Low Overhead Expense and Bountiful

Overcome Agricultural
Depression.
' The recent agricultural depression
brought to the eyes of the world the
fact that one of Its basic industries
tvas likely to suffer a severe blow un
less steps were taken to secure a rem
edy. Physician after physician ap
plied remedies, but even parliamenta
rians and newspapers were unable
to place their finger on the pulse that
'would respond. As It appears today,
It was a spasmodic wave due to the
ebb and flow of the tide of readjust
ment that was bound to follow a dis
turbance such as the Great War
caused.
Psychologically It was b<#ind to
change; there was certain to be a re
flex movement tliaf would bring agri
cultural conditions hack to the place
where they normally and rightly be
long.
Efficiency and sound business judg
ment are needed more in agriculture
today than ever before and are as Im
portant to the farmer as to a railroad
company, or to a great steel corpora

an equal footing In the competition
for a lower cost of production. In
Western Canada the farmer has come
through the dark era with that forti
tude nnd determination so peculiar to
a new country, nnd is meeting the
changed situation with energy and n
smile. In Western Canada the farmer
Is not hampered by an annual over
head expense of heavy Interest on
high-priced innd. He Is able to pro
duce at a minimum, because his land
value seldom exceeds $50 an acre.
Owing to the fact that he is farming
land the price of which is from $25
to $50 an acre, producing crops of
wheat running from 20 to 40 bushels
per acre, and other grains In propor
tion, he is able to produce at a low
cost. In addition to this, a fact which
6hould not be lost sight of, is the large
area that he can farm at low cost, giv
ing him an added advantage in reduc
ing the cost of production.
The corn that the farmer fully ex
pected to bring him over a dollar
bushel, he saw carried nwav to the
market, and bring back a 30 or 40 cent
,, check. Wheat for the whole of Can
ada averaged 86 cents a bushel in 1921
ns compared with $1.62 in 1920; oats
37 cents as against 53 cents; barley
47 cents as against 83 cents. Other
grain prices similarly fell. While
other parts of the continent, where
grain-growing Is carried on, have suf
fered in like manner by deflation in
prices, they hnve had to face a much
higher cost in production, such ns high
rents, high-priced farms, and high
taxes. Farmers had calculated on re
ceiving war or nearly war figures for
their grain nnd therefore were amply
justified in submitting to the tax that
soaring land prices set upon them.
Western Canada fortunately did not
suffer from inflated land prices. There
fore, when grain prices fell, the losses
sustained were not so great; they did
not cut out the margin of profit, ex
cepting in some cases where some cli
matic conditions caused it.

Not at All a Bad Idea.
Just ns tugboats and American Le

calls to hubby from the kitchen for

The wife of a farmer had a tongue

the midst of a heavy downpour of

Problem in Criticism.
Criticism presents to the creator a

proper presence or an irrelevant, lie
might psychologically dispose of it.

BORAH CHARGES
4 POWER TREATY
FIXEDSECRETLY
Produces Speech of Cravath,
Morgan Lawyer, to Prove
Agrement Between U. S.,
Britain, to Control Pacific.
BV JAMES R. NOURSE
Washington, March 21. — A speech
by Paul D. Cravath, attorney for J.
P. Morgan and other International
banking Interests, was introduced in
the Senate Monday as ecidence of a
“secret understanding" between the
United States and Great Britain for
control of the Pacific In connection
with the four-power treaty.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, produced
a stenographic transcript of the
Cravath speech. In the opinion of
the Senate authorities, the “secret
agreement" mentioned by the Morgan
attorney constituted not only an act
of treachery to the other oowers In
the treaty, but would be undeniably
provocation of war.
Formulated at Arms Parley.
The Cravath speech was delivered
at a private gathering of the council
of foreign relations, an association of
New York bankers, held in New York
city February 17. Although the meet
ing was not open to the public, Sen
ator Borah obtained the reporter’s
transcript of what Cravath said in
assuring his fellow bankers that the
secret understanding had been for
mulated at the arms conference.
Opponents of the treaty saw in It
an effective weapon by which to de
feat ratification.
Senators Lodge and LTnderwood,
members of the American delegation,
denied such an agreement existed.
Senator Borah came back with the
statement that although they knew
nothing about it, he refused to believe
the story untrue.
Later in the day Senator Borah was
shown a statement issued by Mr.
Cravath in his New York office de
nying the existence of such an agree
ment, to which Senator Borah re
plied:
“I have the record. I am satis
fied with it."
May Call Hughes, Root, Cravath.
The most important development of
the publication of Mr. Cravath's re
marks was the inauguration of a
movement to have the treaty sent
back to the foreign relations com
mittee and have Secretary Hughes,
Elihu Root and Mr. Cravath summon
ed as witnesses to tell what they
know about it.
A motion to recommit the treaty
will be made probably Tuesday by
Senator Shields of Tennessee. This
will put Senator Lodge and the rest
of the republican majority on record
as to whether they want all the facts
disclosed or will insist upon a vote
to ratify without any more informa
tion than the Senate now has regard
ing the treaty, its origin and its pur
pose.
Senator Lodge visited the White
House Monday and discussed the
treaty situation with President
Harding who expressed a desire to
have it ratified without the Harding
Brandagee reservation now before the
Senate. Senator Lodge told the pres
ident tills could not be done, that un
less the reservation is attached the
treaty will be rejected.

CRAVATH ATTACKS
BORAH FOR REPORT
New York, March 21.—Referring to
the statement made in the Senate
Monday by Senator Borah to the ef
fect that Paul D. Cravath had stated
that there was an “unwritten agree
ment" that the United States and
Great Britain should act together "in
any emergency in the Pacific," Mr.
Cravath authorizes this statement:
“There is not the remotest foun
dation for the statement report
ed to have been made by Senator
Borah in the Senate Monday in
which my name was used. It is
pure romance. I cannot make my
denial too strong and unequivo
cal.”
TO LOWER REPARATION
DEMANDS ON GERMANY
Tiiris, March 21. — The reparation
commission, which is to fix Germany's
payments for 1922, meets here today.
The sum of 2,000,000,000 gold marks,
which was agreed upon last May as
the German reparations payment, for
this year, will be reduced, it was un
derstood, and an arrangement made
for payment of more than one-half
this amount in kind Instead of cash.
Approximately 720,000,000 gold marks
casli will be asked. The condition
upon which reduction of cash pay
ments required will be granted the
Germans, will be according to author
itative sources, that the German gov
ernment stop its money printing
presses and reduce its inflated cur
rency.
BRITISH SUGGEST BONDS

RICKARD
IS SENT
TO TOMBS
When 8 Jurors Are Picked to
Try Sports Promoter on
Charges of Girl, Judge Can.
cels HiB Bail of $25,000.
New York, March 21.—Tex Rickard
was sent to the Torobs Monday night.
Supreme Court Justice Isldor Was
servogel following the adjournment of
court Monday at which eight Jurors
were chosen to try tho sports pro
moter on the charges of 15-year-old
Sarah Schoenfleld, cancelled tho bail
of $25,000 and committed Rickard
to prison pending the outcome of the
trial.
The sending of Rickard to jail came
like a bombshell at the conclusion of
a tedious day of jury drawing.
Rickard was allowed about 15 min
utes to confer with his counsel In
the court room before he was led over
the "bridge of sighs" which connects
th<i criminal court building with the
Tombs prison.
Counsel for the defense was dumb
founded when Rickard was remanded.
The sports promoter, who had taken
an active part earlier in the day in
the selection of the Jury, presented
a downcast appearance for the first
time since the charges were made
’ against him.
A targe crowd had collected in tin
lower floor of the criminal court
building hoping to get a glimpse of
the promoter, but police reserves, aid
ed by court attendants, sent the curi
ous away with the Information tha<
Rickard had been “sent to Jail.”

probably by President Harding and
Secretaries Hughes and Mellon.
Mexico’s bonded debt to the Unit
ed States is estimated at between
$400,000,000 and $425,000,000, interest
duo on which is between $40,000,000
ar.d $45,000,000. The $13,000,000 '

Wishing for sleep
is a poor way to get it
A LITTLE wisdom in the daytime
is a better assurance of rest than
any amount of anxious wishing when
nerves are a-jangle at night.
What you do at noon often has
more influence on sleep than what you
want and hope for, at midnight.
Coffee’s drug element, caffeine,
whips up the nerves, and when its
use is continued there’s usually a pen
alty which no amount of mental effort
can avoid.
The part of wisdom, as so many
thousands have found, is
to turn away from nerve
stimulation and adopt
rich, delicious Postum as
the mealtime drink.
Postum delights the
taste, but brings no dis
turbance to nerves or digestion. Even
the little children can share in the en
joyment of Postum at any meal.
It’s better to anticipate warnings
than to be driven by them.
*
It’s better to encourage and pre
serve sound nerves and complete
health than to listen to the clock ticks
at night and say, “I wish!”
You can get Postum wherever
good food or drink is sold and served.
An order today may be the beginning,
for you, of the great satisfaction and i
comfort which so many others have
found in Postum.
