THE FARMER AND rhe HIGH
 COST OF LIVING.

America will never again be the home nf a rural people" says pr. Bai,ey. dean of Cornell Agricultural College. in discussing the high cost of living The farmer himself is a vic tim uf the forces that bring about ex- cessive prices. He does not set the price for his products. There is a mighty bis margin between the price the consumer pays for food and ths, which the producer receives"
 pr. Bailey planes the iariff in large part for the movement to the city from the farm, and adds that the tarifl may aid the farmer. but it aids speois. privileges first and to a greater extent
 As result" he says, boys and girls are more and more attracted to professions and the trades and are leaving the farms never to return
 This Is d gloomy outlook. which does not eomport with the glowing accounts of the prosperity of farmers in the West. where farming is conducted as a science.
 At the same time the farmer would. of course become more prosperous and the consumer enjoy greater pur- chasing power if the country had the benefit of reciprocity and food neees- sites were not under the control of monopolies.
 Reciprocity we shall have in time. and the problem of trust control will be solved by municipal markets such as are now in successful operation in Des Moines and Indianapolis.

DISCUSSION
AT WASHINGTON
Much Speculation Over the
Cabinet Appointments
to Be Made
ATTORNEY-GENERAL
TO BE BUSY MAN
Work Of This Office Has In
creased Greatly in Last
Few Years

Washington, ID. G., Dec. 28.---Certain
new cabinet officials will have certain
robust responsibilities upon their Shout
ders when they qualify in March under
the Wilson administration For that
reason there is no question here whetb-
err the president elect may not conclude
to select these officials well in advance
of his Inauguration. This would give
the men an opportunity not only to ar
range their affairs but likewise to 60
into training. This is particularly true
Of the Office of attorney general Al
most everybody knows how that cab
met member has doomed up in addition
al prominence in recent years as prose-
eutor. The department of justice, which
In earlier days was chiefly occupied in
a sort OF supervisory capacity over uni
ted district attorneys throughout the
country, with a case now and then be-
fore the supreme court, is now mighty
factory for investigation of trust cases,
preparation of papers and presentation
of evidence and arguments in court.

or these matters OF comprehensive lit
igation Mr.. Wickersham, of course,
will step down and out on March 4, but
some man must come in his stead as
boss" OF the place. From him the
learned lawyers viii take their cue for
the conduct of legal work entrusted to
them. 1t hardly need be said that most
Of these lawyers, whether their politics
suits the new administration or not,
must be retained. There are numerous
assistant attorney generals and special
attorneys, whom the government cam
not turn out of office.
Therefore it is that the new attorney
general in the very nature OF things
should have warning. There are few
great lawyers in the country whom Mr..
Wilson is likely to call into his cabinet
that would not need considerable time
brushing up and getting into trim.
Ordinarily when there is a change OF
new officials must devote
! month or two to. making themselves
eel at home in their places. 1t sim
ply has to be that way. Most of the
departments are so we'll and thorough

TWO DROP DEAD
WITHIN AN HOUR
Guy S. Mott and John Aver, Both Aged
Claremont Men, Were the
Victims.

Claremont, N. H., Dec. 26,--Guy S
Mott, aged 80 years, dropped dead at his
home on Green street, Tuesday morning
shortly after I o'clock.
Mr.. Mott had not been feeling well
but had been able to do his chores, and
Tuesday morning he MIXED his cows and
separated the milk but when the break
fast bell rang he did not respond and
investigation found him breathing his
last on the floor beside the separator.
He came here about fourteen years
ago. He had been married three times
and had several children by his second
wife, all of whom are dead. He had been
living on the farm and his sister, Mrs.
Harriet Bancroft has been keeping house
for him. His other sister resides in Cor
nish and is Mrs. A. Guild.
John Aver, aged 6s years. dropped
dead Tuesday morning about 0 o'clock.
Mr.. Aver had been ailing OF late, but
had been able to be about. That morn
ing he arose and was putting on bis
stockings when he fell on the floor from
his side of the bed on which he was sit
ting
Mr. Aver was born in Newburg, in
ls47 and about AZ years ago he married
Elvira Dole of this town, who with seven
five boys and two daughters
survive him.

Try This Hor1e.Made
Cough Remedy
Costs Little, HUT Docs the Work
Quickly, or Money Refunded.

Mix one pint of graduated sugar with
h pint Of warm water, and stir Tor =
minutes. Put 2la ounces OF Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in n pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. Take teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours.
You will find that this simple rem
edy takes hold of cough more quickly
than anything else you ever used. Usu-
ally ends n deep seated cough inside
of "a hours. Splendid, too, for whoop-
ing cough, Group, chest pains, bronchi-
It's and other throat troubles. 1t slim
ulates the appetite and is slightly lax
alive, which helps end cough.
This recipe makes more and better
cough syrup than you could buy ready
made for $3.50. 1t keeps perfectly and
tastes pleasantly.
Pinex is the most valuable concern
trated compound of Norway white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and all
the natural pine elements which are so
healing to the membranes. Other prep
arations will not work in this formula.
This plan of making cough syrup with
Pinex and sugar syrup Tor strained
honey has proven so popular through
out the United States and Canada that
1t is often initiated. But the old sue.
cessful formula has never been enunled.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this recipe. Your druggist has Pinex or
will get IL for you. If not, send TO The
Pinex Co., TT. Wayne, Ind.
