law permitting cooperative
marketing by farmers. The
farmers owe that to him-he
forced it through.
Gentlemen Of Chicago dealing
in farm produce will send out
broadcast to farmers, every half
hour, information as to farm
prices by wireless-a miraculous
development Of science.
Later-much later probably
THE FARMERS will send out
to dealers information as to
what farm products will cost.
Prices, some day, will be fixed
by the man that produces and
knows what production has cost
him.
1t costs too much to do busi-
ness, which means TO DIS
TRIBUTE PRODUCTS, in this
country. Mr.. Hinman gives
you the figures. Ten billions.
Billions worth of goods were
traced. It cost three billions to
haul the goods. That went to
railroads, track men, commits
sion merchants, etc. Wholesale
jobbers got two billions and
the retailing cost was five bill
lions.
Therefore, the public paid
TWENTY billions for goods
that the producers sold for
TEN billions. 1t is not all
"profiteering" by any means.
Much of it is bad management.
Eighty per cent Of the waste is
part of the system. We have
solved the problems Of produc-
tion with modern machinery
and farm tools. But of distri-
button we know no more than
the Egyptians--with slave labor
they did it more cheaply.
Scientists of Purdue Univer-
sity prove that more than 75
per cent Of children with tuber-
culosis get the disease from
cattle through the milk-and
this after misleading doctors
had said that cattle could not
communicate the disease to
human beings. II is urged that
tuberculosis be wiped out in
cattle to save children.
While waiting for that, Pas
teurize thoroughly your chill
dren's milk, or boil it if pas
teurizing is too much trouble.
One dose of raw milk may
mean consumption--or other
disease. Nathan Straus has
preached and proved that for
thirty years.

G. P. NJ. Of Los Angeles,
wants information about the
wolf that killed eighty people in
France in the eighteenth CEN
tury, fought the whole population
Of his district, and finally caused
the King to order out forty thou
sand men to hunt him down and
get him.
Have you the information?
Wolves are interesting; the most
interesting of them all is the wolf
that was converted by st Fran
els, gave up a meat diet. and
walked humbly thereafter. The
wiping out of wolves in England
Is an interesting chapter in 70
ology. The King of Wales paid
King Edgar an annual tribute Of
three hundred wolf skins. In Ire
land a law was passed forbid
ding the expectation of wolf dogs,
huge hounds that killed the
wolves. King Athelstan, best Of
the Saxon kings. used to build
towers in which travellers could
climb when the wolves attacked
them. And there was the wolf in
Red Riding Hood that we all
know. and a wolf at the door that
many ex-service men know.

"chiId victimized by Destiny
They Call Him-Petition Too
Late to Reach Harding.

An unusual human document, IN
the form of a petition, signed by
the 445 prisoners in the District
Jail, was sent today to the White
House, urging President Harding
to prevent the execution tomorrow
morning Of John McHenry, youth
ful slayer of Detective Sergeant
James E. Armstrong and Wallace
w. Mulcare.
A Child They Say.
Not all OF the prisoners who signe1
the petition are professional and
hardened. criminals, some OF them
being men who committed minor Of
fenses for which they are serving
short terms. They all have com.
into contact with McHenry before
he was placed in a death cell" and
they feel that his youth and his
child's mind did not realize what he
was doing when he killed"
As President Harding left yester-
day for the South, 1t Is not likely
that the chief executive will receive
it in time to give IT consideration
before the time set for McHenry's
execution:
Here is the text Of the petition:
The undersigned prisoners OF the
District of Columbia Jail in response
to the promptings Of our better
selves and under the influence OF
the abiding sadness OF the occasion.
humbly petition you in behalf OF a
fellow human-being In the travail OF
Impending dissolution.
Recognizing the majesty of the
law and bowling, as we do, TO its
wise mandates which have made
prisoners of us all: and because Qf
our daily contact with him and our
deep regret for the not wholly in
evitable ceremony indicated for the
10th instant. W" beg to petition
you for the life OF John McHenry
now under sentence of death within
twenty-four hours. Knowing that
only from your merciful hands can
such bounty come we make you this
last appeal.
Manhood In Him.
Nenturing not upon the forbidden
ground of the alienist, We are con
yinced nevertheless. that McHenry
is neither average or normal. He
Ia the offspring of an environment
lacking in all the conventions OF
right living. He is the victim oI
surroundings and while he has
sinned he deserves, we make bold
to urge upon you, something les,
than determination. His youth and
his child's mind appeal to us even
as our reluctant eyes turn from the
shameful pathway leading to the
scaffold, where. even now sounds
of preparations are audible, while
the machinery of mans justice is
being put into readiness. For what
there may be left Of good in him we
petition your mercy and ask that
he be permitted to expiate his sins
this side of the grave.
Despite the record. we who have
observed him most believe there Is
yet flickering spark Of manhood
left in him which might be en-
copraged into full flame rather than
be snuffed out forever save for
your intervening and merciful hand
Let the law. we humbly urge upor
you, assume responsibility for a
life only badly begun and deliver

DEATH IS SHOCK
To WASHINGTON
Pastor Of Church Of Covenant
Pays Tribute to Sydney Z
Lloyd Wrightson.

The passing OF Sydney Lloyd
wrightson. one of Washington's
foremost figures in the music world,
comes as a shock and a deep grief
to hundreds of people in the National
Capital. '.'
Remaining at his post OF director
OF the largest church choir In wash
ington. in the Church OF the Cove
nant. Presbyterian, until but a rev
weeks ago, Mr.. Wrightson has been
bravely battling for a return to
health, and his death on Sunday
seems to the outside world to have
taken him from US in the height OF
ms achievement.
1t was Mr.. Wrightson's ideal to
give a great choral rendition, .of
HandeTs Christmas oratorio "The
Messiah" each year. for the city.
This ideal he has faithfully carried
out, with it's most brilliant climax
at last years unforgettable presenta-
ton, when chorus OF $50 voices
were heard and four Of the leading
solo voices OF America.
He was privileged as few OF VS.
are. to give perhaps his greatest
work at that time, delivering, under
his inspirational baton. the great
sacred message of THE Messiah In
the medium that Is deeper than
human speech-music.
Whenever we see deeply, We see

Mr.. wrightson was stepped IN the
traditions Of the English form of
sacred choral music. and he dedi-
Gated his life to this work In his
afternoon double quartet choir, In
the evening choir Of l5o voices, and
In the Washington oratorio Society
OF $50 voices who gave the mighty
chorales Of 1.-THE Messiah" last
Christmas. He swayed these great
choruses rhythmically, impressively
and with reverence. They told the
story !. of the Christ like a single
voice. More than that cannot be
said Of Q leader. o..
UnfaiIing, too, was Mr.. Wrightson
In appreciation. The writer feels
that deeply, for IL was a letter from
Mr.. Wrightson to the Post that
brought the first words Of praise TO
her pen, when she was totally un-
known. SO unfailing In appreciation
and courtesy, minister to the high
message Of sacred music, the in
fluence of Sydney Lloyd Wrightson
will remain alive with US. He has
an ideal that leaves an
influence few lives can offer, 80.
