materially decreased his output be-
cause he used as little as possible of
the irresponsible labor left in the rural
districts. Will grains, meat, wool, cot
on.and vegetables go on increasing in
price? They certainly will until the
farm becomes so attractive that ambi-
tious young men will be able to make
on the farm as much as they can in
the industrial centers. Give the farm
er back his country-bred boys and he
will feed the nation and the hungry Of
other lands. But he must have the
men of brains, and character, as well
as the men Of Drawn in order to do it.
His complicated and costly machinery
cannot run itself. There has got to
be real back to the farm" movement
or rather an ending of the rush from
the country to the city. There is not
much hope of getting the city man on
to the farm, but there is great oppor-
unity of keeping worthy young men
out of the city.
- PAObSNblOlA lHG 1dIiHeTS are or
ganizing cooperative selling organi-
cations in some sections of the coun-
try. The purpose Of these is to keep
the price of farm products above the
cost of production. There is no more
reason why the farmer should sell
his stuff below cost than for monu-
facturer to do so. If it be right for a
labor organization to force higher pri-
ces for laborers and fewer hours, it is
right for farmers to combine and sell
their goods at a profit.
Self-protection thus forces the far
mer to combine and hold bread and
meat above the cost of production. The
farmer is not responsible for the in
creased cost of living. His supplies
are priced to him by those who pro-
duce them. The wages he must pay
for farm labor is set by what the la
borers can get in the city. If legit-
innate profit requires 50 wheat, zoe
hog and zoe cotton, he will have to de-
mand that price for them.
The continual increase in the price
of labor will result in the continual
increase in the cost of living.

GROW CRIMSON CLOVER

our slogan, say Cne rankin
county farmers and corn club boys is
winter cover crop on every acre
in Franklin county this fail"
There is a great shortage of crimson
clover seed this year, and our country's
good demands that that which farmers
have be used in the best possible way
for seed production.
July preparation, long continued, is
the key to success. Begin today, mois-
ture can be stored, weeds destroyed,
Hessian fly controlled, plant food
made ready for use, and the soil firm
ed by thorough preparation. The ideal
place is grain stubble, old pastures, or
meadows where the soil may be proken
with the subsoil pillow without turning,
and then disked thoroughly and often
until seeding time.
Abundant moisture is the first es-
sental, well broken soil takes in the
rainfall, A loose, thoroughly pulvir-
lied surface will hold it until seeding
time, but if crimson clover is planted
in loose soil it terminates and dies.
Early seeding is best, if moisture is
present. Take advantage of the first
seasonal rain in August, and sow II
to Is pounds to the acre. Increase the
amount of seed on the poor spots and
around the borders of the field to offset
the damage of grass hoppers. Inoc-
ulation is necessary if the ground used
has not grown crimson clover, nam
moth or red clover before.
Franklin county expects 2,400 of its
farmers to grow some crimson clover
seed, Even if the amount were only
two acres per farm it would mean a
net income Of 100000.

THE FARMER VS.. THE
HIGH COST OF LIVING
-! O. ~! !.

sfhe farmer must have more for his
stock, grain and cotton, because it
cost him more to produce them. He is
going to get more in the future be-
cause the industrial world is going to
make his farms products cost him
still more. The farmer should not be
censured for wanting cost for his fin
ished products and small profit of
5 or per cent on his investment. No
one has ever accused the farmer of
cutting rich melons in the form of %,
so or 100 per cent dividends. 1t is
well known that no class of men has
worked so hard. The vast majority of
farmers would have gotten no return
for their labor had it not been for the
constant increase in the value of their
farm lands. In the corn belt, and more
favorably located sections of the south,
the value of land has reached a figure
which requires a doubling and quad
rupling of prices of live stock and
farm products to give the owner a
bare 6 per cent on the investment.
The present owners Of this land must
get their income from what the land
produces, not from its increase in
value, for it is little at this time.
The fundamental cause, however, of
the present price of food is due to
the high price of labor. The farmers
did not set the high price. Beginning
back in 1900 first one industry and
then another announced an increase in
wages. First it was the coal miners
who got a raise. The cost of the in
crease was passed on to the consuming
public and the farmer paid his share
in the added cost of every manufac-
tured article which he purchased. The
railroads raised wages; the iron and
steel mills fell in line; the manufae-
! turing plants FASTENED to keep up with
the procession. Let this be noted: Ev-
cry increase Of wages added that
amount and more to the cost of the
output Of the mills and factories which
the consuming public pays. There was
great rejoicing at each announcement
of fewer hours and increased wages
for the laborer. The rejoicing public
forgets that someone must pay fol
this liberality of each mill and facto.
ry. We have learned that it is one
thing to laud the humanity of a set Of
directors who increase the size of the
pay envelopes Of their employees anC
quite another thing to have an extra
cost Of production handed on to US &C
pay. There has been no exception t.
the rule that an increase in cost Of
production must come from consum.
er and not out Of the pockets Of the
manufacturers. 1t is one thing for the
consuming public to rejoice when the
hours of labor are reduced to eight
but quite another thing for this same
consuming public to have to increase
working hours to compensate the class
with the greatest leisure. Up to this
time the world has not been able to
produce the things needed in the high
ly civilized nations by working eight
hours out of twenty-four.
Some classes of laborers must make
up by longer hours the time wasted
The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1917-08-10

by those who work only eight hours.
Eventually every increase of pay and
lessening Of time of work Of an class
es has had to be borne by the farmd
He has worked from twelve to sixth
hours in order to carry this ado
burden until he has reached the litit
of his endurance. He has decidedto
retaliate by increasing prices hims!lf.
He has come to himself and conclued
to place his own family on the sshe
basis as the leisure (two-thirds Ids
ure) class of his city brother. If he
people of the city can thrive on 80
work and more pay, the farmer has Ie-
cided to>try it also. 1t is very easy Ior
him to do it. He cuts down prodc-
ton and doubles, trebles or opadrubes
prices.
What has been the result of lifting
the price of labor year after year N
til in 1917 it requires 81 to So to by
the same labor that could have ben
bought in 1900 for 81? The thigs
necessary for life have risen in Ike
proportion, including what the fS%n
produces. So long as manufactured
articles, made in the cites and towns
increased in value no one seeEed
deeply concerned. Just as soon as tn,
farmer demands an adequate waeE
for himself by raising the price Of his
farms products the public becomes
alarmed. Boycotts are planned, in.
vestigating committees are appointed,
Mayors sell food at cost. All tlss
alarm is to no purpose; bread and VI
etables continue to soar because TIL
is not enough to go around. w
should there be scarcity? The all
swer is, the high cost of labor. Tie
cities and industrial centers haYe
drained the rural districts of their IL
telligent laborers. To hold men at hi
the farmer must pay city prices. He
would not mind that so much, but Ne
must pay city prices for the time Of
the thriftless fellow who is not enter
prising enough to go to the city.
The consuming public, which lis
kicking so fiercely about the cost of
food, has no idea of the conditions I'M
der which the farmer has managed to
dig out of the ground. The farmer and
the members of his family have work
worked not eight or ten hours, but
twelve, fourteen and even sixteen
hours per day. He has had to pay aity
prices for incompetent and irrespon-
sible labor.
In self-defense he has cut down the
acreage in order to reduce the number
of men needed. He prefers to curtail
his operations rather than to employ
more laborers. He finds that meh he

Former Deputy Marshal Is Now Chief of Police at
 Caldwell. Idaho

William F. Schnabel, for some time deputy United States Mar. shal under Marshal H. L. Faulk- Fner, stationed at Wrangell, and now chief of police at Caldwell Idaho. in a letter recently received by Chief of Police Harding of Ju- neau writes of his longing to re- turn to the land of the aurora borealis. Schnabel, or Bill" as he is familiarity known by a large circle of friends in the city says:
 II would te happy man if I could once more spend a few days with the "old gang at Juneau, Ketchlkan, or Nrangell. 1 often have an irresistible longing for Alaska. It is impossible to shake off the lure of the North.
 Where I am now located have friends, good climate. everything heart desires, but still I long to camp once more among the mighty mountains and rivers of the glori- ous North. l wish 1 could once again kill moose, hunt a sheep, or kill a grizzly. Man is born to kick, suppose, never satisfied. l am always restless, always want to look beyond the hill or noun tainS, always want to go where things are wild and nature is most beautiful. To camp once more in the woods near the mighty Yukon would be treat to me. What a wonderful spell is produced by the word Yukon. It recalls to me days that will never come again; it recalls hardships, hunger, poy- erty, and yet l long to try it all over again. The world will never know. never understand, what that word means to a Sourdough. l love Alaska and its people. If can't live in Idaho, I want to live in Alaska.

NORTH MAGNETIC POLE.
it Is Not a Stationary Point, but is
 Constantly Shifting.

Only the experts understand that the north pole and the north mag netic pole are two entirely y different things. As g matter of fact, there arc few localities on the earth's sur face where the compass points due north. The reason is because the north magnetic pole or area lies in the vicinity Of King Williams Land, just off the arctic coast of North America, in Bothnia.
 When this magnetic pole is be- tween us and the north pole the compass points due north. As we go either east or west from this line it is easy to sec that the compass IS off to a certain degree. If We were to travel north of the magnetic pole the needle would point south; west of it the needle would point east.
 Sir James Ross in 1881 located the north magnetic pole approxl- mately at d point up in Bothnia. In 1903 Captain Roald Amundsen in the ship Gioa set out on d three years expedition, relocated the mag netic pole and made the northwest passage" for which mariners have striven since the days of Henrs Hudson.
 E Terrestrial magnetic force is diff ferent in every part of the earth's surface and is not always the same at given point. It is subject to regular daily and yearly changes.
 Amundsen posted himself near the seat of the magnetic power and for nineteen months, day and night, with his party, took readings of their instruments. both inclination and declination. He also made short excursions into the region of the magnetic pole and was able by the aid of the declination observa- tions to prove that the magnetic north pole does not have station ary situation, but is continually moving.
 But the general location is where Sir James Ross first had the honor to place it.-Chicago Tribune.
