They’re Tired of Sharing None of
the Advantages, Says Secre
tary Houston.
WASHINGTON. May 1*.—While
not a practical farmer. Secretary of
Agriculture David F. Hourton
given the subject of agriculture year-
of careful etUdy. He stands for edu
cation of the farmers*. He believes
that they have been sorely neglected
in that respect; that their advantage
have been few as compared to thos
enjoyed by city dwellers.
•'Have you discovered any induce
ment to persuade young men on th
farms to remain on them?” the Befcre
tary was asked.
“It iy a problem which cannot h
easily solved,” he replied. “You can’t
hold men on the farms unless you of
fer sufficient inducements. It is li:
tie wonder that farmers and their sons
hare flocked to the cities for fnor**
lucrative and congenial employment.
For many years they have been con
tributing to the partially artificial
upbuilding of our industrial centers,
to the development of the cities as
against their own corn muni tie.**--and
what have they received in return?
You cannot find the best educational
advantages among farming communi
ties. They Iro to be obtained only"
in the larger cities.
Why They Quit the Farm.
"Take a farmer with six small chil
dren, for whom lie desires to provide
an education. They will be sent to
the country school as long as some
one can be. found to take charge of
it, but at best the education received
there is meager if he would give
them an education which will he of
benefit to them, ho must send them
away to some institution of learning,
entailing perhaps greater expense
than he can afford He. must either
maintain hla farm at the expense of
the education of his childen, or move
to one of the large cities. So, edu
cation Oth- !• t lungs, I <!n\
Ing occupants of farms to the cities."
“If the high cost of living is the re
sult of less production and greater de
mand. what remedies would you pro
pose ?”
Too Much Gold.
“Don’t say 'high cost of living.' say,
rather, the cause for high price*. 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 befoTe in the history of our
country. The greater the supply of
gold the higher the prices, and ao the
greater the cost of living."
"Do you believe that the present
tariff, or the tariff presented by the
Democrats, has affected or will affect
the high cost of living?”
“A lower tariff on the necessities of
life should bring about reduced prk
to the consumer; but, not being
tariff expert. I do not pretend to know
Just what effect the present Under
wood Tariff bill will have. It should
bring about reduced prices, but not
all at once. You can not expect too
much of such legislation. It muK
be given a fair trial. Take sugar in
I»uisiana. 1 believe that if the peo
ple of that State could produce it
on a business basis there would be
no need for a tariff on it such as
the people of Louisiana and their
representatives claim. But with a re
duced tariff the railroads might
taliate by increasing their ratps of
transportation. That 1m one of the
contingencies that might prevent a
healthy and remunerative profit to
the sugar producer in Louisiana."
No “Uplift” About It.
Recurring to the education of tru
farmer. Secretary Houston said:
"Don't think that the Department
of Agriculture has any idea of a poi
iev of ‘uplift* among the farmers
What 1 have in mind, and what l be
lieve will be for the best interests
of all concerned, is education along
the lines of better production and bet
ter marketing. More scientific meth
ods must be devised to benefit both
the producer and the consumer. The
farmer*, especially those in the South,
must have better banking facilities,
they must be able to secure loans at
a lower rate of interest A system
, of rural credits must be devised to
give them equal advantages with city
folk.”

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 to
a study 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, say
ing that this age of lawlessness and
unbelief is under Satan, who. through
the ageriey of unclean spirits, suffers
not the true power of God to be ap
prehended.
“For because, said 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 draw-
eth near (The text here and else
where is corrupt.)
"For the sake of those that have
sinned was I given up unto death that
they may return unto the truth and
sin no more, but may inherit the spir
itual and incorruptible glory of right
eousness in heaven.”
A number of variations in other
portions of the New Testament are
also pointed out by The Times in the
Freer manuscripts.

Between $4,500 and $5,000 was the
sum obtained through Tag Day sales
Monday for the benefit of the Shelter
ing Arms Association, according to
Mrs. Gilbert Fraser, president of the
organization.
Owing to the vast amount of small j
change collected, the receipts have not
all been counted, and will not be be- |
for*> Tuesday evening.
Mrs. Fraser said more tags were
sold Monday than ever in the history
of the organization, though premiums
paid for them were unusually small.
"Instead of quarters and half-dol
lars, the people gave nickels and
dimes,” said Mrs. Fraser, “and there
fore returns are not so large.”
The greatest amount of mon y
gathered at any one station was $230,
secured in front of the Third National
Bank building. Mrs. A. Mot). Wilson
was chairman of the committee at
that station.
The entire fund will be devoted to
the Sheltering Arms Association work,
which includes the upkeep of four day

••ARE YOU A MASON?” IS GOOD.
Miss Billy l*ong and company, *1 the
Atlanta last night, presented “Are You
a Mason?” to a crowded house, and it
wasS received with almgst continuous
laughter.
The play is a farce. For the past
three weeks the company has been han
dling more or less serious plays, and
for that reason the presentation of a
pure farce in so capable a manner was
a pleasant surprise.
The distinct surprise of the play was
the work of Bert Gardner, who imper
sonated a female French costumers’ as
sistant, and extracted quite a lot of hu
mor from the scene where he assists
Mrs. Perry (Miss Billy Long) to fit her
waist, while the indignant husband (Ed
win Vail) who is aware of the gender
of the assistant- who is impersonating
the female as a part of the plot and
with the husband's sanction—looks on
in impotent rage.
Ralph Marthy, as Hamilton Travers,
an actor with a thirst, made his acting
stand out as a real merit of the play.
Miss Long’s part this week is more
or less incidental, but was handled with
the splendid skill of the very versatile
star, ami Miss Sheldon as the mother
lias another opportunity to show her
splendid ability as a character artist.
” \re You a Mtfson?” is good for many
a hearty laugh, and can be seen nightly
(except "Wednesday) and at matinees
Wednesday and Saturday.
FINE BILL AT THE FORSYTH.
Cleverly plotted and written and a
laugh from curtain to curtain, “The
Come Back” has no difficulty in main
taining its headline position at the For
syth this week. It is one of the really
laughable college skits. Paul Dickey,
programmed as a former University
of Michigan football star, gets more
than his share of the limelight, being not
only the hero, and a very good one, but
the playwright and the impresario of
the little company as well. He is well
supported by pretty Miss Inez Plummer.
Cornett Morris. Stewart Robbins and
Clay Boyd.
Billy K. Wells. In his Yiddish ora-
toricala, is an invariable bit, and the
bill has two excellent singing acts, those
of Mayo and Allman and of Newhoff and
Phelps Two unusually meritorious ath
letic numbers are on the program this
week. The Apollo Trio are well known
in their bronze posing and reproductions
of sculptural masterpieces. The McAl-
oavey Marvels are comparatively new to
the larger vaudeville circuits, but are
making good with a clever jumping act.
An amusing farce. "The New* Scholar.”
Is presented by Clarence Wilbur and a
JritiUPfeseven ^others.
