Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1913-08-28

The carpenter is dressmaker who
works in lumber His job Is to cut
out and haste together the materials
for house and to fit it to the family
which is to wear It.
Carpenters are born, not educated.
1t requires q specially designed eye
to steer saw across q twelve inch
board without allowing 1t to wander
on the way like lodge member re-
turning from initiation. A carpenter
can take q wagon load OF lumber and
work it up into gothic barn without
wasting anything but the sawdust,
whereas If an amateur were to try TO
build dog house from the same
wagon load he would have to steal
piano box and part of his wife's flour
bin in order to piece out.
The badge OF the carpenters pro-
fession Is a rag around his left hand
thumb. He is quiet man who goes
not talk much but who loves to get
up shortly after sunrise and produce
a riot with his hammer and saw. TWO
carpenters building q barn can pro-
duce chorus which can be heard oil
over a ward but nobody minds It.
The song of the carpenters saw is
the anthem of prosperity and when
the carpenter loafs and his small son
uses his chisels to dig fish worms the
census returns of that city are not
worth gathering.

THE CARPENTER
BY GEORGE FITCH

The carpenter lives wild, free life
on the ridge poles and caves like a
cat and likes nothing better than to
fill his face full of shingle nails and
put new lid on a house of q prom
inent citizen. Nothing fills the COM
mon citizen with more awe than to
see carpenter drive large low
proved nail into the side OF q house
without using guides or sights. A
carpenter can drive nail six inches
into a beam with five blows but an
amateur can do better than that. He
can drive it forty-two feet in an oh.
lique direction with one wild swat,
Carpenters make from 81 to S a
day and go home at five O'Clock leav-
ing q lath hanging in the air without
visible means of support. Unlike
they take their va
cation in the winter. After a carper-
ter has waited for three months for
weather which will allow him 10 get
out on scaffolding and work without
freezing his ears, he sometimes wish
es he wes q banker or some othcr
least Of surde4.
A bright hoy w':l true eye can
become carpenter III fonr nr five
years. Other people can learn tn,
trade in from 100 to 400 years, provid-
ing good natured public gives them
enough houses and timber to practice
upon.

ROAD BUILDING

That was, and is, most valuable
object lesson, that Governor Major ana
those 100000 odd Missourians gave
the country In whkat could be done by
concerted effort In road building.
More than a million dollars worth OF
improvements are estimated to be &C.
complished.
or course any one who has ever,
travelled through the back country OF
the Show Ne" state will agree that
the roads needed it. But so DO the
roads of Indiana and every state IN
this union. "A million dollars worth
of work on the roads Of every state
in the union, would make a world OF
difference.
The biggest factor in the cost Of
The products of American farms is the
transportation factor, the cost of get
ting goods to market by road, train and
boat. Many farmers have grown dis
couraged because of the fact that there
seems 80 little direct return for their
labor and do not begin to supply the
Immediate needs of great markets
nght at their doors. Foodstuffs have
to be hauled hundreds and thousands
OF miles to those markets at great ex-
pense and consequent boosting OF the
already high cost Of living.
Good roads means cheaper products
to every consumer and better prices to
every producer. You can't get
around 1t.
So when Gov. Major isues his in
vitation next year to the other gov
ernors over the country to make

THE SITUATION.

Appropos the tariff legislation being
made by the democratic party, 9. b.
Kegley, master of the washington
State Grange has the following to say:
Make no mistake-we are face to
face with the entire removal OF the
D elective tariff from farm products.
In my Judgment, there is no escape
from this conclusion, and the thing
for us to do is to meet the issue fairly
and squarely.
AS a system, protection is doomed.
II we as farmers, stand for it, we
shall lose our share, and the public
believing that 1t has secured relief
from the burden of living cost. will
step there causing whatever Of loss
occurs to fall upon the farmer. Con-

TEMPORARY SLUMP IN HOGS.

The cholera scare has again gained
q foothold in the corn belt. In western
Illinois and eastern Iowa there seems
to have been considerable loss from
this disease, and there have been re-
ports for some time coming from
many districts of heavy losses among
spring pigs. This has caused general
lack of confidence, and as result
many thin sows and small pigs have
been sent to market Sharp declines
have consequently occurred, as this
kind Of stun is decidedly lacking in
finish and quality. The choice light
weights which have been selling at the
top quotation have suffered the least,
but the outlet for this class through
the eastern butchers is curtailed be-

COST OF LIVING ON BAD ROADS.

How states and counties are putting
money In the pockets OF the farmers :

ture. Definite cases are cited IN sup,

roads prevail farmers are forced 70

Two farmers living in separate

able road conditions. The rise ~
price gained profit OF - TO one man
and 81 to the neighbor. ;.
It is shown in the statement tnat !.
IA common for the farmer to ma tnat
he cannot haul his produce to market
when prices are highest, because tne
roads are impossible. When the
roads become passab3e, the time TOT
markets has largely passed, and pro-
duce Ia compelled to move IN masses
which frequently gluts the market
and breaks the prices.
Excessive fluctuations IN marKe'
prices are seldom due to over-proouc-
ton. They frequently take place IN
raoions where the local production
does not equal the annual consume
ton. There are counties right IN agri-
cultural possibilities, burdened with
had roads, where the annual income
shipments of foodstuffs excel the
outgoing shipments In the ratio OF
four I'd one. Many such counties Win
improved roads could not only Do
come self-supporting, but could snip
nroducts 10 other markets.
A farmer in Sullivan county, Tenn,
a few miles from Briston. had LOU
bushels OF Irish potatoes which ne
intended to market during the winter
Of 1sO7-19OS. Owing to bad roads, ne
was unable to haul the potatoes at
all and they rotted in the cellar.
Nevertheless, the price Of potatoes at
Bristol went as high as $l.4O per.
h,,shel IN the meantime. A Bristol
merchant stated that during the win
ter "A many as ten carloads OF farm
produce, including wheat, potatoes
and other supplies, were daily shipped
IN to feed not only Bristol, but the ad-
iacent Missouri and Kansas
Farmer.

sequently the businesslike course open
is for the farmer to fight, not to con-
tinue the system, but to smash it!
Fight, not to hold his own question
able benefits Of tariff on grain and live
stock and wool. but to strip the coat Of
privilege OF from the back OF every
business engaged In supplying the
necessaries Of life. ;. /. The time to
cure the whole diseased system has
come and the proper medicine is the
az. Let us stand steadfast to this
and appeal to farmers everywhere to
Join with us and wipe every tariff
privilege OF the statute books now
and forever.

This demOralized market can Do Only
of a temporary nature. When the
stricken districts have cleaned up, the
supply will drop, and prices Will ad-
vance again and 60 higher than they
would have if the run had not occurred,
