in 1921 was 30 per cent greater than in 1913. The purcha sing power of the farm hand who works for wages in 1921 was i per cent less than in 1913, while the purchasing power Of the farmer himself was on an average from 25 to 45 per cent less than in 1913.
 In short" Mir Wallace emphasized, the farmers of the country. number ing almost one-third of our entire population. have borne altogether the hpa viest burden of defiatiOn. They have endeavOred to get relief by all lawful means. They have appealed to the administration. to Congress and to every other agency which they thought might be able to help them, but while making these efforts to avoid their heavy losses they have not struck. They have not created dis orders They have kept on producing and in the face of extraordinarily low prices have this year grown one of the largest crops in our history. The farmer believes in law and order. He believes in government. He believes in fairness between man and man, He believes in working hard and prOduc- ing efficiently.
 If other groups would do as the farmer has done, our economic trou bles would soon be over Prices would soon be adjusted to their normal re- lationships There would be work for everybody and at just wages.

F FARMERS PLEAD FOR
 INDUSTRIAL PEACE
Secretary Wallace Compares Farm
 and Labor Incomes.

LeeSburg Va, Aug. 1.-The farmer calls upon capital and labor to cease their petty hickerings and resume pro duction, trusting to American institu- tionS and the American sense of fair play to see that justice is done to both of them,' Secretary Wallace of the Department of Agriculture. declar- ed in an address here today before the local farm organiza tion
 Mir Wallace presented comparative figures to show that the purchasing power of the farmers dollar had de creased sharply since 1913, while the wages of the workmen, and especially in organized industries, are consider ably higher than they were before the war, whether measured in dollars and cents or in purchasing power
 "The purchasing power of the wages of the railway employe in 1921" he continued, was 51 per cent greater than in 1913 The purchasing power of the wages of the coal miner

JOINED TO THEIR IDOLS

Al frequent intervals there filter out of gay New Yory little stories telling how the wealthy laugh at Mir. Volstead and the eighteenth amendment and i'm port all the good red liquor they please for their banquets and drinking bouts.
 But usually. there follows close on the heels of the encouraging tales that give heart to the thirsty inlander another story that. indicates things in Gotham are not so fast and loose as some would have Us believe
 The governor general of the Bahama Islands arrived in New York Tuesday and gave out a very interesting inter view He says that many wealthy Americans are buying small islands m the Bahaman territory to be used n retreats where they may go into SC. clusion and drink their fill
 This indicates how easy it iS for a New Yorker to give MT Nolstead the merry ha Ina and fill his skin with the outlawed beverage. All that is neceS sary is the purchase of an island the building of refuge and the fitting up of yacht to transport the bbUlously inclined to and fro across the hriny deep,
 Some little outlay. of course, but think of the pleasure to be derived from a sojourn in q quiet little sea island resort, where the wealthy may reel about the feet of their idol, MT Booze. substitute sniffs of the salt sea air for chasers. and have their shat tered nerves soothed by the sound of the breakers on the morning after.
 There is little probability of this latest scheme depopulating the Ameri- can metropolis, and the man in the Bahamas cannot make himself nui- sance on the streets of New York
 We see no occasion for Mir. YOlstead to worry, but it does seem as if things were a bit tighter on the Atlantic coast than some would have us believe Commercial Appeal.

NO TIGHT MONEY HERE
C Construction Work Going On In Texar-
 kama Estimated at S1,000, 900

Texarkana. Ark, Aug. 14.-Despite the stringency in the money market and the continued talk of dull times throughout the country, Texarkana just now is experiencing the greatest activity in building construction in sev eral years.
 II is estimated that the buildings just completed or in process of con Struction represent at total outlay of between $700000 and $1.000 000
 Besides q number of fine homes fthere are more than 2o0 structures, all told, included in the estimate1. J. there are many of more moderate pre- tention but all modern and of sub stantial kind There also is nearing completion Saint Edwards Catholic Church (Arkansas Side1, the cost of which is placed at $75,000; the new Masonic home (TeXas sidei. to cost S50000 and the enlarging and remodel ing of the Elks home to cost S40,000 Two or three substantial brick store buildings in the business section of the city also are being erected

GOVERNOR M'RAE's VICTORY

The sweeping victory won by Gov ernor McRae in the Democratic pri- mary was striking and impressive tribute to one of the ablest executives that Arkansas has ever had in it's cap itol. Governor MeRaes great strength lies in the fact that he is not only q integrity, but he is also a man of long experience with affairs, public and private, and a man capable of formu- lating constructive measures for mak- ing the agencies of government instru ments of greater efficiency and more valuable service
 Governor McRaes opponent. Judge TOney, declared in his campaign that a second term was mot a heritage. but an endorsement term" The re- turns from the voting show that Gov ernor McRae has been sqnarely and unqualifiedly endorsed, and by ma jority that leaves no chance for argu- ment or question.
 We are supposed to have in Arkan- ms custom that a Democratic gov ernor shall, assuming satisfactory service have second term, but this custom does not stand against per sonal ambition or against the desire of governors personal or political enemies or interests or factions op- posed to him to displace him with an other man. The theory of the second term custom Is that a governor shall be unopposed unless his public acts or his private character shall be deemed such that the interests of the people and the honor and dignity of the state demand a change No man ever lived who could serve as govern or of a state and not give grounds for attacks upon him if there were men who wanted to find grounds to attack him If this supposed custom that Democratic governor shall have second term is fiction. a custom more honored in the breach than the observance. then many Democrats will turn to a constitutional provision for a four-year term.-GaZette.

Haitian. Ride Motor Railway.

Small, speedy street cars run BY
Dodge Brothers motors are helping "a
solve the street railway problem OF Prot
Au Prince, capital Of Haiti. HanpeTed
as they are by political troubles and
forces Of occupation, in their treatment
OF the transportation problem the Hal
tians have outstepped many cities more
advantageously situated. Interesting
photographs OF the novel street cars
We're brought back by Edward HenkeL
who visited Haiti recently on board the
Z. S. S. Henderson.
For the period Of the last six o. eight
republics, as they figure time in Haiti,
railroads and street cars there have beea
operated by the Haitian American 81
gar Company. For many years large
sums of money have been sguandeTed
annually in the upkeep of ancient steam
locomotives. which consumed fabulous
quantities OF coal in their short trips.
An economical solution was finally
reached by the railroad superintel. ent
with the help OF Anton kneeT. Dodge
Brothers dealer in Port Au Prince. With
a Dodge Brothers chassis IS a begin
ming, complete street railway coach
was built. The gearing from the origi-
nal rear axle 60 the 32-inch LOGON -ls
wheels which drive the car was greatly
reduced so that the sDroeizets on dry
ing axle and driving wheels were equal
in size. In this way the power which
could be applied was greatly increased.
With total weight Of 1850 pounds
the chassis could now be sped IN 50 fer
ty miles an hour without overheating tina
motor. On this chassis a complete street
car was constructed. and the completed
job is now making regular trips on tbs
streets OF Port An Prince.
So successful has the venture proven
that the Haitian American Sugar Com
pany contempiates adding three or four
more street cars on Dodge Brothers
chassis. and similar jobs TO haul sH-
gar out OF their plantations.
