We have travelled long way from
the old conception of government as
merely defensive and policing agency;
and regulative. corrective, or equaliz-
ing legislation, which apparently is OF
a special nature, is often Of the most
general beneficial consequences. Even
the First Congress passed a tariff act

Let us. then, consider some Of the
farmers grievances, and see how far
they are real. In doing SO, we should
remember that, while there have been,
and still are, Instances Of purposeful
abuse, the subject. should not be ap
preached with any general imputation
to existing distrihutive agencies Of de
liberately Intentional oppression, but
rather with the conception that the
marketing of farm products has not
been modernized.
An ancient evil. and persistent
one. Is the undergrading OF farm prod
ucts, with the result that what the
farmers sell as of one quality IL re-
sold as Of higher. That this sort Of
chicanery should persist on any I'M
portant scale In these days OF bust
ness integrity would seem almost In
credible, but there 10 much evidence
that 1t does so persist. Even as
write, the newspapers announce the
suspension Of several firms from the
gew York Produce Exchange for ex-
porting to Germany as No, wheat
whole shipload OF grossly inferior wheat
mixeds with oats. chafr and the like.
Another evil is that Of inaccurate
weighing of farm products. which. II
is charged, Is sometimes matter Of
dishonest Intention and sometimes Of
protective policy on the part of the
local buyer. who fears that he may
weigh OUT more than he weighs In"
A greater grievance is that at pres
ent the field farmer has little or no
control over the time and conditions
Of marketing his products. with the
result that he is often underpaid for
bis products and usually overcharged
for marketing service. The differ
ence between what the farmer re-
ceiyes and what the consumer pays
often exceeds all possibility of justi-
fcation. To cite single illustration.
Last year, according to figures attest
ed by the railways and the growers,
Georgia watermelon-raisers received
on the average rs cents for melon,
the railroads got 12.7 cents for carry
ing 1t to Baltimore and the consumer
paid one dollar, leaving 1913 cents for
the service of marketing and it's risks,
as against 2O.2 cents for growing and
transporting. The hard annals OF
farm-life are replete with such com
mentaries on the crudeness Of pres
ent practices.
Nature prescribes that the farmers
goods" must be finished within two
or three months OF the year, while
financial and storage limitations gen.
orally compel him to sell them at the
same time. As a rule, other industries
are In continuous process Of finish
ing goods for the markets; they dis
tribute as they produce, and they can
curtail production without too great
injury to themselves or the commu-
nifty; but II the farmer restricts his
output, It is with disastrous cOnse
quences, both to himself and to the
community.
The average farmer is busy with
production for the major part Of the
year, and has nothing to sell. The
bulk of his output comes on the mar
ket at once, Because Of lack Of st0r-

Some Aspects Of the

BY BERNARD ~ BARUCH

Of their inability to meet mortgages Or
ito pay current bills, and how, seeking
relief from their ills, they are plan
ming to form pools. inaugurate farM.
ers' strikes, and demand legislation
abolAsning grain exchanges, private
cattle markets, and the like, we ought
not hastily to brand them as economic
heretics and highwaymen, and hurl at
them the charge Of being seekers Of
special privilege, Rather, we should
ask II their trouble is not ours, and
see what can be done to improve the
situation. Purely from self-interest,
II for no higher motive, we should
help them. All of us want to get back
permanently to "normalcy;" but is 1t
reasonable to hope for that condition
unless our greatest and most basic in
dustry can be put on sound and solid
permanent foundation? The farmers
are not entitled TO special privileges; |;
but are they not right in demanding
that they be placed on an equal foot

The Valley City High School basket
ball team, which meets the local team
at the high school gymnasium here
tonight, comes as one of the strongest
teams in the state and all visiting
players are in fine condition. Valley
City won the championship last year
and the team is out after the honors
again this year. ...
The Valley team has Wevten a
man with three years experience WHO
is an all-state forward and who is one
of the best forwards in the state this
wear. He is a good shot and can pivot
to perfection, and this season is fear
ed by all guards. The Valley City
team has many clever offense plays
which are hard to break up and also
has strong defense They beat Bis
marck on January and now that the
local team is back in condition after
their two weeks trip, they expect to
win. but know they will have to put
up the hardest fight that may be eX-
pected this year.
With Scroggins, Doyle and Mid
daugh at guards, Alison at center and
Burke, Brown and kludt at forwards
It is expected that the local team will
be ready TO put up the best battle OF
the season. The game is called at .

test Of the final games Of the year
without any too much confidence in
the ability Of the squad to meet big
rugged team. The squad thus far has
shown itself as clever and alert on
the offensive but the pair OF guards
who graduated year ago have not
been thoroughly replaced.

tain OF the team and has had little
trouble in winning his old place.
Burke, a last years forward also had
held his place without a struggle, BIZ.

year ago, has had harder place to
hold and his condition has been such
he has been at a disadvantage in HIS
battle with some husky youngsters. or
the newcomers, or men from the Sec

The honor was bestowed upon her
by the University of Iowa life saving

lightly by, it is we'll to mention that
the Porpoise club is an exclusive mems

open only to the most graceful and
the best#swimmers in the Red Cross
outfit.
Mss Dorothy is to preside at the
annual acquatic meet to be held in
Iowa City at the University Of Iowa.
Like swimming? She says it's the
best sport of all.
Her dad, DR.. w. Hoag, has had, a
heap to do with her water ability, for
back in her teens, Dorothy had a fully
equipped gymnasium in her own home.
And father used to tip daughter on
to all the rudiments of this. ehat and

twice sent home hard lefts which sur
prised Carpenter who continually
failed to find openings for his right.
Up to the third round the bout ap-
peared to be going in favor OF che
Australian. In the third Carpenter
landed a light left to the chin but
at close quarters Cook fought hard.

round the Frenchman scored well

RiQhts Do the Trick
The Australian caught Carpenter
with blow to the jaw after the bell
had sounded and was cautioned by

mostly at close quarters. Carpenter
twice landed lefts to the head and
Cook scored to the chin. The Austral-
