THE WAY OUT
FOR FARMERS.

In his speech at Hutchinson,
Kan, President Harding pre-
dicted great gains to American
agriculture from tho interme-
date farm credit legislation re-
Gently enacted, but not yet OPP
erative.
Better rural credits are, OF
course, imperative. But they
are only part of the farmers
problem.
It is necessary for all to Dor
row at times. Agriculture can
flourish, however, only when as
sured Of ability to repay, with
enough left over to give a fair
return for service rendered.
The farmers difficulty today
is that he gets too little, while
the consumer pays too much.
b. F. Yoakum, experienced rail
road man, recently cited in proof
of this a shipment of Southern
watermelons. Only 6 cents of
the consumers $1.24 per melon
reached the grower. The carrier
took Is cents and a dollar went
to middlemen.
He also traced a ton of cab
bages. The farmer got 81.
Icing and hauling cost S26.
Middlemen took $98. OF the
consumers $140 the producer
received only a twentieth.
Always the spread between
farm and table gets the lions
share.
Senator Brookhart wrote in a
recent issue of the Sunday
American
About 100000 Of our
people are farmers. They
have a capital investment in
agriculture of about $4,000
100000. But these farmers
have no power to charge the
cost of production for their
products; they can add in no
profits and they toll without
the assurance Of any wage.
Their prices are fixed by
other agencies in which they
have no voice.
Forty-five millions Americans
with eighty billions of invest
ments need not remain thus
at the mercy Of other agen-
cies. They are quite able to
create agencies of their own.
On a large scale in fruit grow
ing in California, in tobacco
growing in Kentucky and in
other fields, cooperative mar
keting has proved profitable to
American producers and accep-
table to consumers.
The political obstacles to CO.
operative marketing in America
are being removed. Few will
long resist concerted pressure
from 100000 farmers, with
their several milton votes.
Other difficulties in the devel.
opment of this method of eco
nomic relief can be located and
conquered through experience.
After all, the best help is self
help.

With each team scheduled to play
only four more games. high school

tilities, at Central Coliseum In their
annual championship series. and the
FIRST clash of the home stretch drive
Is expected to eliminate one Of the
prominent contenders from the title
race. Business and Western, now
deadlocked for second place, with
two wins and as many losses each,
will be opponents. The victor prob
ably will be the quint to fight 1t out
with Eastern for first place at the
finish.
Eastern is to face Central In the
second game tomorrow afternoon and,
even though tho former should suffer
Its first defeat OF the series, 1t still
would be well entrenched In the
leading position. Each of the teams
playing tomorrow has met its sched-
uled opponent twice before, and
each has scored a win. Those credit
ed to Western and Central. however.
were invalidated when the series was
started anew.

and cheap, but it has no equal for
prompt results. 1t takes right hold
of a cough and gives immediate
relief, usually stopping an ordinary
cough in "a hours or less.
Get zi4 ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into a pint bottle
and add plain granuIated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. If you
prefer, use clarified molasses, honey
or corn syrup, instead of sugar
syrup. Either way, it tastes good,
keeps perfectly and Lasts a family
a long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly
it acts, penetrating through every
air passage of the throat and lungs
-loosens and raises the phIegm,
soothes and heals the membranes,
and gradually but surely the annoy
ing throat tickle and dreaded cough
disappear entirely. Nothing better
for bronchitis, spasmOdic Group,
hOarseness or bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a special and highly COM
centrated compound OF genuine

world over for its healing effect on
membranes.
