THIS IS THE LIFE.

The farmer is the only real neces-
sary man on earth, the only man
whose products the race must have or
perish. Wealth must pay any price
the farmer asks for his wares; for
there are no substitutes for them, no
other articles just as good, and wealth
that cannot buy them has no value.
Why is it therefore that the farmer
Is not the worlds aristOcrat, for
tunes pampered favorite, the pluto
crat, the best paid worker in the
world? Why is it that when labor is
the basis of all wealth more of it
does not stick to his own fingers
Why do the middlemen, the traftick-
ers, the handlers Of his products, the
nOn-producer, the parasites make all
the notable fortunes? Why are men
who cater to debased or abnormal
appetites more prosperous than those
who minister to the normal, proper
more money in making some sort of
intOxicant than in making butter,
more profit in selling corn cutters,
peppers, shelters, than in selling
corn? In other words, why is it not
the farmer, who holds the rest OF us
in the hollow of his hand and could
squeeze us t. extinction any moment,
the most feared and cOurted, oP@ient
and powerful member of the human
family?
A farmer may lose a crop, but COM
plete and undeserved disaster rarely
if ever overtakes him. He does not
lose his living or his land, if he is
well balanced. His environment and
work give him the conditions con-
ducive to moral and physical growth,
and tend to make him reflective, pOis-
ed and self-reliand. His needs being
supplied and his future as assured as
any mans can be, he Is under less
temptation than men in many other
caIIings TO commit petty depredations.
lie does not have to steal small sums,
and having no chance to steal big

AUTOMOBILE THIEVES.

Stealing automobiles has become a
very popular form of thievery. The
thieves are becoming very expert al
the game. In Los Angeles county
California, the stolen machines aggre-
gate $50, 700 to $1,000 in value in a
year. All over the country an in
crease in this form of crime is re-
ported.
The motor stealer is the modern
successor to the horse thief, who, in
primitive days, was considered the
lowest kind of a crook and was
promptly suspended from the nearest
tree.
1t is claimed the thieves are able to
Obliterate all distinguishing marks
yet it would seem as if each machine
could be given some identifying mark
that could not be destroyed.
The great difficulty of detecting this
form Of crime is that the machine can
he taken to distant states, where they
are sold to dealers without difficulty.
liz a. stranger comes into garage IN
some large city and offers car at
what is clearly low price the dealer
lis uot disposed to question too close
1y He can see that he is getting a
bargain, so it is TO his interest to
buy 1t may yet be necessary to
THAR nWnpTCh n
before a sale can yet be legal.
People will leave a machine on
crowded streets for hours unprotect-
ed by any form of locking. Any per-
son familiar with motor operation
could take them any time with slight
risk; but people hate to lose an extra
minute to secure their machines, OF
are absorbed and absent minded.

LET'S HAVE A REAL ONE!

The Federal Trade Commission is
about to start an investigation Of the
rise in food prices. 1t will ask the
President to approve an appropria-
ton of 100000 for that purpose. 1t
propose to cover every side of the
food situation.
! Good! Let US hope at last we are
going to have a real investigation
The country has confidence in the
Federal Trade Commission. Now
let's have the facts. Let's go to the
bottom-to the fundamentals-and
really learn all that can be learned
about the subject.
! The problem is legal and economic.
The question of whether there are
combinations in restraint Of trade
must be decided. That has hereto
fore attracted the main attention
Now it's time to go more into the
economic part-and go into it thor
oughly. Are the people being COM
PEELED to pay too much for what they
buy? Nobody can answer that until
he can say with reasonable approx
nation what it costs to produce those
, things.
In some fields the trade commission
will find plenty of data. The packers,
for instance, can tell it exactly what
it costs them to turn out their pro-
ducts. Government attention has en-
couraged accurate cost accounting in
their case. But these fields are limit
ed. In the biggest fields of all the
work will have to be done from the
ground up. There isn't a farmer in
Illinois who knows what it costs him
to put his product on the market to-
day. There isn't one manufacturer
what it costs him to run his business.
Let the trade commission start
literally from the ground up" Let
it start with the farmer and find what
production of everything, from eggs
to wheat and cattle, means in terms
OF money and labor expenditures. He
doesn't know, and nobody else knows
Then let it follow the product to con-
sumption. Many people assume high
prices don't start until they reach
some large organization. From the
economic standpoint they are just as
liable to start at the beginning as
anywhere else. Prices cannot be
permanently below the cost of pro-
duction under any circumstances.
The country is in the mood for an
investigation that will be long and
deep and thorough. 1t is tired of
these continued flurries about high
prices that get nothing except pos
sibly a politician into Congress or
some other job or into the news
papers. Tt has had it's fill of half
baked remedies that spring from at
tention to only one-half of the great
problem. Let's have an investigation
that will enable the country to see it
and see it whole. It would
be cheap at 100000 or $4,000, OOO.-

IN MEMORIAM.

In loving remembrance of my dear father John
w. Barnes. who departed this life. January %
1915. two years and one month ago today.
Dear is the grave where our father lies,
Sweet is the memory which never shall die;
Roses may wither, leaves fade and die
Others may forget you, but never will |.

When the cold earth has just been thrown DER
them:
That tells how beloved are the ones that are dead
Or how deep in our hearts we miss them.
