Saw Tariff Revision As Need.
Mr.. Wallace also developed a sys-
tenn of forecasting corn yields on
the basis of rainfall and tempera-
ture records. At the same time he
was simplifying his point of view
that the change of the United States
from a debtor to a creditor nation
made it necessary to revise the
American tariff systems, to reduce
the exportable surplus of farm prod
ucts resulting from an increase
during the World War of some 40
100000 acres of crop production. and
to adopt legislative devices which
would enable farmers to adjust
themselves rapidly to the changed
conditions.
He forecast a depression of
plenty with an inevitable collapse
of prices in the United States if
these precautions we're not taken.
He also pointed out the way in which
fluctuations in the buying power of
the dollar increased the difficulties
of postwar adjustment and urged
the use of the commodity dollar"

Strange Case of LIOlG Gaines

Every year thousands of men
and women disappear from the
circle of thoir relatives and
friends for periods ranging from
brief to life. Many reasons, or
none at all, suffice to explain. In
other days when communication
did not have the swift wings of
electricity a person could move
a few miles away without mott
flying anyone and be counted az
missing by them for folks then
did not as Il rule travel much,
being cngrosscd in making a liv-
ing. But today such is not the
case, and going away" from
ones circle Of relatives and
friends is Il ncar-impoSsibility
over any length of time as any
one who has tried it will testify.
Conceeding the truth Of this, we
are Of decided opinion that the
unexplained and total disap-
pearance Of the plaintiff in the
famous University Of Missouri
case has possibilities Of foul
play in it. Efforts should not
be slackencd to obtain an an
: swcr to the mystery that will
clear it up completely.

Politics Is Patriotism

(By Mrs. Chauncey Hinerman)
One of AMERICAS leading
Democrats some time ago &C
cused the New Deal of being a
Santa Claus. / never knew why
for my conception of Santa Claus
was someone who brought gifts
calculated to be beneficial, which
he gave from the fullness of
heart without any expectation
of return.
The New Deal has just about
completed it's visit among us
and it is leaving (not somhthing
usefuD a debt increased by fully
twenty-six billion dollars; many
hundreds of broken promises;
badly misused economy; burden
some taxes; a gigantic bureau
cracy which was erected for the
avowed purpose of helping us
but with the secret purpose of
giving jobs to New Dealers,
which has spent more money
than all the administrations
from Washington to Wilson, and
which has virtually eaten us out
of house and home; impaired
our faith in ourselves and our
country and created general dis
illusion and bewilderment.
Customs at Christmas time
differ widely throughout the
Land and when AL Smith said
that the New Deal was Santa
laus he may have had in mind a
custom followed by a family in
whose home 1 visited during the
holiday. AS Christmas Eve ar
ried good fellowship abounded
on all sides. Charity and bene-
violence were the watchwords.
The head of the house was, on
this particular occasion, very
generous and very solicitious for
the welfare of all and especially
to Santa Claus who was due to
pay his annual visit to the home
in a few hours. Before the chill
dren went to bed they set out a
bountiful lunch for Old Saint
Nick and then on the plate each
child placed a ten dollar bill
which the father in his genera
sity gave them to leave for Santa
Claus. In the morning the chill
dren found that the food had
been eaten and the money had
disappeared which proved to
those unsuspecting children that
Santa had been there.
