' The Agricultural Conference The conference of farmers called by Secre
itarv Wallace at the suggestion of President
Harding will -be one1 of the most important that has assembled in Washington for some time. Agriculture in this county and abroad is badly demoralized and a restoration of its prosperity is of vital importance to the whole world. A realization of the importance of the agricultural industry to the welfare of the whole country seems to have taken possession of the official mind, and 'same remedial plans are expected as a result of the Washington conference. In many quarters it is believed that the con
ference should have been held many months ago. -The delay in calling a conference probably was due to a lack of understanding of the real situation, or to a disposition of mind which' took for : granted that the farmer could extricate himself from a tight position without public co-opera-;tion and help. . , ; It is much better to take a sympathetic view of the agricultural situation than to encourage an apathetic attitude that will result in a complete prostration of that industry, which today, as it always has been in the past, is the very
foundation of our national prosperity and of our individual welfare. If his industry is permitted to languish, the nation is neglecting the underlying source of its wealth.
If the Washington , conference succeeds in giving to the agricultural situation the necessary relief and betterment, the reaction upon the whole business of the country will be immediate and salutary. Every farsighted business
man is glad that President Harding called the
conference and hopes that the causes for th stagnation of the farming industry will be dis
cussed and remedies found that will restore it to
a flourishing condition. -
Secretary Wallace believes that this year will
be a better one for the farmers. The paralyzing effect of the sudden drop in prices, he believes,
is wearing off and farmers are looking to the
future hopefully.
"Congress has indicated a willingness to
enact such legislation as promises to be helpful," he said a few days ago. "Farmers are coming to see more clearly that the task of putting farming on a sound basis is really up to them and that through organization
they can reduce marketing costs. In this they will have increasing help from the department of agriculture and the various state agricultural colleges which now understand they must give the farmer the same sort of help in marketing that they have given him in production. "Everything considered, therefore, we can enter the new year in a spirit of hopefulness and good cheer. I see nothing which indicates boom times for the farmer in the near future, but there does seem to be promise of better times both for the farmer and those whose business is largely dependent upon him."

starting ALL OVER AGAIN Much of life is a series of set-backs. The boy works. The youngman works. The grown man works. Then there comes a day when his harvest fields bear in abundance. He builds a fine home. Hardly does he open its halls before fire destroys it to the ground! What does he do? Give up?. Oh, no! His Is not that kind of a make-up. The very next morning he RE-builds as Edison did a few years ago, before the ashes were yet cold. History is full of instances where Fame didn't even smile until the white sheets of Winter had well arrived. , Starting all over again Is no disgrace," no matter how old you are or how miserable your failure may look to you. The only disgrace Is not to start all over! When it comes right down to facts, we are all perpetual "startovers." Each day finds us with the memory of lost hopes and unachieved aims like broken vases scattered at our feet. But we must walk beyond them. , Try to feed upon fresh resolves until they nourish your soul into a being that is not afraid. Yes, start all over again today! Map out new plans. You will find a thrill in that process alone. It is much better to have lost yesterday and won today, than to have won yesterday and lost today.

The special senate committee that had been appointed to investigate conditions in Haiti recently completed its labors and announced that it would
recommend to congress that American marines continue their occupation of the island. Commenting on the committee's decision in the matter, Senator McCormick, chairman of that body, declared: "It should be
borne in mind that the vast mass of the Haitian people, kindly, gentle and a state of almost
primitive poverty and ignorance. For generations there had been no roads in Haiti prior to the arrival of the Americans in 1913. There are few trails and few towns. There was al
most no education.. Perhaps 98 percent of the people cannot read or
write. "All had been a prey to the revolu
tionary movements which swept the country with increasing frequency until the massacre of the political prisoners in the jail at Port-au-Prince in July, 1915, was followed by the murder of President Sam in the French legation by the mob which dragged his
dismembered trunk through the
streets of Port-au-Prince while his head and limbs were carried aloft on the bayonets of the rioting soldiers. "Under these circumstances it is not surprising that, naturally rich though . Haiti is in agricultural resources, exports and revenues have fallen far below those of Torto Rico or Cuba, where with similar soil and like climate under orderly government the industry of the people has produced a great export trade. "For example, in area, Haiti, which is three times as large as Porto Rico
After Dinner Stories
Ireland is the country where shopkeepers are sometimes such amateurs of business that the main thing to be
achieved is not selling merchandise, but the pleasant social Intercourse with neighbors which running a shop involves. "I see 'where you have a fine fish shop opened in Eallynascran," says one of the characters in a Somerville and Ross story. "We did have," the friend replies, "but it's closed this month past."
"I wonder why was that now? "Well, the man that run the fish
shop complained that morning, noon
and night people was bothering him for fish, fish nothing but fish."

Rippling Rhymes By Wait Mason
THE COUGHER I go to church to hear the pastor explain, with pious stress, how we must
walk, to dodge disaster, the paths of righteousness. His earnest arguments remind mo of things I ought to do; and then some pilgrim just behind me begins to cough a few. He coughs in Dutch and Greek and German, he coughs in Cherokee; his coughing spoils a high class sermon, and simply maddens me. The pastor, in the manner priestly, attempts to look resigned; but he'd fain give that cougher beastly
three good swift kicks behind. I go to hear a high class singer, who has a world wide fame; I say, "This treat will be a dinger, and I am glad I came;
and when she s finished I shall proffer such tribute as I can;" but just behind
me sits the cougher, the noisy ker-

new ruble notes threatened to strike.
They were propitiated by an offer on
the part of the soviet government
that, when they had worked an al
lotted number of hours at making ruble notes for the government, they might work as much longer as they
liked at printing off ruble notes for
themselves."

Time to Face the Facts "So much has been said against the use of patent medicines that I have had a strong prejudice against them. But aftir four years doctoring with six different doctors, without results, for acute indigestion, gastritis, constipation, appendicitis and other ailments, I was said to possess, I was encouraged to try Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, seeing what it had done for a friend similarly afflicted. I also was entirely relieved of my trouble, and am sure this medicine will do all and more than is claimed for it." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.
