From SpOkesman-Review

Eagerness of American milers along the border to buy
Canadian hard wheat is indicated by the fact that in the week
ending May "a, as shown by the United States department of COM
merce reports, 5000 bushels of duty-paid wheat were imported.
The quantity was a trife, but the circumstances that a miller was
willing to bring in Canadian wheat and pay a tax of AZ cents a
bushel is indicative of what would happen if wheat were put on
the free list, or the tax reduced to the 30cent rate that was in
effect until President Coolidge increased t to ~ cents under the
provisions of the flexible tariff law. Even with a tariff barrier
of AZ cents a bushel a little Canadian wheat filters in.
Encouraged by the success of the wheat growers, representa-
tives of the organized dairy industry are insisting that the tariff
on imported butter should be increased and, acting under instruc-
tions of a senate resolution, the United States tariff commission
is making a survey of the dairy industry of this country and the
cost of production abroad.
The present tariff on butter and butter substitutes is 8 cents
a pound. Dairy associations say it is insufficient; that millions
of pounds of foreign butter are coming into the United States
and the tariff should be increased the maximum so per cent al
lOwable under the law.
When the commission has completed its survey the facts
will be transmitted to President Coolidge for action, and the dairy
producers are hopeful that he will give them the same help thai
he gave the wheat growers.
There is, indeed, even a stronger argument for protection
for dairy products than for protection for wheat. Free traders
say that as the United States is a wheatexporting country th
American grower can get little or no benefit from a protective
tariff; that the price is fixed abroad.
That argument, for whatever it may be worth, can not b
raised against protection for dairy products. For the Unite
States i s a dairy produce importer. Consumption here is in exces
of home production.

Editorial Digest of the Week
WHO WAS THE TRUE FRIEND OF THE FARMER?
From The Spokesman Review

In the closing days of the session the federal trade commits
sion, responding to a resolution introduced by Senator Norris of
Nebraska, reported that the American people paid a total tax
burden in 1922 of 81, 100000, 00O. Part of that gigantic sum
went to the federal government, part to state government, and
part to local government. 1t was an increase of 1877 per cent in
five years.
? That burden, the federal trade commission added, bears with
especial severity on the people of the Rocky mountain and Pacific
coast states, and was particularly burdensome for agricultural
communities, and most of all to the wheat-growing states, where
the farmers suffered from an unprecedented price decline for
their products, while the general price level of the things they
purchased remained high.
Congress knew all that. Congress knew that retrenchment
was sound policy. But congress voted away additional hundreds
of millions for pensions and passed extravagant bills over the
presidential veto.
There are the facts, and there is the record. What is the
country going to do about it?

PROMPT PAYMENT OF BONUS

Preparations are being made to send to all ex-service men
full instructions and blanks for making application for the bonus
voted by Congress over the Presidents veto. A feature of the
literature will be a warning against the horde of self-appointed
agents who will get in touch with the former soldiers and offer
to aid them in securing their share of the bonus for the payment
of a fee. There is no reason why any man eligible to receiving
bonus money should expend a cent to get it. The Government
will provide facilities in all parts of the country where the men
can get free advice in filing their claims, and the handling of
the claims in Washington will put no charge on the amount due.
The Government intends that every dollar of bonus due an ex-
soldier shall be paid to him free from all obligation.

The American Flag
In Public Schools

The color guard stood near the flagpole
In ~soldierly order arrayed,
AS the trumpeter blew ito the Color"
Salute" was the order obeyed.
Each morning before the school opened,
This duty with pride and with love.
Showed pleasure in all of their faces
AS the flag proudly floated above.
Now what is the flag" said an idler,
Who sat on the curbing close by,
That you should salute it each morning
While raising it up toward the sky,
Who made it and what is its meaning;
Is there anything in it you see,
That should cause US to do it such honor,
Does it benefit people like me?"
Then up spoke young Ernest Antonio,
The captain commanding the guard,
THE answer to such a plain question
Has nothing about it that's hard.
You see, sir, our flag is an emblem,
That stands for all we hold dear,
1t is law, it is justice and freedom,
If you're right you have nothing TO fear"
Then chimed in keen Patrick Maginnis.
There are other things, too, he should know.
IL was Betsey Ross cut out the pattern
And sewed it together just so.
But when all her work was completed.
The making was only part through,
For the flag is the voice of our people
Expressed in the things that we do"
THAT is true" said Pete Hanson, from Sweden.
I'VE are making that flag by day,
It's our conduct that adds to its glory.
Regardless of what you may say.
You had better accept what it offers
Your complaining will never avail,
1t is you that has Stacked on your chances
1t is you that's to blame if you fail"
my grandfather came here from Prussia"
Said Hans Seigel with positive voice,
But this is my flag and my country,
With me there is no other choice.
Don't promise me something that's better,
For it does not exist, as you know,
Its failure to function in Russia
Both hunger and bloodshed will show"
John Alden stood patiently waiting
To hear if the ider said more,
Then spoke of his kin on the Mayflower,
Who settled on New England's shore.
Among the first laws they enacted
Was to worship God just as they chose,
Broke down all the creed prosecutions
- Against either Gentiles or Jews"
at matters not how we came here,
Or what our f~orefathers have done,
As Americans true to our country
We stand here united as one.
So We put up the flag in the morning,
To remind US all the day through,
That with hands and with hearts ever ready
We stand for the red, white and blue"

Hitting at a railroad does not always strike at the interests
of big capitalists. The Northern Pacific, for instance, has about
$4,000 stockholders and nearly q, 1000 of them own less than 20
shares each. More than $4,000 or IS per cent Of the total num-
Der, own less than 100 shares each. Other roads show a similar
character of stock ownership.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY
 ENDS HONEYMOON
Young Husband Shoots Sell;
 Bride Dies Beside Body

London. Aug. 27.--A remarkably tragic episode in which both victims were well known in social circles has shocked London,
 Captain Thomas John Ray Geddes, 25 years ofNage. a member Of a dis tinguished British family and aide de-camp to the governor of the cen- tral provinces Of India. was in Lon don on honeymoon with his bride of few days. Mrs. Joan Geddes.
 They had rented m expensive flat in Jermyn street, Piccadilly. for the honeymoon. They had planned to leave for India shortly.
 The captain had spent money lav- ishly in preparing for the wedding and the honeymoon. The bills be- gan to come in and also creditors of his in India had begun t6 press him.
 He asked his bride to leave him alone in the apartment for half an hour as he had some writing to do. She then stepped out for walk.
 Captain Geddes then wrote the following farewell letter to his bride: Dearest Joan:
 "I propose, Joan, after I have written this, to kill myself. I love you more than ever I did. Please try not to think too badly of me.
 RAY"
 When Mrs. Geddes returned she found the captain lying dead on the floor with his army revolver beside him.
 She screamed, rushed down stairs and called the hotel manager. He came to her assistance and returned to the room, Then the bride saw the letter addressed to her, picked 1t up and read it.
 She grew strangely calm and then said to the manager, would you rlease leave me alone with him for A few moments? I'll call you later''
 The manager went out, closing the door behind him. Almost 1mmedl- ately he heard q pitsol shot and rushing back saw Mrs. Geddes on the floor beside her dead husband. She had picked up the revolver that Cap tain Geddes had used and put a bul- let through her brain. She died 1n- stantly.

PHOTOS TAKEN OF
 'MARTIAN SIGNALS
Scientists, However, Do Not Think They Arc of Importance

~sssngten. Aug, sT,-nevslep' nsnt Of a photographic hlm record e radio signals during a period of about ss hours while Mars was closest to the earth has deepened the mystery of the dots and dashes re- ported heard at the same time by widely separated operators of power ful stations,
 c. Francis Jenkins of Washington, inventor Of the diyiee, which he calls the Radio photo message eentlhu- ous transmission machine" was in- duesd by pr. David Todd, Prefes- sor Emeritus Of astronomy of Am- herst and organizer of the interna- tional 'Iiistening-in" for signals from Mars. to take the record.
 The film, 30 feet long and six inches wide. discloses in black and white fauly regular arrangement of dots and dashes along one side, but on the other side at almost even- ly spaced intervals are eurionsly jumbled groups each taking tho form of erudely drawn face.
 "I don't think the results have anything to do with Mars" says Mr. Jenkins. Quite likely the sounds res corded are the result Of heterodyn- Ing or interference of radio signals The film sows a repetition at inter- yais of about half hour, Of what appears to be a mans face. It's n freak which we can't explain"
 pr. Todd, however. takes a more serious view of the record, although admitting he Is at loss to explain It's significance.
 We now have permanent record , which can be studied" he points out, .snd who knows, until we have studied 1t. just what these signals hay have been?"
 William r. Friedman, chief Of the code section of the office Of the chief signal officer of the army. has been requested by Dr. Todd to make an attempt to decipher n section of the developed film, and Mir. Jenkins re- tained another strip to lay before Dr. J. H. Dellinger, chief of the radio division of the bureau of stan- dards, for his opinion.
 The Jenkins device was attached to a radio receiving set adjusted to a wavelength of 5000 metres and the dots and dashes were recorded or the film by an instrument passing over it's surface from side to side as It was unwound go times to the inch, which responded to incoming sounds with flashes of light.
