A Kansas farmer of skill drove to
town and sold a beef hide for sc per
pound. Needing harness he found the
price of leather was S5c per pound.
He naturally wonders at the great
spread in value. Only government in
vestigation can settle the point. Lo-
cal dealers and farmers do not real
ize the profit that is obtained from
the product somewhere else, This is
but one of many items that might be
brot under government control if the
country is to have a live-and-let-live
basis.

these days. Even horse-racing and
the taking of bribes by high officials

John Dunbar Indicted

John 0. Dunbar, who has been
running a weekly publication at
Phoenix. has been indicted by
the U. S. grand jury on six
counts, the charge being OBJ
structing the Fourth Liberty
Loan. He was released on bail
of SIS, 600. Dunbar is one of the
oldest newspaper men of the
state and for the past several
years has been conducting a
magazine which appears to have
for it's object the attacking of
everything that is connected
with the mining business, or any
person who does not believe in
his way of thinking. Even the
men at the head of the food
commission of the state have
come in for attack. The indict-
ment was returned on account
of misleading articles that ap-
peared in his magazine, induced,
supposedly, because the loan
committee failed to place adver-
tising with the magazine. King
