HOW TO KEEP THE YOUNG s5
PEOPLE ON THE FARM rs
IMPORTANT PRORI,EN

Editor Sheaf 81
j wish was capable Of doing Justice
to the proposition as outlined by Mr..
Horgan. know Mr.. Horgan well and
know. he is speaking from experience
and is sincere in his desire to assist the
great cause Of agriculture which is the
fOundat ton of any nation. Statistics
indicate that the average age of men
on farms is so years. This is serious.
We are drifting. There is only one way
to Keep boys and girls on the farm and
that is to make agriculture more per-
manent and more profitable and the
farm home more desirable place in
which to live. This is a problem that.
is going to require the serious thought
and quick action on the part of every
man, woman and all young people in
every community. We must have a
well equipped community hall in every
community. We must give our young
people the same advantages they can
have elsewhere One Of the grand ideas
Of the Farm Bureau is to build up and
develop each community. Another is
the educati onal feature, meeting at
least once month and discussing pro-
blems affecting each community, the
county, the state, and the nation We
become better acquainted with each
other and find the other fellow is not
! so bad after all. Our young people
have been educated away from the
farm. The farms must spare enough
| boys to become Presidents, Governors
I; and to head our great institutions.
The farmer must have more recrea-
| ton. Farming must not be made a
drudgery. 1t will be more so i'll the
future than in the past if we do not
| assert our rights. We can only do
what we want done by Organized effort
We have builded up the great cities at
| the expense Of our small towns and
rural communities. We must be more
unselfish. 4.
4 What will it profit us if we gain the
whole world and lose our boys and
girls. Let us think about our commun-
ity problems and we will soon be able
to act intelligently. Let's take Satur-
day afternoon off and remember the
Sabbath day and keep it holy. This is
! Americanism. !, ...re.

L,therans Appeal For Disarmament,

That Christian citizens must be dis
contented with the practices Of great
nations Of the present day, whereby the
greatest expenditures of government
are made for the single item of war ex-
pense is part of the declaration made
by the Executive Board Of the United
Lutheran church in connection with an
appeal to the President and to Congress
for the consideration Of a reduction OF
ornaments. !: 4
The declaration further asserts that
the waging of a just war for the ends
of righteousness belongs to govern
ments', but also states that Christian
citizens are convinced that nations are
being guided today in part by motives
which are false to the best interests OF
national and international life, because
of the constant preparation for war ana
the increase of ornaments. s
In behalf of it's almost 100000 mem
bership the Executive Board OF the
Tinted Lutheran church declares that
the nations should undertake as sa-
cred duty the consideration of the re-
duction of armaments", and that the
members Of this church should as cltl-
zens of the United States. OF Canada.
and of other nations and do1ninions
consider their personal responsibility in
this matter.
The President and Congress of the
United States are requested to initiate
'.as soon as may possibly be done an in!
ternational conference for the consider
ations of the motives which lead to the
present exaggerated conditions and OF
the possibilities for an actual reduction
of ornaments"
Composing the Board are eight min
listers, three lawyers, one banker, one
exporter, and two merchants.

The Pittsburgh Plus Plan.

The news dispatches of the next few
months are likely to refer from time to
time to litigation in connection with
the Pittsburgh plus freight rate. This
is something that affects every man,
woman, and child in Warren, as well as
every other locality in the northwest.
The following summary from the Fargo
Forum shows just what this plan is
and what it is doing to us. 1t is time
that it was abolished in~the interest OF
common justice: ~.
+ -''Here is What Pittsburgh plus"
means in nutshell: The principal steel
mills of the country are located in the
Pittsburgh district, as everyone knows,
Pittsburgh is made. the basic point in
fixing steel prices. and all steel prices
are made on the basis of the selling
price at Pittsburgh plus, the freight rate
to the point of mallufa cture.. For eX-
ample, the price charged at the steel
mills in Duluth are the prices at Pitts
burgh plus the freight rate from Pitts
burgh to Duluth. The Pittsburgh price,
being $50 a ton for example, and the
freight rate to Duluth $500, the
Duluth mill would charge 5000 for it's
product at Duluth, even though steel
can be manufactured in the new Duluth
mills even more cheaply%than it can in
most Of the Pittsburgh' mills. Duluth
is within 100 miles of the ore supply,
and it has cheap water transportation
for its coal and limestone, making it
ing cente1's for5the steel industry Yet
this natural advantage is arbitrarily
denied Duluth, and "a handicap of 1920
-. F/,1, 0cnp1 nv
that Pittsburgh. always has been the
center Of the industry and if the mills
there was not subsidized by this
freight rate many of them would have
to go out of business, the industry
" would become decentralized, and the
investment at Pittsburgh would be
largely lost.
'But the effect is that the Fargo con.
sumner pays an arbitrary tax Of $500
on all steel products. Normally, North
Dakota should get all Of its steel pro:
ducts from Duluth But whether we
buy from Duluth or Pittsburgh, we pay
this $500 freight charge from Pitts
burgh to Duluth, even though the stee
was manufactured at Duluth and never
saw Pittsburgh. s...
.'The Federal Trade commission filed
complaint against the steel corpora
tion to make it change this situation
and abolish the Pittsburgh plus plan
Judge Gary, chairman of the board Od
directors Of the steel corporation, has
himself urged that this case be brought
in order to have full hearing and al
authoritative ruling. 55S
1T is just such arbitrary freight
practices as this that have built up ou1
great industrial centers at the cost o.
the small cities. Many huge manu-
featuring center owes its existence ani
its overcrOWded condition to just sucl
favorable rates from the railroads
The old tendency was to concentrate
i manufacturing in a few great cities
The smaller cities are unable to com
pete on an equal pasis. But this cen
trailing of Industry has its disadyan
tages aSswen as its advantages AMI
the SINAI Ier city as a manufacturing cen
ter Is beginning to come into its own

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Wrliam
Howard Taft. it is expected win be
Chief Justice OF the United States TO
succeed Chief Justice White. OF
course there is nothing said about
this al the White House. but it is
known that President Harding has
desired that the former Chief Execu-
tive be given a seat on the Supreme
bench should a vacancy occur.
Whether Mr. TAFT would accept a
seat on the worlds greatest judicial
tribunal is not known, but is gem
orally assumed that he would do so.
Chief Justice White and Mr.. Taft
have long been intimate friends.
The former President always had a
keen admiration for Justice White.
Acting on the conviction that he was
one OF the greatest jurists the country
had produced. Mr. Taft elevated his
friend to the position OF Chief JUS
tce. He ignored the fact that JUS
tice White was a Democrat and took
little notice OF the clamor for the
appointment OF Justice Hughes TO

CHURCH TOURGE
DISARMAMENT
Special Sermons to be
Heard in City Pulpits on
Sunday, June 5
GENERAL BLISS
SUGGESTS IDEA

In keeping with the rest Of the
country wilmington will observe
sunday. June s, as Disarmament
Day Special sermons will be
preached and resolutions adopted
calling on Congress to aid world
peace
Though the day is under the au-
spices OF the Church League. it is
the idea OF General Tasker II. Bliss
former chief Of staff OF the army,
who is one OF the leaders in the
move for disarmament. A call was
scpl by the league TO the leaders Of
every religious denomination In the
country. and ali have signihed their
willingness to participate. The To-
cal ministers who have already an
nonnced they will preach on the
subject Of disarming on June 8 are;
Tine Rev. Edmund r. stevens. Cal
vary Episcopal Church. Third and
washington streets; the Rev. Charles
II Bohner, Hanover Presbyterian
Church. and the Rev. H. c. Jones'
1912 Howland street.
In his letter 70 the league. General
Bliss stresses that point that, while
he favors disarmament, he would
consider it only through a confer
cnce Of the nations. The general
saws he has no scheme OF disarma-
ment 70 propose. but hopes for an
international conference. In urging
tho church day and the sending Of
resolutions from congregations 60
their congressman, General Bliss
points TO the pressure brought TO
bear on Congress by the farmers OF
the country. when they wanted re-
lief legislation. and declares they
would never have been given such
relief had they just talked among
themselves
In his appeal for the church day
and concerted action, General Bliss
says:
III the clergymen Of the United
States want to secure a limitation OF
armamcnts they can do it now with
out any further waste OF time. II
on an agreement upon date. they
simultaneously preach one sermon
on this subject. in every church OF
every creed throughout the United
States. and conclude their services
hy having their congregation adopt
a resolution addressed TO their par
ticular Congressman urging upon
him the necessity Of having a busi-
ness conference OF five nations upon
this subject. the thing will be done.
II the churches cannot aggree upon
that 1t will not be done nor will il
be done until the Good God puts
into them the proper spirit Of theii
religion. The responsibility is en-
tirely upon the protesting Christian
OF the United States. II anothe
war like the last one should come
they win be responsible for ever
drop OF blood that will be shed an
Tor every dollar wastefully ex
pended.
Among the organizations VIII
have compiled with the appeal o
the Church Peace League are: tn,
Federation Council OF the Churche.
Of Christ in America; Central Con-
ference Of American Rabbis; the
United Synagogue Of America. and
the National Catholic Welfare
Council.

Meanwhile Jones and his lone COM
panion did what they could with the

with little avail. They were forced
to abandon their efforts by the fierce
ness OF the blaze which drove them
away. When the Fame chemical en-
gine and the Brandywine company
arrived there was little the hremen

mass OF tangled fiercely burning
debris. There was about twenty
thousands pounds OF smokeless pow
der stored in the various buildings
all OF which We're destroyed. The
value OF the entire plant accordine
to Ernest DUPONT, the president OF
thc u. S. Flashless Powder Company
is in the neighborhood Of 100000.
This is the second time that a fire
has occurred at the same plant the
one previously being about two
months ago when one OF the build
ings was destroyed and considerable
difficulty was experienced by the
fremen in getting water. The fire
fighters were compelled TO dam a
small stream in order to get water
. fight the bla3e but this method
was slow and avaiied but littl'. A
shift In the direction OF the wind
at this previous blaze saved the mag
azine house where most OF the pow
der was stored
The explosion and FIRE early this
morning was heard and seen for
many miles. Scores OF persons
awakened by the crash telephoned
the police station asking informa-
tion and many calls wer' received
from as far as Philadelphia. In this
city persons said they distinctly felt
the rumble OF the initial explosion.
Much OF the powder being manu-
factured at the Flashless Companv's
