Dinner Stories

The doctors small son was enter
tanning a friend in his. fathers office,
and they were looking with awed ad-
miration at the articulated skeleton in
the closet
Where did he get it," asked the
small guest in a whisper.
"Oh, he's had it Long time. !
guess maybe that's his first PATIENT"
Life.
Abe Carter was pious, hard-work
ing old darby, much respected by the
white people of the community. But
evil days fell upon Abe. The boil weevil
destroyed his cotton; his adopted baby
died of the whooping cough; his wife
died of a fever; his horse was killed
by lightning and a cyclone demolished
his cabin.
The Episcopalian minister, hearing
of Abe's extraordinary misfortunes
called to see him. ABE" said the
minister, you have been sorely at
flicted, but you must trust in the Lord
you must believe it is all for the
best
Vas, sub, boss" said Abe. "Yas
sub, I does. I feels l is in de hands

Curtailment of unnecessary price fixing and
of ell considered efforts arbitrarily to reduce
farm product prices"
Administration of the farm loan act to de-
crease tenancy and provide long-life credits.
Restoration of railway facilities to state of
highest efficiency.
Revision of the tariff to protect American
agriculture from unfair competition.
This program is more comprehensive than it
may seem at first glance It would elevate agri-
culture to higher level by having its best
spokesman and thinkers present in the national
councils to advise and draft remedial legislation
Senator Harding would seek to solve the prob
lem of distribution, admittedly one Of the most
trying and perplexing under the present regime.
Farmers complain that the prices which they
receive for their products are far below those
which the ultimate consumer pays, even after
the fright differential has been deducted.
They wonder, and rightly so, why the value
of their products should be enhanced by tremen-
dous bounds after they leave their hands, and
ask why it is necessary for their crops to pass
through so many hands before they reach the
consumer. Sterilization of prices and the elm
ination of "efforts arbitrarily to reduce farm
product prices" will go far toward satisfying the
agriculturists that they are not being bilked and
cheated.
The decrease of the number Of tenants, tariff
revision, and improved railway transportation
are all vital factors. Most crops must be moved
quickly after they are garnered. If railways are
unable to provide cars, or if free movement Of
crops to the primary markets or the seaboard is
interrupted, the farmer loses heavily.
Senator Hardings program commends itself
to the consideration of every one who has given
study to the problem of agriculture and it's rela-
ton to the national welfare.

Today's Talk
BY George Matthew Adams
GO THRU!

I was interested in reading OF the
details OF the great races by the
athletes who competed at the Olym-
plan games. I noted that in one of the
greatest races-the marathon-that at
least one runner had to give up before
half of the race was over.
In any race, training and condition
count. The unfit have to quit.
Prepare TOGO thru!
No road is smooth all the way. Every
contest has its hardships. The clouds
must compete with the sun, fire with
water, health with sickness-success
with failure.
But if you are determined TOGO
thru-half of the battle Is already
won.
Just remember that every effort OF
will and work means advancement
real progress. Do not get discouraged.
Hang on. Keep seeing the end. Stiffen
your lips, straighten your back-and
go thru.
awoke one morning recently in my
tent on the shores Of beautiful lake.
It was cold aud dark. The clouds
covered every inch of the sky. But
soon a little blue spot peeped from
parting vapors and before many hours
all the sky was clear and the day was
one of perfect beauty.
That is the way of the world. Iears
do not flow forever. Dawn and dark
ness work in relays. You cannot ap'
preciate winning fully-until you have
thoroly experienced failure.
Your cue must always be tnls-so
thru.
lately saw a boy come out OF the
water after a swimming race. He was
the last one. But he came up with
smile. Some day he will come up with
a smile-plus winner.

for You in some things-at some time
somewhere.

DEMAND PRoFiTEER PRICES
FOR ROOM NEAR PURDUE

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. IL.
-Rooming and boarding conditions at
Purdue university are the most alb
normal in the history Of the school.
There are not nearly enough accom-
modations in West Lafayette, and in
many instances the prices asked for
available rooms and board might well
be termed profiteers' rates.
Rooms are so scarce that many have
taken quarters in East side hotels and
residence. An appeal has been made
for every available room in West La
fayette. In some instances people are
asking as high as SIS and $1S for
rooms and getting it, although the u.s.
ual amount is from $40 to $14 each for
two men in a room.

Senator Harding on Agricultural
Exploitation

4. Realizing that present methods of agricultural
exploitation inevitably will lead to the breaking
down of American civilization, Senator Harding,
in his Minneapolis speech, warned that the mat
ter is of vital concern to the people Of the cities
as well as to the farmers. 5..-
If agriculture is not speeded up and the in:
dustry made attractive by the returns which the
farmer can obtain from his investment in land,
implements, livestock and improvements, the day
is not far off when hungry mobs in cities will
fight for bread.
The drift from the country to the city is a
potential menace of the worst kind, and the Re-
publican nominee was not exaggerating the
situation created by this movement of popula-
ton.
His solution is as fundamentally sound as is
his conception of both the gravity and the ex-
tent of the problem. His policy contemplates the
following steps:
Larger representation of farmers in govern
mental affairs.
system of cooperative associations for
marketing farm products.
A scientific study of the world market for
farm products with a view to sterilization of
prices.
