WILSON SILENT
 IN RETIREMENT
Lived Alone With Wife In Moderate Home-Had
 Modest Fortune

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. After Woodrow Wilson left the White House | in 1921 he took the life of retired man of letters, which he continued un- til death.
 ! He lived alone with his wife in a comparatively moderate home for a man of his place, and maintained most of the time modest establishment of three servants and used car. l His daily routine was modelled on the eight hour day which he once told Con- gress was "adjudged by the thought and experience of recent years, thing upon which society is justified in insisting as in the interest of health, efficiency and contentment." He always said grace before meals even in the days when life was at law ebb and he had to steady himself on the back of his dining chair and whisper the words. He never failed before closing his eyes, for what he knew always might be the last time. to read few verses aloud from the Bible which laid on the table at his bedside.
 Realized His Condition. Fish''rg for life da.s by day. Wood the presence of death. A man of his
  paralysis and general breakdown-sel- dom lives long. The best medical skill careful nursing and the constant at- tention of devoted wife, however, heightened his span of life toward the three score and ten as even his most ardent vel wishers had not dared to hope.
 MT. Wilson took a modest fortune with him from the White House and although he never earned any money during his retirement he was able to live comfortably, but carefully on his capital. When he came to Washing ton from the governorship of New Jer- sey he brought with him feww thous- and of dollars as an educator never ed. His salary as an educator never was large and his pay as governor was also small. He had been rearing a family of girls, and although he had written many books his royalties were desultory. When he came into sal ary of $75,000 a year-the largest he ever had received-years of thrift as- serted themselves and he saved money. Royalties from his writings jumped suddenly and tremendously because his books came into great demand. Social activities at the White House were discontinued because of the war, and he saved a great part of his salary. It was estimated that when he left the White House, Woodrow Wilson was worth more than quarter of a mil lion dollars. The second Mrs. Wilson had a modest fortune of her own before her marriage.

Aericultura1ly, this country is about $1,OOO,O0OOOO better off than it was thirty days ago.
 Yet, within few months past, bloc politicians were picturing on paper and in Congressional halls dire happenings for the farmer. :.
 It made argument, but it didn't stop the operation of the simple law of supply and demand.
 The pessimistically inclined, with a purpose, have shifted base and now look with alarm at the industrial situation. But they will find it hard to pass off that billion dollar increase in farm wealth. Giving the farmer a chance means giving prosperity chance. But in this, separate the inspired legislative nos trums and political yawpines from the sounder workings of nature.
 Look over the adjustments, crops and prices of wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, hogs, fruit, poultry, poultry products, etc.
