Use Idea as Warehouse

Our ability to do things rests on
our ability to live together, be or
derby and to act in concert.
Education consists in going to a
warehouse and borrowing what other
men have learned.
Efficiency consists in putting what
we have borrowed to good use.
The world made little Roadway in
gaining knowledge until men were
able to preserve and exchange ideas.
For this reason the alphabet has
been described as the greatest in
vention ever made.

jobs and drawing the salary of one

position is not job but that pays salary and
as result he has the right to hold to both CT
them.
That is the view at present, but any one who
can read back of the lines probably sees as Mr..

be closed following the election in 1923 and he is
taking the opportunity Of landing place that will

another a mono
logue winner known on the records
as Cohen" and another is both a
singer and a sort of a master of
ceremonies. The program offered
has class and merit as well as gen.
eral appeal. Their program is we'll
balanced. The work of the quartet,
especially in the spiritual number,
has that quality which registers with
the greatest popular ease. James
Stanley, while singing his solo, 1.-THE
Blind Plowman," displays a voice of
great beauty. Henry Burr receives
an ovation every time that he walks
upon the stage, and so it is to be
expected that he stops the act with
his tenor solos. Billy Murray has a
comedy song Of novelty. 1t is called
Whisper Song" Here is a Publix
presentation which is different.
The movie feature, "The Heart of
Maryland" will appeal to those who
have both heard Of Mrs. Leslie Car
ter in the role as we'll as to those
who saw her play Maryland Calvert
over thirty years ago.
So as not to confuse you, Mrs.
Carter is not in the movie version.
Mrs. Carter has aged, and it would
be some job for her to hang onto
the clapper of a church bell so as
to prevent an alarm being given.
Dolores Costello is the Maryland
Calvert in the movie, and she does
beautiful job of it. The entire
action Of the story takes place just
prior to the Civil War and during
the time Of that struggle.
The director has wisely refrained
from any battle scenes and the story
hinges together in a neat manner
1t is necessary that both the heart
interest and suspense be kept going
all the time and the director has
accomplished both items.
Charles Edward Bull plays the

What the Farmer Knows

Federal Farm Loan Commissioner Eugene Meyer
isn't very popular with great many farmers
They think he's too much of "cty feller"; toe
sympathetic with the viewpoint of Eastern banking
interests.
Ofhand that seems a little silly. With American
agriculture needing some business sense about as
much anything else it would seem that the farm
ought to admire businessman Meyer and be hope
full of his leadership
But there are some things about farming which
the farmers understand, and which there's reason to
believe Mr. Meyer doesn't which contribute to farmer
dislike Of the loan commissioner
Mr.. Never recently predicted that this year will
increase of $1ooo0o00oo in the American farm
income.
That ought to have cheered the farmers much. 1t
seems they should have thanked Meyer for the good
news which was broadcasted from coast to coast.
But they didn't Instead most Of them coolly re-
marked that he didn't know what he was talking
about.
And if the United States department of agricul-
ture is any judge he didn't know exactly
AS representatives of the department wisely ex-
plain there two factors which determine the farm
ers income One is the price he gets for his products
The other is the amount he has to sell.
High prices at this time of year prove almost
nothing about the farmers prosperity That conclu-
SION must walt until the crops are harvested and sold.
AT present, according to the agricultural depart
ment it's impossible to tell how the American farm
ers will fare this year. There are certain rough in
dications-some favorable some unfavorable-but the
won't be known with any accuracy for another
critical month or six weeks
During that time the farmer will gamble with the
weather. And if the weather is good and crops ma
ture well, then there's the question of the market
price.
Before the final returns in most anything can
happen, in the opinion of agriculture department
forecasters
The farmers know that, and consequently don't
take kindly to glowing forecasts Of an uncertain
future.
1t represents they think, essential misunder-
standing of the great gambling game played by the
American farmers which doesn't help in their efforts
to have the odds against them reduced

Its beginnings are to be found on

patch, and its development is to be
traced through a multitude Of ma

CLASS WILL TELL

Superior quality, condition and
package Of Washington apples has
allowed the grower to put his fruit in
eastern markets in competition with
other regions in spite of the distance
handicap, George H. Fredell, assistant
economist with the State College ex-
pertinent station, contends in his re-
cent bulletin, "Carlot Distribution of
Washington Apples"
However, as other producing
regions become more proficient in the
cultural practices and methods of the
northwest apple grower, better east
ern product will be grown which will
offer greater competition to the Pacific
northwest states," he declares.
Confronted with hight costs OF
production, high transportation costs
and increasing competition from other
producing regionst the growers of the
northwest must maintain and further
develop the superiority of their product
in the mind Of the consuming public"
says Mr.. Fredell. Theirs is a COM
paratively specialized quality product,
fairly well standardized, which lends,
itself to an advertising campaign with
promise of great results that can be
obtained from merely advertising
apples in general.
"The limits of the markets of Waa1-
ington apples have not been reached
and work should be carried on to
develop new markets and stimulate
new demands. Such developments Of
markets and demand creation is toe
big takSs for one grower to undertake
but should be the work of the industry
as whole" sl .l5 \. ~
