FARM PROBLEMS
MUST BE SOLVED BY FARMERS AND NOT BY
LAWMAKERS, DECLARES GOMPERS Be
FORE NATIONAL WHEAT CON
FERENCE
Says They Are Doomed to Disappointment if They De-
pend on Legislative Cure-Alls For Place in
Economic Scheme

Chicago farmers can devise
no sounder method than legislative
cure-alls to maintain their proper
place in the economic scheme Of
things, they are doomed to disap-
pointment,' declared President Com
pers at the national wheat conference
in this city
The conference was called by gov
elnors and other public men TO help
the farmer"
Il see no reason why farmers need
to expect hope from anything that
does not also offer hope for labor, and
labor long since abandoned amy
dream, said the A. r Of L. executive.
This conference, called by those
whose present trend of thought, at
least, is toward political remedies,
must turn it's feet toward paths that
lead into the economic structure itself
if it wishes to work real benefit and
point to lasting and sound methods
Il have heard much about the all
legged disproportionate income Of IN
dushial wage earners and farmers.
Some of them have pointed out that
one Of the things greatly to be desired
is an increased market for wheat.
They propose to pattern after indus
try and teach the people to eat more
wheat Let me remind you that you
win not induce people to eat more
wheat if you threaten the income out
Of which they buy wheat
There are an manner and varieties
Of evangelists shouting from the
house tops, demanding miraculous
works from politicians, and the poor
politicians are being driven to desper-
alton ! am perfectly willing that
they should be driven to desperation.
and there are a lot of political crooks
and charlatans whom ] would joyfully
see driven clear out of the game; but
all Of that brings home precious little
bacon, either to farmer or wage earn
en-.
IF the wage earners Of our coun-
try had not the sense and the courage
to organize, nobody would have much
sympathy for them, and nobody would
take their complaints very seriously.
Gentlemen, the temptation to say, Go
thou and do likewise, is almost be-
yond my power to resist.
"The best knowledge of an industry
or an occupation is to be found within
that industry and that occupation
Farmers know more about farm prob
lens than anyone else knows about
these problems. Why do farmers
think they must run to legislators tc
find about the things which they them
selves are the best experts
There is a great gulf between poll
tics and industry Industry must
work out its own salvation, build ur
its own great governing forces, apply
democratic principles to fit its owr
structure and meet the needs of hu-
manity out of its own intelligence
There is no other force that has the
qualifications to take this job away

STRIKE is COSTLY

Buffalo, N. Y.-The attempt of
the local street car company to es-
tablish a hand picked union is cost
ing pretty penny. Evidence sub
mitted to the state public service com
mission shows that the company's
revenue for the first three months of
this year was $394,16 less than for
the same period year before the
strike.

Light to Trap Moths.

THE beet ranches of southern Cal
ifornia are protected from the
ravagesz Of the night-dying moths,
most cutworTn moths, by an ingenious
light trap set up in the fields; a single
trap capturing from 1900 to 1000
moths in a single night. One COM
pany has eight such traps In use and
during the past season the results
were equal to the highest expecta-
tions.
The device is Of reasonably simple
construction, being a powerful light
inclosed in a glass globe and sus-
pended over shallow galvanized
iron pan containing oil. The insects,
flying against the globe, fall into the
pan and perish in great numbers. AS
a large proportion of the moths are
females. carrying great quantities OF
eggs. the results of a seasons catch
can easily mount high in the millions.
The light is furnished by acetylene
gas, q tank being set below the frame
carrying the tank. though an electric
light has been used with equal sue

that Rollo Podmarsh looked on Mary
Kents suggestion that they should
have a round together as actually
tantamount to a revelation of undy-
Ing love, but he certainly regarded It
as q most encouraging sign. It
seemed to him that things were be-
ginning to move. that ,Rollo Preferred

Gone was the gloom Of the past
days. He forgot those sad solitary
wanderings Of his in the bushes at
the bottom Of the garden; he forgot
that his mother had bought him a new
set of winter woolies. which felt like
horsehair; he forgot that for the last
few evenings his arrowroot had tast-
ed rummy. His whole mind was oc-
cupied with the astounding fact that
she had voluntarily offered to play
golf with him, and he walked out
on to the first tee filled with yeasty
exhilaration. which nearly caused him
to burst into song.

Rollo's mother had recently been
reading medical treatise. in which
an eminent physician stated that We
all eat too much nowadays, and that
the secret of a happy life is to lay off
the carbohydrates to some extent.
She was, therefore. delighted to OBJ
serve the young mans moderation in
the matter of food. and frequently
held him up as an example to be
noted and followed by little Lettice
Willoughby. her granddaughter. who
was a good and consistent trencher-
woman. particularly rough on the
puddings. Little Lettice, should
mention. was the daughter of Rollo's
sister Enid, who lived in the neigh
borhood. Mrs. Willoughby had been
compelled to go away on a visit a few
days before, and had left her child
with Mrs. Podmarsh during her abb
sence.

Curious Use for Ice.

TIP to the present It has been pos
sible to leave only small cavities
in concrete, but q big advance has
been brought about by a new foreign
method. Pieces of ice that corre-
spond to the measurements of the
cavity required are embedded In the
concrete mass. and small channels are
left to allow the water to run off
when the ice melts. The process is
Of particular advantage In reinforc-
ing concrete with iron. The iron
parts are not built in during the
stamping, but are attached to the
blocks of ice before the work is be-
gun. The repeated moistening usu-
ally necessary in concrete work is
not required in this process. for the
melting Of the ice makes up the loss
by evaporation.

Age of the Ocean.

THE ocean is not, of course, as old
as the earth, since 1t could not be
formed until the surface Of the globe
had cooled sufficiently to retain water
on 1t. 1t may, therefore. seem
chimerical to try to measure the age
of the sea, but the task has been
undertaken. The estimate has been
based upon the ratio of sodium the
sea contains to that annuaily con-
tributed by the washings from the
continents. The conclusion has thus
been reached that the ocean has been
In existence between S0.000.o00 and
ITO, 100000 of years. This does not
seem to be a very definite determine
ton. but, in geology, estimates or
time in years are extremely difficult
because OF the uncertainty OF the ele-
ments Of calculation.

Ponto, who had recently handed in
his portfolio after holding off1ce for
ten years as the Willoughby family
dog, had been this same disinclination
to absorb nourishment. Besides, she
was an observant child. and had not
failed to note the haggard misery in
her uncle's eyes.
Lettice tackled Rollo squarely on
the subject one morning after break
fast He had retired into the more
distant parts Of the garden. and was
leaning forward, when she found him,
with his head buried in his hands.
"Hullo. Uncle" said Lettice.
Rollo looked up wanly.
"Ah, child" he said. He was fond
Of his niece.
Aren't you feeling well, uncle?'
Far. far from WELL"

Lettice gathered broadly that she
had been correct in supposing Uncle
Rollo to be in a bad state, and her
warm, childish heart was filled with
pity for him. She walked thought
fully away, and Rollo resumed bis
