay at
all. This method, however, as

with whom it is not unusual
to pay out from one-third to one
of his entire wages for

astonishing.
According to the recent inveSti-
cation, if the average farmer
had to pay rent, his home would
cost him $125 a year. This fig
ure represents ten per cent of
the value Of the average house.
Including interest, depreciation
and repairs, this is regarded as a

affairs or the risk and RESPONSE

Quoted by experts in the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture shows that is many cases
this reward may best be found
in the products with which his
farm furnishes him directly.
When a farm is nearly, if not
quite, self-sustaining, say agri-
cultural experts, when it sup
plies the family that lives upon
it with most Of the necessities Of
life, a large money income is not
necessary to prosperity, A
greater sum derived from a farm
which yields nothing for home
consumption may leave the oc-
cupants much worse off.
Under the title of Farmers
Bulletin 635, "What the Farm
Contributes Directly to the
Farmers Living" the Depart
ment Of Agriculture is about to
publish the results of a survey of
conditions on a large number of
farms in the ten States of North
Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Kan
sas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, New York, and Yer
mont. The farms selected for
study, though possibly a little
more prosperous than the aver
age, were fairly representative
of their sections which it will
be noted, included three corn and
cotton areas, two States in the
corn and wheat belt, two regions
where general farming was car
ried on, and three different dairy
districts, The average value of
the chief necessities of life
food, fuel, oil, and shelter-used
each year by the farm family
the Investigators found to be
$595.08, Of these necessities
estimated in money, h eportion
contributed directly by the farm
was $421.17, leaving $173.91 to
be purchased with the cash OBJ
tanned from the sale of pro-
ducts. In considering these fig
ures it must be remembered that
if the farmer had been compelled
to pay city prices for his home
grown necessities, this $421.17
would have represented much
less comfort.
? Of the food consumed 60 per
cent was furnished by the farm.
This proportion varied greatly in
the different sections but was
greatest in the locality studied
in North Carolina, where the
farms supplied 1913 per cent of
the food consumed while the
average in the New York locality
was only 50,4, In view of the
present economic crisis in the
South this fact is regarded as of
particular significance since it
demonstrates the extent to
which with a proper system of
agriculture Southern farms can
be made self-sustaining. Concen-
tratiOn upon one cash crop, cot
