Washington almost as completely as
Kansas and other middle western
states. Mr.. Miles PoindeXter was

Burke of Seattle, whom he beat by

Why Living Is High.

The question of the high price of
food is one that affects the entire ma
ton. While statistics show that
wages have gone up in many countries
and specially in the United States, it
also shows that the average lahorer
cannot purchase as much for his
money as when he received a smaller
wage. There is scarcely an article on
the table of the average family that
has not increased in price from 10 per
cent to 100 per cent in the last
twenty years. The effect of this can
not be beneficial in the long run.
So seriously was this matter dis
cussed at the last session of Congress,
that committee was appointed to in
vestigate thoroughly the cause OF this
increased cost of living. One we'll
known statesman told a partial truth
when he said "the high price of liv
ing is caused by living high" This
is partly true. Luxurles of 20 years ago
are necessities today, and luxur
les of today will be necessities TWEEN
ty years hence. In our childhood
days back in Wisconsin, the winter S
warmth was obtained by cutting the
wood along the oak clearings. The
house was often banked up as high
as the windows with straw and leaves.
Hogs were killed and sailed down for
the winters meat The women knit
ted the socks and made carpets out of
discarded clothes. Even butt er at 10
and 20 cents per pound was luxury.
But it is different today. In the
past few years, stoves have been dis
carded, houses must be heated by
furnaces. A ton of coal will last but
a few days and costs as much as the
winter wood of former days. Old
clothes are given to beggars. Meats
are bought and delivered every day,
so are the vegetables. Now all these
luxuries are nice but they cost money
and the nation has become too much
a nation of spendthrifts. Boys of
today spend more money in month
than boys fomer ly spent in year.
Men and women spend more on a
single suit Of clothes than they for
merly paid for clothing for half year.
The question arises. How muc b
higher can the necessities of life go
until the average wage Garner has
reached "a point where he cannot
make both ends meet? 1t looks de-
cidedly like this point had already
been very closely reached. Statistics
show that in the great city of New
York the average earnings of 400, 900
workmen was less than 500 per year.

that he more nearly represented their
views on public questions. Mr..

record as congressman. He will no

Every farmer and his family should

Every farmer and his family should
make it point to attend as many
county and local fairs as possible.
There is an education of itself in at
tending these fairs, meeting neighbors
and friends, renewing old acquain-
tances and getting some recreation
after the busy harvest is over. The
young folks should be encouraged to
make exhibits of their work. The
boys in raising good crops or good
livestock, and the girls in their hand
iwork in the home. Don't begIudge
the young people the time. but help
them in every possible way.

How long will it be before the United
States will begin to import its food
stuff? Certainly not long at the pre-
sent rate. The lesson has taught as
that not only must more people go to
farming, but we must have better
farms. Not only must new lands be
brought under the pillow. but lands
already in use must be made to pro-
duce larger crops. Here is serious
food for thought among those who
desire to see this country maintained
as the home of prosperous, we'll fed
and contented people.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:

The same statistics show that their
living exceeded $500. This allowed
nothing for savings for old age, moth
ing for sickness. but bare living.
Other cities would probably make as
unfortunate showing, and the diff
Guilty is that the men who crowd the
cities are city men, and would he
practically helpless on farm. They
have neither training nor inclination
to help produce food. This is unfor-
tunate, and is one reason why our
agricultural colleges should have the
earnest support of every city and
country. If the government could
establish fund that would take these
over crowded tenements and empty
large part of their people into the
country and teach them the rudi-
ments of agriculture, it would prob
ably be the best possible use for the
money expended.
Summed up in few words the main
cause of the high price Of living is
that production of food stuff is not
keeping pace with the demands of
food consumers.
Mr.. James j. Hill the great railroad
builder makes this very plain in his
recent address made before the Port
land Livestock Exhibition this
month. He shows that livestock re-
ceipts in Chicago for 1900 we're 1,544,
997 less than the previous year but
that the value increased $50, 600, :
600. The receipts of hogs at ID
markets was $3.50, 312 less than in
1903, and the total number of cattle
has decreased 5000, 600 in three years
and hogs have decreased 1000, 600 in
the same time. In the past five years,
our exports of meats and dairy pro-
ducts fell in value from $2l1, 600, 600
to S13O, 900, OOO and our cattle and
hogs exports from $43, 800, 600 to $13,-
600, 900.
Not alone are our meat products
poi ton, but our cereal production
makes equally as unfortunate show
ing. For the past five years, wheat
exports have fallen off 40 per cent.
Exports of food stuff including cere-
ais and animals was $lO6, 900, 600 for
the year ending May 81 this year;
S132, 900, 900 for the similar period last
year, and S1S1, 600, 900 for similar
period in 1908.
1t is shown that in the past %
years, our population has increased
64.5 per cent, while wheat produc-
ton increased only 40 per cent, and
our domestic consumption has in
creased 1927 per cent. In view of
these facts, a serious question arises.
