(Continued from Page 13-l to it that America kept her boise when all the rest of the world seemed to have lost it's boise. Only upon the terms of retaining that boise and using the splendid force which al- ways comes with boise can we hope to play the benefcent part in the his tory of the world which I have just now intimated. So. my fellow country men, build upon those new roads, in the construction of which the Federal government now is to play sol arge a part, the spirit of nationality, the spirit of cooperation, the spirit of liberty, the power which only a free people knows how to exercise" :. Address to Farmers
 Tn his second speech, before gath ering or farmers here, President Wil- son said in part:
 ''It is clearly the legitimate func- ton, if it be not the clear duty, of the Federal government to see that in struction in scientific agriculture is widespread as it is possible to make | it but obviously it also is its duty to see that men are trained in other vo- cations, in the mechanical 'callings. in all those great multiforms of industry which have made this country rich and by reaction have tended to mako the | farmer himself rich. "In proportion as this country grows 1 in population, we can supply the rest l of the world in food in amal1er and smaller quantities unless we increase our production per acre, and we ought | to continue to feed the world. Not merely in order that our farmers may get rich, but in order that we might acouit ourselves like men of knowledge I and men of efficiency.
 "But not only does the Agricultural department conduct demonstrations on the farms, but 1t has lately. within the last three years, undertaken to do what if never did before-acquaint the far 1 mer with his markets. their where abouts their prices, the means of ac- | cess to them, methods of co-opera- ton which ought to make access easier than it is If there Is no cooperation. | and has undertaken, in a great bu- reau of markets, to guide the busi- nesslike farmer in selling crops at the greatest advantage and where they are most needed. And along with that has gone the very interesting de- velopment of the parcels post, where by the more perishable kinds Of farm products can be rapidly shipped and l distributed In moderately small quan- tities."
 l Beneficial Laws for Farmers. | The President then spoke of the ad- yantages of the Federal Reserve Act, the Rural Credits Act, the Warehouse Act. and the Grain Standards Act, saving all have been if immense ben eft to the farmers. | Don't you think that that is an in teresting story? There is the story came to tell you, and l am going to say in your private ear that am per sonally proud to tell it because was personally privileged to have a. great deal to do with 1t. Do not misunder- stand me. am not claiming the credit for this, I am simply wanting to tell you how proud I am to have had a part in it.
 l "I do not apparently do much more than sign bills, but I always know what is in them before I sign them, and it will be ell the rest of my life matter of pride that I was privileged to play a part in serving the farmers to be better farmers and to be real business men. They were at a fatal disadvantage in the field of credit; they were at fatal disadvantage in the field of distribution of their prod ucts; they were at a disadvantage as compared with farmers in other coun- tries in respect to the scientific meth ods of farmers. Now most of these things have been corrected At any rate, we have made the beginning, and it only depends upon our energy and | intelligence how much we make of 1t.
 Mans Supreme Pleasure.
 "A man is happy, I take 1t, in pro- portion as he accomplishes something. Some people think they are happy in proportion as they do nothing. Some people, as a witty acquaintance of mine said, devote themselves to ex- pense regardless of pleasure. They do
 not know what pleasure is. The su- preme human pleasure, it seems to me. is to do something worth doing
 the way it ought to be done.
