GOVERNMENT SHOULD
PROTECT FARMERS
WITH PRICE GUARANTEE

DEAN F. B. MUMFoRD, of the
Missouri College of Agriculture, urg-
es farmers to support the reeommen-
dation of the Secretary Of Agri-
culture that a minimum price for food
crops be guaranteed by the Govern
ment.
"The farmers Of the country are be-
ing urged to exert every energy to Sc
cure maximum production Of food
crops for the prosecution Of the war;"
said Dean Mumford recently. "No
class Of citizens will be more patri-
otc than the farmers. But the farm
cr is opposed and rightly 30 to rails
ing a maximum crop and having it
pass into the hands Of spectators for
private gain and to the harm Of both
producer and consumer. The farmer
will not hesitate to produce a maxi
mum crop if he can be assured that
what he produces viii become directly
available to the Government for war
purposes, and will not be subjected
to the manipulation Of spectators in
food products.
Some farmers will not exert their
maximum effort in this crisis unless
the Government will fix a minimum
price which is not subject to ruinous
charges caused by spectators. Too
often high prices are not received by
the farmers himself, but by the
gamblers in food products.
Every farmer should favor the
recommendation of the Secretary of
Agriculture that the National Coun-
Gil Of Defense be given power to
regulate price if necessary for the
successful and efficient distribution
and marketing of food products.

HOW THE WAR TAX WILL
HIT YOU, MIR. CITIZEN

WASHINGTON, May 10. - Every
time milady touches her dainty nose
with powder puff, every time she
brings a blush to her cheek with
rouge, she will help pay the gigantic
cost of war. Likewise Mr.. Mere
Man will contribute to the billions that
are to be spent in battle every time
he touches match to stogie or takes
the wrapper off a stick of chewing
gum. The tax will amount to $33
per capita.
Take Mr.. Average Citizen, for ex-
ample. If he is a single man with
an income of $1,000 year he must
pay direct tax on that of 500 year.
If he gets $4,000 he pays $50 year;
but if more than that the rate in
creases by leaps and bounds.
Income Tax Biggest Item
When he hops into the tub for his
invigorating morning "bawth" he
must pay a tax on the soap he uses,
if any. His bald head is taxed if he
puts little hair restorer on it. If
he dyes his mustache that costs him
an additional amount.
If he is a married man earning be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 a year he
will pay a tax of 2 per cent. From
$4,000 to $4,000 the tax will be 4 pei
cent, and when his income exceeds
$4,000 he will not only pay the nor.
NAL tax of A per cent, but a surtax as
well, the amounts increasing in pro-
portion to increase of income.
Nickel Cigar Doomed
And after breakfast it doesn't make
any difference whether he takes a
cigar from the humidor or trolls a
pill" from the "makin's," he will pay
a war tax just the same. Cigarette
papers are to be taxed one cent a
hundred and cigars at cent apiece
The day of the nickel cigar is
doomed.
When Mrs. Housewife takes down
the receiver TO order the groceries
she will be taxed per cent additional
on all calls at the end Of the month
Her electric light bill will be 5 pei
cent higher. If she calls up friend
out of town, she must pay five cents
additional on every toll in excess Of
fifteen cents.

WHEAT NEVER HIGHER

I'm IhlSb
FIGURES giving yield and value of
the wheat crop Of the United States
ior 80 years have been published by
'ne United States Department Of Ag-
rIculture. This covers all the years
from 1866 to 1915. 1t shows that the
present high prices have more than
reached the level with those in the
years Immediately following the
Civil War.
During the 10-year period from
1866 to 1875 the average price of
wheat IN this country was 10s. 6 cents
.'n gold.) For the ten-year period
from 1906 to 1916 the average was
900 cents. The year 1886, in which
Ine department of Agriculture began
,'S series of continuous reports of the
important crops, marked, however,
VI ..'e nigh level of wheat. From that
.,ne' IN a number of marked fluctua-
-ons. the price dropped until, in the

lO-year period from 1886 to 1895, It
was down to 68.3 cents. The lowest
point ever reached was in 1894, when
the average was 49,. cents.
On the other hand, the average
yield per acre has been steadily in
creasing. In 1866 it was 9. bushels
and 16.9 in 1915, an increase of 7
bushels an acre. This increase, has
Of course, been marked by declines in
bad years, but the averages for the
five 10-year periods from 1866 to
1915 shows a steady increase, from
11.9 bushels, average in the decade
1S66-1875, to 1871 bushels in the de-
cade 19O6-1915.

Of Fulton, was in Mexico this week the
guest of his brother, DR.. J. F. Har-

day night addressed the City Coun-
Gil along the line of oiling the streets
which are not paved. The people of

and get most satisfactory returns
from the use of oil on the streets.

believe that quite a number of roads

and to do its work. So may we
serve not grudgingly, nor of neces-
sity, but with the good spirit of
our Christ. Amen.
