st. Louis, Mo.-Excessive profit
taking by middlemen was the reason
assigned for high rates of foodstuffs
by B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the
Frisco system, in an address which
he made before the National Conven-
ton of the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union, in conference in
this city. He declared that the heavy
last few years had been absorbed by
the dealers and not shared in by the
farmers or consumers.
The railroad man described the
demagogic politician as disturbing
and expensive middle agent, and
urged that he be cut out in the deal
ings which the railroads and the
farmers should have with each other,
because he fosters malice.
The most important fore Tor the
welfare of the Nation will come when
the land owners of America are or
ganized," said Mr.. Yoakum. This
organization is important Lot only for
the benefits which will come to the
farmers, but on account of money,
which will be saved by the consumers.
It is not prices received by farmers
which make living expenses high, but
the profits of the dealers handling
the food, between the farmer and
consumer.
The Florida farmer receives $2.25
for bushel of green beans, the rail-
road gets fifty cents for the S00-mile
haul to New York City, and the con-
sumner pays $6.4C for this same bushel
of beans. There is thirty-five per
cent. for the grower. eight per cent.
for the carrier, and fifty-seven per
cent. for the dealer. .~hi5 is not a
fair division.
Thirty cents a dozen was the av-
erage price of eggs in New York City
last year, while the farmers of Ar
kansas and Missouri received fifteen
cents. The freight was two cents a
dozen. The man who received the
eggs at freight station in New York

Barge Office History.

Shifting conditions in New York
City cause officialdom to make many
changes in original purposes. Take
for instance the Barge Office, one of
the sights of the Battery. That gran
lite building was put up originally be-
cause Uncle Sam desired q nice land
ing place for cabin passengers from
incoming transatlantic liners. 1t was
discovered later that the plan was
not SO practicable as to land those
passengers at the piers of the lines
on which they crossed the ocean.
From being landing place for cabin
passengers, the Barge Office dropped
to the level of an immigrant station.
That, too, was discovered to be i'm
practicable ultimately, and as last
resort the big building was given
over to customs inspectors and others
connected with that service.

Her Scalp Itched IntolerabIy.

Just about two years ago. some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching,
but 1t grew steadily worse until. when
! combed my hair the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in painful, burning way. very much
as bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to heal.
Combing my hair was positive tor
ture. My hair was long and tangled
terribly because of the blood and
seabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out Twas

totally bald.

that, when partially awake, l would

not sleep well and, after being asleep
short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and th04 would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.

tor, residing in one ward of the city
and owning real estate or being in
possession of premises for business
purposes in the other four wards Of
the city, may vote five times at the
same election, once in each ward, and
he or she votes in each ward for one
of the candidates for mayor and for
the number of councillors to be elected
from such ward.
Voting at these elections is not
by ballot, but at polling place viva

lister the choice of the elector, as de-
clared by him or her in public. In
case of a tie the returning officer
casts the deciding vote. Contests of
elections are allowed only if notice
is given by each polling place before
the closing of the polls. No person
can hold the Office of mayor or coun-
cilor unless he is the owner of unin-
numbered real estate in the city to a
specified value. A councillor is per-

A Real Opinion.

William NJ. Chase was talking
about the eccentricities of picture
buyers.
They are" he said, "the most self
opinionated and aggressive people in
the world. Only yesterday Pierpont
Morgan called at my studio. Says he:
I have just imported genuine Ru-
bens, rare good one, Mr.. Chase. Sir
Purdon Charge called in to see IL
the other day and what do you think?
He insisted it was copy. I'll break
the head of the next man that says
so. Pray, Mr.. Chase, do me the
favor to come and give me your real
opinion of it. New York Times.

Land Never Changed Title.

The lightweight acre tract of land
on which Joseph Bennett lives, a mile
and half north of Wingate. has new
er changed title or been transferred
except by inheritance since it was
granted by the Government to one
settler from Virginia by the name of
Chestnut about the year 1920. Mr..
Bennett, who now owns and lives on
the land, was born and reared and
passed his life up to his present age
of eighty-two on the place, as did his
father before him at the age of sew
enty. Mr.. Bennett is the father of
eighteen children, twelve of whom
grew up on the place. 1t is not likely
that'there is another tract in the coun-
ty with such record.-Monroe Jour-
nal.
