HOW FARMERS ARE SERVED


Kansas City Star: Carl S. vroo-
man. assistant United States secretary
OF agriculture, spoke recently at the
Farmers Day exercises at the Dayiess
county (Mo) chautauqua. Mr.. Vroo-
man, himself a Missouri farmer boy,
and proud of 1t. carried message OF
congratulation' TO the farmers on the
consideration they are being given in
the nation. " IN VI
In the last three years" Mr. Vroo-
man said. "the government has passed
the Smith-Leyer bill, which will put
a deputy secretary OF agriculture. com
monty called county agent. in every
county IN the United States. to show
individual farmers how to make the
science Of agriculture boost the busi-
ness OF farming.
1T has created a new bureau called
the office Of markets and rural organ
ization. to see to it that wheat, corn,
cotton and hogs have equal marketing;
advantages with fabrics and steel.
During its first fifty years the depart
ment Of agriculture devoted virtually
all itg time and money to showing the
farmer how to increase his yields
This is the first administration that
has made determined effort to show
the farmer how to get satisfactory
prices for those yields. Former ad-
ministrations have shown the farmer
how to fight the boil weevil. the
chinch bug, the army worm and other
insect pests. But this Is the first ad-
minIstration that has dared to make
common cause with the farmer
agaspst the psaEery naastransportation
shark. the fake middle man and the
other human pests who in the past
have grown rich on the produce Of the
farmers toll.
"0ther important recent legislative
enactments in the interest of the far
mer are the warehouse bill. which en-
ables the farmer to morrow money on
stored grain; a bill appropriatfng s.
million dollars for good roads; pro

What Wilson did in the railroad
controversy was to resort to compul-
sory arbitration through congressional
action when his plans for voluntary
settlement OF the issue failed. The
eight-hour law win be given tryout
and il it proves unsatisfactory there
will be ample opportunity for further
negotiations. Through the presidents
efforts terrible industrial war has
been averted, with all its consequent
losses to the public. 'and that is the
point that is of chief concern to the
majority OF the people in this country.

Striking enough is the contract be-
tween the receptions accorded TO Can.
didate Hughes and the demonstrations
evoked by the presence Of Woodrow
wilson during the recent travels Of
the two men. The failure OF Mr..
Hughes to arouse popular enthusiasm
must be a disappointment to his fol-
lowers. Moreover, the manner in
which the president Is being received
indicates that the verbal assaults
which his opponent is making upon
his administration is falling on deaf
ears.

SHOE weARERs MUST
"PAY THE PRICE"

A side effect Of the far-away war
that interests every man. woman and
child is the announcement Of the fact
that shoes must this season advance
in price.
The generally reported scarcity OF
leather and increased cost Of tanning
since the war, combined with an enor-
mously increased demand for leather,
all account for the advanced cost of
footwear.
Millions OF pairs of shoes for the
European armies have been and still
are being made by American shoe
manufacturers. On the average, these
army shoes consume one and one-half
as much leather as the average Amer
ican mans shoes.
Knapsacks, saddles, harnesses and
other material for the armies at war
and a general increase in equipment Of
the American army and state militia
account for still further demand on
the none too large supply of leather.
Munitions plants have called for
thousands OF feet Of leather betting
and the general picking up of business
has started thousands of factories
wheels and greatly augmented the call
for betting.
Autos have also made great and in
creasing inroads into the available
leather supply for upholstering.
Leather is by-product. The supply
cannot be increased at will as crops
and metals are, but is dependent on
the hide supply; and cattle are not
killed. primarily, for their hides.
The latest census reports show that
the cattle population has decreased
20 per cent in the last ten years, and
the population has increased the same
percentage, VI
Ssoes, therefore, are to be more ex-
pensive. 1t is said that the increase
for the present wiz be about 20 per
cent. but will likely be more by next

we're that this unusual number of cor

failure to properly prepare the school

the several communities in this state
to Join with the teachers and school

school buildings and grounds in sani-

GIANT POWER OF THE HEART
Marvellous Work Performed by That
Organ Described by Doctor

DR.. J. Strickland Goodall illustrates
heart in a striking way, remarks an
exchange.
Take a two-pound weight in the

upon a table, and raise and lower 1t
from the level of the elbow to the
shoulder. This Is exactly the work
done by the heart at each beat. Do
this about seventy or eighty times q
minute and see how long you can keep
1t up.
At each contraction the heart does
enough work to lift a two-pound
weight one foot The heart of q
young and healthy person Is almost
immune to WEAKNESS or strain. But
II its muscles be weakened by the &C
emulation of body poisons, or by ane-
mia, it is very easily strained. The
heart has been known to break from
the strain Of sudden emotion. Anger
will increase the work Of the heart
from 1852 to 224 foot pounds a minute.
Therefore keep your temper, is q
good psychological advice.
Running to catch a train, running
upstairs or any sudden and unusual
exertion puts great extra strain
upon the heart The healthy heart of
youth is equal to such strains; not so
