THE GREATEST MAN OF HIS
TIME

Sixty years ago a young tele-
graph operator named Thomas A.
Edison invented a method of send
ing messages in both directions
at once on telegraph wire. It
was the most marvellous human
invention up to that time. The
young man got 100000 for his
patent, which was fortune in
those days.
He began experimenting with
other electrical inventions, and
before the Centennial of 1876 his
name was household word all
over the world. He invented,
among other things, the waxed
paper in which the package of
groceries you buy are wrapped.
He invented the Monograph, the
first successful duplicating pro-
cess. Sholes, first inventor of the
typewriter, came to Edison with
his crude model and Edison taught
him how to make it work. Pro-
fessor Bell had the idea of talk
ing over wire; Edison's inven-
ton of the carbon transmitter
made the telephone a success. DR..
Brush invented the electric arc
light; Edison conceived the idea
of putting electric lights in small
units into bottles and invented the
1ncandescent lamp. In the course
of his telephone experiments he
invented the photograph. A little
later he invented the movies. In
between he invented new and eco
nomical methods of producing ce-
ment and developed the electric
storage battery.
It is not too much to say of
Edison that his inventions have
revolutionized the world. They
have changed our manner Of liv-

down on anything as long as they
think the other fellow ought to do
the cutting down first. There is
some excuse for the cotton plant
er, especially the renter one, for
he has to put in what he is told
too or,else, and he hasn't enough
machinery and stock to put in
anything else. But with the wheat
Farmer its most generally man
that is his own boss. He generally
owns the land, or has it rented to
do with it what he likes.
So it looks like he is going to do
the same as the south has with its
cotton, just go broke with it and

tional and international. Germany
got Moratorium, the Big inter-
national Bankers got theirs guar
anteed, Taxpayers got another as
sessment, and the farmers got
exactly what everybody had been
predicting they would get two
bits for their wheat. But we are
told that indirectly this good that
we did Germany will trickle to
get through the weeds and mort
cages.
Course there is one thing where
the Farm Board is right Il haven't
heard that in so long that it real
" scared me when wrote it
DOWN. They told the farmers Not
to plant so much wheat, they said
there was going to be q big sup
ply this fall, and you knew your
self that they hadn't sold last
years crop. So / kinder string
with the Farm Board in that. You
know the Farmers don't use their
heads whole lot. Some Of them
don't even use anybodys.
Now it was last year that the
Farm Board bought up all this
wheat, and had nothing to do with
it. From the day they started buy
ing the first bushel it started CO.
ing down, and no matter how fast
they bought, it went down faster.
Well there you was. You hadn't
put in this years wheat yet.
Now Russia had an awful big
mess of it, and if you read, you
knew that they would lose money
on it in order to take away some
one else's market, especially us.
You knew that they would per-
haps under the five year plan put
in more wheat than ever before,
because they amt supposed to
know how to raise anything else.
Now then here is the Farm
Board with their millions Of BUSH
els. Granaries full Of private
wheat. The worst depression in
years. Now I just want to ask one
question. What in the world made
any farmer think that things
could possibly be any better than
they are when he planted the
wheat? Had he been listening to
Chamber Of Commerce speeches?
How did anyone think that just
over night we was going like we
too? So why would man, know
ing the amount of wheat that was
going to be on the market the next
year, knowing that nobody was
going to have anything to buy
it with If they did want it, why
would he go and gamble every
thing he had in more wheat?
We use to think that a wheat
Farmer was smarter than cotton
Farmer, and the wheat one thinks
SO yet. well, maby not now. But
by golly, it looks like there amt
no way to get any people to cut
