THE MANTEAU COMES BACK


'1f there is one more striking thar
another for the coming winter" says
Madame Paquin in an exclusive. ar
ticle .cabled from Paris especially
for the October issue OF Harper's B !
zar, ''it is the use of the dress with
the manteau-th the long, separate Goa!
of many purposes, which by its very
simplicity carries with ii a certain,
lie Manteau Royal. With rare excep-
tions this manteau has replaced the
tailored suit. The great couturiers
of Paris in this have thought alike
and have made charming not only
the manteau itself, but the frocks TO
be worn under it,"
In these days of high prices. and
when clothes especially are so expen-
sive. it is well too be sure that the
clothes you buy are in the very latest
fashion. We have noticed in our of
flee copy of Harper's Bazaar tha.
Miss f. NJ A. Steinmetz, the well.
known American fashion artist, and
Soulie and Erie, the famous Partisan
designers, are contributing their ex,
elusive creations to this magazine

AGRICULTURAL EXEMPTIONS

We understand that the district ex

men for agricultural reasons, Ralph
Jared and Bailey Jones. We further
understand that several men have
been sent to training camp who have
similar claims pending. So far as
we can learn the .nly men from Put
nam county whose claims for exemp
ton have been passed upon by the
district board are the two above nam
ed, while possibly every other county
has been attended to, at least in part
If these things be true a great injus-

THE FARMERS AND FOOD
CONTROL

An Illuminating side light on the
food situation is contained in some
expressions inserted in the Congress
sional Record recently by Senator
Smith of Michigan. These were from
farmers organizations and individual
farmers, and they without exception
endorsed the food control measures
before congress.
These expressions give us a pretty
clear idea as to whence come the
present panic prices. We are told
with great unction that this is the
first time in cur history that the
farmer has received for his products
what they were really worth.
But let us see. What is the objec+
of food control? Whence comes the
insistent demand? Plainly, the de-
mand is the direct result of food
prices that are out of all proportion
to wages and to prices in every other
li8e. Is it reasonable to believe thai
if the farmers were receiving any
thing like the present retail prices
minus, of course, reasonable per
cent of middlemen's proft-that they
would not only be willing but anx-
ious to kill the goose that lays the
golden egg?
The plain truth is, the farmer is
not benefited by the present high
prices Of food in any degree to rec
ompense him for what he is injure
by extravagant prices in other lines.
He is paying vastly more for every
purchase he makes, from plow point
to a tractor engine. What he gains
for his small profits on his sales of
food stuffs is more than offset by the
enormous increase in the cost of ev
erything that he must buy to ope-
rate his farm. This the farmers
know, and this is why they are, al
most without exception, heartily in
favor of government food control-a
control which will establish mini
mum as well as maximum price.
The speculating food pirates will
have to hunt some other scapegoat
for their sins instead of the farmer
and his Interests.
