SMOOTH Git We, If Ye Don't Watch Out

nURING the debates in congress
~ over the appropriation bills for the
departments there were thousand
and one outbreaks over the 'army of
employees" Some were "bitter
clashes;" others were amusing.
Senator Smoot of Utah on one occa-
sion attacked an agricultural depart
ment item. He said there were now
$1,000 employees in Washington, as
against 10000 to $4,000 before the
war. Senator Gronna of North Da-
kota agreed with Senator Smoot in
general, but defended the particular
bureau, contending that an increase
in the force was necessary because it
was overworked. Thereupon Senator
Smoot said in part:
Mr.. Smoot-I am going down to that
division of the department, for I
should like to see it. / should like
to see one department of our govern
ment whose clerks are 0verworked.

Not Every Farmer Owns a Gold Mine

CONSIDERABLE light is thrown on
- the question of farm profits in a
bulletin just issued by the United
States Department Of Agriculture, CIV
ing the results of a study through
period of five to seven years of the
business of 1S5 farms in three areas,
one each in Ohio. Indiana and Wiscon-
sin.
1.-The average farm income OF 20
farmers In Palmer township, Washing
ton county, Ohio" the bulletin says,
"sor the seven years 1912 to 1918 was
S610, the labor income $276, and the
return on the capital 4.6 per cent
''The average farm income Oh 60
farmers in Forest and johnson town
ships, Clinton county. Indiana, for the
seven years 1910 and 1913 to 1918 was
S1,S56, the labor income S55S. and the
return on capital 81 per cent.
1.-The average farm income of 60
farmers in Verona and adjacent town
ships. Dane county, Wisconsin, for the
five years 1913 to 1917 was S1,293, the
labor income S40S, and the return on

past we deemed it proper to accept
gifts from potentates, why is it igno-
minious now for us to accept gifts
from American citizens who, in the
opinion of the President of the United
States, seek to present to us objects
which it is desirable for the United
States to possess? Time and time
again we have authorized the accept
ance of gifts of various kinds and of
great value"
Guilford Court House, the Lincoln
birthplace, and Lafayette National
park, are gifts. Muir Woods National
monument in California was present
ed to the nation by William Kent.
Grandfather mountain, in North Car
DINA. has been offered to the govern
ment for national park. The will of
Joseph Battell of Middlebury, VT, de-
vises 1000 acres of Green mountains
forest for the same purpose.
Stephen t. Mather, director of the
national park service, has made gifts
largely in excess of 100000 in value.
Some multinillionaire could make
his name immortal and deserve well
of his country by establishing big
fund for the development of the ma
tional park system and the national
park-to-park highway.

a devout man does his duty better
