| to farmers which are necessary tt More Profit Demanded More profits for farmers. shette l distribution systems, which would tend to eliminate middlemen and es | tablish prices.
 Ample finance with rural banks l assuming the obligation of financing the farmer with long and priority credits
 Protection from wild cat" invest ments which were said to be taking millions of dollars from farmers an nually.
 Equalization of industrial and agri cultural labor wages, which, the-state ment declares can be accomplished by lowering industrial wages or in creasing farm wages.
 Encouragement of immigration We have tried to rehabilitate our country by every method except by the sweat of our brow" the state ment says. Many industries have been stimulated to the point that they are top-heavy. Liberal credit has had the effect of initiating values. Abnormal credit granted manufac- turers of luxuries and essentials have been largely expended in driv- ing up wages and the cost of living, while the producers of essentials have been overlooked. We need more capital rather than more credit.
 Bumper Crops Needed
 "The nations prosperity depends primarily upon bumper crops, for agriculture is the basic foundation of every human endeavor.
 "We are facing an age in which agriculture and industry must move forward hand in hand. Leaving the interest of the farming class entirely out of the question, it will be to the advantage of the nation to grant preferential consideration to agricul- tural requirements, even though other industries may be temporarily handi- capped"
 Concerning transportation. the statement says: 'It will be months md even years, before our transpor- tation systems can be restored to heir normal efficiency" and that preference must be granted agricul- tural produce immediately so as to move the years crops. t
 sl Concerning profits, the statement dds that more profits for the farmer would not necessarily mean higher costs to the consumer.
 Consumers Protected
 "The consumer need not pay more. but the producer must receive more" it says. "In most cases we will find the remedy in elimination of ex cessive middlemen's profits.''

SCIENCE DOUBTS
 VOLCANO THEORY

Mount Vesuvius to observe its oper. ations, has expressed to the Associ- ated Press the opinion that no new volcano has been formed but that the earthquakes caused displacement of subterranean strata causing ifs sure in the earth's crust and that gas escaping therefrom was mistaken by onlookers as the opening of a new crater The phenomenon, was not a new one MT. Perrett said the seism. cal instruments showed a lowering of the earth's level in the earth. quake district previous to the tremors this has been observed on other be casions when earthquakes occured
 This view is shared by Senator Caplellini, a leading geologist who has been interview by the Messagero and who says there may have been an eruption of gas through a ifs. sure on Mount Pisanino and the supposed column of smoke above the mountain may have been caused by clowds of dust from falling earth.
 The tongues of flame, in Senator Caplelllnis opinion may possibly have been inflafable gas from under ground wells of oil. He said, how. ever, that volcanoes can apear independently of the structure eSf the earths crust and that the .gtsatest catastrophes have occurred from the- appearence of volcanoes where no:. body expected them. ,:
 For example, the geologist icon. tinued, Mount Etna rises out of postr@ pEocene strata while the volcano of the Andes mountains in South Amer. ica arises from granite rocks. There fore the nature of the Apuan mbunfs, aims did not exclude the possibility of volcano appearing on Mount Pisanino. IN sFsf

COAL MOUNTAIN
 IS DISCOVERED
 NEAR DONNELLY
Prospector Claims Discovery Of Solid Coal Hill-Bill-
 ion Tons In Sight.

Discovery of mountain of coa located somewhere between Don nelly on the Richardson Highway and the Alaska Railway is claimed by G. D. Beymer, oldtime Alaskan an ex-seryice man of the late war MT. Beymer, in a letter, written the Department of Interior. says that he has mountain of bituminous coal and he wants to get lease tc work it.
 In his description of the find, MT Beymer says:
 "There is no rock or slate, only cemented sandstone between the veins of coal. The coal hill is one mile long, 500 feet high, and one quarter of a mile in width, nothing but coal. A billion tons in sight.
 Coal enough to supply all the navies on earth for 100 years, ir sight! Can use a steam shovel tt load it on cars. Men who know say it equals Wellington coal.
 There are also veins 50 to 1Ot feet wide and one-half mile long on a mountain across the creek from the coal hill, running for three miles all up and down the noun tain"
 MT. Beymer states that the coal district he has found is not shown on any geological map of the coun- try. It is easily reached by team he says. He has been through the Chickaloon, Nenana and Healy coal fields, and says there is nothing in any of them to compare with the hill of coal he has located.
 A copy of the letter was received today by Gov. Thomas Riggs from the Department of the Interior. The Governor is of the opinion that MT Beymer has struck the Dry Greek coal fields, the existence of which has been known for several years. At the time of the survey made from Chitina north to Fairbanks or the Alaska Railway project, it wal recommended that spur be built from a point near the confluence of the Little Delta and Panama rivers 35 miles southwest to Dry Greek for the purpose of opening up the coal deposits there for exploitation Owing to the lack of definite infor- nation Mr Beymer's alleged dis covery it is not certain that it lies in the Dry Creek country, but is in the same general direction.

 Comparing our women golfers with the English players, Mrs. Vanderbeck said that a majority of the British women had a far different style than those of this country. Comparatively few of the women, she said. use wooden clubs through the fairway. After the tee they depend solely on their irons, and with most of them the tendency appears to be to check their strokes.

hath made of one blood all nations of
men" and we are trying to live up
to this educationally as well as In
ternationally. You can find on the
campus and in this Chapel young
people that would take very high
rank in any Of our colleges, and be-
side them some that have learned to
write their names within the last
six weeks. So that we are, as 1t
were, carrying the family idea into

The Normal School enjoyed a spe
cial treat when Mrs. Sloop, FROM
Crossnore, N. c.. and Prof. Lyman,
Of Michigan State Normal College,
spoke in our department chapel Sat
urday morning. Mrs. Sloop Is q
leader In her part Of the country, and
her husband, who is doctor is doing
a great work in the mountain dis
tricts of North Carolina. Her talk
was an impressive one, making prom
inent the need for educated, morally
strong men and women to work in
the uplifting Of our mountain coun-
ties. Our work is here at home;
not for money nor fame, but for the
joy Of service.
We enjoyed very much the trip
to the community fair at Scaffold
Cane. The little community, COM
posed Of some thirty families. has
wrought wonders. The quality Of
the agricultural exhibits showed
pains-taking interest on the part Of
the people in growing these speci-
mems, which really speak for their
whole agricultural output for this
year. Another attractive feature
was the variety Of canned and dried
fruits and vegetables. Homemade
products. such as candies and cakes,
were especially alluring. The in
dustrial art department Of the school
had many interesting exhibits. Il
all went TO show, on the whole, what
an aspiring, ambitious teacher can
do to influence the people Of a COM
munity. He can, II he will, mold
the moral, mental, social and econom-
ic life Of the people until his infu-
ence for good is limitless.
The Normal School faculty are
discussing with view to adoption a
