TrOillet

One of Great Bends most high,
ly respected citizens, Joseph
TrOillet, passed to the Great Be
yOnd, Friday night, at his home
in this city. Mr.. Troilet had
been in fairly good health until
about a week previous to his
death, when he suffered a stroke
of paralysis and for a few days
seemed to be improving when a
second shock came which he was
unable to withstand and he grad
ually sank until death came.
He was born Dec, 81 1S43 in
Bagnes Suisse, Switzerland. and
came to America when but a
young man. Soon after his arri-
val in this country he located in
LeavenwOrth and remained there
for several years when he came
tC Great Bend, and opened a tai
lOr shop. He afterward dispOs-
ed of his shop and started a con-
dictionary store which he cOntin-
ued until the time of his death.
On March 6, 1882, he was mar
ried to Anna Frances BObeck,
who died a few years ago. To
this union three daughters were
born, Lillian, Elsa, and Alma and
the three are left to mourn his
loss.
Mr.. TrOillet was a man of good
character and was respected by
everyone. His presence at the
store will be greatly missed by
his friends.
Funeral services were held Sun
day at 2:90 at the home, con-
dueted by Rev. W. E. Brehm of
the Congregational church and
his body laid to rest in the Great
Bend Cemetery.
The sympathy of the cOmmun-
ity is extended to the bereaved
daughters who are left without
father or mother.

On his Western tour last fall
Col. Roosevelt defined the pro-

New NatiOnalism. In a series
Of articles he is writing on the

styles it Progressive NatiOnaliSm.
In some of its aspects it is called
insurgency. Woodrow Wilson
calls it Representative Govern

we are not doing away with REP

Who Gets the Big Profits?

1t has been insisted by some of
those who are honestly concerned
about the high cost of living that
the simplest and most direct way
of determining where the cost of
food unduly accurmulateS is to go
to the producer and from him
otrace any particular product until
It reaches the consumer. In this
, manner it would be possible to
place the blame for unreasonable
@ profits. Within the last few
weeks this suggestion has brought
forth some interesting cOmmuni-
cations from the farmers and
small stOaekeepers in the coun-
try towns which prove. if they
prove anything, that the armer
Is not getting more than a de-
cent price for his products while
the consumer is paying extOr-
tiOnate rates. Somewhere along
the line between these extremes
there is handler who ge.s more
than his just share of profits.
If a farmer brings his eggs to
his local merchant, for example,
and sells them at II cents a dOz-
en-, 1t does not stand to reason
that by the time these same eggs
reach the consumer they should
cost twice that sum. But that
appears to be the fact. One es-
innate outlines the transaction
thus: Original price paid to the
farmer by the country storekeep-
'er, II cents a dozen; cost of
transportation, ! cent a dozen;
divided between the commission
dmerchant and the retail grocer,
3 cents a dozen; cost to the con-
.Sumer; 20 cents dozen. We are
not, of course, prepared to verify
this statement. It may be mac
currate. But the fact seems to be
that the farmers do not get for
their eggs more than about half
the price the consumer pays.
If this condition prevails in
the marketing of eggs, it must
also exist in varying degrees in
the matter of butter, poultry, veg
-etablest.fruits, etc. Therefore it.
would seem not only logical but
necessary, if any intelligent basis
Is to be secuerd for investigating
the high cost of living, to start
a. the production of food and fol-
low it to the consumer. In this
way all the manipulatiOns, COM
missions, shrinkage, transpOrta-
'tlOn charges and every other item
of expense and profit could be
ascertainned. If the broker is
found to be making more on the
product than the producer and
shipper, without taking cOmmen-
Surate risks, he could be saddled
with the blame. But, in any
event, this method of procedure
would clear the atmosphere and
lead the way to getting rid of
the commercial parasites who,
somewhere between the farmers
and the consumers, get more than
Is legitimately coming to them.-'
