GRAY SILVER, THE MAN
WHO RUNS THE FARM BLOC
The American Farmer in Politics, Now
First Represented in the Making of
Laws That Affect His Welfare
In July, laat year. President Hard¬ ing went to Rarltan, N, J., to spend the Fourth at the summer home of Senator Frelinghuysen. Senator Lodge got word to adjourn the Sen¬ ate. The plan evidently was to re¬ cess the Senate until the House had passed the tariff bill, then call the Senators back to take up that meas¬ ure. As It was a special session ot Congress and the passage of a tariff law was one oU the things for which Il had been called, that measure would be privileged and take prece¬ dence over certain agricultural bills tliat had gained a place well up on the Senate calendar.
.\lmost as soon as Senator Lodge got this word, Mr. Gray Silver, Wash¬ ington representative of the Ameri¬ can Farm Bureau Federation, heard ot it. He immediately repaired to the Capitol to see Senator Kenyon, then leader of what is now known as the "farm bloc." They began mar¬ shalling their forces. They knew that the time had arrived when this new element In national politics was to be put to the critical test. Mr. Sli¬ ver communicated by telsgraph with the fifteen hundred county farm bu¬ reaus in the American Farm Bureau Federation and the next day tele¬ grams began pouring in from influen¬ tial farmers throughout the country protesting against adjournment of the Senate. When Senator Lodge presented hts resolution on the fifth the vote was 27 to 24 against tt.
The administration then turned to another and abler leader. Senator Penrose had been sick but was tlien able to be back In the Senate. He sent out word summoning all the faithful. As the previous vote show- pd. there was tar from a full Senate. The call now ent out from this last OI' the big bosses to those Senators who spend most of their time at home
and are seldom seen in Washington except when they are wanted by the party leaders to vote on some meas¬ ure. When the Senate convened on Friday of the week following there was a good attendance. The farm bloc leaders had also been busy. Sen¬ ator Penrose held the floor with a motion to recommit the bonus bill. On his desk was the resolution for adjournment. While the debate re¬ garding the bonus was going on. Sen¬ ator Curtis of Kansas, the Republican whip In the Senate, polled the mem¬ bers. He reported to Penrose that the resolution for adjournment could not pass. Senator Penrose soon af¬ ter retired to his room, leaving the resolution on his desk. Astute politi¬ cian that he was, and able leader, he realized that his days ot successful leadership were over.
The next day President Harding sent for Senator Kenyon. The old leaders had failed him. Something had happened In the Senate that seemed hardly believable to him, familiar as he was with the machin¬ ery of that body. A new sun had risen. The law ot gravitation to par- tv leaders that he knew so well had been upset. There was nothing for him to do but turn to this new force. He sent for Kenyon. Senator Kenyon conferred with Gray Silver. There were twelve hills before the Senate in which the farmers were particularly interested—some that they had been trying to get passed tor fourteen years. It was agreed that if six of these should pass, the farm bloc would permit the adjournment that the administration desired. In less than six weeks, before Congress ad¬ journed on August 25, the following measures were passed: (1) the pack¬ er and stock-yard control bill. (2) the Capper-Tlncher bill reculatlng (Con'tinued on Page Eight)

AUTO BANDITS
IN COTNH
Elmer L. Reinhard, flour and teed merchant, of 3 40 Tilghman street, Ailentown, was held up and robbed of $248 by four masked automobile bandits, shortly after 7 o'clock Fri¬ day night, on the ShoenersvlUe road, leading to Bath. The holdup occurred where the road makes a rather sharp turn just before the approach to the bridge, over the tracks of the Lehigh and New England railroad.
Reinhard had spent the day deliv¬ ering and collecting among his cus¬ tomers at Bath. He was on his way home, and his truck had just made the turn before reaching the bridge, when he saw his path closed by a Hudson sedan, standing crosswise in the road. Stopping his car, he said, he was surprised to find himself peer¬ ing into the muzzles ot four revolv¬ ers, and commanded by as many masked men to dismoujit. Comply¬ ing with the order, Reinhard said, two of the party kept him covered with their revolvers, while the other two went through his pockets taking only his money. He estimated the amount at $248 or $250.
Satisfied that they had what they were looking for, the quartet started tor their machine, entered and drove hurriedly away. Reinhard told the police, that because his headlightg were not working, he was unable to secure the license numbers on the bandit car, but expressed the belief that it was a New York license, turn¬ ed upside down.     Police say that af-
THE HISTORY OF FARM BUREAU IN ' NORTJIAMPTON CO.
Organization Shows Splendid
Progress; Story by County
Agent, C. W. Klapp
The Northampton County Farm Bureau was effected at the annual Moorestown Grange picnic In the summer of 1917. A member of the Kxtenslon Service office was present at that time. It was not until May 1918 that the county agent began his duties In Northampton county.
The Farm Bureau was located in the Nazareth National Bank until it was moved to the Court House, Eas¬ ton, in October 1919.
The flrst three years of Its exist¬ ence the Farm Bureau had a hard struggle. With limited appropria¬ tions by the commissioners; with war-time prices tor materials needed, v.ithout adeijuate room for office space, without clerical help most ot the times, and without the necessary equipments, the Farm Bureau slowly and gradually won Its way into the confidence not only ot the farmers but ot the business people of the county.
For nearly three years the Farm Bureau had taken the position that county funds only should be used to pay Farm Bureau expenses, because an a promoter of agriculture the Farm Bureau is assisting in building a safe foundation for all other indus¬ tries. The Bureau still holds that this Is true, and while it continues to expect financial support from county funds, it flnds that an element, more essential than money and which cus¬ todians ot county funds cannot pro¬ vide, is needed if any Farm Bureau is to prosper and accomplish things worth while. This element is the co-operation of the farmers, singly and collectively and with a pledge sealed by yearly membership dues. The farmer, too, must know that things worth while cost money, and t'lat things are usually appreciated in t)roportlon to what they cost. If the B^arm Bureau is a good thing for the farmers why should they not have a shave in the burden of expenses and have the full management, thus mak¬ ing It a farmers' farm bureau.
These arguments on the part ot the Executive Committee led to a spe¬ cial meeting when representatives o"er the county were invited and   nt

Since only a few Philadelphians can hear the Bach festival, the Bach choir took the festival to Philadelph¬ ians Saturday and in the Academy of Music, the place ot so many artistic triumphs. Dr. J. Fred Wolle and hla singers added new laurels to their tame. That their coming had work¬ ed great Interest among the music loving public had been known In ad¬ vance, for about two thousand appli¬ cations for tickets were refused but that even did not indicate the full measure of enthusiasm with which the choir was received.
The concert was arranged by the Philadelphia Forum, but Messrs. Ed¬ ward Bok and Cyrus K. Curtis were the hosts ot the occasion.
The choir left Bethlehem by spe¬ cial train at 8 o'clock Saturday morn¬ ing and upon arrival at the Reading Terminal, were greeted by a caravan of automobiles taking the vocalists on a sight-seeing tour of the city, followed by a rehearsal with the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Acad¬ emy. At noon, luncheon was served In the Foyer of the academy, Edward Tok being the host.
In addition to the Philadelphia or- cliestra, the choir was assisted by Nicholas Douty, tenor, who appeared in a previous concert of the choir at Bethlehem. Others who assisted were Mrs. Emily Stokes Neager, so¬ prano and Miss Maybelle Addison, contralto, the latter appearing for the first time with the Bach choir.
The Moravian trombone choir an¬ nounced the concert with a twenty minute clarion call on the Broad street balcony of the Academy. And the sound of the ancient chorals above the roar of the street traffic sounded  strange Indeed there at the
heart of the city of Philadelphia. The trombones also announced the rise of the curtain to the packed house The program offered by Dr. Wolle constated of the Kyrle and the Gloria from the mass in B Minor, which is usually sung at the flrst session of Saturday during the Bach festival with four ot Bach's Chorals sung \7ithout accompaniment.
To one who was accustomed to the -Mass only In the Gothic setting ot Packer Memorial church, there was a question as to how it would sound In a music hall such as the academy. The opening of the Kyrle seemed a little thin, but whether of the hall or apparent strangeness of the hall or not, was not determined, for the volume grew more intense and made the same appealing grip that it al¬ ways has done in Packer Memorial church.
There was some applause, by those who were not acquainted with the no applause concerts ot the Bach Choir and Dr. Wolle endeavored to put a stop to the applause by raising his hand, but that time worn tradition ot refusing applause was crushed when nothing would stop the enthused throng of music lovers, who sound¬ ed their approval of the choir's ef¬ forts with more and louder applause.
With this concert, another triumph is added to the already long list of achievements of Dr. Wolle, who has become famed as an Interpreter of the greatest choral music ever writ¬ ten by the greatest of masters.
Following the concert, the singers went to the Ritz-Carlton for a little rest and then took dinner In the din¬ ing room of the Curtis Publishing Company with Cyrus K. Curtis as host. They returned to Bethlehem by train shortly after midnight.
