Many Materials In Favor for Autumn
SIashed Skirt Firmly Estab-
llshed In Paris.

Navy blue silk serge. surah silk or
French serge are the materials for
the smart one-piece street dresses OF
autumn. Their neatness and the sense
of security enjoyed in the wearing
recommend them to the out-of-door
girl.
The waist line remains slightly
raised, with a narrow belt Of the ma
terial Of the dress securing the skirt
to the blouse.
A long, straight tunic reaching al
most to the bottom Of the skirt Is q
fashionable development Of both the
one-piece dress and the suit skirt. One
of the most popular cuts of the autumn
is the slashed skirt, already firmly es.
tablished in Paris. Most Of the models
show the slash extending only slight.

IAN, honest man is the noblest work

Ignorance is not always bliss-par-
ticularly in the farming business.
Some things come to those who
wait, but opportunity is not among the
comers.
Many bad actor is good actor,
and that's how he manages to fool
the public.
City folks are asking the farmers to
produce more. Why? So they can
buy for less. Is that good bait?
The political rally doesn't draw the
farmer as 1t used to. He isn't taking
the other mans opinion for granted
now. but reads and draws his own
conclusions
Fifteen years ago the farmers were
called close. Could you expect him to
have been otherwise than close when
Is cents was the best he could get
for his corn?
There is no complaint now Of the
farmer not spending his money. In
fact. Wall street rather insinuates
that he is too free with 1t and all be-
cause he likes to ride in an auto the
same as the Wall street man.

them up at night, and 1t is easier to

houses all have board floors, and
skunks and weasels cannot get into

WHAT'S THE MATTER

The young mother-and many an old
one, tools often puzzled to know the
cause of her child's Ill nature. The
loudness OF Its crying does not neces-
sarily indicate the seriousness OF Its
trouble. 1t may have nothing more the
matter with 1t than headache or feel

preliminary measure you are safe in

Is all the child needs, for its restlessness
and peevishness are perhaps due to OBJ
structi0n Of the bowels. and once that
has been remedied the headache, the
sluggishness and the many other EVIL
dences of constipation and indigestion
will quickly disappear.
Don't give the little one salts, cathar-
tic pills or nasty waters, for these will
act as purgatives. and they are too
strong for child. In the families Of

FARMERS EYES ARE OPENED
Several Who Investigate In New York
Find That Middleman Manages to
Get Big Profit.

Give me that little chicken there

vania farmer who had dropped into
the New York butcher shop.

get only four cents Of It."
This farmer and 40 others went to
New York city from Pennsylvania to
find out what was the matter. They
discovered that milk for which they
received 2ls cents a quart was sold
In New York for eight cents.
These men are deeply interested in
the recently formed clea1ng house,
through which tens Of thousands of
New York city's consumers will buy
from producer, direct. The men spent
much time investigating.
They found that city consumers
paid $l2 for sheep which they had
sold for $3.50.
The consumer paid $36 a ton for
hay which the farmer had sold for
$40.
Potatoes they sold at so cents a
bushel cost the consumer from $1.5O
to $3.50, depending upon whether the
consumer purchased them by the
bushel or the quart.
Butter netting the farmer 20 cents
pound sold in New York for As
cents.
Eggs the farmers sold for 20 cents
were bought by consumers for 45
cents dozen.
After days shopping the surprised
farmers figured out that Uncle Sans
recent reports are correct and that
the farmer gets only 46 cents out Of
every dollar which the consumer pays
for food.
Where do you suppose that other
81 cents goes?" asked the farmer who
bought the chicken.
"Middlemen," answered ]. w. Kjel.
gard, farmer from Gaines, Pa.
They don't do anything but distribute
what we raise. but they get more out
of 1t than we do. Maybe the railroads
get ten per cent Of the 54 cents. The
middlemen get the rest
"lf we could only sell our stuff di.
rectly to the consumer, we could split
that 54 cents with him. He would pay
~ cents less on each dollars worth
of goods he buys, and we would get
~ cents more on every dollars worth
we sell"
Farmer Kjelgaard gave some start
ling figures on the high cost of living
which he had secured showing what
New York city consumers paid for
farm products and what share the
farmer got Here they are:

merchant and cold storage man work
hand in hand Farmers were selling
chickens this summer for 20 to 80
cents each. II the chickens had gone
right into the market they would have
sold for perhaps so cents. But the
middleman put most of the supply in
cold storage, thus keeping up the sum.

load next winter at still higher prices.
1t was shown that middlemen in
most cities have agreements which
virtually constitute them a trust.

gard.
If The consumer could buy beans di.
rectly from the Florida producer they
would cost him only $2.75 bushel,
counting 80 cents for the railroad
haul. The middlemen's trust makes
the consumer pay s6.4O u bushel.
Farmers In Texas, Louisiana and
Arkansas sell their rice at 2ls cents a
pound, but the consumer pays ten
cents. BY cooperation the farmer
might receive a cent more pound
and the consumer get twice as much
rice for his money.
Arkansas and Missouri farmers re.
ceive 10 cents dozen for eggs sold In
New York at 35 cents. Under the
new plan they might receive 20
cents dozen while the consumer paid
fourth less for his eggs.
And when farmer and consumer
deal hand In hand the farmers prod.
ucts will reach the consumer fresher
than ever before.
