the people of River Falls. For sew
eral years we have been sending dele
gates to these worthwhile gatherings
for young people. We have. how
ever, not yet been fully convinced of
the value of them. A great many of
us still hesitate in rendering our en-
thusiastic support. However, the
young people who have been attend
ing these conferences are giving a
good account of themselves. Their
leadership in worthwhile activities in
church, school and community is I'M
questioned.
Mr.. P. G. Orwig of Chicago, the
Associate Director Of the American
Youth Foundation, who gave several
addresses at the GAINESVILLE confer
ence made a significant statement in
his Sunday afternoon address. He
pointed out that the older generation
should not be criticised too severity
for their apparent inability to fur
nish the spiritual leadership of which
we are so much in need at the pres
ent time. In the time of their youth
such leadership training conferences
were not held. But it does mean that
we do earnestly solicit their coopera-
ton in securing for the next genera
ton every possible help to enable
them to face and solve the tremen-
dous problems that even now they
are being called upon to face.
The Older Boys Conference at
Fond du Lac on the three days di-
rectly following Thanksgiving is of
particular interest to large number
of boys in River Falls because it is
at Fond du Lac that John Gerretsoa
is the general secretary of the city
Y. M. C. A. Mr.. Gerretson has done
great work with the boys of that city
for the past two years and has been
largely responsible for keen, city
wide interest in their boys. 1t will be
great opportunity for any boy to be
able to GO to Fond du Lac and secure
first hand contact with the factors
that are building manhood at its best.
Next week on Wednesday, Nov. IL,
the program of the monthly workers
conference of the Congregational
Sunday School will be devoted to the
value of the young peoples confer
ences. Several young folks who have
attended recent camps and confer
ences will give short talks. Young
people and their parents are particu-
larly invited to be present at this
session.

get the full significance of this de-
velopment we must understand just
where the farmer has been and why
he has been there. In 1923 things
were supposed to have been in a
reasonable balance. We may as
sumo that the farmer was then re-
ceiving 81 for his crops, 81 for his
livestock and that he was paying 81
for the industrial commodities that
he needed. Under these circum-
stances trade may go on freely and
everyone may keep busy. By 1920
we find that things have changed.
The farmer is now receiving SO for
his crops. an increase in income of
200 per cent, and he is paying out
$3.50, or an increase of $50 per
cent for the things that he must
buy. Money flowed freely.
THE following year the most
drastic price decline in history broke
in upon this generally pleasant
scene Farm prices t%abogganed IN
til the farmer vas again receiving
81 for his crop. Industrial prices
also came in for readjustment, but
they did not suffer so seriously and
the close of the war found commod-
ity prices at $1.50. Thus the farmer
had but 81 and the things he want
ed were priced at $1.50. No sale!
II 1928 the situation was some
what better, but still the farmers
income from his crops was only
$1.40, while the things he needs in
the industrial world cost S1.75. The
year 1924, however, has seen the
readjustment completed. Farm prices
for crops have risen to $1.5S, and
industrial prices have receded to
$1.55. The farmer is again in the
market for the first time since 1920.
He has almost a billion dollars
more than he had last year, in cash,
and the accumulated needs of three
lean years clamor to be filed.
This balancing of income and
outgo is vitality important to the
farmer and to those who do bus
mess with him directly, but it also
of unusual Importance to everyone
in the United States regardless of
occupation or financial condition.
First the farmer is a primary pro-
Queer. Money in his hands works
its way through our whole
cial fabric. More important than
this is the fact that the farmer rep
resents fully 80 per cen of our
total market, and it is impossible
to have a period of real prosperity
unless all groups are relatively
prosperous and are buying actively.
The squirt in business which started
ir the fall of 1922 and ran over
into 1928 was doomed for this
reason: With but 20 per cent of
the prospects buying, the factories
filled all the orders and soon got
ahead of themselves.
THE return of the son of the soil
to u markets, therefore, deserves
first position as the most important
and significant development of 1924.
General business as reflected by the
Babson chart is now slightly above
normal. We may or may not see
continuous and growing prosperity
this year, but at least one of the
necessary conditions of such pros
perity has been fulfilled"

STATEMENT

Madison, Wis, Oct. Robert NJ.
LaFollette, Jr., 30-year-old republi-
can United States senator, enjoys
campaigning as well as his father
did.
Already experienced in the steering
of political campaigns, he takes a de-
light in the tours that candidates
make, particularly by automobile. If
young Bob has a hobby, it is driv-
ing an automobile
Young Bob followed his fathers ca
reer closely. Characteristic La Fol-
lette mannerisms are employed to
some extent by the son, although his
platform differs somewhat from that
of the senator.
The first important appearance of
young LaFollette in the political spot
light was at the Cleveland conference
in 1924, when he delivered his faith
er's speech accepting the presidential
Endorsement of the Conference foI
Progressive Political Action.
Unusual bonds existed between the
father and son. In 1913, when Bot
Junior was critically i'll. Senator La
Toilette familiarized himself with the
dietary and other treatments anC
helped administer them. On one oc
casion, at least, the Senator helC
Young Bob in his arms until the crisi;
was passed.
Illness, from which Bob apparently
recovered with robust health, was re
sponsible for the interruption of hi
university education, and resulted il
devoting himself to training baset
on experience.
From February, 1917, until Janu
airy, 1913, he was confidential secre
tay of his father, this service ais
being interrupted by illness. Ate
convalescence, he became secretary t
Senator LaFollette, holding this posi-
ton until June, 1925. During tn
same period he was clerk of the sen
ate committee on manufactures, an
in 1922 he managed the progressiv
campaign in Wisconsin. After tn
campaign he was elected chairman 0
the republican state central commit
tee, and was reelected in 1924.
He was vice chairman of the cam
paign committee, in charge Of pol
cy, which conducted the senator
1924 campaign for president.
