WALLACE's OPTIMISM.

(From the Parkersburg Sentinel.)
The period Of agricultural eX.
ploitation' in the United States IS
practically at an end, Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace said in an adj
dress at dinner given by the Stan
GarG Farm Papers Publishers As.
ISOLATION in New York If produc-
ton Is to be maintained, lie declar-
ed, every effort must be made to
put agriculture on a thoroughly
sound business basis in order chat
the farmer may be able to get
prices for his products which will
give him a fair rate of interest OH
the money he has invested and a
fair labor wage"
Constantly increased production
will not, alone. accomplish this end.
Mr. Wallace said, but must be sup.
plemented by better methods of dis.
tributioE which will give the con.
sumner in the city the farm products
with less waste and at less "rela-
tive cost"
THE corn farmer last year pro,
duced his crop at a cost Of some.
thing over 10 cents a bushel." tho
speaker said. "and when it was
ready for market found that the
price was about one-half or less of
the cost Of production Producers
of other grains, cotton. rice and
fruits were said to have had the
same experience.
This has resulted in condition
which may we'll challenge the best
thought Of the nation" Mr.. Wallace
said. mo good citizen can view
with satisfaction q situation in
which the purchasing power OF
about 40 percent of our. people ia
seriously impaired. OF course, we
know this situation will not con-
tinue. Already hopeful signs are
appearing.
Secretary Wallace is an earnest
man and the country is hopeful that
his optimism is wellfounded, but
to be frank, the Sentinel is unable
TO sec any decided trend for the
better.

The high cost of living" did not
worry the people in what is now
West Virginia i'll the early days.
There are many of the older people
of the state who can recall the
times when all the cherries that
anyone might want could be had
Cor the picking, when apples were
given awaJ 9leasurahiy and when
maple sugar and other delicaeies
were not considered as a means of
getting money.
Every farmer had a lane to his
house in the days of which refer
ence is made and this lane was
lined with cherry trces-most Of
them sweet ch srrics, but occasion
ely sour ones were encountered.
Any neighbor could have all the
cherries wanted for the picking
When people wanted some apples
IN those DAYS they put a sack
across their shoulder and stopping
st the first orchard asked for fruit.
The owner would direct the seeker
for apples to the best trees. where
ile SdCh W do Hlitu VIII never Il
thought of pay.
At maple sugar lime the visitors
at the sugar camp we're welcome to
drink all the sweet water wished
for and in most inttances were
urged to have hot spot taffy." The
plan was TO ladle out a spoonful Of
tie syrup at the proper time and
dip it into tinful of cold water
which made a sore of all day sucker
that was looked upon as a treat in
those times.
When chestnuts were ready for
marketing N the fall they were
bought up by the country stores
and set around IN baskets and bar
rels wit hno account taEen of all
that visitors at the store might eat
This is in great contrast to the
present day when a dozen chest
nuts sell for a nickel when Greek
beats meek.

Notes
a FINE SPIRIT.

A FINE SPIRl I.
The general result of the gather
ing of High School alumni at the
VI. H. s. auditorium last night, to
see and hear some entertainment by
some OF their own number, was eX-
ceedingly good, indicating a degree
OF alumni spirit of which every
alumnus may properly be proud,
and one which would do credit to
many schools many times as large
as the NJ Fl. S. The performance
was not professional one, of
course. and made no pretensions at
being finished: 1t was primarily an
excuse for getting the alumni to-
gether for an evening, secure some
funds whereby the banquet might
be staged later in the week on a
scale commensurate with It's i'm.
portance without involving financial
dangers, and To help r9viye associa-
tons formed in high school days,
In all OF those respects we believe
the affair was very successful, They
made money, they gave a perform
anee which was highly amusing and
diverting and there were hundreds
of alumni there. Manifestations
OF such a spirit mean much to the
school and to the community. the
alumni association furnishes a
ready-to-hand organized medium
for further certain programs of edu-
cation and community interests
which would not be readily accept
ed by other organization, and in the
fine spirit with which they gathered
last night there is the evidence that
the alumni are genuinely interested
in the school and its work.

OUR REPUTATION.
State Health Commissioner Hen.
shaw, speaking before a national
meeting Of state health officers, re-
ported considerable success In the
work in this county against typhoid.
and held up the communicative
county and the city-as a model.
What he said was, OF course, true,
but we doubt whether many of us
realize how fortunate we are in
this disease prevention work. The
sewage system has done much to
help eliminate the dangers, altho
it has net been in operation long;
but we have fine and pure water,
we'll delivered in the city, fine
climate without the rigors of the
North or the heat of the South, a
hardy manhood and womanhood,
close to good food which we produce
within the county. and we believe
in good clean living. The only fault
which we have to find with DR.. Hen
shaw's report was HAT, II we may
believe the newspaper reports, he
was inclined to PIT Us in the "ru-
raj class. Compared to New York
and Boston and Philadelphia we
may beong in the country, but as
matter OF fact our system is, by
necessity. that Of the city, carried
out on a small scale, Of course.
