Floral chimeras.

There are orchids Of the tropics
which exceed in strangeness of form
and splendor Of color anything pro-
duced in cOnservatOries. Among the
most remarkable of these plants are
those belonging to the genus masde-
vallla. One species closely initiates
the trunk Of an elephant and is named
accordingly, masdeyalla elephanti-
ceps. Another looks like a flying pig
con. The species to which the name
'chlmera" is specially applied is very
extraordinary. With what resembles
two slender legs and a flail-like trunk
upraised from its head. the flower
startles the behOlGer with its resem-
blance to some fantastic and mon
strOus insect. Ti' resemblance of
these flowers to animals is so exact
that even birds are sometimes de
ceived by them.

The citizens of Smyrna did a good
thing Friday night in backing up
Smyrna Town Council IN its move
ment to reduce the membership Of
Council to five members, doing away
with petty districts and electing mem
bers at large. Such meetings should
be held oftener. 1t not only encour-
ages our town board but it shows an
interest in municipal affairs that is
helpful. The citizens meeting brought
out further amendments to be made to
the charter, that Of providing for hold
over members and regulating the
manner in which nominations should
be made. Our charter has been very
loose on this point and for years has
needed to be corrected. With a five
member Council and no districts, more
influential citizens will be available
for councilmanic duty and better
working results can be accomplished
We have favored in these columns q
! three-member Council and the EN-
I ploying of town manager and towr
clerk combined, who could be pail
enough to give his whole time and at
tention to looking after all town de
partments and caring for the busines
affairs of the town. This latter sug
gestion might have to be adopte
. some day. However, in cutting tn
4 membership of Council from seven t
5 fve>and eliminating districts, a pre-
gressive step has been taken in tn
5 right direction. Let us hope thel
n will be no hitch in getting the amenc
ments adopted and approved at tn
session Of Legislature so the new la
: may become effective at the annu
l. town election soon to take place.

ish mission to Washington. Further,
that in, place of the 5 per cent demand
notes now held by the United States
for this debt the Washington govern
ment, subject to Congressional ap-
proval, will accept a bond to run six
ty-two years with interest of 3 per
cent for the first ten years and 312
per cent thereafter, and annual pay
ments of one-half of per cent to sink
the principal. The news all comes
from London, however, and got from
Washington.
The reasons for this prompt ac-
ceptance of the terms by the British
Cabinet thus become fairly obvious.
No acceptance would mean a continu
ed per cent interest charge. An
agreement would at once bring into
operation a per cent charge and re-
duce from to Az per cent the back
interest rate from the time the debt
was contracted in 1917, which is a
part of the terms offered.
J The question of agreement will now
go to Congress, which has been duly
miffed by the head Of the British mis-
sion in some foolish remarks on its
rural-mindedness toward international
questions. But there are certain rea-
sons for thinking Congress will swal-
low its pride and also accept.
Secretary Mellon has probably hao
a deciding voice in arranging these
terms and he will have Congress in
formed that the Treasury needs thi:
interest-payment money to balance
the budget. We figured last Decembel
on getting nearly $25O,OOO,OOQ from

were and are some arguments for the
practice, as there are for any form of
activity. In its original
purpose to develop new and better
crop products, it was and is today
justifable.' But as a matter Of Con
gressional pap to be peddled out to
constituents, and to be supplied from
stock, rather than from experimental
tests, it had lost whatever of justifi-
able status it ever had. The practice
had come generally to be considered
an abuse, but it would have gone on
for years to come if the budget sys-
tenn had not finally halted it.
The saving thus made is typical Of
others that in the aggregate make -

There is no question but that the
farmer, in the depression that has
been world wide since the Great War,
has suffered more than any other per-
son. The price that he has been able
to get for his produce has fallen more
than any other commodity. In ad-
dition to this the prices for the nee
cessities for farming have not drop
ped in proportion to the decline in
crops. Labor, while it is not as high
as it was during the war, still it is
higher in proportion than crop prices
warrant, and in addition to that is
quite inferior. A great cry has been
raised about the condition of the
farmer and many causes have been
advanced for his present plight and
many remedies have been suggested.
Many causes have been suggested,
among them the defation which took
pace in 1920. Whatever may have
been incidental causes there is no
denying the fact that the chief cause
of the farmers present condition has
been his inability to sell his crops. He
has lost his market.
The Worlds Work, in speaking ed
itorialy of this matter, says: what
are the causes Of the existing depres-
sion? An examination will probably
disclose that they are not materially
different from those which caused the
agricultural depression that followed
the Civil War or that which made the
early nineties a horrible memory to
all who passed through them. A
commission appointed by Congress,
under the Craftsmanship of the Hon.
Sydney Anderson, disposes of certain
explanations that are popular today
precisely as they were fifty years ago.
It finds that the extension Of bank
loans in the farming sections up to
June, 1920, was greater than in the
industrial regions. The idea that the
farmers were the main victims Of the
period of "dehation" that followed is
evidently not we'll based; the simple
truth is that the Federal Reserve
banks did not curtail loans in tht
rural districts to a greater exten
than in the financial and industria
sections. 1t also finds that the re
duction of bank deposits was create
in the rural than in the industria
areas-in itself, it is urged, a suffici
ent banking explanation for the cul
tailment of loans.
"That an improvement of the farr
credit situation may assist; that a
improved marketing system will hell
that decreased freight rates, an il
creased supply of cars, and a bette
ment of railway service generally a.
important. 1t is the duty of Co
gress, of the press, of the banks,
the railroads, to exert their best e
ergies to ameliorate the farmers p
sition. But one fact should not
lost sight of. The final cause for t
present misery is the same as tn
which produced the agony Of the sc
enties. The farmers have lost a cC
siderable part Of their market now
they did then. They cannot sell tn
goods simply because their custom
have lost a great measure of tn
purchasing power. The most eff
tual way of improving their situat
is to set their customers on th
feet"

and if this country wants to help
farmer it must give all the aid it
to the European countries to get
their feet financially. When our Ia
est customer is buying again we

must be determined by the Repub-
lican National Committee in pro-
portion to the Republican vote actu-

These words-"in proportion to
the Republican vote actually cast
will be the legal argument on which
the Johnson supporters will rely in
trying to persuade the next RepuD-
Iican national convention in Cleve-
land to throw out all additional dele
gates now granted by the Republican
national committee to such States as
South Carolina, where only six out Of
forty.six counties cast as much as
100 votes for the Republican party
in the last Presidential election.
The upshot of the whole matter
is that the Republican national
committee had to do something for
the negroes of the South in order
to avoid alternating and losing the
negroes of the North, and in the
course Of doing it they had to
violate a rule Of representation laid
down by the last Republican ma
tional convention, and they had to
enrage Hiram Johnson, who there
upon will roar like lion with a

SCHOOLS URGED
To IMPROVE
TEACHING
Columbia Parent Teacher
Speakers Say They Fail in
Citizenship.

Washington public schools are
not successfully preparing their
pupils for citizenship.
Such was the outstanding senti.
ment of a meeting held last night
in the Columbia Junior High School
under the auspices of the Parent.
Teachers Association OF the school.
The reason ascribed was that the
schools are following the demands
of the public and the public il not
insisting upon a fuller teaching of
the duties Of good citizenship.
Mrs. Raymond Morgan, member
Of the Board Of Education, was
among those who declared that the
schools were not succeeding In their
most important teaching. Mrs. Nor
gan declared that the average
Washingtonian was not interested
in public school affairs, and was
not interested in public problems.
Stephen e. Kramer, principal of
the Central High School, said that
the public, to make the younger
generation better fitted for citizen
ship. should demand that the
schools develop thinkers aSad make
the pupils physically fit. George
Jones, head of the history depart.
ment in the schools, explained what
his department was doing to make
better citizens of the pupils. Mrs.
Jerry South presided

greed have snatched at the very
clothes on her back.
One might also use the ex@
perience of Harry Comstock for
a parable. He recklessly climb
ed a giant oak near San An

great hollow in the tree,
where he remained imprisoned
for ten days.
