THE WAY OF THE WORLD

If history repeats itself, and it does, then as grandmother
used to say sit will all come out in the wash" Things get better
and prosperity return again to the farms, that is to the farms that
are farmed with skill and by thrifty and sensible farmers.
If you remember back between twenty-five and thirty years
ago you'll recall a time when farms, factories, work and wages
were IN the deepest darkness. Along IN the latter nlnetles things
were simply fierce. The outlook seemed black as night. Nobody
had anything much and those who could get a decent living were
objects of envy. We had neither money nor work. Farm pro-
ducts were at the lowest ebb and farming was an occupation
accursed. Seemed like the end of the world. It followed a period
of pretty fair prosperity. That is we had a flash of high prices
and good times and then the bottom fell out. Fell out is right.
1t was as though the house had fallen.
Well, let's start there and come on. Along about 1900 we
got a second wind. Things began to look up" Let's travel along
with the new times. The farms grew prosperous. Land that
had been bought for SIS to $50 an acre commenced to climb. It
doubled and trebled in price. And it kept on climbing until it
stubbed its toe when the war had closed and deflation began.
All through those years we had been learning one year after
another to live better. We built houses to live in. We had more
in them. We went here and there as we had never before.
Invention outdid itself to add to our pleasures and our productive
ness. We bloomed. Wages went up. Perhaps we were extrava-
giant but the times gave excuse for some extravaganza. And then
we bumped our noses or at least we think we did. Fact is we
thought the world had fallen on us. And since then we've been
plying ourselves bitterly.
But there never was a period of prosperity that didn't leave
us ahead. Never a period of prosperity that didn't leave a big
toe hold by which to climb to another period of the same kind.
Somehow those things go by waves. Ask any old man. He has
ridden high on several, felt them break and struggled in the trough
for a while and then rode on the crest again. Somehow it has
always gone that way.
Which brings the conclusion that history repeats itself and
that the wave is even now to lift the American people to another
crest. It also suggests that we'll have the wait for the wave
and jump in as it rises.
We're altogether too sorry for ourselves. We're spending
too much time crying over the milk that was split and forgetting
that the cows will come home at evening with more milk.
1t has always come out all right. Every time it happened
somehow when we got down to business and went at it to bring
about good times, good times came.
We always lack faith when the slump comes. But we regain
it, get busy, work and save and make the best of things and first
thing we know we're back on the road again and going along in
high.
There was an old song that some of the folks remember. It
went, There's a good time coming, boys, a good time coming. {"
It's the way of the world.

A TEST OF THE LEAGUE

Italy refused to abide by the decision of the league of nations
in her embodiment with Greece. Both Greece and Italy are
members of the league. Yet Italy gives notice that if the league
decision is not with her purposes and demands she will refuse
to submit to it.
In that event what will the league of nations do? Enforce
its decision by force of arms or by blockade of the recalcitrant?
Would endeavor to use force to the utmost plunge Europe into
gnOther war involving the soviet through the Balkan states which
Great Britain into it in self defense? Would other members of the
league stand by the blockade agreement or would self interest or
fear OF future consequences keep them from maintaining their
obligations? There is plentiful possibility that Italian insistence
and haste may bring on another war weaker than the past one
only because of lack of men and money.
The spirit of Italy is warhke. MussoIini is a leader of war
riors. He may be a statesman of ability but he is a fighter first
and the fascist which is behind him are fighting men with the
fighting spirit. There has been a propaganda of renewal of the
old Roman spirit. If it has stimulated patriotism and coordinated
citizenship it has also stimulated readiness to resent insult and
injury with arms. Mussolini says it is an affair of honor" A
dueist himself with blood on his sword his natural tendency of
leadership would be to strife over the killing of Italian officials
unless his demands shall be satisfied by Greek humiliation.
This country may be thankful that it is not a party to the
European quarrel, not in a selfish way but as one world neighbor
who might otherwise be called upon to arbtrate between two
drunken men. For Europe is drunk with hatred and self interest
broken in purse, crippled in men and bloody from one calamitous
combat and still threatened with another.
Secretary Hughes spoke the sense of the American people
the other day when he made clear that his office opposes any
ENHANCEMENT like that of the league of nations and suggested that
this hemisphere has sufficient on its hands with its own affairs
1t will be universally hoped that the membership of the
league shall be able to bring about a peaceful settlement Of the

Trees of the Forests
Absorb Radio Energy

Signals in transit across forests
have lost much Of their power especial
ly In the spring and early summer
when the sap and foliage make the
trees better conductors Of electricity.
Radio waves passing over and through
the trees give up energy just as In
striking q steel building. II a short
length Of wire serving as an antenna
can absorb sufficient energy from 9
passing wave to create a sound which
can be heard several hundred feet
away from the phones, one can realize
how much energy may be intercepted
BY a large steel building with its cleo
tric wiring and pipes connected to the
ground Such absorption is particu-
larry noticeable when short wsvs
lengths T used.
When a wave length is eight to four
teen miles long "dead spots" seem to
little interference. Such a wave
is comparatively long compared 70
steel structures, and for this reason Il
is thought they do not obstruct the
waves path to such a great extent

DOL. ERNEST P. BICKNELL, Col.
~ r. E. Olds and W. G. Pearce, Amer
lean delegates to the International
Red Cross conference in Geneva, got
as far as Paris and then refused to
proceed because Of a statement in a
Swiss committee report that was con-
sidered offensive to the United States.
This read:
"The international Red Cross com
mittee does not believe that in the do
main Of Red Cross work supremacy Of
influence must belong to those who
r most powerful financially. Money,
which permits creation Of function
aries, is certainly useful, but 1t must
not give them the impression that they
are the masters of an institution such
as the International Red Cross"
This was taken as a direct slam at
America because of the founding of
the League Of Red Cross Societies by
the late II. p. Dawson of ]. p. Nor
gan & Co. and the fact that American
money made up rs per cent of the
funds needed for that Organization's
operations last year. Gustave Ador,
president of the International Red
Cross, cabled John Barton Payne
chairman of the American Red Cross
that there was no intention OF
hurting American feelings and urging
the Americans to attend the Geneva
meeting.

Nitrate Deposits In Sahara?

The nitrates of Chile are the larg-
est known to exist, and are one of the
greatest sources of that country's
prosperity. Their exhaustion would
mean disaster to Chile and a great
loss to the world. But it has been
suggested that Africa might compete
with Chile, If not take the place of
that country, in this industry. Ex-
perts are said to be convinced that
nitrate deposits even more extern
sive than those of South America ex-
list all over the western part of the
Sahara. 1t would cost more to get the
product to the coast than 1t costs In
Chile, but it Is averred that this extra
expense of transportation would only
counter-balance the high export duty

DESERVING OF HIGH HoNoRs
Doctor Wagner Of the Darmstadt Ger
many Experiment Station Has
Done Much for Agriculture

Fifty years ago Or. Paul Wagner be
came director of the experiment sta
ton nj Darmstadt, which had just
been founded, and has since won for
this institution world renown,
through his Investigations on plant
foods. Doctor Wagner certainly de-
serves to receive great commentator
for having, with the help Of his own
method of pot experiments, substan-
TALLY extended, and firmly established
the foundation for the use Of CONNER
cial fertilizers.
He was the first TO recognize and
correctly estimate the fertilizing eff
feet of the Thomas phosphate or basic
Stag.
BY steady improvement In the
methods of fertilizer experiments In
the field, he succeeded In making Of
these field experiments practical
means Of exact investigation.
Doctor Wagner, furthermore, has
clearly shown the results Of his In
vestigations In the vegetation house,
field and laboratory, to the practical
farmer, either In articles which are
easily understood, or In inspiring lee
lures; and In this way he has contrib
tied in an enormous degree toward the
proper use of commercial fertilizers |
n agriculture.
Here in the United States many of |
Doctor Wagner's articles are known,
aving been translated or summarized
y numerous writer's, to the great ad-
antage Of American agriculture.
