I do not belive we are justified in
thinking that we will have no more
war. We have been an independent
nation for $50 years. We have had
six wars. The first, the Revolution
of 1916. to establish this country:
in 1912 the war to save this coun-
try from Great Britain; in 1S4s with
Mexico to show the world that insult
and aggression from foreign power
would not be tolerated: in 1861 a
family quarrel that cost blood and
treasure before it was settled: in
1898 the Spanish war to wipe out a
stencil at our front door that Offend
ed the nostrils of the world: we
went into the World War to save
the worlds civilization.
The present unsettled conditions
of the world do not Justify us In
neglecting our own protection and
preparing for future trouble. The
Civil War veterans are passing
swiftly: the Spanish War men are
past middle life; what of the World
War boys that are not sleeping on
the plains of France and Belgium
are with us but they will be old in
a few years. So our future depends
on the young people we have with
US. We are justified in teaching
them the lessons of patriotism. They
may need to protect their heritage

FARM PRODUCTS AND FOLKS

When Senator Blease detained
against the aviation bill: I'VE can
live without airplanes: but we cam
not live without eating we think he
was thinking of the political effect
Of his words.
When a representative OF the U. 8.
Department Of Agriculture declares
there are prospects Of an ultimate
fooc famine in the great cities, we
give a little more heed. He supports
his predictions by information sh:h
as this:
Last year $4,000 more persons
left farms for the cities than migrat-
ed from the cities to the farms, g.
100000 abandoned farms whereas
only l,135,000 left the cities for the
farms. In 1924, 100000 left farms
for the city, but 100000 left the
cities for the farm. In 1855, fifty
five out Of every hundred persons in
the United States lived on farms.
We would not conclude from this
that the Government should under
take to substitute agriculture. If 1t
did the railroads and the handlers OF
agricultural products would strive to
secure the additional profits. and
they have shown considerable skill
at that and the employees are now
clamoring to have their good wages
| increased.
It Is no easy matter to determine
| lust what should be done, other thar
to help the farmer to help himself
through cheaper facilities for reach

cate the reduction Of the tariff, fat
