U* 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 tle wonder that farmers and thrir sons the Cities tnr {DOCS lucrative and congenial employment For many years they hav 11« • ii tributlrtg to (he partially artificial upbuilding of our industrial centers, to the development of the cities as against their own conrjmuilitlen—and 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."

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.

Miss Billy Long and company, at the Atlanta last night, presented "Are You a Mason?” to a. crowded house, and it was received with almost continuous laughter. The play is a fare**.
