Probing Too Much

YN essaying to comfort the farmer in a day
when prices are lean for what he pro-
duces and fat Tor what he buys, the
american Economist" resourceful organ of
the Protective Tariff Association, falls into
an error not uncommon to advocates over
Jealous in shaky causes. 1t proves too much.
First, the Economist bids the farmer re-
member the marvellous benefits which the
Fordney- McCumber tariff has bestowed upon
him by protecting" his domestic market.
Singularly enough, however, the national ad-
ministration has found it expedient to send
a special commission to the West to see what
means, If any, can be devised for relieving
the distress of wheat growers-whom high
import duties were supposed to have placed
beyond all danger of depression. Next the
farmer is reminded that agricultural imple-
ments are on the free list, and that in this
he is peculiarly favored. Hear the Econo-
mists own skillful exposition:
"The same can not be said of any other
class of citizens. The seamstress who bends
her back all day over sewing machine was
not tie recipient of such attention at the
sands of Congress. The tools with which
this worker earns her living are protected
by from fifteen to thirty per cent. The cash
register is an implement of the business man
and merchant without which he can not do
business in these days of modern business
twenty-five per cent. All textile machinery
used in the great cotton and wooden and silk
mills of the country bears a duty of from
thirty to forty per cent. Machine tools are
assessed at thirty per cent. Adding machines
and typewriters bear a duty Of thirty per
cent. The lawn mower with which the urban
citizen keeps his dooryard in order is pro-
tected by thirty per cent"
1t is here that the jealous spokesman for
the Protective Tariff Association proves too
much for the good of it's case. For in at
tempting to show what burdens the farmer
has escaped, IL VlVluly reveals those Whlch
the rank and file of consumers are made to
bear. The seamstress, the merchant, the
mechanic, the multitudes of typewriter users
and the urban citizen" trying to keep his
dooryard trim, are held up to tillers of the
soil, including the depressed wheat growers,
as examples of what the tariff makers might
have done to agriculture if they had not been
benevolently disposed. We doubt that the
farmer will be greatly comforted by the
thought of what his millions of fellow citi-
zens in other fields of bread-winning are hav-
ing to bear. But those millions should ad-
mire the freedom with which the mind and
motives of the tariff Warwicks are confessed

THE RACE FOR AIR
SUPREMACY
By DR.. Frank Crane

T but yesterday in the history of the
! world that all the nations were rushing
forward in military competition. Each
state was endeavoring to have a bigger army
and bigger navy than its neighbor.
This sort of thing came to a climax in the
World War It is mistake to think that
that war was sort of wilful crime perpe-
trated by Germany Or any other nation. 1t
was an automatic war. for it came auto
matically~ as the logical result of the old
order, of the race for military supremacy.
And now we have embarked upon SIM
liar dance of death.
The other powers have found out that
France has 40 squadrons of nine planes
each, ready for some future kill feast, and
hence is overwhelmingly supreme in the air.
Alarmed at this, the British parliament ap-
proves the spending of twenty-five million
dollars a/year on air power for three years,
at the end of which time Great Britain will
have 1fty-two homes squadrons of twelve
planes each, in addition to other squadrons
on foreign and naval duty.
France came back with a provision for
220 sQuadrons. Italy and Russia are girding
up their lOins to go into the race also. And
the United States army air service will ask
congress for an appropriation for the coming
year double that of the past year.
The American Legion is recommending
that some sort of international conference be
held to complete the work of the Washington
conference and limit this air-force cOmpe-
tidon.
Just why all the nations of the world
should tax themselves to death in order
eventually to fight themselves to death 1t is
difficult to understand. Is there not reason,
vision and craftsmanship enough in the
world to avoid this sort Of thing?

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Now there are dipersities of gifts, but
the same Spirit. For to one is given by
the Spirit the word of wiSdom; to an
other the word of knowledge by the same
Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit;
to another the gifts of healing by the
same Spirit; to another the working of
miracles; to another prophecy; to another
discerning of spirits; to another divers
kinds of tongues; to another the inter-
probation of tongues. But all these pork
eth that one and the SeIfSame Spirit, d.
viding to every man seperaIly as he will.

A. Glass would slowly disintegrate If
buried in moist soil. The action on the glass
would be due primarily to water and alkali
The disintegrating action would vary with

the conditions that obtained in the soil. This
action would probably be extremely slow

Well, what about sunshine, and starlight
and the laughter of young hearts, and April
skies, and autumn woodlands, and the rain
that is sent upon the Just and the unjust,
and the voice of bells at eventide, and the
moons soft miracle touching cabin yards
into courts celestial, and the joy in the
bark Of dog for his master, and a mock
ing birds call to it's mate, and the gurgle
Of brooks through leafy wanderngs, and
the flicker of freight against window panes
seen through chill dusk, and a sleepy drip
drop upon bedroom caves, and breath from
hillsides where crab apple blooms, and an
old comrades handclasp after winters of alb
sence, and the devotions that give toll its
meaning and the faiths that go fighting
and conquering, not as mercenaries, but as
golden-armored knights of the Invisible, and
the visions that come in watches of the deep
dark, and the friendliness that shines from
eyes where suffering and sympathy have lit
their candles?
Things free, after all, are the only ones
worth having. But only free souls can find
them. ...................-.

MY FAVORITE STORIES

According to friend of mine, two travel

conversation between the tourists reached a
point where personal achievement obtruded.
1t was plain that either Of the gentlemen
felt sense of pique that the other was ig-
norant of his prominence in his community
at home. At length, one of them with scorn
in his voice said

Nash Production Exceeds
All Previous Records

May will be the biggest month In
the history of the Nash Motors Com
pany, providing production of Nash
cars maintains its present pace for
the balance of the month.
Shipments for the first half Of May
totaled 3.016 cars, the production
schedule for the month calling for
5000 cars.
Even with shipments for the month
OF 5000 cars we will not meet the full
demand" said +. ii. Mccarthy, gen.
eral sales manager of the Nash Mo-
tors Company. "As a matter of fact
we have orders from dealers for near
ly 1000 cars in excess of the May
production schedule. Demand Tor the
Nash product has increased so rapid
lv that throughout the entire sprlhS'
each month has eclipsed all previous
records in point of production ana
sales.

Nash Motors shipped practlcally as
many cars as the entire calendar year
of 1921 but our total shipments from
January l to date greatly exceed our
fetal shipments from January 10

the biggest month in the companys
history up to that time; then along
came April and shattered the March
record and now May production VIII

1922 which has stood as the COM
pany's largest month.
"The fact that demand for Nash
cars this year is spread pretty gen
orally throughout the country ,is
gratifying feature of the present sit
uatiOn. A year ago this was not the
case for at that time q number OF
sections of the country had not really
begun to return to a normal jnditlon
so far as, general business conditions
were concerned. Backward spots now
are few and far between"
In anticipation of heavy demand
for the Nash product this year plant
extensions have been made at the
four cylinder car factory and have
about been completed at the Nash
closed body works in Milwaukee.
This will mean even greater produce
ton facilities during the summer and
fall months. 7y--.e.--. q.
