PUTTING THE FARMER INTO THE MARKET

The grain commission firms and the grain e,-
changes of course doing everything possible to
put the Farm Board in bad.
The cooperative system and the auction system
cannot exist side by side indefinitely. In the end
either one or the other will give way. The outcome
of the battle depends entirely upon which side the
producers throw their strength
The aim of the Farm. Board is very clearly set
out in the following statement by Chairman Legge
I'm the past, much effort and large sums Of
money have been spent trying to improve farm con-
ditions, but much of this effort has been directed
toward improvement in methods of production; that
is to encourage the raising of and better crops
However all this effort meets only part of the
agricultural problem. Obviously, nothing is gained
by raising larger crop of better quality it, after
having done So you unable to dispose of it on
basis that will yield reasonable return for the
effort expended
1T is when we approach this part of the agricul-
tural problem that the need for organization becomes
imperative There it is that the problem of the
most closely parallels that of every other industry
and it to that the treatment to be applied
be described in word, organization
ITO illustrate, if thousand farmers attempt TO
sell the same kind of product at the time in the
market, and in most to very limited
number of buyers, the competition among
themselves puts them at disadvantage But if
these same thousand farmers place the product
in the hands of single selling agency, that agency
at becomes important factor in the market"

= Employment of Glaze
for characterization Old

AmCng race as gifted as the
Chinese, neither the spirit of in
ventiveness, which originates new
objects and processes of manufac-
ture, nor the love of adventure
which by means of travel imports
them from abroad. were ever wholly
absent, and it is often difficult to
prove to which of these two
agencies any particular novelty
owes its Introduction. However, as
regards glaze, Importation from
abroad does seem the most likely.
For one thing it was a very an
cient possession of the West.
Even before the Pyramids rose
out of the sands Of the desert, a
lovely turquoise glaze had been dis
covered by the Egyptian artisans.
And twenty centuries later the
dream city Of the Pharaoh Akhna-
ton cleaned like jewel against a
cloudless horizon, the Intel of it's
gates, the walls of it's palaces, the
pillars of its temples, the cornices
Of it's roofs inlaid with fairylike
mosaic of multi-colored glazes.
From Egypt glaze spread over west

Babylon, unless invented there in

was still innocent of all luster, AS

Holstein Cattle Winter
in Luxurious Quarters

Speaking of the winter care given
the famous Holstein cattle by the
dafrymeD of Frfesland,, Holland, the
National Geographic society says:
Barn and dwelling are under one
roof, which rises high into the sky
in order to provide loft space for
the immense amount of hay needed
as cattle feed during the long win
ter. The whole gives the appear
ance Of a one-story cottage pushed
low into the earth by weight of an
immense pointed roof, which
reaches above the tops of the tall
trees lining the roadway.

tiers Of the farmers family from
space set aside for cows, which as a
rule is the larger portion of the
house. Visitors testify that these
barns are spotless and edorless.

BRIDGE FIEND TEST

Considering the great spread of the
bridge playing industry, it is strange that
none of our legislators has had any laws
passed for it's regulation. Now comes sug-
gestion that players be compelled to pass an
examination before being licensed to indulge
in the game.
The suggestion comes, not from a Unit
ed States Senator, but from an editor, whose
zeal for the public welfare has been aroused
by a report from Kansas City, where wife
shot her husband. The victim was also the
ladys bridge partner, it appears, and when
he bid one spade and another player plunged
on different suit the wife raised to four
spades. The husband was set, blamed the
wife for reckless bidding, and as a result Of
the argument she shot him.
Now, the aforesaid editor asserts, all
persons who aspire to play bridge should be
caused to pass a rigid test, not with refer
ence to their skill, but to determine their
mental poise. If the applicant is unable to
be set or have an ace trumped without show
ing undue emotion, a license should be denied
The trouble is that such law, if en-
forced, would practically eliminate all who
take the game seriously.

Rubber Is Not Elastic

Rubber is one of the most in
elastic of substances, points out
"Time, the Newsmagazine." The
extensibility of rubber is usually
confused with it's elasticity. An
absolutely elastic substance is one
which returns to it's original size
and shape after stretching. Rub
Der does not do that. Pull piece
Of rubber, release it, measure IT..
It is defOrmed. Old rubbers are
bigger than new ones. Steel is far
more elastic than rubber, but OF
course much less stretchable. Glass
Is probably more elastic than steel.
Quartz is an almost perfect elastic.
Hence it's use in nice measuring
instruments such as telescopes.

Humble Az Revealed as
instrument of Romance

The ak is a tool of romance. En-
almost every age it has played a
major part in mans struggle for
existence.
From earliest history, on down
through the Stone age, the Bronze
age and the Iron age, and more es-
pecially during the time Of Amer
ica's early piOneers--the ak has
been the indispensable friend of
man.
With the building of primitive log
cabins went the building, too, of
strong characters and stout mus
cles.
Washington, Boone. Lincoln.
Roosevelt, Gladstone of England,
and many other great names in his
tory are associated with the ak.
No other tool promotes the same
kinship of man with nature.
Through its medium one captures
the spirit of the forest, one senses
that feeling of satisfaction which
comes through aiding the growth
Of majestic trees. by the removal
Of deformities, weak specimens
and fire hazards.-Peter McLaren,

THE OLDEST REPORTER

Probably the oldest active reporter in
the country is Theodore F. Shuey, IS years
old, who has held one job nearly 62 years.
He is also one of the most accurate chron-
iclers of events, and one who never colors
his news, except possih'--- to correct gram
NAUTICAL errors in the speeches which he
records.
For he is an official reporter of Senate
debates for that well-known and sometimes
derived publication, the Congressional Re-
cord
Shuey became senate reporter in 1868,
when Andrew Johnson was president, the
year of Grants first election. He has re-
corded the utterances of all Senators who
have served since that time. Naturally he
has head full of interesting memories.
He thinks that George Graham Vest of
Missouri was the best orator the Senate has
had in all these years. Ingalls,, of Kansas
was one of the wittiest, it being he who once
referred to Delawawe solon as a Senator
from state which has three counties at low
tide and two at high tide"
Shuey thought Summer of Massachusetts,
the most conceited of Senators, of whom it
was said that he didn't believe the Bible be-
cause someone else had written it.
Among present Senators, Shuey SAYS
that Johnson, King, Heflin and Moses are
easiest to follow and record in shorthand.
Which is perhaps fortunate for the reporters,
for the gentlemen named generally have a
good deal to say.

Concerning the Law

The true view. as submit, is that
the law is what the judges declare;
that statutes, precedents. the opin-

ity are the sources of the law: that
back of everything is the opinions
Of the ruling spirits of the commu-.
nifty; who have the power to close

hairdressing in France reached its
peak. Literally. Many court ladies
wore their hair piled so high that
they could not sit in coaches but
had to kneel or hold their heads out

Paris in 1870 there were 1000 hair
