MAY 13, 1913. - - - ' . mini 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.” MACON MAN TO BE TRIED FOR SHOOTING NEIGHBOR MACON.

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.

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.)

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.

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.
