FARMER FEARS
HE IS ON. ROAD
TO PEASANTRY

CHICAGO, Dec. S, P)-The farm
er fears he is on. the downward road
to peaSantry, and wonders why he
should stick to the pillow and hold
his children to a calling stigmatized
everywhere, declared William E. Dodd,
| before the American Farm Bureau
Federation today.
with an unprecedented tariff for
industrial men, a steadying banking
law for financial interests, a rams
portation act for railroads, and an
immigration law for labor, the farm
erS think themselves crowded out OF
the house of their fathers" said Pro-
fessor Dodd, who is a member of the
history department OF University Of
Chicago
1.-TWO million Of them have aban-
doned their callings the last six
years. The condition of the small
home owning farmer is worse than it
has ever been. He received a little
more than a dollar a bushel for
, wheat and the city consumer pays
10 cents pound for bread. He re-
ceives two or three dollars a barrel
for apples and the consumer pays
from 10 to is dollars barrel. He
receives 10 cents a pound for pork
on the hoof while the consumer pays
soc a pound for bacon.
"The margin is too great. Some
thing is radically wrong
"If the tariff is lowered, the cities
must suffer. If the railroads be. re-
uuired to lower their rates, railway
labor will strike If the banks be
regulated for social purposes, business
men will make loud protest. IT COM

ORGANIZATIONS be put under control,
the cry of bolshevism arises.
"If farmers seek to help themselves,
it is socialism.
"a serious problem, and it be-
hooves statesmen to solve it or for
felt their claims on the people"
Among the matters being con-
sidered by the resolutions committee
/ for approval of the ninth annual
meeting of the farm bureau were
flood prevention, Muscle Shoals, the
Boulder dam project, and the NC
Nary-Haugen measure, vetoed at the
! last session of congress by President
Coolidge. AS to the latter measure
members said, reelection Of Sam H
Thompson, president OF the bureau,
would indicate the organization would
put all its force behind passage OF
the bill in this session OF congress;
over the presidents veto if neces-
sary. No candidates have been men
toned thus far for the presidency

the issue of their final right to their

Smith-Vare opponents asserted they
had the votes to defeat such sub
stitute proposals, and to put through
the original Norris resolutions under
which the seats would be declared
vacant at once and, the way thus
paved for the appointment OF thell
successors by the state governors
pending the next general elections n
the two states.
Should supporters of the Norris
resolution lose their fight, they are
ready to counter with an amendment
under which the oaths would be
denied pending a further investigation
by the special campaign funds COM
mittee, thus taking the cases out
of the hands of the PRIVILEGES and
elections committee, which, however
is charged with hearing the contest
brought against Ware by his demo-
cratic opponent, William b. Wilson
former secretary of labor.
After setting forth the expenditure
of large sums of money in the pri-
mary campaigns of both Smith and
Ware, the Norris resolutions declare
that such expenditures a-e con,
trary tc sound public policy, harmful
to the dignity and honor of the
senate, dangerous to the perpetuity
of free government"
This is the exact language used
in an amendment to the resolution
approved by the senate nearly five
years ago confirming Truman Fl
Newberry Of Michigan in his seac
This language was framed by Senator
Willis, republican, Ohio, in the midst
of the Newberry fight and at a time
when it was apparent that a vote
or two would decide that long and
bitterly fought contest.
With reference to Siath, the reso-
luton set forth that of total of

In both resolutions, Norris points
out extensive HEARINGS had been had

maries; that both Smith and Ware
were heard at length, together with
their campaign managers, and that
neither had "controverted the facts
adduced."

Sailing Paper Boats,
Great Poets Caprice

Whenever Shelley, the great English
poet, caught sight of body of water
he could not resist the temptation to
make paper boats, which he would
then launch, watching their progress
with great interest until they capsized
or drifted to shore again. He would
remain rooted to the spot until all his
paper was exhausted and he could
make no more boats. AS 1t was his
custom to take a book along with him
on his walks, the fly-leaves Of most of
his books were missing.
To what lengths he went to indulge
himself in this favorite pastime may
be judged from the story told concern
ing the day he found himself on the
bank of the Serpentine without any
paper, having exhausted his supply on
the pond in Kensington gardens. The
only piece of paper he could lay his
hands on was a ESQ note. He
struggled with temptation for a long
time, but yielded at last. Twisting
the note with great care and dexter
ity, he committed it to the water,
watching, to be sure, its progress with
even more intense anxiety than usual.
Fate was kind, and in due time the
little craft was waited to the oppo-
site shore, where the owner was al
ready waiting its arrival with bated
breath.-Market for Exchange.

Modern Hymn Writers
Fail to "Tdke Hold"

Hymn writing, says the New York
Evening Post, seems to have become
a lost art. Down to the early eighties
practically all Of our most beautiful
and cherished hymns had been COM
posed and churchgoers were as ia
miliar with their hymnal as Gospel
hymns Nos. /, 2 and 8" as they were
with the three Rs or the catechism.
With the introduction of jazz and
blues into our secular musical life
composers of hymns, especially for
evangelistic services, wrote somewhat
in that manner. Not unlike many of
the songs written for the moment,
these soon lost favor. The old hymns,
however, still retain their inspiration
and charm. Such authors as Fanny
Crosby, Ira D. Sankey and others who
wrote these "immortals" will always
be revered by those whom they have
comforted. Just as our song writer's
swing around the circle, we may again
produce writers Of sacred music who
will compose hymns similar to those
of a half century ago.

Eskimos Not Worried

North Greenland might well be de-

It is a region practically without laws;

There is nothing that corresponds to

In such circumstances it seems
strange that Eskimo women are
among the most devoted parents in
the world. If c separation occurs, the
children always go with the mother.
This arrangement, as may be mag
med, leads to interminable cOmplica-
tions, but, in spite of it all every one

Shakespeare an Italian?

An Italian professor, Paladino, has
lust written a monograph to support
his view that Shakespeare was born
in Italy of Protestant parents and
was called Michael Angelo Florio. He
argues that Shakespeare was the au-
thor of a volume Of verse called
Second Fruits" which came under
the ban of the Roman church. In
consequence of this religious oppo-
sltion Shakespeare then fed to Eng
land where he set up in business as
a playwright. In support Of this the
ory Professor Paladino quotes pass
ages of Second Fruits which he
finds given in full in Hamlet.-Man-

Patterns of Beauty

There is a certain pattern of charm
and beauty which consists in a GER
tain relation between our nature q.
and the thing which pleases us. Every
thing formed on this pattern pleases
US, whether 1t be a house, song, dis
course, poetry, prose, woman, birds,
rivers, trees, rooms, dress, etc. Any
thing not according to this pattern
displeases those who have good taste.
There is a perfect relation be-
tween a song and a house which are
made on a good pattern, because they
are like this good pattern, though
each after its kind.-Pascal

the species of which are known

they are more like the jays. Their
most prominent external character is
