Nations and municipalities provide
sinking funds against future contin
gencies. Any we'll managed business
builds up reserves In prosperous
times against such period Of strain
as the present. Why, then. should not
we make an effort to provide re-
serve as insurance against shortage
Of the essentials OF life, when such
provision would in a great measure
stabilize the value of the farmers
crops and also would protect the
whole people against the distress
that inevitably would follow any ser
ious shortage in the worlds food pro-
duction?
Much study and considerable time
would be required to put such a plan
into operation. Immediate relief for
our agricultural classes might be
found in better financing - In the
making available of sufficient funds
at reasonable rates. and thus enabl-
ing the farmers to carry on" until
the conditions improve. There are
ample funds in the country seeking
investment and there could be no
safer basis of investment than the
credits of the American farmer.
Immediate financial relief should
not be considered solely as first
aid treatment. II funds were more
readily available in emergencies at
more equitable rates of interest, the
necessity for forced marketing of
crops would disappear and the mar,
keting would be done more system
atically, with a consequent gain in
the average price received.
In some of the older countries
grain crops are not rushed to market
in any such brief period as with us,
but are stacked in sheds or under
cover and are threshed and market
ed throughout the year. With better
storage facilities and financing the
American farmer could, by a similar
process, avoid some of the loss in
CURED by throwing almost the entire
grain crop upon the market within a
short period and thereby depressing
the price.
Let us not deceive ourselves into
thinking that our agricultural prob
lens will be solved if the farmer Is
restored to the relative position he
occupied before the war. The far
mer cannot hope through future
years to obtain in the enhanced val
ue of farm lands the reward for his
heavy toll. This may occur in some
localities, but in the main that con.
dition has passed and the farmer
must now receive a better and more
dependable return for his efforts than
in the past if he or the rest of us are
to enjoy real prosperity in the future.

NEWARK, n. J., April 14-Mrs
Maude Fancher, who swallowed
poison yesterday after Staying her
baby son, Cecil Raymond. hoped TO
guide her husband to happiness as
an emancipated spirit. She is at

The story of her belief in spirit
ualism was told in the three letters
-one of 90 pages written, before she
took the poison, one after the BABY $
death and the third as she was half
conscious herself.
Mr.. Fancher said today that soon
after they married three years ago,
he and his wife attended a seance
and both talked to their dead par
ents. Since that time, he said, Mrs
Fancher had taken q. great interest
in spiritualism. That seance,h ne
said. ''put the whole idea int) her
head. She thought she could do bet
ter for me if she were dead and
would guide me from heaven"
Mrse Fancher's health had been
very poor since the birth OF their son
and she felt. her letters indicated that
her death would relieve her husband
Of a severe handicap.
She took the baby's life because
she could not bear to think of some
one else caring Tor the Doy, She SAID
Dear. my heart is breaking at ieay-

she wrote. But remember you are

about spiritualism and I want you

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE first

the United States has been fired
against liquor pirates The Mehala-
tos, former submarine chaser,
steamed into port tonight to announce
that the first shot was fired last night
when she encountered a supposed
rum runner five miles off the New

shot, but it had the desired effect

speedily in the direction Of the Ba-

mysterious craft for three hours bus
gave up the pursuit with the appear
ance OF rough seas.
The dehalatos, with Capt. Howard
M. Vessels in command ana : re
porter of the New York World
aboard, was on her first voyage as. a
vessel OF the prohibition navy. IT
was dusk when the mystery craft
was sighted. Every light on the
submarine chaser was extinguished.
They drew close and Captain Vessels
hailed the strange boat, receiving the
response that she was bound to
Canada from the Bahamas.
In answer TO the query as to what
they had aboard came the surly re-
ply, "corne over and See," ana the
stranger, a two -nlasted power boat
Of $50 tons, set her engines going and
turned seaward.

Fifty representative men of Arizo-

at dinner at the Hotel Adams last
night and pledged themselves anew,
in addresses and by expressions of
appreciation, to the cause of cooper

In many respects the dinner and
smaller scale, Of the state industrial
conference held here last December,
when 800 leaders in all industries of
Arizona got together to work for
their common good. There was this
difference, however: Last nights
dinner had a statewide organization
smoothly functioning and carrying
out the principles to which allegiance
was pledged, while the industrial
conference. out of which grew the
Industrial congress, had none.
But at the dinner were representa-
tives of every industry of the state,
just as at the industrial conference.
though last night a. majority of
those present were directors and
leaders of the farm bureaus of the
state. It was purely and simply a
get-together affair TO acquaint the
farm leaders with the work of the

NO CHEERS FOR

NEW YORK, April 14.-General
Gregorie Senenoff. Ataman of the
Cossacks, was still in Ludlow street
Jail tonight waiting for $4,000 bail.
Outside, crowding the street. perched
on ratings, leaning from windows,
even sitting on edges of roofs, We're
thousands who waited for him, not
to cheer. but to hiss and "boo" the
leader of the Cossacks.
Most of the thousands who milled
about the jail during the day, knew
the Cossacks. Most of them were
men and women of Russian descent
who lived in the thicl1ly settled dis
tricts of the lower east side. If they
did not know themselves what the
hard riding Cossacks can do, they
had been told by their fathers or
mothers who had fled from Russian
nassacres. They had no love for
Semenoff.
Early in the day police reserves
were called out. They milled with
the throng, ready to avert any pos
sible trouble or to open a passage
way through the crowds when callers
came to the Jail. Once or twice the
reserves went into the tenements
nearby and drove the people from
the roofs.
When the rotund general with his
unmistakable moustaches which flow
over his broad cheeks to points under
his eyes was taken out for exercise.
the angry roar of the crowd drowned
all police orders and there was a
concerted but futile push toward the

[RepubIlean A. p. Leased Wlrel

NEW YORK, April A. There
really was a ghost in Antigonish, Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle declared today.
Then he elaborated on the report
made by psychic research expert
after investigating queer doings at
the home of Alex Mcdonald, in Gale
donia Mills, Antigonish county. Nova
Scotia.
The psychic research expert, Dr.
Walter Franklin Prince, reported that
the disturbances in the Mcdonald
home were caused by Mary Ellen, his
adopted daughter, during altered
states OF consciousness"
Mary Ellen was not the ghost. but
the medium of the ghost which prob
ably was that. Sir Arthur believes, of
some naughty boy whom not even
death could cure OF his mischievous-
ness.
Il was greatly interested in the
Antigonish disturbances" Sir Arthur
added, because it was alInest du-
plicate of the Great Amherst Mys-
terry of some years ago. That, too,
was a Nova Scotia case with mys-
terious fires, etc. Psychic research
case. said it was the work Of some
body in the house.
Il have no doubt at all that the
spiritualistic explanation of the An
tigonish mystery was correct. Mary
Ellen, the medium, threw out some
power which was used by something
malevolent outside her self.
Yes, there are malevolent spirits
on the other side. 'Mischievous'
would be a better word.
But spirits, malevolent or mis-
chievous, are not allowed to do real
harm. The Antigonish house really
did not take fire, did it?
There's a law on the other side
that no spirit shall do harm to a
mortal

is good thing; it takes a rough jolt
to arouse some people to realization
Of things"
