FARMERS NEED
AND WANT HELP
SAYS WITNESS
Performance Not Promise, Is Insist.
ed on by Agricultural
interests

Congress and bureau heads at
Washington have been hearings from
the farmers wives, and are learnin,
a few things that, if taken seriously
to heart and then embodied in con-
structive legislation, would make I'M
necessary lot of explanations that
the farmers at home are going to de-
mand unless something is done to re-
lieve their bad condition.
When Mrs. Nels P. Radick travelled
all the way from Fulda, Mimi, to
Washington she had serious object
in view. She wanted official Wash
ington to know what deflation has
done to the women. Mrs. Radick
knows. She is "dirt" farmer. Last
summer she helped plant corn and in
the fall she helped to harvest it. She
toiled in the fields shocking oats and
barley and doing other back break

ing tasks. This was in addition to
looking after her homework and pro-
viding for her family.
Yes, Mrs. Radick knows the WON
ans problem on the farm. She has
been face to face with it for many
bitter months. She wanted the house
agricultural committee to know it.
Witness Holds Her Own
Seventeen members of the COM
mittee undertook to cross examine
Mrs. Radick, but she more than held
her own. The burden of her story
was that the farmer needs and wants
help, and he needs it right off
Promises, she said, We're no longer
legal tender in the district where she
resides.
After she left the committee Mrs.
Radick went to see the president.
The official who met her told her
that the president was running
away for a few days vacation"
What is the president running
away from?" was the retort from
this quick-witted woman.
She then suggested that, since the
president seemed to have plenty of
time to talk with the financial inter
asts that were seeking big revolving
funds and subsidies for the railroads
and for ships, she thought it would
be very appropriate for him to give
little time to the needs of farmers
wives.
More than 100000 farm women
are fighting for their children. Mrs.
Radick says. Farmers" she de-
clared, Give by hope, faith, and acct
dent. We pillow and sow in hope, live
by faith, and market by accident"
Whole Family Is Working
Out in her section last year, Mrs.
Radick added. father. mother, and
children all went to work, yet their
combined earnings were only cents
an hour. That was due, she declares
to the policy of deflation forced upon
the farmers by Big Business.
Children on the farm are described
by this woman as Gust vocal agri-
cultural implements" They are COM
PEELED to leave school that they may
take their places in the fields. This
situation. she prophesied. could not
long continue if the nation was to
maintain it's place in civilization.

SAYS WAGE
CUT WOULD BE
ECONOMIC CRIME
Counsel for Railroad Workers De-
clares Carriers Are Misrepre-
senting Conditions

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion completed it's investigation of
railroad rates with arguments by
representatives of carriers, the pub
lie, and railway employees.
Speaking for the 10 organizations
of railway workers, Glenn E. Plumb
advised the commission that it was
the purpose of the carriers and the
interests associated with them to
overwhelm it with a mass of testi-
mony showing there could be no re-
duction in freight rates without cor
responding reductions in wages.
The commission, Mr.. Plumb insist
ed, had no jurisdiction to in any way
determine the reasonableness of
wages under any decision of the labor
board.
Testimony offered to the commits
sion, he added. showed that there is
no need for reducing wages, but that
there is positive need of immediate
rate cuts. A cut in wages at this
time. he declared, would be an eco
nomic crime.
Net earnings of railroads in 1921,
it was shown, had increased from
poH ,ooo,OOo III 10HO 10 quiz ,OOO,OOO III
1921, nearly 1000 per cent. Operat-
ing expenses decreased more than 80
per cent. For the latter part of 1921
the decrease in operating expense
was more striking. If, Mr. Plumb
said, the same rate of Improvement
were carried into 1922 there would
be no need for wage cuts.
1t has been conclusively proven
Mr.. Plumb stated, that if present
rates were reduced on a large num-
Der of commodities there would be an
increased volume of traffic to further
boost operating profits.

Near Death for
Girls in Joy Ride
with Strangers

Hackensack, n. j.. March o5,-By
dint of incessant questioning, the po.
lice tonight had obtained coherant
story of how two 17-year- old Newark
girls came to be found about midnight
unconscious by the roadside in West.
wood.
1t was the story of a joyridc with
two Strange men, whose actions were
alleged to have so alarmed their com.
panions that they jumped from the
speeding car. Miss Margaret Fox
was lying tonight in the Hackensack
hospital with u possible fracture of
the skull; her Chum. Miss Loretta
Dalton, was out under $500 bond as
a material witness, and the police
were looking for the two men.
Realizing that Miss FoX's condition
would not permit questioning, the po-
lice focused their attention on her
companion.
Miss Dalton told the following
story:
Miss Fox and l were standing on
Broad street, Newark, when touring
car drove up. In the car were short,
dark man wearing q fedora hat and
tall, light man with n cap. They
invited us to take a ride, and after
riding about the city for half an hour
we informed the men that we had to
be home by 10 o'clock.
THE tall man was driving the car
and / took a seat beside him. Miss
Fox and the short man sat in the
rear. When we repeated that We had
to be home at 10 o'clock the men said
we were in Rutherford and that they
would turn back to Newark
shortly after this, the car stopped
in front of a garage and the men ask
ed the garage man for water We
were suspicious then and I asked the
garage man where we were.
THE tall man said, TELL them We
are in Rutherford" and that was the
information the man gave us. After
driving few minutes longer, We
sighted large yellow bus. and when
we saw sign bearing the name
Westwood. we knew they had b,tn
lying to U.S."
I'm the meantime l had gone into
the back seat with Miss Fox and the
short man then got in front with the
driver. We had made up our minds
that the men had no intention OF TAX
ing as home. We decided to leave
them and we both got out on the rum
ming board while the car was in mo-
ton and going very fast. When the
men saw what we were doing one OF
them turned around and said: you
can't scare us by trying a bluff Of
that kind
Both of us jumped. That is the
last l remember until got to the hos
pital."
Miss Dalton inferred from the mems
conversation that they were engaged
In the furniture business.

the mound is TO be at home soon
after the spring term and without
doubt would be available. Henry
Heselton. this years catcher at Am
herst college. might be relied upon
for back stop. John Cusick, anoth-
er old Bates star, although Neter-
an, has his arm in condition and
with him and may also grace the
pitching staff.
To Call Meeting
Within a few weeks a meeting of
rlerested citizens will be called for
th1 purpose of selecting q r19nager
who will begin at once drafting his
mon. 1t is thougrt that an out n
town man who has an eye out for
picking winning material will be
aired for this job. Several well
known former stars have been sug-
ge sted but no one has as yet been
definitely decided upon.
One matter that is giving the fans
cause for anxiety is that of Il suitable
park Quimby field. the city's only
playground for several years, has
been in rather poor condition and
the fact that it is situated so far
away from the trolley lines and State
highway makes it evident that an
other spot will be chosen.
The Driving club has splendid
race track and field at Merrill's Cor
ner about two miles from the city.
1t is on the car line and readily aC-
cessiblc to automobile. 1t is thought
that grahd stand may be built
there and an excellent diamond cs-
tablishcd, as it would be an ideal To-
cation.
Fans were much disappointed last
year at not having local baseball.
Augusta had a fast team with Ben
Houser as their leader and produced
some great exhibitions.
Probably one-half of the Gardiner
crs, semi professional and quite cap
able Of making such teams rs Angus
ia, the Packards of Lewiston. San
ford. Portland and Norway go some.
The necessary finances to take care
of the expenses OF the team must
come chiefly from individual sub
scciptions, although the Driving
club it is understood has a certain
amount already on hand for starter
that is available. To give Gardiner
the kind of Il team tnat the fans
want would require at least S1,0N
q month. Part of this, of course
would naturally be taken care of by
the gate receipts.
The promoters OF the scheme arc
very optimistic over the outlook and
it is safe to say that Gardiner is GER
tain to be represented on the dio-
mond this summer by a classy win
ming team.
