Washington, Feb. 15-Mak
Uncle Sans dollar worth on
hundred good old-time American
cents, create a market for farm
products and the law of suppl
and demand, long askeW, will
again become workable and agrf
culture will find a firm founda
tion.
That program forms the best
solution of the agrarian ills ol
the country If the consensus ol
farmers views counts for any
thing.
Farmers throughout the Unit
ed States are talking of bursting
surpluses and products. The ex-
cess in food stuffs held, however,
is due to the fact that there is
no market demand, officials at
the United States Department of
Agriculture asserted today.
There is no real over produc-
tion. The trouble is that there is
under consumption, they say.
Claim is made by them that there
is not enough food in the world
today to provide for normal con-
sumption.
In the fifty years following the
C1val War, according to best sta
tistics available, the United States
farmer increased cotton produc-
tion five times, wheat production
-FOUR times and corn three times.
This increase happened while the
population of the country only in
creased two and three -fourths
times.
No WONDER" says DR.. e. d. |
Ball, director of scientific work
OF the Agricultural compartment,
that when the Secretary of Agri-
culture states that the United
States produced twenty-five per
cent of the wheat, sixty per cent
of the cotton and seventy per
cent of the corn of the world,
With only one-sixth of it's popu-
alton, the nation should feel it
vas on a firm foundation and it's
,uture prosperity assured.
The peak of agriculture pro-
luct1on per capita of population
vas passed in 1898. Agricultural
production almost kept pace with
population increase for some time
.fter that date, but in the last
-ecade it has steadily and ever
lore rapidly fallen.
Probably this can be more
shown by the definite
tatement that the cotton produc-
ion has fallen la a decade from
100000 bales to less than l2,-
10000 bales. Corn production
cached its peak a decade ago and
as remained practically sta
onary ever since. The 1920
verage was 104,0O0,000 bushels. ,
le same as 1t was in 1910. Wheat c.
reduction no doubt would be 4
zen worse if it had not been for "
lie fact remarkable advance In
Ie selling price of this cash crop. 4
The combination, however,
lly forced it up temporarily, Il
Id 1t has dropped back almost y
pre-war average"

ResIlIfs

Science has at last shown how we some
times grow weak, thin, and emaciated
on an abundance of food (lacking in
vitamines) while with a much smaller
amount of food, rich in vitamines, we
may quickly take on good firm flesh,
Increase in weight, and make remark
able gain in strength, energy and en-
durance, provided your blood contains
uficient quantity of oxygenated Or
ganic iron to enable your body to as
similate your food properly.
without organic iron both food and Vi
tamines are absolutely useless as your
body cannot change lifeless inert food
natter into living cells and tissue unless
YOU have plenty of organic iron in your
blood.
For centuries scientists tried in vain to
make organic iron. AT last the problem
was solved SO that you may now obtain
pure organic iron like the iron in your
blood from any druggist under the name
of "Nuxated Iron"

New Motor Will Run
. 3O0Miles on Sc Worth
OfFuel, Inventor Says

SYRACUSE, N. Y, April Is.
Three hundred miles by an, auto.
mo lie on a gallon of fuel
costing 51-2 cents, is the claim
of II. H. Elmer, treasurer and
general manager Of the Globe
Malleable Iron Steel company,
of It's city, makes for an engine
designed by himself, revealed. to the
directorate of the company at its
annual meeting here. Internation-
ally known engineering experts, in
Guiding Arthur West, chief engineer
of the Bethlehem Steel corporation,
have inspected Mr.. Elmer's engine,
and are said to have pronounced it
hundreds of years ahead of times.
Three full-sized models were test
cd before the directors. One Of the
models, 1-cylinder 3-horsepower en-
CINE, ran continuously for eighteen
hours N IA pints of fuel, the di-
rectOrS stated.
The fuel used isl oil, either min
cral, animal or vegetable. No ig-
milton or carbu"etor is used. One
c. Mr.. Elmer's models has attained
u speed of from $500 to 5000 revo-
1, tons a minute, he claims. The
principle of the discovery is based
on the chemistry of oil, according to
Mr.. Elmer.
A committee. to arrange for the
immediate development of the en-
CINE was appointed by the company
directors today.

DUBLIN, April 2S.-Major Cen

Balinalee," commanding free state
troops at Mullingar, today had clear
ed the last rebel from the battle area
where three men were killed and
dozen wounded in fighting yesterday.
The generals ultimatum to the
insurgent troops, holding the county
hall at Hullinger, Ito get out or be
blown OUT was answered promptly
by rebel evacuation last night. Free
state troops followed up their vic
tory and swept the area clear, max
ing a considerable haul of arms and
ammunition.
Another stormy session of dali
cream, Sim Fein's parliament, was
expected today, when charges OF
wanting to be rid of the republic,
hurled at De Valera by Griffith,
were to be answered by the former
president" ~ .s,.
The dali session has developed bit
ter discussion as 70 the nature OF re-
cent Republican attacks. De Valera
ties maintain these have been goss-
ly exaggerated. They suggest, for
instance, that Michael Collins, head
of the free state provisional govern
ment, was not attacked by assassins
Easter Monday, = and that other
rebel attacks have been in the
nature Of horse play. -

A., B. & A. VALUATION
FIXED At S4,000,OO0.

c.. Murphey Gambler as arbitrator
for the state and Reuben r. Arnold
as arbitrator for the Atlanta, BIZ
mingham and Atlantic railroad, have
agreed on a valuation of the road,
for taxing purposes. of $4,000, 900
which is less than the value at
which it was returned. last year bus
more than thetvalue at which 1t was
returned this year. Announcement
of the award by the arbitrator was
made Friday.
Last year the road was returned
at valuation of $6,O9s,17S, of which
ST ,470 ,00e represented the sssroad's
franchise and the balance represent
ed physical property. This year-the
road returned a valuation of 1924
Comptroller General Wright,
to whom public service corporations
make their tax returns, refused to
accept that return and assessed the
road at last years valuation. The
road then exercised it's right under
the law to an arbitration, appoint
ing Mr.. Arnold as its representative.
Comptroller General Wright appoint
ed Chairman Gambler, of the rail-
road commission, as the states rep
resentatiye.
In their award of $4,000, 900 as the
value of the read fer taxing pur-
poses, they value the franchise at
s25 900 and the physical property at
$3,975 900. This is the same value
as the road placed on it's franchise
in it's return, but is a higher Valu-
alton than it placed on it's physical
property.
Chairman Gambler in statement
to COMPTROLLER General Wright,
which he asked to be made a part of
the record, gives his reasons for
agreeing to franchise valuation
of S25 900. He calls attention to the
fact that the road is in default OF
bond interest, in default of state
taxes for last year, is in the hands
of a receiver appointed. by the led
eral court, and sustained an operat-
ing loss last year of $1,248,172. and
heavy losses in the three preceding
years. He declares it would be i'm
possible, in his opinion, to sell 1.-THE
road as a going concern, and If sold
for junk it's physical property would
not bring intrinsic value.
For the road to be sold for junk,
to be dismantled, would be a state
calamity, Chairman Gambler de-
clares. Therefore he is convinced
that public policy demands that
some degree of leniency in tax as
sessments be allowed" He particu-
larlv embassies, however, that he
did not sign the award with any
idea that it should be used as d
precedent AS to this or any other

Johnson, Republican, South Dakota
johnson spoke with reference 10
insistent rumors of the duplication
and circulation of between $250,000,.
900 and $400,000,000 worth of gov
eminent bonds. On the floor of the
house he had charged that hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth"
of such bonds had been duplicated.
"Within a few weeks this matter
will be the overshadowing piece OF
news in Washington, Johnson told
the United Press.
This statement was made in the
face of the repeated denials of See
rotary of the Treasury Mellon of re-
ports of duplication of gigantic pro
portions.
Johnson today reiterated to the
United Press his charges of dupt-
cations and said that he had placed
the facts, as he found them, before
the department of justice.
Attorney General Daugherty, who
accompanied President Harding on
the trip to Point Pleasant, o., was
due back here today and may issue
a statement in reply to Johnson,
either denying or affirming that he
had evidence of the alleged duplica-
tons. 1t was recalled that repre-

took part in the inventory recently
made at the bureau of printing and
engraving following dismissal of

RUSS ULT||NATUM
FINISHED BY ALLIES

GENOA, April 27.-By the Asso-
ciated Press).- The representatives
Of the big and little ententes and
Portugal expected to have before
them in final form today the state
ment to be presented to the Russian
delegates in answer to their counter
propositions for the. economic re-
storation of Russia which the allies
found unacceptable.
This statement is being drawn
up primarily to satisfy England,
France and Belgium, who are the
heaviest creditors of Russia. In
THEN answer to the allies, the Rus
slams appear to have made no ref
erence whatever to the war debts
which the allies said they were ready
to scale down."
In the English text the allies
proposals, the phrasing was:
I'm view of the serious economic
conditions in Russia, the creditor
governments are prepared to write
down the war debts owing by Rus
STA to them"
The Russians apparently inter-
preted the words write down TO
mean write off''-in other words
complete cancellation. They, there
fore, ignored the war debts in their
rejoinder. What the attitude of the
powers will be on this question has
not been made clear.
Meanwhile the conference has de-
veloped plainly into one of the most
important polit'eo' world conc.aves
in history by reason Of the momen.

A further note of gravity was
added to the situation BY rhine Min

ing that a new political crisis was
facing Europe.
Prime Minister Lloyd George to-

Jasper, of Belgium, to meet him at
the Villa de Albertis to reach an un-

be addressed to the Russians in re-

This document will contain not
only what is asked of the Russians
but also what the allies are ready to
offer them.
The subcommission on Russian af-

document and approve it in its
