AS al c £ The General Agricultural Situation \OOD CROPS at fair, prices make the United States prosperous. Nearly one-half the people of tha country are directly dependent upon agricul- ture and a much larger proportion are indirectly dependent upon it for a livelihood. The ability of this country to produce food and other agricul- tural raw materials has made possible its rapid in- dustrial development and is the basis of its foreign trade. It is now mid-season and although adverse weath- er might result in marked downward revisions of crop estimates, it can be safely assumed that the crop year 19 will be reasonably satisfactory. Even if harvest results should fall below the yield which has been forecast there is no doubt that the United States has a good wheat crop. The corn crop is by no means made. The July estimate is for a crop somewhat less than last year but slightly in excess of the average crop during the five years 1916- 20. There is a large carry-over, however, and a eld equivalent to the five-year average would mean satisfactory conditions in the corn belt. With the exception of oats the outlook for other grains nod and large crops of potatoes and tobacco are A cotton crop considerably larger than ast year is now indicated but uncertainty as to de- terioration which may be caused by the boll-weevil makes the final yield uncertain. The American farmer is assured of a market. The domestic market is the greatest consuming market of the world, the population of this country being equal to the combined population of the United ngdom and the German Republic. The methods of handling, shipping, financing and marketing the crops of the United States for export trade are mexcelled, and the only important competitor of country from the standpoint of freight haul to rope is the Dominion of Canada. The export: able surplus of the American crops of 1922 will be promptly absorbed by the international market. The last two years have been discouraging to farmers, but they are increasingly becoming aware of their advantageous competitive position and ore recovering their old confidence. Prices of leading farm products are now much above the prewar level. There is no reason to expect a return of the price levels of the boom years but there is likewise no reason which might justify a fear that the un- profitable prices of the adjustment period of 1920- 21 will return. Farmers are reducing their indebted- ness. They are expanding their purchases of agri- cultural implements, fertilizers and{ other farm necessaries, and the time is not far ahead when they will be in a position to increase their pur- chases of other classes of goods. Business in the agricultural districts shows confidence and that confidence is justifiable basis for faith in the entire business situation of the country. Battling Booze OMMISSIONER HAYNES of the federal pro hibition enforcement departmént informally re- viewing the past year’s effort to dry up the wet places throughout the country gives some rather in- teresting data concerning the activities of his de- partment. He invites attention to the fact that less than 3,000,000 gallons of whiskey were with- mpared with 9,696,122 gallons the prey- ious year, and less than 17,000,000 gallons of al- cohol antl other distilled spirits withdrawn as com- ared with 24,856.388 gallons the previous yea: the withdrawals during the month of May ) less than in May, 1921 is is ses were reparted by general pro. hibition agents, and fines amounting to $2,159,410 ars of history makes it very; ! : | Were imposed by federal courts. Three and one- half miluon doliars worth of bonds were placed m suit, or proceedings begun. Keductions im rentals and disposition or seized property in the amount of $208,582 were effected and un additional saving |.of $156,900 otherwise etiected. Under the narcotic (laws over 2,200 violations were exposed, resulting in fully 75 per cent convictions and approxicately $70,000 in fines. Sentences in both promibition and narcotic cases were uniformly much more severe. Important changes took place. A year ago the plan was adopted to have general prohibition agents work directly under the central office. At that time the force was less than twenty-five men. E. C. Yellowley, a veteran of the internal revenuo bureau, took charge, selecting experienced men anu by late fall had thirty employed in the force. They rendered such excellent service that it was deemed advisable to continue increasing it from time to | time, as conditions warranted. April 1, the country was divided into eighteen | divisions, and an officer known as divisional chiez was placed in charge of each division, with suitable quarters and equipment, stenographic and clerical assistance necessary to carry on the work. At the present time the force comprises three | hundred and reports coming,from the field show | | that the establishment of the divisions has been | justified in every respect. The office of the chief, general prohibition agents, in the beginning consisted of one.clerk. At the present time twenty-six clerks are necessary. cial investigations of permit holders have been made, also certain other special investigations rel- ative to the conditions in the various parts of the country, which were covered by special reports not included in the list of reports covering violations. The work of the general agents force cannot be entirely gauged by the number of reports rendered covering violations, since there are investigations covering no violations. A special legal group now prepares all criminal information, indictments, injunctions, libels and search warrants, ‘ | Director and divisional chiefs report promtly to the central office all cases made by agents work- | ing under their supervision which in turn are seni to the department of justice for supervision and preparation for speedy trial Applications to operate as wholesale druggists are now doubly checked and reports of state in- spectors are verified by reinspection. Forgery-proof, non-transferable permit forms ef- | fectually prevent fraudulent withdrawals. Legislation has given the commissioner authority to concentrate into a smaller number of warehouses ail distilled spirits, effecting a large saving money and mitigating losses from sources other In addition to these cases, a large number of spe- | Manufacturers and wholesale dealers are requir- | ed to give a monthly accountability of all drugs re-| ceived and sold. | int in| = | | Mf UYU) | than withdrawal under permit. | Submarine chasers and speedy motor boats have} n added to the equipment a |profits.

If the women and the retailers would stop for a moment to consider the situation they could not escape the conclusion that the campaign for the} importing interests are inherently deceptive. These interests are openly spending hundreds of thous- ands of dollars to defeat the enactment of the pro-} throughout the country addressing merchants’ asso- ciations, conventions, chambers of commerce, etc., in opposition to the proposed tariff. They are send- ing out tons of literature to the local retail inter- ests and to membership of clubs, etc., against the proposed tariff. They are sending out letters under first class postage to hundreds of thousands of people protesting against the enactment of the pro- posed tariff. Even the nterest amateur knows that this sort of a campaign is costing tremendous sums of money. Those back of it claim-they are animated only by the unselfish desire to save the woman consumer money, by the high purpose of preventing-her be- ing robbed by the American manufacturer. That the importing interests of this country should ex- pend such enormous sums for the wholly disinter- ested and altruistic purpose of saving money to the American woman and the American retailer is too silly a proposition to be considered seriously by anyone giving it a second thought. The conclusion is logical and unescapable that importing interests avhich are spending these enor- mous sums of money to defeat a protective tariff must be profiting many times those sums of money by the free trade law which we now have. They are financing the tremendous campaign against the pending tariff bill not out of a desire to save the American woman any money but out of a desire to continue conditions that enable them to rob the American consumers by buying cheaply made goods abroad:and selling them in this country at profits amounting from 200 to several thousand per cent. The retailer outside of the metropolitan cities has cause for grave alarm at this campaign. The iurge importing interests, who also conduct a mail order business, are buying abroad in ship load lots. The ultimate destination of a great percentage of \these goods is the trade territory of the local mer- chant in the average American city and the smaller towns. There is not the least doubt but that the local trade territory of the home merchant will soon be flooded with these cheap goods purchased abroad, flooded by the large department stores and importing interests that are now trying to enlist the support of the home merchant to defeat the pending protective tariff. The successful culmination of this program of the importing interests and large department stores which have a mail order business means not only the invasion of the trade territory of the home mer- | chant, which in itself would be disastrous, but it |means the throwing out of employment of Amer- ican working people, who cannot produce articles in competition with the articles bought abroad. This will deprive the local merchants of the patronage of the working people who will be without a job and therefore without the means wherewith to buy. There never has: been a policy before the coun- try that was more deserving of the support of the local home merchant and the American consumer, not only. from the standpoint of patriotism, but from the coldblooded standpoint of dollars and cents and self-preservation than the policy of a pre- Che Casper Daily Cridune LOSING PATIENCE: on aeroplane serv-' protective tariff because it interfered with ‘their aligned n industry because they could make But the importing interests never have themselves blues; A stream that knows the dawn’s fan- tastic scenes, The moon-time’s gold, the sunset's flaming hues; lure me from my way with whispered songs, Asking no vow; obeisance at a shrine; And so I leave the roadway's dusty They i throngs ‘posed tariff.

Government Operation The Edmonton, Alberta, Bulletin thus wails over troubles that have a strangely famillar sound to us on this side: “Our ‘nationalization’ friends are busy now explaining that the late dominion government went into the ocean shipping business at the worst possible time; construction costs were outrageously High, freight rates were just naturally bound to slump, etc. The taxpayers, it seems, should be hilariously thankful that they have lost only fifty millions or so in this branch of socialistic experimentation up to date. “Thac is not saying very much for the judgment of the late dominion government—which the natioralizers used to Jaud and magnify for discov- ering the bright {dea that the way to make the country prosperous was to load the taxpayers with the capital cost and operating responsibilities of transportation on land and sea. And at that the explanation falls to ex- plain how it fs that the Canadian Pa- cific railroad “keeps on adding new ships and bigger ships and more cost- ly ships to its fleets on both the At- lantio and the Pacific. “So far as any one has yet found out, the Canadian Pacific railroad {s not running steamships or.anything else with the object of losing money, and that qorporation maintains an accounting department that can be trusted to know! whether ‘ts vessels gre earning dividends or burning up the profits from its railway system. ‘The fact of course is that a business enterprise in a business way, an@ has to or go ‘broke,’ while a government can't and doesn't have to while the taxpayers have anything left.” Mosquitoes What is tt in the early dawn When morning ope's in peaceful calm That dance in legions oe'r the lawn?

Hay of Rock Springs who is 2 candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, is advocat- ing the reduction of taxation and ex- penditures. He believes that a half million dollars, in round numbers, can be stricken from the exepnse account of the state without impairing effi- clency. In this belief Mr. Hay is joined by many of the substantial men of the state. Mr. Hay is an ex- pert in the line of big business affairs and without question can accomplish this reduction, What may seem al- most impossible to the average man, an expert ean perform with the ut- most ease. It all depends upon train- ing, experience and inclination. Mr. Hay is a big man with every qualifi- cation to give the state of Wyomng a wonderful business administration. He is not given to idle talk in busi. ness affairs and no one doubts his ability to satisfactorily accomplish the necessary reduction. Several years ago Frank O. Low- den became governor of the state of Minois and by his Business ability saved the taxpayers of that state mil- lions of dollars and reduced their tax rates very materially. The nomina- tion and election of Hon. John W. Hay to the governorship of Wyoming would be of as great benefit to this state as Governor Lowden was to Il- linols.—Rock Springs Miner. 7 Ss gg ee Three Inches More “Fashion, prodded by the suit mak- ers, has decided that in the autumn woman shall wear skirts three inches longer than those deqgeed for spring and early suramer days, notes the New York Herald. “Already gar- ments with hems only a iittle above shoe tops are to be observed in the streets. The high tide of revelation of feminine underpinning has been passed, for the time being at least. “How will the censoré of feminine conduct who have been so deeply dis- turbed by the ,recent fashions meet the new situation? Perhaps their memories are as short as skirts have been. If this is not so they are in for an embarrassing time. The girls with skirts at shoe tops are going to be the same girls who wore them high the other day. Whatever damage short skirts could do has been done. The moral, intellectual, social injury abbreviated costumes are able to in- flict has been inflicted. If the cen- sorious meant all they said in de- nunciation of shart skirts and the wearers of short skirts they must look forward into @ future full of glgom. “Meanwhile, the fact is that the criticized styles have not harmed any- body. Woman has not been adverse- ly affected in thought, or deed by their peculiarities. She has remained as she was when the trains of a few years ago were taken from her bur- den. Longer skirts will not improve her; how could they when woman is perfection?” Human Interest News _ In New York, where anything may and many things do, happen, a wom- an wes shot five times by her hus- band because he caught her going with other men. Most people shot even once will complain about it, but Margaret Maher not only re: waged anything like the fight against a protective tariff that they are waging against the one now pending, because never before have the margins of profit in handling imported goods been so enor- mous as they are now. \ “It's raining!’ ez’ laimed “What shall we do?” Ted looked solemnly out of their tent up into the gray dripping sky, held his hand out and let some rain fall on it and examined the drops carefully. “Yes,” he muttered to him self, “we'll have to.” “Have to what? puzzled Ned. “We'll haye to do the way they do in Spain,” and Ted looked quite wor- ried.

It was Ned's turn to wash up the camp dishes. He carefully wet them out in the rath and went back in the tent to mend his split bamboo ‘rod. Meanwhile Ted began to make two Uttle toy sailboats.
