Federal Reserve Report Tries to Maintain
Illusion Of Farm Prosperity

is 190,000,0O0 bushels lower than
the crop harvested year ago and
is 310,000,000 bushels below the
five-year average production"
Here, in one paragraph, is revealed
the awful tragedy that has befallen the
farmers of the great corn producing
territory of the Middle West, the re-
purcussions of which have shaken the
administration at Washington and
gave rise to such panaceas as Nc
Nary-Haugenism and other proposals
for government aid to the impoverish-
ed farmers. Last year was one of the
worst of all for the corn states, and
this year is still worse. 1t means that
thousands of farmers could not OBJ
tain credit for seed corn at planting
time and that many acres were not
cultivated at all for the simple reason
that their former inhabitants have
been driven from the land through
the foreclosures of mortgages and
now lie uncultivated because the
mortgage holders are unable to I'M
load the land upon other farmers. Be-
cause of this condition there have
been a large number of bank failures
among the smaller fry, the big bank
ers taking up the paper at their own
prices. The sections of middle-west
cities where employment agencies
abound, called the "slave markets, J"
are haunted by the gaunt forms of
men--many with their families-who
shave spent their lives upon farms
and who, driven from the land, now
seek a livelihood as members of the
ever-growing army of unskilled I'M
employed.
Slight Increase in Wheat.
Wheat, of all grain products, show
ed a slight increase of 28,000,000
bushels for both crops. There was a
decline Of 100000 bushels of win
ter wheat, but it was offset by an es-
timated increase of 103,OO0,000 bush
els Of the spring crop. The increase,
however, is not general but is con-
fined to the three markets of Min
neapolis, New York and San Fran
cisco. Hence the farmers of Iowa and
adjacent states, the center of the corn
crisis, who also raise wheat, were
unable to realize any improvement
in that crop.
Oats showed a reduction of five
per cent from last year and the in
Dictated production is not less than
161, 100000 bushels below the five

Mellon Wedding Is Orgy of
Wealth mid Death and Hunger

description" In other words their
pens and their undoubted talent for
fawning before the affairs of the rich
were not equal to the occasion. The
reporters were awed by the splendor
of the scene and the richness of the
decorations and the barbaric artistry
Of the lighting and the tapestry.
At the very moment the beautifully
gowned women with their well-fed
partners were slipping their wine and
drinking their cocktails in an atmos-
phere of music and song under the
rays of an artificial moon furnished
by the best talent New York could
produce and buy, the miners and their
wives and children were eating crusts
and partaking of food that the Mellon
dogs would turn away from in dis
gust.
The moon that lighted their bar
rem hills was cold and cherries orb
bright enough to enable the women
to see the wan-pinched faces of their
children and the hungry eyes and
drawn facss of their men. Suffering
and sorrow are their own dynamos.
Our social system has decreed that
in order that the Mellon-Scaife pluto
cracy could have a million dollar
wedding $4,000 miners must suffer
and starve; hundred thousand steel
workers must roast and sweat in the
furnaces and mills of Pittsburgh and
Bethlehem.
The dried breasts of the mothers,
the tears and sobs of the children,
the heart throbs of the fathers and
mothers, the blood and bones of the
workers are coined into gold, into silk
trappings and tapestries, into wine
music and song for the Andrew Mel
Ion clan and their retainers and rela.
tives.

PITTSBURGH, New. 10. - Safely
beyond hearing of the dying groans
of the one hundred victims and the
walls of the widows and orphans of
the thirty dead workers killed in the
gas explosion in this city, Sarah Cor
della Mellon, daughter of Richard B.
Mellon and niece of Andrew Mellon,
U. S. secretary of the treasury and
one of the worlds richest men, was
married to Alan Magee Scaife, scion
of another wealthy Pittsburgh family
mid splendor equal to the most gor-
geous scene portrayed in the Arabian
nights tales. The wedding took place
in setting excelling anything ever
conjured by the most barbaric poten-
tate of Oriental or Occidental coun-
tries of ancient or modern times.
While $4,000 Pennsylvania coal
miners are starving, freezing and suf-
fering the terrors of an Irish famine
and the torture of a Valley Forge in
the bleak hills and cold valleys and
in the grimy somber shacks of houses,
the Mellon clan and small army of
Melons plutocratic friends assembled
in a specially constructed pavilion es-
pecially built at cost of over $780,

tions that cost another $150,0O0 the
union of Pennsylvania's two great
plutocratic houses in the persons of
Miss Mellon and Mr.. Scaife, was cele-

fishing boats were lost in storms
News Item.)
Men still go down to the sea in ships
To win their daily bread
And fisherfolk have tight-drawn lips
Amounting for their dead.
The men of Lackan one thick night
Prepared to put to sea,
For fisherfolk know naught of fright
And families fed must be.
The cupboards in the town were bare
And who night could miss
What though the lightning brightly
glare,
What though the ocean hiss.
The warning came. The men said,
"Nay,
We starve unless we go!"
And they were, oh, so poor that day
Who feared no winds that blow.
And boldly then the boats put out
Against the blasting gale,
They went with many merry shout
And gaily Tapping sail.
And so the men of Lackan went
And came not back again,
And now their women's heads are
bent,
, And cupboards bare remain!

There are wide, curtained windows of
plate glass to give you abundant read
ing light by day, and shaded individual
lights above each seat by night, thus
giving you, day or night, freedom from
glare or shadow.
Another feature, which applies to each
car, is the electric heating system, en-
cased in steel, running the full length on
each side of every car, with a thermo-
stat control that keeps the cars, through
out the winter, from being either cold
or uncomfortably warm.
In summer, the swift movement OF the

and 20 ventilators in each train will
keep you cool even on the most humid

- can be made in these days. For when
you get aboard one of the newW. B. & A.
articulated trains, and sink into one of the
richly upholstered and deeply cushioned
chairs, you are about to experience the
quickest, cleanest and most comfortable
way that has yet been made possible to
get from downtown Washington to
downtown Baltimore.
The 'Art" of 'ArticHldtion"
One of the new w. e. Ss A. trains seems
from the outside to be two long cars,
but when you look carefully you will
see that it is really only one very long
unit, comprising two car bodies mounted
on three trucks instead of four. This
means that the noise and vibration and
tendency to sway in fast motion are
reduced to a minimum. And it also
means that you can walk from one sec
ton to another in complete safety,
steadiness and comfort, with no doors
to open and no drafty, dusty vestibules
to 1urch through.

Ripening vegetables and fruits are

It was purchased by the Spanish

likely that the travel distance from
Washington will be a determining
factor. It is beginning to be doubted
whether Mr.. Coolidge will wish to go
more than "a hours from the National
Capital. This is taken to mean north
ern Wisconsin or Michigan, with the
chances favoring the former.
To go farther West means moving
the entire executive office, and even
then the disadvantages being pointed
out to the President by his staff will
not be entirely overcome. The Presi-
dents signature is required on I'M
portant Government documents. There
is routine which cannot be delayed
while the mails carry data back and
forth for two or three days. After
all, most Of the Government machin-
cry keeps on functioning Summer
and Winter, irrespective of whether
the cabinet officers or the President
happen to be away, and the Chief
Executive cannot delegate the sign
ing of his name on most of the docu-
ments which require that signature
to make them Immediately effective.
Wisconsin Advantages Cited.
To reach most of the Wisconsin
places the President can leave Wash
ington in midafternoon and arrive at
his destination the next day in time
