THEMISTOCLES

When Themistocles was asked by
his host at a dinner party to enter
tain the guests by playing the lutte, he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make small
town a great city. We have in this
nation many politicians who are good
"nddlers," but they cannot make a
small town a great city. We are over
run with orators who can play upon
the passions of the people, but they
can't put brick and mortar together
We need builders.
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
glory Of a statesman is to construct,
and that it is better for a man that he
should build a public highway than
that he should become Governor of
state, and that he start a pillow than
that he become the author of a law.
The true test of craftsmanship is the
plow and the hammer, so let those
who would govern. frst build.

THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There Is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
of agriculture will not be attained
until 1t is solved, for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti'
buttons have spent $1S0,000,O00 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture.
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it. 1t is a problem which the
farmers, merchants. bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is In farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing, but does not be.
lleve in promoting one to the neglect
OF the other. We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and com.
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
lnfnlnnR should hn nvt IN n
marketing side of our farm problems
also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-,
featuring by over-production of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan.
tile enterprises by the merchants load.
ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul.
ture by Cutting the market with a
surplus Of products.

FREE PORTS
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo-
PRIATIoNs.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation ia now entering upon
an era Of marine development. The
wreckage OF European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen In foreign ports. If
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion OF our ports for the pro-
ducts Of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $51,000.-
600 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $50,000,000
annually In wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries Laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is SO
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that of a free port
and none can be more easily and ef
fectively secured.

FoTMER governor, Jas. H.
Hawley says: The people
should bear in mind that their
taxes are fixed by their school
authorities, their village and
city governments, their county
commissioners and the legis-

says the same thing-because
it is true. And the time for
the people to bear those
words in mind is especially
when they are choosing their
school and village authorities,
their county commissioners
and their representatives to

HEALTH TALKS
(By DR.. r. r. Daniels.)
Summer Health.

All Of our seasons are healthful.
The body is self-adiusting machine;
with good care it has the power to
accommodate itself to the various
changes incident to the different sea-
sons. So TO have good health In hot
weather 1t is only necessary TO take
good care of the body; 1t is necessary
to avoid the things which make it
difficult for the body to adjust itself
TO increased temperature conditions.
The most important factor in keep
Ing the oody well in hot weather is
the food. In order that the body
may adjust itself to warm weather
after 1t has been accustomed TO cold
weather. there must be some change
10 the diet. During the cold weather
the body has to keep Itself warm In
the face Ct winter winds and zero
weather which requires great deal
OF fond. IL hut weather this food IS
unnecessary, consequently, our hot
weather dIet must contain a small
amount Of heavy food as compared
with our cold weather diet. If we
eat two much heavy food In hot
weather we force the body to manu-
fIcture too much heat, and this eX-
cessive inward heat makes it impos-
$ be for the body to adjust itself to
climatic conditions. Summer stom :
ach and bowel disorders, bilious
fevers, aud even typhoid fever, are
thu results OF eating too many winter
foods in hot weather. Our hot
weather diet should contain Just a
small amount Of bread, meat and DO
tatoes, hut an abundance of green
vegetables, either cooked or in salad
fam, also an abundance OF fruit
In order that The body may adjust
Itself To hot weather We must keep
the skin in good condition. Our un-
derclothing must be very light so that
the skin may know at all times of the
changes In the outside temperature
A daily sponge bath in tepd water,
followed by "A thorough rubbing OF
the skin, taken either in the morning
or on first getting up, or before going
10 bed at night, will keep the skin in
active condition, keep the pores open,
and 90 long way toward helping us
TO stand the heat.

Guillaume was dragged from the

Even then the anger of the people
