close being one to four points higher

or July. which was not unchanged. At
one time prices were 900 TO $50 points

at the lowest levels the weakest

The lowest prices were made early in
the week when the market felt re-

the week n reaction from the decline
took place. mainly because of the profit
taking operations among shorts. but
the last half saw selling renewed on a
large scale.
Cold and wet weather over the belt
caused most of the buying. Late in
the week shorts made much OF the fair

The Farmer and Freedom.

There is no man TO whom liberty

American farmer. says Farm and

recognize class distinctions. He has
stcadfastly declined TO adopt any
specific garb or 10 join any specific
political party. The farmer has al
ways wanted. not the privileges OF a
farmer. but the privileges OF an
American citizen.
The American wars have been fought
largely by farmers. The plainsman,
engaged in baud to hand conflict
with nature, has been ready, when the
call has como, TO tight the enemies
OF his country.
This is only natural. The United
States stands for democracy, and it ia
under democracy that farming and the
farmer himself best thrive
The farmer is fuifllinG his best

that some other groups of men made
larger subscriptions at first. There ia
here. however. no ground for criticism
OF the farmer. The. city man who is

war meetings in a week. Is in quite n
