REASONS FOR HIGH PRICES
After Consideration Of Elements Il 10
Plain Farmer is Not Getting More
Than HIs Share.

From the details that have been
presented with regard to the increase
Of the prices Of farm products be-
tween farmer and consumer, the con-
clusion is inevitable that the coz
sumer has no well-grounded complaint
against the farmer for the prices that
he pays. The farmer supplies the
capital for production and takes the
risk Of his losses; his crops are at the
mercy Of drought, and food. and heat.
and frost. to say nothing Of noxious
insects and blightins diseases. He
supplies hard. exacting. unremitting
labor. A degree and range Of infor.
nation and intelligence are demand.
ed by agriculture which are hardly
equaled in any other occupation. Then
there is the risk Of overproduction
and dIsastrously low prices. From
beginning to end the farmer must
stear dextrously to escape perils te
his profits and indeed to his capital
on every hand. At last the products
are started on their way to the con
sumer. The railroad, generally speak.
ing. adds a percentage Of increase tc
the farmers prices that Is not large.
After delivery by the railroad the
products are stored short time. are
measured into the various retail guam.
titles. more or less small. and the
dealers are rid Of them as soon as
possible. The dealers have risks that
are practically small. except credit
sales and such risks as grow out Of
their trying to do an amount Of busi
ness which is small as compared with
their number.
After consideration Of the elements
of the matter. 1t Is plain that the
farmer is not getting an exorbitant
price for his products, and that the
cost OF distribution from the time Of
delivery at destination by the railroad
to delivery to the consumer Is the
feature Of the problem Of high prices
which must present itself to the con
sumer for treatment.
Why do not consumers buy directly
from the farmers? A distribution ol
farm products in this simple way hai
already begun in England. where CO
operative organizations Of farmers are
selling by direct consignment to co
operative organizations Of consumer,
In cities.
Farmers cooperative selling asso
Citations are numerous In this country
but cooperative buying associations
among the people Of cities and town.
are few. Aside from buying associa
tions maintained by farmers. hardly
any exist In this country. 1t is ap
parent, therefore, that the consumer
has much to do to work out his owl
salvation with regard to the price,
that he pays. Potatoes were selling
last spring In some places where ther,
had been overproductlon for 20 cent
and In some places for even cent?
per bushel at the farm. while at thu
same time city consumers In the cas-
we're paying so to rs cents per bushel
although there was nothing to preven
them from combining to buy car
load or more OF potatoes directly from
the grower and for delivery directl!
to themselves.

Horns on Steers.

i've learned my little lesson" said
shipper who had carload Of horned
steers on the market when he had to
sell them below their real value. "I'll
take the horns of everything before II
goes into the feed lot next time. The
horns are no good to the cattle. and
they have cost me $40 on this bunch
alone"

BABE DIES IN ARMS
OF Foster Mother as She
Was Leaving Train.

While passing through this city on
Pennsylvania train No. 10, shortly at
ter noon Thursday, the foster child of
Mrs. Margaret Brown. OF Lowell Ariz.,
was attacked with cholera infantum.
When the train reached Logansport,
the mother decided that it was COM
pulsory to take the babe to a physi-
clan, and as she stepped from the
coach the three-months.old infant died
in her arms. AS the illness was not
thought serious the child was not tax
en- to a physician here.
Such is the summary of one Of the
most unusual and pitiful incidents
with which local railroaders have wit
messed. The child, who as the foster
mother informed them, was nameless
and homeless, probably hundreds of
miles from parents, whose names are
unknown, was buried in the potter's
field at Mt. Hope, near Logansport.
The body of the infant was abandoned
by the foster mother, who through
force of circumstances was obliged to
leave 1t to be buried by public charity,
while she continued her journey. The
woman was travelling to Chicago. be-
fore returning to her Arizona home.
When the baby was attacked with
the illness the foster mother was at
q loss to know what to do. The train
crew was appealed to and it was ar
ranged to stop at Logansport where
the child could be taken to a physician
The distance to that city was too
great, however, and the child died on
arrival there.
Mrs. Brown was in despair and the
infant, while not her own, was one to
which she said she was becoming at
tached. She was not financially able
to ship the body on to her home, SO
she was forced to leave it even before
arrangements could be made for the
funeral.

PROVIDENCE. r. l.. Sept 9.-The

Congregational church circles Df this
city are greatly stirred over the an
nouncement that Mr.. Lambert tied the
wedding knot. Mrs. Lambert, the wife
of the minister, has fled from her
home to escape the army of reporters
who are besieging her doors and ring
ing her 'on the telephone. Henry W.

RODGERS REACHES KANSAS CITY
Aviator Makes Spectacular
Entry to City.

Kansas City, Missouri.-The first
Trans Continental flyer landed in Kan
sas City on his air journey from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. And the bird
man, Calbraith P. Rodgers, gave Kan
sas City an arial thrill the like of
which it never had experienced be-
FORE He braved the treacherous air
currents that eddy about the Missouri
river bluffs and the tall buildings of
Kansas City, something no aviator
ever has done before, and landed safe
ly at Swope park after circling over
the city and the two rivers.
The landing place was small
roped-off plot of ground about 200
yards from the shelter house on the
golf links, and Rodgers made the
gentle descent, landing on the ground
within a few feet of the ropes which
separated him from the crowd. The
landing was made almost without
a sound.
