THE COST OF LIVING

The bureau of labor has found that
during the past year the average
wholesale price of farm products has
increased seven per cent, and that
the wholesale price of PSF other com
modities has increased four per cent
in the same period of time. The price
of lumber and building materials has
also appreciably increased.
In Democratic quarters there is a
disposition to charge this increase to
the Payne tariff law, but as a matter
of fact most of the articles in ques-
tion carry a lower duty under this law
than for many years past.
The true cause of the increase un-
doubtedly lies in the fact that our
consumption has increased much fast
er than our production. The last cen
sus showed that for the preceding de-
cade the movement of population had
been from the country to the cities,
and in no other section was this fact
so marked as in the great agricultural
state of Iowa, which actually de-
creased in population. In this manner
hundreds of thousands of producers
Joined the ranks of the consumers.
However, if the price of commodi-
ties has increased, and of this fact
there is little room for doubt, the cost
of production has increased cores
pondingly, with the result that the
farmer is making no more money than
formerly. During the past 20 years
wages of no class of labor has increas.
ed so rapidly as those of men employ
ed on the farm, and each succeeding
year the farmer finds it more difficult
to secure help.
Friends Of the Canadian reciprocity
idea claim that the remedy of present
conditions lies in the adoption by con.
gress of that measure. While it's pas.
sage would without doubt decrease the
cost OF living, it would strike a blow
at the American farmer, who is the
backbone OF the country, and who must
be in the enjoyment of a reasonable
state of prosperity before the balance
OF the nation can hope to become pros
porous.
The remedy rather lies in more in
tensive farming. By the slipshod
methods used at present by DOR agri-
~culturists, the land does not produce

Washington, the father of his country
and it's first president. The spot
chosen is at Valley Forge-a most

more signally displayed than at Valley
Forge, during the dark winter Of 1717-

"A cup for hope!" she said, t
In springtime. ere the bloom was old;
The crimson wine was poor and cola
By her mouths richer red.
"A cup for love!" how low,
How soft the words; and all the while
Her blush was ripping with smile
Like summer after snow.
"A cup for memory"
Cold cup that one must drain alone;
While autumn winds are up and moan
Across the barren sea.

medicine contains the splendid medic

the intestines while rhubarb, equally
effective, has a tonic effect OF the en-

other laxative for children. The taste
Is very pleasant.

mother, was, Who will chop wood
for ma now"
But when Charley got we'll he learned
to chop wood with that stump. He
learned to do other things, and when
he was 20 people came miles to see him
do the work of a ~two-handed man.
HE can load sand as quickly as
we can, and he can beat us all driv-
ing" a teamster exclaimed when |
wandered down to the Mississippi
river to watch Sunderland load his
sand wagon.
When he grew up Sunderland saved
enough money hauling wood to buy a
team. Now he has two teams and does
the biggest teaming business in Alton.
1t is wonderful the way he drives,
with the lines over his shoulder,
wrapped around his half arm. He can
navigate all the turns and twists, up
hill and down, as well as any team
ster with the proper equipment Of
arms and hands.
The day l vas with him he was
driving a blind team. neither of the
horses could see six inches ahead, and
yet their armless driver guided them
along the precipices of the upper Alton
road smoothly and without "cussing,' -
He says II takes his mind off his work
to swear at the horses.
Years ago Sunderland married a wild
ow with five babies, all of whom he
fathered until they went out into the
