THURSDAY, JANUARY, S, 19*4 FARMERS ARE GETTING DESPERATE Faced with the unfavorable condi tions in agriculture in many regions of the United States that have re sulted in a widespread emigration from the rural districts to the cites and industrial centers, estimated by the United States Department of Agriculture at nearly 2,000,000 during the years 1922-23 many American fanners are seeking betterment through the enactment of State or national legislation. There does not appear'to be any general agreement as to the kind of laws that they want or that aright reasonably be expected to give them beter returns for their labor and capital invested in theii farina, but they are agreed that for - malty of them existing conditons are • intolerable, and that some method of relief must be found. United State: Senator Wheler, of Montana, aptly expressed the sentiment of the West when .he declared that the farmers are tired of theories, and that they do nob propose to go along with Ml CoHd^e’s sugestion. He closed a more or le^l fervid statement with the as sertion that the West would .send rep resntatives to Washington that would make Magnus Johnson look like a rank conservative, unles something tangible ' is acpomplished, and soon. It is « serious situation, not alone for the farmers, but for the great mas of people who are depndent on them for an existence. Money has ben loaned untikit is doubtful of the debts can aver se paid—certainly not under-ex isting' conditons. Co-operative buyin? and selling is only a partial remedy, one that will require several years to . produce tangible results.

Postmaster General | Harry New, and both the [Indiana f xn ■' ators endorsed the stock and urged together, wouldn’t yon T Certain you would, and so would I, and aa would anyone who had a heart Arid that la why I am writing this article. I have the feeling that when you read these lines, you will reach for your hat and say, "Where are hose toys? Let’s start something.” A thrifty, big-hearted woman gave ie the idea. She worked it out and ?ound it practical. She haJ observed hat every Christmas every store had nany damaged articles, such as toys, cards, and so forth, that had to be thrown away. She calculated that the toys could be very easily repaired, that the cards very easily have the spots rubed off, and a lot of children who would otherwise have no Christ mas could he made happy and it would not cost anybody anything either. So, a few weeks before Christmas she got a few of her friends togehter and they made the rounds of the stores, interviewed the merchants and easily got them to agree to donate such toys and cards and picture-books as might become unsalable through breakage or soiling. Then just before Christmas a number of deft-fingered women met at the home of one of their member. The broken toys were there, so were soiled picture -books and cards. Tables wer ready and there was a supply of mending material—glue, twine, strips of leather, crews, tacks, adhesive tape, wire, paste, paper of various colors and quick-drying paints, and erasers to take the spots off books and cards. It was not long before the repairs were made and there was astack of things, that make children big-eyed, ready to be sent where they would do the most good. There were many beautiful and ex pensive articles in the lot and the fact that they had been mended did not lessen their value one jot in the eyes of the children who recived them. A Christmas 'mending party is a splendid idea. It costs nobody any thing, it utilizes awaste-product, it makes alot of litle hearts happy. It could well be made an institution every year in every locality. And it would help a lot of grown folks to feel better too.
