When the present Congress was convened it was generally agreed that • farm relief legislation was one of its most im portant tasks, yet we find the members about ready to go home for the summer with noth- ■ ing done. I ~ .As a matter of fact the- administration was willing to let things rock along until Secre tary Mellon was forced to say something. The idea, as old as politics itself, was to make all | sorts of promises and then tell the farm people that for this reason and that reason it was im possible to get anything done. The farm peo ple were wise this time, however, and when the Haugen bill, with its equalization fee fea ture, was defeated they went to the adminis tration to know the reason why. j The same fee plan is offered in the McNairy bill and Secretary Mellon, as one of the leading I members of the Coolidge official family, is; • opposing it. His opposition has brought forth j comment of all kind, including a retort from ; Representative Dickinson, Republican, lowa,! -■who declared “when the statement of Secre tary Mellon is stripped of all specious pretext , it means that the interests for whom he spoke £ are not willing that the protective system shall | mean anything for the American farmer.” 1 Representative Dickinson hails from lowa j, it should not be overlooked. His attitude as I j a Republican should give light to those per ’ sons who perhaps have wondered why Sena -2 tor Cummins was defeated in the recent pri- P mary by Col. Smith W. Brookhart. The atti- i tude of Mr. Dickinson is similar to that of j thousands of other persons in lowa and the farming west and northwest. They are tired' of the Republican promises, many of which j were made at the time President Coolidge was ■ • elected. ! ; The Republicans want to please the farm' • vote, yet at the same time they don’t want to I do anything that will antagonize the special 1 interests which control the party. It is so' much easier to promise than to carry out the I promises and they are still hopeful, apparently, I of getting by with the same negative policy. j 3 SELFISHNESS A CURSE. Dr. Charles W. Elliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, has learned many) things. He has lived 92 years and has learn-j ed these things as a scholar and as a man who' observes the things about him. Speaking to a group of young men the other day he said: “If I had the opportunity to say a final word to all the young people in America it would be this: Don’t think too much about yourself. When all you can think about is j yourself you are in a bad way.” j Dr. Elliot could well have given this ad vice to older people as well as to young ones. | We find selfishness as the root of mauf of our present-day evils, creating a condition that does not recognize service, friendship, broth-j erly love and co-operation. Where there is no j thought for others there is no sweetness in, life, and where there is no sweetness there is 1 H little right living. | The selfish man becomes irritable, greedy \ and self-cqntered, ready at all times to strike a bargain that is often too hard. He builds I only for himself, loses his touch of fellowship and sets as his goal in life self aggrandize ment. i : EJJiot hafeityyed long and wrought\wdlj. ” His life has b6er> rich with faithfu' associa ! tions and true comradeships. In this case he U has spoken wisely, giving out advice t%t M k followed would eliminate war, religious co*tr©-- fe versiss, political scandal.-, and every day crime. THE WEALTH OF AMERICA. I When one reads of the great national wealth: ■ of the United States it is not so hard to under : stand why people of other nations think this is the promised land. Our great wealth as a nation also makes other nations jealous, and in some cases at least, makes people of other nations expect many financial favors from us. The Federal Trade Commission, meeting in Washington, has just made public, at the re quest of the Senate, a report on the National wealth of the United States. It has reached the colossal sum of $353,- (100,000,000, and is increasing in a manner still ' more amazing. J The national income is figured at $70,000,- i 000,000 annually. The annual income of the United States is twice the entire National wealth of Italy, and six times that of Belgium. Our wealth is $40,000,000,000 more than that of Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, : Belgium, Hungary, and Denmark combined, i Throw in gigantic Russia, and the United States still balances the scale.

VALUE OF THE COUNTRY SUNDAY SCHOOL. | Clarence Poe. in The IYogressive Fanner. Reviewing the country Sunday school s another op portunity that should have attention now. It may be that in your neighborhood the Sunday School runs on all through the winter, as it should, but in many neighbor hoods this is not the case. Anyhow, any neighborhood where there is now no Sunday school in easy reach of everybody should present itself as an appeal, a chal lenge. and a call to any subscriber who is qualified to teach or to help organize such a Sunday school. Too many people nowadays are uotnphrning about un wholesome recreations engaged in by our young peo ple but are doing nothing to provide wholesome oppor tunities for young people to get together. Just as the surest way to keep down weeds in the garden is to have sdmdthing gro\fing instead of weeds, sn the surest way to prevent bad habits on the part of hoys and girls is to provide opportunities whereby they may cultivate good habits ami wholesome agencies of acquaintance and worthy living. Certainly there need today as por tal* never before for strong church organizations in both town and country. And it is almost a universal rule that where there is u strong Sunday school the church is growing and where there is a weak Sunday School or none at all, the church membership is dwindl ing. Only this morning a pastor in our office told us that practically all his accessions to church membership come through the Sunday school. Wherever there is no neighborhood Sunday school, we hoi>e some of our Progressive Farmer subscribers will get together and get one started within the next thirty days. THE FOOLS ARE NOT ALL DEAD. Monroe Enquirer. (hi a recent day an evangelist dropped Into The En quirer office for a chat. The man could quote scripture by the yard, and everywhere he goes people flock to his services to hear him preach. “I believe the Bible from Genesis to Revelation—ev ery word of it—literally.’* stated the evangelist. •’You are a fundamentalist, thenV” I inquired. “Yes. sir. I take the Bible to be true aud mean what it says from lid to cover.” “Well, then, how do you Pterally explain the “four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, hold ing the four winds of the earth.” as related bv St. John?” “Just as it says." “Evidently, then, you believe she earth is squareV” “The Bible says so—and I do not question the Bible.” There are lots of queer folks in this world and none so blifld an those who will uot see. The very next day after the fundamentalist brother had aired his views if not his knowledge .there came a I'n -on county citizen and related that some years ago a man of his acquaintance also ' believed the Bible." This man took the Good Book so literally that when his wife died he said, "Let the dead, bury the dead.*' and made no ef fort whatever toward funeral arrangements. But the neighbors said tin* old cuss wasn't regretful j when his wife died. I FIRST OTTERED s#.ooo FOR TIMBER. HE GOT | $22,500. The Progressive Farmer. • Recently a large farmer living not thirty miles from our Raleigh offiee decided to sell his timber. Seeking of fers from several local lumbermen, the best bill he could get was $6,000, ami he was so nearly satisfied with the proposition that lie was just about to accept it. Before doing so. however, lie called on his lawyer, and the law yer advised him to get other bids before closing the trade—get some careful considered estimates as to the quantity of timber and get offers from some larger lum ber companies. And to make a long story short, the upshot of it all was that our farmer friend got $22,500 eash down for timber he hu(i been just about to sell for $6,000. | Wbut happened in this case has happened (in greater or less degree) ten thousand times in all parts of the South. There is no product that sells so far below its real value in mst cases as timber. Hence the forestry work now :bet»g conducted by bur agricultural colleges | | aad state departments of agriculture in co-operation with county tagemts has almost unimaginable opportuni j ties for usefnlftess. 1 No farmer who has timber to sell should make a trade w-thout coasttitiaig some disinterested iiereon who knows values.

Who Will Creat Fund. (By International News Service) Fayetteville, June 16. —Enhance- ment in. value of a little cottage of a humble old negro drayman who died here three years back and left alt his possessions to a multi-millionaire has resulted in the creatiou of a $5,000 Christmas fund, for the benefit of Cross Creek township negroes. TV. W. Fuller. New York lawyer, is the donor of the trust, which will be known ns the James McAllister Christmas Fund, bearing the old at gro's name. The little home on a Fayetteville side street has increased in value since his death, and the millionaire, finding it worth more money than the slave-negro ever dreamed of possess ing himself, ronverted to into a trust fund to be administer by three Cum berland county citizens. The trust consists of 7 tier cent, preferred stoea of the BetlilAem Steel Company. ‘'When I have been in trouble or needed help or advice,” the old negro’s will read. "I knew where to turn, and Mr. Willie never failed me. He may not need my little home. . . but he will know better what to do with it than I; and in this I want to show my appreciation of what lie lias done for me." Among McAllister’s possessions was the horse and dray which he had driv en on the streets of Fayetteville for years. This was kept by the bene ficiary of the will, and is now at Ful ler's winter home at Pifiehurst, where a canopy has been built to preserve it. And there the two-wheeled dray will remain, compelling proof that sentiment is not dead. \V. B. ELLIS IS GIVEN ROAD TERM; APPEALS Winston-Salem Man is Convicted in City Court in Two Cases Charging Criminal Libel. Winston-Salem, June 16.—W. 11. Ellis, manufacturer and capitalist of this city, was this morning sentenced to serve four months on the county roads in each of two cases charging him with criminal libel, the sentences to run concurrent. The judgment, rendered in the municipal court, was appealed from aud bond was fixed at SSOO - cases charging Mr. Ellis with libel grew out of the issuing over a period of several years pamphlets in which the character of various local men were attacked. The specific warrants were issu'd on the stri agtJt of jAthtphrcAii' recently g Htetl both of which he charged that core tain attorneys perjured themselves on the witness stand in the case wherein several local attorneys and attorneys from out of town were suing E’.lis for a $15,000 fee which lie refused to pay them for their ap pearance for him in a case last year. The character of the attorneys ap pearing for him last year, numbering several local and prominent lawyers, is also ridiculed in the pamphlets., I)R.
