BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

farmer and the consumer has been
reduced, but not in any proportion
to the price reduction farmers have
taken for their products. They SUI
fered the greatest dedation.
Next to come down were consumers
prices. The drop in retail prices, how
ever, was not so great, proportion
ately, as the drop in farm prices. This
meant the professors and distributors
portions of the consumers dollar often
were relatively greater during the de-
preston than during the years We
are apt to look back upon as pros
porous"
The drive is being aimed at both
farmers and consumers.
Both are being urged to watch what
happens to these price margins dur
ing the next few months.
Since they failed to contract as
much as farm and retail prices in the
depression, it is pointed out, they
should not be expected to increase at
anything like the rate at which farm
prices advance unless the workers in
these food industries get greatly in
creased wages.
The idea is if Consumers psy-
chology" can be built up, or. expressed
another way. if the people of the
country can be made consumer con-
scious," half the battle will be won.
Once consumers are aroused, recov-
cry officials believe, corrective steps

aspiring. When these branches are
covered with bright, twinkling leaves
that dance with every breeze. it is a
lovely sight. indeed. However. the tree
cannot shed its branches and soon be-
comes choked with old ones. Naturally
this detracts from its beauty.
No tree grows more rapidly or with
so little trouble in different soils. That
is why 1t is used as a windbreak and
nurse tree for slow-growing hard
woods. In It's youth it is a slender,
lovely thing, but as it grows older the
trunk becomes a bit course and in
clined to be warty and large at its base.
Then, too, suckers are thrown up by
the roots and the tree looks sort Of
baggy at the knees.
The lombardy is one of our imml-
grants, a native of Europe and Asia
1t has been planted practically over
the whole United States. and wherever
1t is grown 1t remains true to its un-
usual form, "a vegetable exclamation
point" In Southern Europe the lom-
hardy Is used extensively for pictur-
esque landscaping. In fact, the prac-
tice Of planting this tree in such or
derly rows seems to offend the artists
OF Europe very much.
These trees are favorites for narrow
streets. They give no shade, but they
give privacy to householders. They are
being used along avenues and are most
effective.
Belonging to the poplar family and
cousin to the willows, they love the
moist places. II fire occurs and de-
stroys many forest trees, the poplar
family steps In and fills the waste
places. BY the time the long lived
trees are reforesting the section. the
poplars, being short-hved, are disap-
pearing.
The wind is bitter foe of the pop
lars. Their brittle branches have lit
tie chance in a storm. and for th:s
reason few poplars in their old age can
lay much claim to beauty. They cling
steadfastly to life during their allotted
time, and even the twigs strike root and
send up sturdy suckers The only way
to discourage the suckers about the
lombardy, or any poplar, for that mat
ter, Is to go below the surface and get
at the root.
The flowers of the lombardy are
borne in long caCkins. You see the re-
semblance at once to those of the will
lows The leaves are broad, shiny and
leathery. They swing from long, tough
stems, and flutter with the slightest
breeze that comes along. OF the 25
species known, IL are American pop-
lars. The lombardy is known as the
black poplar and vas brought to the
United States In the nineteenth CEN
tury.

Everyday Psychology
Micromanics.
BY DR.. JESSE ". sPROwLs.

mlCrOmdnlCS.
There is mental illness known
among medical psychologists as manic
Oppressive psychosis. Manic -depressives
swing more or less periodically from
spells Of extreme detection OF spirit to
spells of extreme elation of spirit. They
are called manics for short.
This mental malady is by no means
incurable. although relapses are COM
mon. This means that returns to and
departures from so-called normalcy
must bear some significant relation to
normalcy. Let the alienist settle that
point
One thing is significant. The more
fundamentally you study manic-depres-
sive psychosis. the more it seems that
something like it is seen in about every
tenth normal person Of your acquaint-
ance. At any rate. there are lot Of
micromanics Qittle manics) going about
in everyday life. A great many Of them
are regarded as being above the aver
age in respect to energy and achieve
ment.
To put it briefly. the micromanics are
those who periodically have the blues
for a day or two. and then snap out Of
them and proceed to make up for lost
time.

Here. in part is the meaning Of the

friendly to us. and that they could be
converted to our holy faith by gentle
means better than by force, gave them
some red caps and strings of beads to
wear upon the neck. They were much
delighted.
"Afterward they came swimming to
the boats, bringing parrots, balls Of cot

change we gave them glass beads and
hawks bells. This trade was carried
on with the utmost good will.
"All whom I saw were young, not
ever 80 years Of age, well made, with
fine shapes and faces. Their hair is
short and coarse like q horses tail,
combed toward the forehead except a
small portion which they let hang down
behind.

listened with purpose. In those places
from which the sound Of guns had come
most frequently they were themselves
likely to find the best hunting.
They had separated. Reddy headed
straight for certain brushy thickets and
open woodlands where the guns had
been busy all day. He knew what those
hunters had been after there. They
had been after Grouse. and no one
knows better than Reddy how quick
on the wing are the members of the
especially the older ones, in dodging
around and between trees. OF course,
tins means that they are not easy for
hunter to kill. Only the best of shots
are reasonably sure OF making a kill,
and. alas! a majority of those who go
cunning are not the best of shots. The
result is that many Grouse are hit but
not killed
All this Reddy knows and had in
mind as he headed for the places
where he had heard the guns all
through the day When he got there
he began a careful search in such
a wounded Grouse would seek to hide.
His first find was dead Grouse. 1t
was plump bird whose stout wings
had carried him some distance after he
had been shot. so far that the hunter
had failed to find him. Perhaps that
hunter had thought he had missed and
hadn't looked thoroughly. That often
happens.
Reddy grinned as he looked down at
that plum Grouse. Il thought I
would dine well tonight" said he. Then
the grin faded. He shook his head
sadly. Too bad" said he. TOO bad
ic fNr I,,,&
1 hadn't happened to find this fellow
he would have been killed for nothing.
1t would then have been a life wasted
No Fox would kill that way. Shadow
the Weasel might. but he is the only
one I can think Of. aside from these
two-legged hunters who kill just for
the pleasure of killing"
Reddy ate the Grouse and then re-
sumed his hunt. Presently his keen
ears heard a faint rustic of leaves In
stantly he headed toward it. stepping
slowly and softly. his ears cooked for
ward. his nose testing the air. There
it was again. just the faintest rustic,
Had you been in his place you would
not have heard it. Neither would I.
1t was too faint a rustic for such ears
as yours and mine. But Reddy heard
it and moment later he was looking
down on a young Grouse SO dreadfully
w:unded that it was helpless Even as
Reddy looked it breathed its last
Reddy thought of the hours that
Grouse had lain there suffering and
again shook his head. Those guns
are terrible things" thought he. 1T
they always killed instantly it wouldn't t
be so bad. But they don't. They bring
death to the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows. but. what Is worse.
they bring dreadful suffering. I shall
be glad when the hunting season is
over. profit by it. but just the same
shall be glad when it is over"
He picked up the young Grouse and
started for home. If Mrs. Reddy had
had no luck this would make her q
good dinner If she had had luck he
would later eat 1t himself.

wished for her company were inf1u-

win more favor in the eyes Of those in
viting her If she can manage to keep
herself looking fit enough to enter in at

this is impossible, she should see to it
that the interval Of changing is made
as short as possible.
Then 1t is that, by having her cos
