Farmers Will Demand That Certain
Measures Be Placed In Party
Platforms


Recognition for farmers will be
asked of the platform makers Of
the two great political parties at
their June conventions by represent
atives of the various farm Organlza-
lions of the country. This action
was decided on in Chicago at the
meeting of the National Board OF
Farm Organizations. According to
Charles A. Lyman, national secre-
tary of the board, it was the general
opinion of the delegates that the
food producers never had received
the attention of either the Republi-
can or the Democratic party to which
they were entitled. it was their
purpose, he said, to send represent
atives to the Chicago and the San
Francisco conventions with demands
that they be recognized in the for
nation of party platforms ana to
throw the weight of their support at
the November election to that party
which gave the greatest consider
alton to the farmer in the party
declaration of principles.
The main points which farmers
will insist on were outlined by r D.
Cooper, of Little Falls, n. Y. Ehey
follow:
Right of collective bargaining by
agricultural interests as set forth in
the pending Capper-Herman bill.
Conservation of forests, with a
view to keeping down the cost to
consumers of print paper and lum
Der.
Payment of the war debt through
direct taxation on "those best able
to pay" meaning corporations ana
persons who acquired great wealth
during the war.
Reduction of the high cost OF liv-
ing through elimination of the mid
dleman and provision of more direct
dealing with the consumer.
Appointment of a Secretary of
Agriculture who knows practical
farm conditions.
Legislation against corporations
and individuals acquiring great
tracts of land as means of reducing
farm tenancy.
Equal rights to corporations and
others in transportation facilities.
Federal control of the packing in
dustry.
Arrangements for more elastic
credits for farmers.
Opposition to universal military
training, if such is to be made a
plank of party platform.

YOUR LIBERTY BOND.

The United States Government
borrowed money from you to finance
the War. You hold the Govern
ment's promise to pay you back.
This promise is called a Liberty
Bond or Victory Note. On this
Bond is stated the conditions under
which the Government borrowed
from you.
For instance: If you hold a Bond
of the Third Liberty Loan, it states
that on April 18th and October 18th
Of each year until maturity, you will
receive interest on the amount you
paid for the Bond. Other issues
bear other rates of interest and other
maturity dates, all of which are
clearly stated on the Bond.
Now, if you keep your Bond until
the date when the Government pays
you in full for it, you do not need to
worry if, in the meantime, the price
is low one day or high the next
You and Uncle Sam are living up to
your agreement with each other, and
neither will lose by it.
On the other hand, if you sell your
Liberty Bond now, you will find that
the man you sell it to will not give
you a dollar for every dollar you
paid for it. The price has been
brought down because so many PEG
pie are offering to sell their Bonds
If the market is flooded with toma-
toes, you can buy them cheap, but il
everyone is clamoring for tomatoes
and there are few to be had. the
price goes up. The same is true OF
Liberty Bonds. Short-sighted people
are dumping them on the market
and wise ones are buying them.
The best advice that can be given
to the owner of a Liberty Bond is
this: Hold the bond you bought dur
ing the war; it is as safe and sound
as the United States Government
itself.
Buy as many more at the present
low rate as you can afford. If you
hold them to maturity, you are
bound to make the difference be.
tween what they sell at now and
their face value. You will also re-
ceive good interest on your invest
ment.
Hold on to your Liberty Bonds and
buy more.

Health In The Schools.


Medical Supervision of Schools
and the Communicable Diseases by
DR.. E. Blanche Sterling, M. D.,
United States Public Health Service,
Perryville, Maryland, who has been
making physical examination of
the school children of Cecil County.
Frequently children are kept
home from school because of the fear
of their parents that the children
may "catch" some disease if they are
allowed to remain in school. With
no health supervision of the schools,
and teachers absolutely unframed in
the simplest principles of the preven-
ton of disease, such fears are not
entirely unfounded 1t is quite true
that Mrs. Smiths little girl may die
of scarlet fever, or suffer a diphther-
itic paralysis because Mrs. Browns
little girl went to school during the
onset of a mild attack of scarlet
fever or diphtheria, when a sore
throat was the only suspicious symp-
tom. Mrs. Browns little girl was
not really ill, and her mother never
suspected the presence of virulent
germs in her throat, even though she
had heard that the little Jones boy
was quite sick with a bad sore
throat. Mrs. Brown intended no
harm, but Mrs. Smiths little girl
should have been protected. And
she should have been protected in
the school. Mr.. Smith pays his taxes
for the support of the school in order
that his daughter may be educated.
If because of conditions in the school
she is obliged to stay out, or if the
school is closed during an epidemic
when it might have been kept open,
the county will have to explain toI
Mr.. Smith this waste of his money.
1t is no economy to fail to provide
the health supervision that would
help to protect the children from
preventable disease. No merchant
would think he was saving money by
closing his store two days week in
order to cut down his overhead
charges, nor would the farmer think
he was getting his moneys worth out
of the hired man who stayed home
half of the time. 1t has been dem
onstrated that, with proper health
supervision, schools may be kept
open during the epidemic. The pro
vision of this health supervision is a
duty the county owes not only to its
children, but to it's taxpayers as we'll.
The methods of providing this SUI
pervision are, of course, various, and
depend upon the conditions to be
met. With the backing of the Board
of Education, it is possible for the
expert in school hygiene to devise a
method suited to practically any
locality and conditions. The coun-
try is being educated to demand
higher standards of health, and it il
a demand that will have to be met
The time has come when the peopll
are willing to pay more for the sup
port of their schools, but they will
demand that the schools shall be
worth it. Perhaps they will inquire
why the teachers are idle part of the
time while the schools are closed ;,
why the children are not protected
in the schools, and why the teachers
are not required to fit themselves for
intelligent cooperation with the
health supervisor. These are al.
pertinent questions.

About Rheumatism.

People are learning that it is only
waste of time and money to take
medicine internally for chronic and
muscular rheumatism, and about
ninety-nine out. of a hundred cases
are one or the other of these va
rieties. All that is really necessary
to afford relief is to apply Chamber
lain's Liniment freely. Try it. It
costs but So cents per bottle. Large
size 60 cents.

Suggestion For a Camping Erin.

Buy a bottle of Chamberlaln's
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy before
leaving home. AS rule it cannot
be obtained when on a hunting, fish
ing or prospecting trip. Neither can
it be obtained while on board the
cars or steamships and at such times
and places it is most likely to be
needed. The safe way is to have it
with you.
