The comparison of wages for some of

tain a detached and judicial viewpoint,
remembering that existing wrongs may
be chiefly an accident Of unsymmetri-
cal economic growth instead of crea
tion of malevolent design and conspira-
cy. We Americans are prone, as Pro
fessor David Friday well says in his
admirable book, profits, Wages and
Prices" to seek a criminal intent be-
hind every difficult and undesirable eco
nomic situation" can positively as
sert from my contact with men OF
large affairs, including bankers, that,
as a whole, they are endeavOring to
fulfill as they see them the obligations
that go with their power Preoccupied
with the grave problems and heavy
tasks Of their own immediate affairs,
they have not turned their thoughtful
personal attention or their construc-
tive abilities to the deficiencies of agri-
cultural business organization. Agri-
culture, it may be said, suffers from
their preoccupaticn and neglect rather
than from any purposeful exploitation
by them. They ought,nOw to begin to
respond to the farmers difficulties,
which they must realize are their own
On the other band, my contarts with
the farmers have filed me With respect
for them-for their sanity their na-
tience. their balance Within the ias3
year. and particularly At meeting
called by the Kansas state Board oi
Agriculture and at another called By
the Committee OF Seventeen. I have
met many Of lie leaders Of the ne>-
farm movement, and I testify in all
sincerity that they are endeayoring to
deal with their problems, not as pro
moters Of a narrow class interest, not
as exploiters of the hapless consumer,
not as merciless monopOlists, but as
honest ment bent on the Improvement
Of the common veal.
We can and must meet such men
and such a cause half way. Their
business is our business-the nations
business.
Vernon Parish Democrat., 1922-02-09

In view of the supreme Importance
10 the national well-being of a pros
porous and contented agricultural pop
ulatIon, we should be prepared to go
long way in assisting the farmers to
get an equitable share Of the wealth
they produce, through the Inaugural
tlon Of reforms that will procure a
continuous and increasing stream of
farm products. They are far from get
ting fair share now. Considering
his capital and the long hours of labor
put in by the average farmer and his
family, he is remuperated less than
any other Occupational class, with the
possible exception Of teachers, reli-
giOus and lay. Though we know that
the present general distress of the
farmers Is exceptional and is linked
with the Inevitable economic readjust-
ment following the war, it must be
remembered that, although represent
ing One-third of the industrial product
and half the total population Of the
nation, the rural communities ordl-
narily enjoy but fifth to a quarter of
the net annual national gain. Nottyth-
standing the taste of prosperity that
the farmers had during the war, there
Is today a lower standard Of living
among the cotton farmers of the South
than in any other pursuit in the country.
In conclusion, 1t seems to me that the
farmers are chiefly striving for a gen
orally beneficial integration of their
business, Of the same kind and charac-
ter that other business enjoys. If 1t
should be found on examination that
the attainment Of this end requires
methods different from these which
other activities have followed for the
same purpose should we not sympa-
thetically consider the plea for the
right to cooperate, If only from our
own enlightened self interest, in OBJ
tanning an abundant and steady hoW Of
farm products?
In examining the agricultural situa-
tion with a view to its Improvement,
We shall be most helpful II we mais.

THE METHODIST CHURCH

There will be Sunday School at o.
As am, with W. c. Cudd Supt. Good
teachers and rooms Tor all ages.
Come" Sermon at II am. and at
=: IS pm. Also a fine Epworth League
program for the devotional meeting at
g: IS to be rendered by the young peo-
pie of the church.
Do you like to ride in car, or drive
one, when it has to limp along on two
cylinders2 1t isn't any more fun try
ing to run church with half the mem
bers absent from the regular services.
1t will not do for one spark plug to
say: The rest Of them are working.
They won't miss me if | loaf for
time" Neither will it do for any mem
Der of the church to say: "They will
not miss me if stay at home and sleep
or read the papers. The first cripples
the car. The second crippIes the
Church. and the third kills it.
You all know what happens to a
spark plug that is idle, don't you?
1t just gets all covered over with car
bon until after while it can't make
a spark at all. IF you are the thought
less, stay-at-home, sleeping one, your
soul will get all covered over with the
carbon of this world.
We are planning for our revival
during the month of June, with Rev.
Dan. E. Kelly. Evangelist, in charge.
All right then, let's get into good run
ming order-in other words, let's get
our Church tuned up" so that every
cylinder will be on the go.
Now, the way to do this, is for ev-
cry one of us to get out to Church and
Sunday School every Sunday and help
liven things up. There is lots of
room for us to speed up bit and not
break the speed laws. Come on, start
IN next Sunday morning and come to
every service. We sure need you al
most as much as you need us. Give
all that you see a friendly invitation
to the "Home-Like Church in Lees

ANAcocO NOTES

In contrast to the schools in the
neighboring towns, the public schools
Of Anacoco are running as smoothly
as well-oiled machine. This is due
to the loyal support Of the intelligent
people Of the vicinity, who have been
giving all the assistance possible to
Prof. Benton.
Superintendent Stanlyt calls our
corps of teachers an accidental one"
because they are what is known as
pickup; and all Anacoco is COM
itself on the fine selection
of so-called "pick-ups."
We hear that Claude Blangton is
about to leave Anacoco and seek 9TH
er fields where his talent will be APP
preciated better. He feels that with
the talent he possesses he can do bet
ter elsewhere.
****
If Mr.. Henry Ford knew that so
many of his machines were on the
highways in and around Anacoco, with
the headlights turned off, | am sure he
would refuse to sell any more of his
cars to the residents of this town. Now
there are some good citizens of Ana
COCO who are contemplating buying a
car this summer.
E%%*
Some of cur citizens are more than
ambitious; look at the plowing that is
going on around our schoolhouse.
Here you. will find good earnest work
men making for the betterment of the
town. Let's have more Of this. We
wish to compliment all parties for their
earnest efforts in this direction.

Monday evening we cleaned off the

off base ball diamond and have had
several games since then. We have
good team. and with a very little

Besides our base ball diamond. we
have a good race track picked out and
intend to start in fixing it up. We may
have few skilled runners, too. Who
