Washington, Sept. 19, 1921. The HarJirtg Administration has been in power six months. Some of the principal achievements of the executive branch of the government during that short period are: Peace: a separate treaty has been negotiated with Germany and now is before the Senate for ratifi cation. Reduction of armaments: an in ternational conference has been called by President Harding to dis cuss limitation of armaments and the amicable solution of Far F.astern problems which must be peacefully solved as a necessary antecedent to any reduction of armaments. Lfss Expense: Better Service. .More business in government: a radical reduction of expenditures in all departments: introduction of hus-iness-like methods and procedure which make for public economy on the one hand and increase quality of public service on the other. Work on reorganization of executive agen cies, whereby still greater effciency and still greater economy wil be se cured, is nearing completion and presentation to Congress. A drive to collect millions of unpaid federal taxes uncollected under previous ad ministration. Disposition of thous ands of unsettled claims against the government left over by previous ad ministrations and saving of millions in their settlement. Clearing up of tremendous amount of accumulated work in various departments which previous administration had left undone;- ir some bureaus work was from one to two years in arrears.

For particulars and terms nee Mis. Henry Johnson. lmo. Washington, Sept. 19. A very important Congressional committtee about which the public has heard but little up to date, is the Special Joint Congressional Agriculttural Commis sion, appointed by this Congress to investigate agricultural conditions and report to this session. Its mem bers are Representative Sidney An-kiersii-i, Minn., chairman; Senators Lenroot, Wisconsin; Capper, Kansas; McNary, Oregon; Robinson, Arkan sas; Harrison, Mississippi; Represen tatives J. Ogden Mills, New York Frank Funk, Illinois; H. W. Sum- ners, Texas; P. G. Ten Eyck, New York. The personnel of this commn tee was selected with great care from the double standpoint of first, those who have shown more than usual in terest in agricultural affairs and are representative of the agricultural in terests in the various sections of the country, and second, of their willing ness to put in hard, conscientious work on the committee. Has Kept on the Job This committee has been doing some of the hardest work that is be ing done by any committee of Con gress. The reason there has not been much publicity regarding its activ ities is probably due to the fact that it has not been holding public hear ings. There have been hearings without end upon all sorts of agri cultural problems during the last few years in connection with packers legislation, legislation affectitng freight rates, grain exchanges, farm tenantry, Farm Loan Banks, storage and warehousing, marketing, etc. In addition to information collected up on all of these and many other sub jects by Congressional inquiries, the various Federal bureaus and agencies touching these and other farm prob lems are constantly collecting data, and numerous organizations of ship pers and farmers, as well as organi zations dealing in all sorts of re search work, have accumulated a vast amount of concrete information. All Agencies Asked to Help The committee decided to take all of the information thus collected and endeavor to correlate it and digest it, calling in experts, whenever neces 'sary, to assist, rather than holding public hearings to go over all the ground again. In conformity with this decision it has called upon every government bureau touching upon agricultural activities to assign ex perts to assist the committee in an alyzing data on hand. In addition to the federal departments it has called upon such agencies as the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Fed eral Trade Commission. Going out side of the federal agencies, it has called upon the railroads to furnish it with certain information and in or der to check up the information fur nished by the railroads it has called upon some thirty odd organizations of shippers to supply it with certain HOME SWEET HOME I DONT SEE WHY I I GOTTA GO TO SCHOOL ANVWAV !

On the Fourth of July, or days like that, we ginerally had one on. And, there ain't no doubt that it done its part, as only a stove-pipe can, to fas ten the triumph of ancient art on the principal end of man! And what has become of the long- tailed coat, with its sperit of digni tudc? Has it went the way of the Granger vote, or gone with the babes in the wood? Has it drifted away, with its crinkle and flop, to the val ley of no-nians-place? Does it mean that the price at a tailor shop has es tablished a change of base? And, what has went with the flow in' beard, and the reverence which it helt? There ain't no objections that ever I heard, to a dignified, whiskery pelt! When the ugliest face in this fair land, can furnish its own dis guise, a feller may bow to fashion's demand, but, honestly, is it wise? specified data. Study Four Big Subjects It has divided its work into four general subjects: credits, transporta tion, markets and production and con sumption, which latter subject in cludes the study of exports and prices. In its study of transportation it has taken freight rates and their relation to the prices of agricultural products, first, at the initial point of shipment; second, at terminal points; third, in connection with retail prices. The subject of production and con sumption is being traced from 1890, with special emphasis placed upon the period from July 1st, 1919, to July 1st, 1921, which covers the peak of prices for agricultural products for the last decade or more. The work on credits has been prosecuted in co operation with various farm organiza tions which have made a study of the subject and with the Farm Loan Bank and Federal Reserve System. Marketing Problem Difficult The committee is finding the study of the market situation its most dif ficult task, because of the lack of any definite data of a genera! character. Most all data upon the subject is lo cal, and local conditions vary so much it is unfair and unsafe to at tempt to draw any general conclu sions or make any recommendations for the country at large from local ized information. The committee feels, however, that when it has com pleted its work and made its report, it will have given to the Congress and to the country at large, informa tion regarding agricultural conditions which will be more definite and con structive, as well as -more compre hensive, than has yet been made by any public investigating body. SMILE AWHILE Pat and Mike were serving in the same company in the first line tren ches. They were detailed to a scout ing party in no-man's land, and were told by their captain that they were to bring in all the German prisoners they could, and that they would be paid a shilling apiece for each pris oner. The two became separated from the rest of their detail, and were tak ing turns watching for Germans from a shell hole, while one of them slept. Suddenly Mike, who was on watch, shook Pat, and said, "Wake up, Pat. The Germans are coming." "How many?" inquired Pat. "Fifty thousand," said Mike. "Begorrah," says Pat, "our for tune's made." Unexpected Answer. A colored preacher in Alabama was one day talking to one of his aged parishoners, who ventured to express the opinion that ministers ought to be better paid.

"Den we'd get a better class o' men." Worth While. A little boy stood at his garden gate and howled and howled and howled. A passing lady paused be side him. "Whats the matter, little man?" she asked. "O-o-oh!" he wailed. "Pa and ma won't take me to the movies." "But don't make so much noise. Do they ever take you when you cry like that?" "S-s-sometimes they d-do and sometimes they d-don't," wept the lad, "but it ain't no trouble to yell." Politeness. Dickie's father was shocked to see his son kick his little playmate. "Why did you kick John?" he ask ed, severely. "I am tired of playing with him. I want him to go home," was Dickie's answer. "Then why didn't you ask him to go home?" "Oh" it was Dickie's turn to be shocked "why, daddy, that would not be polite!" Harper's Magazine. FOH SAl.K lfl3Al A 10-20 Bull tractor. See a BO. MEAD, Lexington. 81p.
