Did you get valentine? Perhaps
not. But twenty years ago you would

reminder of what someone thought of

the young people their love stories,
the grownups their jests and tilts.
While the sentimental valentine
can still be found, the comic cne has
disappeared. Twenty years ago mil
lions of the comics passed through
the mails. They were not taken Sc.

frightened the team, which started

and was thrown in front of front

him, had he released his hold on the
lines. While he was dragged in front
of the wheel only about three feet,
several ribs on his right side were

"Hot Shots"

During the cold spells we heard
considerable talk about 'hot shots.
We at first supposed it was some
thing that could be carried in the hip
pocket, which friend would follow
you anywhere for.
But as is often the case. we were
mistaken. Hot shots are used on
lazy cars. It is said a Ford can be
made to turn a handspring. that
would ordinarily stand in the road
on the coolest night.
This reminds us of story we
heard many years agosof an old dar-
key whose balky mule refused 60 pull
the cart up the hill. A doctor came
along, to whom the colored man told
his troubles. The eoc,or gave the
mule hypodermic and 1t went over
the hill like shot. The darkey
watched the mule disappear. then
turning to the doctor. said: Say.
boss, give me a little of that stun so
I can catch dat mule"
The doctors hot shot would not
have helped Ford. but the present
hot shots might help mule. II prop

No one who has been reading the
news columns of the public press for
the last so days can doubt that there
is, tremendous drive organized for
the purpose of convincing the farm
ing interests of the United States
that their prosperity depends upon
European markets.
In view of this drive. it is especially
fortunate that the public has been
given Part One Of the exhaustive re.
port Of the joint congressional COM
mittee on agricultural inquiry.
In discussing the causes Of the de-
cline in prices OF farm products. into
which the report goes exhaustively,
presenting tables which go back to
1890. the following facts are set
forth:
I. The decline in prices OF agrf.
cultural products IN the years 1920
and 1921 was net due to overproduc-
tion. as the crons OF those years were
not relatively greater In proportion
to the population Of the United
States than they had been in many
proceeding years.
2. The period OF decline In prices
of certain dairy products. such as
butter. cheese. etc. coincided with
the period OF the greatest imports of
dairy products.
8, The prices of all kinds of farm
products vary almost in direct ratio
TO the domestic consumption of those
products. Domestic consumption. in
turn. depends almost wholly and d.
rectly upon industrial employment.
This is emphasized al various
places in the report and is clearly
demonstrated by the tables which
the report contains. Speaking OF
the relation Of prices to the domestic
