Consumer Also Needs Help.

MT. Editor: Just at present there
 seems to be considerable anxiety to
 help the farmers. What is the trouble
 with the farmers, that they need so much help? Let us see what the sec
 retary of agriculture has to say. He says the farmers get for their own use less than one-half of what they pro-
 duce. From the department of labor we get the information that the labor
 CTS get only -flfths of what they produce. Putting the two together, it appears that the farmers and other producers are both in the same box. It is true, the wage earners are better organized to resist than the farmers. but the organizations of both are do- ing nothing to stop it. It may be true that they think they are, but they are not The cost of living continues to rise, and this is the one great cause of so much discontent Common sense and reason would point out the course to pursue would be to stop taking away from the farmers and wage earn CTS the three -f1fths that they produce and by all justice belongs to them. Until the high and higher cost of liv- ing Is changed, the discontent will con- tinue to grow. To reduce the cost of living, 1t is not necessary to reduce present prices of commodities. This may seem strange and sound stranger but it Is true just the same. To illus trate, we will take farmer and a me chantc. The farmer must have a blow to till his land. The mechanic must have food while making the blow. The farmer, now, sells his wheat for 40 cents, which the mechanic pays $1 for. The mechanic, now. gets 40 cents for making the blow, which the farmer pays S1 for. You see, each one gets 4o cents fer his product and each one pays $1 for the others product. The man who bought the farmers wheat fer 4o cents and sold it to the mechan- ic for s1 made 156 per cent and if the same man bought the blow of the mechanic for 40 cents and sold it to the farmer for $1 made another 150

I Hurrying her feet into her pumps
 and brushing her bronze locks into some semblance of order, she plodded
 down the stairs and into the base
 ment dining room. She snifed at the soup with offended nostrIs. The
 Browns cook made such excellent soup
 that tears of disappointment filled Miss Harwood's eyes.
 While Miss Harwood was critically | sipping the Brownstone soup Mrs. | Howard was mounting the stone steps l of the Channing- Browns beautiful home. A puzzled frown wrinkled her | forehead. The house was dark Not a ! light anywhere.
 l She rang the bell and it echoed | through the house lonesomely. She waited a few minutes now and again
 ringing the bell and peering under the i blinds. She was at last forced to con- | clude that there was no one at home. l Had they meant for her to dine with | them downtown, instead of at their
 home? No, surely not. There must be some dreadful mistake.
 l With bitter disappointment Mrs.
 Howard trotted back the several blocks to the Brownstone and entered the l dining room as Miss Harwood was fin
 ishing her custard.
 Why, good evening, Mrs. Howard" !" i Miss Harwood said. You are very late this evening, aren't you?" Mrs. Howard wanted sympathy, so she poured into the ears of the surpris- ed Miss Harwood the tale of her dis | appointment. My friend said to come
 to dinner this evening. and I said I
 would be over at once and when I got there the house was as dark as pock- ct, so I hurried back so that I would
 n't miss dinner altogether. I just can't ! understand it. It Is such a treat to ] dine at their home, for Mrs. Brown has a perfectly splendid cook"
