why NOT ESTABLISH AUS.
DEPARTMENT OF RANSOM


With a keen appreciation OF
conditions in Mexico, the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger suggests
that the Administration at Wash
ington might do well to create a
ransom ministry to redeem
Americans seized and held by
Meaicans. 1t is an excellent
idea, although not likely to be
adopted.
But, if our authorities persist
in declining to make life and
property Of our citizens in Mex
leo reasonably secure, some such
step should be taken and contin-
ued until stronger hands have
charge of affairs. OF course,
what every American the world
over desires is assurance that il
he is mistreated in another coun-
try, this Government will do its
utmost to obtain justice for him.
For seven years there has been
very little evidence of this form
of virile Americanism and it now
seems, hopeless to expect a
change for the better. So, until
this Admin stration is ousted,
the wise course might be to des-
ignate some one at Washington
to attend to the ransom business.
A maximum and minimum sched-
ule for various classes of citizens,
would inform Mexican bandits
exactly what they might expect
after carrying off an American.

BACK TO THE FARM.

The year 1918 broke all pre-.
yious records as 10 cash returns
to the farm industries Of the
United States, and now the final
estimates u the Department of
Agriculture as to money returns
for farm yields for this current
indicate 81, 800, 900, 600 great
er profits for the farmers this
year than last year. Surely,
there is some dazzle about that
long standing advice to the young
man to stick to the farm.
A little figuring win show how
the S14, $50, 100000 that has been
paid the farmers divides up. Ac-
cording to the 1910 census report
there were G, 1851 SOP farms under
cultivation in the United States
that year. Allowing that the
number had increased to seven
million farms for the year 1919
"a liberal increase estimate) on
an equal divide up for the money
receipts, there would be an aver
age Of over $1,000 to each farm.
Maryland independent. [volume] (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1874-current, 1919-12-19

OF course, the division Il apon no
snch ratio there we're farms
that took in less than 81 900, and
other farms that took in more
than 1900. But even as to the
81, 900 or 500 farmer-the 10
acre one man farm - this must
be borne in mind that the farmer
and his family lived off the pro
duce Of the farm, andathat house
rent and food cost does not figure
in the sales returns.
The sales returns may not, of
course, be regarded as clean
profit, but the clean profits range
much larger in the farm business
than in other lines Of industry.
1t is a hustle game, is the farm
game no farmer free from the
lunatic asylum talks about the
five-hour day and the five.day
week. And as to the farm hens
they have no regard whatever
for the blue laws. But, all in all,
there is some lure to the back-to-
the-farm suggestion.
