Delighted, as always when some one
she liked showed interest in the work
she loved so well, the girl forgot her
preoccupa ton in a twinkling and,
jumping up, gaily linked Philips arm
and led him across to the tall canvas
beside the pier glass.
"There" she laughed-"did you

Impressed by his first glance, Philip
merely uttered a thoughtful "Hmm J"
and In silence studied the portrait
with an intelligent appreciation not
unmixed with wonder. .r
Priscilla released his arm and
stepped back. pleased by this mute
tribute, pleased as well to have her
own overnight impression confirmed,
experiencing that rare, warm glow Of
qualification which only an artist
knows when he looks upon his handi

Well drawn and modelled, daringly
yet sensitively painted with an uner

in gypsy dress was amazingly spirited
and convincing. There was. arresting

'Tm not. 1t is serious: it's life or

FARMERS OPPOSED TO STRIKES.

The antistrike provision in the
Cummins Railroad Bill will not get
through Congress, but request for
opinions upon the provision sent
out by the headquarters Of the
National Grange to 33 state masters
of the grange brought in responses
showing over whelming sentiment
among the farmers for the provision.
Only one state master failed to in
dorse it, and he did not oppose it,
only expressing himself in doubt as
tC the value af it.
The response to this request is
but another evidence of the hostility
of the farmers to strike in the cities.
Of late there has been much runbl-
ing from the country showing the
dissatisfaction of farmers with eco
nomic conditions Many farmers are
threatening to curtail production de-
claring they will no longer work long
hours to produce surplus food for
iGlers and shorthour workers in the
cities.
It is an obminous waring that is
coming from the rural district and
it ought to be needed by all elements
in the city. There must be more en-
ergy displayed, more production and
less profiteering and grasping af-
ter something for nothing by various
classes in the city or city dwellers
are going to find themselves without
food.

More than half of the total investment
States is in colleges and universities
founded by religious denominations
who found in America that liberty of
theological preferences and academic
learning which had been denied to
them in their native lands overseas.
Today half of the 100000 students of
higher grades in the United States
are in attendance at these denomi-
national colleges and universities.
Upon that tremendous army equally
tremendous demands are to be made
during the next five years, demands
that trend to restore to American col
leges and universities that atmosphere
and purpose which marked their be-
ginnings. A world survey of the
needs of peoples who are struggling
along without knowledge Of the teach
ings of Christianity and without train
ing in even the most rudimentary
courses of an academic education has
revealed to America her responsibility
and privilege Through the Inter
church World Movement the 400 col
leges and universities of the thirty
religious denominations which have
united on a program of cooperative
effort are to be required to furnish
the majority of the 100000 leaders
and workers needed. They are the
West Points and the Naval Academies
of the. greatest religious movement
of all time.
1t is estimated that these denomina-
tionaI institutions have furnished.
ninety per cent of the religious leaders
of the past Are they to be able to
meet the new and larger demands?
No! Unless
Unless the churches return whole
heartedly to those policies which Gre
ated and developed the system upon
which modern American education is
based the effort will fail So serious

pRODUCE-ECoNOaIIzE- SAVE

Everybody wants to see Amer
lean wages maintained at a level
which will permit right living and
leave margin to be laid aside for
''rainy day"
No other country in the world has
come so near realizing this ideal as
has America. In no country are people
so we'll fed, well clothed, well housed:
well educated, and so happily con-
ditioned in every way as in our coun-
try.
But Notwithstanding this fact, the
war has left us with the cost of living
SO excessively high as to nearly equal,
and sometimes to exceed, the earning
of great numbers of people.
How to correct this situation quick
ly is the question now uppermost in
the public mind.
The war has forced us to try this
experiment.
1rom 1900 to 1910 immigrant aliens
arrived in our country at the rate Of
S6I,535 per year.
From 1910 to 1914 the average ar
irving was 1034, $40.
If this rate of immigration had con-
tinued during the past five years we
would now have (deducting emigrant
aliens who returned 3,213,666 more
immigrants in this country than we
have
in addition to this great contri
tuition to the shortage of labor, the
war and the epidemic have further
reduced the supply, and the average
working hours have also been. materi-
ally reduced. Moreover, our extraord-
mary prosperity during this period
has moved labored-business for them
selves, adding thus to the shortage
in the lower ranks at least.
At the same time comes the UNI
precedenteds demand at home and
abroad for American products
1t would seem under these condit
ions, with the supply decreasing and
the demand increasing, that the up
ward trend of wages has been at least
to some extent the natural consequ-
ence of the operation of the law Of
supply and demand.
Hence, among the questions which
the American people are trying to
answer are these:
What is to prevent the further in
crease in the cost of labor with the
demand constantly exceeding the
supply?
And, if the increase in the cost Of
labor is to be continued, or even re-
main where it is now, how can there
be material reduction in the cost
of the necessities of life of which
labor is the chief item?
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1920-05-14

that existed last year still are
present. Thrift garden will produce
food where nothing otherwise would
be produced, they will reduce family
food bills, they viii return abundant
Iy in proportion to the time and effort
devoted to them But added to these
reasons is another enc peculiar to
this year.
Reports to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture indicate that
the paintings by commercial vege-
table gardeners will be materially
reduced this year because the COM
merciaI gardeners see no way of OBJ
tanning enough labor to conduct their
usual operations. The commercial
gardeners claim that they have paid
high wages in endeavors to keep up
production, but now have reached the
point where the returns will not just
ify the continuance of this expense.
At least, that is the report reaching
the Department of Agriculture from
seed merchants whose operations at
this season are regarded as a good
indication of what conditions will be
month or two from now.
If the reduction of commercial
gardening becomes a fact, the obvious
result will be fewer vegetables and
higher prices. The logical remedy lies
partly in home gardens. This is a
remedy moreover, that will work no
harm even if the commercial acreage
should be up to normal, as any sur
plus of fresh vegetables may be saved
by canning, drying, and other means
of conservation the surplus kept so
that it will be useful next fall and
winter.
Thousands of families learned the
value of home gardens in war time
United States Department of Agri-
culture specialists believe it essential
that these families interest be main
tanned and that other thousands be
added to the homefood producers.
''Now is the time to begin making
plans for your 1920 thrift garden"
these specialists declare. First, locate
a piece of suitable l4nd; second, make
your plan; third, lget your seeds;
fourth, start work at the earliest
possible moment
A request to the United States
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. c., will bring booklet that
will tell how to plan your garden, how
much seed to buy, how to get the land
t in shape for cultivation, how to take
every other step in the process of
making your back yard or some other
vacant lot help feed you.

HOOVER AND THE FARMER.

There are political farmers and
speculative farmers who will COM
plain to the end of their lives, as Sen
ator Gronno now does, about Mr..
Hoover's policy in regard to the price
of wheat when he was at the head of
the Food Administration, but the facts
will always be against them.
All consumers and most farmers
will not forget that wheat has been
yielding its producers about three
times as much as they formerly re-
ceived for it. By fixing a minimum
price the Government guaranteed
the grower a handsome return for
his Investment and labor, and it pro-
tected him from the raids of the
wheat-pit in Chicago. Only the gam
blers of the markets and the farm
had any reason to bemoan regulation
that stabilized prices and put money
in the pockets of the farmers rather
than in those of the middlemen.
Soon after the armistice an attempt
was under way at Washington to do
away with the fixed price for wheat.
Some of the leaders of this move
ment alarmed the country with pre-
dictions that the Treasury would be
bankrupted if it persisted in that pol
icy. Backed by the President, Mr..
Hoover refused to be stamped, and
nothing of the kind has happened.
The farmers are to receive their guar
anteed price until July / next
Merely as a measure of justice to
the wheat-growers this course has
proved Of immense value to them, as
most of them appreciate, and it has
not injured the consumer. If there
had been a gambling market for last
years crop, most of it would have
