David J. Lewishas demonstrated by

how. much better service they Wo"lH
get at less money if the government
would take over and operate the lines
of communication. He was as full OF

speaks were being committed, vet at
that time when he mign have helped

he was as silent as !; Boone river

OF profiteering as Mr.. McAdoo now ek-
poses that has much to do with the
unrest among laboring men that is
sweeping over the county. The public

The government is doing all it can to
protect the public against the results
of q protracted coal strike, After the
strike is over and the men return to
work the liter of protecting the peo-
pie against the eYorbitant demands of
the operators ought to be taken up.
Some legal means must be devised to
stop profiteering iii all commodities.
One of the chief causes Of the unrest
throughout the country is the general
belief that much protiteering is being
practiced. Workmen feel that they
are entitled to fair part OF what the
public is made to pay, and they are
right in that. 1t is no easy job that
confronts the nation to enforce JUS
tice, hut a way must be found to pro
tect the public against the greed Of
conscienceless profiteers. 1t will take
time to work out effective plans, but
that ways and means win be devised
ito meet the issue there can be no doubt.
The square dead must be enforced if
the institutions Of America arc. to be
perpethated.

Probably the highest price ever paid
for a quarter section of farm land in
central Illinois has recently been given
for an improved farm four miles from
Metamora. III. The price was $4,000,
an average of $6S7.50 an acre-MaHl-
facturers' News, Chicago.
$6S7.50 may be the top price for
farm land in Illinois. but that is cheap
compared to Iowa's top price. An
eighty acre farm out in OBrien coun-
ty sold this year at $1,000 per acre
$50, 600 for the eighty acres. Of all
that is good, Iowa affords the best.

socialist member from Wisconsin. The
vote stoot. 200 to 1. OF course the So
sialists will now say that this action
is due to the fact that Berger is So
cialist. but that is not true. He was
refused his seat because of his, opposi-
ton to the war, having been convicted
in the courts. A socialist has the same
chance as the member OF any other

soon as Lewis got control, up. went
prices and, down went the service in
efficiency and now the United States
treasury will soon be called upon to
divvy up about $14,00o.00O TO pay for

feature of the entire mess is thar the
principle of government ownership has
not had a fair show. It's trial was given

the hands of men who appear to be
exploiting it primarily for their own
benefit. The American Farm Bureau
Federation is an organization primarily
for the benefit of its members, but 1t
will prove beneficial to the entire coun-
try. There is no question of its pa
triotism and its members are not going
to demand that a, limit of six or eight
hours per day be put upon work. The
farmers work 16 and Is hours pc. day
when necessary. If they would get
the crazy notion into their heads that
they shouldn't work but six OF eight
hours. the world would go hungry and
the farmers could not make 4 decent
living. Here's hoping that the Ameri-
can Farm Buerau Federation may gov
