STAY-ON-FARM COURSE
AS HIGH PRICES CURE
Representative Cox Before Civic As
ISOLATION Urges Revision Of Edu-
cational System.

Revision of the educational system of
the United States SO as to induce young
and intelligent men and women to re-
main on the farm as factor in reduc-
ing the present high prices of foodstuffs
was urged last night at the monthly
meeting of the Washington Civic AS
ISOLATION in the Metropolitan Presby-
terrain Church by Representative Will
liam +. Cox of Indiana.
Characterizing retailers and proffteers
who get anywhere from Is to $50 per
cent profit for foodstuffs, pirates
and Buccaneers whose equals have not
lived since the days of Capt. Kidd.
Representative Cox said the retail man
Is hurting the consumer more than both
the producer and the transporter.
Farmer Not Wholly to Blame.
The fault is not wholly with the
farmer he said Farmers in the
large majority of cases are today
forced to sell their goods in the open
market at the market price. The man
who takes advantage of his country in
time of war is the meanest man on
earth. / mean the profiteers, the men
who are becoming wealthy out of the
present saturnalia Of high prices. And
what is the reason for 1t? No one
seems to know. You cannot tie the
cause down to one specific party. 1t is
a case of ask George and the poor pro-
Queer is caught between them all and he
pays the bill. When we get people
back on the farm prices will drop and
again we will be back on scale of
right living prices.
