In connection with the War Saw

red in the office of L. S. Olsen, when
little Royal Greer, the 9year-old son
of T. w Greer, stepped into the Of
flee and asked for the amount of his
Quota. He was informed that his
parents both had quotas, but that he
was exempted owing to his age. The
little fellow politely informed Mr..
Olsen that: II sell newspapers and

He was then asked if he wished
to purchase on w. S. S., and pay
for it in the fall; to which he indig

Albert Bakken, an enterprising
young farmer from north of Ray
mond, appears to have made good
use of his Ford auto this season.
He has a tractor attachment for his
car and with the same he plowed and
seeded $50 acres of wheat and fax
this season. He also used the car
to haul the gasoline from town. Mr..
Ballken did all the work in planting
the said crop by himself and plans
now to use the ford for harvesting.
MI Ba:-ken has $50 acres of good
land and plans to put the entire tract
in crop in 1919 if the crop turns
out well this season.

Consumers in the Cities Are Also
Held Up BY the Autocratic
Price Fixing of the Organized
laundering MiddIemen.

The closed market is cunning
ieV1ce for relieving the farmer each
year OF his entire overburden Of
wealth by controlling supply and
demand and preventing the farmer
from selling to any other buyer
han itself. This enables it to fix
prices to producers and consumers.
It makes the process of distribution
as long and complicated and costly
as possible and charges the whole
account up to the consumer Out
Or these enormous winnings" it
hands the producer enough to keen
his farm from becoming non-pro-
3uctive
According to government estimates
the farmer gets only 81 out of every
S. the consumer pays for farm pro
ducts. If he got less his farm would
run down and the closed market sys-
tenn would lose money.
Middlemen Well Organized
In order to "pnt over" this big Job
the closed market system has to be
well organized and we'll founded on
understandings" and "gentleman's
agreements Hence we find these
groups OF nOnprodncers and middle
men organized into protective" as
soclatiOns understanding" each 9th
er perfectly. These Understandings"
and "gentlema1's agreements" USUALLY
relate ia established prices and the
prevention of producers and cOnsum-
ers from trading with each other. A
system of laws and licenses is used
to prevent the farmer or others out
side the system from peddling direct
to consumers. The monopoly of sup
plies is so well managed that retailers
and others engaged in selling can be
CLOSED OUT of business whenever
they attempt to buy directly from the
farmers.
To control supply and demand and
monopolize buying and selling the
closed market system must own and
control the following facilities:
1.-The facilities for finishing farm
products for consumption, such as
-four mills, packing plants, creamer-
les, canning factories, sugar factories,
refneries.
2-Storage facilities for taking
care" Of the farmers produce and
holding" it until the people are ready
to pay the right kind or a price" for
it. Among such facilities are railroad
elevators, warehouses and cold storage
plans for perishable farm products.
3-Transportatio facilities such as
railroads and steamship lines.
4-Credit. The system must have
credit to replace the capital tied up
in cornered and stored provisions and
to tide it over" those hard times dur
ing which the system is waiting foI
the people to make up their minds tC
accept its prices or starve.
Political Control Necessary.
But the closed market system must
control more than these things; il
must have a big say in government
in order to hold the producer down
while it holds the consumer up. The
system could not engage in either
Of these pleasant pastimes without
strapglehod on government. KNOCK
the political props out from under this
system and it will fall This explains
why the system spends millions O.
dollars each campaign in selecting ane
electing candidates.
Before the farmers can start to ge

they will have to organize, vote 70

TO say that he sprung a surprise was
putting it very mild, and he had no
trouble in signing up his Pledge

fore the end of 1918 he will have

would follow the lead of this little

Arkansas, North Carolina and Alabama
urging farmers, merchants bankers
and business men to organize and
hold their cotton for not less than
35 cents, middlins basis, was issued
tonight through J. J. Brown, president
-ofthe cotton states advisory market
ing board. The proclamation termed
such a price equal only to the cost of
production and a fair profit.
"I believe So cents to be only a
fair profit for farmers and I am Of
the osinion that if farmers of West
Florida Will hold their cotton as the
advice indicates, they will receive more
than this" said E. G. Carter of the
E. G.. Carter Company last night.
Mr.. Carter indicated that farmers
had been receiving this price at the
beginning Of the years selling, but that
abear movement begun in Liverpool
and NewYork had forced the price
to % cents, present spot price. Al
though less cotton was raised in West
Florida this year than last, Mr.. Car
ter believed the governor was right
in issuing the proclamation, since the
government had stopped short selling
to force prices down.
