rjnjo tlmoa demand clear thinking
and courageous action. Wo must
lant our feet on fundamentals. .Vo
must search a X general laws, nut
ge6 k special cases. During the war
we placed a premium on opeoi'; now
must place a premium cn sanity,
orcrshaclawlng measures
before Congress. Frighten-
ej men aro clamoring for immediate
action. All of the fiv 0 projects are
caritorius, considered directly. All
attempt short cuts from the ocono*
mtes of war to those of peace.
Our demobilized soldiers and sailors
petition for a bonus of a billion or
more . l.'oro of them left good jobs
and returned to find them occupied
or abolished Many were woundcJ
or suffered dlseaso and are lert In an
Incapaciated condition to mako a
freS h start In life. The cancellations
of war Insurance Indicate that want
antj unemployment are rife among our
veterans.
Our farmers find the prices for their
products below tho cost of production,
especially for cereals, wool hi&sa and
cotton. All too often the reb.ms will
not suffice to pay off the loans con
tracted for the season. We need
stimulation of ownership in farms.
We cannot profit by the ruination of
tonants. Europeans hunger an.1 freeze
while our farmers have no market for
surplus product. A credit would rep
resent the difference between solven
cy and insolvency to many farmers,
and alleviation to all.
Our manufacturers mu3t find mar
kets or close down. Already we have
serious unemployment in many lines,
kets or close down. Unemployment
moans suffering to workers’ innocent
families; it holds tho seed of danger
to society. The outside world Is clam
oring for our goods, but cannot buy
against tho high premium dollar. A
credit for export tra.ia would guaran
tee employment during the winter qnd
mako a gradual and safe deflation
possible.
Our railways and our merchant
marine require now capital t > main
tain their functions. A bill! t dol
lars loaned them would reap a na
tional reward in service and efficien
cy. Ineffective transport !s a drag
upon every producer and consumer.
Freight rates cannot be raised again.
I’rivato investors are not atracted un
der present circumstances.
We aro short of houses. A social
and hygenio crisis la impending In
many cities. Investors decline to
erect dw tilings at the present cost of
materials. The government built
houses during the war. Is it not
e(f olly necessary that the people be
sheltered now ?
All ot these combined claim some
tiro million dollars. We have this year
a looming deficit of two billion dol
lars, a prospective one next year of
another billion. Bonds, War Savings
Stamps and Torlft Stamps fall due
thereafter. Tax rotluma are falling
duo to the shrinkage In inventories,
reduction of output, deflation of prices
•nd palsy of enterprise. To cover those
Items we shounldi require daring the
next few years some ten billion dol
lars beyond current receipts.
Where Is the money to be Bought*
European experience shows us the

similar urgent cases. They have
yielded to them, labeled them extra
ordinary expenditures and marched

Paternalism.

The cowpen is undoubtedly a native
of Central Africa. A wild plant dif
fering little frtnu ttie cultivated cow-
pea occurs throughout much of that
cont’nent. Hybrids of this wild plant
and (lie cultivated cowpea ure readily
obtained. The cultivated cowpea con
sists of throe main groups—the as
paragus bean, the entjang, and the
cowpen, each of which represents a
group of varieties hnving much in com
mon but connected through intermedi
ate varlelles. The cowpeu Is tho most
Important of the three groups.
The lurge number and great diversi
ty of cultivated varieties throughout
Afrien and over the southern half of
A Good 8tand of Cowpeas.
Asia and the adjacent Islands os well
as the Mediterranean region of
Europe Indicate that the cowpea Is of
ancient cultivation for human food. It
was early Introduced In the Spanish
settlements In the West Indies end was
grown In North Carolina in 1714,
probably coming from the West In
dies. Its culture In Virginia was re
ported about 1778 and no OAabt was
quite general la the United States
early in the Nineteenth century.
Without doubt, the cowpea Is the
Pbaseolus mentioned by tbs oM Bo
rneo writers. In Italy the Bladreye
cowpen is stiu called by (As same
name os tbs kidney best), namely,
“faglola," which Is the Ration equiva

sinking spells, spots before the eyes,
dizzy spells, nervousness, are only a few
of the symptoms. Every woman at this
age should prefit by Mrs. Block’a experi
ence and try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege

ALL DRUGGISTS SELL IT
Harvester Company
Brands Story False
TOURING the past month, reports have come to us that at farmers* meetings
LJ charges have been made, sometimes directly and aometimea indirectly; that
this Company has adopted a policy of refusing to supply repair parts for old machines
fai order to compel the purchase of new one*. Tnis statement ia absolutely fake.
Such a policy haa never been considered by this Company nor suggested to it.
Ordinarily we ignore such reperta, because we have learned that any large
company, do matter how lair and high principled, is subject at all times to unjust
criticism. The facts are this Companykas always recopdzed the importance of
repair service and has used every effort to make 1HC service the best We believe
we can truthfully my that the repair service furnished wherever this Company’s
goods are sold is equal if not superior to that furnished on any manufactured line.
'Oft all attention to ths fact tfafet machinery **Pbc-uy Weeks." instead oi being
something new and originated by the farmers in 1921, es soma seem to think,
were really tn outgrowth oi the movement suited by manufacturers and dealers*
associations ia eoanoctiaa with the Council oi National Defense as a war con-
eervadoa measure. Perhaps ne other agency bos done so much to promote
“National Repair Weeks" ss this Company.
The farmer need* machines which will be efficient and economical If his old
machines can be repaired ao as to render efficient and economical service, he
would be foolish to purchase new ones. Whether the fanner utilizes and repairs
his old machines or buys new ones is a question for him to determine. But in
making his decision, we give to every farmer who own* any IHC machines the
assurance that a full stock ol repair parts will always be provided by this
> Company.
Today, our repair stocks on the territory available for the fanners are 21 per
cent greater than ever before at this time of the year. An average of a quarter
million pounds of repairs are shipped from IHC factories for every working
day in the year. Thirty million dollars’ worth of repair parts are now ready, as
insurance for the fanner when he needs this service.
In every International Harvester Works manufacturing orders call for repair
parts first and even when furnishing them has meant cutting down production
of new machines for which we had orders, repairs have always had preference.
At every one of our 91 branch houses trained men are on duty to see that all
orders are filled and shipped prompdy. Thousands oi dealers scattered every
where with an assortment of repairs in stock are always ready and willing to
render every assistance.
This service which this Company has rendered through the years to those who
have purchased its machines has been a matter ol great pride to the Company,
and is the foundation of the cordial good-will existing between it and its customers.
We feel it is due the Company and those who have purchased its machines
that we give the widest publicity to the fact that this service of repairs will be
maintained and improved, and that any charges to the contrary are untrue.
