Sensible Farm Relief

Governor Smith has given the assurance 70 West
ern 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 20 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
tion, 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 end
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 he 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 proponent has a special
panacea 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 APP
plication. However, they all have certain merits, and
from the wide 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
to which it is entitled, hail Governor Smiths sugges-
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.

Ballard Riley was worried about the
gossip that was sure to start around
the hospital. He knew the nurses,
at least some Of them, were anxious
that he should take them out. Ger
tainly they had thrown themselves
at his head often enough. Especially

got hit with the taxi. 1t bothered
him.
At 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
self on the bed and cried. Her beau
tiful evening had been spoiled. Her
pride rebelled. She would show him.
She would have 50 many men friends
he'd have to call up " weeks in
advance IL he ever wanted 70 see her
again. And so she went to sleep,
mad as a halter.
The next week was a busy n for
both Janet and Flavia. Flavia was
more than kind in helping her fix
the studio. Every day she came with
things and brought Lotus Flower to
help.
BY the end az the week the place
looked like new. They painted the
bath room and around the rug them
selves because Flavia thought it
would be fun. 1t was when Flavia
sent a piano that Janet went into
ecstasies and hardly knew how 70
thank her new friend. Flavia had
two Of them, and saw no reason why
Janet should not make use of one.
The studio really was lovely. Janet

sank. She looked around and Won
dered how she could ever give il up
If she should be unable TO pay the
rent. But she put the though be-
hind her, because il vas too annoy
ing. There she wen crossing bridges
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
we're just because he wanted to be
kind and let her down easy. Janet
wanted to see him as she had never
wanted to 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 no 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.

Her heart stood still. She didn't
want 10 suggest things. She had no
idea what TO say.
Ballard took the menu and saved
the evening. So cleverly did he
handle the situation that she was
scarcely aware that she was being
helped.
He could see that she had been
self-conscious-and 1t pleased him.
He had been right. She was mex
p~erienced. AS long as he could keep
from trying TO give her good advice
everything would be al right. She'd
have to work put her W destiny.
A few bumps probably wouldn't hurt
her.
Janet chatted constantly during the
dinner. They played q game Of
guessing what different people in the
restaurant did, and where they came
from. Ballard was amazed at the
intelligence Janet showed in picking
out types. He agreed with her in
nearly every instance.
They laughed continuously. He
hadn't felt so young in ten years.
