CIDER TAX ADDS TO
FARMERS WORRIES
Disregarding Shrinking Farm Values,
Democratic Cider Mill Will
Squeeze Revenue From
Farmers.

More trouble for the farmers is
being brewed. Collector of Inter-
nal Revenue, John A. Grogan has
learned that many farmers along
concrete roads sell cider by the
glass, the gallon or the barrel to
passing automobiles, and he insists
that they pay the federal tax on all
sales. If person stops at a far
mer's and buys a glass of cider for
five cents the vendor must make note

isfaction the fact that migrating birds
do not travel a certain distance each
day when on the move. but Inger
wherever the food is good. If going
South, they nearly always move on
when a storm approaches, reminding
them of winter. altho it has hereto
fore been believed that storms would
interrupt their travels. Baldwin was
unable to determine whether the birds
recognize the signs of an approaching
storm and travel ahead of it, or
whether they travel in it.
The wild ducks. geese, and shore
birds are among the most important
varieties to be studied by this method.
They are of the greatest value for food
and sport. and their protection under
modern conditions depends upon an
accurate knowledge of their migra-
ton habits. A member of the bird
banding association at Windsor, Ont,
has been trapping and banding wild
fowls for many years. and has per-
fected the methods SO that the scien-
lists say they will have no difficulty
in banding thousands of these birds,
and in solving many of the mysteries
of their far travels.
This is probably the first and GER
tainly the greatest cooperative ma
tional effort in the study of bird
habits ever undertaken. and it should
have the support of all who have the
knowledge and the time to help.

ANOTHER COOLIDGE.

New Orleans, and long way from a
strike of policemen to a strike of union
laborers on an industrial canal under
construction by the state but the mind
of John NJ. Parker, newly elected gov

with that of Governor Coolidge.
Governor Parker delivered an ulti-

who left their jobs on the canal at

JUST FOLKS
he FRIENDS WHO BACK YOU UP.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

THE FRIENDS WHO BACK YOU UP.
It's the friends who are behind you you
depend on all the while,
Not the friends you'll meet tomorrow or
the friends of pomp and style;
When you're up against battle for a goal
or silver cup.
It's the old friends who are with you, for
they always back you up.
You don't have to turn to see them, you
tust know that they are there,
They follow where you're going and they re
with you everywhere;
You can center your attention on the work
you have to do,
For YOU know should danger threaten that
your friends are back of you
Afraid? Go forward bravely. you don't
have to fight alone,
There are good friends glad to follow and
they'll make their presence known;
Tho the throng grows thick about you and
your faith is sorely tried,
Friends are coming up behind you and
they'll battle at your side.
The new friend may desert you but the old
friends never do,
They'll share in every danger and they'll
gladly see you thru;
You can face the world undaunted, you can
fight when foes attack
And bank on the assurance that your
friends are at your back.

Everything points to an old time

we have not had in a dozen years.
Much OF the wealth OF Kansas has
been built up on corn. 1t is the most
profitable crop grown in the state
when a good yield can be obtained. 1t
can be produced and harvested almost
without any cash outlay. 1t can be
marketed. when converted into beef
and pork. more cheaply than any
other crop. The yield in bushels of
an acre is from two to three times
that Of wheat. An acre Of corn will
return more money with much less
expense than will an acre of wheat.

the old days when seasons were more
dependable. it was no unusual thing
for a farmer to liant. cultivate and
harvest from forty to eighty acres of
corn almost unaided. He could do the
entire job himself II It were necessary.
Among the richest agricultural states
in the Union are Iowa and Illinois
and their wealth is built on corn.

THIS PASSING WoRLD.

One of the most inspiring words in
the English language is the word
Forward"
Your eyes are always looking-for-
ward. The greatest aspirations of the
heart and plannings of the brain
are connected with things ahead
and of greater import.
We fight. sacrifice, struggle hard
an long-fail, that we may risei
Onward and forward is the theme
of human endeavor.
And the healthy heart fully under
stands. This is a passing world. While
we think. we both die and-live for
everi Like the chambered nautilus,
we are all the time building a new
covering for our life just a little
ahead.
But it is how we interpret these
events as they pass that really esta.--
fishes our right to a part in them
for the man who thinks Alright with
the things of his time has already
made himself one of the handlers of
them.
This is a passing world. But it
passes with all the emotions of the
human heart at their task.
While this world passes along, we
may keep adding to it and increasing
the happiness of its passengers-for
the happier people are about you. the
happier you are bound to be- It is
impossible to give much without get
ting something at least, in return.
Keep going forward. Let the un-
happy experiences pass. They are
soon forgotten. like the rainy day that
is followed by the sunny day.
Today alone matters.
This passing world is jealous II
demands much of those who are fit
and capable. For there is only a little
while in which to do all that there is
to be done. And even while these
things are being done, the world walks
Keep thinking and working and
doing-all the time.

The federal department of agricul-
ture presents figures to show that it
costs the American farmer on an av-
erage s2.15 a bushel to grow wheat.
The survey included costs in nearly
five hundred farms. On two farms in
vestigated the cost of growing bushel
was placed at or under one dollar, but
in number the cost was greater than
the average. 1t appears. therefore,
that 1t is up to the 49S to adopt the
method of the two that produced
wheat for less than a dollar.

THEIR LANGUAGE is PLAIN.

The Republican party is being ac-
cused by its opponents of a lack of defi-
niteness and directness in it's declara-
tions of principles. formulated at Chi
cago. However these charges may APP
ply in the main they do not hold good
in connection with the platform utter
ances on the subjects of government
ownership of railroads and labor. On
these the party's language is plain.
The Republicans declare, without
qualification. that they are opposed
to government ownership and opera
ton or employe operation of the rail-
roads" On the general question of
the relations between capital and labor
or rather between employers and
employ ed--the position of the party
is stated with a degree OF precision
unusual in political platforms. The
declaration is in agreement with the
accommodation of the second of the
Industrial conferences held at Wash
ington, upon the presidents call. in
which Mr.. Hoover is understood to
have been the leading influence. 1t
recognizes "the justice of collective
bargaining" 1t denies the right to
strike against the government"
In the case of public utilities, it IA
vors 'the establishment of an impair
tial tribunal to decide disputes, the
on to secure their acceptance" and
the tribunal to refuse to accept juris-
diction. except for the purpose OF in
vestigation, so long as the public serv-
ice is interrupted" In private indus
tries, it does mot advocate the prin-
cipIe of compulsory arbitration" but
favors impartial commissions and
ton, Cancellation and arbitration, sup
plemented by the full publicity which
will enlist the influence of an aroused
public opinion"
The position thus laid down, both
on railroad operation and ownership
and on industrial relations generally,
say The Weekly Review, has already
aroused the antagonism of prominent
labor leaders. In the course of the
campaign it will doubtless be branded
with that cheap and handy epithet,
''reactionary;" but it is reactionary
only on the assumption that every
thing that does not contemplate rad
ical change in the economic order is
reactionary. To sober American lib
erals it will appeal as a straightfor-
ward statement of a program of in
telligent progress towards a lettering
of industrial conditions. 1t is a ques-
ton of interest whether the Democrats
will make a bid for the labor vote by
writing into their platform a decla-
ration contrasting with this Such a
move is quite within the possibilities
even the probabilities. of the situation
And If the San Francisco convention
should put forward a plank designed
to satisfy the demands of labor-uniou
extremists, and to appeal to the pre-
objections of the semi-socialist intel
lectuals," 1t is by no means impossi-
BILE that the issue thus drawn will be-
come the leading issue of the cam
paign.
