those eggs were sold at the same
price, and we can't see where there
should have been that difference be-
tween forenoon and afternoon. Maybe
the consumer would be interested in
some Of these things that we have to

Class Farmers as Profiteers.
And SO the discussion went on by
these men who have been bending
their backs to hard work from boy
hood up, whose doctrine has been to
do the job first and look at the clock
afterward.
Out on the street, meanwhile, the
city papers were heralding strikes
here, and walkouts there, and demands
for higher wages and shorter hours
somewhere else. And from every cor
ner of the country was coming the
complaint about the high cost of food.
They are starting to find the prof
teers" and good many of them seem
! to think that the farmer is the fellow
they are after.
Wealth Depends on Labor.
A nations wealth is it's people, and
its prosperity is the sum and result of
their wholesome labor. Our great nat
ional resources, of ore, COAL oil, tim
Der. soil fertility are as dead as the
craters on the moon except as they
are worked and utilized by men. A
million dollars won't buy a ham sand
wish unless somebody raises wheat
and hogs.
Prosperity exists in the minds and
hearts of men, just as happiness ex-
lists in the hearts Of a family, and not
IN the boards and shingles and plas-
ter of the house.
Old Captain John Smith had the
right fundamental idea when he de-
creed for his little colony, HE who
will not work shall not eat!" I won
der If Cap. Smiths men worked on a
basis Of so many hours a day, and if
some worked twice as long as others?
Who Will Produce Food?
Here, indeed. is a queer situation.
On the farms of the middle west there
is crying need for help to produce and
care for food. No help is to be had.
At the other end of the line are thous-
ands of men, who basing their COM
plant on the high cost of living" have
quit work, and must have still more
