ON WAY TO CLARE
New Year's Statement and
Resume o£ Agricultural
■   Condition? and Prospects from Secretary of Agricdi-  *
ture Wallace
Twelve months ago most of the six
million farmers o. t&e United States
were otarting pa the long hard climb
oat of the valley of economic depreo-
oion. Tbey'' bave not yet attained
the heighte which are bathed in the
grateful sunshine o.f prosperitv. Some,
indeed, have . fallen by the way.
Others are Bttll in the valley. Nevertheless, as we stop a bit ana look
backward we can see that very con
Biderable ground has been pained by
the great majority, and we. can enter
the New Year with renewed hope
and that courage which comes from
' the . realization that we are really
making progreBB.
■ A. $ear ago, when speaking of the
prospects for farming in l.»22, I said
that while.there was no reason to ex-
psct/tboom times for £be farmer in
the near future, there was promise
of better times, both tor the farmer
and for those whose business is largely dependent upon bim. The ..ear
has brought fulfillment of that prom*
ise. Speakiug «enera')y, times art*
better,* mush better, than a year ago,'
both fo_. agriculture and industry.
Crops have been good, on the whole
Prices of the major crops are mostly
osnsiderably higher. While there has
been a corresponding advance in the
prices of the things the farmer must
buy, the total sum- which farmers
will receive for the crops of this year
ia greater by a billion and a half
dollars or more than that'wblch they
received for the crops'-*-©, last year.,
This will certainly mean better, timep.;
on the farm, and farm folks will b@
able to ease up a little on the grinding economy tbey were forced to
practice the preceding year.
■> The labor cose of producing the
crops of 1S22 was still further reduced. There were some substantial reductions in freight rates. Much helpful legislation has been enacted and
more will be this winter. Interest
rates are lower and 'the credit strain
has heou eased. This has made it
^possible for many farmers who were
heavily involved to refund their obligations and. get themselves in condition to wiu through.
There are still some dark spots. In
some sections weatber conditions
were unfavorable and crops were
short, and farmers in these, sections
are having a very hard time of it.
Freight rates are still too high, especially for those who must pay for
" a long haul to market.
Taxes are high, but this ia largely
due to the increase in local taxes,
over which farmers themselves must
exercise control.
There hao been gratifying growths
in farmers' cooperative marketing
associations, and more of them are
being organized on a sound business
basic
Aside from tbe help which has
been given by legislation and by administration aotivltieo, strong economic forces are at work to restore
a more normal relation between agriculture and other industries,
ia. peril In tbe agricultural depression io more keenly realized by other
groups than ever before, and on
every bund a sincere desire is being
evidenced to do what can be done
aafely to help the farmer better bio
condition.
Everything considered, we .have
good reason to expect otill better
things for agriculture in the year
1923.

Mark Twain's Idea of What
Arthur's  Court Was Like
Tbe. plumbing was bad in King
Arthur's Court.
There was no telephone system.
The brave knights, tbe flower of
chivalry, spent their time in eating,
drinking, slaying dragons, .rescuing
damsels, and fighting. ,,-
Tnere were no carpets on the floor
of King Arthur's Court—only rushes.
None of tbe Knights thought it worth
while to learn to read and Write. Not
one of them knew the di__pre»ce between a carburetor and a spark plug.
They believed that Merliu was a
mijjhty nowerful magician. Unti
the Yankee arrived. He taught them
oi lie rent-.
Fii-st he put the plumbing to rights.
Then he pulled the great magician's
whiskers. Tben be installed telephones ttuouebou. the realm. Then
be improved the knights' table manners. Then be took on a few knights
in n tournament and licked them single h. nded. Tben be mounted tbe
celebrated flower ot chivalry op mo*-
tbr-cycles.        . "^
When he bad nothing else to do, he
did a job Qr two ot rescuing, and one
fair damsel was bo grateful that Bhe
fell in love with him.
His title was "Sir Boss" and his
uniform consisted largely of a top hat
and a pair of garters. This was considered a very dignified get-up, and
it did his reputation among ...the
knights a lot of good. ^
Mark Twain wrote his masterpiece
"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" to proVe that tbe present is tbe best df.all possible times to
live in, and th&t tbe ..Age of Chivalry
wsb not all it is cracked no to be.
"A Connecticut Yankee in King
Arthur's Court*' translated to tbe

Dear Sirs: \.
Christmas baa (.date and gone.
Now for the New Year. •■ One week
before Christmas we had about eighteen inches of anow. Then a sbihook
came up one morning and conse-'
quently our snow is gone. «The sun
lor ratri don't have any effect, biit a
shinook, a southwest wind, commences to blow Che snow baB to be
on its way. During our coldest spell
the thrfrmpmeter-registered zero one
night, then it wenrito fourteen above,
but tonight it registers 38 above.
The Portland papers say that the
smelt are coming into the mouth of,
the Columbia river. This is a go6d
sign of Spring.
The apple orop of this valley is all
in storage. They estimate the crop
at 1,750,000 box.b.
In looking over Tbe Sentinel, I notice that tbe old settlers had a* re
union. I sure would have liked to
havt. been there, for we think we belong in that ciasff, having came to
Clare in the year 1876, There are not
many-iQ Clare now that were there
when we came. Dad's health is fine
and at.ends to his lire shop every
day. He sells forty-oleven. 'different
makes of auto tires and drives his
_.lord down oif the hill every morning
and back at nigbt and be says he
takes no dust from anyone. Not so
bad for a man of seventy-nine. Wo
can't coax bim to tell how much he
weighs.
Well, as it is now 2:00 o'clock a. m.
with us, that mstma 4:25 in Clare I
wiJI ring oif and will endeavor to tell
yoii-^norer about the smelt when they
get to running.

$Ir. OaAoS^A. Reading,   -

Dear Sir:—
I have before me your letter of
December 13th in which you state
that an autopsy bad been conducted
by two local pbysicana and a state
chemist upon tbe dead body of one
Gehrke; that a blood clot was found
upon the brain, but that the coroner's
jury was not called in to view thr.
same, and you ask this Department
to advise whether or not as a matter
of law tbe jury should have been
called In to view-the blood clot.
An autopsy is a private examination of a dead body by .qualified
physicians or surgeons, conducted
for the purpose of arriving at a conclusion as to the .cause of death. In
the case that you mention, it could
have served no proper purpose for
the jury to have been present aB the
autopsy performed upon tbe body by
tbe physicians or for them to have
viewed tbe body after it bad been
dissected because the only reason for.
having physicians perform such an
autopsy is that they may give competent, expert testimony as to the
cause of death, based upon their
findings at the autopsy. A laymen
would be incompetent to testify as td
matters of. opinion as to the cause of
death from conditions which he might
haye observed at such autopsy and
the jury, even though.it had, viewed
tbe dissected remains of Mr. Gehrke,
would be equally incapable, of arriving at a correct conclusion as.to tHe
cause of death. This is a matter
under our practice, which is left' entirely to the realm of expert testimony.
Thei physicians performing the autopsy would tedtiiy before tbe cdroner's
jury to conditions'which'-were disclosed by the autopsy and It'would
be the only competent evidence as to
the cause of death, based' upon the
autopsy itself.
it is the judgement of this Department, that the inquest in this case was
properly conducted.
