C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1922 RURAL AMERICA WILL DO IT . (By Richard Lloyd Jones) Law enforcement is more generally practiced and respected in rural districts and small towns than in the larger cities. All the great cities were, by a large majority, opposed to the elimina tion of the saloon. And yet it was the saloon in the large cities that did the most of the soul and body destroying business. Bad in any place the saloon was at its worst in the big towns. Yet the majority favored its retention and today register protest against pro hiiition. On the other hand, by a large majority, the shall towns and the rural districts favor the laws of decency. For this reason the smaller towns do not today experience, as do the larger cities, that which has been termed the crime wave. The committee on law enforcement of the American Bar Association, headed by Judge William D. Swaney, of Chattanooga, Tenn., has recom mended to the lawyers, of the land that a very drastic national law be en acted which will prohibit the promiscuous sale of firearms. 'T'his committee declares that the pistol serves no special purpose in the community today and that it should not he manufactured except so far as government and official needs may require under proper legal regula tion and control. The committee points out that there were nearly 10,000 unlawful homicides in this country last year and that burglaries have increased in the United States 1,200 per cent in the last ten years. The committee also maintains that deliberate murder, burglary and robbery will seldom be attempted unless the criminal is armed. It also points out that crime percentages in Europe are very much less, due to the fact that it is difficult for civilians to acquire firearms and the penalty is. severe for'earrying them. Our big cities are so busy with what they regard as the pressing busi ness of the hour, that they are less likely to weigh the moral worth of an issue than are thb smaller towns and 'rural districts. Therefore, the moral support of a righteous redress against a wrong social tendency comes from the less populated places. The big town men too often think they are the big idea builders. That is their big mistake. It is the small towns that both make and save the big towns. It is the small towns and the farmers of the land who put across the big ideas. Restriction of manufacture and sale and possession of pocket fire pieces must cone and it is rural America that will bring it. -- 00 THE HEN CALLS FOR HELP Finally the food profiteers have locked horns with a real opposition. 'They face the inexorable persistency of, the great American hen and pamie reigns. Some years ago the American hen gave warning that she might prove a dangerous enemy and bring about fair prices, but the shrewd profiteers countered, and when time hen laid in sufficient volume to feed the people the cold storage warehouse was conceived. I nstead of heing distributed at prices governed by the law of supply and demad, eggs were stored, kept fromh the people, and doled out at uni formly high prices. It a ppeiars. however. thIt the great American lien has been thinking. Thie result is she has again come to the front with a production so bewild ering that the cold storage plants cannot take care of it. Triue, in spite of this, eggs in New York are selling from 60 to 75 r'eni ts a dozen. Bi ut the hump is at. hanmd. If the lhen gets a little sup port frm ithle pumblic anmd a li ttle egg strike he started, the backbone of the pirice ex tort ion will be broken. it is all very well to store eggs, but whlen it conies to erecting more -id mor'e gr'eatI steel and concrete st ructur ies eqiuipped wi th thme ex pensii freezing plants to take care of them,-'then it may be thought better to sell ~.he piresent Istock at a fair price. Tlhere are no 3103,000,000) dozen eggs ini storage-more than three dozent for e'very pierson in the Uiited1 States. .\nd thet grea t Amrican hilen is still on the ,joh.

We wouldn't have steam heat to. day if our aboriginal ancestors) hadn't been frozen into moral ac tion. beeds should probably average more nearly from four and one-half to five per cent fat rather than four per cent, and we should not be satis fied to go on indefinitely with the cow that averages only two gallons for ten months. It is the cow that ex ceeds these figures that we will ob tain our greatest profits, but I wish to be conservative and will use the two gallon four per cent cow as a basis for my figures. By all means a pure bred bull of real producing an cestry should be used. In this way one can in a few years build up a high producing herd at a minimum cost. Next week the questions of feeds, pastures, management, etc., will be taken up. W. R. Gray, County Agent.
