PACEMAKER Secretary of Agriculture Shows Need for Understanding ‘Washington, April 27.~The urgent need for a better understanding be- tween the Important groups of citl- sens engaged in agriculture, in indus- try, and in general business is force- fully pointed out by Henry C, Wallace, Becretary of Agriculture in a state. complex he declares, ‘‘the relation- ship hetween riculture, industry and general b ess becomes more and morq Intimate. What hurts the one will certainly hurt the others. In general, what helps one wlill help the others, They must work together for the common good. “There has always been a tacit recignition of our national depend- ence upon agriculture. We have given an intellectual assent to such state, ments as, ‘The farmer is the backbone of the nation,’ ‘A prosperous nation depends Gpon a prosperous agricul- ture,’ ‘Agriculture is the basis of na- tienal life,’ and so on. The truth of such statements has never been driven home to us so effectively as during the last two years, Drop in Prices The ‘drop in prices which began earlyy in 1920 is familiar history. Farmers were the first to suffer and suffered most. Taking prices of 1913 as representing 100 the prices of farm products in May, 1920, stood at 238, During that month they Began to fall, and before the decline could be ar- rested they had dropped below the 1918 level, standing at 94 in Decem- ber, 1921, Then we had a terribly vivid illustration of our dependence upon agriculture and the intimate re- lationship between agricultural pros- perity and business prosperity., Many farmers could not pay current ex- penses. The ratio between prices of things the farmers produced and sold and prices of thethings they bought was so distorted that they were forced to practice the most rigid economy depend directly upon farm buying were plunged almost immediately into profound depression, Thousands of manufacturing plants had o similar experience, The rallroads suffered through reduction in freight on things farmers buy. Business of every sort shared the disaster, Hundreds of banks falled. Thousands of banks tottered along the edge of bankruptey, Perhaps three milllon men weer thrown out of work, The financlal de- pression was wide-spread, Turn Reached in 1921 ‘“The turn was reached in the win- ter of 1921-22, since which time there has been a gradual Increase in the prices of farm products. Gradually farmers have been able to pay some of their debts and resume their buy- ing. As a result thero has been a steady improvement in business, until now thers Is general optimism, - The ratio betweep prices of farm products |and prices 6f other commodities is still abnormal. Untll this ratio be- comes more nearly normal the full measure of prosperity will not be re- stored, ‘““While the expeurience of the last three years has brought sharply to our attention the intimate relation- ship between business and agriculture, the existence of such intimate rela- tionship is no new thing. A compari- son of the farmer's purchasing power with business failures during the last third of a century tells the story In a graphic way. During the 10 years 1890 to 1900 the purchasing power of the farmer was below the 30 year average; the percéntage of buisness | failures was considerably above. From 1900 to 1920 there was a gradual in- crease in the farmer's. purchasing power. From 1901 to 190§ this pur- chasing power was almost the average of the 30 year peried, while from 1908 to 1920 it was considerably above. The percentage of business failures dropped bhelow the 30 year average from 1899 to 1920 with the exception of two short periods, one in 1908 and the other in 1915 and 1015, “We have about 6,500,000 farms. More than one-fourth of all our peo- ple who are engaged in gainful occu- ital invested in farming is about 70 billion dollars. The money invested in farm buildings, machinery and live stock, not including the value of the farm land, would buy all the railroads PARIS GARTERS No metal can touch you Take a friendly tip—satisfy that im- pulse —get your pair Y. for wideweave Pariswhen you buy. 50c and up 3000 Hours of Solid Comfort” ASTEIN& CHICAGO « COMPANY NEW YORK “That ad started me smoking the best cigarette ever made!”’ Li1GGETT & MYERS ToBAcco Co. pations work on the farms.

A pros- perous agriculture means a prosper- ous nation. Tt is to the advantge of the business man that the farmer be fair- ly prosperous.

Warsaw, April 27.—During the Russian regime a Russian cathedral was erected in’ Warsaw, Richly deco- rated with paintings and wonderful ras an object of admira- tion of all foreigners who visited the city. To the Poles, however, it was but another symbol of Russian op- pression. When, in 1915, drew from Warsaw, the first impulse of the populace was to Jestroy this cathedral, but other counsel prevailed. The Germans in their occupation of Warsaw stripped it of its bronze roofs, which they replaced with wooden ones. But these roofs afforded poor protection against the weather, and it was soon found necessary to close the cathedral. Owing to its present dilapidated condition and the reluctance of the Poles to spend money on the restora- tion of a monument which has al- ways been hateful to them, it has been decided that it shall be pulled down. demolition of the cathedral, howaver, other more pressing works will bhe taken in hand, so that the delay still gives a little hope to those who are against its destruetion. mosaic the Russians with-| Before starting on the actual} ALASKAN RAILROAD T0 BRING RETURNY Will Mean Much to the People in That Section of Country Washington, April 27.~With the addition of a few last touches on a |large steel bridge over the Tanana {river at Nenana, Alaska, the govern- ment will practically complete the second largest construction job it has ever undertaken.
