believed that we would be able to main

canoe. Kansas always has been quick TO
seek 4 political panacea for economic and
agricultural Ills. The State was strong
for greenk ackism, strong for Populism,
and followed T. r. when he became Bull
Mooser. 1t never has failed to win a
third-party movement when hard times
came and a third party offered a cure.
But not this time. During the black
period of depression last year, when grain
and cattle prices were falling and the
future looked black, the Nonpartisan
League made a determined effort to cap
ture and organize Kansas. The essay
failed. The farmers attended the meet
ings and heard the propaganda, but were
not allured. Whether the arguments were
not good or the period of depression too
short is not for restless analyst to de-
termine; he can report only the fact
Instead OF seeking d political cure, there
is some evidence the farmers are taking
an interest In tax reduction and reforms
Of the business administration of State
governments.
WHEN TELLER
NEEDS FRIEND.
We heard of farmers in Nebraska who
were so poor when times were bad last
autumn if they had blow out" when
driving a big car they were unable tenn
porarily to pay $40 or $50 for new tire.
1t was conceded these were exceptional
cases, and no instance has been discov-
cred where any farmer, no matter how
hard hit. even thought Of giving up his
automobile. 1t seems fairly to be well
established the farmer in this rich Mid
Western country now looks upon his
motor car as an essential part Of his
household equipment and one Of the last
/ things to be given up in any emergency
that requires a drastic reduction in his
scale of living The family car is taken
for granted, with the family sewing ma
chine as a household necessity.
/ Kansas roughly divides into two parts.
The western half is a cattle raising coun-
try and has its special problems, which
may be reported later with more under
standing after one penetrates deeper into
the cattle country. This section Of the
State does not show the same degree
of recovery as the eastern half, which
produces hogs. corn and other grains
Missouri has a more diversified farming
than Wansas, and its recovery is com
parable with this eastern end Of Kansas
The factor chiefly to be taken into ac-
count is the new frame OF mind of the
farmer. Every one this country bears
witness he is q conservative fellow and
does not betray any jubilation, even at
the best of times, but he permits him
self to smile these days as a relief from
the state OF depression and black slough
OF dependency he was in when the new
year began.-Copyright 1922, By PGblic

In conclusion, Mr.. Keynes argues our
case as follows:
Very few persons, think have ap-
preciated how large sum is due to the
United States under the strict letter Of
the agreement, since France has already
received almost two thirds Of her share
as above, while Belgium has had about
one-third. Great Britain less than one
third and the United States nothing, It
follows that, even on the most favorable
hypothesis as to Germanys impending
payments, comparatively small sums are
strictly due to France in the near future. "
