Farmers' Distress Caused by French Destructive Policy
John Ise Traces Economic Bonds Between Europe and America in Radio Talk
"The French policy of destruction is in large measure the cause of the distress of the American farmers," said Prof. John Ise, of the department of economics, in his talk over broadcasting on broadcasting Station, Monday night.
"The French have done this by impoverishing our best customers in Europe; by reducing the buying power of American farmers; by bringing American farm products; by preventing the manufacture of goods that the American farmer needs; and by increasing the tax burden of all Americans," said Professor Ise.
Professor Ise pointed out that not only was the destruction of Germany depriving us of what has always been the best market for farm products, it would have also impaired all European countries are being impervious by the French unwillingness to permit any settlement of European questions, thus, not only was it impossible for a company to also injure every other European market for American farm products.
Lack of Foreign Competition
"One of the reasons why manufacturers can charge consumers a price twice as high, relatively, as the price the farmer gets for his stuff, is that the manufactures have little foreign competition. If the four million German unemployed were again at it, they would not have to buy manufactured goods at present prices. Farmers and manufacturers would be more nearly on a par of values," said Professor Iceer. It was clearly brought out that a portion of storing people would benefit from the French policy in all chance of reparations, and is therefore making it inevitable that France will repudiate her debt to the United States. This increase an increase of about four billion dollars is destroying the United States, with the expectation that the farmer is to pay his share.
France Must Change Policy
Not only does the French policy mean an increased tax burden, but it also means that the government will have a winter to feed the starving Germans. "America does not wage war on babies and women and children; and it is inescapable that we should stand by and permit hundreds of thousands more, whatever their nationality," Professor Isele.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
"Either the American farm industry must adjust itself to the permanent loss of much of the European market by reduction in the demand for her policy. If France refuses under all circumstances to alter her policy, it will of course be necessary for about a million American farmers to get trained in technology. This they are already doing," concluded Professor Ise.

Book Lover Cares for Real Contents Instead of Binding
Desire of Possess First Edition
Matter of Sentiment,
Says Dunlap
"The desire to possess the first edition of a book is only a matte of association and sentiment," said Prof. C. G. Dunlap in his talk on book collecting, given for the graduate students and majors in the department of English. "The genuine book never exists that which the real edition which the author wrote and cared for, and its rarity stimulates possession," he continued. Professor Dunlap pointed out that all first editions are not worth collecting, because in some cases the second editions are improved until they become more important than the first. He said that knowledge and were necessary to the book hunter, as there were no rule for him.
Although bindings are not as important as the material inside the frame, they can be important in the fact that bindings are important as a part of artistic nature. He named and explained the various materials used with examples from his own collection.
"Book lovers have existed from very early times," said Professor W. R. Bornstein for what the books contain and not the covers. Book hunting runs stark mad, and now only book lovers with large purses can obtain first edi-
In closing, Professor Dumpla said that although everyone could not afford first editions, one could have a good library of standard editions.

Fruit and Feathers Wilt in Downpour
No, the Jayhawk's tail didn't droop Thursday, and the Ku Kus kept their feathers fairly dry, but what about a volume of the rooster and the ostrich?
Hats, some ten thousand of them, enough to stock half a dozen smart millinery shops for the year, swished sadly about the faces of the frownline rooters. Pert little clusters of gold hats were so chic in real rears for France. Lacious clusters of grapes became so juicy that they overflowed, the purple fluid making little furrows along the wearers' necks. Water wavred ribbons came into style with a bang. Big hats, little hats, pearl hats, and other small ones all were reduced to the common level of crumpled somniness.
"Is my hat very wet?" queried one sweet thing, blissfully unaware of the fact that what had once been a cute bit of expensive milinery was now only a plastered mat of rumped feathers.
"Well, rather," replied her companion. Then to reassemble her he added, "But probably if you squeeze it out and pin it on the clothes-line when you get home, it will come out all right."
