Indiyidualisn on the Farm.

THE attitude of the average citizen toward
the whole situation OF the farmer at this
time, or any other, should be influenced if
not determined by fundamental and incontro-
vertible fact.
This is that the farming community nationally
considered with its almost universal possession
OF property, is the great safeguard in this country
against Communistc theories. 1t is of the utmost
poltcal-using the word in its broadest and funda-
mental sense-mportance that this individualism of
the farmer be preserved.
Leaving out of consideration all the economic
reasons, the economic relations of the farmer to
national prosperity, everyone should appreciate the
need of preserving this ndivdualism OF the farmers
for our national political safety and soundness.
To preserve this it is essential that farmers in
their communities must have that national consd-
Grafton which is demanded and that Congress
is seeking to provide. 1t must be made unnecessary
for them to attempt by combination to withhold
their products from market through organized
effort
1t must be demonstrated in ways that farmers
will realize and appreciate in results that the mar
keting processes provided for or by him, or in CO.
operation, nearly possible completely free
from selfish manipulation They must be demon
strated returning him the largest possible re-
turn for his intelligent industry and investment.
ing process, the right and the opportunity to exer-
else his personal judgment to when he shall sell
his product where and at what price. Given this
his individualism will itself He will develop
his personal judgment and become in himself a
soundly conservative business man.
To this end every possible facility should be
provided him which to base this judgment and
he should know intimately all the market processes
which concern his business a producer. 1t should
not be necessary for him to be bound or held to
any pledge to organized action which may easily
lead him to financial loss, to consequent discomfort
and to possibly being the victim OF manipulators
in the guse of friends
To this end the Secretary OF Agriculture in
every administration, should be man in whom the
farmers have the utmost confidence and who init
mately knows their problems. There should also
be a marketing commission devoted wholly to
studying market processes with the object of main
tanning a wholly free market, reducing the spread
between producer and consumer and providing the
farmer with every facility for exercising his per-
sonal judgment to the selling value of his own
products

There Is a Better Way.

"Whether the Commissioner of Patents should
have the power to make rules and enforce them in
connection with disbarment for improper practice,
is of the more important matters to be settled
by the conference committee"
This statement as to provision in the bill to
reorganize the Patent Office law condemns the pro-
vision without further argument. 1t is fundamen-
tally bad and may be made worse by political cond
tions which might be elements largely influencing
final action.
1t is manifestly unfair to make any person judge
and jury as to infractions of rules laid down by
himself The personal element enters too largely
as does temperament which has no. right place in
judicial action.
The attorney would have right Of appeal from
the commissioner to the Secretary of the Interior
But here come in political influences and the fact
that the subordinate officer is important factor
in the departments organization.
In any case of much importance, which would
array the patent attorneys or less body
against the commissioner, the Secretary might have
no other choice than to sustain the decision, dis
miss his subordinate. Also the commissioner could
have and might powerful political influence to
support his position.
There is no sufficient reason that the appeal
should not be to the courts. This at least would
give ultimate protection from wholly dsinterested
But far better than this the rules governing pat
cnt practice should be laid down in the first instance
by the patent attorneys themselves Possibly they
should have the approval of the commissioner, or
be framed in conjunction with him.
1t should then rest with a committee on ethics
to bring the charges for nraction and conduct the
trial before the commissioner with the final right
of appeal to the courts either after decision by
the Secretary or without such intervention.
This is not a novel plan 1t is but adapting to
patent attorneys and their practice, the usual GUS
tom with attorneys practicng before the courts.
1t is process that is frequently used 1t places
upon the attorneys the responsibility of protecting
their own practice, and, the honor and standing of
their profession.
1t is far preferable, too, from the standpoint of
the commissioner who would be freed of any
charge of prejudice and from the personal respOn-
sibility of being both Judge and, schoolmaster.
The Washington herald., 1921-01-24
Prefer Prevention.

1t is proverbially but step from the sublime
to the ridiculous. 1t is farther from the serious
to joke. 1t is highly improbable that Mr.. Harding
will begin his administration by taking any such
step.
He will know where he is to land before
stepping If he asks foreign governments to dis
cuss with him revision of the league of nations,
or the forming of association of nations, he
will make of the reply before issuing the invi-
tation.
Equally cautious foreign governments will re-
quest information to which proposition and just
What proposition they will be asked to discuss, be-
fore they give advance assurance of their accept
ance.
With the apparent purpose of saving Mr.. Hard
ing any embarrassment, foreign correspondents are
just now sending stories to the attitude of for
eign governments regarding the future Of the league
of nations. These to be inspired.
Bismarck was not the only national leader who
had newspaper organs to use in forestalng or
shaping international action These still found
in all European countries. Often it is easier to
prevent than meet; it is easier to present argu-
ments, bluff through publicity than through dip
omatc channels.
1t would seem that these governments are using
this familiar means of informing Mr. Harding in
advance that they will discuss with him readjust-
ments of the Versailles treaty with changes in the
league covenant. They regard neither as sacred
textualy, in their provisions.
y But they are also letting it be known that it
will be embarrassing to him to ask them to throw
aside the present league to discuss new asSocia-
ton. They certainly do not wish to rebuff this
government by refusing such invitation, and SO
take the easier way of preventing it.

Shark Fishing Becomes
Established Profession

The shark industry on the Canad-
ian Pacific coast is reported as
having developed into an estab-
lished profession. Shark fishermen
are still making good money, and
are also making records in big
creatures caught. The sharks are
what is known as of the mud"
variety. ground-feeders at great
depth and entirely harmless to
human beings. They live in great
numbers in the deep inlets of the
coast and are valuable for their
livers, their skins, and the fertiIi-
zation values of their flesh and
bones.
At Main Island. on the coast near
Vancouver Island. the shark fish
ermen are catching very large
mud sharks at a depth of 100 and
1875 feet. Some have been 35 feet
long. and one skipper of a coast
steamer declares one body he saw
was at least 40 feet long from nose
to tail.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES CAUSE
PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTION.

The physical properties. and not
the chemical structure, of drugs and
other substances are the principal
causes of their physiological effect
on living cells," said DR.. c. L. Ais
berg. chief of the Bureau of Chem
istry. in his address before the joint
meeting of the Washington Academy
of Sciences and the Chemical Society
Thursday evening.
According to modern theory, liv-
ing cells have foam-like structure
with a surface of film which is
composed of fat-Iike substances call
ed lipoids. he explained. Certain
substances can pass through this
cell exterior with ease, and it has
been found that these are soluble e
in fats and oils and not easily solu-
BILE in water. On the other hand,
the substances that are easily water
soluble find the membrane a bar
rier.
The common narcotics, such as
ether and chloroform, are among
those substances that get inside the
cells. and they affect the nerves
because the nerve ceHs are rich
in liPofds, the speaker explained.
"A person could live in an at
mosphere containing small amounts
of chloroform," said, DR.. Alsberg.
There must be sufficient vapor pres
sure to force the narcotic substance
through the cell wall before the
narcotic effect can result, he ex-
planned.
These facts are being used in
the new branch of science that is
being developed by the Bureau of
Chemistry in cooperation with the
Bureau of Plant Industry and the
Bureau of Entomology. In this work
new insecticides and fungicides are
being developed, and the problem
is to find substances nontoxic to
man and toxic to insects that can
be used in spraying and dusting
plants without danger to the hut
man beings who may consume their
fruits:
