He believes that they have be*n .*»orelu neglecierj in that respect; that their advantages have been few as compared to those enjoyed by city dwellers. “Have you discovered any induce ment to persuade young men on the farms to remain on them?” the Secre tary was asked. “It a problem which cannot be easily solved,” he replied. “You can’t hold men on the farms unless you of fer sufficient inducement* It is lit tle wonder that farmer* and their sons have fiobked to the Cities for more lucrative and congenial employment.

Why They Quit the Farm. “Take a farmer with six ottuUI chil dren, for whom he desires to provide an education. • Thej will be sent to the country school as long as some one can he found to take charge of it, but at best the education received there is meager. If he would giv- them an education which will be of benefit to them, ho must send them away to tome institution of learning, entailing perhaps greater expense; than he can afford. He must either maintain his farm at the expense of the education of his chikien. or move to one of the large cities. So. edu cation. among other things, is driv ing occupants of farms to the cities.” "If the high cost of living is the re suit of less production and greater de mand what remedies would you pro pose?” Too Much Gold. '•Don't say 'high coat of living,' say, rather, the cause for high prices. One great contributing cause Is the enor mous increase in the production and supply of gold, during: the past eigh teen years. There is more gold now than ever bafofe in. the history of our country. The greater the supply of gold the higher the prices, and so the greater the. cont of living." “Do you behave that the present tariff, or the tariff presented by the Democrats, has affected or will affect the high c-oat of living?" “A lower tariff on the necessities of life should bring about reduced prices to the consumer, but, not being a tariff expert.

Recurring to the ('duration of the j farmer, Secretary Houston said: “Don’t think that the Department j of Agriculture has any idea of a poi- j icy of ‘uplift’ among the farmers.

MODE VERSES FOR NEW TESTAMENT Parts of Gospel Long Missing Dis covered Among Ancient Man uscripts From Egypt. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, May 13.—Some long missing verses of the New Testament are included in manuscripts of the Gospel discovered in Egypt six years ago and purchased by Charles L. Freer, of Detroit, Mich., according *o a acudy made of the Freer manu scripts by The Times. A facsimile of the writings has been presented to the British Museum oy the University of Michigan, to which Mr. Freer assigned the task of publi cation, and according to The Times’ study, there have been found in the gospel of St. Mark several verses which occur in no other known manu script of the New Testament, although they were known to St. Jerome, who quotes part of them. In the Freer manuscript, after the passage in which it is said that Jesus upbraided His disciples for their un belief. the text continues as follows: “And they excused themselves, sav ing that this age of lawlessness and unbelief is under Satan, who. through the agericy of unclean spirits, suffers not the true power of God to be ap prehended. "For because, aaid they unto Christ, reveal at once Thy righteousness. “And Christ said unto them, Th« limit of the years of the powers of Satan is (not) fulfilled, but it dra;v- eth near.
