President Coolidge was the recipi
ent the other day of an unique pres
ent one that he should keenly ap
preciate. Persons who visited Washington
during the World War period will no
doubt recall seeing a flock of sheep
peacefully browsing on the White
House lawn. These sheep were the'
personal property of President Wil
son. It was his idea to place them
on the lawn to keep the greensward
trimmed down and thus relieve for
war service, the men who had been
employed in looking after the White
House grounds.
At regular intervals the Wilson
sheep were sheared, and the wool
donated to the Red Cross for sale at
patriotic auction. In one instance the
wool crop sold at $10,000 per pound
the highest priced wool in history.
When Woodrow Wilson left the
White House he presented the sheep
twelve in number, to Dick Probert,
manager of the Washington bureau of
the Associated press. Every news
paper man of consequence in the
United States knows and loves Dick
Probert. He was an intimate personal
friend of the great war president, and
probably has a wider acquaintance
among public men than any person
in America. As is well known, the
newspapers and newsgathering or
ganizations assigned to duty in Wash
ington the very ablest men they can
find, and the 'Associated Press made
no mistake when, several years ago,
Dick Probert was put in command of
its Washington bureau. i

TELL-TALE HANDS
E. T. Meredith, former Secretary of
Agriculture, has a plan for solving
the problem of farm relief which at
least has the merit of frankness. He
does not attempt to camouflage price
fixing, as is done under the Haugen
plan, but urges that a government
commission at the beginning of each
crop year guarantee a minimum price
for six major crops. If the producers
fail to receive this price in the open
market, the deficiency is to be made
good from the Treasury.
Mr. Meredith argues that his plan
would result in a balanced production
and that argiculture would then bej
stabilized as manufacturing is already
stabilized. He assumes that the guar
anteed minimum price would be high
enough to assure an ample supply,
but not so high as to stimulate the
production of a surplus. This is not
convincing. The recent crop surpluses
have not been caused by high prices;
they exist in 6pite of low prices. The
weather has played an important part
in the ( outcome. A price guarantee
would remove the penalty of over
production and might make a bad sit
uation worse. And Just how a gov
ernment commission can know in ad
vance that a stipulated price will
result in a given output is something
that Mr. Meredith does not explain.
While this plan is impracticable, it
serves further to emphasize the fact
that agriculture is in a bad way
There would not be such a flood of
remedies if the disease were only im
aginary. It does not suffice to point
out that most of the proposals are
unsound. The fact that so many farm
leaders are on the wrong track makes
it all the more incumbent upon busi-
