Loading up several ships with mal contents and radical extremists, the President of Chile sent them to au island in the Pacific with his good wishes and his hopes that they might work out a civilization to their own liking. Out there they can throw bombs, they can engage in any violence or do any of the stunts which they were carrying on in Chile. If they object to established insti tutions in their own island bailiwick, it will be their right to bomb them. Whatever is wrong in the conduct of affairs, they can demolish with torch and blasting powder. Being of like minds, they can ap ply their philosophy of violence with out challenge from those who believe in governments, law and established authority. It is their island, and there will be no capitalistic hand to wrong them or oppose them or humil iate them. If they believe in the torch and the infernal machine and violence, why should they not on their own island domain pursue liberty as they see it, and shoot up the town or blow up the banks or burn up all the temples of authority?

Dlight, caused by frequent rains and lack of sunshine, has reduced the size of potatoes in the irrigated district of western Ne braska, a report by the United States Department of Agriculture declares. The acreage in this district was increased but an adverse condition, supposed to be early blight, has caus ed the tubers to be considerably smaller than usual, the report says. Quality of the stock in many fields is only fair and the total tonnage may be reduced by 25 per cent. The growers were receiving $1 or less per 100 pounds. "In the dry land district, a much larger crop is expected on the increas ed acreage," the resume continues. "Quality appears to be very good and the average yield may be considera bly heavier than usual. Shipments may run one-third greater than last season.

Few have painted a grayer picture of the farm- ; er's lot than hus United States Sen lat:r Albert W. Barkley of Kentucky. Farmers with net Incomes less than half these of other workers, farm property declining tremendous ly and taxes going up, inequality in costs of products and lack of federal aid are some of the ailments Barkley finds in his diagnosis of agriculture. The cure, to him, is the kind of gov ernment aid that President Coolidge vetoed in the last session of congress. "In the last six years," Barkley declares, "the farmer has seen the niue of his property decline more i than $17,000,000,000. He has seen ; the value of hid products decline in ithe same period more than $13, 000,000,000, making an aggregate loss to agriculture in stx years of more than $30,000,000,000. "This is greater than the total value of all the railroads in the United States. "He has also seen his net income decline until last year it was less than $700 compared with an average of more than $1,5000 for all other walks of life. He has seen his indebtedness increase until last year it amounted to more than $12,0770,000,000. "He has seen his agricultural popu lation. decline until it is now scarcely more than one-third of our total population. "During the same period the farmer . has been compelled to see the cost of production to him more than doubled. And during this same six years the farmers have seen their taxes increased from $350,000,000 to $900,000,000 a year." ' FOR SALE AND TRADE Modern six-room house on paving, Herman J.
