JEWS DENOUNCE
NEW PROPAGANDA

people of America have at last
spoken in no uncertain terms against
The proganda that has been used
against them for number oil
months by Henry Ford and others
who seek, as they claim to mis-
repl esent their attitude before the
American people. The document is
signed by the leading Jewish peo-
pie, of all activities, in every sec
ton Of the country.
In closing the statement the fol
lowing appeal is made:
I'VE have an abiding confidence
in the spirit of justice ana fairness
that permeateS the true American

citizens will not permit the cam
paign of slander and libel that has
been launched against US to go un,
reproved. There is enough for all
of us to do in the great task ol
building up our common country
and of developing the principles on
which il was founded. Let moi
hatred and MISUNDERSTANDING arise
where peace and harmony, unity
and brotherlineSS are required tc
perpetuate all that America repre-
sents and to enable all men to
know that within her wide bounda'
ries there is no room for injustice
and intolerance.

as the result of confidence ol

Port Au Prince, Dec. 1O-"Eye
Witness the special correspond

has been giving careful observation
of conditions in Haiti, has declared
that drunkenness is at the bottom
of most of the trouble in the repub-
lie, but the drunkenness is among
the white foreigners, some officials
and not the natives His statement
is most remarkable, and he says:

FARM BUREAU

W. a"'o
Of articles on The Farm Bureau. Pre-
vious articles discussed the organiza-
ton of the Farm Bureau, both the
state and American and gave the gen.
eral plan of work. The Educational
and Legislative branches were dis
cussed in the last article. In this
article the Economic phase will be
discussed.
The object of the Economic Branch
OF the Farm Bureau is to extend CO.
operative marketing of farm chops to
the point in the distribution system
cured for the producer. and incident
ally for the u 1t aims to
limit the profits and reduce the costs
of distribution in all lines not handled
comparatively. The farm Bureau
wishes to so estimate the effective
world supply of any farm product and
10 so regulate the flow to market as
to eliminate sharp and extreme price
fluctuations This branch will also
work to establish new foreign mar
kets for surplus American farm pro-
ducts.
For years many of the largest bust
ness concerns have largely controlled
marketing conditions of the American
farmers. These houses have taken adj
vantage Of the present marketing sys-
TENS and prolted largely thereby.
Farmers in various sections OF our
country have, because Of their pecu-
liar locality, settled on one main cash
crop. This crop may be wheat, cotton.
corn, potatoes, etc. Because of finan-
cial conditions OF the average or ma
iority of farmers, il was necessary to
market their product as quickly after
maturity as possible in order to ges
money to meet their debts and carry
on their business. Most of them had
not the capital or storage capacity
to hold their product. Large financial
interests took advantage of this sys-
TEN of marketing and forced the
prices downward during the market
ing period. As oon as the greater
part of the product was marketed the
prices began to rise. This is one kim
Of price manipulation the Farm Blu
reau is going to correct If it takes a
lifetime. Farmers will no longer
stand by and see the profits of the
fruits of their labor go into the hands
of spectators and market %manipula-
tors.
The farmers do not wish to fix
prices or receive exhorbitant prices
for the commodities they produce.
However they do wish and are entitled
to a fair return on their investment
and labor. Repeating a passage in a
previous article, "The farmers hour
and the fruits of his labor must be
made commensurate to the city labor
er's hour and the fruits of his labor"
The only hope of this coming to pass
Is through effective farmer organiza-
ton The Farm Bureau is the logical
organization through which this may
be expected. This Federation is
sponsored by the u. s. and State De-
partments of Agriculture. 1t is basil
cally correct and is developed from
the ground up This organization is
made up of farmers, is Differed by
farmers and is financied by farmers.
Hence 1t has a right to expect and is
receiving beyond expectations the
hearty cooperation of farmers every
where.
Next week the work of Executive
Branch will be discussed.)
