 Farmers Were Unhappy So you see that even at the price levels of 1926 the farmers weren't happy. And wheat was $1.19 at the farm as the year closed, having lowered around $1.50 at Chicago nearly all that year.
 But the programs under which the American taxpayer was to pour two billions of dollars in the farmers laps with no end in sight today, still were being rejected firmly by congress back in 1926. It was more concerned about the Ware election scandals in Pcnnsyl- Vania and the fact that most of our European debtors were just scale.
 ''DO It We Will'
 Labor in general was laboring though there was a long and
  and fur, cloak, and subway strikes in New York. The allies were pull ing out of the Rhineland, the To- carno treaties were going into effect, and Mabel Walker Wille- brandt assured us that prohibition enforcement was getting better all the time.
 Lots of those things are gone forever. But the prive levels, the plenty of work, the treasury sur pluses, the general well-being of the people-those are the things which the government is trying to bring back as they were in 1926, And remember that President Roosevelt said, "Do it we will!"

SWEDEN NOT KEEN
/ FOR BALTIC UNION
Officials Indicate Preference
for Handling Own Economic
Moves.

STOCKHOLM (P)-Renewed talk OF
a union of East and West Baltic states
for purposes of economic self -sufflciency
and economic defense has evoked only
a lukeyarm response from Sweden's
government.
officials here indicated that Sweden,
Norway and Denmark still desire IN
the main to drive their own trade
bargains.
Speaking on the subject, in the Riks-
dag. Rikard Sander, Swedish foreign
minister, indicated that more DEFINITE
program for such union must pe
forthcoming before Sweden will be will
ing TO consider the idea formally.
Willing to Cooperate.
Minister Sander said Sweden always
has evidenced its willingness to CO.
operate with other Baltic nations cSpe-
ciallv on cultural matters, and will con-
tinue to do so.
Distinction must be made, however,
he said, between formal union by
which the Baltic states would merely
help each other and unlon Whlch
would be interpreted as, or which would
take, aggressive economic action against
outside nations.
For a nation of Sweden's economic
structure, built upon scattered world
trade, it is necessary to know IN ad-
vance whether such union would IN
terfere with our efforts to maintain a
free trade policy" he said.
League of Nations Part.
Sweden's willingness to cooperate
with other nations, Sander continued,
Is evidenced by its part in the League
of Nations and its membership in the
Oslo convention, the latter offering
possibility for an extensive Baltic union
and for a united front. if desired, at
the World Economic Conference.
Leaders of a Belgian trade delega-
ton which recently visited Scandinavia
brought new attention TO the Oslo con-
vention by stating that proper exploita-
ton of the idea could give the conven-
tion big nation voice in the settle
ment of world problems.
Talk of a Baltic alliance is not new,
since the nations involved have been
variously joined in the past. After the
thirty years war the Baltic was prac-
tically an inland sea in Swedish terri
tory. Estonia and Latvia both have
been provinces of Sweden and Finland
a grand duchy.
The last formal union in the West
Baltic area was that of Sweden and
Norway established in 1914 and dis
solved in 1905.

GUARDSMEN TO QUELL
MUTINY AT PRISON
Troops Called to Put Down Strike
Of About 80 Conviets in Flor.
ida Camp Stockade.

| BY the Associated Press.
BROOKSVILLE, Fla, July 6.-Na-
tional Guardsmen hurried to Tooke Lake
prison camp today in a determined
offensive to smash an armed mutiny.
Striking convicts, numbering about
thirty and described by jailors as bad
actors" were barricaded in the stock
ade and armed with hatchets, knives
clubs and bottles. They have defied
prison authorities since Tuesday noon.
Civilian authorities predicted "real
trouble" in storming the stockade.
Sheriff Law said he thought the con-
victs may have killed one of their num-
ber. possibly for attempting to desert.
The prisoners have smashed sweat
box and ignored demands for submis-
sion.
Commissioner Nathan Mayo in charge
of the prison system, said the strike
apparently was started by convicts dis
gruntled because the pardon board did
not act favorably on pleas for clemency.

since your guests are self-invited, 1t
would seem better to tell them that
the reason why you seem inhospitable
Is solely on account of an empty purse
rather than to let them think that your
coohess is personal You might frank
ly suggest that they stay with you as
paying gusts semi friendly, semi
business arrangement that has long
been practiced in England, especially
since the war. In this present day,
when every one is frank about lack Of
income, why can't you tell them you
will have to ask them to do their
share? After all, even in instances
where visitors are much beloved, the
drain on resources, both Of money and
of physical strength, can be devastat-
ing.
Another detail which often Is brought
to my attention Is the inconsiderate
use Of q neighbor's telephone-even for
long distance. One person printed toll
charges over the telephone, but few
would like to do that; and yet such
abuse may very well eat painfully into
the family's budget. The least any one
can do is to ask central for the cost
and leave the amount on the tele-
phone. And if the well-to-do insist on
visiting those who are in far from
affluent circumstances, let them at
least bring in supplies of provisions,
eat many meals out, and give their
hosts whatever diversions are within
their ability to provide. Merely to
make use Of another's good nature Is
something that neither I nor any one
else should have TO write about.

Of Fashionable Costumes

For morning and afternoon wear it is
accepted by women In every walk of
hfe and chiefly because 1t gives oppor-
tunity for the expression of indivtdu-
atty
GOOD taste Is the first essential In
~ choosing a wardrobe, but it is no
more important than individuality.
You may feel that you have chosen a,
let us say. daytime dress which is just
the right type. It is subdued in color,
the line is the approved line for a
frock of its kind, but when you put it
on and walk out into the world you do
not feel important. The reason for this
Is because you have failed to consider
your own personality. What does this
dress do for me?" is a question every
woman should ask herself when she
tries on a new frock and walks up to
the long mirror IN the dress es-
tablishment. II 1t does not make her
to bring out her personality. It lacks
individuality.
In America, where 50 many women
buy ready y-to-wear apparel, the selection
of costumes which bring out ones per-
sonality cannot be stressed too much.
Il is quite possible, with the dress in
dustry turning out so many designs, to
build up q wardrobe of ready-to- wear
clothes which appears as If it were
planned for the individual woman. But
it takes a woman with style sense and
one who knows herself to select only
those costumes which enliven her per-
sonality.

Accessories in the Mode,
With New Uses for FurS

and let trail down to the hem Of their
long frocks. The soft ostrich Is chic
in new feather capelets, small ruf1s that
tie at the throat and end there. These
are fiuffy-looidng affairs. but are not
the cumbersome boas Of old.
THIS seasons feather hats are de-
lightful For evening wear nothing
could be smarter. And the feather
trimming on the new Fall hats marks
them distinctly as Autumn, 1888.
Evening gloves trimmed with feathers
are new and charming and perishable.
But the fashionable woman is weary Of
so much economy and is ready to be
whimsical on occasion.
Not infrequently feathers are used for
the collarettes on daytime frocks. Neck
lines continue to command much at
tention. Collars of every description
are seen in the new Fall showings The
cotton and starched lingerie touches re-
main with us, but have given up some
of their popularity in favor OF the silk
and soft woods for the Winter months.
The separate blouse is designed with
as much thought and care as the en-
tire costume The darker blouse, so
popular earlier in the season, is still in
favor. Many women have discovered
that its slimming effect is the very
thing that makes it possible for them
effectively to wear the smart new suits.
The newer blouses, however, are apt to
be in white or the softer tones.
~
EURS in the new mode are more
versatile than ever before. Fur but
tons, fur hats, fur glove CUTS. fur
pockets on street dresses are few uses
to which fur is being put this season.
The single-skin stole is demode. Silver
fox scarfs are made up OF as many as
four skins. But for the small woman,
the six-skin scarf Of smaller animals
is more imposing.
Paris couturiers have not forgotten
costume jewelry in their plans. The
pearl is one of the newest notes in this
field. Long and short strings are dis
played. With the new soft tones they
seem to make a combination that Is
suitable to every type.

Uncommon Sense
BIZ JOHN BLAKE.

IN Anticosti Island. way down
In the Gulf Of st. Lawrence,
the first thing everybody wants
to know Is the news Of the
world. The entire population
has been shut In all the long Wlnter'
having practically no communication
with the outside world.
When the first boat arrives, and
newspapers are available, they are busy
for q long time catching up with the
news of the world which they have
missed while they dwelt In their cabins
along the little rivers.
When the city man picks up ms
morning newspaper he turns. hfst,
either to the headlines on the front
page or to the market page inside. He
wants to know what his neighbors,
particularly what his important, mon
eyed and political neighbors, have been
doing.
The small town paper which Is sue
cessful allows the great journals OF the
city to tell of world happenings and
gives its readers information about
parties, the new minister at the Con-
gregational Church and the likelihood
Of high water in the creek.
Never condemn people because Of
their curiosity about other people. AS
well condemn a scientist for his curl
osity about disease germs. The will to
know about things-big and little-has
made the world what it is, and Is
gradually improving the quality of its
inhabitants.
The newspapers, big and little, sup
ply the information their readers most
want and need. Without them we
should he an IGNORANT and a dull race
and that would make US very bad COM
pany for one another.
I cnce lived In the house Of q man
who hated, newspapers and would not
take one. But his children got them
on the sly, and thereby escaped their
fathers ignorance.
