Farmers are never satisfied. They
have been getting So for wheat and
now they want $3.50 to $2.75. If they
get that it will not be long before
they will want S.. Our idea of fair
prices would be So for wheat, SIS for
-four, ST for shorts, 80 cents for bran,
so cents for oats, 60 cents for potatoes,
IS cents for corn, 80 cents for barley,
Sc for wild hay and SO for tame, 30
cents per dozen for eggs, 40 cents per
pound for butter, etc. In 1892 and
1898 these were considered record
prices: Wheat 40 to 60 cents, -four
So, bran As cents, shorts so cents, pop
pie wood $1.10 cora, oak wood $1.25
cord, oats 20 to IS cents a pushe.,
potatoes 10 to Is cents, corn 20 to 80
i, cents, hays 50 per ton, cows 500 to $25,
eggs 10 to Is cents dozen, butted 10
to 20 cents a pound. Men worked for
as low as so to IS cents a day. Land
sold at from Sc to $40 per acre. What

prices and the prices Of today. What

AMERICA FIRST
Dress Committeel
6 q q Nv q &

There are two calls not dissimiliar
IN sound, IN meaning of in purpose.
The first is call that is never sent in
vain. It is the call of vessel in dis
tress. It is call sent out into the
vast unknown, sent with q faith
that somewhere th<re is another ship
with q mechanism so fine and 50 SEN
sitive that it will hear the call, q shin
with crew SO generous of spirit that
it will answer Immediately the call for
help. The s o s call in way exem-
plifes faith.
W S IS the second call is one sent
out by our great government tossed
about as it is in the troubled sea of
war. It, too, is call sent out in the
unknown but it, too, is sent with a
faith that America holds heart and
minds sensitive enough to hear tho
call and generous enough to respond
at once to it. The W s s also exem-
plifes faith..~> And i is up to everyone
Of US to see that that faith is not mis-
placed. It is up to us to buy War
Savings Stamps. Like the Liberty
Loan the War Savings Stamps are q
perfectly good investment. You are
simply making it possible for the gov
eminent to have at this time of stress
the necessary money for the success
full carrying on of the war.
Have you bought War Savings or
Thrift Stamps' If you have not you
can buy them from the postoffce or
the bank or from your America First
officers. But buy and buy at once
that Morrison county be not found
slow in responding to the call of the
government.

No Crocuses In November.


=, It should be consolation to women
who have passed thirty to remember
that the most beautiful work of human
hands-the Venus de Milo-is the
statue of a mature woman, comments
a writer. All the Venuses, in fact, are
represented as mothers. There is not
a young girl in the lot. Among the
Greek statues only Psyche could quail
lily as a Broadway beauty, and even
Psyche might appear little plump
and mature to the admirers of the hu.
man reedbird.
OF course, every woman should fight
ugliness to her last hour. She need
not lose her beauty at any age. But
one does not expect to pick snowdrops
or crocuses from the fallen leaves Of
November, and it is just as futile to
hope to look sixteen when you are
forty.
