PACKING THE SUPREME COURT Justice Clark, of the supreme bench, has resigned and he will be succeeded by Senator Sr thvilnnd, of Utah, a sugar trust senator, a reactionary of the most rabid type, a representative of the plunderbund and a man so wholly unfitted for a 1'fe iob on the supreme bench that the public recoils with horror at the thought. The big initertets have certainly made hay during- the Harding regime and they may reST assured that if enough vacancies occur, on the supreme bench during the next two years and a half, they will have th Y ‘ highest ctfart in the land completely packed by agents of the selfish, interests and it will take a generation to lift the tyrrannous load from the backs of ,he burdened people. It is just such appointments as tha^ of Taft and Sutherland to the supreme court fr,at puts rebellion in the hearts of the vicfms and if the revolt predicted by radical elements ever does materialize it will be because of the acts of selfish interests whose representatives seem to be pressing their luck to the breaking point. The unspeakable Daugherty, a little mind, a small time serveling of the money molocks, placed by a small time president in a position of dangerous poVer its another symptem of the Harding dry rot which is devitalizing a great republic. Men with small mean minds, men who do not comprehend the meaning cf freedom patriotism and self-sacrifice have been placed in command of the multitude, and the blood of the thinking masses boils. God help suffering America. The America we love is in the hands of the Hessians and the thoughtless people slumber in slothful stupor while their liberties and independence are being undermined by men who would enslave them and pauperize them.

UNSAFE PROMOTION SCHEMES Three Scheme* Have Seen Investigated' by Kansas Authorities and Found Woithl«®«. Kansu* stats farm bureau has recently iurestisated three sales promotion schemes and found them unsafe. Farmers hare been advised not to taka stock in them. One company iaTsatijated was selling; stock on filling statiens and guaranteed a 18 1-S per cent discount on gasoline and eils. Investigation showed that the market would net warrant oil companies giving this kind of a discount. This would indicate that promoters are misrepresenting conditions to farmers or are depending on making money on stock sold te build those filling stations. The bureau was asked to investigate a live stock insurance company whose headquarters were supposed to be in Omaha. An investigation shows that no such company exists. The blue sky law which is now before congress Is also being supported by the farm bureau. This legislation aims to prevent promoters of worthless and fr&udnlent securities from using the United States mail. The bill •has been reported favorably and seems certain of passage.

REDUCTION OF RATES I MEANS GREAT SAVING

PURCHASE Or BINDER TWINE

Federated Marketing Service of Indiana Negotiates Big Deal

for Its Members.

Gain of Approximately $127,000,000 Made by Farmers of the United States. The reduction of 10 per cent in freight rates throughout the country on all commodities except agricultural .products ordered on May 24 by the interstate commerce commission will mean approximately $127,000,000 to the farmers of the United States. As a result of a petition presented by the American Farm Bureau federation to the interstate commerce commission last October, the railroad executives granted a 10 per cent reduction on all agricultural commodities for a temporary period of sir months, which has netted the ship^ pers an estimated $55,000,000. Another $38,000,000 was saved to shippers in the reduction made in the Western Hay and Grain case. The revenue of the carriers for 1921 was $3,906,599,521. A 10 per cent cut from this amount would be approximately $400,000,000, $93,000,000 of which have already been saved the shipper by the other two reductions. Since the farmer pays 55 per cent of the freight it means that he would get the benefit of $220,000,000. Nine-ty-three millions have already been

She received not long ago a visit ! from her long absent husband, who J had left her to shift for herself and her baby for three years. He told her he had bought her a home. And it was a fact that he had. It is a $10,000 house, upon which he has paid $1,500 and given her the bond for title. He is going to pay the balance in quarterly installments of $100, or as much more as he can afford, he tells her. Who blames Mrs. Clarke for her present unwillingness to talk about her long period of domestic unhappiness and abandonment? She and her little boy, now twelve, have moved into the home and Clarke promises to provide a servant—a thing Mrs. Clarke has not known in years, although she comes from one of the most highly respected families in Atlanta. Her brother is Dr. E. C. Caitledge, a well-known local physician, with whose help Mrs. Clarke made the arrangements with the police by which the raid in Pryor street was carried out. Meanwhile Clarke and Mrs. Tyler contiiipe to be seen riding together about the streets of Atlanta in one of the six costly automobiles that one or the other or both own. Following her removal from the Pryor street house Mrs. Tyler moved to a bungalow on Howell Mill road. On the property a handsome colonial house is now being built- The property is in her name. In the city directory for this year Clarke is listed a's residing at No. 886 West Peachtree street. This is the home of his mother and his brother, Francis W. Clarke, city editor of the Atlanta Constitution, whose name is the only one listed in the telephone book for

that address.

Mrs. Clarke was a graduate druggist before her marriage. She is a woman of refinement and splendid family antecedents, who shunned the thought of a scandalous court trial. Until Clarke inagurated his compulsory montihly payments of $75 she worked as a nurse. Now she is obtaining, considerably more than either he or she bargained for in court.

After consultation with Policewoman "Davis, who had participated in the raid and arrests, Piecorder George E. Johnson ordered the prisoners docketed under their real names of Edward Young , Clarke and Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, and under those names they were tried, found guilty of disorderly conduct and sentenced to pay $5 fines or work 12 days on the streets or other public works of Atlanta.

A reply to a questionnaire sent to

Iowa says: “The 10 per cent reduction, although not adequate for general prosperity, has helped the farmer directly; our feed for poultry Is shipped in cheaper, we can. ship the live or dressed poultry cheaper and our freight on items not poultry, but an expense in doing business, is some cheaper. The reductions have been

added up and paid to the farmer.” Replies from -Michigan have indi-

cated that benefits resulting from the reduction have been passed along through the hands of the dealers into

the pockets of the producers. Illinois says: “In our opinion the

10 per cent reduction has stimulated the poultry and egg business in our territory especially. The farmer has enjoyed the full benefit from same. The ffarmers are buying other commodities with more confidence ffhd both labor and business conditions have improved. We trust the railroads will continue the present reduction and that In the near future they will see their way clear to grant other reductions for the benefit of business

generally.”

Replies from Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Kentucky and other states to which the questionnaires were sent contain much the same opinions that have been quoted here.
