WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. "a
The worlds greatest radio business is
being conducted by the United States
Navy.
Facts and figures given out by naval
officials here show an increased vol.
ume of messages among the depart
ment's radio stations, which they say
surpasses the business Of any other
country or corporation on earth. That
does not exclude the worldwide I'm
perial Radio Chain, which is being
contemplated by Great Britain.
The immensely of the naval radio
service may be imagined from the fact
that the department has moro than
SIS. 900, 900 invested in this undertake
ing. More than 100000 words are
transmitted monthly. Besides it's own
official business. the Navy does $780,
100000 worth Of commercial radio
business annually.
This naval radio business extends to

all parts OF the earth, over land and
sea-and into the air! For each naval
airplane also has a complete trans
hitting and receiving set by which 1t
can communicate with it's ship or land
station or with other airplanes.
Along both our coasts and at points
on our island possessions are naval
radio compass stations which form
chain of safety for ships at sea. There
are more than fifty OF these stations,
all built up within the last three
years.
BY furnishing bearings to ships APP
preaching the coast. these stations
have helped considerably in saving
lives, time and property. 1t is during
foggy weather. or stormy seas, that
vessel seeking port finds the aid of
the naval compass station most bene-
fetal For lying off port until the fog
lifts or the storm calms means an ex-
pense of at least $500 to the ship
owner.
For the fleet. radio is an essential
link. Emergencies, maneuvers and
all sorts Of utility work come under
the direct orders of the naval depart
ment at Washington-by means of
radio. There are some $50 naval ship
stations. 102 naval airplane stations
and $50 shore stations-all of which
are joined together by radio. These
stations are all over the globe. on
possessions of the United States and at
various points in the open sea.
Powerful stations they are, too. The
station at the Preside, near San
Francisco. is one of. the finest in the
world. The first high-power continuous
wave station was built by the u. 8.
Navy in the Canal Zone in 1914. Dur

CHICAGO, Aug 26.-"The Ameri
can farmer is being crushed by a labor
system that permits part Of the peo-
pie to fix their own wages, while the
agriculturist's reward is fixed by COM
petitive conditions"
This is the opinion of James A.
Patten, multimillionaire wheat king
of Chicago, given in an interview in
which he discussed the fact that the
Mariners dollar has shrunk to II per
cent OF it's former value. The drop
is due to the decreased price of farm
commodities as compared to what he
buys.
Patten for years has been a keen
student OF agricultural conditions and
his views are accepted as authorita-
tive by students of the subject.
II am asked where the farmer is
headed for and what solution there is
for his present situation" Patten said.
I'm reply I answer, the farmer is
not headed apywhere-he has already
arrived. His trouble is fundamental,
and it cannot be cured by local appli-
cations.
Wages Reduced
Crops represent the wages Of the
farmer. He gets so many bushels of
wheat for his years labor. The ex-
change value Of the wheat measured
in terms Of the products of other la
Dor represents the farmers reward.
IF his products will now exchange
for only II per cent Of what they ex-
changed for in 1913. as shown oy Gov
eminent reports. then his wages have
been reduced by that much.
when economic factors have free
play the reward for one form OF labor
when measured in the products of an.
other form OF labor will bear an
equitable relation to the amount Of
human effort involved in each produc-
ton.
1.-THE fundamental difficulty now is
that the price Of the farmers prod
ucts is fixed by free competition. In

you can't be healthy.
To maintain clear, healthy com
plexion it is necessary to eliminate

Wastes are not eliminated promptly
because the right food is not eaten.
Elimination cannot go on thoroughly
unless the intestines are kept filled

residue in the intestinal tube after
digestion has done it's part.
Concentrated food leaves littla or

Every farmer knows that his live
stock, in winter, needs to be fed what
he calls roughage. That is, straw. 1t
fills UP the stomach and the intestinal
tube. This filling-up is necessary for
animals; it is equally necessary for
human beings.
The reason for sluggish elimina
ton is the eating of food that is too
highly concentrated and leaves little
or no residue.
foods are now produced are largely to
blame.
Such concentrated foods as sugars,
starches, fats, fruit juices and all

They are almost wholly absorbed

BIZ United Netos


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.-The
possibility Of a new and independent
POLITICAL party, to be headed by Sen
ator William E. Borah, Is causing
wide interest throughout the West.
The report was given definite form
by news from Nampa, Idaho, that the
idaho Progressive Uarty," generally
regarded as Borah's personal political
machine. has launched a boom for
"Borah for President" on an indie
pendent ticket in 1924.
BOrah Causes Split
At the same time the Idaho Re-
publican State convention, meeting
at Wallace, rejected a direct primary
plank advocated by Borah, by vote
Of III to 81 and took a stand advo-
eating the Fordney- McCumber tariff
in the face Of Borah's opposing vote
IN the Senate. The Idaho Progress
i've Party" Endorsed the direct pri-
mary system.
While in the past Borah has always
had Idaho in his vest pocket. his
stand on the traiff, especially his vote
against Schedule II" on wool. has
aroused wide opposition and caused a
split IN the Republican ranks.
Idaho Republicans are strongly
supporting the wool tariff because
Idaho Is a sheep raising State. The
cattle interests are also said to resent
Borah's vote against the bill.
Borah does OF come up for re-
election until 1924.

Q-What is the story of the Lao
coon group Of statuary?
A-According to the classic legend,
LAGOON. a brother of Anchises, priest
of Apollo in Troy, vainly warned his
countrymen against receiving within
their walls the wooden horse, then
two serpents came swimming from
Tenedos. attacked the two sons Of
LAGOON, and, when the father came
10 their help, destroyed him also. The
famous group was discovered in 1906
at Rome, in the Settle Sale. on the
site of the Esquiline Hill, and pur-
chased by Pope julius II for the Vati-
can. The whole treatment Of the
subject, the anatomical accuracy Of
the figures and the representation
both Of bodily pain and Of passion,
have secured for the group a higher
place than it properly merits. In
spite of its wonderful execution this
group is not an example of the best
Greek work, but belongs to a period
of low artistic ideals.
