and the moss or tho trees is more lux

TO prevent the Republicans from get

cities. Now there are nearls as many
IN thr cities as in the country The
country people must raise the supplies
for all. and the production is not in
oreasing os RAPIDLY as the population
which is calling for food. Prices nat
urally go up under such conditions.
Relief In Sieht2
There seems 10 be no indication that
for the city dwellers the prices for
meat. butter. eggs. fruit and vegetables
viii be much cheaper for some time
To come. A few, ANA only a few, will
help themselves by giving more careful
attention to the garden and the chic
ken yard Some win combine In the
purchasing of supplies, cutting out part
of the middle mems profits. Much is
said of the movement back 10 the land,
but Notwithstanding all that is written
in papers, magazines and books, and
all the efforts of state and 'natura!
agricultural boards, there are fewer
going from the city To the farm than
from the farm to the city. Certain
families have been greatly benefited
by going TO ;he country, and as country
life is better understood doubtless an
increasing number will settle in tne
country.
For country people themselves the
outlook is Frightening With modern
appliances life on the farm can be
made more comfortable and proiitabie
than ever.
With a system of education that hiss
trained young people away from the
farms, through high school college and
university into the professions, at is no
wonder that SO many OF the coantry's
brightest young people have found them
Nay into the cities. The agricultural
colleges. the agri cultural high school
and the country schools are now
awakening to the fact that there must
he a system of education suitable for
country people that will make them in
telligently i'm love with the life about
! them and efficient workers In their own
sphere. Cooperative buYing and SELL
ing will make IL possible for them to
hold together and have more to say ON
the matters that concern them so in
timately
I'VE are tc have great and greater
cities-wc must have also a great and
strong rural population; then there
will be no lack for any. and the fun
rich living that all may have will be
well worth the highest cost"

some families make hard times for
