People who live In the smaller towns
nml on farms have a great health ad
vantage over the city dwellers In that
they have ever an abundant supply of
fresh air and sunlight.
These two gifts of nature, so lavish
ly bestowed, are not always appreciat
ed to their fullest extent. They are
two of the strongest weapons against
the menace of tuberculosis, or con*
sumption, as it is sometimes called.
But consumption is not unknown la
the rural districts. The death rate is
sometimes as great in these sections as
in the more crowded localities, chiefly
because of carelessness or indifference
to laws of health.
Few, indeed, are the farm housed
or the homes in the smaller cities and
villages that cannot have an outdoor
sleeping porch. On the contrary, we
often find that the windows of sleep
ing rooms in the home are shut tight
in the mistaken belief IhU night aii

These are the years when* people
are most active, the years of their

an annual loss to the country of near

BUREAU CHANGES NAME
The Mount Clemens New
Bureau, which has been furnishing
reports on President Wilson’s tour i
in behalf of the League of Nations ;
to 5,500 papers, has adopted a new
name and will hertaf er be knowm
as The Independent News Bureau,
v-/
But Mr. Wilson, with clear logic and
with compelling eloquence, answered
to the entire satisfaction of Califor
nia’s people every objection which
Senator Johnson had made to the
League. And thousands of the state’s
citizens deserted the Johnson stand
ard immediately and rallied to the sup
port of the president. More than that,
they came forward and said, "We
were against you, Mr. President, but
you have cleared everything up and
now we are with yofl heart and soul."
Still more than that, they let Senator
Johnson know that they were no
longer with him and that they disap
proved of the speaking tour which lie
himself was making in opposition to
the League and so powerful was tho
volume of public opinion which reach
ed him, that the senator almost im
mediately abandoned his tour. The
Shan Tung question, because of the
untl Japanese feeling which undoubted
ly exists along the Pacific coast was’
the most serious which the president
had to answTer. He explained to the
people that he had been powerless to
prevent the rich peninsula from being
l iven to Japan. England and France,
through a secret treaty, had promised
it to Japan for entering tho war and
remaining In It. That treaty h*a to
1)0 carried out. Anyway it wa3 not
China that was losing Shan Tung, but
Germany, which had seized the terri
tory from China in 189S and held it
•ver since. Japan had promised, the
president explained, to return Shan
Tung as soon as the peace treaty was
ratified and it was only through the
ratification of the treaty with the
League of Nations inclusion, that
China could ever expect to get her
former property back. And she surely
would get it back, ho declared, through
the ratification of the Leaguo. There
fore, through the same instrumentality
no other nation could again prey upon
the “Great, patient, diligent, but help
less kingdom.” As to our being drawn
into any European conflict. The pres
ident pointed out that no direct action
such as the sending of troops to any
part of the world to maintain or re
store order could be taken by the
Council of the Leaguo without a unani
mous vote of the council members,
therefore our vote could at once nega
tive any such proposition as sending
our soldiers where we did not want
them sent. Besides, Mr. Wilson argued,
“If you have to quench a fire in Cali
fornia you don’t send for the fire de
partment of Utah.” But, he argued,
there probably never will be another
war, if tho League is established, for
the members promise either to arbi
trate their difference and accept the
decision of the arbitrator, lay the dif
ferences for discussion and publica
tion before the Council of the League
for a period of six months, and then,
If possible, accept the council’s advice.
That failing, they agree to refrain from
war for a further period of three
months and nine months of cooling
off,” the president contended, would
prevent any armed conflict. These clear
explanations satisfied every reasonable
hearer and destroyed the "Bugaboos”
which Benator Johnson and others had
raised against the League. Through
rugged Nevada into Utah, the land of
Mormons, the president swept to find
that those fine people were heartily
with him for tho League and a per
manency of peace. 1
STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT
OF THE FARMERS’ UNION
As president of the State Farm
ers’ Union and a former member of
the ‘Information Committee on Cotton
Seed and Seed Products" I feel that I
should make a public statement for
the benefit of the farmers of the
State and the public. I contended
from the very start, and Mr. Jim G.
F'erguson, Commissioner of Agricul
ture, agreed with me that the com
mittee could not and would not con
sent to being used to bear down the
price of cotton seed. I believe there
is some fores holding down the price
of cotton seed against the law of
supply and demand. Acting upon this
as my premises 1 firmly believe today
the producer should be getting $80.00
per ton for his seed, and Mr. Fergu
son agrees with me.
I believe it is wrong to figure from
the top down, and when the producer
is reached leave him out of the con
sideration. If everything above must
have a big and fixed profit, I believe
the producer should have first con
sideration and first profit. I am
going to contend for this all the way
through.
GEO. L. SANDS,
President State Farmers’ Union.
