HAS TWO CURES FOR
 AGRICULTURAL ILLS
President of American Farm Bureau Federation Speaks at Farmers
 Week Observance

Columbus, O., Feb. 1.-Radicalism will increase in the event of delayed agricultural economic adjustments, J. R. Howard, president of the Amer ican farm bureau federation declared in an address today at farmers week at Ohio state university here.
 "The agricultural conference called by President Harding last week show ed at the start 8 wind current toward the farmer labor movement" he said.
 My mail brings me daily proposals from all quarters demanding such ex- pedients as the government making direct real estate loans, to the farmers at two or three per cent by currency issue, or the refunding of all Liberty and Victory bonds with a federal cur rency," Mr. Howard said
 II want to urge upon you the necessity for careful thought and ac- tion. It is we'll to remember that in matters of business the state is less efficient that the individual. Men may create governments, but governments cannot make men.
 II approve that constructive radi- calism which provokes serious thought. It spells progress. I will go to the limit regarding cooperative market ing and government supervision Of all public utilities.
 But I deplore a growing tendency on the part of not only of some farm CTS, but other men in high places, to stress the functioning of government too much and of the individual too little.
 Two things must happen in the way of solution of Agricultural ills, Mr. Howard said, the Development of new and cheaper lines of transportation and the greater development of elel- tricity, so that 1t may be applied to transportation fully.
 The Lexington Guards will hold drill in Jr o. U. A. M. hall Thursday evening immediately after the regular meeting. Carpet bowling and set back tournaments will take place.

son was making some alterations on
the elevator shaft at the Eckhart ele-

a distance of seven or eight feet. 1t

showed no broken bones or internal
injuries. He is mighty sore, however,
and will be laid up a couple of weeks.

feed breaking his fall, he would pos
sihlY have been killed.
