Sensible Farm Relief

Governor Smith has given the assurance to West
en farmers that in the event he is elected in Novem-
Der he will be prepared to transmit to congress at its
opening session Immediately after his Inauguration a
definite program Of farm relief.
The New York governor indicated in a telegram to
the president Of the Indiana farm bureau federation
that he would apply TO the farm relief problem the
same method Of solution he has found so successful IN
connection with his administration Of the affairs Of
New York state. He proposes TO call a conference OF
farm leaders and experts Immediately after the cleo
ton, insist that they compose their differences and de-
eide upon a definite program. In this conference there
will be farm leaders from every state, shippers, bank
ers, every interest connected with agriculture and
which will be benefited by improvement Of agricultural
conditions.
Governor Smith adopted the same plan several years
ago when called upon to check the New York crime
wave, and the famous Baumes laws were the result.
He adopted the plan in connection with regulation Of
motor traffic, and from it evolved the most efficient
system in the United States. And ne again applied 1t
in connection with the state highway system, with very
satisfactory results.
The greatest obstacle farm relief has encountered
has been the fact that each prepayment has a special
panaces and refuses to admit there might be merit in
some other plan. There has been no cooperation
among those seeking farm relief. Each faction has
its special brand, and many Of the plans lack funda-
mental features which render them impossible Of ap-
plication. However, they all have certain merits, and
from the VIDE range OF plans and ideas practical farm
relief can be evolved. But it will require research,
study and cooperation, such as Governor Smith pro-
poses, to find the solution Of the problem.
Governor Smiths reply to the head Of the Indiana
farm bureau federation has caused considerable per-
turbation among the political farmers who apparently
would not welcome a solution Of the problem which
has maintained them in office for many years. How
ever, many Of the farm leaders, men who are sincere
in their desire to secure for agriculture the prosperity
IN which IL IL entitled hail Gnvprnnr Smiths 4ug1a--
tion as the one logical method Of formulating and
presenting to congress a farm relief bill, scientifically
adjusted and fitted to fill the requirements Of agri-
culture.

The World and All
ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN

A boy in a small Pennsylvania town writes me. !
shant mention his town or his name, as such publica-
ton might embsrrass him. although he does not say
in his letter that communications between US should
be confidential.
This boy starts out by saying that he is an Ameri-
can boy, Of good parents, Is years old. He then gives
some details Of personal appearance, and says he is
rather good looking.
This is a bad start. l don't care a hang, young man,
about your looks. Nor has the shape of your nose the
slightest bearing on the matter Of your success in
life, which is your chief problem right now. If you
haven't anything more important than your good looks
to think about, you will never make much progress.
The very fact that you think your good looks important
enough to mention in a letter gives me a flood Of light
upon your personality. And what the light reveals
isn't 50 very ~flattering to YOU.
But | have no desire to condemn a 15-yesr-old boy
for his character. His personality is still in the max
ing, and it is possible for him to make much Of him
self-nay, he can make practically anything of himself,
if he goes to work with a will.
Now, my young correspondent confides to me that
he has been going wrong on account of bad company.
He doesn't say how wrong, but it's my suspicion that
there's nothing at all serious about his misdeeds. He
lives in a small community where not very much hap
pens, and he msgnifies in his imagination the import
ance Of the bad deeds he thinks he has committed.
Don't worry about your past, young man. / haven't
read your name among the condemned. Just face the
future; It's all you've got and all you need.
Ny young friend wants to go to a military acad-
envy, and asks if I will help in some way to make this
desire possible Of attainment. He suggests that / prob
ably know many men who could do something about it,
and says that If someone loans him the money neces-
sary for his education, he will surely pay it back.
In that regard, l viii go only this far: If anyone
who is DESTROYS Of helping boys through school reads
this and writes me, / will furnish the name Of the
Pennsylvania boy, and his address.
But here is my best thought for the young man IA
Pennsylvania Don't wait for aid. Help yourself. There
are excellent preparatory schools in Pennsylvania.
Find out about them. Write to the principal or presi-
dent Of one or more Of them, and learn what the
chances are for working your way through. l did il.
It never occurred 20 me to 20 and ask anybody for a
loan. Dozens Of my s~choolmates worked their way
through, and were none the worse for it. It's being
done by thousands Of young men right now. II you
cant earn enough TO pay all expenses while in school.
drop out every other year and earn and save. You bet
it can be done! And don't worry about your past. The
future Is what you determine TO make OF it.

IL was after the show that Janet
got a surprise-and realized for the
first time just how small New York
can be. In the lobby, going out, she
saw a familiar face. The woman
near her looked puzzled, then sud.

and saw her.

Ballard looked impatient, and hur-

shocked:

Janet was hurt. Her lip trembled,
and she stumbled into the car. She
did not say a word. But she was
thinking hard. Was he ashamed Of
her? What was Miss Barnum TO
him-maybe-?
He saw that she was quiet and
took her hand.

L blew up that way. II certainly is

Janet smiled family. But the hurt
was still there. He was SO wonder
ful-and she liked him so much.
Why couldn't she let the whole
world know about her date with him =?
Why must it be kept quiet, and why

flushed. What a silly ideal He

Al the hotel he told Janet good
night, and promised to call her the
next day. She did not believe that
he would, but she gave him her
studio number.
Back in her room Janet threw her

/ pride rebelled. She would show him.

mad as a halter.
The next week was a busy one for
both Janet and Flavia. Flavia was
more than kind in helping her fix
the studio. Every day she anne with
things and brought Lotus Flower to
help.
BY the end Of the week the place
looked like new. They painted the
bath room and around the rug them

would be fun. It was when Flavia
sent a piano that Janet went into

again!
Ballard Riley had called the day
after the theater party, and two
times since. But he hadn't asked
Janet for a date. She found herself
thinking Of him most of the time
His not coming to see her troubled
her more than a little. She was
afraid he had found her too young
and not amusing enough. His calls
were just because he wanted 70 be
kind and let her down easy. Janet
wanted to see him as she had never
wanted 10 see anyone before, and
WIN she thought that he might never
see her again, her heart was heavy
and she felt like crying. She tried
to shake the feeling off and interest
herself in other things, but there
was M use.
Flavia had taken her out twice
that week to dinner and the theater
and she had met several interesting
people-but still she felt dissatisfied
and disappointed. Everywhere she
found herself looking about the
crowd for a tall, dark-haired man
with whimsical gray-blue eyes and a
twisted smile.
