Benz, of St. Taul, agricultural ex pert for the Northern Par: lie rail? road, in sneaking at thu Lions club luncheon Friday noon upon the farm problem and its relation ship to the economic fabric. The basic industries, according to the classification made by the, speak er, were farming, lumbering, min ing and the fisheries. Any indus try' that creates values that have not existed before is a basic indus try, he said in explanation. I'm ! Smii lias Faults "Present day conditions are the result of long standing conditions, with the farmer on the inside and the public on the outside," Air. Uenz said. "Uncle Sam is too good hearted- most of the time, short sighted all the lime and the bum mest business man on the face of the earth. Problems confronting the farmer today can be traced back to the old homestead days. If Undo Sam ,had never Kiven a foot of ground free of charge we would have a flourishing farming iridustry today. This gift of ground created a wrong psycholo gy and people who received the land became satisfied with condi tions; towns and railroads arriv ed; property values rose and peo ple believed that they were mak ing money." ''The tendency today is for a man to locate upon a farm af ter he lias failed in all other lines specialist. The successful farmer is the rational farmer who obeys the laws of nature which are the laws of God." Agricultural Needs Seen 'Agriculture has four outstand ing needs, according to Mr. Hen.. These are education, the best ob tainable; organization, which is not to be feared; representation, legislation and elimination. Too often the politician comes to the farmer with Impossible and never possible! promises. These politic ians were called the next thing to a bed bug and a parasite by the speaker, who explained that he had the highest regard for a true statesman, whether county, state or national. "Radicalism is spreading and efforts are being made to get one third of the 'farm ( population into a socialistic way of thinking," the speaker said. "Present conditions are being used to stir up discon tent. Stable and constructive views are being changed to un construictive and un-American views. If we are true Americans we will be for one people, one flag and one God and not for a country which will develop into class control." noticeable? that only a fe w men left at 1 o'clock.

Managers XeHled , "What farms need is to be man aged by managers. There is too much government in business and not enough business in govern ment. We do not need so much legislation but provide fewer laws and jet common sense rule. Amer ican farms today waste more than other countries produce. We do not farm but skim. The eastern coast has been depleted and the move is toward the west. By pro per management deficits will be changed into gains and liabilities into assets." In prefacing his talk Mr. Benz said that the conglomerate masses of the east is un-American and do not know America. When they wain 10 go sornewnere tney go abroad. For millions of people the sun rises in the Atlantic and sets behind the Allegheny moun tains., He held that there are no Americans like the- western men and women.

Jessee, who is to deliver an address in the First Christian church Tuesday, Feb. 5, at 7:30 p. m. on the subject "The Fall of Booze and the Reign of Law," is said to be a speaker of great-ability, convincing logic and taultless diction a modern proph et with a . message that America needs. His ability as a, speaker is such as to have elicited words of com mendation from Lew R. Sarett, professor of public speaking, Northwestern university, who said: "I have heard Charles C. Jessee speak several times, and each time he has impressed me with his splendid Dower. His manner is sincere and convincing; the sub ject matter of his address is con crete and gripping. Altogether he is a most effective speaker." The meeting is free to the pub 1 ic. Everybody is invited. He is under lthe management of the Flying Squadron Founda tion.
