I Hmh Lights of First Half Year
of Harding's Administra
tive Agencies.
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.
Reorganization of prohibition en
forcement unit preparatory to en
forcing Constitution and federal
laws. Reorganization, fumigation
and houe-cleaning in .Shipping
Board.

American Rights Asserted
Foreign affairs: reassertion of

fields where, in many cases, they had
long been ignored or denied. Reaf

icy of the "open door" in China. Re
newal of vigorous foreign policy in
every quarter of the globe, guaran
teeing to America that respect and
consideration to which she is prop
erly entitled and to her citizens pro
tection for themselves and their prop
erty and treatment on an equality
with that accorded citizens of any
other nation in the world. Prevent
ed war between Panama and Costa

in the Panama Canal Zone. Pre
vented a political revolution in Cuba
which might have overthrown the
government and undone years of
constructive work in that island.

the settlement of the Yap Island is

Representative government r e -stored:
democratic practices and hos
pitality in the White House have
been re-established; proper and
friendly relations between legislative
and executive branches of the gov
ernment have been resumed by the
President's counseling with the Sen
ate in matters of foreign policy and
ro-onerating with the Congress, u
a whole, instead of trying to coerce
it. in the consideration of public af
fairs. "One man government" has
eiven way to almost daily confer
ences between the President and
leaders in all lines of production and
business.

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

A FASHIONABLE DITTY.
What has become of the stove-pipe
hat, that flourished in days agone?
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.
"I'se sho' glad to hear yo' say dat,"

pleased dat yo' think so much of de
ministers. So yo.' think we'd ought
to get bigger salaries?"
"Sho' I does," said the old man.
"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.
