CATCHING UP WITH ADAM
 SMITH

When you see a nation great or small, acting on the assumption that there is not wealth enough to get around, that the only way for our na- tion to have all it wants is to take it away from some other nation, and that if one nation prospers it must be at the expense of other nations, it will be interesting to think about Adam Smith.
 Adam Smith, wise old Scotsman, wrote a book once uon a time called forth in 1776-interestingly enough, in the same year that the Declaration of Independence was put forth. Before that book was printed, it was supposed that the interests of na- tions were opposed to each other; that when one nation acquired wealth it was at the expense of other nations; and that where one nation gained it must be because some other nation had lost. That was the prevailing idea when Adam Smith wrote his book.
 Now in that book Adam Smith shows that this was all monstrous error. He said-and proved-that the prosperity of nation depended not on what it could get away from some other nation, but on what it developed within itself. It's prosperity depended upon it's capital, and it's capital on it's habit of saving. He said--and proved-that gold is not wealth, but only the representative of wealth. Wealth, he said and proved, is the value which labor and skill add to raw material.
 Above all he showed that the bene- fits of trade between nations must be reciprocal; that where nations trade with each other each must benefit or there would be no trade; and that each nation contributes to and parti- cipates in the prosperity of the family of nations.
 Now this means that a nation can not profit by the adversities of other nations; that each nation has a direct interest in the well-being of all na- tions; and that the markets of the world are so closely associated that 1 there can't be serious interference with the prosperity of part of the world without the bad effects being iStt by dll p1iIS Ol the WOTIu. If Adam Smith could see the world today he would be in position to ut ter the loudest q told you so" in all history.
 Remember, please that Adam Smith in the Wealth of Nations" completely exploded the old idea of which was based an idea of national selfishness out of which grew many wars-including, mind you, the late World war.
 In the light of that, it is worth while looking around to see how near ly the world has caught up with Adam Smiths truth which he printed cen tury and a half ago. That look will show that the world is long way from catching up with it; that Adam Smith and his truth are still on be- yond.
 That seems pretty slow work. It IS slow work. But the world has done slower work than that. Nearly two thousand years ago a Truth came to earth which is a simple cure for all of humanity's troubles, individual, social, industrial, political, national and in- ternational. And that world hasn't caught up with that Truth yet-Du- luth Herald.

THE FARMER MUST BE WATCH
 FILL.

Let the farmer keep his weather eve open when he considers taking advantage of legislation aimed at greatly enlarging his borrowing ca- pacity. The adage Beware the Creeks Bearing Gifts" may not fit the situation with nicety, but it nay he we'll to remember that bor- rowed money is easily squandered while that earned by the sweat of the brow usually is conserved. Relief must be afforded of course, and it will be afforded, because if the na- tion's prosperity is not to be danger eusly checked the expansion of farm CT credit is inevitable. However, washing all the confusing technical fly specks of the picture and looking at 1t thru plain horse sense glasses the farmer never will have cent of money lent to him except it be on security that is unquestionable, legis- lation or no legislation, and when money is borrowed there is estab- lished lien on the farmers produc- tion and correspondingly a certain domination of distribution and the fundamentals of business manage ment. Care must be taken that the financial interests do not get too strong grip on the agricultural sroup of our American life. It is ob- ious that farmers, particularly stock
 lisers. cannot operate on short time
 ms but they should be cautious if
 portunity is presented to them tc se~ money with such ease that its value will be lost to sight. It is easy to drift down the stream, but there must be a day of reckoning always day of accounting and settling up The role of domination must bs played by the farmer, not by the f. naneier

ABOUT THE TRUCK GROWERS.
W. H. Morden Tells of Trip to D.
 Queen-One Crop Not Advisable.


 On last Thursday the writer, at the request of MT. Alspaugh, and a num- Der of farmers, accompanied them to De Queen in the interest of the truck and berry growing industry. It is the purpose of this article to tell of some of the things we saw, some that we heard, and then some of the gen eral ideas we have formed by making the trip
 The first impression we got was that the farmers had real organi- zation in Sevier county that has the appearance of functioning for khe general good There is a well fitted office with Mir. Glenn Wallace as manager, Mir. Schied as bookkeeper. and a stenographer
 From the office we were taken to see some farms. The first we stopt at is a 5-acre strawberry farm. It showed to be in fine shape. clean and well-tilled. We were told about the methods of cultivation, planting and marketing.
 Next we visited blackberry farm of several acres. Propagation, set tng, cultivation, pollenation, and va rieties were discussed. This same man has very fine peach orchard SO well cared for that it almost looked as tho the trees were oiled up for n special occasion. We were told that the owner sold all the peaches last year at S5 crate, or s15 a bushel The high price came from the scare lty for the fruit and the very fine va iriety.. This same man explained that De sold 8 farm in Nebraska for s2OO tn acre and came to Arkansas. He purchased his land here at STR an lere and says for production the Ar kansss land is far ahead of that in Nebraska. ''
 Along the road we saw many or haras of all ages. strawberry 'atches. blackberries. etc. One young rchard was said to have 500 aeres ;S
 The Polk county farmers had ns.ness meeting with those of eeVie~ the afternoon. the main purpose be.

The Final Word.

At dinner one evening when the soup came on they started an argu. ment about the price of the sitting room carpet, or it might have been the gravel for the front garden. As the fish was served the argument was getting hotter; the joint saw it a lit tie warmer still. until, when the des. sert arrived, both husband and wife could hardly eat for indignation.
 Then the wife interrupted herself to say to her husband, in a plaintive voice: T don't know whatever would happen, Paul, if you ever agreed wit me on any sopic."
 He looked at his better half and sighed. "f'd be wrong" hc said. "T'f be wrong Washington Post

pv c.H. AtspAueH. County Agent
Terracing Is Needed.

Terracing Is Needed.
 A number of farmers in different parts of the county are having ter race grades run on their fields. This is a very important work. These hill sides may be saved by terracing. It is a physical impossibility for the county agent to do all the terracing work needed in the county. He is en- deavoring, however, to reach someone in each locality, which calls for ter racing, to run the grade lines. The county instrument may be had when ever it is not in use and the farmers in these localities can run their own lines.
 The Truck and Berry Marketing contracts will be left in the Commer- cial Club office. Those wanting to sign them should ask for them there.
 Don't expect to find the county agent in the office except on Satur- days. You will get better results by dropping him a letter with your re- quests than by leaving messages with someone who is liable to forget about them.

them, and they fled. An attempt was
made to, find out what remarks were
exchanged before the fight between
Cisney and Friedemann. but on this the
boys were hazy. 1t is said there was

Cisneys answer to this was to rip of
his coat and lash at Friedemann with
his fists.
There were no rounds and no gloves.

minutes, when Cisney, who was pant
ing, raised his right arm TO push up the
hair that was wet and clamped down
over his eyes. The youths agreed. ac-

SCHWAB IS DOOMED
FOR SENATORSHIP
Two Pennsylvania Seats Will
Be Filled in November
Elections.
Special Dispatch 30 THE NEW York HERALD

Special Dispatch 90 THE NEW York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c.. Jan. 9.
Charles NJ Schwab, chairman of the
board OF directors of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, is being discussed
among Pennsylvania politicians as a
possible candidate for the United States
Senate. according 70 reports reaching
here to-day. ]. Leonard Replogle of
Johnstown Pa, president of the Vana-
dunn Corporation of America, and
prominent oil operator and railroad Off
cial who has been doomed for the Sena-
torship by the Chamber of Commerce
of Johnstown, has telegraphed that or
ganization to boost Mr.. Schwab instead
Pennsylvania is at present without
representation in the Senate, stuatlon
arising from the recent death OF Sena-
tor Penrose and the serious illness from
pernicious anemia OF Senator Crow In
Pittsburgh hospital.
The Republican party leaders here
have been urging Gov. Sproul in tele-
grams to Harrisburg to hasten the ap-
pointment of a successor to Senator Pen
rose because of the narrow margin or
votes on some OF the important measures
now pending.
1t is reported that Sena or Crows
chances of recovery are very slight. He
Is now De1nR kept alive py Tepedlcu
blood transfusions. His death. which
may occur at any time, would make IT
necessary for Gov. Sproul to Ali two va
cancies, pending the election of two Sen
ators next November.
Mr.. Schwab is the type of business
man whom many persons believe should
be in the Senate especially as the rep
resentative OF a great Industrial State
like Pennsylvania. 1t is said, however,
there is an understanding among the
Republican leaders Of the State that the
successor to Senator Penrose shall come
from Philadelphia, the home of Penrose.
If adhered to, this understanding would
prevent the appointment of Mr.. Schwab
at this time.
Mr.. Schwab, therefore. is being put
forward by his friends as the successor
to Senator Crow, who is not expected to
be a candidate in the November cleo
tions. Mr.. Crow was appointed by Gov.
Sproul to fill the vacancy caused by the
death last summer of Senator Knox.
Whether Mr.. Schwab will consent to
become a candidate is not known here.
but many Republicans from Pennsyl-
vania believe he would look with favor
on the plan. With his broad knowledge
OF business and industry 1t is believed
that he would prove valuable addition
to the Senate and would help to restore
to that body the prestige lost to Penn
sylvania by the deaths of Senators Knox
and Penrose.
