Says an Authority.

Washington.-In each small COM

ne'er-do-well and the bad boy, and, as
they. are accepted along with other
unpleasant conditions, II appears to
be nobody's business to look after
them, according to speaker In re-
cent address to state conference of
child-welfare workers under the direc-
tion of the children's bureau of the
Department Of Labor. He stated that
the city is the more sensitive organ
ism, and explained this by saying that
people living close together looked
after evils that threatened the peace
and safety Of all. SO he advised those
to whom he talked to tell the country
towns, no matter how familiar many
Of the residents are with bad influ-
ences, that II was their duty to make
every effort to eradicate the cause of
misfortunes and bodily and mental Ills
In the young to the end that all might
be benefited.
In commenting on the speech the
bureau stated that It had found that
the speaker had spoken the truth and
that in many rural communities the
people thought they had done their full
duty to the relief Of the poor when
they gave out orders for small weekly
supplies Of groceries or placed the
helpless poor in the county poorhouse.
Constructive aid, the bureau said, was
often successful in bettering bad con-
dltions and in placing the mentally
and physically unfit on plane where
they ceased to be public worry and a
public burden.

Of the people.
Several Factors Involved.
at Is thus clear that the United
States has attained to its dominant
position as a manufacturing nation as
result of the combination of four
factors
81. The rich natural resources Of
the country have not only furnished
the materials for manufacture, but
their development has resulted in an
average purchasing power in excess of
that of any other country excepting
those British dominlons similarly
placed.
'2. abor has been So fully employed
in the development of natural re-
sources that 1t has been necessary to
attain to maximum economy in its
use.
'3. The combination of these two
factors has stimulated invention and
has made possible and profitable the
development of large-scale production
by labor-saving methods.
~. The development Of these meth
ods in turn has increased the purchas-
ing power Of the average man by
means of high per capita production
and capital accumulation"

New York.-The United States is
the foremost manufacturing nation
today, according to +. M. Miller, stat
istician of the National Bank of
Commerce. Supporting this statement
II is pointed out that the international
economic position of the country has
not heretofore been paralleled in the
history of the world.
The leading place as a producer of
raw materials would not Of itself suf-
hce to give the United States the in
ternational position which II now oc-
cupies, however. It has won that
place by reason of the fact that II Is
not only the foremost producer of raw
materials but has been for some dec
ades the foremost manufacturing ma
ton.
"The United States took first place
In the iron and steel industry about
1890; now its annual product Is In ex
cess of the combined output of the
United Kingdom, Germany, France and
Belgium" says Mr.. Miller. at be-
came the foremost consumer of raw
cotton In the closing years of the Nine
teenth century, taking the leadership
from the United Kingdom, which had
heretofore been the largest user.
until the World war the United
Kingdom was definitely the leader in
the woolen and worsted industries of
the world. During the war period
American raw wool consumption and
production of fabrics expanded rap
idly, and it is probable that there is
not now any material difference in the
capacity of the industries of the two
countries from the standpoint of wool
consumption. The United States now
onefourth of the commercial supply
of wool, about three-ffths of all cop
per mined and iron ore produced, two
thirds Of the annual raw silk crop en-
ter,lng into commerce, and from two
Thirds to four-fifths of the raw rubber
grown.
Depends Upon Domestic Demand.
"Outwardly the conditions surround
ing the development Of industry in
tho United States do not appear
to differ greatly from the influ-
ences which have conditioned the de-
vefOpment of manufactures in Europe.
Fundamental differences nevertheless
exist. Evidence of them Is found in
the fact that In the main American
manufacturers produce for domestic
demand, while European Industries
are dependent on their export business.
"This difference in the relative i'm
pOrtance of export trade of the manu-
featuring industries Of the United
States and Of Europe has existed al
most from the beginning of the devel-
opment Of the factory system In its
present sense. In Europe modern in
dustry was superlmposed upon coun-
tries already fairly mature. Fields
had long been titled. Coal was new
as source of power, but metal mines
had been exploited for hundreds of
years. In England and in many parts

Washington, ID. C., Jan. 25.-Farmers
have woes and plenty of them, and
all the world knows it. But there are
individuals in certain Of the executive
departments at Washington who think
the farmer isn't nearly as badly off
as he thinks he is, or that, If he is,
some of it is his own fault.
Don't use my name,"' say these com
mcntators, "or the department in which
| work You know what might happen
to me. Politics is--or are-politics."
In twenty years the government has
spent $122 100000 net in reclaiming
about 100000 acres of arid land.
This was done on the preferred payment
plan. The farmer got the land for
nothing in many instances, but he had
twenty years in which TO repay the gov
eminent for the actual cost of putting
water on it. Now many of these farm
ers are protesting violently not only
against the collection for the current
year but even against making any pay
ment at all.
I'VE are losing money on the land"
they say in chorus.
The government experts declare and
this applies not only TO the debtors to
the Reclamation Service but to all other
formers-tbat the good farmer is not

tended himself at the bank.
I'VE can ride along the roads through

The Wish to Be Ill
BY IL. Arlington Gruee.

Health is obviously so great a bless
ing that it would seem incredible that
any one could entertain a wish to be
i'll. Yet it is fact that not a few
people do entertain such wish, and
that it often is responsible for those
maladies Of many symptoms known as
the psychloneurOseS, or functional nerv-
Gus and mental disorders.
More than this, it also is a fact that
failure to cure psycho-neurOtic patients
is at times due to nothing but their
wish to be ill., Which is something that
needs to be more generally appreciated
than it now is even by practitioners
who undertake the treatment of the
psycho-ncurOtic.
When, for example. of two persons
displaying similar nervous symptoms
one is cured by some such method as
the COue method of self-suggestion, while
the other is helped not at all, it will
not do to jump at the conclusion that
lack of faith in suggestion accounts for
the failure in the second case.
1t may be that lack of faith is to
blame, lack of faith being the thing
that undoubtedly prevents the recovery
of many neurOtics who place themselves
in the care Of suggestionists. But it
may also be that the healing sugges-
lions are Intellectual because the nervous
symptoms confer such real or fancied
advantages that, subcOnsciOusly Mt any
rate, there is a strong Dissemination
to be rid of them.
This acts as lack of faith would act
TO set up a resistance too powerful TO
be overcome by the most skilfully adj
ministered suggestions. And so long
as the subconsciOus wish to be i'll is
present. all methods of treatment will
likewise he unavailing.
Proof that a wish to be i'll actually
causes illness and prevents recovery
may be adduced from many sources.
Most impressive of all, because of
the vastness of the scale on which it
was exhibited. is the proof derivable
from the world war. The announce
mcnt of the ending of hostilitics was
the signal for the restoration to health
Of thousands of victims Of shell shock. .
No longer was there danger of their
being subjected to the horrors of ser
vice at the front. The motive which
hal srbconsciously caused them to take
refuge in hysterical mutism or blind
ness or paralysis was removed. Forth
with their psycho-neurOtic symptoms
disappeared, and they were well again.
And if it be objected that since the
war psycho-neurotic maladies have de-
yeloped in many of those who took
part in il, the answer is that here again,

The advice given the farmer of the
United States by his government will

perts. ''if certain conditions are OBJ
served. He must follow the advice. He
must observe the same economy that
any other business man does when he is
working on a small capital. He must
make his farm as nearly self-contained
as possible"
That last, the experts say, is the
nub of the situation. The American
farm is no longer self-contained, be-
cause of the American farmer. He
buys costly fertilizer instead of Great
ing a better fertilizer on his farm.
He strips the fertility from his land
instead of nursing it. He buys his
Sunday chicken from the market in
stead of letting that chicken almost
raise itself around the farm. He Of
ten buys butter and cream instead
of bothering with cows. Chicago fur
nishes his ham and Kansas City his
beef.

father was before him. Bad farming

this supposed wealth is not simply mir
age, which will float away from sight
when the conditions under which all of
this output and income have been devel-
oped are changed, and a new management
is installed.
e The French can take over the Ruhr coal
mines, and can get out the coal if the
German workmen will hold on, but the
miners will have to be paid by somebody,
and the coal will have cost money by the
time it reaches France. The great steel
works can go on, if the trade orders which
the Germans have worked up, will con-
tinuc to come in. If they do not, then
France will likely find herself going red
on cher ledger of income and outgo, and
Germany may be in the hands of re-
cciver.
France is famed for her thrift and
economies, yet every Frenchman engaged
in any form OF manufacture knows that
profits can only come after the most care
fully installed economic planning, and the
securing of trade. Armies are not good
oversecrS to promote trade or for the in
stallation Of economies. Great Britain
maintains a population of forty-five mil
lions, when only fifteen millions can, be
supported by the food she produces. Two
thirds of her population, therefore, must
be supported through exports Of her coal
and manufactures, in exchange for grain
and meat supplies from other countries.
II an alien army should take over Eng
lands mines and factories, starvation
would be at hand within a few weeks. If
France, therefore, can extract profitable
returns from the Ruhr short of annexa-
ton, then she will upset all the expert
cnce of modern manufacture and trade.
She may, of course, entirely destroy the
shaky political government of Germany,
but such an outcome would not, in any
wise, help toward the recovery of the
principal of the reparations money, al
ready overdue from Germany.
