The Farmer’s Place in the Sun
Agriculture loomed Urge on the horizon toward
v Weh business looked in an effort to visualize the
proUems that lie immediately ahead of it at the an-
nual meeting of the f 'ham bet of Commerce of the
United States.
Dwight Ft. Heard of F'hoenix Arizona chairman of
the Agricultural Service advisory committee of the or-
ganization found that agricultural conditions had im-
proved during the past year but at the sync time em-
phasized the gravity of the problem.
"The membership of this Chamber" he said “is
showing an increased interest in this big national
problem. They are not only alert in fact finding
work but are aroused to the need of working in a
soint of service and cooperation with agriculture j
The importance intricacy and wide variations in the j
problems involved are immen-e. The farmer i- en-
titled to an equal chance for success in life com-
pared to that offered to men in other industry. For-
tunately he has an increased understanding of the
\r.iue of organization. It is equally fortunate that
organized industry recognizes that it can have no p ;r-
luanent prosperity until the 28 million people still j
living on our farms are able to secure materially |
greater returns on their in\• stmanta of capital end
labor.
“Organized industry should be prepared to foster
any sound plan for agricultural stability even though
the operation of such a plan might temporarily modify'
the profits of organized industry. What American
business reeds is a well-balanced nation an encou*-
eged agriculture with our farmers prepared to con-
tinue to furnish the food for the United States now-
growing at the rate of two million people annually."
Engineers Promote Public Health
“Today as a result of modern engineering any-
place may be kept clean and dry and waste disposed
of without the slightesr possibility of contamination j
due to surroundings" said Dr. Morris Fishbein edi-
tor of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"The City of Chicago last year had less than 200
esse* of typhoid fever and less than 20 deaths from
this disease. If the rate prevailed fifty years ago still
persisted there might have been expected HO.OOO to
40000 cases of this disorder. The diminishing rate
has been the result of providing proper water supply
of proper disposal of sewage and constant attention
to cleanliness particularly of milk and finally to some
extent of the use of antityphoid vaccination in the
presence of known cases of the disease.
“The people of Chicago secure their water supply
from cribs erected several miles from the shore line
of Lake Michigan. The water is carried from these
cribs through concrete tunnels to pumping stations
from which it is distributed t0 the people. A system
of enormous reinforced concrete sewers helps carry-
off the wastes of this city.
“The remains of sewers in the cities of the Assyri-
ans in the year 900 B. C. indicate that the disposal
ef waste has always played an important part in the
life of man Without any* knowledge of bacterial in-
fiction tlis ancients nevertheless saw the necessity i
ef prop *r removal of such wastes for a continued
physical existence. !However modern sanitary engi-
neering as known today is of recent origin- The*
building of vast apartment houses and skyscrapers has >
brought about problems in which engineering of all |
types has been combined for promoting public health.
Sewage treatment plant* municipal reservoirs and j
rquaduct* have enabled Luge cities to give their citi-j
tens an adequate supply of pure water.”

THE NEW PROSPERITY
t Beaumont Enterprise).
In a time when the business aituatios is confusing
t«> many people an unu-ually dear analysis of it is
>; ven by Col. Leonard P. Ayres a hanker who has
become a leading authority on American business.
In the old days he says -everybody longed for a Ie*
riod of continuous prosperity." Hut now we have it and
a lot of u* don’t know it. or are kicking about it because
greatest profits in their histones.”
There i« no doubt he declare- that the American
people are “enjoying n protracted period of exceptional
prosperity” which has lasted almost continuously since
jt)22 and has been steady and definitt since iy2o- Fur-
thermore. “it is probable that during iy27 the leading
industrial corporation# in many lines will make the
greatest profits in their histroes.’
What then about the tales of uoe we hear? They
too are based on fact. For this continuous pros-
perity is such a novelty that most of us don't under-
stand it yet. While leading corporations make a lot
of money “it is also probable that the number of
t ankrupteies of smaller companies will be of nearly
iceord-breaking proportions.”
With plenty of capital available manufacturers
have greatly improved their machinery and equipment
and increased their productive power. The )>ig H-
lows are able to produce more cheaply in a little
greater quantity than needed. They cut prices and
still make money by enlarged sale- at smaller profits.
The little fellow* whose production costs are more
tan’t me-t the low prices.
this strange tvpe of prosperity means increased
competition and falling prices. It benefits consumers
_meaning everybody in the capacity of ultimate con-
sumer and benefits the vast numbers connected with
the big well financed successful Industrie- and mer-
cantile establishments. It is genuine national pros-
perity. But it is hard on the smaller fellows on the
independents who cannot stand the pressure of this
competition.
If science Is so wonderful as it claims why
doesn’t it make some effort to cross the rubber plant
with a steel plant and grow tires with metal rim*?—

OPPORTUNITY FOR UNITED STATES TO GAIN
NICARAGUAN CONFIDENCE SEEN
Bv Colonel Henry I. Stimson
Ex*Serretary f War. o
(Henry Lewis Stimson Secretary of War in the
cabinet of President Taft from 1911 to 1913 was
born at New York City. September 21 1M»7. From
1900 to 1909 he served as United States Attorney for
the southern district of New York and in 1910 was
the republican candidate for governor of New York.
In 1915 Colonel Scimson was delegate-at-large to
the New York Constitutional convention. He served
as a colonel of field artillery with the United
States forces in France from December 1917 to
August 1918.)
When 1 reached Nicaragua I found that no prisoners
were being taken on either side. The wounded when
captured were killed and even when not captured
most of them fell victims to the hardships of the
climate and the jungle in which the fighting took
place. Cases were brought to n.y attention where non-
combatants m«n women and children were butchered
in cold blood and also cases where such non-combat-
ants were tortured and mutilated. Furthermore the
country was rapidly drifting into anarchy ami was
becoming filled up with armed men who had formerly-
been in one army or the other and who were choosing
the easier course of becoming bandits.
This situation is now practically entirely ended.
Since May 4 when we succeeded in persuading both
sides to make a truce pending our conferences for
peace there has been no organized fighting between
the two armies.
The transition from war to peace has been accom-
plished by the faith which both sides have in the
promise of the President of the United States in ar-
ranging for American supervision to give to Nicaragua
a free and fair election in 1928.
Once again the liberals place their confidence tn
the United States. The leaders of the army will try
to convince their men that this promise of fair elec-
tions will be fulfilled. The central point which the
army wishes to be assured of is that the United
States will do its best to give Nicaragua a fair elec-
tion in 1928.
I feel that th offer to the United States an oppor-
tunity to win the confidence of Nicaragua and to per-
form a great constructive service to the whole of Cen-
tral Arnerira. I fetl sure that it w i! be regarded by
our people as a sacred trust.

IS S< HOOL WORK HARD?
Just about thi> time of year with final exnmina-
toins approaching a good many students in high
schools and colleges throughout the country are won-
dering whether it’s worth while to continue the effort
required for graduation. There are so many discour-
agements! I have heard some heart-rending wails from
young men who fear they may have to stay away Torn
the formal dinners and dances at the close of the
year because they have no dress suit.
Well that is disheartening.
Hut I've just been reading about the case of young
Edward Tremaine a student at the Northeast high
school Philadelphia. He is one student who Isn't a
hit discouraged by such handicaps as have been handed
out to him. He's twenty years old and still in high
school. A good many boys would consider that cir-
cumstance alone enough to justify them quitting the
battle- If a fellow can't finish nigh school before
he's twenty what’s the use'?
When Edward Tremaine was three years old he was
struck by that terrible blight infantile paralysis. It
left him in bad shape. He has lived in a hospital
since then.
Edward is going to be a lawyer. That's why he is
working hard at his studies in high school. He’s never
been inside the high school building but has pursued
his courses at the hospital where he has a desk. Stu-
dent-teachers help him by giving the necessary
quizzes and discussing the assignments. Edward main-
tains a very high standing in his classes and in due
time will graduate and enter a law school.
• * * *
Philadelphia is a city that is vastly interested in
boys. Its annual Boy Week is a public demonstra-
tion of this interest. This year the annual award for
the most heroic work done by a boy in overcoming a
handicap was given to Edward Tremaine. Certainly
the award was wisely made.
Edward Tremaine I salute you! Permit me to ex-
press my earnest belief in your future. I am as cer-
tain that you will become a successful lawyer as I
am that the courageous spirit cannot be conquered
by ills of the flesh.
JUST A SUGGESTION
It was just a wayside shanty along the P. D. Q. R. R
out west. The troupe of wandering actors set their lug-
gage down on the platform to wait until train tine.
The villain of the outfit having nothing else to do
strode over to where the antique model of a station
agent was narked.
“! say stranger” he began “do the express trains
ever stop here?"
•■Wa-al” was the reply “they did once for Je*so
James.”
NO PATIENTS WANTED
During a flag day in a London suburb recently one
of the pretty and youthful girl sellers approached a
sour-looking gentleman who sat at the wheel of a
luxurious car- “W ill you buy a flag for the hospital
please?” she asked.
“No. thanks” came the surly reply; “I contribute
regularly to the hospital.”
“Ah" put in the girl sweetly “but we’re collect-
ing money today not patients”
UNSATISFACTORY
Pete Wheeler of Hickory Holier had ordered four
tires from a mail order house. They were sent to him.
and a few weeks later the manager of the mail order
house was surprised to find the following letter on
his desk:
“Gentlemen: Four weeks ago I ordered four tire cov-
ers from you. 1 put them on. nd hadn't driven fa-
tten miles before the blame things had wore clean
out. Now I want some new tire cover# or my money
back.—Pete Wheeler.”

Fox sniffed.
“How should you know what I like
or don't like?” said he. “\uV •
youngster let me tell yon something
about Fox nature and you remember j
it. There isn't a Brush tail living
who doesn't love the sport of the j
chase. To be sure no Fox wishes to •
be caught but if he can lead the
pack up hill and down dale and
through the field and forest and gi t
away he is the happiest Four-Foot

Woof' I thought so! There you

The Boy glanced up at Fox peer-

the top of the hiding hole and rue-
fully rubbed his am.
“Not much" said he. “I tw'isted i
my ankle and skinned my elbow but 1
I am mighty lucky that it was no
worse. 1 was stretching my neck to j
see what had become of the Dogs j
and I lost my balance.”
“Oh have the Dogs gone?" asked
the fox. "Well in that case T think
I'll get down out of this hollow."
Suiting the action to the words
down the trunk he slid and before
he could say “Jack Kobinson" Fox
had leaped down beside him.
“Well what do you want to do
next?" asked he but the Boy did not !
answer. He had caught sight of
something hanging half way up on
the further side of the tree.
“Hello what's this? Say. Cutie it
