JARDINE SAYS
FARMER TO GET
BETTER Times
Annual Report of Secre-
tary Contains Many Sug-
gestiOns to Aid Crops.
Ey JOSEPH S. WAsNEY
United Press Staff CorreSpondent)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Rctter
times for farmers were predicted
today by Secretary of Agriculture
.fardinc in his annual report.
Pointing out that the farmers dol
lar now has a buying power only
eight percent below the pre-war lev
el, Jardine outlined specific ideas for
continuing improvement of the farm
er $ lot.
lie favored extension of cooperat.
i've marketing, urging a statute for
large farm business organizations,
owned and controlled by farmers and
managed by strong executives choa-
cn by the producers.
He opposed government participa
ton in farm business, and especial
ly opposed governmental price fix
ing.
He favored a federal farm board
to protect both farmers and the pub
lie s interests and advocated long
term mortgage credits for farmers.
The states, he said, could aid ma-
t'rially in putting agriculture on a
firmer basis by correcting certain
tanking, taxation and public expen-
d!ture practices. In this connection,
he noted that many sections are
"over banked,' leading to banl;
failures and consequent bankruptcy
for some farmers.
He advised a change in present
tariffs and counsellcd alterations to
relieve the agriculturist of some on
crous tax burdens.
Jardine also emphasized that aid
other than financial could be given
the farmer so his net income would
increase. Public agencies for in
stance, could cooperate with the
farmer to achieve a better balance
between production and demand.
Urges Less Waste
Efforts should be made,' he
said, ''to diminish waste, to lessen
margins between producers and con-
sumers prices, to reduce transporta-
tion and distribution costs and to
lessen the farmers overhead charg,
es by lowering or redistributing tax
burdens by improving agriculture
credit facilities.
''Farmers should be encouraged
to enhance their bargaining power
through cooperative marketing and
the responsibility of the public in
helping to reduce price Fluctuations
due to unavoidable gluts and short
ages of agriculture products should
be recognized in a practical man
ner.'
Concerning cotton, Jardine said,
from the standpoint of price, the
Improvement has been remarkable
and it is estimated that should cot
ton continue at the present level, re-
turns to farmers for lint alone will
exceed by about $3.50, 100000 the in
come from last year s crop"

Family Affairs.

One of the cute tricks for which the
modern girl is noted is that of openly
and frankly criticizing her family.
Ethel is a striking instance of the
smarty.cat damsel who hasn't the
slightest appreciation of the people
who have worked all their lives to
give her the luxuries she enjoys today.
She makes fun of everything about
her father and mother.
She makes sarcastic comments while
her mother is talking in the presence
of friends. Understand, she doesn't
do these things because she dislikes
her parents. Far from it, She likes
them all right, but she thinks it's
rather clever holding them up to
ridicule.
She honestly believes that she strikes
rather an amusing note when she
freely discloses all the details Of fam.
lily affairs.
1t would startle her to know what
a poor rating her little habit gives
her.
She doesn't dream that the gay, ire.
sponsible crowd she runs around with
condemn her for her lack of loyalty
TO her family.
It's a funny thing, but no matter
how hard boiled and cynical we may
have pretty strong ideas about patri-
otism and loyalty to ones own.
And the girl who airily takes sides
against her own family doesn't win
admiration.
People may laugh at her stories, but
they're chalking up a black mark
against her while they're laughing.
After all. they must say to them
selves: IF she's got no more loyalty
than that in her system. what kind of
wife is she going to make? How long
will she stick up for her husband?
There's nothing in her one can de-
pend on. If she talks about those
nearest to her-surely she'll never
hesitate to talk about her friends"
And SO the little damsel who loves
to air family affairs goes her way,
making a bad impression. and des-
perately striving to be funny.
No one of you will ever make friends
by laughing at your family. You'll
get laugh-and an unfavorable ver-
dict from the jury.
Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries
directed to this paper. provided stamped
addressed envelope is inclOsed.

A Lesson in Waiting.

NJ RS. BASSETT sat at the win
M dow Of her room in the XIV
wv ington Hotel pretending to
Il read a magazine. In reality
she was crying in repressed
little way, squeezing back the tears as
long as she could. and when there was
an. overflow wiping them off each
cheek with little dabs of handker'
chief that was steadily becoming
soppier. ~
She was pretty woman OF 80.
girlishly slight, fair and .dalntily
tinted Her tailored skirt of dark blue
medora was without crease, her I'm
gerie blouse fresh and exquisite. Her
only ornaments We're her wedding ring
and a noticeable solitaire and small
platinum wrist watch on gray silk
band. At the present moment she
hated the precious little gift which
her husband had made her barely six
weeks before on her birthday because
it reminded her that he had forgotten
her now when she most wished to be
remembered.
1t was 2:30 and he had promised
to come back with the car at 2 and
take her to matinee, which must
just now be beginning. 1t was very
special sort of matinee. She had been
reading about it in the city paper
that came to her village for days
before Bruce had told her that he
happened to have business in town
that day and they would take in the
show. He had dutifully purchased
tickets that morning when they ar.
rived and had then brought her to
| the Rivington and engaged rooms.
for, after all, he had thought it best
not to try to return home that night.
Elsie had done a bit of delightful
shopping, lunched to music with her
| husband and had seen him depart
| for the appointment with his man."
| believing that he would return at 2
promptly. For although Bruce some
| times forgot to keep his word, this
was an important occasion and she
| felt she could trust him. SO she had
let him carry away the tickets in his
| breast pocket.
IF had them I'd go without him, :"
she thought holly. I'D call taxi
and go. If he does come | will tell
| him just what I think Of him.
There was a sound at the door. She
sprang to her feet, dropping her maya
zine in rush Of hope that he had
| come at last, but as she ran forward,
| intent on opening the door, she found
woman who had entered by means of
a key of her own.
Mrs. Bassett's disappointment was
so manifest that the little elderly
woman could not fail to observe it.
Il guess you'll have to excuse me,
ma am" she said respectfully But
it's my regular time to clean the bath
! rooms on this corridor"
That's all right" Mrs. Bassett
turned her back. picked up her maga
F., zine and returned to her chair.
| The woman. laden with her bucket
! Of tools, disappeared into the bath
room and Mrs. Bassett began to hear
! sounds of violent restoration.
| Suddenly her need for somebody to
| talk to became so excessive that she
arose and went to the bathroom door.
The woman was down on her knees
polishing the linoleum-and looking,
as Mrs. Bassett thought with amaze
ment, for all the world like Mrs. Ar
thur McCracken back home. only Mrs.
McCracken would be wearing black
silk with dingle-dangl Of jet instead
