AMERICAN CREED"
Has Been Prepared by Vicksburg, Miss,
Newspaper Man.

A newspaper man, Charles w. Miller
city editor of Vicksburg, Miss, has
complied IAN American creed" con
sisting of passages from the Old and
New Testaments.
The selections transposed and ar
ranged in such manner as to, preserve
the continuity of the creed unbroken
to the end, are said by Mr. Miller TO
contain 'the wholesome truths handed
down from the prophets, the Saviour
and the apostles"
There are seven quotations from the
Old Testament and 81 from the New
Testament making total of more than
500 words in the creed. 1t begins with
the words of Timothy, Goodness with
contentment is great gain. For we
brought nothing into this world, and it
is certain we can carry nothing out"
The second paragraph is introduced by
a passage from Malachi, Have we not
ali one Father? Hath not not God Gre
ated us? Why do we deal treacher-
ously every man against his brother by
profaning the covenant of our Fa
ther?" The creed closes with these
words from Timothy, Now unto the
King Eternal, immortal, invisible the
only wise God, be honor and glory
for ever and ever"
w. F. Bond, state superintendent of
education in Mississippi, writing to the
compiler, said: This is splendid
creed, and we should like very much
to have copy in the hands of every
school child in the state"
Mr. Miller, who has been a newspaper
man more than 80 years, said; I'm this

Other Republican Winners.

The other candidates on the republi-
can ticket are leading their opponents
by large margins.
Michigan will send five new republi-
can congressman to Washington and
eight for another term, it was indicated
as returns continued coming in.
Frank ID. Scott, of Alpena, will rep
resent the Eleventh congressional dis
trict of Michigan in congress again,
having been elected unopposed by any
party for his third term. Mr.. Scott
made his campaign for the nomination
and election purely on his record and
was endorsed by all parties.
The same was true with Herbert
Baker, Cheboygan, for state senator.
Mr.. Baker had no opposition for the
nomination and none for the election.
He represented his district, the
Twenty-ninth, well in Lansing during
his first two years as state senator and
is expected to prove even more eff
cient in that office during the coming
term.

SPECIAL FEED NEEDED
FOR MARKET CHICKENS

Profitable disposition of "runts" and
birds that are slow to mature is one of
the biggest problems facing farmers
and poultry men at this time of the
year, according to Prof. c. H. Burgess,
head of the poultry department af NJ
A. c. A number of Gull hens and cock
erels are withdrawn from the flock DUR
ing October and November, and these
also must be put into market condition.
"To meet the problems of the poultry
man who must fatten fowls for market, "
says Professor Burgess, 1--WE offer the
following ration to be fed in closed
rooms or crates:-100 lbs. corn meal;
100 lbs. middlings; 100 lbs. bran; 100 lbs.
rolled oats fine ground oats); 100 lbs.

CATIONS FARMERS ON
POINTS TO WATCH
in MAKING LEASES
Clear, Equitable Lease of Prime
Importance to Tenant and
Landlord.

A clear and equitable lease contract
is OF prime importance to both tenant
and landlord, yet because of the diff
culties involved in drawing up such a
contract to fit given case, tenants and
landlords alike often are content to use
some easily available printed form,
that may or may not be best suited to
the conditions. In Farmers Bulletin
1164, The Farm Lease Contract, the
United States Department of Agricult-
ure urges farmers 10 make sure that
their leases say just what they ought to
say, and mean just what they were in
tended to mean.
1t is pointed out that custom often
tends to perpetuate long-establshed
type OF agreement, even though condi-
tons do not continue to justify the
terms involved. For example, the
stock.share lease, almost universally
framed on the $3.50 basis, with the
landlord furnishing the land and the
tenant furnishing the labor, work stock
and equipment, is not necessarily
equitable. Land and labor vary in
relative value, and what might be an
equitable ratio upon which to base di-
vision OF returns in one case might be
altogether unsatisfactory in another.
1t is urged that an adjustment should
be made in each individual case, taking
into account the relative value of the
elements contributed by the contract
ing parties. The following described
method is suggested for making such
an adjustment.
First an estimate should be made of
the fair value of the use of the land
and of the value of ordinary farm labor
with additional estimates of the cost of
horse labor and the annual cost of the
use OF equipment The value of each
OF these items may be determined with
fair degree eff accuracy in advance.
The ratio of the two values should be
determined, and all other expenses and
receipts should be divided in the same
proportion. Suppose, for instance,
that the fair value of the use of the
land for year is found to be $500,
while the fair value OF the farm labor
horse labor and use of equipment is
$1,000. The ratio of these quantities is
l to 2. The landlord shonld then pay
one-third of all other expenses and the
tenant two-thirds. After these other
expenses have been deducted from the
total receipts the landlord should re-
ceive one-third Of the remainder, and
the tenant two-thirds,"

Farmers Urge That Crops Be
Marketed As Demand REQUIRES

Resolutions urging that all crops be
marketed as the demand requires and
that congress conduct an investigation
OF interest rates charged by banks.
were adopted this week by the farmers

under the federal warehouse act.
Delegates to the conference inter-
preted the resolution for marketing as
the demand requires as authorizing a
holding movement of cotton, wheat and
other great farm staples.
The resolutions as adopted were re.
commended by the policy committee
which was appointed at the opening
session. William C. Marsh, secretary
OF the farmers national council, refused
to sign the committee report, submitting
minority one requesting the represen.
tatlves OF organized labor "who have
expressed to us at this conference their
sympathy with farmers need to obtain
short time credit so they may secure at
least costs OF production, that they 90

matter before the cabinet"
He also wanted the conference TO oo
on record for the restoration of the
rallroads to government operation.
Charles S. Barrett, president of the
National Farmers union, urged that
cotton and wheat be held.
The time has now come for action +"
saio Barrett. "Since the government
mas iailed us, we now ask that govern
ment officials stop talking price decline

Our union officials interpret the
resolutions you have just passed as
authorizing general holding move
ment on wheat and cotton, and DOS
sloly other products, certainly on wheat
ana cotton, for that only will get us
anywhere. -
Resolutions asking for the enact
ment OF laws protecting the American
DAIRY industry from the importation of
foreign dairy products also were
adopted,
