CHATEB XXVIII
A Bunaway
CHARLOTTE shrank? away from
him.* This glowering angry
man was not the Tony she had
loved and married; he was a
stranger, a stranger who accused her
of terrible things. It did, not seem
possible -to Charlotte that a woman
could ever have such thoughts as
Tony accused her of. Nick Fowler
had been kind to her; he had seemed
interested in the things she said;
tb«.t was all. She had been'entirely
unconscious of the fact that she had
expanded like a flower spreading its
Petals open to the sun and sky, and
that people had noticed this fact and
had commented upon it unfavorably,
soiling an innocent thing with sor
didness thinking, of course, the
worst.
"You really think these things of
me?” She said this in a voice so dead
that even Tony was startled.
"I think you have behaved scan
dalously; -what can I really know of
what is in your heart?”
She shrank still further awav into
the shadows and said, tremblingly:
"Please go in now. Tony#,; and leave
me alone; I’ll come as soon as I
can."
He left v her then, his heart trou
gled; but he saw Nick Fowler as
soon as he entered the ballroom, and
Nick was looking about as though
in search of some one. Instantly
Tony’s suspicions were all aroused.
Os course, he was looking for Char
lotte; that was self-evident; the
thing to do was to take her home
immediately. But when he went
back to the place where he had left
her, she had gone.
As soon as Tony had re-entered the
ballroom, Charlotte had slipped
around the clubhouse to another
door, which led into one of the de
serted rest rooms. Her heart was
beating fast, and her brain was
whirling; for the moment she had
but one thought and that was to get
away. Watching her chance, she
slipped into the now deserted dress
ing room and got her wrap from the
maid in attendance, who smiled as
she relinquished it. thinking, of
course, that Charlotte was going for
a stroll in the grounds with a good
looking man. Charlotte tried to smile
and behave Naturally lest the woman
suspect ' anything; but apparently
everything was all right, and the
next minute she was out again, run
ning rapidly down the driveway that
led to the entrance, her wrap held
around her and her high-heeled slip
pers making no sound, for she kept
to the side of the road, running on
the grass.
It was hardly half a mile to the
Harriman place, and as soon as Char
lotte was well out of sight of the
clubhouse she walked more slowly.
She remembered that she must not
arrive breathless and disheveled at
the house lest one of the servants
telephone the club. She knew that
most of them, like Mrs. Harriman,
did not credit her with much brains.
Although there wasn’t one of them
who did not like Charlotte, still they
felt a certain pity for her incompe
tence. As Sarah, the parlor maid,
often said: “If she would only stand
up for her rights instead of taking
everything as meek as a kitten.”
Most of the servants feared Mrs.
Harriman, but they respected her,
and they liked the prestige of her
home.
Charlotte gained the house, and,
walking softly on the wide veranda,
tried one of the long French win
dows that opened into the dining
room. She was quite certain that no
one would be there at that hour, and
she was right. The window pushed
in easily, and there was not a sound
anywhere.
Through the dining room door she
could look into the entrance hall be
yond, and, with a sigh of relief, she
saw that no one was about. She crept
up the staircase and along the upper
hall. Then, with a little bob. she was
in her own room with the door closed
behind her.
CBAFTEB XXIX
ALONE IN THE CITY
ONCE in her bedroom, Char
lotte snapped on all the lights
and began feverishly to un
hook her evening dress. The
hooks and eyes were many and their
position was intricate, but she finally
succeeded in getting out of the dress.
She kicked off the satin slippers and
stripped her feet of the yellow silk
hose. Then she began to dress for
her journey. She wore the simplest
thing her wardrobe possessed, black
buckled shoes, and black silk stock
ings, a sheer blouse and a simple
blue serge suit, so exquisitely cut
that |t would have been a distin
guishing feature anywhere. A soft
little black straw hat covered with
shiny lacquered leaves and a black
handbag completed the costume, and
although the clothes were the sim
f>lest she possessed, Charlotte, as she
ooked in the glass, was not satis
fied. Gladly would she have worn
the coarse underwear and the old
dress in which she had arrived with
such high hopes at the Harriman
home, but all her old things had been
thrown away and she had no choice.
She pulled out a bag, threw in a
few necessities, and then she was
ready.
Luck was with her, for she met
no one in the hall nor on the stairs.
Loud laughter came from somewhere
in the back of the house, and she
decided that the servants must be
having an affair of their own. She
went out the front door, and hurried
down the driveway. Once at the sta
tion she bought a ticket for New
York, learned that a train was due
in ten minutes and waited in the
darkest corner of the station plat
form.
In the dusty day coach she breath
ed a sigh of relief. So far she had
not given herself time to think. Her
one thought had been to get away,
but now she realized that she had
cut herself off from Tony forever.
The fact that he had accused her of
terrible things did not seem of so
much importance now that she had
run away from him. And she cried
silently into her handkerchief all the
way to the city.
It wasn’t until she reached New
York that she realized how impossi
ble it would be for her to get to
Westonbury that might. She would
have to stay at a hotel, and the
thought terrified her. A porter took
charge of her bags and piloted her to
a taxicab. Fared with the knowledge
that she would have to go somewhere
she murmured the name of the only
hotel she happened to remember. As
it happened, it was an old conserva
tive hotel where not much of the
New York night life is visible after
10 o’clock. Charlotte had always
longed to stay overnight at a big
New York hotel, but tonight she was
too miserable to realize anything
She cried herself to sleep in the big
bed, with the rdar of the elevated
not’ a block away and the clang of
the Thirty-fourth street cars directly
under her windows.
She was not missed at the country
club for several dances, and then as
she did not reappear in the ballroom,
Mrs. Harriman called Tony to her
and asked where Charlotte was.
"Out sulking somewhere, I sup
pose,” he said half sullenly.
“Go and find her, she oughtn’t to
disappear like this; it.will be no
ticed.” . . j.-
And Tony went; but he did not
find Charlotte. At first he was in
credulous. She must be hiding
somewhere, but when he had asked
several of the attendants who shock
their heads and said they had n,d
seen her, he realized that she must
have gone home.
Mrs Harriman had gone directly to
the dressing room, where the maid
reported that Charlotte had been
there and had taken her wrap, but
she had not ordered the car, for the
chauffeur had stared in amazement
when questioned

ballroom he had been sorry for some
of the things he had said, but now he
felt that Charlotte deserved every
thing and more.
The drive home in the car was a
dreary one. At first, Mrs. Harriman
had been disposed to talk. ‘’Didn’t
I tell you how it would be, Tony?
You can’t make a silk purse out of
a sow’s ear, you know, which re
mark is vulgar but true. Charlotte
does not want to do the things you
want her to do, and because your
friends thought she was stupid, she
has retaliated by this vulgar flirta
tion.”
Tony was silent. Even now he d’d
not feel that Charlotte had deliber
ately' flirted. There was something
too childish, too fragily innocent
about her for that, but he did not un
derstand her attitude. If she were
innocent and desirous of pleasing
him, why didn’t she show more ev
idence of it?
Mrs Harriman rang or Janice as
soon as she reached home and Janice
held up her hands in amazement
when asked if she had seen young
Mrs. Harriman.
“Why no, madame, I thought she
was with you.”
"She must have come home earlier.
She wasn’t feeling well,” Mrs. Harri
man said smoothly. She had no wish
to have the family scandal handled
about on the lips of the servants.
"Very well, Janice. I’ll ring when
I need you.” And Mrs. Harriman
proceeded upstairs followed by Tony.
She flung open the door of Char
lotte’s room without the preliminary
of knocking, fully expecting to see
the culprit cowering in bed, but the
room did not reveal Charlotte. It
did, however, show her evening gown
flung across a chair, and bureau
drawers were pulled out as though
things had been taken hurriedly on.
of them. The little nest flooded with
rose-colored light was empty, the
bird had flown.
There was a long moment, and
then Mrs. Harriman turned and
looked at Tony. His handsome young
face was white and set, all the anger
had died out of it.
"She hasn’t gone without leaving
a note; it isn’t possible!” And Tony
rushed to the dressing table, turning
over the delicate things in his haste.
He rushed from there to the bed, but
there was no note pinned to the pil
low. The most dilligent hunt re
vealed nothing at all, and Mrs. Har
riman stood watching her son with
a little smile that boded no good,
flickering around her handsome, but
rather hard mouth.
"Well, Tony," she said finally,
"are you satisfied? Don’t you see,”
she went on, going over to him and
putting her hand on his soulder,
"that Charlotte isn’t what you
thought her? Doesn’t this prove it?
Now I’m going to ask you to do
something for me. Don’t go after
her, let her come to her senses if you
think she will, and write to you her
self. She owes you that much.”
Mrs. Harriman was cleverly read
ing her son’s thoughts and putting
her own ideas into his head before
he should have time to act. She knew
that his first thought would be to
go after Charlotte and to bring her
home, but if she could forestall this
impulse while he had a chance to
think matters over, perhaps things
might work out yet to her own lik
ing. A quiet divorce, and his eyes
opened to the charm and attraction
of Edith Comstock; it might not be
too late even now for a readjust
ment.

new life. How she had dreamed of
life and love and how different it all
was from what she had imagined.
She sat quietly in her seat now.
There &as no restive movement, no
eager turning from side to side, no
questions. She did not cry, she felt
that she would never cry again, but
her heart was heavy within her. The
train rushing on was taking her back
home, back to the farm that she had
been so glad to leave. And sudden
ly she remembered her father’s part
ing words to her.
"Go if you want, but don’t come
back when you need help.” And she
did need help, and more than help,
comfort. But suppose her father
would not let her come in, suppose
he told her that she ha-d made her
bed and must lie on it? What should
she do then? She could work, of
course, there must be something else
to consider. There was the baby.
Tony’s baby, and the terrible time of
waiting ahead. How could she live
through that time? And yet one
had to go on living, there was noth
ing else to do about it.
When she alighted at the little sta
tion shortly after noon, it-seemed
smallep and dingier than ever. The
August sun beat down drearily on
the unshaded platform. Far off to
the right were trees, but here there
were only the shining tracks that
looked red hot in the sunlight, and
Charlotte’s head ached intolerably
while black specks danced madden
ingly before her eyes.
A man drove up in a dusty buggy
as she stood still wondering if she
could manage the long hot walk. She
pushed back her veil to see him bet
ter and the hot blood rushed to her
face. It was Jim Winslow. He
stared unrecognizingly as she walked
over to him. This fashionably
dressed young woman with the smart
buckled shoes and the little French
hat did not look at all like little
Charlotte Graves. But when she
smiled up at him with the old child
ish, wistful smile, he clambered
down from his seat and held out his
big hand awkwardly.
“Why, Charlotte, I didn’t recog
nize you.”
"I suppose I am changed,” and she
tried to speak naturally.
“Where you goin’, over to the
farm?”
"Yes.”
"Are they expectin’ you?”
“No, it’s a surprsie visit, and I was
wondering how I. could get over
there. It’s so hot to walk. And I
have this bag.”
Jim had already taken the bag and
was stowing it away under the seat.
! "Jump in,” he said heartily, "and I’ll
take you over in a jiffy.”
He helped her up, carefully holding
her skirt away from the dusty wheel,
and soon they were jogging along
the roa.l, Charlotte answering in
monosyllables fearful taht Jim might
ask her something personal, and Jim
eyeing her sideways and deciding
that in spite of her clothes, Charlotte
looked pretty peaked.
“Husband didn’t come, eh?” he re
marked finally.
"Not this time,” and she turned
to smile at him disarmingly.
“Well, there ain’t much up here to
attract a city chap like him, we’re
just plain folk."
“But nice folk, Jim. I’ve always
been sorry that I didn't say good-bye
to some of my friends up here, but
everything happened so quickly.”
Charlotte was watching Jim’s
strong brown hands as they held the
reins so loosely and so surely in their
grasp. They were kind hands—hands
she might have done well to trust,
when Jim Winslow had come a-woo
ing, in that time long ago before
she had met Tony.

AKD SUCCESSFUL FARMING
. Dr Andrew K Soule
Breeds of Live Stock Suited to the
South
D. J. 8., Augusta, Ga„ writes;
I wish some information in re
gard to tho various breeds of
live stock adapted to our south
ern climate. I am anxious to get
back into stock raising and wish
to keep posted on the different
breeds.
There is n<? reason why we should
not raise mules effectively In this
section of the south. To do this we
heed a larger and heavier boned type
of dam than we have been using
in the past. The jack should be of
good size and quality, because with
the heavier type of farm implements
we are now using more size and
strength is desirable than in for
mer years.
There is probably no one breed
of horses better adapted to the south
for general utility purposes than
the Percheron. Draft horses can be
raised with some success and profit
provided the right type of founda
tion stock is secured and the ani
mals are skilfully handled and prop
erly fed and cared for.
Os the dairy breeds the Jersey
and the Holstein stand out as the
preeminent breeds. The Jersey cow
is essentially a family cow. The
Holstein is more of a general pur
pose cow and valuable where milk
is to be sold in large quantities lor
direct consumption or for the making
of cheese. The Jersey is more es
sentially a butter cow. Both breeds
do well in all parts of the state of
Georgia.
Among the beef breeds that have
made a good record in Georgia are
the Herefords and Shorthorns. There
are some Angus as well. The first
two breeds mentioned are standard
throughout the United States and are
well suited for handling under our
soil and climatic conditions. Where
one wishes to specialize in beef
production one would not make a
mistake in selecting either one of
these breeds.
Practically all the standard breeds
of hogs do well in Georgia. Prob
ably the Duroc Jersey, the Poland
China, the Hampshire and the Berk
shire are the most widely dissemi
nated breeds. One would not make
a mistake in selecting foundation
stock from any of the classes of
hogs mentioned. There are also other
good breeds of hogs. My experience
and observation leads me to believe
that there is about as much in the
man and the management of a
standard breed of stock as there is
in the particular type or mass of
animals selected.

I am coming to you for advice.
I am a girl twenty-four years old,
and want to be a milliner. Can any
one go to a millinery school who has
only a ordinary education? Can
you give me the address of a mil
linery school? Your help wi.ll be
very much appreciated. z
, D. 11.
One does not require more
than an ordinary education to
be a milliner. If you wish to
learn to be a milliner, there are
.several schools here in Atlanta
that charge around $25 for a
course. And there are .several
firms here who will take on
girls as apprentices and learn
the trade. You might write to
J. Regenstein, 40 Whitehall
street, Atlanta, and ask for in
formation. They are wholesale
and retail milliners and may be
able to place you. Also to Max

I have been reading your good ad
vice to others. 1 am coming to
you now. I’m a girl of fifteen years
old, am in love with a boy or
twenty. We have been going to
gether for seven months. We were
engaged to be married in July, but
we put it off on the account ot
hard times. He only lives eight
miles from me. He calls to see me,
every Sunday. He says he can love
no other as he loves me. But he (
seems to care less for me than he i
did when he asked me to marry him.
We have kissed each other a tew
times. He has put his arms around
me twice. Do you think I did wrong
or not? Do you think he cares
much for me as often as he calls or
not. If not please advise me in
next paper how to win his love
again. Please print in next paper.
Lonely,
SWEETHEART.
I am afraid you have allovyed
your sweetheart too many Privi
leges and he, like so many other
men, tire of the carresses, when
so easily gotten—therefore, it is
always wiser to xvithhold all en
dearing ways until after a girl
marries. Man is very fickle,
and he is a natural born hunts
man, whether he is conscious of
it or not. Therefore in order
to make your life a success, to
end happpily in marriage, you
must keep your embraces and
kisses, as a trophy—to be won
after marriage.
I am coming to you for a IRtJ®
advice. I am a girl nineteen years
old and I am in love with two b°YS.
One is nineteen, the other is twenty
seven I love the older boy better
than the young one. The older boy
drinks very hard and does not seem
to care for me like the other boy
doe|s. The younger boy has asked
me To marry him. I am afiaid 1 do
not love him well enough to mairy
him. What would you advise me
to do? Don’t seem like I can be
happy with the younger one. Do
you think I am old enough to mdrry
Also tell me how I can improve my
skin. I have rough, dry, scaly spots
on my face. Thanking you very
much for your advice. Please print
in next J° urna^ ROUBLED GIRL.
You will be better off if you
will let the twenty-seven-year
old man go. If he drinks to ex
cess and is indifferent toward
you now, he will be more so I
fear after you are married, to
him. If you do not love the nine
teen-year-old young man, you
don’t have to marry him, you
know. Besides he is rather
young to marry for several years
yet. Why don’t you try to be
come interested in some one else.
You will have plenty of time to
marry in the next five years.

We have a good many shoats
that have something like mange,
except they do not get sore, but
hair sheds off and they stop
growing although they eat
heartily/ We have lost about
fifteen head. I would like to
have a remedy. I have been
told that polk roots boiled and
thickened with meal would do
them good. Do you think there
is anything in this?
Gypsum, if used on peanuts,
should be applied immediately. I
am presuming, of course, that you
wish to plant the crop as sipon as
practicable. Gypsum is best scat
tered over the surface of the ground
and borrowed into the soil lightly.
Deep covering is to be avoided. The
application of gypsum can, of course,
be made just before the peanuts are
planted. If a few days elapse so
much the better. It can be put on
after the peanuts are planted, but it
would be rather awkward and dif
ficult to apply it under these condi
tions, therefore we advocate its use
before the crop is planted. We think
1,000 pounds per acre ■would be the
amount to use.
You can of course substitute finely
crushed raw lime rock for gypsum
if you can obtain it any cheaper.
The conditions described in your
letter would lead us to believe that
your hogs are suffering from a chron
ic form of cholera. We may, of course,
be mistaken in this, as it is very
difficult to recognize a disease where
the description of it is as meager
as that provided through the med
ium of your letter. In your situa
tion we would secure the services
of a competent veterinarian at once
and have him diagnose the trouble
and prescribe for it. If the trouble
is of the nature we suggest it is
likely to spread throughout <your
herd. It may assume a virulent form
at any time. In any case, you cannot
hope to raise hogs successfully until
you stamp it out, as this trouble mi
litates against growth and develop
ment very materially and results in
the stunting of the animals as well.
Besides that, a disease of this char
acter is likely to spread throughout
the community. Moreover, you will
probably infect your own grounds
and buildings so as to make it diffi
cult, or virtually impracticable, to
raise hogs for a number of years.
It is important that you employ an
expert to aid you in handling this
case. The use, of the polk roots in
the manner indicated would not be
of any benefit in combating the
trouble if it is of the character we
have suggested.

him it was all right, to come, ant

with are going to marry. Please tell
me how to win her back. I am al
most crazy. I' love her better than
; anyone else in the world. My life
will be ruined forever if she marries
someone else. So please give me your
best advice.
JACK.
I am afraid your young lady
friend does care for someone
' else. You should have thought
about, all of this when you were
going with the "other girls.”
’ There is nothing to do now but
grin and bear it, or go to this
girl and tell her you love her,
and ask her to listen to your
pleading, that you want to marry
her if she will have you. In or
der to win out, you must sacri
fice your pride enough to go to
see her and tell her the state of
your feelings. You can but try,
you know.
I am a lonely girl coming to you
for advice. I am sixteen years old,
am in love with a boy nineteen. He
comes to see me three times a week
for he lives fourteen miles away
from my home and can’t come very
often. But when he is not at home
I I am afraid he is off with some other
girl. Do you think he loves me?
U He brings me candy each time he
I comes. I have a nice time with
1 him. We go for a ride on Sunday
I afternoon.
I have a girl friend who loves him
- dearly. I am afraid she will win
his heart away from me. Do you
, think she can?
He has never asked me to marry
him. How can I get him to ask me?
I will describe myself: I am six
teen years of age, have blue eyes,
j black curly hair, four feet seven
! inches tall, fair complexion and am
not bashful. Do you think lam good
looking? Do you think I am two
large to wear my hair in culs? Do
you think I will marpv him?
A LONELY GIRL.
You must not permit yourself
to get the idea that you haven’t
personality enougli to attract
i this or any other boy, enough to
‘j hold him. "Self depreciation” is
a bad tiling, at the same time
1 ; don’t go to extremes and get full
• j of conceit. You are inclined to
j be jealous. Let the boy prove
•I his devotion to you by refraining
from asking him questions about
■I how he spends his time when
L ! away from you. Evidently he.
1 must like you if he calls so
often. Let him do the courting.
And you must not nag him about
other girls.

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
A Bemarkable Article from U. S. Sec
retary Wallace, of Agriculture
Hon. Henry C. Wallace,, the new
secretary of agriculture, in Mr. Har
ding's cabinet, has written a most
extraordinary article on agriculture
in a late number of the Dearborn In
dependent, the paper which Mr. Hen
ry Ford established and supported
and ■which Mr. Ford writes for once
a week.
As the readers of the Country
Home columns are largely engaged
in agriculture, it cannot fail to be in
teresting to farmers and their good
Wives.
Says Mr. Wallace: “We have come
to a time in our national life, when
our agriculture must be put on a
sound, economical basis. It is a mat
ter of pressing concern to both pro
ducer and consumer. We are the
best producers in the world, but ou* -
sales system is very bad indeed. We
must study everything, both produc
tion and price. Our sales system is
certainly very bad, indeed.. .
who control the finances of the coun
try and who- have it in their power
to influence either directly or infli
rectly the extension of credit can ex
ercise a large amount of control over
the prices of farm products.
“The same is also true of the ad
ministration of our transportation
systems. Through the simple device
of the flow of cars, the prices of
products can be put up or down at
the will of those who exercise such
control.
"VVe had some costly expereinces.
along this line, during the late war.
“People who are familiar with ag
riculture find it very difficult to un
derstand the situation. They refuse
to believe that this depression is as
serious as it really is. They point to
the high values of our land—to the
high prices that farm products
brought during the war—the large
number of automobiles bought and.
owned by farmers —-and they just re
fuse to take seriously what the farm
ers ire now saying about depressed
farming conditions. These cotton
growers of the south, the grain grow
ers of the west, the cattle and sheep
growers of the northwest —the fruit
growers—all these great industries
are badly crippled and are going
throupgh a valley of financial depres
sion and discouragement and finan
cial distress ”
Farm products are far below the
cost of production and much lower
than the basic prices of regular com
modities in normal price war times.
It is indeed a crucial period, but the
greater the crisis the more need for
keeping a level head. This is no time
in the world for prejudices and no
Texas Is Scored as
Would-Be Land Grabber
In Supreme Court Suit
WASHINGTON, May 31. —The
state of Texas is attacked as a
"would-be land grabber” in briefs
filed today in the supreme court by
Frank W. Clancy, counsel for New
Mexico, in the original suit of that
state against Texas to obtain an offi
cial delimitation of the interstate
boundary alon< the Rio Grande river.
Declaring that the present claim
of Texas would put the Rio Grande
“on rocky bluffs or sand hills, far
above any possible bed of the river, ’
the brief called attention of the
court to what was described as “the
predatory and unscrupulous charac
ter of the defendant (Texas) in land
matters.”
"That a community may have a
character, as a whole, apart from
the individuals composing it, ought
to be conceded,” the brief declared.
"Regarding Texas, then, as a com
munity with a psychology, character,
or soul of its own, let us briefly ex
amine its record as a would-be land
grabber.
"One of its earliest demonstrations
was in December, 1836, as noted by
this court in number 162 U. £?., the
republic of Texas at that time adopt
ing a resolution declaring one of its
boundaries to be from the mouth of
the Rio Grande to its source. This
claim was without a shadow of foun
dation. Yet the effrontery of Texas
in making this preposterous claim
was rewarded by the payment of
$10,000,000 from the United States
by the act of September 30, 1850,
which established the territory of
New Mexico.
“Next attention should be called
to the Greer county controversy to
settle which the United States was
compelled to institute suit against
Texas in this court . . . and as
a final result Texas was deprived of
land it had unjustly claimed amount
ing to more than a million and a
half acres.
"The claims of Texas to land in
the vicinity of El Paso have involved
our government in a prolonged dip
lomatic controversy with Mexico as
to the merits of which I am unable
to speak, but I have been told by one
for whose judgment I have great re
spect, that Mexico has rather the
best of the contention.”
More than 1.000 pages of the brief
are devoted to abstracts of testi
mony of veteran citizens of the ter
ritory in dispute regarding the loca
tion of the river channel in 1850
when the territory of New Mexico
was created.

Atlanta, Ga.
THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1921-
time for shallow thinking. We are
now in competition with farmers of
all the world.
This situation should challenge
the very best thought of the nation.
Os course this nation is not going
bankrupt. Those farmers will not
go bankrupt, nor are they going to
lie down on their job.
We incurred a big national debt,
or inflated prices. We‘have a great
food surplus. We should try to
reach methods for producing food
products for better prices.
There are some people who think
farmers should not concern them
selves in the matter of marketing.
They look upon him as the man
whose sole business is to produce.
No one questions the right and the
property of a manufacturing selling
the products of his factory to the
best possible advantage once he has
produced them.
The right of the farmer to do the
same thing cannot be questioned.
There is a good deal more of this
explanatory talk, but I am disap
pointed he did not point out a
clear path to better sales for farm
products. That’s the milk in the
cocoanut. We are all well informed
as to the wasteful extravagance of
farmers in buying automobiles on a
credit, and buying high-priced land
on credit. I can tell the secretary
that the United States government
set the pace for extravagance and
the debt of the nation is manifestly
due to extravagance.
Secretary Wallace, thus concludes:
“Competition by Americans with
Europeans for instance means dis
tancing the day when fiscal objec
tions shall be satisfactorily adjust
ed.”
I will just drop a hint to these
great men in official position.
Europeans have been loaned vast
sums (to keep Germany from over
coming them) by the United States.
The interest now due a good many
billions of money loaned for this
purpose, should be paid, and would
come in handy to finance the strug
gling agriculturists in America who
are taxed to exhaustion to pay the
interest cm Liberty bonds and the
money that the Liberty bonds sold
for was accordingly transferred to
the allies in Great Britain. France
and Italy.
Charity begins at home, occasion
ally. A little attention to home needs
and a few millions of legal interest
from the allies, would put a better
complexion on the agricultural con
ditions of this, our own country.
