Mr.. Hoover suggested that the rail-
roads could meet expenses on the

be realized. American mines, how

British price and resume production

Timely hitting by the Edgerton team
spelled defeat for Madison Sunday be-
fore the largest ccrowd that has wit
wessed ball game at the Capital City
this season.
The Trailers grabbed off one run in
first and was never headed. Whitley
led off with single, Maragi singled,
Janda sacrificed, both runners advanc-
ing. Silverthorn struck out and after
Taylor had two strikes, Whitley made
a clean steal of home. There was no
more scoring until the sixth, when
both teams counted. Edgerton scored
three TALES in this frame and Madison
one. Edgerton annexed two more in
the eighth and Madison duplicated this
in the ninth. The game was thriller
from start to finish, and was well
played. The errors played little part
in the score and Edgerton's victory
was well earned by consistent stick
work.

AMERICAS budget clearly shows that
the question of disarmament is the first
one to be answered before economy in
government affairs can be had. Twelve
per cent of the budget goes for the op-
GRAFTON of the ordinary and peaceful
functions of the government; all the
rest is swallowed by past and present
expenditures for war purposes. Sixty
eight per cent of the budget is required
tc take care of the outlay for past
wars, and twenty per cent of it goes
for the maintenance of the navy and
the army. In the phase of this situa-
tion disarmament is the biggest issue
before the American people today. But
everybody is up in the air as to work
able plan to bring about disarmament.
The League of Nations pact has not
put an end to alliances, open and secret,
between powers. England and Japan
are just now working to recast the
terms for renewed alliance as soon as
the old one terminates. These powers
talk reduction of armament, but con-
tinue to build their armies more effic-
lent and the navies larger. Under these
circumstances it is not strange that our
own administration is pretty much up
in the air about any definite plans for
disarmament

The i'll and infirrn 1fer not only be-
cause of the pain wiz ca follows disease,
but also, and more acutely, because
they aae deprived OF the pleasure of
work. The we'll and strong who can
go to their certain task every day and
who feel the pleasure of calling and
the inspiration of activity may not
fully realize how the invalid suffers be-
cause he is doomed to inactivity. His
mental desire for work is there, but his
physical disability stands in the way,
barring him from satisfying his desire.
Think of all the young soldiers who are
mentally alert, who long to work, but
who suffer from ailments which make
it impossible for them to do much work.
We think here of the tubercular, the
ones with a weak heart, the ones who'll
ly or partially paralyzed. And when
we remember that these young men
are bearing this cross because they
stood as our representatives to defend
US in the hour of danger, our hearts
can not but go out to them in SYM
patty. A grateful nation must find a
way of compromising them and of COM
forting them in their distress

Former secretary of agriculture, E.
7. Meredith, in Successful Farming
says:
MANY facts indicate that it is now
about time for the business pendulum
of the United States to return in the
direction of business recovery. And IN
the revival of business which is sure to
occur, we anticipate that farming will
be one of the first lines of business to
be benefited.
There are several reasons why the
farmer now should take an optimistic
view of his business situation. The
wheat carry-over from this season has
been the smallest in years. The latest
information indicates that the 1921 crop
is no larger than the 1920 crop.
Stocks of wheat at terminals and in
country elevators are reported to be
more than 90 percent lower than year
ago. The visible supply is the small
est in eighteen years.
The supply of -four in the hands of
merchants as we'll as consumers is very
low. There was 20 percent less -four
manufactured during the year ending
June 1st than during the preceding year.
Of vital interest to farmers is the
fact that there is a decided shortage in
livestock. If per capita consumption
of meat and meat products were sud
denly to return to normal, the demand
for meat would be far greater than the

THE tractor stays. The U. S. bu-
reau of public roads reports that where
the tractor has been given trial, it
stays The investigation of the bureau
resulted in the conclusion that farmers
in the grain states who have started to
use tractors for farm power will stick
to it. One-half of the farmers who
bought tractors in 1915 to 1917 are still
using the same machines; older ma
chimes have been replaced by new ones.
Only few have gone back to horse
power. The territories where tractors
are used have increased the acreage
under pillow. The question is no longer
tractor or no tractor, but what type
tractor is suitable to different types of
farms

STANDINGS OF THE TEAMS
The Phoebe, Of the FIycatcher Family.

The phoebe, a small, grayish-brown
bird, belongs to the flycatcher family.
It takes it's name from its monotonous
call, 'pewit, phoebe; phoebe, pewit,"
continuously repeated, as it flys about
in search of a habitation. The phoebe
preys on insects, which it captures
while on the wing. and is therefore of
benefit to farmers. The common
phoebe is also known as pewee and as
pewit. It. however, should not be
confused with the wood pewee, which
Is a different species of flycatcher.

The familiar expression ito take
French leave" arose in the early part
of the Eighteenth century, through
certain guests in the salons of France,
not aware of the higher acts of
courtesy, leaving without saying good
by to the host or hostess. The prac-
tice spread to society in other coun-
tries. Therefore, if man left with
out saying good-by to his host it was
said he took French leave"
