X "We'II All Go Broke II We Have

~
BY WILLIAM HERScHELL.
When 1 hear some folks complainin'
Bout the burdens they must bear
Just to keep our soldiers fightin'
III the trenches "over there"
Then l want to show a picture,
One I saw tn other day,
OF a little Belgian youn'un
An her granny, old an gray.
In each face was tears and terror,
Born Of Teuton greed and lust,
An / pledged my all to Freedom,
If to give my all must. Jt'
Then new song woke within me,
A refrain l can't forget;
well all 60 broke if we hat t.
But there's no one busted yeti"
None of us is facin' hunger,
None need fear to seek his bed
Lest demon in Gotha
Hurl bomb from overhead.
Here we go along a-singin
Only now and then we sigh,
An we never see soldier
'Cept our own a-marching by.
Folks, we'd ought to be so grateful
To each fightin' Yankee boy
That tn sacrifice Of givin'
Should be measured as Joy.
So let's do our part-full-hearted-
Smile and say without regret:
well all go broke If we hat t.
But there's no one busted yetp

Buying Early halts the Huns.
Buy Your Bond Early
Wherefore delay?
Head off Tomorrow

And "save your face"

1--WE commend the patriotic labor
ers, the patriotic farmers and the pat
riotic business men, and all patriotic
men and women of Michigan for their
splendid committal to the cause Of
the republic in the war. We believe
in the righteous reward of all, and
unfair discrimination against none,
We wish to raise no sectional issue,
but we believe that the exercise OF
governmental authority in fixing the
prices of wheat and wool in the north
and the west should be applied to
the cotton of the south and to farm.

PATRIOTIC MICHIGAN
FARMERS STEkDFAST
BUT ARE WONDERING
Northern Wheat and Wool Growers
Not As Fairly Treated BY Con-
gress As Are The Cotton
Growers In tho South.

Michigan farmers are patriotic. They
are not winners and they are man.
fully doing their part in the world
struggle. Many farmer boys are over
seas. 1t is not unpatriotic in them to
sometimes wonder why" ali sons,
rich and poor alike, are not "over
there"
Nor are they unpatriotic when they
wonder why" at the price they are
When the winds of trade began to
watt upwards the filmy cotton from
cents pound; 1t bounded up to 33
cents a pound-almost five FOR one.
Print cloth rose from cents in 1914
to 81 cents per yard, standard sheet
ings from Ga cents to 17A cents per
yard, and ginghams from 6 to 151a
cents per yard in 1917. Uncle Sam, as
represented in democratic congress,
never anchored the Southern cotton
balloon.
The price of wheat started upward
in December 1914 at $113 and has
been anchored at 1920 per bushel-.
less than doubled price, while the
cotton balloon serenely sails at al.
most five times its rise.
And now to make bad matter
worse, when there is a heavy produc-
ton of cotton and a surplus Of some
three million bales, when the ordinary
law of supply and demand would
drive cotton down to around Is to IL
cents per pound, 1t Is solemnly pro-
posed to fix the price of cotton pro-
ducts at a figure which, would anchor
the price of cotton at about 81 cents
per pound. When consumers of cotton
are threatened with a little relief it
Is proposed to keep the cotton bal
loon aloft by law!
When wheat goes up 1t is stopped
and pulled back. The law Of supply
and demand is wiped out and the
iron hand of statute law supplants
NATURAL law. When cotton goes up the
law of supply and demand Is not in.
terfered with and it goes nearly five
times It's height. Then when the nat
ural law of supply and demand would
force cotton downward 1t is proposed
by law to hold it up to 81 cents a
roundabout four times its starting
point.
The wheat grower Is trimmed COM
| ing and going and in the midway and
the cotton grower is decorated with
| golden spoils at both ends Of the
game and sustained at almost his
high point. Not two Cor one for
wheat and almost five for one for cot
ton! The law clamps down on wheat,
allows cotton to soar upward anu
when cotton is threatened with fall
proposes to legally hold 1t up!
Is the Congressional idea Of Justice
Is this the way to wipe out section
alism?
The Michigan farmer is not insist
ing that the wheat balloon go up.
He Is only asking that tn cotton bal
loon descend to the lower levels. He
believes that only through the elec-
ton of republican congress will
equality before the law be attained.

Fading Optimism in Regard to
Peace Tends to Lift the In
terest in Corn.
MINIMUM PROSPECTS
REGARDING SHIPMENTS

Chicago, Ills, Jan. 11.-Intensified
transportation difficulties throughout
the vest together with fading optim-
ism in regard to peace tended today
to lift the corn market. Prices closed
unsettled at 1.27H Jan. and 1.25h@
a May, the same as yesterdays fin
ish to quarter cent higher. Oats
gained * @ y to IL @3Ac. In pro-
visions the resulted varied from sc
decline to soc advance.
Fresh snowstorms and forecasts of
severe cold weather made corn trad
ers pay special attention to de-
crease in rural notices of consign-
ments and to complaints of short
age Of motive power on western rail-
roads. Advices were at hand also
which indicated that efforts at prompt
distribution of cars in the corn belt
were being greatly hamperel by adj
er hand cable dispatches failed to con-
fine bearish views on the subject of
peace. Advances however, were
checked by knowledge that on &C.
count OF multiplied railroad embar-
goes shipments to the east from here
had been rendered almost impossible.
Oats showed decided strength ow-
ing chiefly to the failure Of peace talk
to be confirmed. Furthermore re-
ceipts continued TO dwindle. Invari-
ably, downtowns in values proved
transient.
Provisions sympathized with the
strength of grain. At first, though,
weakness in the hog market had a
temporary depressing influence.
