His breast may hold heart Of gold
But when bystanders view him

They slip the kibosh to him.

And still be noble. kind and good,

Folks may not slur his character
Nor doubt his virtues inner.

To come around TO dinner!

REAL AMERICAN TYPE FORMING

SCIENTISTS tell us that genuine American type
is forming that is easily distinguished in adults
belonging to anything from third to eighth genera
tons OF native born whites. The average height OF
this type is 5 feet inches for males and feet 4
inches for women This it is pointed out is well
above the average OF other types OF whites in Ameri
ca and in Europe.
Families that came TO America eight more
generations back were vigorous, hardy and daring.
They were the most select type, chosen by natural
law, to overcome the hardships Of frontier life.
The life that they led and that their descendants
took up as a rule, conducive to proper physical
and mental development.
There are more than mere physical characteristics
to be found in these old families OF the eighth and
older generations of American born. The blood OF
the pilgrim fathers is still strong The inherent ideals
of these men who fought the wilderness and conquer
ed simply because they strong prevail in hours
OF stress for the commonwealth.
There is a certain amount OF class corruption as
a result OF immigration Ii the bars are put up soon
enough that so-called American type, these offprngs
OF the most hardy forbearers in history, will insure
the perpetmty OF what we now understand TO b'
American ideals and institutions.

rehabilitation of the prices of
the farmers products today is
the only thing that can save the
farmers from a disaster, in my
opinion: Someone will say that
this is government interference
in business. What ought to be
done-they tell us-is to let the
law of supply and demand rule.
Every one knows that during
the past Is years the exceptions
to this law of supply and demand
have been SO many that the law
itself is practically gone.
''In this country the large
units, such as steel, rubber,
farm machinery, flour, ETC., all
aim to only manufacture enough
supply to meet the demand.
That keeps the price up on their
products. Only the farmer has
not been able to organize his
production so that the demand
will equal the supply. What is
the result? He has a surplus
beyond the requirements Of
America, which has to be sold in
a foreign market.

ger Of the government grain
corporation, recently gave fig

that legislation extending credits lowering

but that agriculture must receive price for

In expressing his views the matter, Mr..
Sinclair writes the Leader as follows:
"The letter sent out to the bankers in the
Northwest because there is no use in talking
dversifcaton, crop rotation and the elimination of
the barberry bush and such things while the agri-
cultural situation is critical. Financial sinking
of agriculture is not coming-it is here It has

that there is remedy in sight except improvement
i'll income and that this is possible only by govern
ment activity in price stabilization.
In fact every interested in the farmers
condition and depending upon him for a market
must, if he investigates, feel the same way AL
legged remedies proposed to counter price stabili-
zation do not promise any hope for the present
operating farmers. If large number of farmers
are driven from the soil, from their own soil at
least, can have crop limitation and higher prices.
But this is not remedy. What we want is some
thing to enable the farmers now farming to carry
on pay their debts, feed and clothe their children.

plan for reviving the government grain corporation
from the jackson county Jail, every succeeding day
