= =:
The recent business condition has brought to the
forefront Of thought many fundamental considerations
that have always been known but have been damned
with faint praise - ~, 1@.
Human nature in the mass is very much like human
nature in the individual One of it's dominant charac-
terstics has been summed up in the observation You
never miss the water till the we'll runs dry" We never
appreciate fundamental things until we have occasion
to do without them
This observation has special application to the De-
mand of the public for the products Of industry While
the Demand was at high tide and everybody was busy
trying to supply that Demand at profit no one SEEM
ingly gave thought to where the Demand came from
how long might last what would happen If should
fail. We merely assumed the permanent existence of
the Demand, just assume the presence Of water
air, and fire.
But day came when Demand began to slbside and
in many industries it almost to full stop. And
thenwe missed it, and realized as never before what
an important thing it was. And we began to inquire
where it from in the first place. and how it might
be restored *" = :
We always knew-everybody knew-that Desire for
things made Demand for them in the market That
people desired things accepted as an elemental fact
But when we discovered that Desire huctuated we be-
gan to appreciate that Desire as we know it, is thing
created by the tot It is highly specialized
form of an elemental need-just as Louis XVI chair
is made out Of a tree.
This discovery led to another equally important dis
covery that the means of refining and specializing that
Desire was Advertising. The gigantic work that has
been accomplished by modern advertising now stands
out in bold relief It has been the means by which the
refnements Of civilization have been made known and

1.-Two Of the foremost remedies
which have been proposed as
~ cure for the disease afflicting
agriculture are price fixing of grain
and the curtailment of production.
The farmer, in large measure, is OPP
posed to the one and he will not do
the other.
whom talked in my tour of the
corn belt were personally opposed to
price-fxing and declared most Of their
neighbors held a similar opinion. They
feel price-fixing would only complicate
their problem and make 1t worse.
The sentiment is general that price
fixing is economically unsound, that
1t would bring about tremendous
overproduction and result at once in a
situation impossible and disastrous.
Plans Not Practical
An effort has been made, for
months, to educate the farmer to cut
his production. But l did not find a
farmer Is sympathy with the plan.
Farmers unanimously declared it is
not practical or possible because a
little money is more to be desired than
none at all.
There is q peculiar psychology tied
up In this attitude. The farmer has
always produced as much as he could
from the land. For the larger crop,
the more money he realized therefrom.
He was greatly encouraged in this
ambition during the war and 1t is not
in his nature to reverse habit and
tradition easily or quickly. 1t costs
him but little to plant 100 acres in
corn instead of 40 acres and the
returns are correspondence larger.
Then, there remains the fact the
farmer Is Enthusiastically a suspic-
ious individual. The farmer Is loathe
10 enter into any organization plan
to cut production because he fears
that his neighbor will take advantage
of the situation, increase production
and reap the resultant benefits.
The same disposition to be suspic-
ious, distrustful and rather envious
offers the chief hindrance to the
principle of cooperation which has
been advanced as the ultimate solu-
ton Of the agricultural problem.
The experience of these cooperative
concerns has not been at all compli-
rnentary to the farmer. His disloyalty,
when the acid test came, has been q
marked characteristic Of them.
Not Pretty Picture
That isn't a pretty picture painted
of the farmer, but It isn't my handi-
work It is painted by the farmers
themselves. by those who belong to
co-ops and those who do not

expressed by many farmers, that the
fai ming indstry is too big and too
widespread to operate on a commod-
ity cooperative basis. All OF them
agree that 1t would be a fine thing
IL they could sell through a central
cooperative concern. They admit
readily enough that. in this fashion,
they could largely control the mar
ket and the prices. But they shake
their heads sadly and assert Gmphati-
cally that It can't he done.

The Repeater
By BERTON BRALEY


We like to hear humorous stories,
We don't SO much mind If they're
old,
For some yarns retain all their
glories
No matter how often they're told;
But Angels in Heaven defend us
And keep US away from the bloke
Who trumpets a horse-laugh tremen-
dous,
And keeps on repeating
repeating
repeating
Forever repeating the joke.
He starts with a griR and chuckle,
Proceeds with a snigger or two,
And breaks both his belt and his
buckle
Before he's a quarter-way through.
Deliver US all from that fellow,
Avaunt from US, beat it, arointi
That bird with roar and below.
Who keeps on repeating
repeating
repeating
Forever repeating this point.
We get so we vince at his laughter
Which irritates all Of our nerves,
We wish him a torrid hereafter
Where he will get what he de-
serves;
Red devils with pitchforks to prick
him
In very old fiber and joint,
To harry ard jab him and stick him
And sec that he's getting,
Be sure that he's getting
Eternally getting-the Point!

IWI ernor Clifford Pinchot's drastic

It constitutes one Of the most re.

1t has incensed drys all over the

toward the climax which may occur

the pulling at cross purposes, the
irtrigues and quarrels which have
marked prohibition enforcement with

Some time ago Attorney General
Daugherty wrote all State attorney
generals asking cooperation in FEEDER
al prohibition enforcement. Pinchot,
noting failure Of Federal agents to
dry up FIVE Pennsylvania counties,
known in Washington among the wet
test in the country. called upon
Daugherty for help. Department OF
Justice agents went in and with State
troops staged clean up.
Help Is Granted
Pinchot's latest smash at the Penn
sylvania vets followed another re-
quest for help from the Department Of
Justice. This help was granted.
This all makes it look as though
Commissioner Haynes force in Penn
sylvania were falling down on its Job.
But it isn't Haynes fault. his friends
say. They blame It all on Blaire, who
they say. forced Haynes against his
protest to reorganize the Pennsyl-
vania unit.
The reorganization, drys say, has
not worked out well for prohibition.
Now Pinchot calls in the Depart
