NEWS NOTES

Especial News Correspondent

Washington, D. O., January 7
The most of the Senate Republi-
cans evidently take the view that
the seat belongs to Newberry be-
cause he bought and paid for it,
FOR there cen be no other reason
for their attitude. The price was
a bit high, for several hundreds of
thousands have already been ac-
counted for, but just at that time
the Senate was practically tie, and
control in the hands of the big in
terests was very important.
A new party is being organized
in Nebraska-or the revival of an
an old one-called the Progressive
party. The Wall Street Journal
doubtless discovers a danger thatit
may grow into something that will
take from the Republicans few
seats in the Senate, for it has not
forgotten the Populists, the Silver
Republicans, the Bull Moosers and
the Non-Partisan League. 1t is
curious what an attraction those
parties have for the Northwestern
farmers. Probably it is due to
their having repeatedly been
stung by accepting Republican
promises. Certainly the moral is
plain-they might vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. The Journal Gevotes
the best part of column to crush
ing the new party in it's very in
ceptiou-which would be some in
dication of it's possessing both vir-
tue and possibilities.

mittee, recently made a speech in
which he devoted two hours to
some of the failings and shortcom-
ings of the Republican party. The
Washington Post promptly took
up the cudgels in defense of the
administration and took occasion
to warn Mr.. Hull of the embarrass-
ing position he would be IN "if
somebody in the audience should
ask for an accounting of the mon
ey spent during the war;" Has
everyone forgotten that the last
Congress constituted the Graham
smelling committee" to go into
that very thing, for the purpose of
digging up enough scandals to
keep the Democratic party out of
power forever? The Committee
spent nearly year on the job and
finally agreed that there was one
corporation toward which the fng-
er of suspicion might well be point
ed-a great Pittsburg steel corpo-
ration of which Secretary Mellon
is Director. This doesn't seem
to have hurt the gentle Secretary
greatly with the Administration,
for he is still handling the peoples
money and has been of great aid to
the big rich fellows in getting
them "unsoaked" in the matter of
income and excess profits taxes,
but it suggests that Republican ed
itors might find. it less embarrass-
ing at times to be better Informed.
Secretary Mellon is not very well
known to the general public, fact
due largely to his peculiar reti-
cence. With him secrecy is a fol-
bic. He is connected in a large
way with some of the worst preda-
tory corporations in America, such
as the Aluminium Company of
America, one of the greediest OF
! the monOpolies, but it is practical

alks to Farmers
OPPORTUNITIES IN 1922.
BY T. r. PECK
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE

The year just beginning will Of
fer to the farmers of Tennessee, as
it will to the farmers of all other
States, greater opportunities than
ever before in the history of the
country. While it is true that the
prices the farmer has been receiv-
ing for his products during the
past year were such as to afford
him no margin of profit over the
cost of production, the yield of the
various crops has been bountiful
If the farmer has been economica
he has been able to make ends
meet, and should be in position to
face the new year with confidence.
In considering his condition the
farmer may well afford to contrast
his with that Of the thousands up
Oh thousands OF workingmen who
in all sections of the country have
for months been without employ
ment, and who have been faced
with the problem of providing for
their families. While the farmer
has been receiving mlserably small
returns for his labor, he has been
able to produce enough to provide
for his family.
The census of 1920 gave the val
ue of all farm property in Tenn
essee as $25l, 1854, ,585, including
land, buildings, implements and
machinery and live stock. There
are 1927 farms in the State and
this represents an average value
per farm of 81 ,953. This is ali i'm
mense value of the investment in
the base of all industries-agricul.
ture-and this is an investment
that will continue to increase aud
grow in value.
The problem OF greatest moment
to the farmer of Tennessee, next
to that of increased production, is
to bring about system of market
ing that will allow him. to get a
righteous portion of the profits of
his labor. The farmers share of
the consumers dollar is to small
by far, and it is not likely to be
larger until the farmers shall COOP
crate in business ways for business
advantage, as the farmers in other
States have done-notably on CAL
ifornia. In that State the grower
of fruits and other commodities
have organized efficient marketing
associations, with capable men in
charge, and their products are,
marketed TO advantage.

ly impossible, after searching
through all sorts of manuals, to
learn anything worth while of
these companies, their income or
their profits; they are all well con-
cealed. So it was in the days of
John Barleycorn, when Mellon
was making a huge fortune out of
whiskey and beer. Few are aware
that the Mellon family wealth ri
walls that of the Rockefellers. In
fact it is believed that the family
controls about two billions Of capi-
tal-twice the amount of the Ma
tional debt at the beginning of the
war and also controlled the ma
chine of Pennsylvania through the
late Senator Penrose. Secretary
Mellon is an officer and director in
banks and insurance companies
with resources of $500, 1854
He is an officer and director Of
other companies having known as
sets of $753, 3,480,923. He is head

Mr.. Tincher of Kansas in the
exuberance of his soul, cried out
for a tariff tax of one thousand

tries to keep his feet on tire ground,
said in reply: "Let there be a few

charge true? x y In this
session of Congress it is proposed
to pass a consumption or sales tax
that will lay a new tax burden and
increased prices on necessaries of
life consumed by four to five mil

lilies who are now fighting for a
bare existence, and on over three

BLOW AFFECTS THE NERVES
Sudden Shock to Brain Causes Sensa.
tIon Known to Many Of Us as
"seeing Stars"

Each Of the five senses has its spe.
cial set Of nerves through which sen.
sations are recorded In the brain.
With the exception Of the nerves Of
touch, which extend to all parts Of the
body, these perform special functions
for certain individual organs, the
nerves of sight being connected with
the eyes, those Of smell with the nose,
those Of taste with the mouth, and
those of hearing with the ears.
Whenever the brain receives sud
den shock, such as would follow a
blow on the head, the vision nerves
are disturbed In such a way as to pro-
duce the effect of seeing flashes Of
light, or Stars
The sensitive eye-nerves cannot be
Jared without producing this effect Of
light, while a severe blow will often
react in similar manner on the
nerves Of hearing, thus leading the
person who Is struck to- imagine that
he is listening to unusual noises.

The reputation that Americans are

The reputation that Americans are
the greatest meat-eating people in the
world is not sustained by the facts.
The principal meat-eating nations OF
the world, in order Of per capita con-
sumption, are Argentine, Australia
and New Zealand, with the United
States standing fourth. There has
been decline in recent years Of the
per capita consumption Of meat in the
United States. This is largely
attributable to the high retail price of
meat which has increased out Of all
proportion to the price obtained by
the farmer for his livestock and the
prices at which the packer and whole
saler dispose of the meat to the re-
taller. The reaction of this decrease
in consumption Of meat is beginning
to be evident in the decrease in the
production of livestock. While the
stockman is becoming bankrupt rails
ing beef cattle at $7.75 per hundred
weight, Armour & Co. will have no
trouble in financing the $30,000,0 900
deal that will give them possession
Of the Morris packing interests. eAll
of which indicates who is making the
profit out of the cattle business.
