in studying these great problems. 1t
is not a question of production alone;
it is a question of the farmer being
able to sell what he produces at a
price which will justify him in con-
tinuing to produce. We are the best
producers in the world, but our sales
system is very bad, indeed. We must
study everything which influences
both production and price. We must
look into the matter of competition
from farmers of foreign lands, where
the agriculture is still being exploited
and where the standards of living are
very much below the standards which
we demand for our people. We must
look into world conditions, both of
supply and demand, and produce
more intelligently and adjust our var
ious crops to the probable needs. We
must look into the administration oe
credit machinery. Those who
control the finances of the country
and who have in their power to in
1uence, either directly or Indirectly,
the extension of credit can exercise
a large amount of control over the
prices of farm products. The same
thing is true of the administration of
our transportation systems. Through
the simple device of regulating the
flow of cars the prices of farm pro-
ducts can be sent up or down at the
will of those who exercise such con-
troll. We had some costly experiences
along this line during the war.
"In short, the people of the Ma
ton must come to understand that
our prosperity as a Nation depends
upon a prosperous and wholesome ag-
riculture.
II can not speak in detail of the
many lines of work in the Depart
ment of Agriculture. We have here
a magnificent body of men and a
splendid organization. We are going
to try to use the scientific and prac-
teal knowledge of these men
wherever it can best be used to pro-
mote the agriculture of the Nation"

ponds upon prices which will justify
the increased cost.
"The farmer is the n man engag-
ed in a big business who has had no
voice in fixing the price of the things
he produces. He has been compelled
to take whatever prices he could get
His cost of production has not at any
time been considered in determin-
ing this price. In times of small
crops prices have sometimes been
high. In times of large crops prices
frequently have been ruinously low.
Very large crops, as a rule, give the
farmer fewer dollars than small
crops. Farming seems to be one bust
ness in which large production is al
ways penalized.
mo doubt when we get through
this period of world readjustment
and get squared away on an orderly
basis there will be a gradual increase
in the value of farm land, provided
our national policy is fair to agricul-
ture, but this increase will be slower
than in times past. The speculative
value has been taken out of the land.
The farmer can no longer depend up
on the increase in the value of his
farm to make good losses suffered
through his farming operations year
by year. Farmers crops must sell

Why Colds Are Dangerous

1t is the serious disease that colds
lead to that makes them dangerous.
They prepare the system for the re-
ception and development of the
germs of influenza, pneumonia, tu-
b%erculosis, dyphtheria, scarlet fever,
w%hooping cough and measles. You
are more likely to contract these d.
seases when you have a cold. For
that reason you should get rid of
every cold as quickly as possible.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will
help you. 1t is widely known as a
sure for bad colds.

Rev. ]. H. Schooley, former pastor
of Freedom Circuit, but now of Colds
boro, Md, preached at New Oakland
on Sunday last and was warmly greet
cd by his former congregation. The
solos rendered by Mr.. Hammerslaa, OF
Baltimore, and Rev r. Carl Maxwell,
pastor of the church, were appreciated
by all who heard them. At the next
appointment several young men from
other churches will sing several Sc
lections.
Robert Kelly, youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. E. r. Kelly, is able to be
out again after being housed for some
time past with a severe cold border

The unusual mild weather is help
ing farmers to catch up with the
work delayed last fall. Those who did
not pIow in the fall are finishing that
line of work now.
Despite the low price of eggs those
engaged in the industry are planning
more buildings this spring. The de-
mand for young chicks is greater
than ever, and cannot be supplied

County? We notice a whole column
in The Sun on Tuesday last, devoted to
this vital subject. Now, Mr.. Editor we
do not intend to throw all the blame
on the County Commissioners. The
bond issue would have been solution
of the vexing problem and its defeat
was largely due to the fact that a
great many were so obsessed with the
one idea that the defeat of the Demo-
Gratis must be accomplished, and
therefore neglected the bond issue
which should have concerned them
more. That the Commissioners are in
a dilemma there is now doubt Should
they raise the taxes they will raise
something else That being the case
they will have to borrow the money
as the expenses must be met, cspe-
cially the teachers must be paid al
though other work which needs at
tention wait. And what matters it if
we add 100000 or so to our neat
little debt.

 NEW YORK CHURCH
Rv Associated Press

New York, October 2.-Services in the Greek Orthodox church at 155 Cedar street this noon were broken up by free-for- all fight among the congregation, which resulted in the death of Nicholas varzakakos, 41s a wealthy Greek fig merchant, and a trustee of the organization.
 Georgia Varzakakos. the dead mans 1Syear-old son. told the police that the sexton of the church held his fathers hands while the priest Rev. kerrido Vafradakis, hit him over the head with candlestick Dr. Benjamin N. Vance, assistant medical examiner, however, expressed the belief that he may have <-died from heart attack An autopsy will be performed tomorrow.
 Members of the congregation told the police that the priest, who had been at odds with some of the trus- tees of the church, including Varza- kakos, was making the usual Sunday announcement when the trouble oc- cured. The priest declared that the church would -be closed tomorrow, owing to debt, when Varzakakos started up the aisle toward the al- tar, shouting.
 The congregation, numbering about 250. immediately divided into two factions and Bibles, Hymn books and candlesticks were sent flying across the. seats. Police reserves quelled the disturbance

BLACK BEAUTY
 AT THE ALCAZAR
Anna SeWelPs Wonderful Story of Horses Makes
 Thrilling PhotopIay

Black Beauty" a Vitagraph all- star special production. will be shown at the Alcazar theatre today for the first time and the balance of the week.
 Extraordinary difficulties were faced and overcome in visualizng Black. Beauty" but those which at first were looked as the greatest turned out to be the least. The first question raised was, Gan horses be trained to perform exactly the action of Anna Sewelrs book, so that the story in pictures can be accurately and faithfully told?"
 After long continued and patient experiments, it was found that for the most part no training would be necessary, as all the action of horses in the wonderful book is natural to them at certain times under certain circumstances. The fact that the ac tion is natural, spontaneous, is an i'm portant part in the greatness of Anna Sewell'S immortal work. The filming of this action, therefore, be- came largely matter of time and patience, and complete success was attained at last.
 The result is Anna Sewelrs story. as she wrote it, in pictures, and in addition the strong human interest story of Jessie Gordon, Harry Blome- field and the other persons in the book.
 The pictured production of Black Beauty" ends with a thrilling horse race. along rough roads. over rock walls and hedges, through fields and meadows. to avert a shocking trag- edy which threatens Jessie. Harry Blomefield rides Black Beauty, com pietely recovered from the effects of his hard life as a cab horse.
