Advice for the Farmer.

If "in many counsels lies wisdom" be true,
the gathering of agricultural experts and authori-
ties at Lincoln is a gushing stream Of purest
wisdom. Its counsels are almost as many and
as varied as the number of its delegates, but
through all the seeming confusion shines one
ray Of light. Success on the farm can only be
obtained by work; there is no other way. One
of the speakers struck spark when he pointed
out that prosperity had driven more men from
the farm than adversely. Examination Of the
records will probably verify this statement He
also touched responding note when he said
that prosperity had led to speculation in land
and had SO enhanced values that the problem Of
making the soil earn on the increased figures
aas become serious. Yet he felt that the farm
still offers attractions to the "rcnter" with
limited means. The entire debate at the Tuesday
ssssion appears to have turned on the question
If profits. without regard to the question Of pro-
duction. Something Of encouragement is found
in this attitude, for it shows no tendency in the
direction Of restricted output. Practical farmers
are fully aware that their problem is that OF any
other producers, maintenance Of low unit cost
of production and marketing with the least ex-
cense. The iteths finally control the net income,
and as they are adjusted so will farming be-nade
more or less profitable. Consequently, counsel
along these lines is we'll taken.

High School Of Commerce.

The right note Is sounded by Principal Porter
OF the High School Of Commerce, announcing
the reopening Of the school on double shift
schedule next Monday. He proposes that in
struetors and pupils come. full ot"pep" and de-
termination to make the year the busiest and
best in the records of the school. Along this
line success will come. in spite of the postpone
ment of some plans and the interruption Of the
regular flow Of life at the institution. Principal
Porter's spirit ought to find an echo in the
Board of Education, to the end that no delay
OF any sort be brooked in the big job of pre-
pairing for the new building, so long ago
authorized. Those who 60 into the conglomera-
ton Of makeshift buildings over on Leavenworth
street each day do SO supported by the hope that
il will not be long before they have adequate
accommodations in modern hope. This hope
should not be long deferred.

Preachers and the Movies.


According to report from Washington, the
board of morals of the Methodist church has
made vigorous protest against the lack of rever-
cnce shown On the stage and in the movies for
the ministers Too often the man Of the cloth
is exhibited as comedy" character, is pof-
trayed as effeminate, eccentric, or in some other
fashion to invite ridicule and 1evity. Something
of truth exists as foundation for the complaint,
but we would like to suggest to the Methodists
that some reason for the practice also exists.
Many plays show the preacher as strong,
virile man, Of warm human sympathy and love-
able in all his ways This picture is as true a. that
which shows the effen,inate, Intellectual perpetual
''wet blanket" for both types are found in the
world. 1t is not only possible but easy to be q
minister and man at the same time; to sincerely
worship God and hold the warm regard and high
respect Of all men, and the great majority o!
ministers Of the gospel, without reference to
creed or sect, do manage to carry on their work
without sacrificing their manhood. Unfortunately
some do not conceive their call in this light and
manage in one or another of many ways to
forfeit the esteem that should be theirs because
of their calling. These may be and no doubt
are very sincere, but the world that prefers to
sing along its way is not going to accept them
as its snentors.

Tariff to Have Consideration

When the senate finance committee decided
to hold hearings on the grain tariff bill recently
passed by the house. hopes of southern demo-
Gratis were dashed One of the singular features
of the Underwood measure is that it particularly
takes care of cotton and other products of the
south, at the expense of the north and west. It
was this sectional aspect of the law that gained
it the greatest condemnation when it was passed,
and which has subjected it to the most biting
criticism since. Fear is expressed that the pend
ing bill will be taken by Argentina and other
gran-producing countries as an embargo and
will so lead to retaliatory action.
Democrats cling with persistency to the free
trade ideas traditional with the party, the open
ing of the richest home market in all the world
to outside producers. Republicans are equally
committed to the doctrine of protection. Under
its application the great industries Of the United
States were developed to point where it has
been actually demonstrated that our nanufac-
turers can underseli their competitors in any
market, and still have the home trade for their
own.
Whatever expectations the free traders had
built on the personal attitude Of Senator Penrose
.hey arefor the moment at least postponed. Mr..
Penrose voted against the motion Of Senator
Simmons in the committee to postpone action
indefinitely, and thus commits himself at least
10 the extent of giving the measure its full
chance for passage. Democrats now plan to de-
feat it by lbuster, process that will only post
pone the end, for it is generally accepted that
the Underwood tariff will come in for an early
and general overhauling when the next congress
convenes.

Prompt Response to the People.

George Washington, in praising the BIZ
cameral system of government, explained that
the United States senate was like the saucer
into which the people of his day poured their
tea to allow il to cool, and that while the lower
house of congress might act hurriedly or heated
ly, the upper house would serve as check. This
was particularly true when senators were chosen
by state legislatures, and in less degree even to-
day when direct election OF senator's has been
established.
Such checks and balances were part Of the
theory on which the republic was founded. and
it was natural that In this vast experiment in
representative government complete trust should
not be put ii the judgment Of the people. That
the governmental machinery should BE slow in
response to popular demands was undoubtedly
regarded as measure Of safety.
With the continued education of the people
along political lines, however. some very con-
servative statesmen are inclined to believe that
greater promptitude in responding to the public
will is advisable. Thus We find bill before the
senate of the United States. sponsored by
Senator Ashurst, proposing a constitutional
amendment TO ihaugurate the president in Janu-
ary instead of March, and to let the new congress

the old one with It's usually large number OF men
repudiated At the November elections.
Foreign governments know no such delays as
this whereby new congress cannot begin legis-
lating for IS months after its election, unless the
executive calls special session after his naugu-
ration, which itself dates four months after the
citizens have spoken. The ancient delays of COM
munication and hardships of travel which might
have warranted period Of waiting have now
been eliminated, and there is no reason why such
an amendment to our fundamental law should
not be submitted to the states for thorough con-
sideration.

FATHER AND SON WEEK.

Thirty Omaha churches are uniting in cele-
bration that ought to be kept up perpetuallS 1t
Is called Father and Son" week, and will be
devoted to bringing together the boys and their
daddies in series OF meetings intended to In
crease the socizl communications between the
youngsters and their parents and between the
groups. 1t is within possibilities that both will
find out some things they did not know Fathers
will learn that their boys have aspirations. ideals,
hopes and vision; the boys will learn that dad
was once boy, and cut quite as many didoes
as do the lads of the present day. and each will
learn that the other is human.
Perhaps the biggest thing that can come out
of it will be the setting up of better relation
between some boy and his father. Here If any
where is a place where the bond should rest on
mutual confidence and respect. Father and son
should be more-than that; they should be pals
in the truest sense. Too often cares OF business,
exaetions of society or some selfish occupation
throttle the communication between parents and
children. The fine sympathy that should mark
the relation is lost in devotion to lesser things
The father should keep always in mind that the
biggest job he has IN hand Is being father
Nothing will repay him better than to deserve
and enjoy the friendlystrust Of his boy, to have
a part in his plans, to realize that in him is the
man Of the future and that on him depends the
world Of tomorrow. To achieve this It is only
necessary to carry out the instincts Of the heart
Real fellowship between father and son will
lead to interesting discoveries as each finds out
the real nature of the other. More than just this
understanding is involved. The father who really
knows and enjoys his son has no worry as to
his career. The boy who can go to his father
with any of his troubles or perplexities seldom
gets into very deep trouble Mutual regard leads
to equal esteem. and the foundation of a real
home for all the family, Father and Son" week

Protest Against MISREPRESENTATION.

Kearney, Neb., Dec. 29.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: Some time ago
the Bee printed an article regard
ing Chicago replacing her chief Of
police and the results obtained. The
Kearney Daily Hub in an editorial
gave quite an article on Omaha fol-
lowing in the footsteps of Chicago,
making 1t appear that Omaha was
even in worse need Of cleaning
than Chicago.
The article Would have been al
right If 1t had only included
Kearney in its advice. AS a former
/ Omahan I resented that and as a
travelling man I know what ! am
i talking about when I say that for a
town of her size, Kearney ranks as

years in Omaha and my Is in Chi
cago have l ever seen gambling SO
we'll protected as In this city.
The tendency of towns of this size
to make butt for all evil of the
best town in this state and one of
the best In the country Is not only
unfair but damaging to Omaha.
AS the symbol OF what Omaha is
itself, 1t seems to me that The Bee
should correct these small city
editorials that are damaging to her
and to her sons and daughters away
from home. and help these towns
to look for their own dark spots.

Clean Up the Ciairvoyants.

The city license Inspector is on the right
track in his move against the "seers" Omaha
was ridded of these pests some years ago, as
result of crusade supported by The Bee. With
the revival of spiritualism in fhe wake of the
war prophets and prophetesses have swarmed
back, to practice on the gullble. They are not
q legitimate, part OF the belief that the spirits
of the dead do hold communication with those
still here, but they seize on that belief to sup
port nefarious trade. Fortune telling is a sur
vival of q by-sone day, when the supernatural
played q much larger part in the affairs Of
humanity. 1t has no place in the life of the pres
ent. Devout believers in spiritualism need not
be interfered with in the practice of their faith;
that would be unjust, but the authorities GER
tainly can exclude the charlatans who thrive be-
cause no arm Of the law has been raised against
them. Clean up the clairvoyants, and give the
real spiritualists chance.

YITAMINEs ON THE FARM.

| N0Ceutly TOQS ITCHl SHlCaku
+! through the dairy district of north
ern Illinois on morning local train.
At nearly every stop q few boxes
/ OF butterine and nut margarine OF
| one kind or another were unloaded
The conductor said: These dairy
farmers send all their milk into
town and then they buy butterine
and nut buffers to eat" 1t may
have been that the butterine and nut
buffers were going to the townpeople,
,, for the conductor had no way of
knowing that the products he un-
loaded actually went to farmers.
I have been told by dairy farmers
that when they had contracted to de-
liver all their milk to a creamery
for butter and milk and sometimes
had trouble buying it in the town
where they delivered the milk.
1t begins to look as though the
dairy farmer was not so hard on his
own children as 1t seemed he was a
few years ago. 1t has not been many
years since Funck discovered that
there was such a substance as q
vitamine. A little later McCollum
proved that certain vitamines were
necessary for growth. A child or a
rat might be fed all the food 1t
needed, craved. or had appetite for.
but 1t would not grow or develop
properly unless 1t had sufiiciency Of
growth vitamines.
The growth vitamine which Nc
Collum discovered was known as fat
soluble A growth substance. At
first it was thought that this sub

very few other foods. Lately it
has been proved that fat soluble A
growth substance Is found In car
rots and long list 4of other foods
Then came the discovery that there
was another growth substance. 1t
Is known as water soluble B. and It
Is found in even a longer list Of
foods.
In the Journal of Biological Chem
istry for July, 1920, Amy L. Daniels
and r. LoughMn write that they
found that animals fed on lard and
their young In normal manner and
degree. The only source of growth
substance in the foods fed, accord
ing to Daniels and Loughlin. was the
lard or the cottokseed oil. These
Adlo 1HlCl Cutidt1y GOhbdlA AdiA
amount Of fat soluble A vitamine.
The amount per pound is not equal
however, to the amount per pound
In butter. 1t was necessary. for in
stance, for Daniels and Loughlin to
feed more fats than in standard feed
ing experiments.
Butter and milk are still. and
always will be. the standard sources
Of growth substance by which all
others are measured-the nutrition
yardstick. as-it were. The higher
grades Of butterine and nut mar
garipes contain considerable butter
mixed in. In addition, all such pro-
ducts are customarily churned In
milk.
Therefore they have some growth
principles obtained from milk and
butter If the experiments of Daniels
and Louglin stand, they get still fur
ther quantities Of these principles
from other fats contained in them.
Viewed from the standpoint sof
nourishment. the fats contained are
all right. They are more apt than
butter to be low in bacteria apd free
from tubercle bacilli. All in all. the
people in-4Aat dairy district are not
neglecting their children, causing
them to grow up runted.
