This is the cycle figured out: "Rags make money: money maks banks; hanks make loans; loans i make poverty and poverty makes rags." Back just where we started. :o: Eleven of the largest chain-store and mail order organizations in 1923 did a combined business of about S00 million dollars. And about half of this was on the books of the two biggest mail order companies. The individual retail merchant steadily finds himself confronted with more and more competition from national organizations. Hip greatest raeac; Heres the Louisville Courier-Journal printing an editorial attacking the character of Daniel Webster.

Of course "Old Winter" gets in his work, even if he has to linger in the lap of spring. -:o: The east and the west are two dis tinct locations. Almost as distinct as England and America. Republicans have an opportunity to choose a west ern man who knows how the land lays east, west, north and south, but his name is not Coolidge, who knows something about the east, but the west nit! :o: A Quaker relief worker in Berlin writes: "A loaf of bread now costs; 150 billion marks, and a day laborer gets 200 million marks for three days' work." Wages tend to lag be hind rising prices, always and every where. You reflect also, as you ponr dtr the Berlin bread price, that the German people are pajing the pen- of defense is newspaper advertising, alty of waging war. Senator Owen in presenting the recently disclosed secret documents from Russia and England on the or igin of the world war said that he j supported the Entente Allies from the beginning to the end of the war and he fully justified the United Stales in entering the war against the German military dynasty and re joiced in the overthrow of f the mili tary monarchies of Europe. But nevertheless he felt it his duty to the senate to disclose these matters for the information of the American people so that they would be in a po sition to more completely understand the way in which the secret Euro pean diplomacy has been conducted. The substance of it was that the records show that the foreign affairs of France were legally in the hands of one man the president of France. He could lawfully make secret treaties without the knowledge ot the French people, the French par liament, and without their consent. That the president of France en tered into a secret treaty with Rus sia in 1S92 by which it was agreed that in the event of the mobilization of any member of the Triple Alliance Germany, Austria and Italy Rus sia and France would immediately mobilize all their forces and without delay attack Germany simultaneous ly east and west. That unuer this treaty the French general staff held annual conferences and worked out details of this con templated contingent assault on Ger many. That when the war begun France and Russia entered into a secret un derstanding to appropriate certain German and Austrian territory and allocate it to Russia. France and their allies. That the military conferences con templated the English army taking its place by the side of the French troops. That Sir Edward Grey entered in to a secret agreement in 1906, re duced to writing in 1912, on behalf of Great Britain and France declar ing on its face it was not binding but when occasion arose it could in stantly be made binding. That Roumania was attached to the Russian-French interests by concessions. Th?t the attachment of Italy to Austria and Germany was weakened by concessions in Africa. That Russia had a determined pol icy to control the Dardanelles and to establish its prestige in the Balkans and recognize as a policy that its ambitions could not be carried out except by a general war. That the president of the French republic fully committed himself to support the Russian policy in the Balkans by energetic diplomacy and to support Russia with arms in the event of a general war growing out of it, and that as president of France he would influence French opinion to support that policy. That the French, Russian and Serbian press was a controlled press and used to influence public opinion. Under the agreement of 1892 it was only necessary to cause Austria to mobilize when the secret treaty of 1892 became effective and the Rus sian and French governments were immediately under contract to attack Germany. That the Austrian mobilization was caused by Serbian intrigue and influences and financed by Russia. That the moment Austria partial ly mobilized the mobilization of Rus sia and Serbia begun and that Rus sia refused any moderating influence to stop the mobilization but carried out resolutely the secret agreement of 1892 and the military and naval conferences with France of 1912 and 1913. That Russia and Fiance were rally prepared, France having agreed by secret treaty to furnish 1,3"00,000 men. Joffre, in the 1913 conference. Stated that France had 200.000 uore men than tbey had agrfced on. Rus sia in 1914 had an army of 2,230, 000 men. That the German authorities ac ceped a state of war at 7:10 p. m.. August 1, 2914. for the declared rea son that they recognized the Russian government was determined to make war on Germany. The German bor der was crossed at four points by Russian patrols on August 1. That Russia, France and England spent more than $900,000,000 for war purposes in 1914 than Germany and Austria, who expended less than one-third as much as Russia, France and Great Britain in 1914. That the German officials made strenuous efforts to localize the con flict between Austria and Serbia. That the records published in Un Livre Noir, the secret records of the Russian foreign office at St. Peters burg, and the London-Russian docu ments in charge of de Siebert, secre tary of the Imperial Russian embassy at London, now publtshed in "En tente Diplomacy and the World." fully disclosed the above facts and it was part of the Russian diplomacy to compel the German government to assume the moral responsibility for the war by making the first war dec laration. Senator Owen said that when peo ple "who pay trixes and die on the battlefields" understand the danger of secret diploma y they would prob ably find a means to protect them selves by demanding open diplomacy. :o:- THE FARM AUTO Autos on farms are used chiefly for business purposes, very little for pleasure, according to queries made by Uncle Sam. Farmers interviewed claimed that from two-thirds to nine tenths of the us' of their machine was for farm business. The auto came in as a pleasure device, a toy for grown-ups. Now it's such a necessity that it's next door to indispensable. That will be the ul timate destiny of movies, radio and airplane. It costs the farmer an average of $200 to $290 a year to own and op erate an auto, reports the department of agriculture. That includes de preciation, interest on investment, etc. Farmers will find it interesting to figure the comparative cost of keeping a horse instead of an auto, also the comparative rcsufts.
