His appeal was issued within a few hours after the corn belt senators, at a meeting presided over by Senator Watson of Indiana, had decided to throw all agricultural legislation overb o a r d . • - " r - : Following is the text af tlba; President's statement: "One of the perplexing questions before the congress is to determine what will be most helpful in relieving agricultural distress. The congress has already rejected certain definite proposals. But that does not relieve us of the desirability of attempting to cure constructive legislation. "Since the war the congress and the administration have devoted painstaking efforts to strengthening the agricultural situation. During the postwar slump a great disparity arose between prices of agricultural contoodi ties and those of industrial cohnnodlf ties which the farmer must buy. This is still true In certain sections aftd certain commodities. "Much legislation has bean enacted and much administrative action has been taken which has already resulted In Improving the farm purchasing power. But all the legislations, helpful though they are, are not sufflcieut to cover all branches of the industry. The farmer has suffered greatly and, no doubt, disproportionately from the effects of deflation. He Is entitled to relief if It can possibly be given on a sound basis by the government. "I know the committees of agriculture and the congress and" the President have all given the most careful thought and spent much time In seeking remedies to afford relief. I want the best method adopted which promises relief along these lines. Certainly, no one can charge that the problem has been neglected. "Constructive action has been repeatedly proposed from various sections of the agricultural community. These proposals provide for the creation of a farm marketing board whose duty is to secure a better adjustment of agricultural production, the larger development and consolidation of farmers' marketing associations under their own control, and embrace the placing of $100,000,000 of public moriey for working capital at the disposal of such farmers' controlled marketing associations, through such farm board, for the purpose of better stabilizing their markets, improving their marketing machinery and the eliminating of waste in distribution. "This form of legislation would support the whole of the agricultural industry-- in the North, the South, the Bast, and the West--both large and. small--not aay particular section or segment. "I am In favor of this type of legislation and I am convinced that Immediate action along such lines will profoundly assist the farmers. I believe that the farmers should be provided with these advantages. It seems to Bie that such a proposal is embodied in the bill offered by Senator Fees on June 16, and which he has proposed to offer as an amendment to the pending co-operative bill which has passed the house and Is now before- the MATTE* field spent Safl&y with friends and relatives in RiaaWjod, JflMas Lcnretta andLUHan Young of MUttjr Bfrettt ate day this week with their tausfo, FV--msii Young.

He knows he is sitting in the wagon with reins in hand and that he is going through all the usual performances of a driver. But he finds no results because the horse--the pulling power--is not attached. This man has a reasonable excuse, for he cannot see. . But Uiere are a great many men with the power of physical sight who are in the hopeless predicament of the blind driver because they fail to see the important things but look for the results that come from them. As an example, we have the merchant' who expects to move without adveitising to pull it alolng. Every successful business establishment will admit that consistsnt advertising furnished the power and momentum on their upward journey and. hat it is still an indispensable agency for them. If true in their case, the small merchant cannot afford to sit on his unhitched wagon and wait for some miracle to move him along, for no matter how good the wrfgon, wjrich corresponds to his stock and store, it cannot travel alone, except down hill.

Heads American Nurserymen Louisville, Ky.--Barl S. May of Shenandoah, Iowa, was elected president of the American Association of Nurserymen here. I once knew a man who had plenty of dough. In fact, he was rich as they make them. Whatever he wanted, wherever he'd go, of costliest things, he<d take 'em. Why, money, to him, was a plaything at best. He virtually threw it away. His purchases always were made from the best, and. he ever was ready to pay. The price of a thing didn't mean much to him, whenever 'twas something he wanted. He'd rush in a store full of vigor and vim an' he'd purchase haphazard, undaunted. A lot of folks envy this type of a man, but I can't say that I do, so much. Because of his riches, he never will know that he's missing one wonderful touch. To have and to hold of the beautiful things is nice, but when all's said and done, it's wishing and wanting-- then getting, that brings a fellow a Whole lot of fun. i Now Natalie was a #tld girl and one of the prettiest in the town.
