The FARMERS, WILL Is Law

The demand Of the farmers that
capital and labor share alike in tho
dehation necessary to bring about
restoration Of normal business
conditions is 9 clear indication that
agricultural awakening is complete
and that never again will tillers Of
the soil be led astray in the bypaths
of abstruse economics. The plain
fact is the farmer has to pay high
prices for the things he has to buy
and he cannot get living prices for
the things he has to sell. There Is
nothing else to the problem. Nat
urally, there is panic in he ranks
of the monied interests when the
farmer earnestly insists that the
railroads must take their share Of
liquidation, because the railroads
have ben and are insistent on higher
freight rates, and higher passenger
rates if they can get them. But
the dominant position of the farm
er is now emphasized. Even labor
runs panic stricken to its old time
enemy and bids the farmer halt. The
suggestion that the railroads share
further deflation is a direct at
tack on wages, shouts Mr.. Comp
ers, and so the whole pack of cards
is disclosed. The sophistry reveals
self interest. Capital may fight for
its money bags, labor may fight for
its interest, the manufacturer, the
wholesaler, the retailer, the butch
er, the baker and the candlestick
maker may fight for theirs, all may
organize to press their positions,
but when it comes to an agrieul-
tural bloc then there is united
protest.
Mr. GOmpers representing labor
even if he does, as Mr. Gary of the
Street trust, says, represent only a
small part of labor-uay as well
realize the farmer is the cause OF
things, and that all the other wig
glinlg elements are purely effects.
The tail cannot wag the dog. The
farmer is natures king because he
is the creator and developer of the
only source of human life. aud il
viii not take the people very long
to realize that what the farmer says
must go, or there will betrouble in
the camp.

Mt. Sterling people, are tos have
the opportunity of hearing Z Mrs.
SalIie Bullock Cave give her reading
Of Tennyson's 'Enoch Arden" OF
the History Club rooms on Wednes-
day, February s. Mrs. Cave, who
is a sister Of the noted surgeon, DIR.
w. O. Bullock, is well known in this
city. Her reading Of 'Enoch Ar
den" is said to be her best, and the
press notices given her are most
fiatteriug. The following from the
Lexington Herald will be Of inter
est:
"The Woman's Club meeting Sat-
urday afternoon was one of the
most beautiful in the history of the
organization. The program consist
ed of the reading of Mrs. Sallie Bull
lock Cave Of the poem, "Enoch Ar
den,' by Tennyson, with the Rich
ard Strauss music played by Miss
Elizabeth 7. Smith at the piano.
at was truly melody drama, the
sentimental Victorian poem beauti-
fully read by Mrs. Cave and the mu-
sic of Miss Smiths exquisite touch
and skill perfecting the artistic
performance. Mr.. Sax head of the
Department of Art at the univer-
sity, lent his genius for color and
effect to the designing of Mrs.
Caves gown and to the directing of
a specially decorated curtain,
painted by Thomas Fennell, a young
art student. The dress was in
! shades of blue from deep turquoise
to midnight blue, with orange and
gold batik scarf, draped oyer the
arms and held by pearl bracelets,
ropes of pearls adjoining the cor
sage and bandeau of roses and
jewels in her hair.
Before the reading Miss Smith
gave an explanatory talk on the
Richard Strauss music to the poem,
the beauty of his Interpretation aud
the motifs. She wore a black robe
to tone in with the picture.
"The curtain made for back
ground and distant blue of the
ocean and the pillars of portico.
The lighting was another detail of
the successful toning and was won
derfully manipulated to make the
scenic effect. Mrs. James Molloy,
of the university, attended to this
scientific lighting.
'Mrs. Caves voice was never
more lovely and sympathetic, SO
controlled as to make each eharac
ter stand out clearly and for its
full value.
"There was very large audience
and the applause and praise ex-
pressed in full measure admiration
and appreciation of the fine talent
and culture of Mrs. Cave and Miss
Smith.
"There was a brief business ses-
sion Mrs. Haley presiding, and Miss
N. Isabel Schmidt, the secretary,
reading the minutes.

Blames Dumping
For Farmers Ills

The vital trouble with agriculture
today is an ancient and unintelligent
system of dumping products which
can be remedied only by discarding
the old methods and adopting the
same principles of merchandising
that all other industries have fol-
lowed for more than two genera
tons, Aaron Sapiro, California
marketing expert, told those attend
ing the tenth annual Farm and
Home Convention at Lexington on
Wednesday.
Farmers of the country have
placed primary attention on produc-
ton, believing it was their function
to spend time, money and labor in
growing products and that some
how, through means which they
could not control or understand, the
products would be carried from the
point of production to the point
Of consumption where they would be
marketed and the proceeds rolled
back to the farmers in accordance
with the high-sounding phrase,
Supply and demand" Mr.. Sapiro
said.
''This attitude did not materially
affect conditions in the old days, but
as production and consumption sep
arated and middle steps were in
jected into the process, all indus
tries, except farm productions, be-
came organized with the result that
the farmer has come to represent
the only disorganized industry in
the United States, although this is
the most important one," the speak
er pointed out
''Under such a system of dump
ing, the farmer breaks the price
against the farmer and the buyers
who sit by and reap the profits of
such blind system console the far
mer by telling him that he is the VIC
tim of supply They forget to tell
him that supply and demand both
have flexible points and the wise
merchant is the one who discovers
this Aexibilty."
Intelligent farmers are now learn
ing to do the same, Mr.. Sapiro said
in showing the trend of marketing
methods. Farmers have learned to
organize on a non-profit basis, with
out speculation of any kind and as
"a result are really merchandising
their products instead of dumping
them, he declared.
"This is the most important de-
veloping in farming for many
years. he said. "The old habit OF
putting labor and attention OF
everything except marketing anC
then losing the value of everything
by a defect in the marketing has
passed.
Gin solving his marketing prob
lem, the farmer also is solving th'
problem of quality production as
well as those connected with the hu-
man and cultural phases of the
farm he concluded.
