That is the effect of the wheat rebate or milling-in-bond provisions of our tariff law on wheat prices in the United States thing: the entire The vulgar nine-tenths of the Journal article is beneath the «»»• - « »< r" mg newspaper. SO the Courier contents itself with expressing a mild curiosity as to how the members and officers of the Gallatin County Farm Bureau, an excellent, purposeful organization, relish the sort of material which Handshaking Sam continues to issue ♦*/"»**• • I r» jf j.t- ^ s • unde, the label Official Paper of the Gallatin County Farrnj ureau. The Journal recites figures showing exports of American some vague way these figures had anything to do with wheat rebate or milling-in-bond. flour for 1921, 1922 and 1923—16,179,956; 15,796,824; and 14, 882,714 barrels respectively—as if in . The Courier will go the Journal one better, and mention that in 1921 total wheat from the United in terms of wheat, amounted to 279,407,000 bushels; in 1922, 221,923,000 bushels, and in 1923 approximately 160,000,000 bushels. But this was American, not Canadian, wheat and flour, and while the figures have nothing to do with milling-in-bond or wheat rebates, they show conclusively why the American wheat market has followed the world market so closely, instead of raising domestic prices the height of the tariff above world prices. It is the price at which this surplus sells that, generally speaking, fixes the price at which the rest of the wheat sells. The Journal says that under the tariff, Canadian flour is shut out from America. As a matter of fact, flour is imported from ( anada to be mixed with domestic flour and exported, under exactly the same drawback provision as applies to wheat, again demonstrates that Handshaking Sam in his advice to the tarmers had better coniine iTm-elf to vague generalities and not expose his lack of acquaintance with facts by getting specific. \\ hen ( anadian tlour enters American domestic trade, how'ever, •' P<*ys the duty, and when Canadian wheat enters the American i :arket, either as flour This or wheat, it also pays th» full duty. Neither the wheat drawback or milling-in-bond provisions affect the domestic price of wheat, but the existence of a surplus above domestic needs, which must sell abroad at world price, does affect our domestic prices materially. It was to dispose of this surplus, and make tariff protection fully effective for wheat, that agricultural America demanded the McNary-Haugen bill The Gallatin County Farm Bureau endorsed the McNary Haugen bill emphatically. he Montana Farm Bureau federation worked enthusiastically fur it, and sent its president. W. L. Stock ton of this county, to Washington to do fine and effective for it. Congressmen representing three-fourths of the the United States, voted for this bill, which however, was finally defeated by the nearly solid democratic south and by the Atlantic seaboard states, in combination. This leads the Courier to the question which it wishes work area of f° put up to Handshaking Sam Hampton to answer through the Belgrade Journal: While the Montana and Gallatin county farm bureaus were straining every nerve for the McNary-Haugen bill, where was Handshaking Sam? Specifically, the Courier suggests that he tell his readers if he wrote any letters to the Montana senators or representatives in Congress concerning the McNary-Haugen bill ; and if he did, was his position one of support for, or opposi tion to, the measure? I r* 1 What Is Theosophy? I I I i By F. Milton Willis — Theosophy of course conflicts with no truth, religious or (Continued) 'other, but affords generally an extension, an enlarged view, of any truth derived by ordinary reasoning processes. It is logically coherent, and to even the casual reader affords a reasonable jtneory of life in ail its aspects, while to the deep student it gives the key to great treasures of knowldge in the literatures of the past, a touchstone by which to test the worth of the sciences and philosophies and civilisations of the present, and a body of rules by which he can marvelously hasten his own evolution and aid others in hastening theirs. It has been well said that Theosophy is a science to be studied, not a dogma to be believed. So is it a life as well as a doctrine; and the investigation by which first-hand knowledge is attained, becomes possible only after a physical, mental and moral purifica tion which is admirable not only in its personal aspect, but in its social and civil aspects as well. In its higher reaches theosophical investigation demands a spiritual evolution far in advance of the ideal of spirituality ordinarily held. As, however, evolutionary processes are slow and gradual, the attainment of the requisite unfoldment of a man's inner powers to enable him to observe the occult side of Nature and the inner workings of Consciousness may take not years, but lives, depending of course upon what has been the development accomplished by the man in his previous] lives. For Theosophy teaches that the Self of man is a seed or fragment of the Self of the Universe (the Solar System), is the' same in essence as that wondrous Self in which we live and move and have our being, and that man's evolution is but his latent possibilities becoming active powers through interplay with the Universe about him during vast reaches of time and in great numbers of Earth-lives in the course of which (under the law of causation, the law of karma) the results of one Earth-life are parried on to the next, after a long interval of blissful rest in superphysical worlds concentric with the Earth, rebirth succeed ing rebirth until all of Earth's lessons have been learned and human perfection has been reached, following which higher des tinies open before the triumphant soul.
