Farmers Must Be Given Immediate Help

AN OFFICIAL statement by the
"A American Farm Bureau fedora
ton, summarizing it's investigation into
business, industrial and agricultural
conditions, declares that America sis
facing an agricultural economic con-
dition which, if not intelligently dealt
with, will lead to consequences so
grave as to affect all industry to the
point of imperiling the social order"
The statement. says farmers must
be given immediate help in transporta-
ton, finance and labor, and recon-
mends the following as remedial ef-
forts which would go a long way to-
ward solving agricultural difficulties:
Preferential treatment in Transport
tation to all farm produce held for
shipment and to all goods consigned
to farmers which are necessary to con-
duct the business of farming.
More profits for farmers, better dis
tribution systems which would tend to
eliminate middlemen and stabilize
prices.

America Is Nation of Cofee-Drinkers

THE people of the world annually
consumed more than two and one
half billion pounds of coffee in pre-
war davs-enough to load train of
cars reaching from Philadelphia to
Pittsburgh, says a communication to
the National Geographic society, is
sued as the third of series of bull
letins on "Where Our Imports Come
From"
This consumption now perhaps is
nearer 3,O0OO00.OO0 pounds, and, in
the United States alone AZ per cent
more coffee was drunk during the fis-
cal year 1919-1920 than in the preced-
ing II months.
Three-fourths of the worlds coffee
is grown in Brazil, a country that has
become rich from its coffee industry
alone. Europe and North America
bear approximately the same relation
to the consumption of coffee that Bra
I'll does to its production, these two
continents using nearly four-fifths of
all the coffee the world produces.
Holland is the greatest coffee drink
ing nation on the globe. 1t uses 1913
pounds per capita annually, while we
use 10 pounds, Germany SIS pounds,
ria-Hungary two and two-fifths
pounds, and the United Kingdom two
thirds of pound. On the other hand,

MADE WAY TO HIGH PLACE
Spectacular Rise Of Horse-Boy to Po-
sition of Mexican Minister of
Foreign Affairs.

Less than Is years ago a ragged lit
tie chap asked for a job Of horse-boy
with group of American travellers in
Mexico. He wore ragged pair OF
trousers, was bare of foot, and almost
bare of body, as his cotton shirt was
little more than a rag. He got the
Job, and the next three months spent
his time currying and caring for the
travellers mounts. He told them his
name was "Candido," or "The Sim
pie"
The same horse boy is today Candi-
do Aguilar, minister Of foreign affairs
for Mexico, and son-in-law of the tor
mer president Carranza. Investigation
showed that the horseboy had gather
ed a little band about him several
years ago, and that as it increased in
size it became the ruling force ins Vera
Cruz. Carranza took the young lead
err to Mexico City, where he became
conmandant of the capital troops,
general, and then on up to his present
high office. He had learned to read
and write On the way up-also how
to make love, for his marriage with
Carranza's daughter came soon after
his arrival IN Mexico City.

have been redrawn to take full advan-

experience, with the result that the
vessels are materially larger and more

TINE usually arbitrary goddess Of
i fashion is inclined to be tolerant
so far as styles in fur garments are
concerned. For furs are furs these
days-as a diamond is a diamond
they are bringing startlingly high
prices. 1t does not appear that they
are destined to become cheaper, unless
something happens to lessen the de-
mand, and high prices have failed to
do that. Therefore fur piece Of any
description is a possession to be treas
ured and everything is worn from the
smallest of chokerS that fasten close
up about the throat to long and ample
dolmans and coats whose prices are
stated in five figures.
Scarfs hold the lead in the smaller
fur garments and they are either
straight or shaped and may be long or
short. Anyone fortunate enough to
own one as generous in size as that
shown In the picture can wish for
nothing more splendid. 1t IS a hand

A MONG the great number of plait-

some models that are not acquainted
with either of these. Without apollo

so TONS OF
WATER TWELVE MILES

The development Of electric labor
saving machinery for the farm has
brought to light some very interest
ing figures. Take for instance the
matter Of pumping and carryingt wa
ter.
For all household purposes such as
drinking, cooking, washing, scrub
bing and cleaning, the average farm
family will use about 7 gallons per
person every day or AZ gallons for a
family of six Now AZ gallons of wa
ter weigh 1856 pounds, and if those AZ
gallons are pumped and carried on
only 900 out cf the year it will mean
that some one will have to pump and
carry 100000 pounds or over so tons
Of water every year. Furthermore, ii
a 3-gallon bucket is used it will mean
Ii tips to the well every day, and if
the well is Is feet from the house this
will mean 30x14 or APO feet daily. In
only 300 days this will amount to 1885,
900 feet or nearly "a miles.
SO the farmers wife who pumps and
carries water for the house walks II
miles to the pump every year, pumps
50 tons of water and walks II miles
back to the house carrying the so tons
fwater.
The pumping and carrying of water
is just one of the many tasks that
electricity is taking from the shorad-
ers of the modern farm wife. Little
electric light and power plants are
doing washing, ironing, sweeping,
churning and separating as well as
the pumping. And of course in addi-
ton to the cheap, convenient electric
power these electric plants are fur
nishing an abundance Of bright
electric light all over the house and
barns. Brightness, safety, convenience
and economy of labor are the things
which have recommended electricity
to thousands of farm homes and the
next few years will see this universal
servant employed as much by the
farmer and his family as by their
city neighbors.
