She would soon find out that permit
ting every Dick, Tom and Harry rails
ing crops for an imaginary market
would not be practicable. Having
estimated the necessary need of pro-
ducts to be raised, she would, with
the help of experts, analyze the soil
as to practibility of crops and with
relation to markets. In control of
most of the farm land by foreclosure
Of mortgages she could guarantee a
reasonable price and, backed by law,
tell the farmer to go to work Her
next move might be to place all
transportation by land and sea unGer
one head. Getting hot under the col
lar by this time, she might turn back
to the cities and towns for a grand
cleanup. In control of the chain
stores, banks, ETC., she could freeze
out all useless service. The result of
this might be astonishing. The enor-
nous amount of released labor would
force her Immediately not only to re-
call all children and elderly workers
employed in all industries, but to
shorten the hours of work consider
ably, the children to be sent to school
and the elders, with the thanks of the
nation for service done, to be handed
a generous pension.
Do l hear some doctors and law
yers grumble? What was to become
OF them? In the first place, all OBJ
JectiOns would be useless, as by this
time the Chambers of Commerce
would have about 120 millions of peo-
pie behind them. In the second place,
the former, real doctors, were paid
a sufficient salary and would be in
terested mostly in keeping people in
the best of health. AS to the latter,
such as are now passing time with
real estate booms, oil bubbles OF
shutfllng commas and eye-dots, they
could re started to do invaluable ser
vice by keeping accounts of all doings
OF the nation. The few hoodlums and
plck-pockets who did not quit their
trade in disgust would be rounded up
and forced to work under guardian
ship until they either reformed or
died. Under such conditions we
might have an exchange similar to
our postoffice, conducted for service
only.
What possibilities Turk here in the
shadows to be exposed to sunlight.
No man need to crawl around as a
hypocrlte; but all could bodily and
honestly look everybody else in the
eye. Our newspapers, now steeped
IN the human sewer and stewed up
with nonsense, would become a veri-
table flower garden. Professor and
teacher could talk straight from the
shoulder. Baseball games would be-
come real, honest sport again. Rep
resentatives of the people, instead of
being victims of auction sales, could
attain heights as leaders of progress.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP
By LAURENCE TODD. FederatedPress.

Hopes that the American govern
ment would prevent an armed clash
in China between the Chinese and
the foreigners who have exploited
the Chinese were dashed when secre-
tary Kellogg's long-delayed state
ment of policy was made public.
This statement does not recognize
the Canton nationalist government.
1t offers no plan for prompt negotia-
tons to end the special privileges of
the foreigners.
1t processes friendship for China,
and sympathy for the "nationalistic
awakening" of that country. 1t de-
clares that the American government
welcomes every advance made by
the Chinese people toward reorganiz-
ing their system of government. y But
it does not mention the present revo-
luton, nor in any way indicate that
there exists a government outside of
Picking.
Meanwhile the armies of the Ma
tionalist government are moving on
Shanghai, the New York of the orr
ent. Revolts inside that city are an
ticipated, as the population is over
whelmingly sympathetic with the rev
olution. Great Britain is sending q
modern army of 10000 men to Shang-
hal on the pretext of guarding Brit
ish subjects and their property. Ad-
miral Williams, commanding the
American fleet of AZ ships, is al
Shanghai. The international settle
ment in which the Americans, Brit
ish and thousands of other foreign
ers are located is not a concession
but Chinese territory.
Toward the close of his statement
the secretary says: "The government
of the United States is ready now
to continue the negotiations. The
only question is with whom it shall
negotiate. However, existing trea.
ties which were ratified by the U. S
senate cannot be abrogated by the
president but must be superseded by
new treaties negotiated with some
body representing China and subse
quently ratified by the u. S. senate
So Kellogg, backed by the Coolidge
cabinet, puts an impossible condition
up to the Chinese, refusing to dea
with the Nationalist as the one gov
eminent in the country. Chinese Ma
tionalist opinion is disappointed, anC
Chinese resentment stimulated by the
latest Kellogg pronouncement.

Washington-(FP)- Organized la
Dor, seeing the impossibility of get
ting enacted any of its chief pend
ing measures, is enlisted with the
western farm group and the anti-im-
perlallst forces to call the new con-
gress IN special session.
In the 10th congress will sit a
largely increased proportion of rep
resentatives and senators pledged to
support various labor measures. The
senate will be particularly favorable.
The farmers demend not merely a
farm relief measure, which has been
denied them for the past four years,
but they want congress to take ac-
ton on Muscle Shoals, so that cheap
fertilizer or cheap electric power can
be furnished the southern states from
the government plant.

labor unions under the antitrust
laws. The clause will be put back by

Gentlemen:
Those using Coleman's lamps find
that the generator will clog with
carbon. The company recommends a
new generator.
| have found that if you boil your
generator in vinegar, take the tip
off and blow out the generator with
your pump lamp. Take the gener-
ator through which you can pump
alr. This has to be done by taking
the generator out of the boiling vine
gar. Use one that air can be pumped
through easily. Then clean the tip
II nothing else take a very fine need
lie and drill from the inside till the
point of the needle is barely through
be careful not to make the tip-hole
TOO big. If so take a tip from an
other generator till you hit it right
Inns will make your lamp just a.
good as brand new generator. bu'
IL is OF no use to clean many genera
tors and put them aside for the IL,
ture except you boil them again ana
put them on at once and put on Inc

try it out at the same time you pun
a newly cleaned generator on your
lamp again.

EXCHANGE OR TRADE
WITHOUT PROFIT
Editor, Producers News.

Editor, Producers News.
Could such an exchange or trade
be made effective? 1t may, built on
a scientific foundation and backed by
determined organization. But the
farmer can never hope to succeed in
this unless he co-operates with other
industrial labor. The farmer, as a
class, has become mostly a producer
of raw material, of which finishing
process he has no more control, but
has gone to an industry of itself. He
may abandon all hope of ever gain
ing control of this industry by own
ershlp. In the insecurity of our pro-
fit (capitalistic) production, the man
ufacturing industry has the advant-
age of a certain flexibility and orga-
nlzatiOn, in which agriculture is far
behind. The former is able to adjust
Itself to a rising and falling market;
the latter has to take a years chance.
In one case it may be true that "the
farmer feeds them ALL" But, is that
his aim? Is, for instance, an APPLE
growers association, which has sold
"a boat-load of apples, concerned if
the boat sinks and the sharks eat the
apples? Or, would a keeper of bees
wiring his hands if, finding out that
bunch of cats and dogs had broken
INTO the warehouse, had licked up all
the honey which he had sold to the
merchant? 1t is evident that all pro-
ductlon and exchange has not, as
some wise men from the Evening
Land claimed, become a service to
the next man, but a money-making
scheme,-in fact a legalized robbery
that has made man a rogue among
animals.

Canadian House Of Commons Makes Political Move

Ottawa, Nov. 4 tP-Canada' s House of Commons will function un- der new parliamentary rules at the coming session. The changes, viewed with approval in political circles, will present a marked change from the old order of procedure.
 Limitation of speeches of mem bers to 40 minutes is probably one of the leading features of the new rules which have just been officially pub lished as a consequence of the adop- ton by the house at the last session of report of a special committee This limitation does not include the prime minister or leader of the op- position and neither does it affect a cabinet minister moving a govern ment order nor member making a motion of mo confidence" in the government and a minister replying thereto.
 All night sittings will also be a thing of the past. Under the new rules the house must adjourn not later than II o'clock on any evening 1t may be in session. On Wednes- days adjournment will take place at 6 p. m.
 Parliamentary agents are also af- fected under the new procedure. Every parliamentary agent must pay a sessional fee of S25 and may con- duct proceedings before the House of Commons or it's committee only with the consent and authority of the speaker of the house.
