new COMMISSION
Ito Bring PEACE.
Doctor Jordan Declares Continu-
GUS Mediation and ConciIia-
tion Will End War.
TO HOLD MEETING At BERNE
Proposed Commission, IF Established,
Would Create Clearing House or
Center for Peace Discussions
Do Nothing Spectacular.

Washington, Nov. 15.-In formal
statement issued here DR.. David Starr
Jordan, president of Leland Stanford
university, declared his belief that a
permanent commission of continuous
mediation and conciliation, such as
he proposed to President Wilson, will
result in peace being brought about in
Europe.
Jordan's Statement.
DR.. Jordan's statement follows:
There is not necessarily definite
idea that joint peace commission Of
the neutrals could be established be.
fore Christmas, or at any time def
nitely to be set, my remark to the
press being solely to the effect that
that period, traditionally and histori-
cally devoted to the interests Of
peace, would be a good time for think
ing 1t over. There is, however, an un.
official meeting of this kind to be held
at Berne, December IA to Is, at
which time some dozens of the lead.
ing advocates of friendly international
relations will be present, this meet
ing doubtless leading up to the estab-
lishment of the more formal and per-
manent commission of continuous me.
diation and conciliation.
Act as Clearing House.
"The commission, If established,
might not be successful in its main
purposes, though personally feel
sure that it will be. 1t might not short
en- the war directly, but it would Gre
ate a clearing house and center for
peace discussions and for the hopeful
feeling of millions of people who are
sick and tired of collective murder
in every nation Of Europe. 1t would
do nothing spectacular, its work would
be done in quiet and in patience. and
might even not be directly heard Of
by the public at large. Whether the
United States takes part in 1t in any
official capacity or not, however, such
a commission is certain to be estab-
lished."

II one were a'mind to put in some time
on the problem possibly he might add
something to this list of absolute GER
families but perhaps it isn't worth
while. Two things we know are I'M.

prices.

cotton crop and if the boil WeeVil
should destroy it, or even if he should
make big crop and get such prices as
have prevailed thin season, he would
lose mouey--and the bigger his crop
the more money he would lose. The
same thing is true of any other crop.
The farmer should remember that
/ there is no easy road 90 wealth, and If
he VIII look about him he will find
few men anywhere get rich farming.
The beauty about farming is indus
| triouS and wise and who owns his farm
can produce practically everything he
needs for table consumption and for
| the maintaince Of his live stock, poultry
etc., IN his farm. If he farms right,
he will always have pork, beef, mutton,
poultry, eggs, dairy products, Vege.
tables and fruits for home use and
enough besides to bring neat amount
in cash each month.
1 The establishment of a monthly
Market Day in the nearest town, &C.
cording to the outlined by DR.. Dalrym-
pie and being tried out at Baton Rouge
and DonaldSonville, will be of great
assistance in enabling the farmer to
dispose of his surplus farm, garden
poultry and dairy products. In addi'
ton, the experience gained there Will
enlighten him as to the proper methods
of grading, packing and marketing
those articles which command better
prices elsewhere.
The old single.crop farmer finds ii
difficult to get into the swing when
it comes to practiCing diyersification-
for, be it known, that has its pitfalls
also. 1t involves so complete reVol
