URGES JOINING 0F SOUTH AND WEST To Refresh Politics and Boost
 Farming

Williamstown, Mass. Aug. ? CP.- An agricultural and political alli- ance between the south and west as a solution of the farmers difficult ties was advocated before the Insti- tute. of Politics today by Dr. Charles A. Beard, economist.
 Personally" said Dr. Beard, ad- dressing round table discussion on agriculture, II hope the new con- federation may be effected. It would be good for the country and give politics refreshing tone, even if it made the veterans of 1898 take to their tents in consternation."
 Discussing the McNary- -Haugen farm relief bill, he said the measure might not improve the lot Of the farmer, but might help as much as wearing cowboy brooches and fishing with worms in western waters"
 He said he was not passing judg- ment on the McNary-Hugen bill, but said most of the arguments against it seem to me to apply also to the economic and juristic devices of cap- italism.''
 TO call it paternalistic and then turn around and supply a merchant marine to shippers, protective tariff to manufacturers and military and naval protection to any one who tries to make money in China. Haiti or Nicaragua. is to dissolve the show in comedy"
 Dr. Beard characterized the bill an experimental adventure, but de- clared Ito draw a long face and weep over risk of few hundred { dollars on the part of the federal government and at the same mo- ment spend several times that amount extending and protecting the market of manufa cturers is to invite the laughter of the spirit of Olympus"
 He said that if the disorganiza- ton and disadvantages of the , farmer prevail for another hundred years, nine-tenths of America will live in industrial cities depending upon foreign trade for their liveli- hood, while farming will pass main y illtC lllC- Aoll4o VI l1iS NciOASu races.
 The contact of our people with nature," he said, will be limited largely to contact with the golf course, the summer boarding house and the cowboy moving picture show"
 The supreme task of contempor- ary statesmen declared Dr. Beard, is the coordination of agriculture and industry in the interest Of bal anced economy"
 He offered the following three. basic remedies: Increased inheri- tance and income taxes; organiza- ton of the farmers for cooperative determination or areas to be plant ed disposal of the surplus and dis tribution of benefits and costs; re- traction of the policy of pro-Amer- jeans who invest abroad to obtain higher rates of interest.

FRENCH WAR ACE ID HOP OFF TO TURKEY
Captain Would Wing Way Over Six Countries

New York, August R-With completion of preliminary tests of the monoplane Old Glory for it's projected nonstop flight to Rome, plans have ben disclosed for another nonstop flight with Constantinople as its objective.
 Captain Rene Fonck. French war ace, whose attempted take-off on a flight across the Atlantic last Sep tember ended in disaster, will at tempt the 5,100 mile hop to Con- stantinople instead of the $500 mile flight to Paris
 Indications were that the plane in which Lloyd W. Betraud and J. D. Hill hope to fly to Rome would be ready next week, although Be- traud declined to predict when the take-off would be made.
 Captain Fonck, with Lieutenant L. w. Curtin. U. s. N.. plans to start from Roosevelt Field within & few weeks in a sikorsky plane that Is nearing completion in the factory at College Point. N. Y.
 Fonck returned here last April, bringing with him two Bristol Jupi- , ter motors for the plane. Fonck has not made public his proposed desti- nation, but that Constantinorle is the goal was revealed by persons close to his packers. Progress on his new plane has reached the stage where test flights will be started next week.
 The tentative route for the Con- stantinople flight will take the plane over Ireland and across the corners Of France, Germany, Austria. Rou- mania and Bulgaria.
 Preliminary trials included q speed test with the plane loaded to a gross weigth of 1000 pounds. The ship averaged 100 miles an hour and Betraud said it functioned per fectly. Loaded for the flight to Rome, the plane will weigh 12,ooo pounds.
 The plane has been planed in her hangar. where it will remain for two days while the propellers are balanced and the tanks and feed pipes are gone over.

CoMEBoDY had cut q desk in
~ the classroom. The teacher,
whom he hated, glared at Tom
and asked him point blank IL he
had cut that desk.
Yes, I cut it." the boy answered.

lar for the damage" stated the
teacher in a tone that enraged
the boy.
So Tom arose with exasperating
calmness. took his one hard-earned
dollar from his pocket and handed
1t to his enemy with the air of q
millionaire.
You stole that dollar or you
wouldn't have it," declared the
hateful teacher.
With that Tom took two steps
forward and told that man that
he was a. blankety-blank liar.
After which he got his cap and
walked out of the room.
That's all right for you"
shouted the peeved little man.
I'll expel you! I'll expel you"
Which showed just how shriv.
eled and spiteful his spirit was.
He wanted revenge for a personal
affront. The boys future played
no part in his scheme Of things.
That night Tom ran away from
home. He stayed away until
he was ragged and hungry. Then
he came dragging back. He had
a black eye in the little town by
that time, and even his home
folks expected the worst of him.

boy, looking him straight In the

Can you work." asked the
president.
Yes sir," sang out Tom.
We'll, / have about six or eight
other boys in your same fix. They
have more hours against them
than they can ever walk off. The
walls in the auditorium need a
new coat. You take that crew and
calcimine the auditorium and we'll
square your account. !"
Now, the auditorium was huge
hall. But as soon as his classes
were over Tom gathered his crew
every day for two weeks and went
to work.
And they did the best job of
calcimining ] ever saw" the presi-
dent told Toms father later.
The next month Tom was made
sergeant.
That boy Is a leader, he is no
buck private" the president told
his subordinate. Push him for all
he is worth"
Last June Tom graduated with
honors. Later he went to q citi-
zens' training camp where he re-
ceived a medal that meant highest
praise from the military depart
ment at Washington. He was
also made a noncommissioned Of
ficer in the United States Army.
