80 YEARS OLD
FOR MERCHANTS
TO THINK ABOUT

Recently furniture dealer of a
near by town happened to see a
farmer receive burlapped goods at
the depot and noticed it was from
a mail order house. He also noticed
the goods were right in his line
and the same as he carried for
years.
He Immediately approached the
farmer and said:
Il could have sold you the goods
you have here for less money than
the Chicago house and saved you
the freight
''Then, why didn't you do 500"
said the farmer. 81 have taken the
local paper for years and haven't
seen, line about your selling these
goods.
This mail order house sends adj
vertising matter to me asking for
my trade and it gets it. If you
have any bargains why don't you
put them in the paper so We can
see what they are.?''

SHOWN MUCH PATIENCE

President Wilson has shown much
patience in Mexican affairs, in the
hope AID endeavor to- avoid a con-
fGict between the two nations, but
the limit of patience has almost
been reached. In the event of war
however, it would simply be a mat
ter of exercise for us. Mexico has
no munition factories, NOR can She
obtain the necessary implements
from foreign countries; because our
Navy could effectually blockade he1
coast. In 1916 our 5000 soldiers
defeated their $4,000; completely
routed them, and cam do it again.

point to the fact that i'm 1912 Pres

needs 266.

WHITE HOUSE FALSE
TO FARMERS TRUST

One of the most desperate strug-
giles that has ever been waged be-
tween labor and capital has been
staged during the past two weeks
ton
1t is becoming clear that the
farmers of the nation were involv-
ed in this struggle far more deep
ly than they knew-and that they
found am enemy where they thought
they had friend. In view of the
lit seems only fair that farmers
should understand clearly the deter
mined and unfriendly effort which
has been put forth by President
Wilson against them and their best
interests.
First of all it should be under
stood that the railway brotherhoods,
which have planned nation wide
strike, consist of highly paid men
Perhaps five dollars per day of ten
hours would not be far from their
average wage. They are striking for
an "eight-hour day." but this does
not mean eight hours of work per
day, as it appears to mean, at all.
1t means that they want as much
money for eight hours as they now
receive for ten. Very few of them
If any, expect to work fewer hours
per day, since this is determined
by distances between division points
Instead of an average of about fif-
ty cents per hour, they are asking
slMty-twu and half cents; Or for
every dollar that they now receive,
they are demanding a dollar and a
quarter. Moreover, they refuse to
arbitrate the question but propose
to tie up the nations railroads un-
less they get it.
| In short it means that these men
are demanding an increase of pay
| OF twenty-five per cent. They may
deserve half of this, but perhaps
not more than this-nor even so
| much.
III they get it, there must be an
Increase in trans sportation rates, for
in normal times the railroads can
meet the added expense in no other
way This statement can easily be
verified for accurate records of
practically all railroad earnings are
now published at regular intervals.
F! The farmer, then, is the one who
must assume most of the new load.
Transportation charges are taken out
of what he sells and added to what
he buys. He literally gets it both
coming ard going" If the railway
trainman get their big increase in
pay, the farmers are slated to pay
by far the greater part of its enor-
nous cost.
Yet President Wilson has exerted
his utmost efforts to FORCE the
ailroads to allow the entire in
crease. He has taken his stand
against arbitrating the question ard
against any other course that would
alter the increase in pay. And worse
yet, he is really using the great in
fluence of his office in securing
from Congress a guarantee that the
| railroads shall be allowed to in
crease their rates to cover the ad-
ditional expense for labor.
! The conclusiom is inevitable. The
farmers have no friend in the Presi-
dent. He has played them false 1t
may or may not have been to get
! the union labor vote. But what does
it matter?
