Good Argument.

Union labor In this country seems to
have gone crazy with the new power it
has acquired. Il is time for the great
body Of American citizens TO do some

to set about bringing order out OF the
present industrial chaos. Steady, in

men can have the right to bring disaster

men have u dispute with somebody

Let the Farmer Serve Notice That
He Will Fight for Fair Prices

The Government and the town and
city people seem to think that the only
cure for the high cost Of living is cheap
farm products. Practically all efforts
to lower the cost of living are directed
against the farmer and farm products.
The Government, organizations, clubs
and associations are making a united,
determined effort to force the price Of
farm products down to the lowest pos
sible level.
The merest suggestion that the cost
Of living might be reduced by fixing the
price Of shoes, cotton snd wooden goods
is ridiculed BY town and city people.

to put Somerville on the map as being

suggested to him that he include sheep.
and possibly, as a side line. operate

bearing malodorous mephitis, mephitica.
The name, as given here, is more in
keeping with Mr.. Cranes esthetic taste.
1t wouldn't do to call it a skunk.
Dick has been a mighty useful man
to the Division, and has made many
warm friends, both at headquarters and
in the field. His intimate and practical
knowledge of chickens, of the feathered
variety, made him dean of poultry
specialists in the United States. We
feel that the Division is losing val
