RUKEYSER SEES
HOPE FOR
FARMS
By MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER

(Copyright. 1928. By Universal Service,
NEW YORK, Nov. 7.--Now
that the heat OF the campaign
Is over, the country is doutless
prepared to discuss the farm prob
lem in the light of economic
realities.
A master agrarian in Wilson,
Ark, is offering farm relief at
$120 ton. His remedy consists
of good quality of cotton seed,
and it Is doubtless more eff
cacious than the panceas offered
by politicians. In the order
blank enclosed, the buyer signs
his name to the subjoined state.
ment: II am tired of short crops
and tight money. If your type
of seed is good enough to make
money on your 10000 acres, it's
good enough for me. Rush this
order. want to put this pro-
lific type of seed to work for
me-"
Revolution Seen
This selling appeal is hope
ful straw. It indicates that the
American farmer, despite the
flood of devitalizing words from
political sources, is not lacking
in initiative and venturesome-
ness.
The industrial revolution, which
In the field of business is allo-
eating success to the most eff
ficient enterprisers, who are
flexible enough to adapt the new
est scientific principles, is also
beginning to operate in the field
of agriculture.
With the quadrennial political
show over. business will gradually
take over the center of the stage,
from politics as matter of bust
ness interest. The economic sages
of Harvard University. in attempt
ing the role Of seers, have this to
say about the business outlook:
October has been a month OF
very active business. and a large
volume of holiday trade is assured.
Our index of commodity prices, it
is true. has declined during the
month, but this decline has been
caused chiefly by decreases in I've
stock prices and. since certain
other commodities metal prices
particularly show strength. does
not indicate weakness in the gem
eral business situation. The re-
cent slight easing in money does
not represent any decided change
from the firm situation caused by
increasing stock speculation when
the gold reserves of the country
had been sharply reduced.
Durant Comments
William C. Durant, professional
stock market bull, on his recent
return from Europe, expressed the
opinion that high grade American
stocks even at present prices,
were still capitalizing earnings
conservatively compared with the
European practices.
OF course. market price for
shares represents a capitalization
of past, present and future earn,
ings and dividends. Hopes, as
well as accomplishments are
fused into the price fixing
process.

ION NIGHT
DRUNKS FEW

With the police haul at an IN.
usually low figure, records TODAY
indicate that this election, one Of
the most intensely interesting in
history, was conducted in an or.
derly manner so far as votelesS
Washington was concerned.
Would-be celebrants. mindful, no
doubt, of the fact that police sta
tions are not equipped with radios
or other facilities for receiving the
returns, refrained from falling into
the hands of the law.
The Police Court docket showed
80 persons locked up on various
charges. and 81 on collateral, fig.
ures said to be low in comparison
with past election nights. Only 10
of those on collateral were charged
with being drunk the majority be-
ing arrested for disorderly con-
duct.
MattingIy I.epient
Two Smith supporters who at
tempted to drown their sorrow
were shown leufcncy when they
were brought before Judge Robert
E. Mattingly in Police Court.
This is great day, and ! would
like to be easy on you fellows" re-
marked the court.
John w. O'Dwyer, a World War
veteran and recently patient at
Mount Alto Hospital. shouted for
Governor Smith with such vigor
that he almost drowned out the
voices of a dozen college boys who
were yelling 'fRah, Rah for Hoover
in front Of the Palace Theater.
Policeman j. r. Birch told the
court.
1T seemed to me he was max
ing speech" Birch said.
The defendant denied this saying
that he was simply yelling.
Il had TO yen for somebody, so 1
picked the man ! liked the best
said O'Dwyer. Personal bond was
taken and the veteran was to re.
turn today to his home in New
York.
William Honesty. colored was
drunk and was talking Smith" an
officer told the court, but added
that Honesty was "a good fellow
and a hard working man." A.
suspended sentence OF $40 or 10
days was given him.
Joseph F.. Jones, the 500 block
