JudgeCary Says Future Is In Crops
Refuses to Discuss Coal and Railroad Strike While President Has Problems in Hand Has Optimistic Out look.

(Copyright, 1922, by The In-
 ternational News Service.)
 New York, July 24-Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel Cor poration, in an interview grant ed today declined to discusA effect of the twin rail and coal strikes on business generally. "While- these subjects are in the hands of the President, or his advisers" but declared he was altogether hopeful of the future."
 ''It would be indecorous for me to discuss either the railroad or the coal strike said Judge Gary, ''or their present or future direct or general effect upon the business of the coun- try while those subjects are in the hands of the President. of the. Unit ed States or his advisers for consid- eration but I will say this:
 gether hopeful of the future. Incl dentally optimism will take a man far: moral: Be optimistic not pessi- mistic.
 Now. crops, which come from the land are the basis of everything, all m ost, which enters into our lives, if one will only stop to think. about it. This applies to steel as well to everything else.
 'As I see it. the one great economic fact today relates to the crop possi- bilities and this is not confined to the United States and Russia.
 After everything is considered, 1t must be admitted that the worlds economic moral and political happi- ness depends on the opportunity of the people to secure food, clothing and shelter To this end every country must depend on its crop conditions from year to year.
 Russia, of late years. has been unfortunate in this and other respects. and hence has suffered because of crop failures, partial and in some places total. This year promises to be an exception.
 'If the yield shall fulfill the prom ise it will afford comfort, health and happiness to millions who have been starving, and this in return, should aid materially in the return to con-

Train Delays Grow,

Train Delays Grow. New York, July 24.-There has hours of the number of delayed trains entering New York city, due to the shopmen's strike. Officials of some lines admitted that schedules were dragging. One St. Louis train was 10 hours late.
 The strikers said that the new week begins with the best prospect they have yet had for a victory over the lines. They claimed that freight traf- fife is seriously crippled and that pas senger traffic is becoming more hand that the effects of the strike are now extending away from the railways and that persons in all branches of indus try are now feeling the effects of the walkout. They declared that the in dustrial boom which was reported on the way will beind ef1nitely sidetracked by the strike.
 Strikers See Hope. Strike leaders are disposed to be- Heve that the more depressed bus mess becomes as a result of the walk out the better will be their chances to win.
 On the other hand, officials of rail- way lines claimed that the effects of the strike were not so bad as the strike leaders claimed. They admit ted that freight and passenger traffic are crippled but claimed they were nearly normal"

 The gravest kind of transportation emergency now exists which will throttle the new business boom un- less the railway shopmen's strike is settled at once," said David Willia ms, head of the Metropolitan district strike committee today.

what sections of the country are to get coal and how much--in short, the temporary merger of all the various railroads of the country into one great system, with unified direction.
 Attorney-General Daugherty has already, 1t is understood, informed President Harding that the authority for such a move exists in the trans portation act and further legislation Is not necessary.
 Under the rough outline of the plan as drawn up, the present man. agement of the various roads would continue to manage their properties, but they would take their orders from the Interstate Commerce Commits sion.
 That the gravity of such a step IS fully realied by President Harding and his advisers is indicated by the slow approach that is being made to the adoption of such a policy. Even If the government were in the saddle of railroad control for only a week it would create confusion when the roads were turned back from which 1t would require months ana maybe years to recover. Equipment of in- dfvidual roads would be scattered to the four corners of the United States for one thing, and the confusion would be comparable only to that ex- isting when the roads were turned back to private control after the

Washington, July 24-Bitu- mfnous coal mine operators representing the present pro- ducing districts in six states gathered here today at the call of Sec'y. Hoover who sought their cooperation with the government and the railroads in a coal distribution scheme designed to protect the car- rierS, public utilities and other necessary industries against shortage and prevent profiteer- ing during the strike emer- gency.
 As threshed out in detail at a series Of conferences of the federal agencies involved yesterday, the plan contem- plates the creation of a central corn-, n11ttee, with representatives it js understood, from the departments of commerce, justice, interior and the Interstate Commerce Commission, op- erating through local committees in the producing districts of Virginia West Virgiania, Tennessee, Kentucky.

This, however, is not claimed in any off, ciaI report. The Express correspond ent says it is believed the pressure being exerted by the national troops upon both Hanks of the Republicans will compel them to make a stand, perhaps their last, in these mountains.

In his paper, yesterday, Dick ex- presses the opinion that it is wrong to kill the umpire actually, but right to do 1t emotionally. If it is done emotionalIy, it will sometimes be done actually.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-07-24

Those views in favor of a rational attitude toward the umpire were dictated by the news, that in a Mis- souri community, a young man emo tionaIIy inclined to kill the umpire, did actually kill him. with baseball bat, and is now locked up charged with murder, and sure of a long term in prison.

As man thinks so is he. The sentiment is at the basis of all infli- bition of error. Is baseball gaining, or failing a little? Do women attend the game, as freely as they might? In this connection note the improve ment in the boxing contest. where those who had bet their money on one man were formerly free to make victory difficult for the othsr man.

At baseball games there may be shou+inz applause, stimulation of players. There should not be abuse, insulting language, threat against the umpire. nor things of this sort. They hurt the game.

Prepare your land in October by
blowing it up with dynamite.
Lay it off in rows IL feet apart and
plant your cotton seed in December.
When your cotton comes uo thin IL
TO one stalk in a hill 23 feet apart
Spray each stalk twice u day with
Hoy:'s German cologne.
ting when it is two weeks old, this
netting 20 be stretched over poultry
wire.
Spread targlefoot between all :of
your cotton rows, and replace it every
day.
Burn off all the nearby wodos. and
cut down dead trees and burn them :.
Dust the following mixture on your
cotton twice a day, sugar, salts, calo-
mel, cream of wheat, and the white
of an egg.
Have two hired hands for every
acre, in cultivation. Furnish with
BARRIERS tweezers to be used in pinch
ing the heads Of any boil weevils
which show up.
Mortgage your farm and buy nj
trate of soda and spread plentifully
around the roots of the cotton.
If any of the bolls should set pune
tured have the place vulcanized at
once. Any godo automobile tire man
can do thsi for you. .
Begin picking your cotton in Febru-
ary and try to have it all ginncd and
sold by March Is, and this will en-
able you to go to work and grow
corn, peas. potatoes and hogs for your
own home consumption. This kind
of consumption do6s not need the ser
vices of a doctor.
Pay your preacher. Trade for cash
Settle al lyour old debts and live
