are responsible for the excessive and in
excusable prices we are paying for food.
The MIDDLEMAN is the fellow the

way toward solving the whole thing.
Getting him would almost immediate
" meet the aim of the president to in
sure fair profit to the farmer, who has
suffered with the consumer for the sins
of the middleman.
The presidents recommendation is
particularly pat in two places-in its
solicitation for the man who tills the
soil, who does the work, takes all the
risks and gets the least from what the
consumer has TO pay, and in calling for
sufficient authority with which to cope
with "the few cases where some small
minority proves unwilling 20 put the ma

That sounds democratic enough.

And instantly a vision came "'A
Through centuries of night,
How red Crusaders strove with Turks
And won the furious fight
And in the captured city set
Before the altar three
Their standards stained with Moselm
blood,
And bent their heads in prayer,
Tehir mailed knees touched the rug
ged stones,
Their swords flashed bright and
high, ct
"Our banner and the Crucifx!"
Went up their battle cry.
They have been comrades since that
time;
Through all the centuries
The flag has battled for the Cross
In earths Gethsemanes.
And so we set them side by side
Where Gods own angels throng,
The Cross above the nufurled bag,
Baptized with glorious song.
