But the worst of it is, that even
these small duties on his products will
not help the farmer a single penny.
We have the word of no less friend
Of the farmer" than Senator Capper
himself that "many of our agricul-
tural products are on an export basis,
and the tariff will not help the farm
ers of these products except under
special condition and on special
grades" To put it bluntly, the tariff
on wheat will not bring the farmer a
red cent because wheat is on an ex-
port basis.
This is still another angle to the
case. We have but to remember the
Republican emergency tariff that
absurd Republican panacea which was
trumpeted as a cure for all the ill OF
agriculture. A duty of 25 cents was
put on wheat. Did it work? 1t did
not. American wheat stuck to its u.s.
ual price at the great primary mark
cts at Chicago and Minneapolis. In
July last, Canadian wheat sold at the
Minneapolis market for $2.10 while
the United States wheat sold at the
same market at the same time for
less than $1.65. Wheat exports from
Canada were not materially reduced
for there was not a day in July when
Canadian grain sold on the Winnipeg
market at as high price as on the
Minneapolis market. AS result

the Republican tariff--the farmer paid

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP

The situation confronting this Re-
publican administration in both the
executive and the vexative branches
of the government is a verifcation of
the old adage, "the head that wears a
crown lies uneasy"
1t is demonstration of how soft
are millions of Americans who were
tricked in 1920 by spurious pledges
and fake stuff.
After seven years of enforced alb
sence from the feshpots of federal Of
fee the Republicans were willing to
do anything, to make any charge
against the Democrats or any prom
Use in their own behalf, in order to
again get control of the government;
and they got in!
The country had enjoyed eight
years of. plenty and prosperity, such
as had never before been experienced
over similar period in American his
tory!
But the masses were not contented.
Having much, they wanted more. In
other words, they turned loose the
substances for the shadow. They were
led by adroit Republican politicians
to believe that prosperity was largely
fictitious. They were persuaded that
they were in "frying PAM, where
upon they deliberately jumped into
the fire.
They see now what listening to
| specious arguments and vituperative
accusations did for them; for they
now know the difference between
promise and performance!
The moral of it is that it is better
to look before you leap.
A year and half ago the Republi.
cans were unwilling to stop at an,
promise or pledge that held out lure
to voters.
/ 1hey gained control of the govern
ment by pulling down the pillars, up
on which rested the widest nationa
prosperity known to the country; ant
they have~been in a swelter evel
since.
The people are now awakening to :
realization of the fact that their cred
ulity has been imposed upon.

IN MEMORIAM

In loving remembrance of Charley
Jinkerson, who departed this life June
II, 1921.
The 18th of June is here,
The saddest of all the year;
One long year ago today
My dear brother passed away.
Over in the churchyard,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Sleeps the one we loved SO dearly
In the cold and silent grave.
Often l wish that could hear
Those footsteps coming near,
But / know, dear Charley,
That can never be this side of eternity
Now you are with loved ones on high
We will be coming bye and bye;
Farewell, dear Charley, it won't be
long
Until meet you with the happy
throng.
Sadly missed by father. mother
brother and sisters. Written by his
sister, Mrs. Arthur Bates.

got no more for the wheat he pro-
duced.
We might as well look this thing in
the face. The tariff is made for the
rich man and not for the farmer; it
is bonus on wealth and not a pre-
MUM on hard labor. Missouri farm

will profit from SELLING out" Of the

EARLY ADVANCES
SENT DOWN BY
NEW LIQUIDATION
BY Associated Press

New York, September 25.--Early
advances in the cotton market were
followed by declines as result of
near month liquidation and scatter cd

terror receipts December broke from
21.55c to 21.12c and closed at 21.1Sc,
with the general market closing steady

Spouse to relatively firm cables, re-
ports of steadier tone in foreign
exchange rates, and more cheerful
view of the. near eastern situation.
There was . considerable southern
selling, but it was absorbed on slight
reactions and the market worked
about Is to Is points net higher dur-
ing the middle of the morning, with
october selling at 21.27c and January
at 21.35c. There was no particular
broadening of demand on this rally,
which seemed a disappointment to
some of the earlier buyers, however,
and the market became rather I'M

notices would be issued against part

that some cotton Was 70 De Drought

before the end of the month. The
talk of such shipments was not gen
orally credited but the fact that cot

idly, was emphasized by the interior
movement, receipts being reported Of
62,95S bales at the leading points,
compared with 3S,43O last week and
32,SSS last year. The continuance OF
good picking weather in the south
may also have been a factor on the

.DOWNTURNSIN THE
VALUE OF WHEAT
ON FOREIGN NEWS.

Chicago, September 25--Material
downturns In the value of wheat re-
suited today from APPARENT likelihood
of peaceful settlement with Tur-
key. The market closed unsettled
rs and 2Ac net lower with Deem
Der s1.O4 to s1.O4M and May s1.OS
to $1.OS1s
Corn finished q cents off to 1s@A
cents gain; oats at u decline to a
shade advance and provisions vary
ing from unchanged figures to a rise
of 80 cents.
AS a rule wheat traders started
with distinctly bearish views about
the probable outcome of the Darda-
nelles crisis, and held to that outlook
throughout the day. although con-
siderable buying at times took place
owing to reports indicating 1t was
unsafe to assume that reason for
anxiety as to further warHke devel-
opments had been banished. Hedg-
ing sales from the northwest and
slowness of export demand, together
with weakness of Winnipeg prices,
counted as an additional weight on
the market here, the movement of
the crop remaining heavy and De-
cember delivery at Winnipeg having
gone to 10 cents under Chicago, the
widest difference so far since the
Turkish situation became a market
factor. Decrease of 100000 bushels
in the amount of wheat on ocean
passage leaving en- route about
enough only for two weeks actual
needs tended somewhat to rally the
market during the late dealings. The
falling off in the aggregate of wheat
afloat was partly offset by an in
crease of the United States visible
supply total, but the increase was
less than had been looked for by
many traders.
Corn and oats showed stubborn
resistance to selling pressure al
though averaging lower with wheat.
Some European buying both of corn
and oats was noted.
Provisions had an upward slant In
response to higher quotations on
hogs, and because of better shipping
call for lard and meats.

PRICES HEADED
UPWARD AGAIN;
TRADING NARROW

New York, September 25.-The up
ward movement in prices was re-
sumed in today's stock market, but
trnding was relatively light and fluc-
tuations generally were within mar
row limits.
A heavy accumulation of weekend
buying orders impaired a strong tone
to opening quotations, but when these
were disposed of the market lapsed
into dullness. Short pressure against
some of the dividend paying rails
and speculative industrial favorites
later caused some irregularity, but
the general list held up well under
the selling pressure.
Standard Oil of New Jersey crossed
1879 to a new peak price for the year
and Standard Oil OF California also
moved to new high ground. Gulf
States Steel was pushed up to a new
1922 high at "a on a gain of nearly
points but closed at 91A The
small floating supply of this stock
makes 1t susceptible to pool opera
lions.
Speculative selling OF some of the
cheaper railroad shares apparently
was in anticipation of some poor
earnings reports for August coming
out in the next few days. Rock Is
land showed net loss of / point on
turnover In excess OF 10000 shares,
Baltimore and Ohio and st. Louis
Southwestern also were sold rather
freely, but the offerings were well
absorbed.
Merchandising shares showed sub
stantial advances. Woolworth al-
vanced 6h points while KresEe
touched 1870, a new high for the year,
but fell back later to IT. May De-
partment Stores also gained. St.
Joseph Lead advanced 1 u. Chemical
shares also advanced, Dawson rising
III, American Agricultural Chemical
l and Allied Chemical q.
Baldwin and Studebaker in the late
afternoon trading each declined a
point or more. Mexican Petroleum
closed at net gain of nearly a point
on reports showing August earnings
at the rate of SIS share.
Sales totaled 705,3o0 shares.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
A--.sA4.I nrAEa

New Orleans, September 25.--Following
early gains the cotton market today was
depressed, war news being regarded as
unfavorable for a while. much uncer-
talnty being felt over October l notices
which are due tomorrow, while in the late
trading a great deal of hedge selling was
in evidence. At the lowest OF the day
prices were % to IS points under the
close Of yesterday; last prices were at net
losses of 20 to "a points. October traded
down to 2O.s4c and closed at the lowest.
During the course of the first call there
was a considerable display of steadiness
and prices were sent up for gains of IL
to II points, carrying October up to
2OsOc. The demand was based on good
cables and a favorable opinion OF war
news. Selling increased almost immedt-
ately much liquidation coming from the
long side because OF uncertainty over Oc-
tober notices. although bullish traders
pointed out that the total certificated
stock here amounted to only S,420 bales.
There were rumors however, that large
spot interests were bringing cotton here
for delivery. The early gains were wiped
out on these rumors. Selling increased on
reports over private wires that the Turks
were moving to within striking distance
of the Dardanelles, but at net declines
about dollar bale on the most active
months the market was steadter for a
while on further rumors that the Turks
had accepted British proposals.
In the late trading hedge selling dom
mated, but 1t created little excitement
ana caused little comment because most
traders and brokers seemed to think such
offerings natural in view OF the extreme
ly heavy ginning reported nearly every
where in the cotton region.
