DEMANDS OF FARMERS
 BECOMING EXCESSIVE

Washington December 0-(Special. J. There appears a danger that the farmers will demand themselves out of court
 and lose the power which now they wield,
 for the first time possibly, in Congress. 1 It is already said in cloak rooms that the l farmers are going too far. The fate of 1 the lobby of organized labor is cited a- a precedent.
 | George P. Hampton, managing direc- tor of the farmers national council, has undertaken to enlist the farmers in a mov enent to restore the railroads to uni fled management. to restore government tai operation. ownership, possibly. The farmers last February memoriaiizeo Congress to conclude governmental op- eration and restore the railroads to their private owners.
 Mir. Hampton declares that the crop of the farmers this year is valued at @, 900 COG, coo, and that one-third of the value must be paid to railroads. He ar gues that disaster will confront the far mers unless private management be ended.
 n-the same line, Herbert F. Baker, president of the farmers national coun- cil. has demanded of Congress the crea- tion of a corporation similar to the United States Grain corporation, to pur- chase the wheat crop at the bulk line cost of production, and to retain control thereof and regulate elevator and milling companies so as to prevent profiteerinS, until the wheat is ready as flour in the hands of bakers. The plan is to name
 farmers 10 control this corporation, far mers, representatives of labor unlons' and organizations of women. It is safe prediction that neither the first nor the second scheme will receive the earnest attention of Congress. Anc Congress wants to help the farmer.

Great Electrical Concern Goes to Alabama College for.
 Most of Its Experts

Auburn, December O.-tSpecial )--Au- thorities at Auburn have been much in tcrested in the recent vist to the col lege Of a representative of the Westing- house Electric and Manufacturing com pany Of East Pittsburg, one of the largest electrical concerns in the world Harry P. Sparks. who himself is an alumnus of the college, having been a member of the class of 1915, was sent by the company and spent four days at Au- burn, looking over the present engineer ing student body with the view of ob- taining engineering apprentices.
 He stated that the stinghouse com pany accepts larger number of engi- neeis from Auburn than from any other insci,ution in the world Auburn has all ways sent many graduates to the Vest inghouse people. and for the last six years statistics show the record to be 5.02 per cent of all other apprentices taken over the entire country. Perdue university of IllinoisOranks next, with a record of 3.01 per cent. Auburns engi- neering output numbers annually aoout 60 in a college of 1,ooo enrolled students, while Perdue has a much larger total from it's 1000 students.
 Mir Sparks bought a graphic Watt meter of the Kelvin balance type, which is the latest thing in meter apparatus. and which is on the market due to his individual efforts. Auburn is the only other institution in the country owning this type of instrument. which MT, Sparks arranged as a special compliment to his former instructor.

 The President-elect did not hastily or blatantly express his desire that a depar- ture be made from the rather drab af- fairs in which the inaugurals of Presi- dent Wilson resulted. Instead of ex- pressing himself directly. he remained silent for some weeks. and then declared his desire that Mclean make arrange merts. Everybody knows what Harding meant when he said. Mclean

 JOB FOR MILAN
 Regarding the report that Mclean will be a power in the Harding adminstra- tion, nothing definite is at hand as yet. However Sit is whispered that MT. Me Lean would welcome an opportunity to represent the United States at the court of St. James.
 During the campaign, the Post was ar dent in it's support of Mr Harding. Fol lowing the campaign, Mir. Harding ln- vited MT Mclean to accompany him on his trip to Panama. When MT. Harding subsequently came to Washington it was al MT McLean's home that he was en- tertained. And then Mclean was named by Harding as chairman of the inaugu- ration festivities.
 MT. Mclean is a millionaire. and finds time after publishing his newspaper to indulge the appetite of a sportsman ana enjoy the good things of life.

SPAIN AND ENGLAND REPORTED FORMING
 AN ALLIANCE NOW
Rx Associated Press

Madrid. December 19- Although Mar
 ouis de Lena, Spanish foreign minister,
 was noncommital today when questioned
 regarding the reports of an important
 treaty having been concluded between
 Spain and Great Britain, there is incli- nation in highest political circles here
 to give credit to the indications which have found publicity recently from va
 rious quarters that Spain intends to break away from the isolation which has been her policy since the restoration or the monarchy.
 The foreign minister's informal 1tate-
 ment was that he was unable to give a definite reply to the inquiry regarding the reported Anglo-Sps.nish treaty, but he remarked that the relations between the two countries were of the most cordial nature.
 Inquiries made of cabinet members in an effort to obtain statement TOT puo- lication developed nothing of that nature,
 the minister declining to be quoted. u IS
 generally admitted, however, that con- versations have been progressing TOT sew eral months with a view to the nesotia- ton of a strong commercial convention with Great Britain. It is argued on many sides that such convention would bs purely logical outcome of present condl- tions, as Spain is in need of foreign counsel and assistance to aid in her de- velopment.
