The Webster City Freeman-Trib-
une wants the high cost Of living
reduced. Sure. But it doesn't want
the price of corn, potatoes, etc.
which are produced In Hamilton
county reduced. Oh no. OF course
not. Potatoes are staple. We all
eat meat. 1t takes corn to make
meat. We all eat meat. How are
you going to regulate it Mr.. Free
n-Tribune.-Ames Times.
Bless your dear soul, Lon, the
Freeman-Tribune was dealing in
little sarcasm. That's all. Legiti-
mate high prices are all right and
high prices are legitimate when they
represent honest profits and when
the producer gets his share. But the
Hamilton county farmer has a right
to complain when he sells butter for
Is cents a pound and that butter
brings SO to rs cents on the New
York market, as 1t did few days

port his name to this Office. The peo-
pie of Hamilton county would like

America ran the bicycle fad to

the difference in the world.

Roosevelt way, in this respect.

as this should be frowned down, as
they might lead to serious results.
The young men might have ditched
the car with serious consequences to
themselves in attempting to avoid

really in the road and they might
run over him without even attempt
