Smith had never sold an egg or a
pound of butter, beef or pork since he
had been farmer, and his frozen toed
chickens, razor backed pigs and lousy
rack-a bone COWS had lily supplied his
own table. They had grown up and
grown down again on the farm and
their whltened bones scattered around
served as missiles to hurl at the more
unfortunate living. He considered
them and treated them as though they
were a necessary evil to be borne with
and:cursed as one does his mother-in-
law. 1t had never occurred to him
that good money could be had from
them. Wheat was his only source OF
income. Failing in that his case was
pitaible indeed. Jones was not built
that way and-unlike Smith who was an
enthusiast on ventilation and exercise,
such men always are-believed that his
ANIMALS should be kept the quietest
and warmest possible and fat enough
for the sham bles from birth to maturity,
and that they were his greatest source
of profit. His butter and eggs had
mostly supplied his household expen-
ses and his fat hogs and steers, now al
the highest price for years, had just
been sold at a hundred per cent of pro-
tit. Thus situated with plenty to eat
and wear and bank account and a
granaly full Of wheat waiting for better
prices, he and Smith met and fought
over again their bloodless but wordA
political battle. Among other things
Smith said: "The low price of wheat
proves that the per capita of money is
becoming less all the time;;" and Jones
replied: "If that is SO then the high
price of eggs, butter and pork proves
that the per capita OF money is becom-
ing greater all the time,' and the ans
wer was corker to Smiths theory of
per capitas and prices. Smith grated
his teeth and snarled at Jones "l'd
