fThe total value of all farm property is about seventy-eight billion dollars. "The country may do without the city, but can the city do without the country? "The prosperity of the country is dependent upon the prosperity ef the farmer. In the -U. S. government the Department of Agriculture has taken up a wide range of activities important to the health and prosperity of all classes of people.

Our State Department of Agriculture has six co-operating bureaus centering in an administrative office responsible to the Governor. "Tioga county is classed among the dairy counties of the state. To really enjoy life on a farm one must be a lover of nature. In conclusion may I quote from 'Adventures in by David Grayson: 'And it has been a growing marvel to me, the divers and unexpected crops I have produced within these uneven acres of earth. With sweat I planted the corn, and I have here a crop not only of corn, but of happiness and hope.

Adjourned Meeting Held at Public Rest Rooms Last Thursday Evening. An adjourned meeting of the Wellsboro Chamber of Commerce was held in the public rest rooms last Thursday evening, the chairman, Judge S. F. presiding. The following letter addressed to the Wellsboro Chamber of Commerce was read: "A few weeks ago when the National Soldiers' Adjusted Compensation BilL was before Congress the National Chamber of Commerce made very, active opposition to this bill.

Together with the opposition of the President and the Secretary of Treasury they put such obstacles in the way that the passage of the bill has been indefinitely postponed. The attitude of the National Chamber of Commerce is not, we believe, the attitude of the vast majority of the Chambers of Commerce throughout the country. We do not believe that the people of Wellsboro or the business men of Wellsboro are in sympathy or accord with such attitude, "We call upon you at this time asking you to repudiate in such public way as you deem fit" the stand that the National Chamber of Commerce has taken. Very truly yours, W. Earle Champaign No.

84, The American Legion, Geo. 0. Gee, Post Adjutant." The following resolution was unanimously approved: "Whereas, the National Chamber of Commerce has taken a definite stand in opposition to the Soldiers' Adjusted Compensation Bill now pending in Congress, and whereas, the action of the National Chamber of Commerce is not in keeping with any action taken by this Chamber, the question never having been acted upon by this Chamber, therefore, be "Resolved, that the Chamber of Commerce of the Borough of Wellsboro is not in sympathy with the action of -the National Chamber of Commerce, and is in favor of paying a reasonable adjusted compensation to the soldiers, sailors and marines of the world war, and believes the Schedule of payments as laid down in the bill now pending in Congress, sponsored by the American Legion, is a-reasonable and just schedule of compensation. "And be it further resolved, that this action be reported by copies of this resolution to the local news- pars; copies to our Senators and Representatives in Congress; copies to the President of the United States, and to the Secretary of the Treasury, and to the National Chamber of Commerce." It was voted that representatives of the Wellsboro Chamber of Commerce call on the merchants to inform them that Chainberaf Commerce felt that it was fitting and proper for the stores to be closed on Armistice Day.

ARMISTICE DAY, 1921. Miss Kate Gee, a Wellsboro Girl, Describes Ceremonies in Washington Last Friday. Washington, D. Nov. mother: Well I saw everything from the'first machine gun to the last light.

I doubt if I can tell you about it I saw so much all in one day and, it was all so impressive, I don't know if I really saw it or dreamed it. To begin at the beginning, on Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock the Olyrapia (Admiral Dewey's ship at Manila) steamed up the Potomac with the body of the unknown hero. It was raining and dismal, but hundreds turned out to pay tribute to the unknown. There was no cheering or noise. Everything was perfectly still while the cannon of Fort Washington boomed out the national salute, 21 shots fired one minute The ceremonies at the dock were very brief.

An awning held the rain off the casket while five sailors and marines as a guard of honor stood at each corner. On the dock a regiment of cavalry and a black draped caisson drawn by six black horses waited to tnke the body to the capitol. Secretaries of the Navy and War, and General Pershing, paid the first official tribute to the body. On deck the bugles called attention and as the casket was carried down the gangway the ship's band played Chopin's Funeral March, and the ship's guns again gave the salute. It certainly was a sight to behold.

Every soldier, sailor and marine at attention and the civilians with heads bared. And then they broke out with the "Star Spangled Banner." As the caisson moved off they played "Onward Christian Soldiers." The body was then taken to the capitol and placed in the center of the rotunda. You remember, the large room you can look down into from the top. Wreathes were placed on the casket by President and Mrs. Harding, Secretary of War Weeks of the Navy Denby.

All with great ceremony. I wentyto the capitol about four o'clock on Thursday to see the flowers. You couldn't picture, by the wildest stretch of the imagination, all those wonderful flowers. That immense room was filled. There were truck loads outside that couldn't be placed in the room.

There was one from every state in the Union, from every country hi the world, represented in the conference, besides the organizations, that is, Masons, Knights of Columbus, D. A. etc, and a great many private individuals. The line waiting to view them was four blocks long, four abreast, and it had been just that long since eight o'clock in the morning. At night it about twice as long as that.

Every avenue to the capitol was J5 by Amounted, polfee. The casket was gaardexf till -ASte- time, night and day, by soldiers. Not one sound broke the stillness, except an occaional sob from some mother whose son had not come back, and there was a chance that that coffin held the remains of her son. It was awful. You don't dare cry, everything was so still, but when you looked at some of those old gray haired mothers you could hardly keep from it.

band played the dead march. No one minded the cold. I was nearly par- alized myself, but I didn't know until afterward. We didn't go to Arlington; there was no use. Cars weren't allowed inside the gates, and even if we walked we couldn't get inside the amphitheater.

You had to have a ticket from a senator, and as had only two you can imagine' getting one. And then last but not least was the lights. At Potomac Park near the monument they erected two jeweled pillars. Very similar to the Washington monument, only much smaller. They were set with jewels of all kinds.

Around the bottom, one at each corner of the pillars, there were large receptacles in which they burned incense. Connecting the two pillars is a jeweled arch, too beautiful to describe, made of various kinds of jewels, imitation, I suppose, but giving a marvelous effect. Just at 8 p. m. they turned searchlights 'on this arch.

Sixty-three million candle power was played on it. First in white, then red, white and blue, then in all the colors of the spectrum. You could see it at a great distance. Different colored lights were played on the monument, capitol, congressional etc. In fact, the city was a blaze of colored lights.

I had gotten up at six-thirty and been doing something all day, so you can imagine by that time I was getting tired. Even blazing jewels failed to arouse the proper amount of enthusiasm. So we battled our way out of the crowd, and sure it was battling and no mistake. When I got home I- was so tired couldn't tell Lida about it. She is sick in bed with tonsilitis and missed it all.

It was wonderful, all of it, but when you stop to consider it, it seems shame to spend much money honoring the dead when a great many ex- service men don't have enough to eat. The Walter Reed Hospital boys could have used that money to good advantage. Now that the nation has honored and buried the dead, we will see what it will doior the living. --Love, KATE. new members this past vear.

Stress was laid on the fact that we Mrs. R. E. Sherman, of Galeton, returned home Friday, after visiting friends and relatives here. Erwin Sherman fell last Friday and broke his right arm.

He was taken to Wellsboro. where Dr. Shaw attended him. Mr. and Mrs.

Russell Lawton had a narrow escape Saturday night as he was returning home from Wellsboro. As he was going up a steep grade at his home the car stalled and the brakes failed to work and the car backed into the side -of the house, damaging the car badly. Mr. Lawton escaped with minor bruises. ance.

One woman in particular. She didn't look so old, but her hair was white. She had waited in line two hours to get into the capitol and when she was exactly in front of the casket she said, "My boy did not come back." She knelt by the cas ket and sang "Nearer, My God to Thee," very softly to herself. All alone. No one hurried her.

The line was held while she paid the only tribute she could to what" might be her son, who hadn't come back. If everyone could know the sorrow expressed by that lonely woman I don't think we would need conferences to stop war. Armistice day was beautiful, cold and crisp but clear. The parade left the capitol at eight-thirty. This was the schedule for the day: 8:00, the parade formed at the capitol; 8:30, the cortege left the capitol; 11:16, arrived in Arlington cemetery; 11:55, prayer by the chaplain; silent prayer for the soldiers; 12:02, address by the President Exactly at eight-thirty the parade left the capitol.

All during the service gun's saluted. We had a wonderful view of the avenue. We were near enough to have spoken to the President (of course we didn't). First came the police escort; then the commanding officer, Brig. Gen.

Bandholtz, and his staff; the Third Cavalry, followed by the Third Battalion, 64th U. S. Infantry; Third Field Artillery, second squadron of Third Cavalry; the clergy, and then the caisson. It was in the center of the street. At each side were the body bearers, and at each side of them the honorary pall bearers.

Following the caisson was President Harding and General Pershing, with their aides, Admiral Coontz and GETTING BACK TO NORMALCY. High Wages Cause of Idle Men Says a Local Farmer. Ever since the war we have been trying to adjust ourselves to a peacetime basis and nearly all have suffered more or less from this readjustment, but we must all take the same course back to less and" work morfe. The reason there are -so many jnen in the country is not beca they cannot get work, but beca 1 they cannot get J-, longer. This not only helps to up industry, but it also, helps to sweH the army of idle raefc The public fn no longed bear tbe high prices of and high freight charges.

They have refused to buy and business must stop until labor will take a reasonable wage, so that the manufacturer can meet competition and public demands. Business has always been the great feature upon which nations are built and thrive in our onward' march ol civilization. Business can lead and conquer the world without staining its hands in human blood. Without business and business men our country would soon degenerate and barbarism would result as it has in Russia and other parts of the world. In Germany "today there are very few idle men, the country is thrifty and the people work early and late and industry is gaining every day and while she failed in her military conquest she will win an economic victory over the world unless the world can throw off the yoke of high prices and high labor and offer its people something just as good and just as cheap as Germany.

The- longer labor holds out in its demands, the worse it will be for them. Capital connot dp business at a profit and it is turning to other lines of investment, where it employs no labor and pays no taxes This makes higher taxes and higher rents and less demand for laborers We can never restore our business equilibrium until manufactured goods and labor correspond with agriculture. The farmers are the largesi consumers of manufactured goods in the world and they also employ ar much labor as any other industry Let down the bars of high wages high prices and high freight rates so the farmer and consumer can get 100 cents for his dollar and he will buy more than he ever has before. Labor, as most other products must be controlled by the law of sup ply and demand. Labor cannot pros per on a sick market no more than the farmers or other industries There must be a demand for their a Farmer.

MORE ARTICLES ARE NEEDED Loan Closet Still Lacks Many Things--Work of Our Community Nurse. The first month of the Community Nursing Service closed Nov. 10 and the Advisory Board is gratified With the developments of the work. During this time Miss Jones reports having made 30 nursing visits and 20 instructive visits. Of those needing actual bedside care, two were men, five were women and two were children.

Of these, seven were medical cases, while two were surgical cases. Eleven grades of the school were visited. Four children were referred to their family physician for various reasons. Two cases of communicable disease were excluded from school and reported to the health officer. Total receipts turned in to the treasurer, Jos.

H. Williams, by the nurse, $10.50. A question has arisen in the minds of some persons as to who is entitled to call for the nursing service. The association wishes that any citizen of Wellsboro in need of this service will make use of it, be he a member of the organization or not. Nursing service will be rendered free to those who are unable to pay for it.

Because of this humanitarian service, the nurse was able last week to give care to "a stranger within our gates." The Farmers' Telephone has been installed in Miss Jones' office in the borough building and also in her home. Rev. and Mrs. R. Evans have kindly tendered shelter to Miss Jones in the Presbyterian manse.

When in need of the nurse's services, call if possible during office hours, which are from 1 to 2 o'clock every week day except Thursday, Mrs. Lida Y. Niles, chairman of the relief committee, wishes to report very satisfactory returns from the appeal for supplies with which to stock the "Loan Closet." Some of the following articles, the receipt of which she wishes here to acknowledge, were received the same day the request was released through the lapers.
