 Lincoln's letters for the most part were exceedingly short, sometimes to the point of brusqueness. Many of them consisted of only two or three sentences.

LINCOLN, THE LACONIC.

There is a premium on brev- ity, possibly because it is rare, either in speech or in writing. Loquacity is a besetting sin; volubility affhcts a multitude i; garrulity is a scourge. Conse- quently terseness of speech is the more favored. Then too, it is art to be able to speak or write in terse strong sentences.
 Abraham Lincoln was not es- pecially given to the epigram, put he was often laconic. He seldom wrote long letters Or made long speeches. His fam ous letter to Mrs. Bixby con- tains 135 words. His Gettys- burg speech is composed of

A joke is being told on an ab- sent-minded professor. He was taking some students to the country to study rocks. At the station he said, "We haven't a watch. We'll need one or we'll miss the train back. John, run home and get mine."
 Have time before the train comes?" John asked.
 "Yes," said the professor, pulling out his watch. "You have about fifteen minutes"

duct not 28 per cent more than in 1914 but exactly the same price as then. Unlike the farm CT in the aggregate, he has been unable to attract the at- tention of the general public to his plight and even if he had succeeded, the public, neither eating gold nor understandable it, would have been mystificd as to why anyone producing the precious metal should not be in affluence. His few cham pions in Congress failed to se- cure the passage of the bonus bill, apparently the only sug- gested remedy, and so he took the only possible course-he carried on until he could no longer do so. The few survivors are those who either have had an exceptional grade of ore, or else by means of im- proved large-scale operation have been able to reduce costs in spite of rising prices.
 The gold miners plight is the penalty exacted in periods of rising commodity prices from those who seek to pro- duce the standard of which wealth is measured. To recoup his loss, or get his revenge, he must wait until prices fall once more. if haply he can survive or his reserves hold out. He apparently has a long wait ahead of him.

GOLD PRODUCERS AND
 FARMERS HAVE
 MUCH IN COMMON
(From Engineering and Min
 ing Journal)

The farmer must have relief, indeed, irrespective of political consideration. One must rec ognize that the state of his well-being has too important a bearing on the prosperity of the nation to be ignored. Con- tinuance of the national pros perity is difficult to imagine if the large agricultural class suffers from financial diffi- culties. Everything possible should be done to insure to it a fair share of the wealth flowing into the pockets of other large units of the popu- lation. All that remains is to find a way to do it.
 Surveying the agricultural situation of the last six years, the National industrial con- ference board finds no funda- mental improvement; and cur rent indications warrant no ex- pectations of such change in the near future, it declares. Average prices weighted for 80 representative farm pro- ducts at the farm have in- creased but 28 per cent in IA years, whereas the prices of the machinery, feed, fertilizer, and other goods used in pro- duction are 45 per cent higher on the average; the wages paid to farm hands are 68 per cent higher, and the cost of family maintenance is 58 per cent, taxes are 158 per cent, and in terest on farm indebtedness is 66 per cent more than in 1914. These five items combined, acc cording to the conference board, represent an increase of 65 per cent in the cost of farm operation.
 The gold producer-partic- ularly the quondam producer surveys the agitation in behalf of the farmer with rueful in- terests He, too, has suffered from increasing costs of labor. and supplies. Unlike the farm CT, he has received for his pro-
