form. sanguine democrats may see in the action OF

least As respects the products Of the corn belt Never
theIess, the action Of the Corn Belt Conference must
be listed as one OF the assets Of the democratic ticket
even though II is pretty certain to be q much less vau-
able one than It will please democrats TO regard IT,
There has been some dispute as to the degree OF
countenance that the McNary-Haugen bill gets fron
the democratic platform. It is cryptic enough to ex-
cuse the controversy. But to the apprehension OF the
Corn Belt Conference, at least, there appears TO De
little doubt as to its precise meaning. In indorsing
the Houston plank the conference, according to the
language of the press report, went on record as stand
ing firm for the principles Of the M~cNary-Haugen farm
relief BILL" That measure has been put forth by its
protagonists as a scheme for throwing the shelter of
over the agricultural industry, and the
resolution adopted by the conference speaks plain
lively of the petition of the farmers, hitherto denied,
"for their place in the American protective system"
Prohibition may be the paramount issue, or the
most determinstive issue in other sections of the coun-
try. And il may even be in the corn belt. But it will
not be so with the consent Of the Corn Belt Confer
ence. That body islands against" any effort ito OBJ
scure or submerge" the farm relief issue "by appeals
to religious intolerance, wet and dry prejudices or any
other issue that has been adequately dealt with under
the constitution of the United States"
One needs be no eynic to see in the two party decla-
rations on the subject Of farm relief rival bids for
the agrarian vote. The democratic bid has been COM
puted to be the higher by the Corn Belt Conference,
which is not surprising to one who considers that the
republicans were restrained by the necessity Of a-
proving the record chat Mr.. Coolidge has made on that
question.

The World and All
TO A NEWLY MARRIED FRIEND
By Charles r. Driseoll

Dear Dick: The announcement Of your marriage in
~terests me more than you think. / didn't just throw
the card in the wastebasket and grunt, Another fool
caught" as the movies and the jokesters have taught
US we should do in such cases. I've been thinking a
good deal about you in your new venture. I've been
wondering whether you'd care for a few suggestions
from an old-timer.
You see, I've been married nearly ten years. and
mine has been such a successful adventure that l
don't dare tell you how complete a success it is, lest
you disbelieve me. So I feel ~impelled to speak a little
to the newly married folk who are constantly besei
with defeatist talk and literature.
If you were to believe the jokesters and the gloomy
married men you are all too likely to meet. you'd be
inclined to throw over marriage altogether the very
first time some little thing like a toothaehe or an I'M
expected bill for millinery happens to turn up.
Don't believe the cynics who try to convince you
that marriage is a disaster, that all men are tricked
into marriage by designing women, and that a wife Is
a liability, Q "ball and chain" II I were a wife I'd put
a good heavy right to the jaw Of the man who referred
to me as q ball and chain.
Every young man enters marriage a bit scared and
doubtful, because of the elaborate defeatist propa-
ganda that has been dinned into his ears all his life.
I know. ! attended vaudeville shows and reasoned that
a million vaudsyillians couldn't be wrong. I was a re-
porter, covering divorce cases, for several years. I
got such a permanent fright on that I SHE'D away from
girls as though they might be carrying fiji hooks with
which to grab me. Whenever / found myself feeling
interested in a girl, | quit seeing her at once. I was
we'll sold on defestist psychology. When it finally
happened, / was more truly alarmed than the average
man is when he's sentenced to electrocution.
Take it from ne, it's the great adventure that
makes complete living possible. Always treat your
wife as respectfully and as politely as you did before
you married her. and she'll respond with perpetual
love and appreciation. Always remember that a gen
tlemsn never quarrels with a woman. Remember that
you have as many personal peculiarities as any woman
in the world, and some of them may be disagreeable
to one who has to live with you. oh, you'll get along
all right, Dickl / rejoice with you.

The proposal of democratic leaders that agricultural
and industrial tariffs be equalized and the farmers
permitted to "work ont their own salvation" is meet
ing unanimous approval from economists who have
made a study Of the agricultural situation.
For over a century agriculture was the leading indus
try Of the United States, and will again attain the pre-
mier position if given equal opportunity with other in
dustries. No industry can be established firmly upon
governmental subsidies, and to grant such to agricul-
ture without giving the industry a position Of equality
in the domestic markets would be unjust.
Secretary Jardine contends that cooperation is the
remedy for existing farm ills, and he is partly cor
rect. II the next congress will adjust the tariff upon
. basis Of equality and extend government aid in or
ganization Of co-operatives; in other words, aiding the
farmers to work out their own problems, agriculture
will within a few years occupy the same high posi-
ton it held prior TO the beginning Of the present
century.
Both major parties are pledged to aid agriculture,
but agriculture needs no aid further than a square
deal" in tariff adjustment. This has been promised
by the democratic platform, and while the republican
platform makes no specific statement regarding equal
ization, republican leaders indicate they will not op-
pose the demands Of the agricultural interests.
In connection with the cooperative movement.
which is essential to rehabilitation of agriculture, il
is interesting to note that Capitalization of co-opera-
tive associations has made rapid progress in recent
years. Within the commodity groups we have the ex-
ample Of large declarations that perform marketing
services for a number of local or regional oroganiza-
lions. These are examples Of highly developed coop
eratives with known records of achievement, and their
accomplishments have proved to farmers that if the
industry is given equal opportunity under the tariff
they can work out their own destiny.

Az another end OF the room two
chorus boys were helping a couple Of
girls stretch their legs up the wall.
Janet knew enough about dancing to
know they were taking the kinks out
OF their legs.
II vas amusing the way they stood
against the wall and the boys took
hold OF their feet and slowly pushed
their legs back until they touched
the wall over their heads. Amazingi
Janet was timber. but she wondered
il she could do that. She had never
tried. Her dancing had been mostly
buck and wing and patter.
And how friendly they all seemed
with one another. Like a bunch of

or self-consciousness at all. She won

finally. or if they were going to make
her a stranger. She did wan to be
one of them.
Janet went to rehearsal three days
before she was called upon to do
anything. She began 70 think there
was some mistake and that maybe
she wasn't in the show after all. But
there were others sitting around,
twiddling their thumbs and looking
bored. too-so she thought that could
hardly be possible.
The rehearsal hall was unbearably
hot. Two little chorus girls had

what are the best shows?"
Here's q brief guide TO Broadway's
current offerings:
The best of the shows produced
since spring, and one that is likely 20
remain a long. long time, is the ninth
edition Of George Whites Scandals"
Originally White, a former vaudeville
actor, was n mere imitator OF ZieR-
field. His new Scandals" seems to
me to be better than any revue Zieg-
field ever put out. 1t is beautiful, IL
IS funny, 1t is ingenious, and IL Is
surprisingly clean in content, consid-
ering that a woman's knee liz no
longer a mystery.
Ziegfeld has retired, for the time
being, from the revue field, and In
devoting himself exclusively TO must
cal plays. and his Three Musket-
GERS" SHOW Boat" and "RosaIie" are
best sellers. These Scandals" the
collegiate "Good News" whose music
must BY now be fairly familiar all
over the country; Joe Cooks show
Rain or Shine" ard a version OF
Mark Twain's Connecticut YANKEES
at King Arthur's Court" are the best
New York has TO offer in the musical
line.
The best Of the dramatic shows, as
shown by critical reports and at
tendance, are; "Coquette," tragic
play based on n southern murder
that happened q few years ago, with
Helen Hayes; "volpone," Theater
Guild production Of an E~lizsbethan
comedy; THE Bachelor Father" Be-
lasco production Of a risque idea;
Strange Interlude," the five-hour
Pulitzer prize play by O'Neill:
Percy" a negro tragedy produced
by Theater Guild with negro actors;
The Royal Family" q comedy hav-
ing to do with some such folks as
the Barrymores.

The minds Of the women Of this country must Be
~disabused Of certain ~prejudices and false Impressions.
/ believe firmly in prohibition myself, but despite the
injection of prohibition into discussions Of the cam
pagn, l., as well as the other women Of the national
committee, who hold similar convictions, are quite
sanguine.
We are not misled by the propaganda that is being
spread abroad about Governor Smith: and il will be
our duty to see that others are not misled. Prohibition
cannot be a party issue in a presidential campaign be-
cause modification rests with the people. The peo-
pie can do what they will. The women of my part Of
the country desire prohibition. but they are liberal
minded enough 20 respect other points of view.
The way for women to become effective in politics
is to work with the men. There will be no rivalry Of
democratic women with the men and we will make no
effort to assert ourselves against the men. We viii
both work together for the one glorious result.
There are many able democratic speakers among
women and they will be enlisted in the campaign, al
though they will not be asked to align themselves as
women. We expect 70 use every possible agency to
advance Governor Smiths candidacy. I shall be here
in New York City much Of the time during the cam
paign.
Every woman must be interested In prohibition, but
! am confident that democratic and republican women
will both realize that there are other great problems
in this campaign. Chief among them is the restora-
tion OF honesty in government. The farm problem :
also q very vital one, not only to the farmers them
selves, but TO oil industry and 20 the nation az large.
