WHY GOVERNMENT PRICE FIN
ING WON'T WORK

One OF the most persistent fallacle:
is government price-fxing on com
petitive commodities. There is al
ready government price-fxing in com
moditles and services where competi
ton plays. no part in price determi
nation. These are railway transpor-
tation, electricity, gas, telephone and
telegraph, and so on. Here govern
ment price-fixing is solely to protect
the consumer. There are two fatal
objections to government price-fixing
for agricultural products, which rep.
resent the most competitive business
in the world. These are, first, that it
will not work; second, that it is al
ways done for the consumer as
against the producer.
Government price-fixing for agricul-
tural products would work if at the
same time the government regulated
wages, profits, middlemen's margins.
the production of all commodities and
the rationing of all consumers. In
short, if the population were enlisted
in one vast army, directed and ra-
toned, price-fxing would work, but
otherwise not. II the price is fixed on
the wheat the farmer sells, then he
cannot keep on producing wheat if
wages or the cost of harvesting ma
chinery rise, or If the cost of other
material he buys rises. So the next
step would be the fixation of other
prices. and yet other prices.
The United States government
fixed the price of wheat but once in
our history, and then it was to benefit
consumers, not producers. The gov
eminent might, in an emergency, fix
some agricultural prices for the pur-
pose of elevating such prices. Such
action would inevitably and speedily
lead to cutlery from city consumers
and consequent reversal of policy.
Indeed, the consumers, not the pro-
ducers, are most likely to demand
and secure food price regulation by
government authorities. The farmer,
therefore, who favors any form of
governmental price-fxing is working
against his own interests. He is put
ting his head into a noose.-James e.
Boyle, Professor of Rural Economics,
Cornell University, in the BGnker-

MOON DOES NOT CAUSE WET
OR DRY WEATHER

One of the commonest and like
wise one of the most unreasonable
weather superstitions, says the
Weather bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture, is
the belief that if the horns of the
new crescent moon tip downward, it
is "wet" moon, portending rain.
The position of the lunar crescent
depends upon the angle that the
moons path makes with the hori-
zon, and on any given date it is
always the same in places having
sign were trustworthy, the same
kind of weather, either dry or
rainy, would prevail on any given
late throughout belt of latitude
extending entirely aroung the globe
OF course there is no such uni
formity of weather in relation to
attitude. In the temperate zones,
where the weather travels from west
o east, the greatest contrasts of wet
md dry weather conditions are
likely to be found along parallels of
latitude rather than meridians of
ongitude.
Near the Equator the position of
he young moon never makes an
lngle of more than 80 degrees with
the horizon, and it is generally in an
ven more nearly horizontal posi-
ion, so that in part of the world
notorious for regions of heavy rain
all, the moon is, according to the
roverb, always a dry one. The
final absurdity is the case of the
crescent moon as seen from the
iorth and south poles, where it is
always what the proverb describes
as wet" for at those places the
line joining the tips of the crescent
always makes an angle of less than
20 degrees to the vertical; yet the
polar regions are characterized by
little precipitation in the form of
ain and snow that they rank among
Inc arid regions of the globe.

FIGHT FOR CIRCULATION

The fight among the afternoon
papers for underworld approval and
circulation goes on fiercely and
people are talking about it which, OF
course, is something to those doing
the fighting. When the Evening
Sun-paper was started by Charles H.
Grasty it took over the evening
World which was read more in the
underworld than the upper. Mr..
'Grasty, however, never catered to the
underworld element and in fact often
antagonized that element in the
community
Since Hearst came to Baltimore,
however, the Evening Sun-paper has
been making special effort to get
underworld approval, and to that
end has been catering to the boot
eggers and professional gamblers to
marked degree, probably to stall
off Hearst paper circulation gains.
But in recent weeks the Hearst
papers have been going the limit in
catering to the criminal and near
criminal element and this week the
-top was reached when the News
anne out with pictures of shroud
and other Announcements connected
with the approaching exit of Bandit
Whittemore. OF course the Hearst
effort was for the purpose of enlist
ing the sympathy and support-of the
lawbreaking class in the community
)y trying to make martyr OF the
red handed bandit whom it endear-
ngly called the +" Candy Kid"
The Scripps paper made its effort
ior underworld support by employing
The bandit to write his "reminiscences
but didn't make a great success OF it,
SO it remained for the Hearst editors,
still unincarcerated, to make the
final bid by coming out with the
Ihroud pictures and giving Baltimore
thrill. This achievement left
nothing much for the Evening Sun
paper to blubber over except the
poor bootleggers and gambling house
keepers, of whom Baltimore has
surely enough.
Which paper is getting the best of
he worth while circulation we can
lot undertake to say, but there is no
loubt that The News by publishing
is crime charts showing the best
way to commit burglaries, murders
and other crimes has done a great
leal for the education of the young
n Baltimore. While the Evening
sun-paper is doing all it can to pro
ect bootleggers and their ilk it has
allen down on the job of giving in
itructions. Its enterprise is of the
post norton kind. The Post, too,

speakers who have been secured for
the special program which Will
feature the rural life conference for
ministers to be held at the Univer-

The conference will be the final
feature of the rural life school for
ministers which has been in progress

According to DR.. H. j. Patterson,
dean of the College Of Agriculture,
the conference will not be confined
to those enrolled for the regular
course of lectures but will be open
to ministers and their families from
all parts of the state and to interest
ed laymen as well.
Plans have been made to entertain

All farm legislation was defeated
in the Congress just now enjoying Its
recess. The Western agriculturists
are very wroth just at present
at the way the big business interests
of the East dictated to the Admin
istration, but will probably forget all
about it by the time election day
rolls around, and line up the tariff
crowdtas usual
Habit been the manufacturers and
other s"big business" interests de-
manding the enlistment of some
measure in their interest, instead OF
the farmers, does anybody imagine
the particular measure, whatever it
rolls around, and line up with the
tariff crowd as usual.
If the farmer wants to retaliate let
him strike at the tariff, that en-
riches a few, and compells him tc
pay two or three times what he
should for almost everything he
buys, and then listen to the how
that will go up.
The Farm Bureau is not held in
the same fear by the Administration
as is the manufactures and big
business.

From the number of candidates in
the field, whose names will go before
the voters at the primaries on
September IA, it is apparent there
are bound to be numerous sore spots
left in both parties, and harmony is
likely to be thing conspicuous for
it's absence at the general election in
November. In fact, harmony is not
reigning supreme in either party in
State or county at the present time.
Personal and factional jealousies
seem to be thriving on all sides, and
indications are that both primary and
general election will be decidedly
warm contests.

DIR. SUNSHINE,

am mere as messenger from
my friend, DR.. Sunshine" the Health
| Gnome remarked, as he blew in
through the open window at the
State Department of Health, and
settled down on the desk of the
| Chief of the Bureau of Child
Hygiene for a conference. I've a
bunch of Sunshine prescriptions" he
remarked, ''for babies and the little
kids. and it wouldn't hurt the
grown-ups to take some of the same
medicine.
But the wee babies, those only
two or three months old, are my
particular charge, today, and this
prescription will help to prevent
ricketts,, that disease of the bones
that gives them bowlegs, knock
knees, pigeon breasts. and causes
other deformities and illnesses.
This prescription says Give the
baby sunbath every sunny day.
but as a baby's skin is tender, you
have to be very careful not to give
him an overdose of anything as
powerful as sunlight.
$50 it goes ION to say Begin with
very small doses And the direc-
tons are to put the baby in his
carriage or in his kiddie coop,
screened from flies and mosquitoes.
on the porch or out of doors where
he will be protected from the wind
"Then it says, Always screen the
baby's eyes from the direct sun
light. Uncover the baby's hands
and arms and let the sun shine on
them for five minutes. Then an
other five minutes on the feet and
legs. Covering the legs, let it
shine on the chest; just for five
minutes, mind you; and then on the
back. Try this twice day for
week. You can tell whether the
sun is soaking in and helping the
baby by the gradual tanning of the
skin. After the skin begins to be
tanned the baby can have an all
over sun bath of twenty to thirty
minutes once or twice a day without
getting sunburned'
The Health Gnome consulted the
slip he had taken out of his little
green cap and that was marked with
the Rx that decorates every orthodox
prescription. 1T also says" he con-
tinued, that at this time of the year
the sunbaths should be given be-
tween eight and eleven in the morn
ing; and if a second bath is given
after three in the afternoon. Els
pecial care Should be taken to keep
the baby in the shade between
eleven and three when the sun is
highest and hottest.
1.-The sun baths will not only help
the bones to grow straight and
strong but they help the skin and
muscles to get frmer and more
resistant to disease. Grown-ups are
suppose to have a lot of common
sense, so of course they will under
stand that they have to shorten the
time when it is intensely hot, or is
suddenly very cool.
you just ought to see how much |
good the sunbaths do to older
kiddies,' he went on. But they |
have to be gotten used, to them
gradually, too. And by the way
little bathing trunks are as good for
sunbaths as for sea baths. Best of
all, the little kids can keep them on

While the stomach Of the COW Is
the only true guide on what given
ration will do for that cow, there are
certain characteristic elements that
every good dairy ration possesses, ac-
cording to the Institute. In the first
place, the ration should contain a
variety of foods. It should be bulky
and 1t should be palatable. But In the
selection Of his ration the dairyman
who mixes his own feed is at disad-
vantage to the dairyman using ready
mixed ration. There is wide range
of difference in the analysis Of the In
gradients or even different lots of the
same ingredients that go into the max
ing Of dairy ration, and it's not I'M
common for the same dairyman's mix
ture to work out one week and be
failure the next. On the other hand,
