A Howard doctor vouches for the
truth Of this: He bad q call to the
country several miles from town, 70
minister to q younger member of a
farmers family. After several visits
at 81 per visit-schedule price, he told
the farmer Il probably would not be
necessary to come again, but he want
ed thepatient to'continue using some
Of his medicine; 30 he suggested that
the farmer might come IN and get It,
thereby saving the doctor q trip. So
after some days he called at the doc
tors Office and got some more Of the
medicine. Some weeks later when the
doctor was mailing statements to his
patrons, he sent this man his account
with the usual suggestion to please re-
nit. When the check came in, the
doctor was somewhat puzzled to OBJ
serve that It was just four dollars
short Of the full amount, but on the
back of the statement he found PEN
cield words about as follows: at is
worth just as much for me to come to
your Office as it is for you to come 10
my house." So It is apparent that it
is getting harder and harder to fool
the farmers.-Howard Courant.

Senator johnson of California says
we are under a "spell Of hypnOtism
and cannot progress industrially.'
That's true, and as long as the big
interests of the country refuse to es-
tablish a lower price for those things
which are used in stimulating build
ing, wen still remain under that hyp-
notism. The lumber interests, the
steel interests, the cement interests,
the wire interests, and others, are
standing pat for war prices. In the
conferences at Washington we can see
no immediate relief 10 the country
