broken when she fell. This Is prob.
ably the first casualty of the kind that
ever occurred. 1t was the more sig
nificant because of the fact that motor
cars had figured in sinister manner in
her career. A number of years ago
her two children were drowned in the
Seine when the motor in which they.
with a nurse, were seated became

into the river. On several occasions
she has been injured in motor acci-

death, ending a life of tragedy and
sorrow.
Isadora Duncan was an artist of ex-

to produce the double crop, means all
the operations of preparing the land,
sowing and harvesting the crop. In a
test by the Ohio Experiment Station,
wheat grown without fertilizer had
only 81 per cent of plump kernels,
while that grown on fertilized soil had
"a per cent plump kernels. Fertilizer,

UP vast areas of new farms.

Eastern farming once faced ruin by
the opening up of the prairie farms
for grain production. 1t could not
meet the competition of the virgin
soil and level fields of the West. Nor
can the East with it's rolling country
ever meet competition in grain raising
in the West where the land is level
and power machinery Especially the
new harvester-thresher) can be sue
cessfully operated. Certain lines of
farming must ever adapt themselves
to the new and newer competition. No
Government relief" will ever save
from destruction the static" farmer
who refuses to adapt himself to such
competition.
II y \
Why, 1t is asked, must the hegira
from farms be measured as a national
calamity showing farm bankruptcy
and there must be farm relief" as if
agriculture were q mendicant?
Conditions show that our farmers
have a real need for relief in the
marketing of staple crops through
comprehensive cooperation and con-
troll. Canada has met the problem as
has no other country in the world. Her
methods are based upon great pools"
of grain which have been developed
within the last four years. Such pools
are already in existence in parts of
the United States and. according to
the Department Of Agriculture, they
are successful and manifest the pos
sibilities of revolutionizing American
farming.

sVen throughout the world.
In the days before rapid transpor-
tatiOn, men were, in the main, re-
stricted to the radius of territory they
could drive over with old Dobbin and
the buggy during daylight.
This slavery to distance threw men
back upon themselves and gave them
individuality.
Now that we are a generation of
gadders, going everywhere, seeing
everything, being affected by every
thing, the towns, the buildings, the
men. the clothes, the customs, and
even the ideas of our time tend to
become everywhere alike.
All this simply because it has be-
come easy to move men and materials
over long distance in a short time.
1t Is heartening to think that the
perfection of the means of transpor-
ton Is turning the world into an in
innate neighborhood, but it will be
too bad il, when we become a neigh
borhood. we discover that we are all
alike.
In such event, we should, fear, be

Tennis.

From the New York Herald Tribune.
A long, hard struggle will be needed
TO regain the Davis Cup. 1t should
stir the ambitions of scores of tennis
youngsters; it will require years of
development and encoura cement, pre-.
cisely as the success of the French
team rested upon years of newly de.
veloped zest for the game. We hope
and believe that the loss of the Davis
Cup and the passing of the .old stars
VIII stir new enthusiasm for this
IN many respects, the swiftest and
keenest of games. In the meantime
we tender our congratulate tions to the
French team upon a deserved victory
gallantly won.

Averting Ill Feeling.

The Tariff Commission has acted
wisely in abandoning its plan to send
commission to Argentina to inves-
tigate the costs of production of
fiaXseed and corn. The information
to be gained by such a step is un-
important compared to risks Of fur
ther endangering relations already
subjected to considerable strain with
in the last few years. Anti-American
sentiment in Argentina is based not
SO much on the diplomatic policy of
the United States as on it's customs
and tariff regulations. Some Of them
have adversely affected Argentine
agriculture, and this effect has been
seized upon and enlarged by a po.
litical group which in Argentina, as
in the United States, makes it's
strongest play by fighting the bat
ties of the farmer. Anything which
affects the farmer, however remote.
ly, is SO magnified in the interest of
politics that 1t becomes a great ma
tional issue. Fighting for the farm.
err against the 'imperialistic" tend
encies of the United States has be-
come a popular pastime.
Several incidents in the recent past
have served to add fuel to the flames
of anti.American sentiment in Ar
gentina. For instance, Argentina

mable color antagonized the Argen-
tine farmers. who protested against
the practice. AS a compromise the
United States ceased dyeing the seed
red and substituted orange. substi-
tuition which was interpreted in Ar
gentina as a victory for her farmers.
Argentina sends some fine grapes to
the United States. A shipment of
grapes was found to be infected,
and the Department of Agriculture
banned them from entry. Argentina
entered another protest, which re-
suited in a victory for the Argentine
farmers when their grapes were al
lowed to enter, provided they passed
rigid inspection. Argentina ships
a small quantity Of beef to the Unit
ed States, although her greatest mar
ket is in England. This beef passes
through an area in Argentina sub.
ject to the foot-and-mouth diseas
and rinderpest. The United States
banned importations of such beef,
and, when Argentina again hotly pro.
tested, conditioned future importation
on the guarantee that beef in ship
ment would not pass through infect
ed areas. This was construed as an
other victory for the Argentine farm
er, although it remains questionable
whether Argentine beef can be
shipped to the United States without
passing through an infected area.
The proposed investigation of corn
and faxseed production prices by an
American Tariff Commission would
have been greeted by distrust and
suspicion, already forecast by intense
feeling in Argentina. Calling off the
investigation will be another victory
for the Argentine farmer, and the
moral victor is always more kindly
disposed toward his enemy, real or
imaginary, than the vanquished.
