secretary said, adding that in the hVe years, 1915 to 1919, the average pro- duction of cereals per farm worker was 41s bushels.
 These figures are interesting he said, and particularly so in conncc- ton with the high cost of living. The cost -of-living problem is q mutual one for all of us. It is the farmers prob it is the businessmen's problem. lt lem. it is the 1aborers' problem ana there are more men on the farm, farming more acres, each acre pro- ducing more per acre and each man producing more per man. giving each and every one of Us today more Of the six leading cereals per capita than we have had before, it seems to me the farmer is doing his part pretty Hel1.'
 Farmers increased during the war their planted acreage by 33,000, 900 acres, he said. and their yield by 635,o00,0o0 bushels, adding that this was in response to the department s request.
 He insisted the personnel of the de- partment was free from politics. Out of 21,0O0 positions, he said, there are only four that are not under the civil service-the secretary and two assist = ant secreta ries and the chief of the weather bureau.
 Attention was called to the difficll- ties thrown in the way when attempts were made to obtain larger appropril- tions for the work and he pleaded for a broader comprehension of the needs of the department.

LIBRARY IS HARD UP
May Have to Charge Membership Fees 1n Order to Maintain it, Since Ap- organizations Was Cut

The board of managers of the Er- win Memorial Library will meet next Monday to consider the advisa bility of charging membership dues for maintenance of the library. The money appropriated by the budget is not enough to keep up with the new books being published. The original surl appropriated was s23,0OG. This was cut to S16.0oO. an amount $500 less than the amount allowed for the year previous.
 The purchasing of new books with the advance in prices is the most seri- ous problem the board of managers has to face. The institution has an income of about s5,O00 from the Err wir and other funds but this N,ll not take care Of the increase in wa SeS allowed the employees. Last year the institute had to run behind in the pur- chase of new books because of lack of funds, and the only way open for the directors seems to be to charge a, small yearly fund for mem bership.

Would Sell Ships
 Abroad is No Bids
 are Received Here

Washington, June 2.-While giving American shipping interests prefer
 ence in the acquisition of government owned tonnage, merchant marine leg islation agreed upon today by senate
 and house conferees would authorize
 the shipping board to sell vessels to foreign interests should diligent ef-
 forts to dispose of the craft in this
 country fail.
 Sales to foreign concerns, however, could only be made under the compro- mise bill on vote of the seven mem- bers of the shipping board. The legislation agreed upon would
 direct sale of the government owned
 vessels Gas soon as practicable with good business methods but no time limit for the sale is fixed. Pending sale of the ships the board would be
 authorized to charter them to Ameri- can concerns.
 The house bill will take up consid- eration of the conference report to-
 morrow and following its expected adoption, will be called up without de- lay in the senate in an effort to get final action before the expressed ad-
 journment of congress Saturday.

Production On
 New York Farms
 Normal This Year

Albany, N. Y., June 2.-Farms of New York state will produce their normal contribution to the nations food supply this season if the farm CTS are willing to pay the high wages demanded by farm labor, say officials of the state department of farms and markets. These officials express the belief that the farmers are begin ming to realize that their products will induce them to pay high wages to laborers and to plant at least as many acres as in former years.
 The farm workers will be found, say department officials, when the farmer is willing to pay them the wages they want. The problem of the farmer is the cost of labor rath- CT than shortage, they declare. Woodsmen! who have been working in the logging camps during the winter are expected to go on the farms in the summer. Besides, say state of ficials, the annual "back to the land' migration from the cities should help to relieve the labor situation. Men who have been lured from the rural communities and towns by the higher wages offered in shop and factory be- gin to long for outdoor life when the warm days come, they say, and little coaxing is needed to make them ex- change their work on their bench or machine for open spaces of field and meadow.
 Planting has been delayed, but this is attributed mostly to unfavorable weather conditions. There was diff ficulty early in the spring in obtain ing seed, fertilizer, farm implements and machinery, but the state officials

 "No, sir" he added that if given two weeks he would furnish legal evidence.
 MT. Palmer then rose. His charge that Bonniwell had employed "char- acter assassination" efforts against him in Pennsylvania for years, brought warning from Senator Reed democrat, of Missouri, against personalities" but the question was set at rest when MT. Palmer was permitted to continue his statement under affirmation.
 The speaker denied flatly and without qualification what he char acterized Gas these stale charges that he had granted immunity" tc prohibition violators in Pennsylvania He declared that on the contrary, ar rests had been made and the cases prosecuted during the election period and asserted also that he lacked power to grant such immunity hac he so desired. 5s.-.l
 Throughout MT. Bonniwell's testi- mony, and his reply to MT Palmer and also in Mr. Palmer's statement old political battles in Pennsylvania re-echoed. The committee asked nc questions on these points nor any question at all of MT. Palmer ano when MT. Bonniwell concluded his brief answer, going into state cam. paign matters the attorney genera had mentioned, the incident was clos. ed for the committee, which began examination of John H. Rosseter o1 San Francisco, in connection with Senator Johnson's campaign in Cali. fornia.
 Edges Statement.
 In his letter to- Chairman Dilling- ham of the full election committee declaring he would not serve longer on the investigation campaign com. mittee Senator Edge said he felt that the committee "has fully fulfilled the instructions and performed du. ties impartiallv."
 "The investigation has reached 2 point" he said, "where partisanshir witness testimony and this l do not DelleVe CHe SeHdLe CoHLcHlpIdCt Ol cared to countenance.
 "No evidence of violation of any federal law has been brought out Indeed. there is no federal presiden. tial law to b broken. Whether the corrupt practices law of any state has been violated the officials o1 such state must alone determine.

 He did not indicate whether h' would participate in the framing O the subcommittee's report.

 Buy Boys Suit

Hickman, Ky, June 2.-Roy Shaw, a farmer east of Hickman, brought his wool clip of 200 pounds here and sold it for 30 cents pound. With the $60 proceeds in his pocket he priced clothing for his son.
 A suit, he found, such as the young man desired, would cost $60, equal to the proceeds of the wool sale. The purchase was made. Farmer Shaw fig uring four pounds of wool to suit, estimated his wool, grade not consid- cred, would make cloth for 50 people.

say these commodities have been sup piled as a result of efforts of the de- partment of farms and markets in cooperation with railroad officials.
 Expectation that the New York state farmer will see his duty and do it this year is based in part upon his record in 1917 and 1918 when farm laborers of the draft age were in the army The state officials say that the farmer never before faced such labor shortage, but, neverthe- less, those were banner years in crop production in New York state as we'll as for the bank balances for the farmers. They declare that if the farmer will pay the wages demanded, he will receive this year bigger prof it's than ever before.
