LIBERTY, happiness, prosperity, all these wonderful things that we take for granted are symbolized best by our national flag, affectionately known as “Old Glory.” And it does not take much imagination to visualize how much the designing and making of that flag meant to the band of men in whose hands lay the destinies of an independent pet pie determined to found a country, rather than be a colony. • u r It is very appropriate, tnereiorc, that the woman who made our first flag, should have been born on January 1- For - N ?

YEAR ENO REVIEWS OF WORLD EVENTS -

Two current fetors com-1 blns to make the out.ook .or .hv farmer In 1930 the brightest since: 1?

The secoul step, the grin ing hlah tariff protection to the proX Os the farms, was likewise detc hired in prim !pl. in 192 ’ o B "’ the violent d'fferences of opinion as to whether tariff revision should in chide manufactured comtnodl les. and if so whether these rates shotilu be raised or lowered, has postponed:

, record that Mrs. Ross, young, bright, and very shrewd, ran a i very prosperous upholstery business on Arch street, below Third, in Philadelphia. She was the widow ’ of John Ross, nephew of Colonel George Ross, who was one of the , committee appointed by Congress in June, 1776, to design a suitable ’ flag for the nation. George Wash- ■ ington, who was one of the committee, had frequently called on > Mrs. Ross to embroider his shirt i ruffles and do other needlework for him, and so it was to her that . he turned for advice about the • flag, how it should be made, so i that it conformed to the rough , drawing that had already been made embodying the ideas of the ■ committee. “ > Mrs. Ross objected to the sixF pointed stars in the original de i sign, suggesting in place the five-

But wnether th’s may be regarded as a part of genenl agrii cultu .1 policy is a matter of individual opinion. High Protective Tariff Th re can be no such doubt as to i high protective tariff rates on farm p oducts. To this principle the nation ha? commuted itself in spite ,>f hostility from industrial InterP t? and a rather widespread feeing th. t many of the tariff increases will not be of the slightest value to fa tners. The Tariff Bill as pissed in 1930 will embody the principle, I have no doubt, that the producers of agricultural raw materials of -whatever nature must be as highly protected as other producers, regirdless of whether such rates are

pointed star because it was easier to make. To demonstrate the ease with which such a star could be made, the vivacious little widow folded a piece of paper and produced one by a single snip of her scissors. The sketch was redrawn in pencil by George Washington, and with a few minor alterations, a banner that approximated to the ideas of Benjamin Franklin and others who had made suggestions, was adopted. Mrs. Ross was then entrusted with the work of making the wonderful flag with its thirteen red and white stripes and its circle of thirteen white stars, which was to symbolize that the new nation would also be without end—that it would endure for all time.

in fact effective. The na ional policy as to marketng is quite as definitely fixed, amt much more radical in its expression in the Marketing Act. For the first time, in this or any other country, it is declared that the selling of farm products to tiie best advantage and at the highest practicable prices is a concern of the government, as against tha interns s of the distributing trades anti the consuming public. in particular, the nation adopts .he principle of co-operative selling as the best method for overcoming the m ural disadvantage of the ndividual farmar as a seller. The Marketing Act is based offi and built around co-operative marketing mil will stand or fall by its success or failure. The other aspects of the farm situation in 1929 and of farm prospects for 1930 are completely overshadowed by the cosossal bulk of

he events I have been describing. | The Tariff Bill has still to be passed. The Marketing Act and the operations of the Federal Firm Board came too late in 1929 to have any noticeable effects on farm conditions or the prices of farm products. 1929 Prosperious Year In general, 1929 was a filrly prosperious year. The to al farm income for the nation was well maintained and purchasing power was relatively increased by further lowering of prices of other commodities. No figures of f irm taxes are yet available, but it is likely that the taxation burden on farm land increased only a Ii tie, if at all. The price of farm land, important rather as a barometer than as an actual increase in farm wealth, showed some small recovery. Probably the most significant economic change during the year was the continued motorization of the farms. The displacement of horse power by tractors, engines, motor trucks and automobiles proeeds steadily, and the necessity of finding new products to replace the diminishing market for hay and o ts is the most important problem in farm management now to be solvit A prac icable method for growing • m large acreages a\ source of commercial mo or fuel comparable with gasoline ami kerosene is the greatest technicil need of American Fa. i.ing at this moment. 19.30 opens with agriculture in he mot hopeful frame of mind nee 192!).

Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. . Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound as a substitute for calomel to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years.
