The business Of the manufacturer
lends itself more readily to organ
ization and the facilities FOR studying
the markets are more easily avail
able. The result is that the mer-
chants are compelled 10 handle most
staple manufactured articles at very
little profit, and as consequence
the merchant must look to prducts
which he buys direct from the farm
for his profits.
The reports Of the Federal De
partment OF Agriculture show some
very interesting information ard en-
able a comparison between the cost
Of marketing products Of the farm
and those Of the factory. a few items
will serve to illustrate the general
run. The cost Of getting sugar from
the refinery 10 the consumer is 9
cents on the dollar; the cost OF get
ting tobacco from the factory to the
consumer is II cents on the dollar.
In selling a dollars worth OF eggs
the middlemsn gets a profit OF 80
cents on the dollar. III selling q
dollars worth Of potatoes, the mid
deman makes 20 cents on the dollar ;
in selling a dollars worth OF fruit,
the middl-man gets 81 cents on the
dollar, and on cantaloupes SO cents.
Farmers Bulletin No. $40, pub
lished by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, in discussing
this subject, said:
"The high price paid by consum-
en, ranging from 8 to 500 per cent,
in some cases. more than the farmer
receives, indicates that there 10 pien-
" of room for lowering the cost OF
farm products to consumers and n
the same time largely increasing the
cash income per farm, without in

EMPLOYERS ASSOCIATION
GIVES OUT DECLARATION
win Fight the Principle of the Closed
ShOp-Said to be Un-Amer-
lean and Illegal

The Employers Association oil
Washington, representing practically
every large and hundreds Of small en-
ployers Of labor, has adopted the fol-
lowing declaration of principles:
1--WE believe in harmonious indus
trial relations between employer and
employee. and that the latter shall re-
ceive adequate compensation and
timely advancement for his services,
measured by his individual efforts. We
shall not countenance any employer
who does not pay a fair days wages
for fair days work. Nor any en-
ploye who shirks a fair days work for
a fair days pay.
I'VE are unalterably opposed to the
principle of the closed shop. 1t is un-
American and illegal and unfair to
the independent workman who does
not desire to join union, to the en-
ployer who prefers to operate an open
shop, and to the public. Therefore,
we shall defend the right of every
workman to be free to dispose of his
time and skill advantageously, and we
shall maintain the right of every en-
ployer to conduct an open shop.
I'VE are strenuously opposed to
lockouts, strikers, sympathetic strikes,
boycotts, and kindred evils. We will
resist those selfish interests with thor
ough coercion. False statements and
violence disrupt the relations OF peace

Do Not Drink
Is Our Advice

II you can't get along entirely
without it, then our advice is use
the best and purest. 1t is the
least harmful at least.
We also advise you not to use
tobacco. If you can not get along

our advice is, use the best that can
be had, and under no circumstances
indulge your appetite to excess.
To eat too much is injurious like

Our wines and liquors, being
pure and wholesome, are very ex-
cellent for cooking purposes.
Than our cigars, none are better.

Edinburgh. Oct. 1s.-special gov
eminent agents shortly after mid
night raided a factory building occu-
pied by German firm and arrested
all the occupants. The building, 1t
was stated. dominated the Edinburgh
Rosyth naval base and the bridge
across the Firth Of Forth.
Inside Of the structure the govern
ment officials found a secret wireless
telegraph set of the most powerful
character. They also made the inter-
esting discovery that. while the fac
tory was bare of the machinery that
would be necessary for use, 1t was
one of the strongest concrete struc-
lures ever built in the city. In every
way. according to the report, the
building was reinforced and there
were several places which seemed to
have been built in a manner suitable
Tor gun mounts.
The officials declare that the build
ing was similar in every way to the
structures found in Belgium and
France, which had been constructed
especially by German agents and were

There can scarcely be any other rea-

Peronne right to immortality by dy-
