Eighty per cent Of the foodstufs of
the nation are produced in the Miss
issippi Valley states. Practically
fifty per cent of the agricultural
products of the nation are produced
in the states of Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan, Illinois and states west and
north, which are affected by not hav-
ing proper water transportation out
let. Seventy-five per cent of the
wheat and siXty-five per cent of the
corn grown in the United States is
raised in this same territory. The
price the farmer receives for his,
product is based upon the price of
the commodity where the currents of
the surplus of the various countries
meet, less the transportation and
handling charges. Hence the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation is in
terested in any project that shows
possibilities Of increasing the chances
for better farming conditions.

Claims Settled.

At stated intervals since the as
sembling of the First Pan American
Conference in 1889, additional confer
ences have been held, each Of which
has contributed its share toward
bringing about closer relations be-
tween the different sections OF the
Continent. Through a series of trea-
ties and conventions agreed upon at
these conferences, it has been posi-
bic to reach an orderly solution Of
problems which might otherwise have
become the subject of international
differences. Thus such questions as
the settlement Of pecuniary claims;
the formation and codifcation of in
ternational law; the control OF in
fectious and contagious diseases and
many other matters have ben COW
cred by conventions through which
an early procedure is established for
their solution.
These general Pan American Con-
ferences have been supplemented by
series Of specialized conferences
which have also contributed their due
share toward developing Pan Amer
lean cooperation.
Soon after the outbreak of the
European War, the Secretary Of the
Treasury called a conference of the
Ministers of Finance Of the American
Republics to consider the financial
situation which had arisen by reason
of the war in Europe. This confer
ence met in Washington in 1915, and
led to the formation Of a permanent
organization known as the Inter
American High Commission, designed
to foster closer cooperation between
the different sections of the Cont
nent. This Commission is made up Of
national section organized in each
country, presided over by the Minis
ter Of Finance, and composed Of nine
eminent fnanciers and jurists. At
the close of the war, the second Of
these international conferences met
at Washington to consider the fnan-
cial situation in which the American
Republics found themselves by reason
of new conditions created by the
termination of the war. This second
conference entrusted to this perma-
nent organization-the Inter-Amer-
uIO,l, ho I,
duty of fostering closer financial and
commercial ties, and this work is
now being carried forward with most
gratifying results.
The First Pan American Scientific
Congress, which was held at Santiago,
Chile, in 1908, was further factor in
establishing closer cultural ties be-
tween the Republics Of America.
Prior to 1908, these congresses were
Latin American rather than Pan
American in character, and the inclu-
sion Of the United States was intend
ed as a demonstration of the com
munity of intellectual and cultural
purposes of the nations of America.
At the Santiago Congress, of 1908,
eminent representatives of science
and letters of every American country
met for interchange Of views, and de-
veloped plans for closer intellectual
cooperation. The second Of these
Scientific Congresses was held at
Washington in 1916, and the third
will assemble at Lima, Peru. in July,

U. S. TELEPHONE NATION

In the annual report of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Company,
President II. b. Thayer says, As years
after the invention of the telephone
Europe has only one telephone to each
100 of the population, while the United
States, with only one-sixteenth of the
population of the world, has two thirds
of the world 5 telephones.
In American communities, the tele-
phone has come to occupy position
that is regarded as essential. With
out telephone in its home, or nearby
in another home or a store, the aver.
age American family in cities and
towns would feel lost. The telephone
is needed to call the doctor, the am.
bulance, the police or the fire depart.

AMERICAN PRIDE IN SHIPPING

What American does not read with thrills of pride of
the days when clipper ships carried
the ends of the world?
What American would not be proud today if Ameri-
merchant marine included modern ships under flag

Can hope for prosperity for farmers and
manufacturers unless maintain American shipping to
carry surplus to market?
Representative Robertson of Oklahoma is only woman,
from andlocked interior state without harbor but she

PROTECTION, NATIONAL POLICY

Richmond, Ind.) Item: The ques-
tion for protection for American farm
products should not be a party issue
al Washington. That farm products
do feel the effect of foreign compe-
tition, everybody knows.
IT is true that in time of short
harvests abroad, our grains can be and
are exported. But Canadian dairy pro-
ducts, Canadian potatoes, even eggs
from China have been imported, from
time to time.
In some cases these importations
have forced down even the low Ameri-
can prices of farm products in this
land within the past IL months. SO,
if we are to have protection at all,
as II national policy, why not on our
farm products?
In the name of common sense, what
logic can defend any other policy9 Why
should senators ask that we protect
manufactured goods but not what our
farmers have to sell9
Surely the FARMS are as necessary to
this country as our factories are. Why
treat one any different from the other

haven't been bit bad, Susie, so your
mother is keeping you home.'

she doesn't want me to give them to

Chapter X Continued

Garrick hardly needed to be told
He had seen it once before, the radio
| telephone transmitter which con
sisted of a cabinet closed in by iron
grill work to prevent damage to the
delicate vacuum tubes, five of them
for the normal operation. AT the ex-
treme end of long operating desk
or table was the transmitter. On the
table were ordinary telephone instru-
ments, radio apparatus, receiving set
with amplifiers, telephone head sets
and loud speaking device by which
the operators could hear the speech OF
music rendered downstairs, only here
actuated by the long distance receiving
set.
"Now, here's the phonetron-the

pointed out the attendant, who had
been looking at his watch and schedule
to determine when would be the best
time to broadcast the alarm Garric!l
had impressed on his mind.

little hole in a cylinder dangling from
an adjustable stand in front of him.

The attendant nodded to Garricl
that in his opinion he was no novice
