WHITE TELLS WHY

Sixth District Representative
Supports Agriculture.

ton of the agricultural appropriation
bill in the house afforded opportunity
to Representative Hays Is. White of
the Sixth Kansas district to make one
of the most effective short speeches on
the changed agricultural conditions
that has been heard in the congress
this session.
A number of his colleagu includ-
ing the Republican leader. Mr.. Mon
dell, and practically all of his fellow
members from Kansas, congratulated
him on the speech. White was sup
porting the appropriations for agricul-
tural purposes against the attacks of
Luce of Massachusetts, who had ex-
pressed the view that the large amount

agriculture was scarcely warranted in
view of the very slight increase in
acre yield.
White ccntended that the extension
Of agricultural operations into the arid
sections of the country was chiefly re-
sponsible for the fact that the increase
in acreage production was very slight.
81 call attention of this committee
to the fact that I saw a statement this
morning from the Daily Drovers' Tele-
gram, of Kansas City, that a sheep
raiser and feeder of the state of Titan
marketed in Kansas City 400 head OF
lambs that cost him on the range
$3.50 at $3.50. I want further to call
attention. Mr.. Chairman and gentle
men of the committee, to the fact that
a shipper from Sterling. Tex, mar
keted 1900 Texas lambs in Kansas

and said in a newspaper interview in
substance that the sheepman is again
on his feet and prosperous, and his
herds are reorganized on a paying
basis.
what is the situation today? In all
my experience of foruy-six years in
Kansas I do not recall when there has
been so complete a reversal OF con-
ditions in the brief period of less than
one year. The advance in the price of
all classes of cattle exceeds 50 per 100
in ninety days. If. as is estimated.
there are now 20, 900, 600 cattle in the
United States. averaging 700 pounds,
it shows an increase in value on the
item of cattle of 100000, or. in
round numbers, $1,000, 100000.
And the same is true of swine. eX-
cept in a greater degree. A net adj
vance of $3.50 has been scored in the
past ninety days and sold in Kansas
City this week at $11.15 per 100.
Seven million bushels of wheat
were received in Kansas City from my
own state of Kansas for the month of
February, at $40 to $3.50 per bushel
cash for standard wheat. More than
$10,OOO,00O went to the farmers ana
country elevators of my state in the
single month of February for wheat
alone. The effect of the price improve
ment is being reflected in almost every
line of business thruout the country"

WHEAT CROP GOOD
Greater Prospects for Kansas
"FIour Crop" in States History.
Former Agriculture Board Head
Says Not 8 Per Cent Hurt.

Larned, Kan, March 20.-The kan

ing season with greater prospects for
a large production than at any time in
the history of the state, E. E. Frizell.
former president of the state board of
agriculture and a prominent wheat
grower, said here today. Not more
than per cent Of the wheat acreage

Farmers are going ahead with a full
seasons planting this spring, Frizell
believes. He reports that there is
little tendency among farmers to plan
to diminish the regular spring activi-
ties in the face of the adverse prices
of the past season. The farmers have
been encouraged by the better prices
on farm products of recent months,
he reports.
''On the other hand, there must be a
reduction of prices of farm imple-
menus anu ARTICLES purchased Dy the
producer during the coming season."
Frizen stated. EITHER prices must
come down, the prices of the farmers
products go up, or the farmer will be
forced to stop producing. Last year
the farmer sold his products at the
same price level as in 1910, while
the prices he paid for farm nipple
ments were from 200 to 400 per cent
higher.
Farm wages also must show a re-
duction during the coming harvest.
The reduction probably will be 25 per
cent over last season, and may be as
much as 35 per cent

DEFINING crude petroleum to produce
X a multiplicity OF useful products is a
= - highly specialized branch of industry.
The refining of gasoline and the manufac-
ture of lubricating oils each require special
treatment. Motor lubricants are made from
specially selected crude and the portions of
such crude best adapted for high quality
motor oils are extracted during the first
operations of refining.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) is
proud of its achievements; proud of its en-
vlable record as a manufacturer of gasoline,
and equally proud of its record as manu-
facturer of lubricants for all types and classes
OF machinery.
During 1921 nearly Is million gallons of
Polarine, the perfect motor oil, were man
ufactured and sold.
This enormous gallonage went to the con-
sumner with the unqualified guarantee of the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana) that no
better lubricant for an internal combustion
engine could be made.
Lubricating oil is the most vital factor in
conserving your car investment In making
definite recommendations for lubricating
your car this Company realizes the impor-
lance to you, and to itself, of knowing
exactly what each machine requires.
Company Qndiana) is emphasized when
you consider that in the territory served there
are more than million automotive vehicles
under registration. These machines repre-
sent a total investment of more than 2
billion dollars.
Every drop of motor oil manufactured by the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana) is made to
meet definite requirements worked out in the
Company's laboratories by skilled chemists,
refners and lubricating engineers who have
given careful study to the technical prob
lens and their practical application under
working conditions, which the oil must meet.
1t is because they have given such painstak-
ing attention to every detail of manufac-
ture and application that the Company has
been able to produce Polarine, the perfect
motor oil.
1t is this painstaking attention to every de-
tail, in every branch of its business, that has
made this Company leader in the industry.
1t is by such sustained, conscientious,
enthusiastic effort, to keep faith with its
patrons, that this Company has won the
confidence, esteem and respect of the public
1t serves.

His wives and sons went on a STRIKE
To try to gain their end,
He crowed upon the G. 0. P.
To come and be his friend.
But waiting still with head erect
One day his soul grew hot,
And gathering up his noble clan
He broke forth from the lot.
Last Tuesday morn at dawn of day
He riz up in his might,
And when the sun had settled down
He'd won noble fight.
So now he roosts the topmost branch
OF persimmorf tree,
Awaiting for the Democrats
Who'll bring back normally.
He's fine bird, you all will say,
Two years when times were blue
He roasted in a sassafras
But now he crows for you.
He'll whet his spurs and file his bill
And two years more will pass,
He'll hop the G. 0. P. garden fence
And scratch up all their sass.
Today he stands for righteousness
For Democrats true blue,
You men who fought a winning fight
Hear his C0CK-A-D0ODLE-DO!

ably dies, for during his treatment by
the so-called cancer doctor the cancer
has become inoperable.
Accredited newspapers, periodicals
and publications the country over are
refusing to accept advertisements for
such cancer doctors and for the So
called cancer cures. There are still a
few who persist in carrying such ad-
vertisements in their columns, there
by doing great harm to the public at
large. Many cults have recently
sprung up which recognize no such
disease as cancer or its allied depar-
lures from normal and their follow
ers, believing blindly in their teach
ings, resort to medical and surgical
aid only when the disease is beyond
any help.
The following points should be es-
pecially remembered: Cancer is not
a blood disease, but always starts as
local affair, hence it can always be
cured by removal if discovered and
treated early enough; cancer, in the
beginning, may cause no pain or
other symptoms of i'll health; cancer
is probably not hereditary; cancer is
not contagious; no up-to-date doctor
will treat condition which might
mean cancer without a thorough ex-
animation; the cancer patient must
learn to seek treatment as promptly
as patient with appendicitis.
1t is well to draw attention to a
disease or condition which causes
nearly as much misery to the patient
and suffering to the family as cancer.
This disease, or condition, is known
as Carcinophobia, or fear of cancer.
After all, the coward dies a thousand
deaths, and the brave man but one,
and he who passes through life look
ing for trouble may find it in the end |;
but he will have long, wretched
esarch for what he does not wish to
discover. You have done your part
when you insist on careful exami-
nation if you fear or suspect cancer.
You are doing altogether too much if
you insist on an examination every
day, every two or three days, or ev-
cry two or three weeks; and you have
done too much if you haSe tried to be
your own physician.

asking and answering yet another
what Americanism is not. American
ism is not matter of birth and an
cetry, for the American is self-made,
not born. Americanism, being ever in
the making, is of present content and
not of ancient context; is not a BIRTH
right privilege but lifelong respon-
sibility.
america is not a place, not re-
gion, not locality; America is an
atmosphere, an ideal, vision as yet
unfulfilled.
"No man is an American who does
not place America first, before him
self. He must serve America; Amer
lea must not serve him. He is
no American who cherishes prejudic-
es, whether these be social, or racial,
or religious. All this is only another
way of saying that an American is a
conscious, vigilant, fraternal, I'M
wearied creator of America who
scorns the notion that America bears
charmed life, and that democracy,
even though it be of the American
brand, guarantees the automatic So
luton of its own problems. -.
Not America for Americans, but
Americans for America, and America
for the world"
AS an ideal held out to the immi-
grants from land of persecution to
land of freedom and opportunity,
this is an inspiring ideal. 1t might
with great profit be held out to
great many Americans who have not
yet acquired an adequate conception
of just what America and American
ism mean.

CHAIN LETTERS

Every few years this country is
cursed with an intellectual pygmy
whose contribution to progress and
civilization is chain letter. The most
recent example Of this idiotic form of
human endeavor is letter express
ing the vital wish that the recipient
may have. happy and prosperous
year but threatening him with violent
misfortune if he does not, within
weeks time, send copies of the letter
to nine friends. In other words, the
letter only wants him to be happy and
prosperous provided he is willing to
make himself a nuisance to nine other
people.
In the past few months millions of
these letters have wasted tons Of
note paper, caused the expenditure Of
thousands Of dollars on postage
stamps, occupied the more or less val
liable time of vast number of citi-
zens who should have been busy on
more important matters, and brought
untold irritation into countless homes.
The threat of bad luck appears to be
powerful factor in tn perpetuation
of this infantile proceeding, even
though the threat obviously originates
with a person whose mental age is
less than seven years.
The originator of chain letter is
not interested, apparently, in the fact
that if his letter goes through ten
steps without the chain being broken
IF each of the nine persons to whom
he sends it sends it in turn to nine
more, and so on for ten sendings.-- it
will be sent to nearly three and one
half billion people He doesn't care
that nearly seventy millions of dol
lars would have to be spent on post
age to carry the pitiful product Of his
wizened intellect. 1t boots nothing to
him that several forests would have
to be cut down in order to furnish the
paper on which to write the letters.
He is obviously not quite right in his
head, and the place for him is either
the cradle or the psychopathic ward.
Speaking for the timid and thought
less folk who abet the chain letter
originator in his monstrous stupidity
by sending copies of the letter to nine
friends, their common sense appears
to be urgently in need of an injection
of either monkey or goat gland.
Concerning the chain letters them
selves, there is one fitting destination
Tor them, no matter how pious their |
purpose or how black the curses
which they call down on the heads of |
those that break the chain. That |
destination is the wastebasket-un |
one prefers the kitchen stove.
