THE WIFES PART.
{ Grundy Democrat
We hear a great deal Of men VINO
make failures in life because the!
surrender to the booze habit. Booze
is 10 blame for many failures but
II is not to blame for them all. Ever!
reader can call to mind instances Oh
where men who never used liquor VINO
were surrounded with good opportuni-
ties, who were hard workers ana wac
hadn't more than the usual misioF'
tunes to contend with never could get
ahead. What is the matter with them!
The matter is in the management or
the Acknowledgement and for this the
man who IL at the head OF the family
Is by no means all to blame. Some
OF the blame and in many cases good
share of 1t can be laid against the wife.
While 1t is the husbands duty 70 lead
II Is the wife's duty to boost and the
wife who isn't booster proves drag
instead Of a help to her husband. II
YOU will look into the case Of men who
are sober and Industrious and who 90
not get ahead you will find that the
head OF the household Is very often TO
blame. The wife who uses up all OF
her husbands income no matter what
it is, is a stone around her husbands
neck and she is TO blame II he can
keep his head above water.
II you will look over the list
OF men OF your acquaintance vino aFv
doing well you will find in the largest
majority Of cases that the wife at
home is a booster and not drag and
that she is entitled to no small meas
ur. of the credit for her husbands sue
cess. When the husband and wife are
well trained TO do team work IN
country that offers the opportunities
that we have here there IL little chance
that they will not get ahead.
NO OCCASION FOR STAMPEDE.
IDes Moines Register and Leader.i
There Is every reason why the ne"
movements of Argentina beef and corn
should be studied by the American
producer But there is no reason why
increasing importations should cause
a stampede. For Argentina has oeen
raising corn and making beer TOT many
rs and this corn and beef has oeen
marketed somewhere.
/. is well 10 have in mind. especial
" in the case of beef, that the Amerl-
can producer, after all, Is bound 70
meer his Argentine or Canadian or
Mexican competitor. for one year WITH
another, the American producer Is
shipping a surplus to the European
market. and the Argentine and cana
dian and Mexican has free access 10
that market.
It is easy to mistake the meaning
of incidental changes in the market.
A shortage of crop. or foreign war.
or any one of dozen other causes'
NAV create an abnormal condition last
ing possibly through several seasons.
But. in the end, production and prices
must reach the normal level. and 1t Is
important not 20 mistake the nature
OF this movement back.
It /. a good thing for everybody. IN
the end. that prices do come back to
a normal level, however little the
beneficiary Of high prices may ap-
preciate the change while It is in prog
re.s. Moreover. it as good thing
for everybody when just as little Is
done as possible to interfere with the
creation of worldwide price level.
Tariffs should have for their justihca-
ton something more than merely
boosting prices in a restricted terri
tory Beef or wheat. or corn. or any
thing else, should be made ariicially
high only when some important utter
Tor purpose Is being served by thus
bo!stering the industry.
There ie much greater threat 10
the American producer Of both corn
and beef in the monopolization Of the
beef product OF South America by the
American packing house trust than
in the direction the export ships may
take when they leave the Argentine
seaports. For while the control OF the
beef supply by the packing houses
will mean higher prices to the con-
sumner. il viii not mean higher prices
to the producer.
The American producer has little to
fear In an unrestricted market He has
much to fear from the men who handle
his product It costs the farmer more
TO sell what he raises than 1t costs the
producer of any thing else. and there
is more speculation in his commodi-
ties and more monopolization Of Ills
market
1t is well, as we suggested before
to give careful attention to the changed
currents Of ocean shipments OF CORE
and beef. But 1t is well not to be
stampeded.
