Let us, then, consider some of the farmers grievances, and see how far they are real In doing so, we should remember that, while there have been. and still are, instances of purpoSefui abuse, the subject should not be ap- preached with any eneral imputation to existing distributive agencies of de liberately intentional oppression, but rather with the conception that the marketing of farm products has not been modernized.
 An ancient evil, and persistent ole, Is the undergrading of farm prod ucts, with the result that what the farmers sell as of one quality is re- sold as of higher. That this sort of chlcaneTy should persist on any im- portant scale In these days of busi- ness integrity would seem almost il credible, but there is much evidence that 1t does so persist. Even as write, the newspapers announce the suspension of several firms from the New York Produce Exchange for ex- porting to Germany as No. 2 wheat whole shipload Of grossly inferior wheat mixed with oats, chaff and the like.
 Another evil is that of inaccurate weighing of farm products, which, 1t is charged, is sometimes a matter of dishonest intention and sometimes of protective policy on the part of the local buyer, who fears that he may 'weigh out" more than he weighs ln."
 greater grievance Is that at pres ent the field farmer has little or no control over the time and conditions of marketing his products, with the result that he is often underpaid for his products and usually overcharged for marketing service. The differ ence between what the farmer re- ceives and what the consumer pays often exceeds all possibility of just- ficatiOn. To cite a single illustration. Last year, according to figures attest ed by the railways and the growers, Georgia watermelo lon-r -rasers received on the average 7.5 cents for melon, the railroads got 12.7 cents for ctrry- Ing 1t to Baltimore and the consumer raid one dollar, leaving 798 cents for the service Of marketing ard Its risks, as against POP cents for growing and transporting. The hard annals of farm-iife are replete with such con- mentaries on the crudeness of pres. ent practices.
 Nature prescrlbes that the farmers goods must be finished within two or three months of the year, while financial and storage limitations gen erally compel him to sel! them at the same time. AS rule, other industries are In continuous process of finish ing goods for the markets; they dis tribute as they produce, and they can curtail production without too great Injury to themselves or the commu- nity; but if the farmer restricts his output, it Is with disastrous conse- quences, both to himself and to the community.
 The average farmer Is busy with proluctlon for the mator nart of the

Now that the farmers are stirring, thinking, and uniting as never before to eradicate these inequalities, they are subjected to stern economic lee- lures, and are met with the accusation that they are demanding. and are the recipients of, special privileges. Let US see what privileges the government has conferred on the farmers. Much has been made of Section 6 of the Clayton Antitrust Act, which pur- ported to permit them to combine with immunity, under cartain conditions. Admitting that nominally, this ex- emption was in the nature of a special privilege,-though I think 1t was so In appearance rather than In fact,-we find that the courts have nullified 1t by judicial interpretation. Why should not the farmers be permitted to ae- complish by cooperative methods what other businesses are already doing by cooperation In the form of lncorpora- ton? If It be proper for men to form, by fusion of existing corporatloGs or otherwise, corporation that controls the entire production of a commodity, or a large part of 1t, why Is 1t not proper for a group of farmers to unite for the marketing of their common products. either h one or In several selling agencies? Why should 1t be right for hundred thousand corporate shareholders to direct 25 or 30 or 40 per cent of an industry, and wrong for hnphraH thousand pn-nnpTnfiyH farmers to control no larger propor- ton of the wheat crop, or cotton, or any other product?
 The Department of Agriculture Is often spoken of as a special concession to the farmers, but in its commercial results, it Is of as much benefit to the buyers and consumers of agricultural products as to the producers, or even more I do not suppose that anyone opposes the benefits that the farmers derive from the educational and re- search work of the department, or the help that 1t gives them in working out improved cultural methods and prae- tices, in developing better yielding va. rieties through breeding and selection, In introducing new varieties from re- mote parts of the world and adapting them to our climate and economic con dition, and in devising practical meas ures for the elimination or control or dangerous and destructive animal and plant diseases, insect pests, and the like All these things manlfestly tend to stimulate and enlarge production, and their general beneficial effects are obvious.
 It Is complained that, whereas the law restricts Federal Reserve banks to three months time for commercial paper, the farmer Is allowed six months on his notes. This Is not special privilege, but merely such recognition of business conditions as makes 1t possible for country banks to do business with country people The crop farmer has only one turn over year, while the merchant ana manufacturer have many. Incidental- ly, I note that the Federal Reserve Board has just authorized the Feo- eral Reserve banks to discount export paper for a period of six months, 10 conform to the nature of the Dusi- ness.

MUSLIN FOR GIRLS DRESSES
Unbleaehed Material Splendid for
Play Froess; Various EmbeIlish-
ments Are Available.

The practicability Of unbleached
muslin needs no abb, and Is therefore
easily understandable as a medium for
girls play frocks. This obvious quail
lty-which does not make for hand
sOmeness-Is entirely overcome by the
use OF delightful embellishments, such
as cretOnne applications, wOrsted en-
brOiderles and tinted linen applica-
lions.
One firm showed a group OF these
dresses, which lay their origin to Paul
POiret. The dresses included a num-

old girls, and, like the smaller sizes,

POPULAR POLICE OFFICER

Officer John Dohney, who has for
some years been stationed in the city
council committee rooms and who
knows all of the leading and most
prominent politicians in chicago, was
recently promoted to a police ser
geant. and Officer Dohney wears his
new stripes and new honors with be-
coming modesty.
There is one thing that can be
truthfully said in favor of Officer
Dohney and that is that he never
prowls around the city council COM
mittee rooms with a big chip on his
shoulder looking for trouble and he
always conducts himself like a real
gentleman and that is one reason why
he is extremely popular with all Of
the city fathers and with the big
politicians who frequent the city
council committee rooms.
He continues to receive the con-
ordinations of his many friends over
the new police honors, which have
been conferred upon him.
