In response to the invitation the ultra

'SPROU[ HAS full
] FAITH IN FARMER
AbsoIves TilIer Of Soil From
Blame for High Cost
!. Of Living -
HOLDS AMERICAN IDEALS

N Washington, Sept. .3.-The follow
ang statement was issued today from
the Office of Charles A. Lyman, secre
tsry of the National Board of Farm Or
ganizations:
"Governor Sproul, of Pennsylvania
who recently visited Washington for
the purpose of comforting with other
state executives on the subject Of the
high cost of living, said that it was
very necessary that the country obtain
q better understanding of the point Of
view Of the farmers. Without this, the
Pennsylvania executive declared, il
would be impossible to find permanen,
corrective for the present condition OF
affairs.
1t is all very well to berate the high
cost of living" said Governor Sproul.
1T certainly is a tangible evil which
4 demands attention. A temporary nos
ktrtim will not do. 1t must be something
which will pretty nearly guarantee a
|Acure. If the country is sick it needs a
Rdoctor."
n Governor Sproul said the farmers
Awere in no way to blame for the present
Ihigh prices, but believed they would be
!glad to CO. operate in an effort to bring
$them down to more. reasonable levels. He
3doubted, however, if this could be ac-
bcomplished by forcing all so-called
hoarded food on the market. This, at
Ebest, he said, was only a temporary
n palliative.
II am not an advocate of boarding,
far from it." continued the Pennsyl-
yania executive. 81 believe in forcing
upon the markets of the country all
food needed for human consumption.
But ! believe also In conservation. This
| involves the necessity for reserving GER
tain foods for use in periods of non
production. The clothier has his win
ter stocks bought and made in the pre- =
4 ceding spring. This is conservation
and preparation. So the farmer should
be prepared to sell eggs when the hens
hEye, suspended laying and he should
be ready to sell butter when the cows
are not giving so generously Of their
milk" . ...
Governor Sproul said it was useless
to deny that the menace of bolshevism
was present in America. He was con =
fdent the ScouLtry would never lay
PROSTATE before that monster, but il
may experience some real Inconvenience
from unthinking persons and 'organiza =
tions which attach themselves to the
Russian economic importation. Should
the evil threaten the peace of this
country, however, the farmers may be
depended upon to throw in their lot with
those who entertain ideas and ideals
chat are 100 per cent American, the
iGQyernor said.
NJ Governor Sproul doubted hnder the
present ! cenditions5 whether, if the
h farmer consented to take a lower price
\ for bis wheat, the urbanite would be
able to buy his bread any cheaper
The causes for the present high cost OF
living were to be found in faulty
methods of distribution, the greed
1 of certain middlemenr and other evils
over which the ruralite has no control.

was being enacted was as brilliantly
illuminated as stage.
The rear Of the train and the vibra :
tion of the rails served to revive Mrs.
Tanner. She half raised herself, and
called TO her husband:
"Will, don't think you can save
me-"
He could not hear her and bent over
her. She repeated her words and
added:
"Will, leave me. The babies and
your mother"
The train was not more than fifty
feet away. Tanner, half kneelng
placed his arms about her and drew her
close to him. She put her arms about
his neck
II stay with you, Mary" he said
and closed his eyes.
One More Effort
Miller even then made one last effort
to save both. He seized Mrs. Tanner
by the shoulders and pulled with all
his strength. His efforts were futile,
but he continued them, and when the
pilot of the engine struck the couple
and hurled them fifty feet, he was car =
ried along with them.
By miracle he escaped death, but
he sustained fracture of the right
arm, and his left leg -yas so badly
crushed it was necessary to am
putate it.
Tanner was young man and rail-
road cashier.s He leaves three children.
Both his father and stepfather were
killed by trains and his mother had
often warned him to be most careful.
His mother, Mrs. W. D. Chattley,
said:
my first husband was killed while
crossing the tracks in front of train
at Mechanicsville, n. Y. My second
husband was run down and killed by a
train in Albany, and now it is my son
I'm glad he chose to die that way. If
