Philippine Islands
Tribe Stunned by Plane

A report reaching the War De-
partment yesterday from the Sixth
photo section in the Philippine Is
lands says that an airplane is a
marvel to tribesmen of the islands,
V &c it's motors are a terror to
them.
While making an aerial photo
graph in southern Mindoro for de-.
partment headquarters, members of
the section established a base at
San Jose emergency airdrome.
The superintendent of a sugar
plantation induced group Of 30
Manyon tribesmen from the noun
tains to come and see the plane,
1t was their first opportunity to
see one on the ground. Matters
went we'll until the pilot opened
the plane motors. Then the tribes

cotton market here today, and
prices backed away slightly on adj

weather conditions. Light rainfall
was reported in Tennessee, Miss

conditions otherwise were fair and
somewhat warmer. The latter was
considered as extremely beneficial
for the new crop.
For the most part, however, to-
days short session OF trading was
rather a featureless affair. There
was little overnight market news
Of any value. Business was re-

RUKEYSER SEES
TIME CURING
FARM ILLS
BY MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER

NEW YORK, May 26.-Father
Time is allied with President Cool
idge in vetoing the McNary-
Haugen bill.
AS the country gets farther
away from the climax of the post
armistice agricultural deflation, the
emergency becomes less insistent,
and the demand for extraordinary
legislation accordingly is likely to
wane. Economic forces, operating
slowly and less spectacularly than
the politicians are gradually
bringing relief to the farmers.
Farm prices are nearer in bal.
ance with Industrial prices than
they have been in former years
of agricultural depression.
Victory i'm Delay
Accordingly, opponents of leg
islation which attempts to supply
a political remedy find victory in
delay. The crisis is likely gradu-
ally to disappear as recovery in
the Northwest continues.
The foregoing is in the nature
of factual reporting, and is not put
forward as an argument for do
ing nothing for the farmer.
1t is true that urban statesmen
are more punctilious in detecting
fallacies in economic legislation for
the rural classes than in measures
such as the tariff and ship subsidy,
which give aid to city folk. The
farmers plea is seemingly for an
equal slice in the fallacy pie.
Government should exert leader
ship in research as to farm produc-
ing and distributing methods. 1t
should encourage the farmer to dis
card obsolete methods and to sub
stitute newer scientific technique.
Through long-term credit facilities,
the farmer should be aided in the
purchase of labor-saving agricul-
tural machinery, which. IL inteli-
gently combined with man power,
will better enable the American
agriculturist to compete in world
markets while maintaining Ameri-
can living standards. Henry Ford
has long had the notion that the
modern farm should be run in ac-
cordance with modern factory prin-
ciples.
Technique Improved
In the last year or two, the
Department of Agriculture has
made remarkable strides in i'm.
proving its technique for gather
ing crop information and fore
casting demand. Farmers can
haYe these data for the asking.
The farmer will be more pros
porous If he learns the modern
business device Of adapting pro-
duction to consumer demand.
Where crops are turned out only
once a year. it is of course diff.
cult to make rapid shifts. and
admittedly the slow turnover of
crops heightens the risk element.
But within natural limitations
farmers can heighten their we'll
being by shifting their energies
from crops in excess supply to
those which are scarce AS in
dividuals, the farmers lack facili-
ties for gathering marketing in
formation, which should be sup
piled by the Government, on the
one hand. and by cooperative
marketing agencies. on the other.

Interest in stocks has risen as

A London costermonger's donkey
one day lay down on the street and
died. He coaxed and kicked in an
effort to get it to rise. When there
was no response he finally shook
his head anG remarked, "Blimey, 9

Sever~l million noVices who are
in the market for the first time
are beginning to feel as the costef.
monger felt--puzzled that 1t should
fall down and not instantly rise and
trot along again at satisfactory
pace. Which recalls-at least to
my mind-the chestnut about the
negro who was Dragging about all
that he had travelled and seen. His
friend asked il he had ever had the
d. rs. On being told NO" came
the explanation, "Tben niger, you
all amt seen nuthin' yet!
From which you viii perhaps
gather that the writer is dis
posed to doubt that the market
is through with slipping back.
The simple-perhaps it will
prove too simple-loglc employ is
that the market having scared to
absolutely unprecedented heights
and having attracted more mill
lions of buyers than ever before,
the downward movement, when It
starts in earnest, is likely to be
correspondingly broad and severe.
There is at least some truth in
Roger Babson's favorite declara-
ton. faction and reaction are
always equal"
The bulls tell us, however. that
all old things-including, appar-
entity. all old truths-have passed
away; that all things have been
made new. Their pet song Is
Nothing. but blue skies from
now on"
At that they may prove right
and this canny writer wrong.
Wisenheimers who know a thing
can't be done are sometimes made
ridiculous by darn fools who, not
knowing it couldn't be done,
have gone ahead and done it.
So we shall see.
Talk of Drafting Coolidge is
reviving. Perhaps the wish is
father to the thought. Republi.
cans who cannot enthuse over
Hoover are getting scared over
Smiths triumphant progress.
Hoover's nomination is not being
taken for granted. by any means.
Dawes is still spoken of as the
ace in the hole-if Coolidge baiks.
One of these days Wall Street
will experience-or profess to ex-
perience-a political scare.
Don't soar into the clouds to
buy this, that and the next air
stock. Most of them will fail
back to earth with a thud.
Formation of a rubber institute
by American manufacturers should
prove wise. The idea is sound.
But all will depend on how it is
operated.
Bib business, a. see it, is on
trial. The public is displaying pa
thence. But they are following
events closely, scrutinizingly.
Business appears to be perk'
ing up.
