I mean that literally. No longer we successfully put up state bars or county bars, or even community bars, to keep out illness or infection.

Washington Secretary Mellon reported Friday a government surplus of 1377,767,815 for the fiscal year JuBt ' closed. A record collection of customs totaling 1679,430,092 as well as a heavy income tax yield, amounting to $1,982, 040,088 swelled the treasury fund far beyond the needs of the government.. The 390,000,000 surplus recently forecast by Fresldent Coolldge for the year which ended Thursday, failed to materialize, however, as a result of last minute disbursements to meet a postofllce department deficit and tax refunds. At that It was mare than three times the total estimated by administration officials in February.

Both the louse and senate struggled along slow-- y during the day to clear their calendars of pressing business, and continued their sessions into the night In an effort to ward off the usual preadjournment jam.

There is grave danger of repeated food famines in the future unless steps are now taken to make agriculture more scientific and productive. The year 1921 was a better year for the farmer than any of the preceding four years. Yet, after a wage allowance of less than common labor receives in other industries, his net return upon capital was 3.6 per cent, without deduction for depreciation of machinery or depletion of the soil. It is clear that the great agricultural plant of America has been running down st a dangerous pace. Of course, this affects the farmer, but it involves the very life of the nation as well. If the farmer does not receive an adequate price he cannot go on producing indefinitely. The farm population was reduced by almost half a million during the last year. This trend cannot go on long until there is A shortage of food. , "Misfit Children Direct Contradiction of Great Scheme of Nature By WILLIAM McAKDREW, Sup Ne wo Notes;: mm Vnt Chicago Schools.
