One dollar for wheat at Chica-
90, instead of 10 cents, will IN
crease the cost of living 81 per
capita. This is 81 cents a month,
eabeut &c q week. A raise of &c
day in wages will meet it. This

sequence, while to the farmer 1T

els. The increase should not
curtail Me consumption of bread
by single loaf, nor make a
pound of flour higher. The peo-
lple who eat bread, pies and
cakes will eat them still. 1t will,
however, enable the farmers to
do many things long deferred.
Dealers, shippers and millers
may tell you that if you keep
the price of wheat up, we Will
lose the export trade. Don't be-
lieve them. The low prices sci

slble for losing our export trade

our wheat and the trade practic-
allv lost. If our farmers had put
the price up to fair basis, we
predict that we would have had
this trade yet. Now England
threatens to put IA duty on our
farm products. If our farmers
want to preserve the only con-
siderable export market left to
them they must maintain a high

effective and nothing else will.
DON'T fear over-production, con-
sumption is increasing faster
than production can. The French
farmers encouraged by good
price for wheat on account of the
duty against our product have
raised their average yield to 81
bushels per acre, while ours re-
mains at IL bushels, notwith-

papers, agricultural colleges and

Farmers, you are the backbone
ofsthis country in times of peace
and its guardians In times of war.
You produce the food that sus
tains the life of the people and
animals and the material for the
clothing we wear. In all equity
you are entitled TO one dollar for
your wheat. You will not get it
unless you try for 1t. No person
nor set of people will give you
equity of their own volition. All
precedents are against il. Also,
victory viii be sweeter if you
win it by your own efforts. Fix
dollar VIII in your mind, talk
1t, demand it, hold for it. Rivet
YOUR eye to the dial of the indi-
Gator on the board of trade at
Chicago and don't sell except at
your price. Concerted action on
the part of the farmers now will
keep the price at S1.0O. Those
who sold out at less last year
should not make such a mistake
again. A few dollars will build
a granary on your farm. Grain

inconvenience, endure them,

manhood and independence by

like. Don't be bullied and made
afraid. The destiny of the world
lis in your keeping. Comfort,

you. You can give or withhold.
The world cannot do without you
one week. You can shut YOUR
self up on the farm and live IN

past. If you shall not have more

Powers Early Experiences.

Before James T. Powers rose to the
dignity of a comedian who commands
a salary that would make the income
son. he learned something of the ter
rors which the one-night stands hold
out 10 the actor man. In touring the
south in the early days Powers was
interested i'm the varied vocations of
the one-night stand managers, for all
of them have some other mode of
earning a livelihood aside from the
theatre, and too many of them treat
the show business as an unimport-
ant side issue. One of the treasured
souvenirs of his early career is list
of the varied enterprises in which
managers of one-night stands were in
terested on the southern circuit which
TIE company Powers was with CHANGED
to cover. This shows that in a season
of seven weeks. ali one-night stands
they played in theatres which were in
the immediate charge of the following
variety of business men: Three houses
were managed by undertakers. four by
sheriffs. six by bankers. eight by the
city bill poster. one by a baker, four
by the leading jewelers.. one by the
sexton of the leading church. three by
real estate men. two by hotel proprie-
tors. one by a United States senator
two by the village transfer company
which made its profit by hauling the
scenery and props. four by saloon
Keepers. one by a barber and two by
farmers who lived some distance
