WHEAT PLEDGE
WILL BE kept
CORE PROMISES
Obligation as Inviolate as
Government Bond, Says
Senator-Has Advantage.
(By Associa,eo rress,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11-Senator
Gore, of Oklahoma, chairman of the
senate agriculture committee, in an
address today in the senate, declared
that the farmers of the United States
could rest assured that the govern
ment would keep faith with them in
carrying out the guaranty of a price
of 1926 a bushel for wheat. The gov.
ernment, he said, should pay the diff
ference between the guaranteed price
and the price dictated by the law of
supply and demand for to do otherwise
would create a state of unstable econ
omic equilibrium
The presidential proclamation fixing
the price for 1919 wheat, Senator
Gore asserted, creates an obligation
against the government-an obliga-
ton which is as sacred and an obliga-
tion which is held as inviolable as that
of thrift stamp of United States
bond"
Of the two methods of carrying out
the misunderstanding the consumer
to pay the difference between the
fixed price and price in the unregu-
lated market and authorizing the gov
ernment to pay this difference, Sena-
tor Gore said economic consideration
recommended the latter, which has
been endorsed by the house agricul-
ture committee and embodied in it's
bill.
Price Fixing Unsuccessful.
To make the consumer pay the diff
ference, the senator said, would only
mean a continuation of the initiation
manifested during the war which
might have serious consequences.
Serious as the charge might be
upon the treasury" the senator said,
"it would be free from economic dis
advantages of the other method. 1t
would not throw wages, costs and
prices out of alignment and would
not create state of unstable econ
omic equilibrium.
Price fixing as regards wheat, he
said, had not been successful. 1t had
caused a loss, he claimed. of $780,
100000 to the farmers in two years.
with only slight individual saving
when distributed among the millions
of consumers.
To the average family, he said, less
than SIS year on the bread con-
sumed had been saved.
"a sort of even handed justice seems
to be protecting the farmer and saw
ing him, harmless" he said. For
violating the first law of economics,
we are now sentenced to pay fine
estimated by the department of asri-
culture to reach $1,250,000,0 600"

IMPORTANT PART or BUILDING
Ceremonies More or Less Elaborate
Generally Accompany Laying OF
Cornerstone.

The United States government puts
up public buildings all over the coun-
try, and a cornerstone is customarily
laid. But there is no hole in the lat
ter unless it be requested by the local
authorities, or Masonic body desires
to conduct ceremony.
The Masons take special interest In
cornerstones. On such an occasion
they appear in full regalia, and a cop
per box is used to hold the articles in
TERED. The box is soldered up and
placed inside the cornerstone, which
is then sealed with cement.
In Europe II is a part OF the busi-
ness of monarchs to lay cornerstones.
In this country the services Of a presi-
dent are always in demand for the pur-
pose, If obtainable. On a conspicuous
corner in Washington is a cornerstone
laid by Mr.. Taft when he was presi-
dent. It was meant for a church that
remains yet unbullt.
Colonel Roosevelt, when president,
laid the cornerstone Of the Masonic
temple in Washington. Oddly enough
1t was 80 feet In the air at the time
of the ceremony, upheld by tlmbers,
the ground beneath 1t having been dug
away to that depth. But 1t was neces,
sary to grab the president while the
grabbing was good.

EASY TO IMPROVE MEMORY
Whole Secret Is to Concentrate the
Mind Entirely on the One
Thing in Hand.

People Of poor memory are general
~ inattentive and fail to concentrate.
Systems like Pelmanism help to good
memory in that they focus the mind
on the thing at hand. Dreamers read,
and for the life of them cannot tell
what the last sentence was, unless it
was something in which they were
wildly interested waking them out of
their dream, and then it is fixed for
good, thus showing that memory is
conditioned on attention and concen-
tratiOn. To cure this requires heroic
treatment. Make it religious resolve
to attend only to the thing in hand.
If it is reading, concentrate on the
book so thoroughly that every SEN
tence takes clearly defined meaning in
the mind. One cannot think of some
thing else and at the same time I'M
derstand and remember what he is
reading. The trick in the game of
memory is to overcome dreaming, alb
straction, inattention. 1t can be done
by persistent, patient, long-continued
effort.

FEEDING PIas by Machinery.

A hogmeter is not a motor-hog;
It is a pig self-feeder. Two of these
ingenious inventions have been tried
by the Western Australian minister for
agriculture on his farm, with eminent
ly satisfactory results.
The machine is a combination of a
hopper, a grinder, and a delivery plat
form, which has ten divisions. The
ground wheat is equally distributed by
delivery chutes. The shouting instinct
Of the pig has been requisitioned to
supply the motive power, the divisions
on the platform being so arranged that
the animal, in trying to snout 1T out
of the way for more feed, forces the
platform round, thus grinding for itself
more wheat, which falls in the next
and succeeding divisions. and so on.
Ten pigs can fed at the same time.
There is no waste. The pig does not
crush more than he can eat, and he
cannot possibly eat more than he
brushes.
