ten feet deep and it was most for

In the most Important time in
history for the farmer he is practi
cally helpless because he is unor.
ganized. The consumer. sorely
oppressed by the high cost of living
Immediately thinks of the profiteer-
ing of the farmer as the principJl
cause of high prices The consum-
er doesn't realize how small part
of what he pays for an article of
necessity goes to the farmer and
that il is the items of cost and profit
which are added after the material
has left the farmers hands that
should be looked into in attempt
ing to lower prices.
The consumer thinks sixty cents
a pound is high price to pay the
farmer for wool, but he doesn't un-
derstand that a suit of clothes con-
tanning not more than three pounds
of wool costs as much as the farm
er got for hundred pounds of
wool. A calico dress weighing a
little more than a pound costs more
at retail than the planter got for a
hundred pounds of cotton N the
bale. The cost of wheat is 10,
creased four fold from the time *
leaves the farmers hands until it
reaches the table of the consumer
CalfSkin when made into shoes sells
for more than the farmer got for
the calf alive
Milk which the farmer sold at
thirty two cents a gallon retails in
Kansas City at from sixty-fOur to
seventy cents a gallon. The farmer
feeds the cows, miiks them. haulS
out the manure, delivers the mix
to his railway station, pays the
freight on il to Kansas City aud in
some instances | am told pays the
cost of drayage to the distributing
dept in the city. The milk mer

milk and for this service collects
more than the farmer got for all of
his services.
Harness leather which costs a

they will tend to get together, and
the prevention of this leads to big
questions of right and of restraint.
Probably better solution is more
vigorods Americanization work
right in these foreign settlements.
The alien is not the only one who
does not mix What of his American
host who handles him with tongs
because he is an alien, instead of
grasping him by the hand as an
embryo American? Who calls him
Guinea" "Wop." and "Hunky." and
exploits him to the limit? The i'm,
migrant will cling to his old ma.
tionality until somebody shows
him better one.

make them glad they came. Then,
if in spite of all efforts. they re-

Those Aliens

Authorities say the ports Of
Europe are thronsed with immi
grants eager to come to this country
but that most of these are undesir.
ables. seeking to dodge the burdens
of their own people and likely to
foment trouble If allowed to como
here. For this reason greater re-
striction of immigration is urged.
Badly as America needs labor
there is more need of protective i'm
migration policy il the abuses OF
Americas hospitality are not to
60 on.
The first step in such policy is
the shifting of these people in their
own countries, through the estab'
lishment of bureaus in the great
centers abroad which shall examine
every applicant to America so care
folly as to prevent the questlona
able from even heading this way.
The next step is better hand
ling of the situation here. Elk
Mayor Ole Hanson of Seattle, who
has had some strenuous experience;
with alien populations, thinks there
| should be such a distribution of i'm
migrants when they arrive here as
will prevent the formation of larg'
racial settlements. This is easiel
said than done. The natural trenC
OF any human being is toward hi

hog killing time. It does not seem
possible that there has beer four
times as much effort and expense
put into wheat after the farmer
sold it as he invested in growing
harvesting and threshiDg the crop
1t is inconceivable that it takes fifty
to one hundred times as much labor
and pains to spin and weave cotton
aud make it into a plain dress as
was expended by the planter in
raising the crop and in picking, GIN
ming and bailing the fiber. Why
should it be necessary to increase
the price of wool thirty-fold between
the time farmer sheared his sheep
and when the cloth is made ready
TO wear?
1t is the costs and profits which
are added after the material leaves
the farmers hands which are prin-
cipally responsible for the high cost
of living. Some of these costs are
necessary and others like the filling
of leather with cheap grease, are
unnecessary and wasteful Some
of the profits are fair and reason
able, others are excessive. Some
are necessary and some are super.
| fluOus.
As the farmer stands he is pow
erless to help himself in this situa-
ton. Compactly organized he
would be in position to defend his
! interests in the marketing of his
pro iucts. There are several thous
and farmers organizations in this
country. all effective in their own
way, but mainly occupied with local
problems. Too often it happens
that the interest OF one farmers or.
eanization runs counter to that of
another. An organization OF cotton
farmers sometimes demands low
price for wheat because they do not
raise wheat, but bay -four. The
members of an organization of
wheat growers, being consumers of
cotton goods. insist upon a low pric
ed cotton. Frequently the interest
of the cattlemen of the range coun.
try run contrary to those who feed
cattle in the corn belt The dairy
men and beef men quarrel over
legislation regulating the sale of
oleonargarlne. These minor differ
ences should be laid aside in a time
like this and an affective federation

Mrs. Louise Catherine Orth,
widow of j. Harry Ortiz. died at her
late home, 241 Briggs street, on
Friday morning. Mrs. Orth was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William
c. Joseph, a prominent family of
Sussex county, Delaware. She was

band was discharged from service in
the United States Navy and moved
to Harrisburg shortly after her mar
riage. She was n number of Re-
formed Salem Church and an active
and faithful Sunday school teacher
for thiry-nine years. She took a
great interest in the members of
her classes, many of whom she
lived to see become heads of fami-
lies. Twelve years ago she was
taken i'll and has been confined to
the house ever since. During the
last six years she lived in her chair,
being unable to lie down because. of
heart affection.
Her patience was unusual and the
cheerfulness with which she bore
her lot was an inspiration to her
friends.
Mrs. Orth is survived by four
brothers and four sisters, all living
in Delawtre, exceut one sister, Mrs.
John r. Sellers, of this. city. Miss
Carrie l.. Orth, we'll known public

ing child. Funeral services are to
