PROBLEM OF CITY
Farmers Not Worried About
High Cost of Living.
Waters Wants Agriculture
Taught in City Schools.

Maryville, Mo-, Oct. 2S.-Scarcity of
farmers and the resultant high cost OF
living is the problem of the city man
rather than that of the farmer, DIR.
Henry Jackson Waters, president of
the Kansas State Agricultural college,
said in an address at the Home and
Farm Institute at the state Normal
school here today. Doctor Waters
pointed out that lin truth the farmer
is the only person in all the country
who does not suffer from this cause.
and urged that city schools include the
teaching of agriculture in their cur
riculum.
"a situation in which there are too
few producers cannot help being high
ly satisfactory to those who are en-
gagged in production, just as situation
in which there were too few grocers
would be entirely satisfactory to those
engaged in the grocery business" he
said. "Such situation would be I'M
satisfactory to the user of groceries,
just as the present situation is unsat-
isfactory to the consumers of agricul-
tural products, the people of the city
The Man Who Buys.
''It is therefore, the man who buys
the products of the farm who is pri-
marily, and almost solely, interested
in having a sufficient number of peo-
pie on the land. He is quite as much
interested, also, IN the kind of people
who till the soil as he is in the num-
Der of such people.
teach agriculture in the city school as
that we make it part of the course of
study for country children. City
children should not be required to
study the details of plant and animal
production but they should be
taught that they will have an interest
in, and a general understanding Of,
these basic industries.
An Age Old Problem
I'VE fall into an error when we as
sumo that we are the first to meet the
problem of high cost of living" Doct r
Waters continued. 1.-THE problem is as
old as civilization and has intruded it
self as a serious factor into every
civilization that has preceded ours.
Plenty of food for everyone at a low
cost is the newest thing under the SILL
and it also has been among the most
transitory of things
Doctor Waters pointed out that
the American farmer is a bushes IS
man, and not merely a laborer, and
that he is entitled to a reward as such.

this advice.
An advertising manager of one of

who shop for the fun of it cost his
store $50, 900 year-mostly by vast
ing the time of clerks" A depart

less public institution. The public need
not give account Of themselves but can
walk throughout the aisles, examine
goods, price the same, try on and even
order delivered certain articles with no
slightest thought of retaining the
same. Indeed, the largest stores have
a force employed to do nothing else
than attend to the return of previously
delivered articles that didn't fit or
were found to be unsuitable Those
