Farmers Criti-
ciSmS

About forty members Of the Cham
Der of Commerce were out for the noon
day luncheon Wednesday.
Following a very excellent repass,
President McCOrisOn made several brief
announcements and then called upon
e. G.. Steubs, manager Of the Lady
smith Cooperative creamery, who pre-
sented some interesting facts in regard
TO the institution Stating that the La
dysmith creamery had paid out over
$4,000 70 the farmers for butter-fd
in 1921. up to Nov. /, Mr.. Steubs de-
with the farmers, but found its way
into the channels Of trade and benefited
every line of business here
More capital was the creamery s
present need, said Mr. Steubs. A laf-
ger working capital would enable the
creamery to pay cash for all cream as
soon as received and being unable TO
do this was the reason why many
farmers patroniZed the outside cream
buyers
ASSemDiyman Ialle0 On
ID. ]. Summeryille was then called
upon to talk on the topic: How the
Farmers Like Ladysmith' and in the
course Of his remarks brought out some
very good points and suggestions.
Mr. Summerville prefaced his 70
marks with the declaration that the
farmers did like Ladysmith, which OK
planned the large farmer patronage OF
the dealers here, although there were
things. to be criticized and that should
be improved. He spoke Of the lack of
hitching facilities, now that the hitch
ing sheds had been removed and stated
that about thirty teams was now the
limit that could be housed in this city
at one time.
Mr.. Summervilie voiced the strong
opposition of the farmers to clearing
in order to make it possible to main
tain automobile traffic. maintaining
that the time was premature for doing
this He stated that hundreds Of farm
ers were depending upon the hauling
of wood for their livelihood during the
winter and declared that good sleigh
ing was necessary for doing this haul
ing.
Another cause of complaint cited by
Mr.. Summeryille was lack of courtesy
to the farmers on the part of some OF
the merchants. He declared that cour-
teous treatment would go a long way
toward holding the farmer trade.
| After the conclusion of Mr.. Summer
, villes remarks, Pres. McCOrison de-
clared that Mr.. Summerville had pre-
sented some very timely and valuable
points and that no doubt some good
would come of it.

BRANDING RECKLESS DRIVING.

An editorial in the Saturday Evening Post con-
tans a, recommendation for one method of treat
ment to be applied to reckless automobile drivers
and those who in any way violate the rules of ordi-
nary safe traffic. The recommendation is that such
persons on being convicted and subjected to such
other penalty as the law may provide, whether in
fine or Imprisonment, shall in addition be required
to display on their cars cards stating the nature of
the ofense of which they have been convicted and
the penalty imposed. There is a great deal Of merit
in the suggestion, and the plan might ~usefully be
incorporated in traffic regulation laws. The effect
Of such a plan would be that the reckless or incom-
petent driver would carry with him always his rec
ord publicly displayed. The officer who had occa-
sion to check him up for a subsequent offense would
have there Immediately before him the mans rec
ord, and upon that he could use his discretionary
powers. to good advantage. The Post adds the
further suggestion that the man who did not care
to travel about with his bad record displayed in this
manner could keep his car at home until the term
had expired during which he was required to carry
this card. That in itself would be a very desirable
thing. If all the reckless drivers should keep their
cars off the road it would be a blessing to those who
drive carefully and circumspectly.

CONSTITUTION DAY.

Saturday, September II, is the anniversary Of
the signing Of the constitution Of the United States.
It has been observed throughout the country for
some little time as a patriotic rallying day under the
auspices Of the National Security league. The
league expects and hopes that the observance OF the
day this year will be more general than in the past,
and that proper recognition will be given to it
throughout the entire country. Proclamations have
been issued by some Of the governors Of states and
by many mayors Of cities, calling attention to the
anniversary and recommending that proper ,recog-
milton OF it be given. The object of the observance
Is stated by the league in the following language
Our purpose in celebrating and Signalling the
anniversary OF the signing 81, the constitution is to
eorisecrate anew the devotion of the American peo-
PIE to the fundamental law which created and has
maintained the greatest democracy in the history Of
the world. The spirito unrest, which had its birth
among the peoples Of Europe, who were without the
blessings ct American plenty and our republican
form Of government, is being made to appeal to the
enthusiasr1s of the inefficient and the unfortunate.
The sound common sense Of the American people,
when they have been fully awakened to the siitua-
ton, will eventually stamp out this agitation but,
fleantirDe, i behooves all good Americans to- be
yigilant and 70 promote constructive patriotism and
citizenship as opposed to the destructive forces

EIGHTEEN INCHES OF RAIN.

The federal weather observed at Austin, Texas,
reports that 1928 inches of rain fell at Austin in "a
hours. 1t is difficult to imagine such a downpour.
A rainfall Of an inch an hour is a tremendously
heavy rain. That rate of precipitation is often reach
ed, but usually only for a few minutes at a time. To
reach the rainfall recorded in Texas It would be
necessary for the rain to fall as fast as the ordinary
observer would believe it possible for rain to fall,
and to keep it up, not for a few minutes, but twice
round the clock without cessation or intermission.
There are few people who have ever witnessed a
rain like that.
The annual precipitation in the Red river val
ley, including both rain and melted snow, amounts
to something like 20 inches. Texas received almost
the equivalent Of our annual precipitation in a single
day.. IF it had been possible for all the rain to re-
main where it fell the water would have been knee
deep on every inch Of the surface in the inundated
district, on the streets, in the fields, on the roofs
of the houses-everywhere. When one %contenl-
plates that, and then attempts to conceive of all that
water following its natural course and flowing into
the low spots. he may get some faint notion OF the
torrents of water which must have poured through
every depression And when it is remembered that
the country where this happened is not even approx
imately fat, but contains alternating hills and gorg-
es, the latter receiving the. flow from territory hum
dreds Of times their area, some conception of the
stupendous character Of the flood, it's swiftness and
suddenress, may be gained.
The storm of which the enormous Texas rain
fall was a part was continental in its scope. 1t
reached from the far Canadian northwest to the
Gulf, and was marked by foods in Texas, tornadoes
in Nebraska and South Dakota, snow and frost in
Montana and %northward, and by wind, rain and
other disturbances throughout the Mississippi val
ley. The great storm wave. is on it's way east, and
we shall doubtless hear from it for several days I'M
til it disappears in the Atlantic. The storm which
caused the Colorado floods earlier in the season was
similar in scope and general character and there
have been one or two other great atmospheric move
ments this summer practically as widespread,
though less severe in character.

THE EXHIBITORS RESPONSIBILITY.

A popular movie star has been arrested charged
with the commission of a sensational murder. His
innocence or guilt remains to be established. The
facts are not known, and the general public will do
well to suspend judgment until more information is
obtained. 1t is, a noteworthy fact, however, that
moving picture exhibitors in many cities have placed
the ban on the showing of pictures featuring this ac-
tor until the case is more fully investigated. This
course indicates a growing recognition by those en-
gagged in entertaining the public of their response
bi1ty to the public. 1t is not very many years since
such an event would have been seized on generally
by professional entertainers as a means of attracting
audiences to their places of entertainment. The NOV
ing picture, OF course, would not have been the me-
dunn, but some other medium then existing would
have been used for this purpose.
a great deal is said in connection with the mat
ter of public entertainment about giving the people
what they demand, and the fact that people do 90 in
desirable in character is often advanced as an excuse
tor continuing the presentation of such exhibitions.
The excuse is not a valid one. The moving picture
producer or exhibitor, the entertainer in any field,
has q responsibility to the public which he cannot
|evade under any such flirnsy pretext. Undoubtedly
"a picture featuring Fatty Arbuekle would Just now
draw big houses. People would cram the theater
IN which it was exhibited merely for the purpose Of
gratifying a sort or morbid curiosity concerning the
sensational event, and on a theory 50 very frequent
~ advanced the exhibitor would be justified in. ex-
h1bltilg such 4 picture because the prospective at
tendance wouldb be a demonstration that this IS what
the public desires.
a crowd can always be mustered to see 81 hear
anything sensational. The reason is not that the
crowd is a wicked or immoral crowd, but it is curl
Gus and likes to see what is going on There is a
certain fnordid tendency also which attracts many
people to the gruesorne, the weird and the immoral.
and these people will swell the crowds who would

event the person whose business ii is toprovide en-
tertainment for the public. IS charged with the duty
