What Two Million
 Farmers Are Doing

CTS, they are members of the national board of farm organization There are said to be only about seven million real land-owning farmers in the United States, so you can see that this or ganization speaks for nearly a third of them all. It was formed back in 1917 when the necessities of war time production brought the officers of many minor farm organizations to Washington, where they got to know each other and learned to get along with each other little better than formerly.
 For farmers are traditionally poor organizers. One of the few things the farmer has is independence. He is in sulated from contact with his neigh bors by what the poet calls his broad acres. He is not used to making con- sessions to anyone else's point of view because he has never had to do so. He is independent and self-reliant, and like most people with those qualities, he is also suspicious and opinionated.
 At least that is the traditional psy- chosis of the farmer. To some extent, no doubt, it is the actual one. But the farmers have always had Organiza- tfons, and have always done good work with them. The National Grange has had appreciable effects upon legisla- tien. and it has recently opened a na-

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec. 24.-Two million farmers organized into a na tional association with headquarters in Washington constitute one of the interesting new political factors which have grown up since the last time we elected a president
 New political organizations, mostly of liberal or radical type, are becom- iIg numerous. A labor party and a liberal party have been created re- gently, and have made plans for con- ventions. There is also a more or less political organization of soldiers. Now comes to the fore a national farmers organization which appears to have real strength, and which tells congress very plainly what it wants. Big pusi- ness is and always has been we'll, though inconspicuously, organized for political purposes. Little business lifts up a voice of growing volume through various associations. The only thing we lack is a national association of small -salaried consumers. A call is hereby issued for convention to be held as soon as possible and wherever the local lunchs room proprietors will guarantee the delegates five cent milk and ten cent pie.

Good Reading For Pacifists
 Maroh 1Q0S

 Dearest Kermit:
 You have recently been writing me about Dickens. Senator Lodge gave me the following first class quotation from a piece by Dickens about Pro posals for Amusing Posterity:"
 And I would suggest that if body of gentlemen possessing their full chronological share of the combativ and antagonistic organs, could only be induced to form themselves into a so- ciety for declaiming about peace, with a very considerable -whoop against all non- disclaimers; and if they could only be prevailed upon to sum up elo- quently the many unspeakable miser- ies and horrors Of war, and to present them to their own country as a con elusive reason for its being unde- fended againts war, and becoming a prey of the first despot who might choose to inflict those miseries and horrors-why then I really believe we should have got to the very best joke we could hope to have in our whole complete Jest-Book for Posterity and might fold our arms and rest convinced that we had done enough for that dis corning patriach's amusement"
 This ought to be read before all the tomfool peace societies and anti-im perialist societies of the present day.

I explained to them that they had acted like boors; that 1t would have been a disgrace to have behaved so in any gentleman's house; that Quentin could have no friend to see him, and the other three could not come inside the White House until I felt that sufficient time had elapsed to serve as punishment. They were four very sheepish small boys when I got through with them.

We will have just re- medial legislation for the betterment of this great group of our population at all times, not only because it is their due, but because by justice we can always prevent the insidious influence of the criminal element of the l. w. w. from taking hold in the ranks or real labor.

The Revival of Mir. Bryan

The movement in Michigan in favor of Bryan may be of great significance, only the be- ginning of country wide demonstration. It is tain that MT. Bryan could important figure in the national democratic convention, possibly great figure himself for Mr. Wilson at Baltimore where he thwarted the will of clear majority and made Mr. Wilson the democratic didaae.
 Time the great healer has covered many of his official indiscretons during his presidency the departmeneof state, where he indeed secretary state and fgurehead. He has ticeably reticent regarding the League of Nations controversy that far that is concerned he would go into the convention with a clear slate.
 Ills very reticence absorbing subject more than any have heard, than the action of the democrats Michigan indica- of his desire to make fourth attempt the presidency of the United States. Bryan is habttuauy silent when there is anything talked about and when he has held aloof from discussion which political leaders and have been generally engaged it that he regards silence as golden, deserving of capitalization the past he has esteemed his gift of oratory be. may have been observed that Champ Clark too has refrained from joining in the League Nations melee have nearly all other prominent demo- who have been suspected of intention exa1t lighting rods.

Elsewhere in the south he would probably develop greater strength than any other democrat. He could not of course. compete with Underwood in Alabama perhaps in any other state with a favorite son of that state. But southern favorite sons fill figure long and prominently in the con ver1tion and Mir. Bryan become the residuary legatee of all of them. He is stronger n south than favorite would outside his swn state.

Announcing Packard "Single Six ,
Tie 1O-Year Car

We learned great deal through this experience that was applicable to the automobile, and towards the close of the war we felt we were finally we'll equipped by experience to design the ight-weight car.
 Meanwhile, with constantly growing talk of congestion in traffic, and increasing cost of gasoline, tires and other supplies, the demand for the light car became more and more insistent.
 We have taken several years for the development and perfection of this new Packard, but we believe we have accom-. plished what we set out to do, and take now a pride in announcing that the Packard Single Six will soon be ready. It will be manufactured alongside the Twin Six and by the same matured and expe. rienced organization.
 The new car is of five.passenger capacs ity and will be offered in Touring, Runabout, Coupe and Brougham or Sedan.
 The motor has six cylinders, 33s' bore by AZ stroke. It is therefore of medium size, and despite its light weight is very sturdily built.
 It is equipped with the Fuelizer.
 The Single Sir motor is new through. out, but it is not experimental.
 It includes every principle of good engineering that our experience has shown to make for maximum power, coupled with silent operation and freedom from annoying troubles. We have failed of our intentions if we have not produced motor that will run longer and require less attention than any other.
 Our chassis design is very simple and clean. Its light weight, together with its unusually efficient motor, result in very economical cal,
