PROUD OF HER BLOOD.
Plymouth, Thursday, Nov. 6.-"Do
not think for one minute I am
ashamed of my Virginian blood"
snapped Lady Astor this afternoon at
a women's meeting when she was
asked why she was not spending her
energies in America, where there were
as many social evils as here.
What do you want me to do?-sit
at home and hold my hands?" Lady
Aston went on. It married in Eng
land, my interests for ten years have
in my veins is AngloLSaxon and 1 am
proud of my American BIRTH
Lady Astor's eyes flashed and she
gestured for a moment. Resuming
her speech, she declared women would
be the ones to bring about the work
ing of the league of nations.
Men tell you they had a good time
at the front" Lady Aston asserted,
but I do not believe mother with
a son there ever had a good time"
Men have physical courage" she
added, "but they often lack moral
courage, and that's the kind of cour-
age most needed today"
Answering another bombardment of
questions, Lady Aston said: There are
two sections of the Labor party-one
embraces tried and true trade. unions
the other young intellectuals. know
the latter as red-hot Bolshevik cranks
Half of them never fought in the war
and most of them have never been
working men. They are heart and
soul of the Independent Labor party"

THE STATE AND THE
HOSPITALS

An effort will undoubtedly be made
by members Of the Legislature from the
Pan Handle counties to secure more
liberal state assistance for the local
hospitals. These hospitals do great
deal Of charitable work. for which the
state pays them. at rate entirely In
adequate 10 the service rendered. One
OF the hospitals in this section. last
wear. did work for which the state paid
il about $4,000. The actual cost Of
doing the work was over $4,000. These
four Pan Handle counties are busy In
dustrial counties. Many accidents occur
in III, mills and factories. and on the
railroads. Often the sufferers by these
accidents are unable 70 pay for proper
hospital and surgical help. So far as
they are able. the local hospitals open
their doors freely to all such cases. and
for this service the state pays on a
basis entirely out Of proportion TO the
cost
In pushing for more liberal state aid
to these worthy institutions. the Pan
Handle members will have a good
cause. and they should have the united
moral support Of our entire citizenship

for less than from $3.50 to $4,000 per
acre it will be seen that the profit in
wheat farming under the best conditions
and with the present high prices IS not
excessive. The average yield per acre
Of wheat in Ohio county is about txS
or twelve bushels INSTEAD Of twenty
three. The average price fer many
years previous to tn" last two or thrc"
has been much less than S2.00 per
bushcl-probably $i.25 would be near
to the normal price. Wheat growing
on the poor or average farm. and selling
al the average price. would show little,
II any. profit, even under the most fav-
orahlc conditions.
It must. of course hc recognized that
the rolling lands OF OHIO county. and
the upper Ohio Valley. are not the ideal
wheat lands 81 the world. Thc great
level stretches OF the Mississippi VAL
Icy. extending through OHIO. Indiana.
Illinois. Missouri. Kansas. Iowa and
Nebraska, are the natural wheat pro-
ducing territory OF America. The wheat
farmer in those sections. cultivating
many acres can clearly grow and sell
his product TO better advantage than

has his difficulties. and the Differences

who is able 10 utilize his own time to
an advantage. are not so great as it
might seem.
The fact is that the era Of cheap
wheat and OF low priced far1ncd pro-
ducts in this country has pretty we'll
passed away. Our farmers have for
decades been mining their lands, instead
Of maintaining their fertility and re-
storing them. The cost of fertilizinS
and reyiving the soil is very consid-
cradle item. which the farmer OF
twenty-five or nifty years ago never
seriously considered. The increased
cost Of labor has also become factor.
We must realize that many foods Will
never again be as cheap as they were
fifteen and twenty years ago. A re-
duction In the cost OF living Is highly
desirable. bu; many American families
can effect that reduction, by little care
and economy. much more quickly than
they will be able to DO through any
early reduction in prices
