The thoughtful farmer, having done all his chores and being prepared to enjoy an evening of leisure in ihe bosom of his family, will do well to put on his slippers, draw up a comfortable chair to the sitting-room table, vnfold his paper and turn to the president's message. This message is now beir.g read around the world, in the languages of all peoples having newspapers and telegraphic and wireless facilities. The eyes of the world are turned toward Washington. The ears of the world are straining to catch the notes of amity and goodwill which are going out from the great conference there assembled. And further. President Harding's message lo congress interests the thinkers in every nation, insofar as it deals with world problems and our relations with other nations, in these momentou days.

American Agriculture As was anticipated the president devotes a liberal portion of his message to agricultural problems and the net ds of those who are closest to the soil. He begins by stating that.. "Something more than tariff protection is require, by American agriculture. To the farm has come the earl ier and the heavier burdens of read-j just men t. There is ac'ual depression in our agricultural industry, while ae- ! rlcultural prosperity is absolutely es- ! seiitja! to the general prosperity of the country. j "Congress: has sought very enrnestly 10 provide relief. It has promptly giv en such temporary relief as has been possible, but the call is insistent for the permanent solution. It is inevitable that large crops lower the prices and short crops advance them. No legislation can cure that fundamental law. But there must be some ecoI nomic solution tor the excessive variation in returns for agricultural pn( ! duction.' Faulty Distribution. "It is rather shocking to be told, and to have the statement strongly sup. ported, that 9.0OO.O00 bales of cotton raised on American plantations in a given year, will actually be worth more to the producers than 13,0t0.00n bales would have been. Equally shocking is the statement that 700,000,000 ! bushels of wheat, raised by the Ameri1 can farmers, would bring them more j money than l.oOO.ooO.OOO bushels. Yet these'are not exaggerated statements. jn a world where there are tens 01' imiiions who need food and clothing. which they cannot get. such a condi'ion is sure to indict the social sys tern which makes it possible." A Few More High Lignts. In the president's view: "in the main the remedy lies in distribution and marketing. Every proper encouragement should be given to the co-operative marketing programs." "There is the appeal for this experiment. Why not try it." "The base of the pyramid of civilization, which rests upon the soil, is shrinking through the drift of population from farm to city. For a generation we have been expressing more or less concern about this tendency." But read the entire message; it should be time well spent. Bureau Tax Recommendations The publicity depart mint of the American Farm Bureau is mailing out an interesting letter which covers the rationally important resolutions adopted at the Atlanta convention. These touch unon the effectiveness of the de partment of agriculture: our system of taxation: the need for a permanent tariff; the financing of farmers; truth-in-fabric legislation; public roads and commissions; transportations, etc. As to our national tax policy, the farmers take the stand that: 1. "The measure of ability to pay taxes for the support of the national government is net income, and the bulk of the taxes should bo levied and collected on that basis. 2. "The tax rate should be progressive; that is, the greater the income the higher the rate. There are five of these resolutions, the last of which requests that "congress submit a constitutional amendment to the several states looking to the prevention of the issuing of tax free securities, to euro this defect In cur taxing system." Financial Credits With relation to farm credits and cooperative marketing the resolutions adopted are concise and explicit, as befits the occasion. The single paragraph in relation to co-operative marketing, follows: "We insist, upon the early enactment, of laws clearly defining the right of to w hat the farm bu-! the financial help larmers are asking, the resolutionssay: (A Proper credit for farmers on 12 and 24 months' paper, instead of the short term credit now available. (Bl The proper authorization for commodity financing, based upon warehouse receipts. (C) Live stock financing, based upon a proper pledge. (D) Personal rural credits, secured by proper insurance features, and the creating of machinery that will allow cooperative societies to get money direct. (E That the Federal Reserve board direct its policies so that primary pr-

I duction may be given the considera ! tion -which it merits, j Tho farm bureau has taken a do I cided stand with reference to the man ufacture and sale of "filled milk,' j which in our opinion, the public, once I understanding it, is likely to endorse. This brief and pithy resolution reads. I "In order to prevent filled milk or modified milk products from destro- ; ing the American dairy industry and j injuring the health of the consuming I public, we insist that The manufac ture ana sale of filled dairy product be forbidden by law." Cocoanut. oil, as the mash and di... j filiation made from copra, otherwise j dried cocoanut meats, does not con ; tain the vitaraines found in whole milk ; or cream, have a different chemical constitution, in fact, and do not servg S the food requirements that milk su'v j plies. This is why the farm bureau I claims that filled milk is injurious to health and a fraud upon consumers j who are unaware of the real contents : of the cans so labeled. CITY IS BOMBARDED BY MUSIC BOOSTERS Several committees made up of students in the high school canvassed the city Thursday morning to increase the sales of the season tickets to the Richmond Symphony orchestra concerts which will be held this year. The students covered both sides of the streets in the residential section, and with pictures of the orchestra with "On to Nashville" in big letters at the top. they bombarded the city with publicity of the fact that the orchestra was endeavoring to make the trip to Nashville. Tickets for the concerts are selling at ?3.5o each, and of this sum $l.no goes toward the expenses of the orchestra on this trip. The management in charge is endeavoring to sell 500 season tickets and gain $500 to go toward the total expenses of the trip. NOMINATIONS (Continu&d from Page One.) twenty-four 1.400,000 letters are mailed, or more than 12,000,000.000 letters per year. Incidentally, ihis is tinbusiest season of the year for the postoffice department. Unless the general public heeds the department's urgent plea of "do your Christmas mailing early" a demoralization of the service will result. To carry the mail for one year 14.000.000,000 postage stamps " are re quired .and 1,123,000.000 postal cards are. sold annually. The money order service sells each year more than 150.000.000 money orders in an aggregate sum exceeding $1,500,000,000. Parcel Post Work. The parcel post division is the larg est express company in the world and, as usual, it is now carrying the brunt of the Christmas mailing rush. It carries over 2.500,000.000 packages each year. The postal savings system is the largest banking institution of Its kind in the world. It has over 500.000 depositors. The dead letter office handles 10,000, 0o0 undelivered letters each year, practically all due to carelessness in addressing them. Every day 43.000 rural mail carriers start on their journeys, serving 6.500,00O families and traveling 1,170,000 miles before they return to their offices. In handling mail the department consumes Soo.Ooo miles of twineannually, enough to girdle the earth 30 times: 1.200,000 lead pencils and 23,000 quarts of mucilage. TO BUILD WOMAN'S DORM. DAYTON. O..
