WALLACE ASTONISHED AT EAST'S CRITICISM TO FARMERS' RELIEF
FALL 4111 I'M XES Bl'KEAV WASHINGTON'. Jan. 19. Speaking In behalf of the agricultural Interests of the country Henry C. Wallace, secretary of agriculture has expressed his astonishment that in the industrial states of the east the charge of "class legislation" should be raised against recent efforts at relief for the farmers by congressional auction. Recent agricultural legislation has
been directed along three general lines j
first. Improved credit facilities; second, permissive enactments which will encourage the farmer himself to improve methods of marketing farm crops; third, assurance of free, open and competitive markets for crops and livestock through the exercise of reasonable government supervision over
market agencies. "That anyone should be disposed to regard Buch legislation as of the nature of class legislation Is surprising," said Secretary Wallace. "It is not in any sense class legislation. Its primary purpose is to maintain agricultural production that the people may be fed. "To do this, It is imperative that the farmer be helped to tide over this period of financial stress without being compelled to sacrifice his land, his livestock or his farming equipment. "That is even more important to the consuming public than to the far-n-iAW knth Vn-l " lion r f 4VlA nafkrl tlf fffA
at reasonable Drices and because the B
farmer must be restored if we are to have a prosperous, industrial life and find work again for the millions of un
employed. Surely the logic of such '
reasoning should not be questioned in industrial states The fact that 40 per cent of our people live in the open country and not only furnish the food for the nation but constitute the largest home market for our manufacturers should ever be kept in mind. Forty per cent of the whole is somewhat more than a 'group.' " Warns Industrial East. Secretary Wallace also warns the industrial east that it may feel the need of a sympathetic and thoroughly efficient agriculture sooner than is realized. The billions of dollars which this country has loaned to Europe must be paid not in gold but in goods which compete with our own manufacturer? and which are . produced at a cos', far below the American cost standard, the secretary of agriculture said. "To meet such competition," he aid, "our own people must have the cheapest possible food. The rarmer's place in industrial enterprise thus becomes increasingly important." Mr. Wallace also emphasizes the fact that the rapidity of the industrial growth in this country points to the approaching need of a materially increasing form production. He sees two ways in which enlarged production may be brought about. He points to the fact that there are still acres of land which may be brought under tha r.iniv Tmt easily or cheaply, but as
need may require and prices justify, and, he says, larger yields may be had from the lands already under cul tivation by the practice of more intensive methods. Must Reduce Costs. '"In either case," the secretary warns, "the consumer can not hope to buy food as cheaply in the future as in the past, unless there be large reductions in the cost of producing that food, and when I say costs of production, I mean also costs of market in" for production and marketing aro inseparable. In its ownj interests, therefore, and for its own benefit, the consuming public must aid in making available to the farmer every facility nd business device which may help v,;,-i -roiHiincr production costs.
F T Meredith, former secretary cf agriculture, recently called attention to the fact that business failures rcrease on an average of 55 per cem during periods when farmers sutler trom partial crop failure or periods of "undulv low prices" for their products.

In relating a story of opposition in the east to the purposes and actions of the farm block in congress, the New York Times recently said: "The growing power of the agricultural bloc in congress is causing alarm to financial and business interests of the East and already a tentative movement has been started for action at
the polls to prevent domination of legislation by this group." One firm of . bankers and brokers voiced their sentiments, as quoted by the Times, as follows: "In the present state of this country there is no doubt as to the economic results which would arise from the enactment of the bloc's portentious program. The situ
ation has thus become acute. It is inconceivable that Eastern business and banking interests will endure for long the meddlesome, experimental discriminations of politics dominated by the middle West. Rather will relief be sought at the polls, where, during 1922, one-third of the membership of the senate and the entire membership of the house are to be elected." TITe bankers in question continue their argument by citing what had then
been accomplished, and what legislation the bloc was responsible for up to that time. It cited the farm loan bill, stated that the bloc "advocates the creation of a rural credit situation to permit loans on commodities in the same manner in which the government arranges loans on farm land." Where the Danger Lies After stating that: "The farmer bloc is seen as the dominant power in congress," the banker proceeds to relate
that the bloc "demands that a farmer
shall be placed upon the federal re
serve board." Then, further: ' "Such
are the instances of legislation to bene
fit one class of the population, but the danger lies in the fact that, in its profound ignorance of common economic principles, the bloc may shape legisla-
ousting Mr,
tion which will inflict injury upon all a board of six instead of five, as now
classes. However much the averaee westerner may disagree with this eastern

There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in
