sacks PAID FOR
DEARY ELEVATOR
BIG GRAIN ELEVATOR TO HAN
DIE CROP COST LESS THAN
SACKS FOR ONE YEAR

Figures do not lie, though, as the
saying does, prevaricators OCCASION
ally indulge in mathematics; in plain
I er terms, liars sometimes figure
This doesn't apply to US, for, as every
body knows, we are typical George
Washington as to veracity and we
get somebody else to do our figuring
But here is what we're getting at,
and it ought to interest every man
who reads, it no matter what his
occupation or walk in life. ;. ......
1t is stated that it took $4,000
sacks to handle the 1916 crop of the
Deary country. If this years yield
should average per acre that of 1916,
more sacks would be needed owing to
the increased acreage; but the 1916
figures will serve for the purpose Of
illustration.
Fifty thousand sacks at 80 cents
would cost how much? That's right
1t looks now as though
they will cost more than 80 cents.
The elevator, we understand, is
costing the farmers $4,000, or there
about.
There is so-called premium on to
be sure; but this gives the farmer no
more for his grain. 1t only returns
him a portion-less than half-of the
cost Of the sack. That is all it is in
tended to do. And without the ele-
vator the same process would be re-
peated next year and the next, as it
has been in the past-no let up, never.
The elevator, at the figures we
submit here, has been built for what
$4,000 sacks would cost at 80 cents
each, and there is $1,000 left to go
;oward building granaries, tanks, ETC.,
1T the farm. Next year the elevator
will be here and paid for. Looks like
he farmers are going to miss some
hing next year; but the sack bill is
they can afford to miss
Without grieving; and, though it may
eem strange for awhile, they will
DON get used to it.-Deary Press.

KANSAS MERCHANTS
HELP IN HARVEST
TOWN PEOPLE TURN OUT AND
SAVE THE WHEAT CROP WHEN
FARM HELP FAILS

Men from towns and cities" soft
town men," if you please-are har-
vesting the great wheat crop Of the
middle West and the West.
| Of course, it couldn't be done"
The professional pessimists persist
entity proved very conclusively that
it was utterly impossible and alto
gether ridiculous even to attempt it.
"Town riff-raff and soft, office pen
pushers for the farms!" they sneered.
"Why, the farmers won't stand it..
And the town people can't stand it!
| Dear! Dear! What an inefficient
government! Why doesn't Washing
ton press a button, or something, and
send plenty of permanent, expert
enced farm labor to the farmers 2"
But, strangely enough, the farmers
did stand for it, and strangely enough
the worn weaklings did stand the
hard work. Perhaps they hadn't read
the lamentations of the "Can't-Do-It-
Crowd" and didn't know they were
foredoomed to failure. Perhaps they
were more interested in whipping the
kaiser than in hearing reasons why
they were sure to fall down on the
job. Perhaps, being plain, everyday
Americans who are SO absurd as to
have assurance they can do anything, |
they just went ahead with confident |
calmness and did it! Really, it too !
bad (for the Huns) that these Kan
sans wouldn't listen to the lugubri-
BUSINESS of the impossible-squad so
willing to show that it just couldn't
be done! What pity to hurt Hin
denberg's feelings by doing it, even
if it was impossible!
The latter part of May, Kansas
began to put into effect on whole
sale basis, the progrom which for
many months the United States De-
partment of agriculture had been
urging in every community - that
town men go to work in agricultural
territory adjacent to them during
farm-labor needs of cul-
tivation or harvest. Kansas started
an intensive campaign for the enroll
ment of town and city volunteers for
harvest labor Kansas made ready to
shut up shop during the harvest
period. Kansas prepared to subordi-
nate every activity, for a few weeks,
TO the one supreme job of saving the
big wheat crop. From every town
and city in the state men, women and
boys, in such numbers as were neces-
sary, went to the fields; the men to
work as harvest hands, the women
% cook for the volunteer army of
the boys to fit in wherever
hey could best serve. This Kansas
harvest army of nearly 100000 men
lid the job. All the outside help that
could be secured was used, Of course,
out by far the largest part of the
lelp came from right at home the
soft town men" who just simply
couldn't do it, and who wouldn't be
by the farmers!
And, in just the same way, the
wheat crops will be har-
rested in Nebraska, Minnesota, North
Dakota and South Dakota. In just
he same way, when necessary and
where necessary, crops will be saved
n every state. Of course, it can't
'e done! For that we have the word
f many eminent critics Of the United
'tates Department Of agriculture and
he government in general. No
oubt the Kaiser himself has said so,
