Nor was it a neglected orchard in a non yi region.

Where are grapes going to when the NeW acreage comes in? =) Whether it be sheep, or hogs, or cotton, or wheat, or corn, or fruit, or f or oranges, or potatoes, the story oP is the same; thru a period of years the farmer, whether Site be a general farmer or a specialist, goes broke in a Majority of cases. Only the increase in farm land values Sand the selling at a cent an hour of the farm family’s » has kept American agriculture alive these 20 years. _ Remedy? We have no panacea, we are pointing out facts. But city consumers must realize what agriculture is up Ast, or there is no salvation for American agriculture; R FOR US! “Pray for the mayor.

UWiekedness is a wonderfully diigent architect of misery, of shame, with terror, and commotion, and remorse, and endless per- .—Plutarch. Mating Colleges and Youths Locomotive Engineers’ Journal, publication of one of big labor organizations, has undertaken a great but sult work that is of interest to everybody in trying make the youth fit the college and the college fit the -To David Starr Jordan's “Tt is a shame to waste a 000 education on a 50-cent boy,” the Journal replies, Tt is even more shameful to waste a thousand dollar boy a 50-cent college,” and there is a whole lot in this Ve ‘Most of the so-called “greatest” colleges, those with ds of attendants, pour education down the stu- necks by the funnel process. Some colleges em- size technology and practical science, and others mere ture. Some develop sturdy, wholesome manhood, and ‘Others flabbiness and mere book-learning. Some provide eholarships and opportunities for outside- employment ) ‘shat reduce the cost of education, while oth2rs have be- | €ome little more than fashionable clubs for the progeny of the rich. The Journal proposes to discover and divulge the par- cular characteristics of the colleges, so that, for instance, if a man has a son clearly destined to become a black- mith, he will have a chance of steering him away from ilure as a professor of Greek. ' Folks who have made a study of college graduates must ve discovered that, in a large percentage of cases, the imen attended a particular college simply because | was “great,” without’ regard for being fitted for any eer fer which nature, disposition and environment in- mded him, or her. The Journal’s task is a most diffi- it one, but, really, isn’t it worth while? Isn't there great waste of mankind in trying to put square pegs A round holes, in respect of education? _ The farms vf this country are mortgaged for $7,800,000,000. It means American farmers are working to pay over $490,000,000 interest, lly. The figures spell D-A eR, Mrs. Klimek, that Chicago “Bluebeardess,” gots only a life sentence for ing four husbands. But, maybe, they were a poor sort as hus Ana now, every time Babe Ruth falls to make a nome run hit, some ‘will yell, “Why didn’t you marry the girl?” . Supply of Houses Gaining The bottom will fall out of rents when there is a hous- ing surplus—more homes for rent than tenants to fill em. Things are moving in that direction at last. In he 149. leading cities building permits taken out during February totaled nearly 217 million dollars compared with 28 million dollars in February, 1922, , While a lot of this money is going into office buildings id other large projects, home building also is taking a ig spurt. Every new house that is built weakens the foundation on which stands the landlord who profiteers. | In this housing pinch, the landlord contented with a rea- sonable return on his investment is a high-grade citizen.

Sperry takes aboard a fresh supply of fuel, without stopping, while flying 65 miles an hour. It reminds you of the express train picking up mail bags as it roars thru small towns.
