Farmer Must Be
Amply Paid, days

: . Dairymen.
Lincoln, Jan. 5. "If the fiimer ii

He paid for his services and we must
provide warehouses tor the surpluses
in bountiful years," Frank O. Low
den, former governor of Illinois,
old the Nebraska Dairymen's as
soeiation in convention here today.
"The farmer believes In the value
t'f what he produces and knows that
it i indispensable tj the world if
civilization is to get on," he said.
"When he sees that) the total value
of an unusually laroe crop is less in
the markets of th world than the
value of a smaty crop, he knows
that something is wrong in our meth
ods of distributilon. lie does not
need . to be fatliiliar with higher
mathematics to f.Jel sure that 12,000,.
L'UO bales of cottft ought to be worth
more than 6,HXuOO bales: for each
of the 2flQ0fim bales will be gen
uinely serviceable sooner or later in
clothing the Avorld.
"He has sijffn much improved finan
cial conditions come to one great
section the country because of an
.hnorihlly short crop of that staple.
He cjsan't persuade himself that the
bouVxveevil i a beneficent nornt of
ankind, and vet he is comnvlled. to
Imit that the cotton states are in
debted to that little insect for their
improved financial condition
Met and Solved.
"We know that no commodity
will be long produced below the
cost of production, and therefore it
ought never be necnuit'v to market
any farm commodity below such
"ost: tor if that !oirmodil7 can b
stored and held the world will have
to pay the cost some day.
"These problems have been met
and solved, in a large measure, in
Holland and Denmark and-among
the fruit growers of California, by
the organization of farmers' co-operative
societies. These societies do
not attempt to arbitrarily fix prices.
They do study the probable demand
and attempt to adjust production to
meet that demand. .
"Instead of throwing the entire
season's crop upon the market with
in a few short weeks, they provide
for orderly marketing of their prod
uct. The tendency of this is to
stabilize the market. And stabiliz
ing the market of any product is in
the end best for the consumer and
the producer alike. It is never a
good thing for anyone when any use
ful commodity is sold for less than
the cost, for under the inexorable
laws of economics curtailed produc
tion will follow until prices- ab
rioramlly high are the result. Any
commodity that is produced profit
ably year after year will in a long
series of years be produced more
cheaply than where there are violent
fluctuations.
Positive Treachery.
' "When the price of wheat on
Wednesday of one week is 10 cents
more a bushel than it was on the
Jnesday of the week before, this
w of supply and demand may
ean the difference between a profit
or loss upon a whole years worK
of the farmer.
"While in every other industry
we arc abreast of the most advanced
nations in commerce, in manufac
ture, in banking and merchandizing
there is not a nation in the world
that cannot teach America some
thing abotit farming. This has
been because of the great abund
ance of fertile lands in this country,
so rtiat we could exhaust one field
and then move on west and take up
virgin lad.
"If ou farm is worn out it is our
own fault, and if we do not restore
it within a reasonable time it is not
only our fault but it is an act of
positive treachery to the generations
that shall come after us."
Growing Big Hogs Is
Explained at Lincoln
" Lincoln, Jan. 5. (Special.) The
large type hog cannot be grown
from a small sire and dam. Care,
above all things is necessary to
grow huge hogs, whatever type of
hogs is being bred, W. H. Rasmus
sen of Norfolk said in an address
here today before the Nebraska
Swine Breeders association conven
tion. Mr. Rasmussen was speaking
on "Growing Them Big."
"It ' also is very important
that hogs have plenty of fresh
water at " all times and the
more suni.bine the better in the win
ter,'' Mr. Rasmussen stated. "These
two natural resources go a long way
toward keeping hogs healthy at this
season, while shade is equally as
necessary in the summer.
"Sows should be in the best of
condition at breeding time if the best
results are to be obtained. Better
care should be given a sow through
out the time the litters are being
carried, as I always have maintained
that a litter well started is half fin
ished, so if you take care of the sow
m time and have them in condi
tion, you can expect to raise a litter
of some importance."
Exercise also has its importance,
as well as a clean and dry house,
for the brood sow, well ventilated,
well bedded and free from lice. Mr.
Rasmussen added. He discussed at
some length the difference between
the large type of hog and the so
called "big" hog. .
Central City Negro Tells

cial.) William Harris, negro, was

Wallace Calls Farm
Conference January 23
Washington, Jan, J. The national
agricultural conference suggested by
President Harding has been called by
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace to
begin in Washington, Monday, Janu
ary 2J.
"It it expected that the president
will open the conference," Secretary
Wallace said yesterday. "Invitation
to attend it are going out daily and
acceptances are leina received. The
list of those who will attend will not
te completed for several days.
"In accordance with the president's

Nebraska to Get
Financial Aid
War Finance Corporation Will
Keep ' Farmers From
Bankruptcy.
Washington, . Jan. 5. (Special
Telegram.) J. II. Palmer, secretary
of the Nebraska State Bankers' asso
ciation; F. W. Thomas, regional
chairman of the War Finance cor
poration, and Attorney General Davis
of Nebraska, after an extended con
ference with Chairman Meyers and
the members of the War Finance
board over the financial situation so
it concerns the farmers of Nebraska,
arc much pleased with the outcome
of the meeting. While the men from
Nebraska did not get all they came
to Washington for, they got as much
as they could reasonably expect.
It is understood they secured a
satisfactory arrangement whereby
the solvent paper of failed banks in
Nebraska could be used through a
state corporation to secure any ad
vance of funds from the War Finance
corporation, whereby the farmers,
who made-the notes, could secure ex
tended credit and avoid ruin. This
was the plan proposed by Mr. Pal
mer at the initial hearing with the
War Finance corporation.
According to those who are postcu
as to the present financial situation
hi Nebraska, the agreement reached
is a big achievement for such farm
ers, as in many instances they would
be forced into .bankruptcy if t!iey
could not extend their notes. It is
further stated that the plan will also
avoid large assessments on stat-
banks to replenish the - guarantee
funds to meet immediate exigencies.
Former Iowa Governor
Urges Waterway to Sea
Duluth, Jan. iL -''America's trans'
portation system is in swaddling
clothes and the people look forward
to the proposed St. Lawrence im
provement as the only relief," said
V. L. Harding, former governor of
Iowa, in an address here last night..
Declaring that the unimproved St.
Lawrence waterway was the only
barrier to farmers in his home state
of Iowa in marketing their products
-at a reasonable cost, Mr. Harding as
sumed the attitude of New York in
terests, which he said had combined
to fight the project, when the plan cs
proposed can be completed without,
cost to the United States treasury.
Mr. Harding attacked the conten
tion of the "New York interests"
that they pay 28 per cent of the taxes
in the United States and that they
should not be denied the privilege of
having the New York .barge canal
developed to an extent which they
believe would be a better transpor
tation system than the St. Lawrence
improvement. . - . ' , ,
Woman Burned in Efforts
to Save Boys From Fire
Cedar Rapids, la., Jan. 5. One was
killed and three other persons were
badly burned early today in a fire
which destroyed the J. H. Matthews
home. Floyd Roy, 16, high school
student, was suffocated in his room.
Alfred Pundt, another student, was
severely burned, but escaped by
jumping from a second-story win
dow, and Mr. and Mrs. Matthews
were badly burned in getting out.
Punda and Mr. and Mrs. Matthews
were rushed to Mercy hospital,
where today the condition of Pundt
and Mrs. Matthews is declared criti
cal. Mrs. Matthews' heroic efforts to
save the boys caused her injuries.
After being awakened by the smoke
and flames she rushed downstairs, but
turned back to arouse the two stu
dents. When she started down again
the stairway was burning and she
was forced to run through the flames.

For hours the Fortune Hunter sat
In the dark nets of his room, looking
hopelssly into a past and into a
future of which be knew there could
be but one solution. He mut go, he
must make the only ponible repara
tion that still lay In his power, by
walking out of Anne Harding's life
forever.
If he stayed he believed there
cculd be no happiness tor either of
them. After what had happend .he
could never really trust him again.
She had said that she loved him,
but the Fortune Hunter knew well
enough that there is such a thing as
a pity which is not really a near
kin to love, but only a very poor
distant relation.
He went back, step by step, over
every moment ot the days tie nad
spent with Anne since fate had
brought him to Somerton, and he
realized with au agony -.of remorse
that he had done but little to repay
her goodness and devotion.
It seemed to him, too, in the height
of his misery, that, given the time
over again, it would nave been so
easy to tell her the whole truth from
the bginning and trust to her love
for forgiveness. He felt that he had
been a madman not to takt Garry
Cannon's advice even at the eleventh
hour and play the man. But it was
all so many weary days too late.
Nothing could bring back the past,
with its many wasted opportunities.
And, after all, she had been mar
ried to the man whom he had found
dead in the woods that afternoon.
Bitterest jealousy added to his pain
of remorse as he wondered why he
had never before guessed the truth.
So. many times she had said things
that should have told him. Even as
far back as that first morning they
spent together on the island she had
said:
"And if uncle asks you about our
our wedding what snail you tell
him?"
What a callous brute she must
have thought himl
And again, only two days ago, she
had said bitterly: "I still have one
ring of yours, which I have never
dared to wear."
Even that had not told him, and
now. the game was at an end. The
lights were out, and presently the
curtain would be rung down between
them for ever. . -
He sat with his head in his hands
till the long night had passed away
and the first grey streak of dawn
began to mingle with the moonlight;
then he rose, stretched his cramped
limbs and 'drew up his blind.
The white road "lay there beyond
the garden, long and deserted, as
if it were patiently waiting for him
to go back to it to start again on
his weary tramp through" life.
He had known happy days in the
highways and . byways days free
from care and responsibility, bat they
were things of the past, never to
come again. It was to eternal bond
age, not freedom that he would be
returning presently, when he took the
road again.'
; He changed his clothes and put
on the old worn -suit in which he
had come to Somerton. Then he un
locked, all the drawers and boxes
that held John Smith's possessions
and laid the keys on the dressing
table. -. "
Somewhere in the house a clock
struck four. He crossed the room
noiselessly, opened ' the door and
looked out on to the landing. All
was dark and still, but a faint ap
prehension prevented him from go
ing out that way and risking meeting
anyone, and he went back again into
the room, closing the door behind
him,' and softly unlatched the win
dow. . :

breath of autumn, came to him faint
ly on the misty morning air, and he
leaned down and, with unsteady
hands, broke off one of the dying
blooms and put it away in his coat;

widely open and swung himself out
on to the sill.
For a moment he hesitated, his
heart torn with unbearable pain and
longing: then slowly he let himirll

A moment; then he let go, and
dropped noiselessly to the sloping

It was growing light and the trees

out of the darkness like queer, shape
less figures: an eerie world it seemed,
and one which he had never before
chanced upon in his wanderings.
He had almost reached the garden
gate when out of the shadow some
thing stirred, and a man's hoarse
cough broke the silence.
' The Fortune Hunter stood still, his
heartbeats quickening a little, for he
knew who waited there for him, and.

from his determination, he turned
hurriedly back, skirted the boundary
of the garden till he reached a low
part of the wall some 20 feet from the

inio the road below,
lie walked swiftly away towards
th. village, then, without a back,
ward glance, his head downbent, his
shoulders drooping, still carrying his
shabby hat, and presently the morn
ing mist and the mist from the river
together shut out Cherry Lodge as
if with an obscuring veil.
In his numbed heart was a vague
feeling of gratitude to Fernie that he
had waited to long and patiently
through the chilly autumn night to
say good-bye, or, perhaps, to try and
persuade him not to go. It was
something to know that perhaps the
old man felt a shadow of regret, even
of affection.
At the end of the village a sign
peat stood at cross-roads, and the
Fortune Hunter glanced up at the
directions mechanically.
"To London." Garry Cannon
was there, and would be glad to see
hint, he knew, but he was in no
mood for Cannon's blunt sympathy,
and it was deliberately that he
turned and struck acrosa the fields
through which he had come to Som
erton that first day.
The entrance to the woods where
he had found the body of John
Smith was strewn with dead and
dying leaves. The footpath was al
most covered with them. The tall
bracken was brown and withered
and helplessly bending earthwards.

It was here that he had tat a

known a far greater happiness, min
