CHARGES THREE CABINET MEMBERS AIDING CHEMICAL TRUST
[RepublIcan A. P. Leased wIreI

WASHINGTON. Aug. 7@The charges that ''the dye monopoly headed by the Chemical Foundation company has sought to influence three members of President Hardings cabinet in an effort to perpetuate tits present exclusive power in this country" is made by Representative letter to Chairman Penrose of the senate committed, considering the tariff bill.
 The Wisconsin member, who lead the successful fight in the house against the dye embargo in the Ford ney bill, referred specifically to the letters written to Senator Penrose by Secretaries Weeks and Denby. Mir. Frear also declared that Attorney Generol Daugherty had failed to acknowledge or act on his letter of July IS, asking that legal proceed ings be instituted to set aside the Chemical Foundation company.
 No invisible government" said MT. Frear, "has ever shown more brazen
 effrontery than this dye monopoly.
 Not one line of evidence in all the hearings, I am informed, suggests that this government depended upon
 or received aid from any dye estab- | Iishments in the country during the recent war, and the argument that we
 should preserve this half billion dol lar dye monopoly with its excessive prices and enormous power because of approaching war and through need
 os private protection is both prepos- terous and ridiculous.
 "Secretaries Weeks and Denby are reported by the press to have written your committee simultaneously that the dye embargo should be continued 1 for that reason. If so. they certainly had little information on which to base such statements and caution is | thrown to tf.e winds when dye inter- ests bring these two letters to your committee on the same day to influ- ence committee action
 | q have no fear of their influence | either in your committee or on the body you represent, but l do express concern over any power that can SC | cure such letters from such high sources and, more important, that ap- parently has endeavored to smoother | efforts made to have the government bring legal proceedings in order tc set aside the Chemical Foundation | company.
 Failure for practically three weeks
 to receive any reply from the attor- ney general is an unusual oversight by department that represents con | gross as well as the administration and it is impossible to believe fall ure to acknowledge receipts of an or ficial courteous letter was due to ar I oversight"

COST OF PRODUCTION VARIES
Specialists Point Out FaI|acy Of Con.
sidering Average as Basis
for Figuring.

The fact that there is a wide varis.
ton on individual farms in the cost
Of producing any product has been
subStantated by recent cost surveys
conducted by specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
because OF this variation, the special.
Its point out, it is fallacy to consider
the average as representing the cost
OF production. For example, the aver.
age cost of wheat per busheI on the
4Sl farms studied by the specialists
last year was SOL, but more than
oo per cent Of the farmers concerned
produced wheat at Il cost above this
figure, ranging up to an extreme Of
SS'2O per bushel. Similarly the aver.
age cost of cotton for the S42 farms
studied was approximately % cents
per pound, yet almost 60 per cent Of
inc growers had costs above this aver.
age.
Inc department now gives the re.
suits OF cost studies in the form Of
frequency tables in order to show the
proportion of product that is pro-
duced at or below a given cost and
to call attention to the importance Of
a bulk-line cost rather than average
cost in relation to price.

ways; first by companion cropping,
and, second, by following one CROP

snap beans can frequently be grown
between the rows Of tomatoes. Radish
seeds may often be planted alongside
a row of peas, the radishes being
pulled and out of the way before the
peas begin to climb the trelIis or
brush provided for their support or
to spread over the ground. A little
later in the season sweet corn or LATE

Cured in 1924, during Lafayette's last
visit to this country. Forty years had
passed since his promise to Washing.
ton to return as his guest. He was
now nearly 70 years old, but his heart
beat as warmly for his adopted coun-
try as in those earlier days when he
had fought for its liberties.
A brilliant reception was under way,
A slowly moving line Of stately guests
passed by Lafayette, who greeted each
with courtly grace. Presently there ap.
preached an old soldier. clad in a worn
Continental uniform. In his hand was
an ancient musket, and across his
shoulder was thrown a small blanket
Or rather a piece of a blanket.

military salute. As Lafayette made
the return signal, tears started to
his eyes. The tattered uniform tho

the dear past.
