Rejuvenation.

Rejuvenation.
Father Time has doffed his whiskers
And he wears the latest styles.
He has joined the jaunty friskers
And in youthful spirit smiles.
For the scientists are saying
And we hope they tell the truth
That mankind will soon be stray1ng
Through an everlasting youth.
Illness need not cause a panic.
By the years do not be scared.
By some erudite mechanic
All your works can be repaired.
But perhaps when here you've waited
For q thousand years or SO.
And no longer are elated
BY events that come and go.
Once again you'll turn to science
With a hope that's all serene,
For some mystical appliance
That will give a change Of scene.

elapsed, and large part of this S25O,O0O
has been expended, yet the movement
has withstood their attacks and the organ
lied Grain trade has been unable to pick
anv serious flaws in the fundamental
features of the Committees plan. One
farm paper editor has raised the interesting
question that if it is worth S250,0OO to
the organized grain trade to kill the U. 5.
Grain Growers, how much is that institu-
ton worth to the farmers?
But the L. s Grain Growers Associa-
ton is here to stay. President c. H.
Gustafson advises that there are now more
than $4,000 farmer members, and over
1000 cooperative elevators belonging
and 800 new members joining daily.
This means that more than 00,000,000
bushels of marketable grain are already
under contract, and that at the present
rate of progress the L. s. Grain Growers
would have 10000 members by January
/, 1922, representing at least 800, 600 900
bushels of grain. When we stop to con-
slider that in she neighborhood of but
SIS, 100000 bushels of grain is all that is
handled in one year on the Chicago mar
ket, one can understand that the u. s.
Grain Growers is soon to become a real
factor in the grain markets of the world.
The organization has had the backing
and paternal guidance of the great Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation with paid
up membership of more than a million
farmers. President Howard is on record
as declaring that the American Farm
Bureau Federation stands pledged to the
farmers of America to etfectualize CO.
operative marketing, and that the organi-
cation intends to see the L. S. Grain
Growers, Inc, through to complete sue
cess.
Farmers everywhere are backing the
plan. All the farmer asks, and he is justi-
fed in his attitude, is privilege of taking
his products to the ultimate buyer, and
let the normal law of supply and demand
govern the purchase price. He is willing
to let consumption demands set the price
his products should bring, and share the
profits aCcruing from economical and
efficient buying with the ultimate con-
sumner.

Before the
Kansas State Farm Bureau
Feb. 8, 1922,
at Manhattan, Kansas

We are beginning a new year The
last was a trying one for all. For the
farmer it was a perplexing year as well.
He has seen the prices of his products
approach the pre-war level, and, in some
important instances, fall below it. At the
same time he has paid substantially double
the freight rates which he paid before the
war and from 40 to lis per cent more Tor
practically everything he has had to buy
The much-talked- deAation hit him first
and hardest of ALL He has felt therefore
that he has a genuine grievance. lie
believes that the prices of his products, as
compared with the prices of other COM
modities before the war, were fixed by the
operation of natural economic laws eX-
tending over a long series of years.
Is it any wonder, then, when he sees
that balance rudely shattered, that ne
should think something is wrong with the
distribution and marketing of his prod
ucts? In his efforts to improve these
conditions he doubtless has made many
mistakes. That he is sound in his In
stinctive feeling, however, that the road
of progress lies along the line OF closer
cooperation among farmers, there can be
no doubt

H. c. Mckenzie OF New York is the
tax expert of tie American Farm Bureau
Federation. His research on taxation
has resulted in the Farm Bureau tax
policy of no sales tax, keep the excess
profits tax, and amend the Constitution
so as to assess ta2:-free securities.
Mr.. McKcnzies work has resulted in
the defeat of the sales tax program whlc'
would have levied a tax on everything a
farmer buys and enabled the rich folk to
escape paying the income tax on then
big profits
Mr.. Mckenzie is a member of the Exec
utive Committee of the American tarr'
Bureau Federation from New York and
president OF the Delaware County Farm
Bureau. He was born On farm eighteen
miles from Harrisburgh, Pa. He ATTENDED

the Duncannon High School and tie
Chamhersburg Academy. At one tine
he worked for the Pennsylvania Steel
Company and had charge of the payrols
for 1000 men He has been interested
in tie lumber business in North Carolina
and in New York; He ran general grain
farm in Pennsylvania. raised corn and
cotton in North Carolina, and ran hun
dred-cow dairy in New York. He has
been interested in studying taxation all
his life. and when the Farm Bureau found
him was we'll equipped to apply farmer

MANY Co-ops Formed.

Many cooperative societies for the
sale of farm products have been and are
being formed. Some of them will doubt
less fail from lack of efficient management.
Others, too will fail if they attempt arbi-
trarily to fix the price of the product.
For in that case more men will rush into
the production of the particular article
and the supply will exceed the worlds
need.
Those organizations now being formed
under the direction of the American Farm
Bureau Federation are seeking to avoid
this peril They are based upon sound
economic principles. They recognize the
fact that over long period of years the
law of supply and demand fixes the price
of every commodity. They know, too,
that when the price of wheat on Wednes-
day of one week is ten cents more bushel
than it was on the Tuesday of the week
before, this law of supply and demand is
not freely operating on both days. And
that difference may mean the difference
between a profit or loss upon a whole
wears work of the farmer. By orderly,

Airplanes May Circle Globe.

Tentative plans for an attempted
fight of army airplanes around the
world have been under consideration
for some time by air officials, it was
announced recently at Washington,
but the project has not as yet passed
the preliminary stage. Valuable data
on available routes in both directions
have been obtained, however, and ul-
timately it is hoped to send con-
siderable aerial squadron on the voy-
age. The project will not be laid BE-
fore Secretary Weeks for approval, it
was said, until it takes much more
definite form.
Two Of the routes considered are
that from the Atlantic coast via Ice
land and Ireland and that from the
Pacific via Alaska, the Aleutian Is
lands, Siberia and home via ireland
and Iceland. Air service officials said
the route Offering the most favorable
conditions as to prevailing winds
would be selected should the fight be
ordered, and it would then become
necessary to obtain permission of each
of the countries to be traversed be-
fore the squadron could start.

FLAMES KILL FIFTEEN IN
NEW YORK TENEMENT

Fifteen persons, mostly children,
lost their lives early Sunday morn
ing in a fire in New York City, he
ieved by officials of that city to be
the work of a pyromaniac. The flames
swept with murderous su.idenness
from cellar to attic of q five-story
brick tenement at Lexington Ave.
and 10th street in the th;ckly popu-
lated East Side.
The blaze apparently started in a
baby carriage under the stairs in the
lower hall under almost identical cir
cumstances as the recent incendiary
fire in an Upper West Side apartment
house which resulted in seven deaths.
So quickly did the flames spread
through the building that number
of the dead were found in bed, being
suffocated without the slightest op-
portunity to escape.

A TIcKLESS TIMEPEIcE

News comes from Berlin that a
tickless clock has been invented by
a German scientist who has been delv-
ing into the field of oscillation. A
selected audience of government Off
Gals, scientists and newspapermen
witnessed a demonstration of invea-
tions Of this nature recently that have
been perfected by this engineer, Hen
rich Schieferstein.
A noiseless timepiece, which oper-
ates without lever, was one of a
number of specimens he used to show
the importance of .oscillating power
for high speed engines and in the
propulsion of ships, airplanes and
Eliders.
A German-American corporation
has been founded in Berlin for world
vide exploitation of these discoveries.
Fred A. Britten. of Illinois, an Amc-
rican congressman, is said to be ac-
lively interested in the inventions.
