Exactly to the extent the farmers
and farming communities grasp tht
idea of a government subsidy (boun
ty) ON the four principal farm pro
ducts do they realize this is the one
big chance for the farmers-and then
the nation-to get back on their fl
nancial legs again; and by it they
would only be getting back a portion
of what they have been giving to pro-
tect our infant industries all these
many years.
Make the farmer prosperous and all
win be prosperous. Let's pass the
thing around little. Live and let
live. The subsidy on the four prin-
cipal farm products will turn the trick
and by little effort the farmers and
farming communities can put con
gress on the job which win make the
subsidy operative. With this one
plan as their immediate great objec-
tive a house and senate membership
could be chosen that would make the
present farm bloc' look like the
crowd after the home town team s
defeat
Certainly such movement would
have powerful opposition. Every cor
porate controlled city newspaper
would howl its head off about the dan
gers of such a plan; all those interests
which are now enjoying government
cinch under existing tariff laws would
fight this straight out deal for the
farmer with everything they have to-
fight with But if the farmer will just
stop and think and understand, the
others would fight in vain.
The subsidy plan in this case would
be as fair as the transference from one
fund to another by any establishment
or organization to better facilitate its
operation and effectiveness. The
farmer fund is low, SO low that the
whole machinery is clogged. BY TAX
ing from the other funds and replen-
ishing the farmer fund, the lubricant
will be supplied which will minimize
the friction and the grand old machine
will hum merrily on as it should.

The government employs something
like 10000 girls as stenographers and
typists. Their average pay is $1,000
year. A treasury expert estimates
that each one of these girls use up one
hour day in primping during work
ing hours 1t pains the expert to
think that the government pays them
$6,000,000 year in salaries for which
it receives no return. Should the
girls be locked for the time they con-
sumo in primping and powdering their
nosesa Possibly they should. Not
even the government should be expect
ed to pay for services that are not
rendered But let's start right and
dock impartially. Is there man in
the government employ who really
works his eight hours each day. AS
a matter of fact, don't the majority
of them loaf from one to three hours
every day. Call it two hours as
fair example. Including among the
number the gentlemany expert who
would dock the girls for keeping them
selves beautiful for our benefit Now
do some more brilliant figuring, Mr..
Expert, and tell us the result Save

.luding the male loafers it would be
nearer a hundred millions Sure thingl
Turn the switch and start the official S
iockert to working. But soak the big t
guns and chief loafers first. e

SPECULAT|ONSR RIFE
ON NEW JUDGESH|P
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.
Speculation began here today over
the forthcoming appointment of an
additional district judge in Georgia.
This appointment iS provided for in
the omnibus judgeshi' bill which
passed the senate Friday night and
creates tWenty-three additional
judS to relieve congestion in the
federal courts. The bill goes to con-
ference, but the differences between
the two houses are not Sucl4 as to
hold up an agreement.
1t is believed here that President
Harding, who served in the senate
with both Governor Thomas w.
Hardwick and Hoke Smith, would
give the Georgia judgeship to either
of these men should he express a
willingness to take the appointment.
However, it is known here that Sen
ator Hoke Smith, whose name has
been mentioned in this connection,
does not want the judgeship. When
his name was first suggested, former
Senator Smith wrote Georgia friends
saying under no circumstances could
he be considered for the place and
that he could not accept it if Of
fered. Senator Smiths legal en-
Payments have extended recently to
many important southern connec-
lions and to large international mat
ters ad his law practice is such he
could not relinquish it. When he
finishes with these matters, it is
his purpose to return to Georgia,
but with no desire for any office.
1t is generally believed here that
President Harding will appoint Gov
ernor Hardwick if he desires the
position, but tine press of the state
indicates that Governor Hard
wick will be given re-elec-
ton without opposition, and it is
doubted here whether he will ac-
cept the position.
Among other names mentioned is
that of William J. Tilson, of the
firm of Greene, Tilson & Mckinney.
Mr.. Tilson is a Republican, but rec
ognized as a lawyer of high charac-
ter and ability. If a Republican is
appointed, the belief is he would be
faVorably considered.

with five others in yesterdays mid
air passenger airplane collision, the
being claimed by the American
authorities and will be brought to
Paris probably tomorrow night.
Consul General Thackara today sent
a consular agent to Beauvais and
Thleulloy, near which places the &C.
cldent occurred, with all the neces-
sary papers.
One body is stills in a farm house
close to the scene of the catastrophe,
the other is in the village city hall.
Both husband and wife are so badly
crushed that there may be difficulty
in legal identification if, as is eX-
pected, the French follow the usual
procedure of insisting upon and in
quest. But Mr.. Thackara has given
his agent the fullest authority and
he expects the French will waive
teChnicalities and expedite legal
formalities so the bodies may be
brought to Paris tomorrow night.
The bodies will be placed in lead
caskets and kept in a vault at the
American church in Paris until rela-
tives send instructions. Consul
Thackara acted at the request of a
tourist agency in London which sent
papers and funds to facilitate re-
turning the bodies. The only adj

FORMER SAILOR
TAKES IN WASHING

FAIRMONT, w. Waiver an OPP
timist. despite almost a year of
fruitless job hunting, Roy Schuman,
eighteen-ye ar-old former sailor, is
! making a success of taking in wash
ings to support himself and his in
valid parents.
Schuman was discharged from the
navy in February, 1921. He arrived
home to find his parents i'll and I'm
able to support themselves.
Don't worry" he told them. "I'll
get something to do and it'll be
easier for US"
Spring came, then summer and
autumn, but all the work Roy had
been able to find was just enough
odd jobs to keep him from losing
hope.
Just when thigs began to look
pretty black, Roy got the idea that
! was to solve his problem. Since his
| return from the navy, he had 'een
doing his mot er's Washings-and
doing them well, the neighbors said.
If he could do WaShings for his own
family, why, he asked himself,
couldn't he do them just as well for
outsiders?
Against the advice of some older
people and in spite of the jibeS of
scoffers, Roy went to the proprietor
of a department store and explained
his plan.
Interested in the scheme, the pro-
prietor sold him an electric washing
oh olnatrio iron
easy terms. With these Roy went
home and started to work.
In three months he has picked up
| a record business and it. is growing
| larger daily.
Down in the basement of the
Schuman home, you can hear at al
most any hour of the day the slosh-
ing and Whirring of the electric
washer and up from below comes
the smell of hot, soapy things being
! made clean. The Schuman home is
encircled by filed clothes lines.
Each morning Roy goes out with
a basket and collects the wash for
that day and in the evening he car.
ries it back to his satisfied custom
erS
The ex-sailor was found standing
knee-deep in clothes in front of the
sloshing washer. A question as to
whether he liked his job brought a
wide grin.
"Well, 1 can't say really like it, I"
he said. But it's better than ordi-
nary manual labcr-and there's
more money in it.
There isn't anything about it to
be ashamed Of. It's honest work,
isn't it?"
Schuman is planning busily as he
bends over his wash tubs on a
scheme to develop his present bust
ness into something greater. He
wants a real laundry business and
is boarding his savings to get it.

Lamborn & Co.: A decline usually follows
the spring advance and it may be well also
to recall the old adage not to bull the tail
end of a small crop.

purchase on all good setbacks.
]. w. Jay & Co.. The strength of the
statistical position helps to stabilize prices
until there is definite knowledge as to
the new supplies for next season.
Hayden, Stone & Co.: We believe reac-
lions from these levels will prove tempo
rary.
S. B. Chaplin & Co.: Further fresh pur-
chases in the distant months should only be
made in the event Of some further decline

policy to follow for the present.
Hubbard Bros. & Co: There has been en- en-,

opinion, should be utilized for the purpose

MORE MONEY NEEDED?
Roger w. Babson Answers the Farmers Question

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass,
April 8.-Checking up the findings of
his recent tour of investigation with
the figures available at his home Of
flee, Roger w. Babson, the Stats
ticiar, today made very interesting
observation regarding our present
supply of money. Everywhere
throughout the south and middle
west" he says, Il found business
men and farmers clamoring for more
money and more credit. The cry is
not a new one. Ever since we have
had money, men have looked to the
apparently simple formula of more
money as solution to financial
problems.
"Witness Europe today, for exam
pie. They have followed this plan
meeting each new emergency with
more money and more credit. AS a
result the franc has fallen from 10
cents to 8 cents; the lire from l9
cents to 5 cents; the mark from %
cents to Is of cent, and the Aus
tralian crown from 20 cents to one
hundredth of cent! Living costs
have gone to ridiculous heights in
these latter countries and everyone
is, much worse off than they were
before the initiation took place.
while this has been going on we
have steadily reduced currency and
credit. Our circulating media has
been cut from $59.43 per capita-the
figure for November, 1920-to $50.27
in March, 1922. This is fundamental
ly an improvement which critics

Packers May Reduce
Capital Stock Greatly

CHICAGO. April 8.-A special
meeting of the stockholders of Lib.
by, Mcneil & Libby, packers, was
called today to meet April % for the
purpose of reducing the capital stock
from $27 100000 to $6,750,000 in view
of an operating loss OF s22,O0O,O0O
the past year.
Under the proposed reorganiza-
ton it is planned to give each share
holder one share of stock for each
four now held, thus cancelling g.
O25,O00 shares of outstanding stock.
The statement announcing the meet
ing said that the past year had been
exceedingly hard on the company
because of general business depres-
sion, and that the loss for the year
ending March 4, 1922, was $22, 428,-

of currency and credit at this time
would boost living costs and make
conditions worse instead of better.
You cannot solve our economic prob
lens by legislating prices up and
down or by running the printing
presses overtime. Prosperity is meas
ured in goods, not in gold.
"Our merchandising machinery
needs oiling and cleaning. D;stribu-
ton must be speeded up-middlemen
who do not serve a legitimate need
must be eliminated-freight rates
must be Teduced-in short, our chan.
nels which lead from producer to
consumer which now wander about
like COW paths on the general theory
that the longest way around vie is
the greatest number of profits must
be reconstructed on the cold mathc-
NAUTICAL truth that a straight line is
the shortest distance between two
points.
incidentally, there is altogether
too much ignorant criticism of the
federal reserve board. This group of
men has done a wonderful work dur
ing this trying period of readjust-
ment and has stuck by it's guns in
spite of tremendous pressure and
public demand for a more liberal
policy. This single body of clear
thinking men has done more to keen
us out of the sort of economic mess
that Europe finds itself in today than
all the rest. of the country put to-
gether. They deserve your enthusi.
astic support"
Mr.. Babson went on to discuss
general conditions which are hold
ing up very well in spite of indus
trial unrest. The Babson chart index.
for instance, shows general business
