UNCLE SAM HAS FARM
ERS' BUSINESS BUREAU

We hear a great deal nowadays
about what the government should
do for the farmers and it is only
fair to say that statesmen on all
sides are devoting a great deal of
thought to the problem of assisting
the agriculturists in working out
the problems which came upon
them with the liquidation following
the great war. A great many peo-
pie, however, do not realize what
the government is already doing to
help the farmers in bringing them
selves to the high plane of prosper
ity. which they ought to enjoy For
instance, the Department of Agri-
cultural Economics works contin-
ually in an effort to assist the farm
ers of the country both at home and
abroad, and it serves as the Farm
ers' Business Bureau at Washing
ton. An interesting story of its ac-
tivities is published in the current
issue of the National Republic. It
was written by Lloyd S. Tenney,
chief of the department. Mr.. Ten
ney says in part:
More than two thousand persons
in the federal government service
are deVoting their entire time to
work that is either directly or in
directly related to the business side
OF agriculture. To them falls the
task of searching out and keeping
ever before the farmer and the pub
lie generally those facts relating to
production, farm and market condi-
tions, competition, prices and sup
plies that vitality affect the individ-
ual farmer and the great farming
industry as a whole.
The mere ascertainment and
publication of fact is not enough. It
is the further duty of the staff of
the Bureau of Agricultural Econo-
mics to find the weak spots all
along the line and then to help to
devise, initiate and develop plans
and services for the improvement of
these different phases of farm man
agement and marketing. 1t is thru
these services, many of which have
now become essential and inherent
parts of our agricultural industrial
machinery, that the farmers and the
public are most likely to see, to
realize and to experience the value
of patient years of diligent research
in agricultural economics.
With regard to public work and
services for agriculture, there are
three viewpoints from which the
work may be cornered. First, from
the standpoint of the farmer, the
largest possible return to agricul-
ture may appear to be paramount.
Second, from the standpoint of the
industrialist or city business man,
agriculture may be regarded prin-
clpally as a source of cheap food
and raw material for sustaining in
dustry and commerce, with little
thought as to the welfare or i'm
provement of the living conditions
of people on farms. Third, from
the standpoint of the nation as
whole, agriculture may be viewed as
a source of supply and raw mater
ial at prices that are reasonable
to consumers yet return to the pro-
Queer margins which will enable
him to provide for his family a sat
isfactory life on the farm and in
the rural community"

HOME MOVIES

And now we are to have the NOV
ing picture in the home. A year
or two ago when the cameras first
began to appear in numbers there
was a good deal of speculation re-
picture exhibitor. AS a part of the
development of the new industry
greater attention has been given by
film manufacturers to the matter of
safety films, and quite recently the
du Pont-Pathe Company has an
nounced that the movie industry in
Hollywood changed their films so
that within a few months rs per
cent of the films now used are
panchromatic. This class of film
registers color values so truly that
it distinguishes the delicate blend
ing tones of flowers. 1t has revolu-
tionized surgical photography. 1t
is most receptive to incandescent
lighting. Because of it's improved
color sensitivity it does away with
the need for makeup in amateur
closeup work. The panchromatic

speaks of as the movies"
There need be no fear that the
home movie will interfere with the
moving picture exhibitor. An edi-
torial writer commenting upon this
phase of the situation furnishes us
the following excellent information

Washington Post:

The home movie projection out

point where it maches in quality

satisfactory films may be secured

of the movie palace.
SUCCESS AND CLEANLINESS
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1928-04-20

What is the most necessary part
of the modern girls equipment for
business. Is it silk stockings, spell
ing, or makeup? 1t is something
simpler and easier to acquire than
these, in the opinion of Kathleen
Norris, the well-known novelist,
whose practical messages to bust
ness women have been widely quo
ted in the public press.
Soap and water are indispensable
ingredients of success, according to
Mrs. Norris. There may be little
occasion to mention this to the
younger Office workers, she admits,
for half their salaries often are de-
voted to keeping themselves beauti-
full and dainty. But to the older
women, in stores, offices, and fac
tories, who grew up before the
present conveniences for bathing
became so accessible, she issues a
timely warning.
There is no use lodging the

selling coats, and serving tea-ta-

don't battle every day, every one

no use trying to succeed in your

while that barrier stands between
you and modern ideas.
Fifty years ago nobody bathed

one remembers the thickness and
heaviness of the clothing, and the
general fear of fresh air that pre-
