One trouble with America just no"

think they nave a panacea for all the
ills of the country, but the man wno
settles down to work at his W

own problems than the a VINO

The Palouse country is again IN
the midst of the harvest season, n
is running true to form, with wheat
vield;ng from 30 to As bushels to
Hhe acre. Taken over a period OIL
wears it can't be beat. Coupled with
the wheat production, too, is a won
derful crop of grasses of all kinds,
affording feed for the carloads Oh
dairy COWS which are being brought
into the country, and which will bring

With the death of President Hard
ing the public has suddenly peeh
to the fact that the presl-
dent of the United States undergoes
a terrific mental and physical strain,
more. if he is a conscientious official,
than many men are able to stand
Harding took his office seriously n
devoted his every ounce of energy TO
the great task to which he had dedl-
Gated himself, and it may truthfuliy
he said that he sacrificed his life IN
his country's behalf. In the future
there will be nothing heard regarding
a third term for presidents, and IL
is not improbable that there will be
fewer men who will seek a second
term. The affairs of government are
becoming more complex with each
year in America. We are no longer
free from world entanglements, and
we face more stupendous problems
within our w boundaries. The pre-
sidency is anything but a s%inicure.

Men spend more money to main
tain what they call their social posi-
ton thar for real comfort and gen
uine enjoyment. They submit weak
ly to a standard of extravaganza
which their environment imposes up
on them, and which drain their re-
sources without giving them any solid
satisfaction. If they only had the
courage to live according to their
own notions and the simple desires
of their hearts, they would be happier
and incur less useless expense. tx
travagance has killed much happi-
ness and wrecked the prospects of
many a promising family.-Ex.

WON'T HELP THE FARMER
Changed marketing methods n
changed credit methods in agricul-
ture. however excellent for the long
run future of agriculture, are feeble
and irrelevant remedies for the pres
ent acute agricultural distress. The
farmers troubles grow out of a
breach in the worlds economic equi-
librium. With Europe disorganized,
and with production "as usual in
the rest of the world, there is a re-
1ative scarcity of manufacturing ac-
tivity and a relative excess of farm
production, raw material capacity,
and shipping. There is not a general
'over-production, but the proportions
are wrong, and this means over-pro-
duction in certain lines, of which
wheat and hogs are striking examples.
For agriculture to accept vast new
credits at the present time would
mean putting a lot of new capital into
an already over-expanded industry.
This would mean increased agricul-
tural production, and still lower
prices for farm products. There is
no help for the farmer in this course.
