Since the first of the year, 65 new drug
stores have sprung up in King County,
according 80 county officials. A good
many of these have been established in
the city.
''All these new drug stores cannot be
supported legitimately.
"No man can conscientiousIy or in rea-
son believe all of them are on the square.
There is no use beating about the
bush. Great quantities Of liquor are
being sold-and some of the old drug
stores, as we'll as some Of the new ones,
are making farce of the Prohibition

The effect Of the bootegger's booze s something

There is a reason for this. The booze that men

EMBARGO AND HIGH PRICES

Congressman FitZgerald's purpose
to press for an embargo on food pro-
ducts will run counter to the Presi-
dents ideas; but it is not the first
time that Mr.. Wilson has found him
self at outs with the Brooklyn leader
If the embargo should be laid, it
would afford an immediate and un-
answer to the question.
what is the cause of high prices?
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1916-12-14

Out west where wheat is high, the
Democrats have always claimed the
credit for the Wilson administration
Down East, where bread is high, they
lay it to the war in Europe. Mr.
Fitzgerald thinks the latter is the
cause of it all, evidently, and If he
can stop the expectation of food stuff
overseas we can all tell mighty quick
wether it is the wartime trade that
causes us all to dig down so deep for
the neceSSarieS

He was a boy and he dreamed
dreams of farming. He had to hustle
up prairie hay all winter for steers,
with storms. bad roads. and all kinds
of hardships before him. But he
dreamed of a farm with broad acres
and mammoth barns where he could
feed steers out of the storm. Now he
has them. They came hard and slow
ly but the dream is materializing
Possibly the grind of bringing the
dream to pass has dulled the bright
ness somewhat but the honest pride
of accomplishment makes up for IL.
II is ever the dream of youth that
makes the accomplishment of matur-
thy. Sometimes il seems like many
youngsters are spending their youth
now without dreams worth while. but

one reason why some men go way
ahead of Others in life.

There is sentiment among certain
classes of city folks that farm pro-
ducts are selling too high and that
they can force the price lower. In
prominent organizations a movement
is on foot to boycott milk. butter and
eggs. An effort is being made to get
an embargo placed on wheat eXporta-
ton. They will not affect the market
any but the sentiment is wrong. Farm
products are not too high considering
current yield, and the high prices Of
other things. The truth is that farm
products in this country have been too
cheaply so long people sQuirm when
the prices of farm product get up in
line with the products of other indus

For three years now we have been
trying some crossbred hog for grow
Il ing pork. We have been using pure
bred duroc sows and hampshire boars.
Every time the crossbred pigs out
grew the purebred ones and been
stronger and healthier. One nice
thing about this cross is that the pigs
are all marked like purebred hamp-
shires and so make a fine looking
drove compared to the speckled effect
that one gets so often in crossing, If
one can hold himself to the first cross
and not try to crisscross in every way.

Feeding grain to livestock this fall
is speculative business. Grain can be
cashed any day but livestock that are
being fed cannot be turned off until
they are ready. Under these condi-
tions it is little wonder that the bulk
of farmers are turning their hogs off
light and cutting out the cattle feed
ing when there is sure opportunity
of big returns from cashed corn. High
priced corn is sure to reduce the num-
Der of brood sows kept and so make
light mig crop for another year AS
far as hogs are concerned I believe
II is a good time to stay in the game
in spite of high prices.
