Little Relief BY
Farm Conference
At WASHINGTON

The national agricultural confer
ence, summoned by President Hard
ing and Secretary Wallace in Wash
ington. considered a host of sugges-
tions for relieving the farming crises,
but without accomplishing anything
which offers tangible assistance. The
325 delegates in attendance included
farmers, re presentatives of agricul-
tural associations, bankers, packers.
implement manufacturers, middlemen
and government officials.
President Harding, in his address
at the opening session, made five
recommendations to improve farm
conditions Provision for greater
working capital for farmers; extern
sion of cooperative marketing asso-
Citations; better dissemination OF sci
entific information; greater develop
ment and use of waterways and
eventual identification of railroads;
measures TO protect farmer and con-
sumer from violent price fluctuations,
and fuller development of natural
resources through increased reclama-
ton. He indulged in a mild slap at
the so called agricultural bloc in con-
gress, a reference much less to the
taste of the gathering than William
j. Bryan's vigorous defense of the
bloc in a speech in which he declared
the farmers were worse off than they
had been in 80 years.

bonded agents in the principal mar
kets in the United States and Canada,
defines the duties of the agents, and
exercises supervision over them. 1t
gathers information through them of
conditions in each market, receives
telegraphic advices of the sales of
each car, and furnishes the informa-
ton every day in bulletin form to the
local associations. The exchange
business is on cash basis; it makes
prompt accounting of returns to the
growers through the district ex-
changes; takes care Of litigation that
arises in connection with the mar
keting of the fruit; handles all
claims; conducts an extensive adver-
tising campaign to increase the de-
mand for citrus fruit; develops new
markets; and performs such other
functions as set forth in the con-
tract between the central exchange
and the district exchanges. The cen
trail exchange levies an assessment
against each district exchange for a
pro rata share of the expense on the
basis Of the number Of boxes shipped.
1t declares no dividends. It does not
buy or sell fruit or any other COM
modify and exercises no control
either directly or indirectly over sale
or purchase. It's function is to pro-
vide facilities for the distribution and
marketing of the fruit for those ship
pers who desire such facilities.
Under the exchange system every
shipper (local association). reserves
the right to regulate and control his
own shipment; to develop his own
brand of fruits; to use his own judg-
ment as to when and in what amount
it shall be shipped. and the price he
is willing to receive: reserving the
right of free competition with all
other shippers, including the mem
bers OF the same district or central
exchange, uncontrolled by anyone.

that the federal trade commission

The Farm Bureau is interested In

at the war level.

The senate spent much OF last
week considering the Capper Vol
stead bill which would amend the
Sherman anti-trust law and give the
farmers the same right to bargain
collectively that is now enjoyed by
corporations. The bill would pro
tect against nullifying interpreta~
tions by those whose interests are
not identical with those of the farm
ers." The agricultural bloc and many
others in the senate are in favor of

against the amendment made by the
senate committee, The amendment
is insisted upon by Senator II. J.
Walsh OF Montana and others. SEN

TOGETHER WE WIN

Together we win! That is the
slogan of the farmer today. Service
Is our motto. BY that / mean that
the Farm Bureau must be so organ
lied that il can render service not
only 10 its membership. but to the
county, state and nation as whole.
THE farm bureau movement. while
still young, has grown very fast. and
in its rapid growth some neglect, no
doubt, is apparent in many of the
states, due to inefficient organiza-
tion and lack OF proper coordination
OF the programs Of work programs
that will render service not only to
the farmer member but to the entire

Sometimes from the viewpoint of
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
tion it becomes apparent 10 us that
too many members join. pay their
dues and then sit down to wonder
what the national organization is do
ing for them. The Farm Bureau is
an organization TO help us help our
selves in an organized way, and the
individual member must feel that he
has a duty TO perform in helping pull
himself out OF this terrible condition
in which agriculture now finds itself.

Is Democratic
The exchange is a democratic or
ganization--the growers exercise con-
troll over all matters. Membership In
the exchange is voluntary; a grower
may Withdraw from an association at
the end of year, an association may
withdraw from a district exchange;
and a district exchange may with
draw from the central exchange;
these relations being set forth in the
various contracts that hold the mem
bers together.
The exchange is organized into
several divisions: sales, legal, traffic,
advertising, insurance and mutual
protection, and supply department
which furnishes the materials used in
the packing houses and on the
ranches. at cost to the members.
The money received by the selling
agents for fruit is deposited by them
in national banks to the credit of the
central exchange, which forwards 1t
to the district exchanges and by
them is distributed to the growers.
The money required for incidental
and organization expenses will be
supplied by the membership fees of
IS or $40. The money required for
building the packing houses and be-
ginning work is usually borrowed
from the banks on association notes
personally Endorsed by the directors.
When the sale of fruit begins a small
amount to the box is held back with
which to gradually pay off the
notes.

OF the growers. They declare no diVi-
dends and accumulate no profits
Each association has brands for each
grade. and when carload is ready
for shipment il is marketed through
the district exchange. of which he
association is a member through the
agents and facilities provided by the
California Fruit Growers Exchange
(the central exchange).
District Exchanges
There are II district exchanges.
These exchanges are corporations
without profits. There may be one
or more district exchanges in the q
community, depending upon the num-
ber of locel associations and other
local conditions. The district ex-
change acts as a clearing house in
marketing the fruit for the local as
sociations through the California
Fruit Growers Exchange and acts as
a medium through which most Of the
business relations between the CEN
trail exchange and the local associa-
tions are handed. The district ex-
change orders cars and sees that they
are placed by the railroad at the war;
ious association packing houses;
keeps records of the cars shipped by
each association, with their destina-
ton; informs itself, through the cen
trail exchange of all phases of citrus
marketing business; places the infor-
nation before the associations; re-
ceives the returns for the fruit
through the central exchange; and
returns the proceeds to the associ-
ations.
The Central Exchange
The Central Exchange is what Is
called the California Fruit Growers
Exchange. 1t is a non profit corpo-
ration. It is formed by II district
exchanges with paidin capital
stock of S1700. 1t is managed by a
board of II directors through a gem
eral manager, one director represent
ing each district exchange. The
function OF the central exchange is
to furnish marketing facilities for the

Tires With 500 Nail
Holes Leak No Air

A new puncture proof inner tube,
which N actual use was punctured
oOo times without showing the loss
OF any air when tested by a tire
gauge, has been invented by Paul
y. Coats, an electrical engineer of
chicago. 1t is inflated with air
and has the same appearance as
the regular inner tube, yet it re-
moves all the necessity of chang
Ing tires until the castings are en-
tirely worn out. Cars using these
tubes are making from 5000 to
10000 miles without removing a
tire from the wheel. A wonderful
feature of this new tube is that it
can be produced and sold at about
the same price as the ordinary
tube. Mr.. Coats has turned over
all rights on his invention to the
Milburn Puncture Proof Tube Co,
S2S W. 9th St. Chicago. who
wants to place these tubes in
few cars here. They will make a
very liberal offer to anyone who
wishes to try them at the COM
pany's risk. until a distributor is
appointed for this territory.-Adv.

REAL WASHINGTON
 INTENSELY HUMAN
BY NO MEANS THE DEMIGoD HE
 HAS BEEN DEPICTED.
Admittedly of Violent Temper, but With Strong Powers of Self-con-
 trol-NaturaIly Melancholy.

The Father of His Country would hardly have fancied himself in the role of a demigod-as folks nowadays are disposed to regard him. He was very human.
 When a young man, his hair was de- cidedly red. At the age of fifty he was quite gray, and on occasions of ceremony his locks (done up in a Queue) were freely powdered. as was the custom of the day.
 His teeth from early manhood gave him q great deal of trouble. They were, In fact, badly decayed-dentistry at that period being an undevelOped art and this circumstance rather marred hls good looks when he smiled or laughed.
 He was also considerably pOck- marked, having suffered an attack of smallpox at nineteen years of age, while in Barbados with his invalid brother. Those were days when most people had smallpox sooner or later, vaccination being as yet unthOught of.
 At fifty-seven (when inaugurated as President in New York;, he had lost nearly all of his teeth. He then wore q false set of hippopotamus ivory, which made him very uncomfortable. In sitting for his most famous DOT trait, painted by Gilbert Stuart, his lips were padded out with wad of cotton.
 He seems to have had little sense of humor, and unquestionably was of . most melancholy temperament. The dinners he gave in New York were described by his guests as dull affairs. As rule, he sat silent, rather sad of visage. and taking little part in the conversation. While others talked, he would keep tap-tapping on the table edge with fork or spoon-a curious habit he had.
 He had a pronounced weakness for gambling-thOugh always held in check by reluctance to commit him self imprudently. A born speculator, he was constantly engaged in land deals. He subscribed to every lottery and raffie that came along, and would spend many hours at stretch with a pack of cards, though usually q loser. Ts attend and bet on horse race, he often went to Annapolis, or even as far us Philadelphia.
 Spelling was by no means his forte. To the end of his life he wrote twin der" for window, ''latten" for Latin etc. Nor is this surprising. inasmuch as his education was finished in a vil- lage school. The style of his penman- ship. so neat and clear, followed the

stereotyped copies of the 'Young Mans Companion" which was the guide of his boyhood.
 At Mount Vernon he had a very de- cen. collection of books. but his read ing seems to have been restricted mainly to works on farming and mili- tary science. How he managed to evolve the classic literary style that marks his public and private writings Is a puzzle not easy to solve.
 The discussion here attempted, how ever Is not of Washington's many per fections. but Of his human weaknesses to show that. like the rest of us, he was far from godlike. This most admirable of men had certainly ter rife temper. He could swear on 0c- casions. with alarming emphasis. A story, we'll authenticated, is that he pitilessly beat an Alexandria butcher with hOrsewhip because the meat merchant had exposed for sale deer that was recognized by the master of Mount Vernon as killed on his own plantation.
 In 1I59. few months after his mar. riage, he wrote: 'I am now, believe, fixed at this seat, with an agreeable partner for life; and l hope to find more happiness in retirement than l have ever experienced amidst the wide and bustling world"
 Note, if you please, that Washington was then only twenty-seven years old. Yet his attitude of mind was elderly. with touch of sadness.
 On his return to Mount Vernon, after the war. he wrote to Lafayette : Il called to mind that I was now de- scending the hill I had been fifty-twO years in climbing. and that, though blessed with good constitution, was of d short-lived family, and might soon expect to be entombed in the man. sion of my fathers. But l will not re- pine. I have had my day"

Washington. as matter of fact. had still fifteen years to live. eight of which were to be spent in administer ing the affairs of the nation ds it's President.
 But he was always a melanchly man. For many years before lis death the prospect of his departure from this world seems to have been constantly in his mind. Whence, presumably, the great interest he took in the removal of the old family burial vault at Mount Vernon, which was being undermined by an underground stream.
