Farm Income Reflects
 Degree of Management

AMES, Iowa, Dec. 27.-A striking relationship between methods of management and the income from the farm is found in a study of the records kept by 25 farmers in Webster County in cooperation with Iowa State College.
 The four high farmers made a management return, margin of profit above interest on invested capital and hired mans wages, of s2,O78. The lowest farm showed a management loss of $942
 Economists found five definite standards on which efficiency of the farm may be judged-acres operated, return per $1 on feed fed to livestock, value per acre of crops, crop acres per man, and power and machinery cost per acre.

ENGLAND AND CANADIAN WHEAT

It has been said that it is ill wind that blows no good While the Canadian wheat pool has not been able to sell Canadian wheat at the price demanded it has succeeded in aiding the people of South America to get rid of the surplus of their last springs crop The Prince Rupert News com plains that while there are a million bushels of wheat in the Prince Rupert elevators that cannot be moved and hundreds of millions of bushels In cars and bulging warehouses between Prince Rupert and the inland wheat fields, England has been leading up with the cheaper wheat from Argentine
 This illustrates the main difficulty in the way Of the proposed Imperial commercial union with free trade among the British peoples and tariff against the rest of the world England wants her food stuff and raw material at the lowest possible price She does not wish to pay extra to promote Im- perial unity. On the other hand Colonial manufact- urers do not want to be forced to compete on an even base with the English producers. They want the advantage of protective tariff to hold their local markets. And consumers in the colonies want to be able to trade with foreign countries if by that means they might expand their markets
 The Prince Rupert News is sceptical about the possibility of forming a British Commercial and Industrial Empire. Apparently, it does not believe that a preferential tariff is within the probabilities. Commenting upon the English purchases of South American wheat the News says:
 No one planes England, but the incident
 simply makes clear how great are the diff
 ficulties in holding together more less
 artfficialy affiliated nations geographically
 separated and whose interests are so di-
 vergent. Very little has been said about
 this big struggle because of it's Empire
 significance. Some statesmen have started
 to urge Empire preference but it is
 doubtful if preferential duty would
 keep the business within the Empire at such
 time this.

Page Sinclair Lewis.
CNew York Times

But unquestonably the surest way to ward off precedented prosperity is to engage MT Sinclair Lewis for a very large fee to write novel depict ing the future of American business in the very darkest color
 This recommendation is made after thorough examination of the social effects of MT Lewss writing up to date.
 In 1920 he wrote satirical novel about Main Street. This made the people Main Street so ashamed of themselves that in 1928 they crushed Alfred E. Smith by huge majorities because he was born on Oliver Street. and elected Herbert Hoover because he born in West Branch Iowa.
 In 1922 Mir Lewis wrote the enormously suc- cessful "Babbitt" in which the American business man was held up for public ridcule As result the volume of American business increased three fold in the next six years, the number of six cylinder cars increased fourfold and the number of Chambers of Commerce twentyfold
 Subsequently MT Lewis wrote "Arrowsmth" in which he denounced the doctors and the research laboratories This was followed by the discovery of insulin and the $25,O0OO0O New York Medical Centre
 Under the circumstances it is fair to contend that at least for the crash in Wall Street and the resultant nervousness about busi- ness is recent widely circulated statement by Sinclair Lewis in which he said that Rabbit was much nicer fellows than most people supposed
 If, then, business has been slowing up ever since MT. Lewis was reported as saying kind things about his countrymen the situation obviously will not be redressed until MT. Lewis can be persuaded to say something terrible about America

The Tariff Grab.
Philadelphia Record.)

President Hoover, in fulfillment of personal and party pledges asked for tariff revision which pri- marlly would aid agriculture and secondary would benefit through limited changes those manufactur- ing industries which could show substantial loss es' through inadequate protection against foreign competition
 Ills program was kicked aside. The Senate Old euaro, responding to the importunties of the swarming Grundies, organized a drive for general ana wholesale revision distributing favors lavishly to influential industries regardless of agricultural protests and the interests of the consumer
 Ihey drove the Westerners into corner goad- ca them into active resentment. The result was formation of coalition so strong that if is re- writing the whole measure
 On neither side is there any longer dis position to deal with the tariff on the basis of equailty ana the welfare of the whole population The weapons now are not reason and cooneration but self-interest and sectionalism

THERE IS NO SUCH FISH.

There is no such fish" says the New York Times of the so-caled sardne. "Sardines are made not born" it continues In other words, "sardine' is a method of preparation and not fish. The fact is that the "sardine' is usually mehaden, a little herring, young pilchard other little fish painted in oil or, sometimes is his happier fate in the Midi drowned in red wine. ,. Even the English law which prohibits the i'm portation of any fish labeled "sardine' unless it be real sardine' is made unmeaning by the new Oxford Dictionary the latest English authority which says of really sardinesH
 small fish of the Herring family
 Clupea pilchardus, abundant off the shores
 of Sardinia and Brittany young plchard
 of the Cornish coast when cured preserved
 in oil, packed in tins or other cases for
 sale a table delicacy.
 It is interesting to recall that the controversy "sardines' caused so much conflict among authorities that Britannica, the most famous of encyclopedias, does not mention it at all.

IT MAY BE COOLIDGE vs. COOLIDGE.

It is possible that both the Republican and Democratic candidates for United States Senator in Massachusetts next year will be named Coolidge Republican leaders urging former President Coolidge to for Senator for the purpose of saving to that party seat in the upper branch of Congress that it is feared may otherwise be lost Many Democrats it is said, have agreed upon Sidney Coolidge Lowell, Mass, manufacturer and President of the Coolidge Family Association, for the nomination and the feeling prevails that he may be elected.
 The Coolidge family, of which Sidney Coolidge is just now the official head, is one of the most noteworthy in Massachusetts. Many of its members are directly descended from Thomas Jefferson, through his daughter and the Randophs. The late Thomas Jefferson Coolidge diplomat and promin- ent in politics and diplomacy, was member of

HOOVER AND HURLEY.

Will Rogers thinks President Hoover and his new Secretary of War, Pat Hurley, are alike in one thing: While they believed the Democrats were always right they were seldom President" So, he says, Hurley "relnquished his social standing" in Oklahoma and joined the great unwashed major ity." Hoover quit the Democrats and joined the Republicans ten years ago.
 Rogers, who halls just twenty-eight miles from where Hurley born, thinks his Oklahoma friend will make such a good Secretary of War that he may make the Presidency just as Hoover made it from his Cabinet position He thinks the men much alike in efficiency and general attitude.

THANKING SANTA By Mary Graham Bonner


 The Little Black Clock took the children back very quickly after they had seen Santa Claus start off on his journey. It hardly seemed anytime at all before they were in bed, and the next morning when they awoke they found the presents they had most wanted had been left by Santa Claus.
 What a wonderful day it had been. First they had opened their stockings and they had found a bright penny and bright ten cent piece in the toe of each, big fat orange, some nuts, some raisins and some little toys.
 Then they had put up tree in the living room which Santa Claus had trimmed for them. What won- derful taste he had! No one could trim a tree as he could And he did such jolly, funny little things, too. He put a little toy Santa Claus right at the very top of the tree-so close to the top that his head touched the ceiling.
 He had put candy animals on the tree and toys underneath it. Well, he certainly had given them beautiful Christmas, so that eve ming the Little Black Clock turned the time only a few hours back and took. them to see Santa Claus just after he arrived back from him trip.
 They began to thank him for their presents Santa Claus did not seem to care much about thanks. He was glad they had liked the presents-but Santa Claus was so unlike everyone else that he didn't care for a whole lot of thanks.
 And then they sat down in front of his great open fire and his dog, Great Boy, gave John and Peggy rides on his lovely broad back while Santa dozed little.
 Peggy noticed, and so did John, that when Santa Claus was sleeping there were smiles just all over his face. When he awoke he told them he had been having the most beautiful of dreams-all about chill dren asleep in beds and stockings waiting to be filled!r
