GETS LESS MONEY
FOR HIS BIG CROPS
Farmer Works Less and Has
More in Lean Years,
Economist Says.
1911 AND 1912 AS EXAMPLE

That the farmer receives less money
for his bumper grain crops than he
gets for his lean ones, although the
handling of the one involves infinitely
more labor than the gathering and
marketing of the other. is the some
what startling statement made by Will
liam Joseph Showalter, a Washington
economist. in a paper brought to the
attention of the House of Representa-
tives today by Representative Flood of
Virginia in connection with the high
cost of living issue. He shows how the
farmers of the world received a billion
dollars less for their bumper grain
crop of 1912 than they got for the lean
one of 1911, how those of the United
States received s172.000.0O0 less for
their bumper corn crop of 1912 than
for their lean one of 1911. and how the
wheat growers got S64.000,000 less for
their bumper wheat crop of 1906 than
they did for their lean one of 1907 In
his paper Mr.. Showalter says:
While Congress is considering the
high cost of living from the standpoint
of the city consumer. it might also con-
slider the high cost of universal bumper
crops to the farmers who produce them

ANTI-TREATING.

The first formidable opposition to
the conviviaI habit Of treating" and
the drinking of "healths'' was proba-
bly, that voiced by Sir Matthew Hale
the eminent seventeenth century Eng
lish jurist, who was born 307 years
ago today. At that period the custom
of treating and health drinking, which
the British government has now
found it necessary to condemn as a
war measure, was almost universal In
England. Sir Matthew never missed
an opportunity to attack this prac-
tice as the main cause of drunkenness.
He declared that sit is become one OF
the greatest articles Of drinking, and
occasions of quarreling in the king

this Injunction: eff you pledge one
health, you oblige yourself to- pledge
another, and a third, and 50 EDWARDS;
and if you pledge as many as will be

RAISED HERE BY
BABY CAMP AICN.
Most Successful Charitable
Enterprise is Brought
to a Close.

Brydgeport's 'Save-the Baby fund
totals nearly $4,000 as a result Of the
campaign that closed yesterday after
noon. Mrs. D. H. Warner, general
chairman, yesterday announced that
the fund was well over $1,000 and
there are still few factories and
schools not yet reporting.
Additional contributions are expect
ed to trickle in to the committee dur
ing the week, as several workers have
notified the committee that more funds
will be available a little later. The
fund will be kept open, therefore,
though the campaign closed officially
yesterday.
Persons desiring to contribute now
may send their donations to Mrs. e.
w. Downs, treasurer Of the fund.
Mrs. Warner is highly pleased with
the results attained in this campaign,
the first of its kind ever conducted
here. The campaign was directed ex-
clusively by Bridgeporters and every
cent collected went to charity.
AS a result of the campaign, the
work Of the Day Nursery, Visiting
Nurce association, Orthopedic Clinic
and Girls club may be much enlarged
during the year.

THE LEWIS MACHINE GUN.

The Lewis machine gun, which is
now used exclusively by the British
for their first line, and which is de-
clared by experts to be the most eff
fective weapon Of its kind in exis-
tence, was invented by Col. Isaac
Newton Lewis "a retired officer of the
United States army. This death
dealing twenty-six pound rapid-firer,
1t is said, is now being initiated by
the Germans, who have found it much
superior to their own type of machine
gun. About $4,000 of these weapons
are in use by the British, and they

turned out. The inventor produced
his first model of this type Of gun in
1910, and, it is said, offered it to the
United States government as a gift,
but it was refused. Lewis, then a
major in the coast artillery, continued
to work on the gun, but, failing to Sc
cure it's adoption by the American
military authorities, he asked to be
retired from active service in 1913.
and went to England. It was three
years ago this month that the Lewis
gun was given its first official test by
the British ordnance experts. On
the recommendation of Gen. Sir Stan
ley Won Donop, chief of ordnance.
and his fellow officers, the British war
department accepted the weapon.
When the war broke out the Lewis
gun was brought into direct competi-
ton with the Vickers machine gun,

New York, Nov. 1--we must re-

dent Wilson's final word Of encour-
agement to the cause Of equal suf-
frage, voiced in his address at
Shadow Lawn last Saturday And,
in the opinion of leaders of the wo-
mans movement here, the Presidents
statement has brought many women
who were wavering in the matter of
party choice to the side of Demo-
cracy and progress.
''Those women who do ally them
selves with the Democratic. party and
support President Wilson are per-
forming service for their cause and
their country declared Miss Con-
stance Drexel, suffragist leader
here, to-day. "And those who have
votes will be wise if they cast them
for President Wilson. He is the only
President who ever has voted for suf-
frage, and he is the President who
has done more for women than any
other. The rural credit act, the Clay
ton act, the eight-hour law, the child
labor law, the act providing vocation
al education for farm en-all re-
dound to the benefit of women, quite
as much as for that of men. The
equal suffrage states, therefore,
should turn out a solid vote for

Now All Your Victories Are in Vain
A. Mary Robinson.
Because you passed. and, now are
Because, in some remoter day,
Your sacred dust from doubtful spot
Was blown by ancient airs away
Because you perished-must men
say
Your deeds were naught, and so pro-

Your lives with that cold burden?
Nay.
The deeds you wrought are not in
vain!
Though, it may be, above the plot
That hid your once impartial clay,
No greener than DER men forgot
The unregarding grasses sway
Though there no sweeter is the lay
From careless bird,-though you re-
main
Without distinction of decay
The deeds you wrought are not in
vain.
No. For while yet in tower or cot
Your story stirs the pulses play;
And men forget the sordid lot
The sordid care, of cities gray;
While yet. .beset in homlier fray,
They learn from you the lesson plain
That life may go, so Honor stay
The deeds you wrought are not 10

Heroes of old! I humbly lay
The laurel on your graves again;
Whatever men have done, men may
