now gnu we are tHdL he Is risen, ana
that He was not raised again in the
flesh, with the loss Of His heavenly
glory, but raised as the King of all, far
above all others. and partaker of the
divine nature!
Secondly. we are glad on our own
kind; for il our Lord Jesus had not
been raised from the dead it would
have proven one Of two things-either
that he had not been faithful-up to
the Divine standard, and therefore
that His life could not be satisfaction
for the human life lost in Adam, or else
1t would have proved that God. who
had promised to raise Him from the
dead If He would be obedient unto
death, had been unable to do so; and,
II unable to raise Him from the dead.
we, likewise. would be without hope,
even If our sins were cancelled by viz
tue of His sacrifice.
The Apostles words give further
suggestion: Our Lord In His resurrec-
ton became "the tirst-frHits of them
that slept" This signifies that none
was ever raised from the dead before
Him. As another Scripture declares.
HE was the first that should arise
from the dead" There were indeed
others awakened from the tomb, by
Jesus Himself and also previous to
His Advent. But they were merely
GtodkeRed, not lifted fully up out Of
death conditions to perfect life The
Redeemer was the first to have such
an experience. But the Apostles
words mean more. If Jesus was the
1Srst-truits of them that slept, there

this the Apostle proceeds to prove, de-
claring that .'as all in Adam die. even

Wouldn't it raise a howl from city
customers, including, of course,
such yiftuous magnates as Hill and
Morgan. But what is the essential
difference between such a trust as
we have suggested and the kind of
trusts that now control meat and
steel and a lot of cher commodities
in this country.
The mention CT a farmers trust
always brings forth loud denunciation,
although farmers might as well con-
troll prices for farm products as to
have such prices controlled by the
men to whom the farmers sell their
crops and produce. And, too, no
great sin would be committed if farm
ers through organization regulated
acreage of certain crops to prevent
oyerproduction and consequent waste.
Quite frequently, for instance, too
many acres of potatoes are planted
and the crop is larger than the com
munity can use, resulting in great
loss.
Farmers must either organize to do
what he other fellows are doing
or Stop them playing the game as
they are now playing it. To stop the
ether itllows is the first duty we be-
lieve, ard at that job farmers will
rec, I've the help of the common
people everywhere. Railroads must
be- compelled to give shippers a fair
deal. We must have the freest pos
sible kind of a chance to buy wher-
ever we wish in order to curb the
greed of local retailers. And final
ly the special privilege of holding the
home market at almost any price at
which manufacturers have through
the traffic, should be done away with.
Farmers can help to attain all of
these things, but they will never do
it by voting 'er straight" regard
less of the individual attitude of the
men for whom they VOTE Nebraska
Farmer.

FIXING PRICES

Did you Yer notice how prevalent
is the custom of limiting production
in order to maintain prices. The
steel trust, for instance, does not
continue to produce steel at reduced
prices after the market has been sup
piled at a certain fixed price. IN,
stead, the output is reduced to a
point whore the trade will take it
all at tue same old price. Other
trusts do the. same thing. When
factories might be running full time
with a fun force of hands, producing
goods to be sold at reduced prices,
they lay off half their hands or run
on only half time to reduce outbet
and hold the price level up. Prices
for goods controlled by powerful
trusts are not, then, set by com
petition, or even by the cost of pro
duction, bct by what the traffic
will bear.
Railroad men have repeatedly stat
ed that the proper basis for rate-mak-
ing is what the traffic will bear.
They have even printed arguments of
that sort and spread them broadcast
over the country. Men who have
studied the meat and live stock sit
uation know that is not supply
and demand that fixes prices for
either live stock or meat. except
within certain rather broad limits;
rather is the situation controlled by
the council room of the packers at
Chicago. Just now the coal men of

rate. One of our carriers already

counted on to be free from every
