HE KNOWS THEM ALL
Vice President of Farmers Union a
Walking Geography

Arthur Valentine Swift, of Oregon,
vice president of the National Farm
ers' Union which just closed its annual
convention at Topeka, convinced
many people that he knows his Amer
ica-almost every bit of its 2.973, $50
square miles. Swift doubtless is the
nearest human imitation Of a postal
guide that has ever been in this city.
He is veritable walking geography.
Do you know what county Done
gal, Kan, is in? Can you give the
names of the counties that surround
this county? Can you. entirely Off
hand, locate all the other towns and
give similar information for each of
the 3,100 counties in the United
States?
If you cannot, your knowledge Of
American geography does not equal
that Of Swift. Although the Farmers
Union vice president farms 1900
acres Of land and Is director of an
enterprise with annual sales totaling 8
million dollars, he takes an active part
in the affairs Of the union and is right
hand man to Charles Barrett. nation.
al president.
To demonstrate the faculty Of his
colleague, President Barrett often
asks in what county visitor is born.
If, for example, Lexington county,
Kentucky, is the answer, Swift i'm
mediately says:
"Fayette Is the county seat of Lex
ington county. This county is sur
rounded by Bourbon and Clark on the
east, Scott on the north, Woodford on
the west and Jessaming and Madison
on the SOUTH"
"Where Is Donegal, Kan. may be
the next question.
Donegal - Donegal that's in
Dickinson county, think-northeas
Of Herington."
And so the answers come with
rarely a perceptible slip.

= ERMDOF BEAUTY

Dickinson county will have by next
July a hard surfaced road from ADJ
lene to the east line OF the county,
one OF the finest pieces OF pavement
in the nation and equal to any any
where. It follows a rich bOttOmland
where trees grow easily. What would
be finer than to line the road with
elms on both sides, making In ten
years a beautiful avenue that would
be one Of the attractions OF central
Kansas? The expense would be COM
paratively small and once started the
trees would rapidly become sturdy
and beautiful. An objection to trees
and shade on dirt roads is that they
prevent quick drying Of the soil; on
hard surfaced roads no such objection
exists and instead they make a de-
lightful shade In summer and break
for winter winds. Doubtless many
of the land owners along the road
would plant the trees on their own
and 1t would take only a lit
tie organization to secure complete
system.
Think what road Of beauty 1t
would be for fifteen miles were the
project carried out. Then when the
paving is carried on to Solomon the
same method could be followed and
In few years the Beauty Road
across Dickinson county would be one
Of the things tourists would remem-
Der and praise.
In New York 1000 elms are being
planted along the paved road between
Syracuse and Utica as memorial to
New York soldiers viii died In the
World War and 1t is proposed to
carry 1t across the state.
Dickinson could have memorial
road that would have touching SEN
timental significance as well. All it
needs is the leadership Of patriotic
organizations such as the Legion, ID.
A. r.. G. A. r., w. r. c., etc. The
people, the county, townships and
towns and land owners will do the
root

NOTHING SLOW ABOUT EN-
Taxes Coming in Fast This YeaI
Says County Treasurer

Other counties have been heralding
the fact that taxes are coming In in
hurry this year. Dickinson county
however is not to be outdone, accord
ing to F. Il. Giltner deputy county
treasurer, who declares that this
county at the close of business Mon
day, November u had received $4,-
600 more in tax payments this year
than last year during the same period.
1t is much more satisfactory for
the treasurer's- office to have taxes
come during the first month they are
due than to have the majority Of the
payments made during the last week
before the penalty is added and then
be obliged to employ extra help in the
office to handle the rush.

Judge Higgins, head Of the Indus
trial court, says that the governor
hands down decisions for the court
without consulting 1t and that ne
thinks the court really ought to try to
do something to stop the LABOR
troubles AMI strikes In the coal region.
The Judge is very unreasonable-lt
is SO simple to have the court run
politically and all its little laoors
taken off its shoulders that 1t may De
found advisable to extend the system
to the state Supreme court also. But
what is the use Of two courts when
one is not even functioning except
in political speeches and rows be-
tween the members and the governor!
A court should either function ana
work as a court Of justice or get on
the earth. Kansas has hoped much
from the Industrial court but unless
1t is something more than political
football it may as well be abolished

KANSAS RAILS WERE BUSY
Heavy Shipments Marked Past -Four
Months

Kansas railroads never were buster
than in July, August, September and
October, 1921. Figures received by
the Kansas public utilities commits
sion show that in these four months
the total car loadings were $751; 800,
as compared with 3O3,62S in the cor
responding months of 1920, and 346,-
IA in 1919, the highest previous rec
cord.
The record in Kansas is the more
remarkable in view Of the general de-
preston which is reflected by de-
crease in total car loadings In the
four months for the~entire United
States from 17,22S,7 2s In 1920 to
14,943,131 in 1921.
In the last four mouths 77,2lb cars
Of grain were loaded in Kansas,
which is 100 per cent more than In
any previous year. Grain products,
too. showed remarkable gain.

BRYAN AND HUGHES

What contrast there Is between
Bryan as Secretary Of State and
Charles Evans Hughes! When The
Commoner was the chief Of state the
American dollar abroad was consid-
cred as straying from home and such
vagraMcy was not entitled to any
protection. Hughes, the man Of WIS.,
ion, realizing that there is not enough
occupation In America for all her dol
lars, plans to encourage the finding
Of employment for them in useful and
creative pursuits abroad by assuring
them all the protection the State De-
partment can extend.
So we are returning to an intellt-
gent dollar diplomacy. American In
vestors, whose capital will be needed
sorely for the exploitation Of the re-
sources Of some Of the newer coun-
tries, like Czecko- Slavakia, will not
have to fear that its interest will not
be safeguarded. For the next gener'
alton at least American capital viii
be depended upon to reconstruct Q
war shattered world, and 1t expects
to receive fair compensation Tor mir
ing itself for this purpose. 1t will
proceed to this task with greater con
fidence with Secretary Of State con
stantly on the alert in its behalf.
What made Great Britain so pow
erful as a builder of colonies, and a
trade rival was the accepted con
q x.l,,sinn that wherever an EngliShmaI
was to be found there was the Unioi
Jack to protect him and this protec
ton extended to his capital investet
in good faith in foreign enterprises.
In the future let this also be SAT-
Of American citizens and their capita
that "Old Glory" follows them to se
that their rights are not tampere'
with. Hughes will be the father o
this new spirit.

MUST EDUCATE FOR PEACE

EmpOria, Nov. 18.-"Give the
schoolmasters Of all nations a proper
concept of the brotherhood Of man
kind and twenty-five years to teach
it, and the difficulty Of beginning an
other war will be increased a hundred
fold" said Prof. w. N. Carothers Of
the Kansas State Normal School In
discussing the armament conference.
1.-THE campaign against alcohol
carried on by the school for the past
twenty-five years was great fac
tor in abolishing booze. The Germans
were able to begin and carry on so
great a war simply because for years
they taught their children, in school
and out, that Germany was entirely
surrounded by enemies. Suppose they
had taught the children that Ger
many was entirely surrounded by
friends, the result would have been
radically different.
''Such spirit is taught uncon-
sciously as we'll as consciously. The
child catches the spirit of his elders"

THE FARMERS POSITION

George e. Roberts of the National
City Bank, New York, in summary
Of business conditions thus sensibly
describes the condition Of the pro-
Queer:
1.-THE unsatisfactory situation in
agriculture dominates the business
outlook. In the cotton states the rela-
lively high price of cotton has en-
couraged the farmer, but uncertainty
both as to demand for cotton goods
and as to the size of the admittedly
small crop has minimized the benefi-
cial effects Of better prices. Farm
ers In the grain states will hardly
break even on 1921 operations at cur
rent prices Of corn and wheat. While
1t Is true that the prices of goods used
by farmers have fallen, they are still
we'll above the 1914 level. Grains
are all close to or below pre- war
prices. In the face of these facts, the
contention is not we'll founded that
the farmer Is wilfully refusing to
buy, thereby delaying the return of
better times. / l. 10 /" -
1.-THE farmer represents about half
the consuming power Of the United
States. The prices Of crops are de-
termined in the international market,
and there are no reasonable grounds
for an expectation of marked in
creases IN those prices at any time
10 the Immediate future. Reduction
In the prices Of what farmers buy
would haxe exatly the same effect as
higher prices for agricultural pro-
ducts. 1t Is futile to contend that
because of high labor and transpor
tation costs the prices Of other arti-
cles and commodities cannot decline
to the level OF agricultural prices. If
ways are not found to lower the prices
of all classes of goods which they
need, and would like to buy, by
means Of lower money wages, higher
albor efficiency, cheaper transporta-
ton and lessened distribution costs,
the farmers themselves will not suf-
fer greatly, but business of all kinds
will be forced to operate on re-
stricte1 basis.
| with every evidence of easier
money conditions in the main CEN
tiers, relatively high rates are main
tanned in the agricultural regions of
the country where available funds
are limited. Considerable time al
ways elapses before the full benefits
Of cheaper money are generally felt,
but certain factors now operative
should not be lost sight Of in relation
to the future Of money rates. The
large volume Of money available fol-
short time investments, as Evidenced
by the heavy over subscription to the
United States Treasury Certificates,
issued at lower rates than heretofore
and the active market for prime com
} mercial paper is partly the result OF
the unsatisfactory business situation
Manufacturers and / merchRnts who
have liquidated Their stocks find
themselves with idle funds because
there is so narrowa market for then
product that they cannot keep theil
funds employed IN their own opera
tions. Such money Is. available fol
short time Investment only"

Have Storm Doors at Last

After two years Of effort Acting
Postmaster Shearer has secured from

swinging doors at the east end Of the
postoffice lobby, protecting the inter-
ior from the constant drafts of cold

Nothing is done around a postoffice
without bids. The postmaster could
have a mail box set for dollar but
he must have bids and by the time
all the bidders figure on the specifi-
cations it costs three or four dollars.
