Bv FRANK JENKINS.
FARMERS, you have been reading In
the papers, have gone on a mar
keting strike back In o'ome of the
Middle Western states In an effort to
push up prlcea of their products.
If you have been reading the papers
carefully, you will have noted that
the newa la being made by the farmers

la so say, the non-atrlklng farmers
are taking their products to market
at present prices, and the clashes that
occur when the striking farmers
undertake to stop them are what
make the news that la getting onto
the front page.
THIS writer, who believes that farm
prices are too low iand would like
to see them much higher, DOESN'T
believe that much progress will be
made In thai direction by this "strike"
back In the Middle West.
YOU have heard, probably, of the
"cracking" process of refining pe
troleum. It is a process that results
In getting a larger percentage of gaso
line from the crude oil.
It was developed by a young aclen
tlst back In the days when gasoline
was scarce. There WAS such a time,
you know. Gasoline waa so scarce one
summer that we had to scratch
around pretty lively to get a tanktul
of It when we wanted to take a week
end trip.
aiow here la an Interesting thing:
IN This cracked gasoline ahowed a
tendency, to spoil when exposed to
the air, Just as food apolla under
ilmllar circumstances, and this ten
Hnov mused the refiners a lot of
trouble and expense.
So the aelenttatsi-went tororK on
the problem, and we read In the
pipers this week that one of them
baa discovered a method of prevent
lng this spoilage. . '
(l ASOLINE was scarce, and BRAIN8
, V remedied the scarcity by develop.
lng the cracking process of refining
and thua getting more gasoline out
of the crude oil. This cracked gaso
line spoils readily, and again BRAINS
come to, the rescue and find a .way
to stop the spoilage.
Here la the moral.
Whatever our problems may be,
tome BRAIN that la good enough can
find the solution for them. Our big
Job is to 'develop brains that are good
enough to find the way out of our
troubles.
A CCORDINO to 'senator Huey P.
J Long, of Louisiana, one of our
troubles lies In the fact that the rich
apend too much money on bathrooms
and bathtubs.
There ought to be a law against
It, he says; although he doesn't tell
us how fewer bathrooma and fewer
bathtub fixtures would create more
Jobs for people who want to work.
Most of us have been under the Im
presslon that the more bathtubs and
bathrooms and bathroom fixtures are
used the more employment there will
be for those who make these things,
Perbsps we have been all wrong,
. The Rood senator should enlighten
us more fully.
ASA MATTER OF FACT, laws actu-
" ally were passed PROHIBITING
bathtubs back In the days when these
modern conveniences were first com
ing Into use.
Those whose business It was to
make the lawa thought' they knew
about everything there was to know.
and they were quite certain that fancy

take a bath every day, instead of only
on Saturday nights, would be dlaas.

So they rushed into the breach
with a law.
fPHAT Ideal appeals to us now as ex.

risively at the thought that too many
baths can deatroy health.
But dorj't forget that along about
that time night air waa regarded as
little short of poisonous, and people
