for them. If they don’t want to pay

they don’t know how to avoid the ticks
and every thinking American* should
turn out and support the cattle against
the pesky bootleggers.

I When returns exceed Hite percentage,

ers by increasing their cost of opera-
tion to delay the return of prosper-

should suffer decreased returns in
times of stress without complaining.
Agriculture certainly is a legitimate
industry. It Is also of prime necessi-
ty. Agriculture hus not paid divi-

good if their crops this year would
pay the interest on what they owe,

To increase the burden of the farm-

Northwest China is suffering severe-
ly from rebellions, banditry and fam-
ine. Its populations is decimated and
plagues are taking their toll. To make
matters worse, the Yangtse River Is
in heavy flood, extending destruction
eastward, and there is much added
suffering in Northwest China and now
in Northern China Itself.
