Were it not for the pub licity complex, we could stage an interesting debate on the farm problem. Sometime ago we wrote about a farmer near here who served such excellent green corn, and claimed he had made money on his "model" farm the past three yesw. He dismissed the prevailing farmers' lament as so much applesauce ; declared farmers as a class are better off than any other, and cited his com. plete penury as a pump manu facturer, and his comparative prosperity as a farmer, as proof of the assertion. "We remarked at the time there must be a "catch" in it, but didn't know just where, for the agriculturist in question, offered to produce his books as evidence, end in the dinner table conversation, seemed to welcome the idea of any dirt farmer-having the crust to dis pute him. This story proved to be "too much" for Mr. and Mrs. Carl von dcr Hcllen of Wcllen, and the latter (who recently had her experiences as a farmer's wife published in the ladies' Home Journal), sent us an interesting and vigorous pro test, closing as follows : "Here's to your friend. He Is farming as we - have always dreamed of farming. It must be rem sport to farm for fun and not have to worry yourself sick which will mature first the lit ter of pigs or the note at the bank! I trust now you can see the "catch " Scenting a thrilling debate between Elkhorn, Wisconsin and Wellen, Oregon, we came up here and handed over Mrs. von der Hellen's letter to the businessman-farmer, asking that he allow us to use his name, and thereby give his counter attack validity. "Not on your life I" ejnc'u- lated our farmer friend. "I have enough trouble with the people around here as it is. They would call me a liar in a hundred different languages, and the looal grange would probably burn me in effigy. For I am known as a white collar farmer in contrast to a dirt farmer, a slick city feller, who clips coupons and calls them farm profits. I have a few good farmer friends but not many. It's really n com bination of envy and enmity class enmity and I have enough troubles without get ting in the newspapers and throwing oil on tho flames. But I could answer your Oregon friend if I wanted to, and con vince her with my books. "She says I am 'FARMING FOR FUN!" "That's juftt what I am NOT doing I I am farming for a profit and making it. I admit it, takes money. I admit this farm and its equipment is a large factor in my success, but more important I am doing the work myself with the aid of my family each of us has a job we are operating on a business basil, and counting in the in terest on my money, and in spite of the present low prices, I am not only making a living but I am putting cash in the bank every Fall, "I admitted before, I wasn't making much money, I ques tioned whether or not I could do it, with large interest charges to pay (in fact I know I couldn't) but what I did say and what I repeat, and what I know to be true for I have the figures to prove it, is, "Any man with a good, well equipped farm like this today is better off, financially, than any average business or profes sional man, and under present conditions I would rather have this farm, than the pump fac tory that represent one hun dred times as much money, and at one .time paid nie at least ten times as much profit. And I also know this, this same farm, when higher prices pre vailed, run by a dirt farmer, under my direction, not only never made me a dime, but cost me several hundred, some times several thousand dollars a year. "And running it myself and doing my own work, it is a rnn ning and a paying proposition. "There's another thing. I get a premium for my milk and my eggs the first certified, the second sold to high class Chicago trade. I have a per fectly coordinated business, each department helps the other. I have a dairy herd, I have chickens white Rocks mostly I have pigs. I raise my own vegetables, I cure my own bacons and hams, my gro cery and meat bills a month are less than my bills for to bacco and cigarets. Then we haven't had to buy any clothes, pay any club dues, and the children have gone to a coun try school a very good one, too, by the way. "My whole point is this! I am sick and tired of listening to these farmers around here squawk. They are never satis fied. If prices are high they have a short crop ; if prices are low they can't make expenses; if it doesn't rain they are going to be dried out j if it DOES rain they are going to be flooded out; they are never satisfied, WHATEVER IS, IS WRONG. It's all a lot of hooey. I know, for I am a farmer my self, not as a side line but as my only line, not farming for fun but to make my living. And I am doing it. And I maintain any man with a good farm, good health, good sense, and not afraid of manual work can do it too. You can't do it as a landlord or as a tenant farmer; you can't do it with a big debt around your neck, and you can't make any big money, under any circumstances, but you can make a living, and a good one, bring up a faniilyi and enjoy life. I know for 1 have done it I And I tell you that's a lot under present con ditions." Such an argument without identification, we admit, is not worth much. It's easy to argue anonymously, and Mr. B- refuses to argue any other way. As an impartial judge we would say, our farmer friend and Mrs. von der Hcllen are both right. That is to soy we don't ques tion Mr. B has done just what he claims to have done. He is a good business man and a hard worker. But it is fairly obvi ous he has enjoyed advantages which farmers as a rule do not enjoy. Most, of them are in debt and must operate on borrowed cap ital, few of them have a farm equipped with every labor sav ing device, close to such a high market as Chicago, With ma tured business experience and some knowledge of practical farm work, he started with a going concern, which required no money for improvements and equipment purchases. So we can't regard his experience as typical. At the sanfe time we believe there is something to say for his argument that a man with a good farm, in this rich and thickly populated country, is far better off, under present economia conditions, than thou sands of business and profes sional men. And we also be lieve he is an exception, in the fact that he admits his good fortuue and appreciates it. R. W. R. Three tier body fir, 5JS. Quality and measure guaranteed. Med. Fuel Cos, Tel. til.

One Lived Long, One Died, A Governor's Power, Copyright King Pestures Synd., Ine. Forty-three scientific expedi tions are ready to view today's eclipse. The weather bureau predicts clouds, but that won't spoil the eclipse. Night will come on gradually. Some that "know all about it" will be worried, and "feel queer." Chickens will go to roost. Mr. Vernon Bailey, on behalf of Department of Agriculture, will study them and other ani mals in New Hampshire watch ing especially for signs of fear. Fear of what we call "super natural" events, brings the animals close to human nature. The area of total eclipse will be a belt of shadow 100 miles wide. To thwart the weather man, thirty aviators at various points along the shadow belt will stand ready to carry scien tists nbove the clouds. Hundreds of thousands have been spent that scientists may take obser vations during the ninety seconds that the eclipse will last. Our old Father the Sun, moving through space, shedding light and power In the form of broken down atoms, losing actual .weight two hun dred and fifty million tons every minute, and able to continue that loss for tens of millions of years lon ger, will sail on in his majestic course dragging our earth and the other planets with him, in blissful Ignor ance of our "Important eclipse." This Is unusual. The Reverend Harold Francis Davidson, of London, convicted In a British court of "Im morality," says he will come here, bringing one or two young ladles In the case with him, "to raise money for his appeal" from the decision con demning him. You need not wonder at the rever end gentleman's decision. He prob ably said to himself: "Americans gave ten billions of dollars, wl'.hout much hope of getting It back, to nations engaged In murdering each other. They surely would give a few thou sands to a British clergyman convict ed of demoralizing young girls." . We know that the reverend gentle man Is mistaken, but -you can't ex pect him to know. ' Those Americans are so queer." M One above the other on a front page you read two news Items. First, "A gray haired man sat on a bench In Prospect Park, Brooklyn, to day and shot and killed himself." He had twenty-aiwcn cents concealed In the band of his hat and left a note asking to be "dropped Into deep water." He dropped into deep water when he pulled the trigger. Second, you read, "Spaniard dies at 108.'' Fellp Juare Valle Esptnoso had seven children, fifty grandsons, sixty one great grandsons. If babies did not die, how soon he world would be over-populated. Why do some of us hanj on to life grimly, urglnj death to etay away, while others be:kon death to come? O rent Is the power of New York state's governor. Not all governors have realized It. Justice Staley of New York's supreme court, refusing to enjoin Governor Roosevelt from Interfering with Mayor Walker, says the courts hsve no power over the governor, or of his person. For errors, if any, of law or fact .or deed, the governor Is respon sible not to the courts, but to his own conscience. The governor of New York and other states, like the president of the United states, could do almost any thing. But they, and all of us, are controlled by publls opinion. ee New York wonders, and London says It wonders why Montagu Nor man, governor of the Bank of Eng land, has returned to New York and Washington. There s no cause for wonder, when you see a tmer. tin psll In hand, approacN- cow, you do not won der why ! . . it to the barnyard. Britain worries about the strike of textile workers, ninety per cent of them, with possibility of a strike so great as to alfllct ten million people. Lincoln said no country could live "half slave and half free." Britain discovers that It Is troublesome to have a country halt labor and halt capitalism.

THE ECONOMY OP AM Within the past ten years progres sive physicians have developed satis factory technlo for the smbulant treatment of sev e r a 1 conditions which formerly required h o s p I t a 1 1 z atlon and confinement to bed for periods of days or weeks. By ambulant treat ment we mean treatment which la successfully .employed while tue patient keeps at his ordinary work or activities. First came the injection or chemical obliteration of varicose veins. Then the diathermy extirpation of Infect ed tonsils. Then the Injection treat ment of Internal hemorrhoids. Then the injection treatment of hernia. It Is only fair and right to say that, in competent hands, every one of these modern methods is giving at least as satisfactory results as the older ' standard surgical treatment gives In competent hands. I think the risks involved are rather less In ambulant treatment than they are In the older methods of operating. So far as I can learn, the prospect of recurrence or of failure to cure or give lasting relief Is no greater when amublant treatment Is selected than It Is when the standard operation -a done. Some physicians of good standing and repute still disapprove, condemn or advise patients against having am bulant treatment, mainly, I fear, be cause these good physicians have not had an opportunity to see such treat ment applied by a man who has made a proper study of the method and received adequate clinical Instruction In the technic. I know this is the basis of the unfavorable view taken by some throat surgeons of the dia thermy method for tonsils. From the character of inquiries I have received from clinical surgeons In reference to the smbulant treatment of hernia I know they, too, base their preju dice upon their Ignorance of the sci entific principles of such treatment. The Injection treatment of hernia has been most bitterly condemned by well meaning but nevertheless Ignorant surgeons Ignorant of this modern method. Here and there these sur geons, are seelrig the light and even getting down off the high horse and seeking clinical Instruction In the ambulant method from colleagues who have mastered the technic. Many throat surgeons now advocate the use of the diathermy method for cleaning up tags of tonsil tissue left in the throat after the radical ton sllectomy somehow they prefer '.o fall back, on the diathermy method rather than break the news to the , patient that he mnt undergo an forests, succeeded In excavating and moving It. Today men are struggling to har ness the tides, to harness the sun, and trying to refrain from murdering each other In war, Man, now and In the future, will succeed with his problems as those ancient Bolivians did. Struggle Is born In us, and vic tory la stored away In ambition. L OPENI THURSDAY EVEN! (Continued from Page One) at the city playground.

X may be dumb, illogical and blind to all the amen ities, but It does seem to me that If the diathermy method Is sll right fcr removing what the guillotine and snare leaves behind, it ought to be the choice In the first place. Insurance carriers find that a her nia case, treated by the standard operation, costs around 1400 hos pital expense, doctors' fees and com pensation for eight weeks disability. The ambulant treatment pan he aiven for less than halt that cbtal cost no hospital charges to pay, no loss of time for the patient. Some large In. dustrlal corporations are beginning to take an Interest in this, arid phy sicians and surgeons Investigatingthe metnod ror such corporations are con strained to report that it does effect cure of the hernia. In the clrcum stances It beehooves the profession to keep an open mind which la some. thing our would-be medical leaders too often lack.
