LOOKING BACKWARD

1t is well to pause in the great of human
events, and look backward. Sometimes by SO doing
we realize how far have advanced Let the
farmers of the Paouse country pause they feel
like complaining about the price of wheat being
placed at $3.50 per bushel and look backward.
Let us back to 1893, when wheat sold low 1S
cents Then let raise glance to 1894, when
about 35 cents was the maximum price Many old
timer in this country remember when he onged for
the price to increase to SO cents a bushel and he
thought he would be satisfied then.
Do you remember in November 1896 when wheat
finally reached SO cents bushe the highest price in
number OF years, how happy you and how you
felt that prosperity had come?
Do you remember in 1897 when wheat opened in the
fall at 81 cents and all thought we had reached
the millennium? And later when it to IS and 80
cents we felt that millionares and the Pa
louise was the best farming country in the world.
Don't you remember how grew ambitious and
bought more land to raise wheat to get more
how raised sights and fixed 81 as the maximum
price, the price with which would satisfied?
Do you remember how few times reached that
dreamland goal Of 81 bushe in the last 80 years?
The writer remembers farmer Pullman who
said Il have sold bushel of wheat for 81 in

prisoners well and they are strong and
hearty. The Boche, on the other hand,

Most OF the nourishment they get is

way is to exchange these prisoners by
