R. L. WOMACK LOSES
BARN AND IA COWS
Loose Animals Battered Door Down and
Saved selves-Cause Of Fire is
Not Known.

Mr.. R. L. Womack prosperous Lin
coin county farmer and dairyman, lost
his barn and IA COWS by fire yesterday
morning shortly after the midnight
hour. All of the animals that perished
ir. the flames were fine milk cows and
were tied in their stalls, while some
40 or SO loose cows and heifers in the
same barn escaped after in some way
opening the barn door, no doubt this
incident being caused by their, lurching
in their distress in an endeavor to es-
cape the heat from the fire. In ad-
dltion to the loss of the barn and cows
that perished large lot of farm inn
plements, hay and feed stuff was also
consumed. ed
Mr.. Womack is unable to account for
the cause of the blaze. When awaken
ed by the glare of the fire and the stir
of the imprisoned animals in the barn
it was too late to afford any succor to
them or to quench the flames. The
milk COWS were tied in their stalls on
account of the bad weather conditions
while a large number of prospective
dairy animals were shut up in the barn
to keep them from the weather. and it
is no doubt due to some of this num-
ber that the saving of all those run
nlng loose in the barn is due, as their
frenzy undoubtedly enabled them by
force of might to knock the barn door
open when the heat excited them and
helped to save their lives as a result.
Even of those escaping, there were half
dozen that were so badly burned that
a veterinary had to be called III an
effort to save them and alleviate their
suffering. A number had to be killed.
Mr.. Womack carried a small amount of
insurance on the property that was de-
stroyed

Even those farmers who raise sugar
beets might properly ask in what way
their interests are being protected by
an increase in the duty on Cuban
sugar. It is currently rumored that
the contract price paid the farmer for
sugar beets during the coming season
will be from $500 to $3.50 a ton.
The average pre-war price with the
tariff at 1c was $5.57, approximately
the price that will be paid farmers
during the coming season with the
tariff increased 500.
: Very few farmers grow wool, but all
farmers wear clothes. American grown
wool, the product Of the American
farm, is one Of the chief rallying cries
of the high tariff exponent.
FaIlacy of Wool "Protectlon"
Farmers are clad In mid-winter
mostly in cotton and shoddy, and yet
the wooden manufacturer today is
given As cents a pound protection on
the entire weight Of the farmers
clothing on the basis that 1t Is all wool.
He passes this additional cost on to
the farmer, but gives the wool grower
about one-third of this 45 cents in in
creased price Of wool.
A foreign piece Of mems suiting
weighing eighteen ounces to the yard
is 409o cotton, 30qo wool and 309o
wool shoddy, costing on the present
rate of exchange $109 yard. A COM
parable domestic fabric costs $1.75.
Under the Fordney Tariff the duty
would be 249o Of this $1.75, or 42c;
the weight duty at 30c pound, 33%c,
and the landing charge 9hc, making
the foreign. fabric cost here $1.95.
Under the present Emergency Tariff,
with its 45c a pound weight duty, the
fabric would cost $20S as against the
American price Of $1.76.
The wool grower would get 15c pro-
lection per pound instead Of the 45c
weight duty, the manufacturer keep
ing 30c of the weight duty, but charg.
ing the farmer who buys clothing the
full 45c.
The American farmer should be In
terested to find out why 1t Is that his
common agricultural implements man.
ufactured in the United States can be
bought for less by the European farm
er than he has to pay for them,
thanks to the protective tariff. For
instance, he should inquire why he
has to pay $8.91 dozen for a shovel
manufactured in this country while
the identical shovel exported can be
bought in Europe for $3.50.
With these facts in mind It is time

SUGAR TARIFF NO
AID TO FARMERS
Consumers Taxed for Benefit oil
! Factories, Not Beet Growers.
WOOL BENEFITS QUESTIONED
Fair Tariff League Head Says Beets
Are Not Important American
Crop.
BY Il. z. MILES.

Chairman Of the Fair Tariff League.
Sugar in the beet, the product of
the farm, is given a protection Of so
ad<alorem In the Fordney Tariff Bill
now before Congress.
Refined sugar, the product of the
beet sugar factory, is protected with
a specific rate equivalent to from 500
to 1000 ad valorem on the basis Of
present prices.
For example, the Michigan sugar
factory receives prohibitive protec-
tion against the importation of the
product Of the Canadian sugar factory,
but the Michigan sugar beet farmer
receives practically no protection
against the Canadian sugar beet.
In viey Of this farmers are asking
If the, 603o increase in the tariff on
Cuban raw sugar contained In the.
Fordney Tariff Bill is an effort to pro-
tect the farmer or an effort to pay
further bonus to an already sufficient
ly protected beet sugar industry.
All farmers use sugar. They usually
buy 1t in 100 pound sacks. Every time
a farmer buys sack Of sugar he pays
$500 as the result Of the tariff on
sugar. Half of this goes to the Gov
ernment and half Of 1t to the beet
sugar manufacturer.
This Is true because we consume In
this country twice as much sugar as
we make, but the price Of sugar to the
farmer is the Cuban price plus the
tariff. But the farmer pays this price
on both the domestic sugar and the
foreign sugar. Therefore the farmer
pays half of this tax to the Govern
ment and half to the manufacturer Of
beet sugar in this country.
Sugar 5eets a Minor Product
The farmer might feel that he was
getting some benefit out Of this If the
raising of sugar beets was actually an
important American agricultural pur-
suit. This, however, is not the case.
The crop acreage Of sugar beets for
1920 was 692, ,455. The crop acreage
for peanuts was 1,256,000,. almost -dou-
Bile the acreage devoted to the cultiva-
ton Of sugar beets.
The following table indicates the
importance of the acreage devoted to
sugar beets as compared with certain
oAhnr nrona.

TRY To-
!. TALK To EARTH,
SAYS THURSTON
Famous Magician lnyents
Machine That Registers
Curious Rappings.
BY. Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, Aug. rs. The
planets are inhabited by spiritual or
mental beings much like ourselves.
In the opinion of Howard Thurston,
famous magician, and they are to-
day trying to get in touch with him
through mysterious messages he has
been receiving on an electrical
apparatus Of his own invention.
? The machine has been receiving
curious rappings. coming like dots
and dashes OF a telegraph code.
Visions of silent, wistful faces,
which obey his command to move to
right or left, but fade when he seeks
to decipher the message they
attempt to convey, accompany the
signals, Thurston says. and convince
him that either departed. spirits or
beings living on other planets pro-
duce the puzzling messages.
Recently / have arrived at the
conclusion that many of the planets,
II not all. are inhabited by beings,
spiritual or psychal. who are SINH
lar to us in mentality at least, and
that in the course OF time they will
get into intelligent contact with US.
II think they have been trying to
get In touch with us a long, long
time. and II is barely possible that
their signals, which have been re-
ceived by the highly sensitive ones
among us, have been mistaken for
messages from our departed rela-
tives and friends" he said.
II have not been converted to
the same sort of spiritualism pro.
fessed by Doyle. Lodge and Hys.op,
but I believe that any highly sensi
tive persons with an ability to con
centrate can. at times, receive the So
called spiritualistic communications.
feel sure there is a direct connec.
ton with occult force and radio
power"
Thurston, who has been able to
duplicate the feats OF many me-
diums, used to scoff at thin, but his
experiences have convinced him
that unearthly forces are able to
approach our world in some manner
we have not yet learned to inter-
pret, he added.

Chicago Coroner Going Into
Reasons Undare Chose

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Pygmalion
fell madly in love with the statue he
had wrought. Charicles. according
to Burton's Anatomy Of Melan-
choly," passionately kissed the pic
ture of Veuns as it hung in her
temple. Charmidos was struck down
by lightning because of his insane
love for the marble conception OF
the huntress, Diana. Heino pined
over a white statue OF a woman
which lay half buried in a neglected
court.
And at an inquest today Coroner
Peter M. Hoffman found himself
confronted with a modern version
of the same strange love which has
run like a magic thread through the
pages of the history of art. 1t is
the case Of Walter Undara, a poor
and obscure sculptor, whose passion
for the Winged Victory, the Nike of
Samathrace, yesterday caused him
to- kill himself at the base of the
statue of the unresponsive goddess

Possibly the man did pine for the
love of the statue. If such is the
case, think he was a dementia

the suicides are. We shall see"
At the inquest scheduled for this
afternoon at 1T North Michigan

is shown, will be brought out. pos
