UNCLE JOHNS POEM
THE VILE GOSSIPER,

I don't believe in gossip which
can do a neighbor harm. The gos-
siper is hated, in the town, or on the
farm; I never seen a gossip that
commanded any love-peddlin' out
their ISLANDERS, which they know
they couldn't prove.
Fer instance, here's old Hankins,
that don't live fur from me-packs
around a budget that he's learnt
from A to q. Never misses nothin'
that concerns his nearest friends.
Talks about his neighbors with a
zeal that never ends.
People told their views of him,
he'd end out where he's at. They
tell me, If he had means, he would
MT feed his cat. Thinks he is the
lsmoothest stick you ever came
across. Lets on just like he doesn't
know his %gran'dad stole a boss! An
then, he used to gamble like the
devil, I am told. Neighbors catch
him shoOtfn OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
old! Folks could tell a heap OF
facts from them ort to know-Of
how he got his mutton, maybe forty
year ago. OF course know that
gossip amt a very savory dish. But
il have heard that Hawkins used te
l,guzzle like a fish. You minghtnd
think that scandal hung around thai
fel1er's life, but someone a y hi
reilly swiped another feller's wife!
I've heard he wintered in the pen
one time in Tennessee, but. wus: o,
all, he gossips, an this don't lool
good to me.
Neighbors knowed the truth,
'spose they'd string him TO a limb
but I don't peddle gossip, though
I've got no use fer him.
Your own,
UNCLE JOHN.

THE FARMERS
WILL IS LAW.

The demand of the farmers that
capital and labor share alike in the
deflatiOn necessary to bring about a
restoration of normal business CON
ditions is a clear indication that ag-
ricultural 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. Ma
turally, there is a panic in the ranks
of the monied interests when the
farmer earnestly insists that the
railroads must take their share of
liquidation, because the railroads
have been and are insistent on high
er freight rates, and higher passen-
ger rates if they can get them. But
the dominant position of the far
mel is now emphasized. Even labor
runs panic stricken to its old time
enemy and bids the farmer halt. The
suggestion that the railroads share
in further deflation is a direct at
tack on wages, shouts Mr.. Gompers,
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 butcher
the baker and the candlestick ma
ker may fight for theirs, all may or
ganize to press their positions, but
when it comes to an agricultural
bloc then there is a united protest.
Mr.. Gompers, representing labor
ever if he does, as Mr.. Gary of
the Street trust says, represent only
a small part of labor-may as we'll
realize the farmer is the cause Of
things and that II the other wig
Cling 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, and it
will not take the people very long
no realize that what the farmer says
must go, or there will be trouble in
the camp.

NITRATES MUST BE
PRESERVED.

Before the issue is decided there
may be a hot fight in Congress over
the Muscle Shoals plan, but indica-
tons are that Henry Ford will win,
and that the fertilizer trust will not
be able to offset the interest Of the
farmer. Congress is apt to view the
situation in the light of past per-
formances, rather than in the light
OF promises for the future-the past
performances Of Henry Ford and the
past performances of the fertilizer
ring. Belief is that if the Ford plan
is accepted the farmers will get
cheap fertilizer and il the Ford plan
Is rejected the farmers will get cost
" fertilizer. If this conviction pre-
walls public opinion will do the rest
The Secretary Of War, Mr.. Weeks,
has been careful ITO point out that
Ford if offering $4,000, 900 for two
nitrate plants that as scrap are said
to be worth $8,812,OO0, and that if
the Ford plan is accepted Congress
must appropriate approximately
$4,000, 900 of which Ford will have
the benefit for 100 years and 4 per
cent. All of which sounds terrify-
ing now that Hog Island and other
figures are pushed gently in the
background. 1t would be interest
ing to know how many hundreds of
thousands of dollars if not millions
it would cost the government to sell
these nitrate plants as scrap. I'm
Gle Sam conducts an expensive SELL
ing establishment as a rule. Some
n said it used to cost about 500
to buy a bottle of ink for the Ship
ping Board before the order found
its way through all the departments.
The important consideration is not
the cash difference between THE Of
fered price and the price to be OBJ
tanned for the plants as scrap. Scrap
ping Of the plants would be GRIM
inal when they can Ibe developed in
TO almost a national blessing.
For centuries nitrates have been
wasted in the air. We can't afford
now to bury them in the scrap heap.
The people are clamoring for cheap
err fertilizer and THE people are cry
ing for cheaper food.

POOR PRINCETON
MOTOR LOGIC.

The vision of Princeton Univer-
sity seems to have narrowed since
Woodrow Wilson dropped the reins.
President John Grier Hibben now
trying to sound the death knell of
the automobile for college under
graduates. While the professor feels
that no legislative action should be
taken, he would have parents dis
courage the use of the automobile
by their sons. believing that the
value of simplicity in living and
the elimination of unnecessary lux
uries' should be implanted in the
YOU hful mind. 1t is a pretty fall
lacy, but one that will not take root
in the thinking mind. The auto
mobile is not an unnecessary luxury
today. 1t is as much a part OF life
as the safety razor. 1t is a neces-
sity. 1t permits the workman to
live in Gods fresh air instead Of
being housed in the swebtering ten
ements of the cities. 1t gives forty
league boots to the farmer, and pro-
vides recreation to the hardwOrked
farmers wife; it brings the conven-
fences of the towns to the doors OF
the villages, and carries the product
OF the country freshly to the mouths
Of the undernourished child-life oil
the nation. College students cannot
begin too soon to know what the
automobile means ITO civilization, tt
commerce, to health and to life, and
the best way to know the automobile
and to sense it's blessings and it'
dangers is to OWE and operate one
The few days of youthful Joy rid

it Is doubtful II anything is NOR
calculated to bring the harum scar
um youth to his senses quicker thai

should, then the student can hav
no better influence than his profee
sors and his little car. The appre
