live stock markets is interesting. The
high cost Of feed in the furnishing of
dairy products is the first reason. and
prevailing high prices for live stock
the second
The farmer has had his ups and
downs, with the latter largely pre-
dominating All he asks is fair prof
it on his outlay. He wants more than
IS cents out of the consumers dollar,
and it is to the consumers interest to
see that he gets it. And right here it
should be remembered that the farmer
himself is the largest consumer; that
he sells at wholesale and buys at re-
tail what he produces-the fellow that
does the business" gets the Is per
cent.
What organization but the federal
government can correct the system?
There lies an important war meas
ure.
The farmer is ready to do his share
for the government, but he is weary Of
piling up profits for spectators and
market manipulators. Can you blame
him?
Suppose the government go into
the storage warehouse and market
regulation business, in place of
those who are farming the produc-
ers? The government needs revenue,
why not take some Of the difference
between the producers returns and
the consumers high cost Of living?
The government has an elaborate
bureau for determining the volume Of
production; it knows the system of
distribution. The government knows
where the products are held for mar
ket purposes and the methods Of
Handling to add to the cost to con-
sumers. Isn't it about time to put an
end to the big gambling boards?
Just now the country is becoming
alarmed at the result of conditions up-
on the farmer. The country has reas-
on to be alarmed. Other considerations
are just as serious as is the reduction
of cows and calves at time when ev-
cry effort should be made to conserve
and increase.
Is the problem to be approa ched as
the bear comes down a tree?

The growing custom of observing the
second Sunday In May as Mothers
Day" is to be commended 1t fosters a
beautiful sentiment and appeals to all
that is best in manhood and woman
hood. Its object is to hallow the men,
Dry Of the Mothers who are sleeping
the sleep Of death and to brighten the
lives Of the Mothers who are still with
,us in this busy world; to make them
more loved, and honored and protected
by their children; and to remind sons
and daughters of the unselfish devo-
ton Of their Mothers. and possibly of
their own selfish neglect. Under the
pressure of modern life it is easy to
forget those loving words. gentle
courtesies and simple acts Of apprec;a-
ton that cost little. bat are worth
much to those whose age and weak
ness make them prisoners in the
chimney corner of the home.
There are three words in our Ian
guage that must be held sacred for
ever II we would preserve all that is
sweetest and best in human life; they
are the words Mother, Home" and
Heaven. Around these words cluster
the hottest relations and the highest
hopes of mankind. The welfare of each
individual, and of the race as a whole,
depends upon the extent to which
these words. or the ideas for which
they stand, are magnified in the face
OF the ruthless demands of heartless
mammonism. When the word Moth
err strikes no responsive chord in the
heart Of man. when the ward Home"
arouses no tender memories, nor in
spires any pure and lofty sentiment,
and when the word Heaven" awak-
ems no heartening hope. the human
race may still! glory in it's increasing
material progress. but the sweetest
flowers in the garden of life will never
bloom again
Tine celebration Of Mothers Day is,
very simple: Wear flower in honor
OF your mother. and attend Divine
service in the church of your choice in
recognition Of the high claims of your
mothers God If your own mother is
living within reach, visit her and. if
possible. accompany her to the house
~ God. II she is separated from YOU
ny distance, write her a letter. Rut if
YOUR own mother has passed through
the curtain into the unseen world, then
show kindness to the mother bereft of
her children. r wOOD

Shall We Go At II Right?

The National Agricultural Society
sends out this circular:
Raise more live stock; there will be
high prices for at least three years to
come: this Is an emergency message to
farmers and stock growers from G.
howard Dawson. president of the Inter-
national Live Stock Exposition and chair
man OF the executive committee of the
National Agricultural Society.
says Mr. Dawson: in my Judgment
tnere will be scarcity of nearly all kinds
of live stock for some time to come and
farmers and stockmen should make their
plans accordingly This means that there
should be no selling of young animals or
lemale breeding stock merely because
corrent prices are high Better money
can De made by working on the under
standing that high prices for hogs. cattle,
sheep and other live stock will rule for at
least three of four years to come.
Ihere IS no doubling this in view of the
knowiedge that Europe has lost over so
per cent. of it's live stock-that the whole
world In fact is suffering from a serious
shortage in all kinds of food animals.
There Is SO much concern over a posi-
Die wheat or potato shortage that the
public Is forgetting the meat situation.
AS q matter of fact, if every effort were
made to Increase the country's supply of
cattle. It would be at least three years be-
fore solid results would be APPARENT AS
regards sheep. 1t would require at least
two years to make any considerable in
crease tn numbers. even though every eve
We're held back for breeding purposes.
The best possible program for the
farmer from the standpoint of either
patriotism or profit is to raise more live
stock and to work on three or four
year program, at least"
And here is what the country is up
against" put out by the sales depart
ment Of one of the large manufacture
ers of rations for live stock:
To the Feed Trade:
Commissioners OF agriculture-farm
bureau managers-public officials Of all
kinds throughout New England write
that dairymen are not only selling
their surplus stock, but are also dis
posing Of their producing animals.
They say that we are fast approach
ing severe shortage of dairy prod
ucts, and ask assistance in checking
this selling Of farm animals.
We. In turn. ask your assistance, for
you can help nightly.
The principal reason which will keep
dairy men permanently in that bust
ness is---a profit.
To make dairying profitable requires
n reimbursement between the cost to
produce dairy products and the selling
price Of these products. This will take
time, but il Is coming fast.
In the meantime. dairymen must
hang on-must stop selling their cows
and young stock.
Men give their lives for an idea
surely dairymen will do their bit" by
conserving their stock II they know
First-That public safety makes this
demand.
Second-That q new era is dawning
in dairydom-and that the man who
sticks for patriotism will remain for
profit.
