Wh
cation of the farmers. H** believes
that they have been sorely neglected
in that respect; that their advantages
hive 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 i« a problem which cannot be
rasily solved," he replied. "You can’t
hold men on the farms unless you of
fer sufficient inducements. It is lit

what have they received In return"
You cannot find the best educational
advantages among farming communi
ties. They are to be x obtained only
in the larger cities.
Why Tbay Quit the Farm.
"Take a farmer with six small chil
dren, for whom he desires to provide
an education. They will be sent to
the country school as long as some
one can be found to tuke charge of
it, but at best the education received
there is meager If he would give
them an education which will be of
benefit to then\, ho must send them
■ way to some institution oT learning,
entailing perhaps greater expense
than he can afford He must either
maintain his farm at the expense of
the education of his chUden. 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
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. cans** 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 before in the history of our
Country. The greater the supply of
gold the higher the prices, and no the
greater the cos»t of living."
"Do you believe that the present
tariff, or tho tariff presented by the
Democrats, has affected dr will affect
the high cost of living."*
"A lower tariff on the, necessities of
life should bring about reduced prices
to the consumer; but, not being a
tariff expert. 1 do not pretend to know
just what effect the present Under
wood Tariff iiill will have. It should
bring about reduced prices, but not
all at once. You can not expect too
much of such legislation. It mu«t
be given a fair trial. Take sugar In
Louisiana. I believe that if the peo
ple of that State could produc'd 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. Put with a re
duced tariff the railroads might ir -
raliate by increasing their rates of
transportation. That b* one of the
contingencies that might prevent \
healthy and remunerative profit to
the. sugar producer in Louisiana.”
No “Uplift” About It.
Recurring to the education of the
farmer. Secretary Houston said:
"Don’t think that the Department
of Agriculture has any idea of a pol
icy of ‘uplift’ among the farmers.
What 1 have in mind, and what 1 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
farmers, especially those iti 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 «o
give them equal advantage? with cl tv
folk."

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 by
the University of Michigan, to which
Mr. Freer assigned the task of publi
cation, and according to The Times’
study, there have been fopnd 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 agency 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 dra;v-
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 splr.
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.
