FARMERS MAY CUT
 DOWN PRODUCTION
MlDDlEMEN OF THE COUNTRY ARE BLAMED FOR HIGH
 PRICES.
WOULD CURTAIL CULTIVATION
Unable to Hire Help Except at Prices Claimed to Be Sky High, tho Growers Protest Against
 the Low Returns.

ington-Indicatio of wide spread spirit of unrest and dissatis. fac ion among the farmers of tho country, so threatening as likely to disturb the existing economic stre3- ture, is to be revealed in more thaa 10000 replies to questionnaire re gently sent out by the post office department.
 The replies as thus far digested were summarized in a report prepa~e,h by George l.. Wood, superintendent or the post office departments division of rural mails, and read to the Senate post office committee by James l. Blakslee, fourth assistant postmaster general
 The views of the 10000 or more farmers were obtained by the broad casting of 100000 copies of que tionnaire throughout the agricultural states, asking for suggestions whereby the post office department might aid in cutting down the cost of living.
 Answers to tfs questionnaire have been coming in since the middle of December at the rate of q thousand day and while a small percentage of them are from we'll satisfied farmers having no suggestions to make, the great proportion, as summarized b" officials, show the major complaints of the farmers in numerical order 10 be-
 Inability to obtain labor to work he farms. hired help and the farmers children having been lured to the citly by higher wages and easier living.
 High profits taken by mfddlemen for the more handling of food prod ucts, ana the lack of proper agencies of contaei atween the farmer and the ultimate lsumer
 Many of the replies, said one official, who had looked them over, probably as many as 50 per cent, indicate hat tEe writers contemplate either leaving their farms or curtailing acreage un- der cultivation, because of one or more of the three major grievances and be- cause of the growing feeling against nonproducing city dwellers.
 Commenting on the replies, AsSlSt- ant Postmaster General Blakslee aid:
 Such condition at time when the predominant cry is for produaton and still more production. cannot but constitute a grave menace.
 Before the Senate committee he characterized the situation as dis onieung and portentious of disastrous consequences" This opinion was eX- pressed hy Blakslee after a member of the Senate committee had remarked that the replies seemed to have come mostly from bunch of Bolshevists."

Trap Hill, N. C.-Mrs Eudora Ho. "I was very weakly for three or four years with womanly troubles. 1 was much worse at special times. Every month would have to lie in bed for three or four days.
 My chief suffering was in my back. I could not tell how badly it ached. but it seemed as if it could not DOS. sibly ache worse. Whenever l would get tired, or if I was much on my feet 1t would ache. Cardui was all the medicine I took.
 I saw, with the first bottle, that was being benefited, but I kept right on for five bottles regularly. By this time I was so I could do all my own work. which for some time l had not been able to do.
 That is the only time ever took it regularly, but I always have it on hand to use when I do not feel we'll and it always helps me-
 With successful record of over 40 years to it's credx, Cardui has proven it's merit in the treatment of many of the simple ailments peculiar to women.

Washiueton. The United States ] treasury does not look with favor upon certain features of the international conference, recently called by a cotcrie Of nationally known fnanciers and commercial leaders in an effort to i lead the world out of the financial chaos into which it was dragged by the war
 Secretary Glass declared in a letter to committee of the Chamber of Commerce Of the United States. which had sought a government expression of the meeting, that such conference would serve ito cause confusion and revive hopes, doomed to disapuolnt- ment, of further government loans.
 With note of some finality, Glass Set forth the governments policy with respect to furnishing credits, stating that the treasury lis opposed to gov ernment control of foreign trade dni finance and even more opposed to pri. vate control. II is convinced that the credits required for the economic res toration must come through private channels"
 In this respect this government fears the proposed conference would mean many Europeans would assume that the United States was about to shoulder more of their burdens, Glass explained
 If the Chamber of Commerce of the United States Go which were left de tails of the conference calD considers 1t advisable and desirable to designate representatives to attend an unoffiele! conference. Glass said the treasury department does not offer objection. provided the scope and character and limitations of such conference. as well as the impossibility of Gnitei States government action. are clearly unGei stooa. But there are numerous suggestions contained In the memorial sent out broadcast by the leaders which are clearly not appropriate Tor consideration. such as cancellation of some or any obligations of foreign gov ernments held by the United States, or even the deferring of obligations of foreign governments to liens created in favor of loans hereafter made for reconstruction purposes"

The animated toys were having the

Her shyness made her decide in

that no one else was wearing one. Live

BILLIONS INVESTED IN FARMS
Magnitude Of Agricultural industry
Must Be Reduced to Figures to
Be Appreciated.

"If all the farmers In the United
States should decide to go into some
other business-branch out. as we say
they could sell their live stock and
crops for one year, and with the mon
ey they receive buy all the railroads
in the United States, together with
all the rolling stock and other equip
ment," declared Secretary of Agricul-
ture Meredith before the United States
chamber of commerce at Atlantic City.
IF they wished to go out of the farm
ing business entirely, they could sell
their farms along with their crops and
live stock, and with the money they
receive, buy all the railroads, all the
manufacturing establishments, all the
mines and all the quarries in the Uni
ted States. In other words, it would
be just an even trade between the
farm property and all the other pro-
ductive property in the United States,
except the mercantile establishments.
They could with their income from
live stock and crops for a single year
pay practically the entire national
debt. The investment in agriculture
amounts to about 80 billion dollars.
and last year the value of crops and
live stock aggregated 25 billion dol
lars"
