Nearly everybody In Southwest Mis-
souri, either knows or has heard Of
the Rev. Parker Moon, who for a full
half century has devoted his life and
talents to Sunday school and Organi-
zation work for the Society of Friends
or Quakers.
Uncle Parker" as he Is more famil-
iarly known, came from fine old rug
ged Quaker stock, and there is not a
better known or more highly respect
ed citizen in that part of the state.
In referring TO his remarkable res
toration to health by Tanlac, he said {:
About five years ago / suffered

trouble was nervous Indigestion. My

prepared by the United States Depart

The farmers problems appear, all
Of sudden, to have become the lead
ing national problem. Congress Is
talking of little else than legislation
aimed to help the agricultural inter-
ests. The bankers are busy explain
ing why they can't lend the farmer
the cash he needs. The plight of the
farmer is the chief topic Of discussion
in railroad circles and among business
men at all the big markets. Farmers
themselves are organizing everywhere
to force the prices of their products
up to a point where selling will not
mean a loss 10 them.
Meanwhile what the individual
farmer needs is not talk. but cash.
Certain things he must buy right
along for himself and his family. He
can't wait for the national debate TO
run down.
In this situation farmers who are
hard pressed for cash may be over
looking the fact that all around them
money is growing on the trees" and
the crop is just waiting to be picked.
This is almost literally true. In 9th
er words the farmer can harvest an
other crop-his timber. All over the
country thousands of farmers are
turning to this immediate source of

FARM SELECTION PERPLExING
Study of Several Intricate Points
Called For-knowledge of Basic
Principles Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
In choosing a farm one has the OPP
lions Of buying with the intention OF
operating the place as his entire bust
ness, buying a small farm and renting
enough additional land TO meet his
needs, or renting farm either on the
share or cash basis. Ones choice in
the matter is usually determined by
the funds available.
If one has only small amount of
capital and wishes to undertake farm
ing as a business from which TO de-
rive his entire income, he should, in
nearly all cases, begin as a renter.
However, If he wishes to buy farm
on which to live deriving a part of his
income from other sources, then, pos
sibly. purchasing is desirable even If
capital is limited.
Whatever. course is followed, 1t is
highly desirable that one thoroughly
understand the basic principles gov
erning the farm business before de-
Gliding some of the finer points. A dis
regard Of these basic principles is re-
spOnsible for large proportion OF
farm failures.
A man may uncOnsciOusly work all
his life against some economic barrier
when success would have been com
paratively easy if he had selected q
farm where the economic principle
would aid him instead of working
against him.

Money in Producing Fuel.
With one of the practical, low-priced
power log saws now on the market,
the farmer can make his farm pay
substantial profits by producing fuel
"a commodity that has held up well
in price and for which there is an al
most unlimited demand Then, too,
there is always a steady market for
ties, fence posts and timbers that
can easily and quickly be cut with
these lightweight. portable machines.
In this way the farmer, with little
work or expenses, can realize good
profits and still hang on to his grain
and live stock If he wants TO, until
prices get better.

seizing upon n machine that actually
makes money for him-as well as saw

doing or threatening to do that may
lead to stoppage of work, and, par
tlcularly, the nature of the exchange
OF proposals that occurred between
the railway executives and the execu-
tlves of the labor organizations at
their conference in Chicago, Oct. IA,
1921, and what disputes are the &C.
casion of the threatened interruption.
The board viii further inquire as to
what, if any, wage reduction, have
been made or are in contemplation by
carriers without first securing the ap-
prevail of this board in a legal way"
Explain Stand.
On the eve of the meeting the board
announced that the brotherhoods COM
plain largely over rules and working
conditions, must be settled before the
additional 10 percent wage cut pro-
posed by the railroads could be con-
sidered
Union leaders have asserted that
this further reduction, bulked largely
in their greviences.
At the same time committee of
the Association of Railway Executives
reiterated its intention of applying for
further reductions in wages, in order
that they might further reduce rates.
Ready to Leave.
Several of the railroad executives
here for the meeting have booked res
ervatlons out of Chicago for tonight.
Many, 1t is understood hold the opin-
ion that the controversy leading up to
the strike call, is a dispute between
the unions and the board over the II
per cent wage cut of July 1, with which
the executives are not directly con-
cerned.
1t was also rumored that the broth

ment Is reached by Thursday night,

uation next Sunday morning.

RAIL BOARD
Continued from Page One.)

Mr.. Barton made it plain that the
inquiry was being conducted entirely
on the initiative of the board, neither
the railroads nor the employees about
to strike being concerned in bringing
the case before the federal railroad
tribunal
'The inquiry" the chairman's state
ment said, lis based on two provisions
of the transportation act. One, Sec
ton 313 of the act, which provides
when the board has reason to believe
that any decision by the board has
been violated by any carrier or en-
ploye or subordinate official or organi-
cation thereof, it may on its motion,
after due notice and hearing to all
persons directly interested in such
violation. determine whether in its
opinion such violation has occurred.
and make public its decision in such
manner as 1t may determine.
THE other is the provision of Sec
ton 307, the emergency provision,
which authorizes the board to act
when dispute is likely to substan-
TALLY interrupt commerce.
Limits of Inquiry.
THE board wishes all parties to
thoroughly understand the limits of
this inquiry and conform thereto. The
inquiry will be conducted wholly un-
der the directions of the board. The
merits of the wage reduction decision
in opposition to which the employees
are threatening to strike, or any other
decision of the hoa rd are not at this
time in question and no decision in re-
gard thereto will be in order. The
question IS, simply, has there been a
violation or IS one threatened?
ION the second subject of inquiry
as to what other causes exist that are
causing or are liable to cause an in
terruption of traffic, the inquiry will
be on what either side has done or is
