GOVERNMENT SHOULD
AlD THE FARMERS.

Dean F. B. Mumford OF the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture urges
farmers to support the Recommended
ton of the Secretary OF Agriculture
that a minimum price for food crops
be guaranteed by the Government
The farmers OF the country are
being urged to exert every energy
to secure a maximum production OF
food crops for the prosecution OF the
war" said Dean NuEtort recently.
No class OF citizens will Be more pa
triotic than the farmers. But the
farmer is opposed and rightly so TO
raising a maximum crop and having
it pass into the hands OF spectators
for private gain and 20 the harm OF
both producer and consumer. The
farmer will not hesitate TO produce
a maximum crop if he can be assured
that what he produces will become d.
rectly available to the Government
for war purposes, and will not be
manipulated by spectators in food
products.
Some farmers will not exert their
maximum effort unless the Govern.
ent will fix a minimum price which
is not subject to ruinous changes
caused by spectators. Too often
high prices are not received by the
farmer himself but by the gamblers
in food products.
Every farmer should favor the
recommendation of the Secretary Of
Agriculture that the National Coun
Gil of Defense be given power to reg
ulate prices if necessary for the sue
cessful and efficient distribution ant
marketing of food products"

SENATOR JAMES A. REED
Tells Why He Favors Publicity Tax
Returns.

Senator James A Reed, of Nilsson
ri. Tuesday gave out the following
statement.
I heartily favor publicity of income
tax returns.
J We go into the very homes of the
common people of the country and
require them TO list substantially
everything they own. There is no
delicaCy then; there is then none of
the sentiment that men are entitled
u privacy. We fairly count the spoons
OF the ordinary citizen.
We also tax in the name of the
owner the real estate OF the country.
Now, what is there sacred about
an income? In what way does a public
record of an income tax interfere
with a mans business of his oppor-
tunities in life?
After all this delicacy of feeling
must be bottomed upon the fact that
rich man with a large income is
entitled to some protection that a
poor man with small income or small
amount of property is not entitled to.
Publicity in these matters makes
better TO honesty of returns. There 81
one county in my State where l have
been told there are several million
aires, and it is not a county with a
single city in it. 1 have also been told
that the mere publication of the tag
returns of tn ese gentlemen would
startle the entire community.
want somebody to tell me why
public taxation is not public business
l want somebody to tell me why ev'
cry man in the community is not in
terested in knowing, and has not the
right to know, the source of every dol
lar of revenue that is collected by the
government, and to know whether
other people are paying their jus
share of the burdens of the govern
ment.
am in favor of the measure ant
hope it will be accepted.

MAY INVADE

Hartford, Conn, May 4.-"Unless
the United States marshals all her
resources, both military and indus
trial, and does it Immediately, there
is a great probability that we shall
see German troops in this country
within a ear" said Judge Lucien F.
Burpee, chairman of the State Mil
itary Emergency Board, on his re-
turn with Gov. Holcomb today from
the conference of the National Coun-
Gil of Defense at Washington. This,
Judge Burpee said, was pretty well
demonstrated" at the conference.
81 had never believed this proba-
BILE or even possible" he continued,
"but the facts presented by Govern
ment officials we're convincing and
those from, the English and French
officials visiting this country make
it plain that the situation in England
and France is desperate, both econom-
ically and in respect to military mat
tiers. Germany has a strangle hold
on England and If that cannot be
loosened both countries will be throt-
tied"
Gov. Holcomb said the situation
was very serious. He added:
"If we don't win we will have to
pay almost the entire cost of the Eu-
ropean war for all the other coun-
tries

HE WON'T EAT HAMBURGER

Jake Vonstein, a good old Irish
name CD has little fox terrier. The
dogs small but his appetite is large.
He's toothless, too, which accounts for
his fondness for Hamburger steak.
That is, he used to eat Hamburger but
since war was declared-snuff! nothin'
stirring. I'D rather starve," he sig
nails with his tail. Jake fears he will,
so he is feeding him gumdrops. But
there is one ray of hope. Jake read
a story in the HARRISBURG TELE-
GRAPH that in Williamsport they are
not calling it Hamburger any more,
but "Harrisburger" instead. He pasted
the clipping in the dog kennel and be-
lieves his hound will wise up to the
change before he slowly starves on his
gumdrop diet.

Supervisor Moore has won much
