crease in their national obligations. The
situation is triumph for intelligent thought

further exhibitions of diplomatic stupidity,
and not because of any grave fault in the
plan itself. Let the chancellories Of Europe
now redeem themselves in the eyes of the

Creating Respect For Constitution

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
1 have noted with growing respect and
deep appreciation the consistent policy of
The Age-H Herald in. advocating the things
looking towards a loftier standard of moral
ity and patriotism in our nation, Il have
seen nothing anywhere which so awakens
my profound admiration and approval as
the national oratorical contest to stimulate
interest and encourage knowledge of and
create respect for the constitution and l re-
joice that The Age-Hersld had made this
one of its high detectives. At this particular
period, to encourage and stimulate this adj
mirable patriotic research among the youth
of our country is most wise and timely. j
am especially gratified to find a great daily
paper reinforcing in such splendid way
the efforts of the pulpit to stimulate respect
for law and order and a profound regard
for the constitution of our country. Wish
ing you great success. I am sincerely yours

to help one class at the expense of

The Farm Bureau propaganda was
largely built on abuse of the rail
roads and Misrepresentation of the
bankers and especially the Federal
Reserve system, as the arch-enemies
of farmers.
Crowds of farmers would swallow
these appeals to their class pre-
JUDGES for political effect, would
even sign notes to be used as col
lateral at the banks, but few would
back their judgment by paying,
and so farm bureaus go on the rocks.
When it is realized that every
banking and business practice is the
result of agelong human experience,
the failure of arbitrary crusades
based on class hatred must be in
evitable.

we'll thrill the 100000 American
homes already equipped with radio
apparatus, and add impetus to the
onward rush of an industry that is
reported to have grown from sales
amounting to a trivial 100000 in
1920, to $12O, 100000 in 1923, and by
estimate to $35O,OOO,OO0 in 1924.
Assuming 100000 as the approx
mate number of homes in the United
States, a statistician writing in Radio
News says that nearly 100000 of
them have automobiles, 100000
have monographs, and 100000
have radio sets. Evidently home
without either of these possessions
is hardly to be considered a home at
all; it is merely such place as hui
men beings ate and slept in during
the nineteenth century.

The Farm Bureau became ma
tional organization for very worthy
purpose-to reduce profits on pur-
chases and increase profits on farm
products. =
The Bureau methods were all
right, in pooling buying of farm ma
chinery and pooling marketing OF
crops, employing capital and a we'll
paid farm bureau manager.
Money has been saved and better
returns secured on sales in many
cases.
State Farm Bureaus have been
ably presented by good takers, films,
picnics, etc.
But these well-meaning plans to
help the farmer to better results
have not outgrown the mistaken be-
lief in building blocs and seeking

a friend as one who knows our faults
