A Farm Puzzle

t. C. Jones was having some
fun Friday catching his "town
cousins" on a puzzler. He asked
his banker and others this ques-
ton: How many men does II take
to bind after reaper in field
with four stations-a square field
with n man at each corner to
start with. OF course all said
fonr. He contends five ana is
right. The first man starts from
the first corner with the machine
and the second, third and fourth
do likewise When the machine
has completed the first round, the
first man has about reached the
second station, hut the fourth man
has j,ist Left the fourth station, so
that there's no one at or near the
first station when the binder
STARTS on Its second round. No.
takes the first station following
the machine on the second round.
When the machine reaches the
second station No, 1 follows; at
station , NO. 3 follows at station
4 No > follows; ut station No.
4 followA Thus It will be seen
that five men are really necessary
N properly manning the reaper.

SINGLE TAX TRIED
AND FOUND BAD
John Rupert Tells OF Con-
ditions in Germ any.

Slater, oct ~. 1919
Editor Republican:
AS promised to write about the
single-tax on my return. from Ger
many now proceed to do so.
They have stopped the single tax
system since the beginning OF the
7os. Their system now Is the tax
alton OF income. Everyon pays
taxes now, even the hired man and
girl. The man that earns the moat
or has the most money pays the
most taxes. A man with family
Of children gets certain reduction
off his taxes az long as each child
Is not large enough to work, but
after they are old enough TO be OF
any help he no longer gets the re-
duction. They pay taxes every six
months, but the taxes are not a
burden, as was the single tax sys-
tenn, still they have other laws that
are very much burden to the
farmer now, will write on them
later. They blame the socialist
party for these laws, they call the
socialist party their bitter enemi g.
was told that every jew in Ger
many belongs to the Socialist par
ty. Mr.. Bebal their Socialist lead
er Is Jew. found the condition
Of factory working, men or those
with atrade far better off than the
farmer. They earn from one to
two dollars per day (our money,
on the farm they get 25c per day
and board, the women and chi.t rem
are now working In the fields as
much as the men. The farmers
say II the women and children did
not help them they couldn't keep
up. found out from men my age
and older how farmers after left
broke up under the single-tax sys-
TEN. Several OF my old friends
that had lots OF Land when I left
were broke up account OF single
tax. There was lots of people emf
grating when left but later more
left account of hard times. When
rman had to borrow money he ha 1
to go to Jew because the Chris
tians didn't have any, the Jew
would charge him n certain amount
for being kind enough to loan him
the money and then the legal in
terest for one year was kept out
and he had to give note for the
full amount, when the man finally
broke up the Jew would sell the
land to other farmers In small
pieces on credit and get hold on
more of them.
The Jews will never do any farm
ing themselves, the land had so de
preciated In value that Il was SELL
ing for only thirty dollars per acre
where now 1t sells for from two to
three hundred dollars per acre.
Now many OF my country men
have come to Missouri and worked
hard and gotten homes, we had no
help from anyone, We worked hard
to earn money to buy our land
with. Now the single tx men WI O
ever they are, are trying to take Il
away from us through taxation.
Later Twill write o. the burden
that has been imposed on the farm
ers by the socialist party and also
on the farmers organization. I
have their constitution written in
German and will. translate il.
Yours truly,
JOHN RUPERT.

PRICE .0F COPPER
 STILL GOING UP u
Producers Would Prefer to Keep Price Where Demand Would
 be Steady

The statistics for the month of March show an increase in do- nestle deliveries of about ill., O00,OOO h., slight decrease in exports, and an increase in pro- duction of about 7,00O,0OO lb., due to the fact that March has 3i days against February's 29, so that, on the whole, the pro- duction and the exports arc about the same, but the domestic con- sumption is showing signs of sharp improvement. The visible supply is now the smallest since 1907 and domestic deliveries can with reasonable safety be count cd on at about 70,0OO,OOO lib. per month for the next two or three months and it. can also be cX- pected, since the coal strike is l settled in England, that there will be revivaI in industry and that Europe ought to take GO,OOO, ,OOO to 65,00O,000 lb. per month, SO that even if the production is in creased to i35, 100000 lb. per month, the visible supply will not increase, although, personally, | expect that small decreases will take place.
 In view of this. il is difficult |" foresee anything else but high er copper prices, although the I9arkrt is now entering upon all era of prices which, if carried much further. will undoubtedly some day check inc consumption. lf the market, therefore, can be kept between iG and i6 i-2r., if Will net interfere with the con- sumption and leave d remuncra- tive profit tO the producers. I understand from the majority of the copper people that they are GoInS all in their power to keep ii'" market from getting beyond ihenl, but With most of the pro-. duc"rS sold out and the demand Keeping up, they really are DOW "rlrSS io do maIch, and il is there fore likely that, from lime Iu time, sharp bulgcS will occur when tn" market through the consum- CTS anxiety, will be carried hish- or than the producers themselves would like to sec if go. A favor hDI" influence 0n the copper mar kci which I have not mentioned before Is the fact that the en- llrr country seems tO be rrcIIn- rrallng from the depression from which Il has suffered during inc last four OF five years. The con SrrVatIVr element is bound tO dominate both of the political parties, and l do not think it. will make any difference to legitimate business interests which party is Tn power, so that the entire as- pect of the business situation is such as to make one feel opti- mistic, and that, in addition to the sound statistical position of copper, naturally makes the out look for the next few years one Of great promise to the cooper trade.--M.
