HE QUIzzES ROOT
Harding Digs Deep Into AS
ISOLATION of Nations Plan.
Would Use Machinery of Pres
ent League in New.
HOOVER'S ADVICE IS ASKED
Showdown on "Senate Oil
garehy" Expected Soon.
Ex-PreSident Taft Called on for
Suggestions.
MOWERS ADVICE is ASKED

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 13.@Advice on
the plan for an association of nations
was sought by President Hard
ing today from Elihu Root, former
secretary of state and more recently a
conferee with leading European
statesmen in the formation of world
court under the Versailles league COW
enant.
HOover's Advice Asked.
The conference. regarded as one OF
the most important to be held by Mr..
Harding in his injecting of minds
here. is understood to have concerned
chiefly the question of how far the
machinery of the present league may
be used in building world peace con-
cert acceptable to the United States
Details of Mr.. Roots talk with Mr..
Harding today were not revealed, both
he and the president-e saying his
recommendations were entirely con-
ddential. Questions were put by Mr.
Harding yesterday to Herbert Hoover
who recommended the league ma
chinery with changes be used to rear
the proposed association OF nations.
The visit Of Root again brought his
name into prominence in gossip about
the cabinet selections of the incoming
administration
Want Root in Cabinet.
Root is being strongly urged by GER
tain leaders in the party for secretary
of state. Harding, however, has not
displayed any inclination to view ROOF
so favorably as some of his advisers
would desire. and it is a possibility
that the first Showdown" between
Harding and the so-called senate oil
garchy' may come over the question
of appointing Root.
Roots appearance here today served
to back up the pro-league arguments
laid before Harding by Herbert Hoov'
err. Hughes is understood to have
outlined essentially the same view
William ]. Bryan this week will also
bring a kind word for the league.
Taft Also viii Aid.
Ex-President Taft comes later fol
the same purpose. Hoover's tall
with Harding threw light on severa
problems which will face the new ad-
ministration. They discussed the cabi
net, the league, the labor situation, tht
plight of the farmers and Europe'i
chaotic industrial situation.
Hoover's view is that the framework
of the league must be utilized, tho
with changes demanded by the Ameri
can public.

MUST HELP FARMERS

Secretary Mohler Urges Business Inter-
ests to Absorb Some of Losses.
Business interests must absorb some
of the losses being shouldered on the
farmers, according to demands of the
crop producers. If there is to be a
return to conditions of business as
usual" the farmers must not be asked
to carry all of the responsibility, ac-
cording to a Bulletin by ]. C. Mohler.
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture.
In his statement Mohier said in part:
Figured on the basis of readjust-
ment in the prices of farm crops from
the wartime levels" said Mr.. Mohler,
midwest farmers have a purchasing
powert of more than $4,000, 100000,
represented by wheat, corn, oats, rye
and potatoes of 1920 production. This
does not take into consideration ST.
600, 100000 worth of livestock which
probably will be marketed before
March 1.
THE valuation is based on current
market prices of all commodities be-
tween October so and November so,
and the figures on production are
taken from the Monthly Crop Repor-
ter, 1920. They are official. The
crops have not all been marketed, but
they are going to market and the cash
lis going to the farms every day.
These figures are taken from six
teen mid-western states of the great
grain belt, Arkansas, Colorado. Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Da-
kota, Texas, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Wheat at $1.55 a bushel, the average
of the market price November %,
1890, 81 less than it sold for last sum-
mer, has a total value of $500, SCI. 1 so.
Corn, which has shrunk in price from
$3.50 to rs cents, the average country
price November so, still has total
value of s772. 996.000. Oats at Az
cents a bushel, the United States aver
age farm price october 80, are worth
5,193,930; rye at $1.45 bushel,
1.-THE average United States farm price
October 80. is worth s32.0s0.690. and
potatoes at S1.06 a bushel, the United
States average farm price October SO.
are worth 64.616.2S0. The total
valuation is $2.044. 454,050. That total
lis Debated. 1t would have been more
than twice that large six months ago.

MAY FORM MARKET BUREAU.
Chamber of Commerce Committee
Urges Better Facilities for Topeka.

Topeka business men should step
into the lead in establishing marketing
facilities for the goods produced not
only in Topeka, but in the Kaw valley,
the industrial committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce believes.
The difficulties which the farmers
have encountered this year have
brought to the attention of Topeka
business men their responsibility in
placing before the buying public the
things which are produced in the val
ley, and assisting the producers to get
their wares to a profitable market.
A market bureau which will encour-
age the production of such farm and
garden products as finds ready. sale,
and which will keep in close touch the
producer and the consumer, has been
suggested, and in the industrial pro-
gram of the year it is quite probable
that the bureau will be included.
