he didn't feel ns well as others,
but there Is no sign of it now
nnd ho is as well as his years per

Hhould happen to oat a lunch in
the pantry before bedtime.
Yesterday Mr. Poll! took a walk
down to tho neighborhood store

Organization Said Remedy
For Present Low Price
of Products
NO PRIVILEGES MED
Parity For Agriculture
Plea of Capper
Is
CO-OPERATION HELD NEED
Senator Optimistic , Over New
Conjrrcsa and Feels Tliat Con
sideration Will Bo Olven
to Agriculture
(By Th Associated Preta)
CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 8. The
.American farmer's first need Is a
fair profit for his products, and to
obtain ft the agriculturist must
first follow the example of other
Industries In organizing for self
protection, Arthur Capper, United
State senator from Kansas, said
tonight- at the annual banquet of
the American Farm Bureau fed
eration. "The farmer is fully justified in
asking of congress that the eco
nomic rewards of agriculture shaM
be on a parity with those accorded
to industry," said Senator Capper.
"He is not demanding special
privileges; equality of opportunity
is all that he desires.
Others Get Help
The tariff helps the manufac
turer: immigration restriction helps
labor; the Esch-Cummins act helps
the railroad and the federal re
serve act helps the banks and the
farmer pays a good part of the
cost without receiving his fair
share of the benefits of much of
this legislation. .
'The farmer needs all the help
that can possibly be given him- at
Washington, but I sometimes fear
he will be disappointed If he waits
for congress to bring him prosperity."
' The senator said the farmer's
dollar Is worth now only 85 per
cent of its pre-war value and that
tho farmer earns a net income of
less than four per cent annually on
ills net investment. .
Taxes bring another Inequality to
the farmer. Last year in most
farming states taxes absorbed one-
third of his income compared with
less than one-tenth in 1913, .
: 1 ' ' Others Pass Increase t
"All other business passes its in
creased tax on to the consumer,
but it Is impossible for the farmer
to do this. - ,
"I am anxious to see this gov
ernment put through an aggressive
nollcv for advancement or. agri
culture. I admit, however, that
after six years at Washington I am
convinced that the best tne gov
ernment can do for farmers is of
little Importance compared with
what by careful thought out loyal
co-operation they can do tor tnem-selves."
The senator was rather optimistic
over the new congress "Judging
from what little I have seen of it,
'and believed the farmer, if pre
senting a reasonably unified plan
would get more consideration than
at any past session.
Good Market Seen
' Lookinc ahead five years. Sen
ator Capper saw an excellent home
market, with, however, a pessi
mistic outlook for sales overseas.
"Equality for agriculture is an
Issue that wilt not down and which
must be placed squarely under our
,'protectlve system. Our tariff must
apply to agriculture surpiusses.
"While the government should
not engage In the buying and selling
of commodities, nor the arbitrary
fixing of prices, it can take a more
active part in finding a better mar
ket for our agricultural surplus,
that prices of farm products shall
not continue out of line with the
general price level."

Attorney Gives Statement - -
"I have been instructed by my
client to commence in his behalf
in the supreme "court of this state,
against his wife for ' a decree of
separation. His purpose Is to est
tabllsh that he has been aban
doned by his wife without justi
fication and that he is entitled to
the custody of his infant son; The
devices . of those controlling the
actions of his wife to separate and
to keep him separated-from her
and his child will be fully set

ilicr, reminding her that she was
fully , aware of his coming before
she departed for Palm Beach and
that he regarded her conduct-as
heartless. Her reply was in. effect
that she could see no reason lor
disturbing Jier winter plans and
suggested that he come to Palm
Beach where ahe would make ar
rangements for him to see his son.
After her ' lawyer visited -her .(h
raim Beacn recently sne tele
graphed again stating that doctors
advised another climate for the
child.
Good Faith Doubted "
" "As my client believes that the
suggestion that he visit Palm
Beach was not made in good faith
and that it was intended thereby
only to turtner embarrass -and an
noy him and as he knows that his
child is in good health, he has
decided to seek the protection .of
the American courts and their de
cree that he need not depend upon
the favor of his wife and her ad
visers for the privilege of seeirig
his infant son and that he is en
titled as a matter of right to Bee
and visit his child at times and at
places suitable to himself."
