"He will not object to regulating

There is no fundamentally in the
government today to ascertain the
exact cost of farm production. 1t is
necessary for the government to es-
tablish commission with sufficient
experts to determine the actual cost
and the price could be fixed only by
considering these factors.
First Duty of Congressman.
81 believe that the first duty of
your congressman is to see that the
soldiers who give their lives for lib
erty and democracy are well clothed
and fed. Second, he should not only
see that the government buys food,
clothing and other necessities at rea-
sonable prices for the soldiers in the
trenches, but that the government
makes it possible for the families of
the soldiers to buy them at the low
est price at home. Finally, l believe
that your congressman should see that
food and other profiters, the real trait
ors in this time of stress, should be
made to pay the money cost of this
war. Wealth must be compelled to pay
the money cost of the war for the
common people haven't the money to
give. But the soldiers should not be
made'to pay the immense taxes after
they return with bodies MANNED and

patriotism"

morning smiling from ear to ear, all
looking up at the 1913 banner over
the school house. Thinking the digni-
fed juniors were dead they did not
guard it even when they were told
to do so; but nevertheless the smile
faded into a frown on Friday morn
ing when the salmon pink and olive
green furled high. The seniors re-
marked that the juniors were dead
but nevertheless they have found out
there are still a few live ones.
