AN A KNOCKER OR A BOOSTER
FOR MY COMMUNITY

Last week one Of my neighbors came
over and we talked about the high cost
OF living and the law value OF farm
products. We have both paid the PEN
atty to the time Of $500 a hundred
loss on our hogs. In my case it only
amounted to $4,000. OF course can
stand these losses because II only re-
presents several hundred bushels OF
high priced corn and a lot of labor on
the part OF myself and family. It
wouldn't be so bad II could feel that
someone else along the line was shar-
ing 1t with me. But when / have to pay
$4,000 that contains ~ pounds or less
OF wool, which wool sold for AZ cents
per pound II gets on my nerve.
MY neighbor had a longer and hard
er story that mention. He raiyed
about losing 100000 on a load OF
cattle, $4,000 on load Of hogs, etc.
He cursed the packers. the retailer,
and the government. After while he
admitted that the only way to get a
square deal was to organize. Every
body Is organized but the farmers. he
said. have tried on several occas-
ions to get him to join the Farm Bur-
eau Organization. but he always pass-
ed the buck and remarked "well,
guess not today" never could under
stand his philosophy wanted some
thing yet wouldn't help to get 1t.
Personally, have always felt that
what was good for one farmer was
good for all farmers. II great nat
lonal organisation could be perfected
that would some day put an end to
the present manipulation Of markets 20
that hog value wouldn't fuctuate 81
IN three days It would help every
farmer. Because manipulation effects
all farm products. II had felt that
my neighh0r was too tight to donate q
five dollar bill q year to the cause, I
would put him In the same class az
the fellow who stole a quarter or
bummed q free ride on the merry-go-
round. Some fellows hold dollar
SO close to their eyes that they cant
see thousand dollar bill ten feet
away.
! see by the papers that the Farm
Bureau has organized National
It is the greatest thing
that has ever been devised to put the
farmers business on the same plane as
q merchant or manufacturer hope to
see the day when the farmer will re-
ceive a good living wage for himself
and family and fair interest on his
investment This will not happen at
once and will require money and pat
fence on the part OF farmers. have
a brother who railroads and has paid
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year to his
organization for 4 long time He says
II Is good investment, yet he has
nothing invested. For myself have
about $42.0O0.O0 invested in my busi-
ness and in years past have not con-
tributed cent for protection. It think
the Farm Bureau Is trying to run on
too cheap q scale at $500 year II

certainly can double It, Here's hoping

THREE HURT, ONE
BADLY, At PLANT
James McNamara Received
Fractured Skull at Vulcan Plant

While working over q piece OF
machinery in the powerhouse of the
Vulcan DEFINING plant, at Sewaren,
shortly before noon today, three men
were injured, one seriously, when the
machine broke, fragments of the
metal striking all three. A hurry
call was sent to the Perth Amboy City
Hospital and the ambulance was dis
patched there Immediately.
The most seriously injured man was
James Mcnamara, of 425 East ave-
nue., twenty-six years old, machin-
list, who sustained a fractured skull.
The other two men to receive injuries
were c. G. Merrill, thirty-one. of Sc
warren, and Paul Simpsendorfer, thir-
+ ty-two, of Woodbridge, both machln-
lists, also.
1t was impossible to learn the in
juries of Merrill up to 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon. The other man had
an injury to his right knee which
was treated and he was discharged
from the hospital.
DR.. George w. Fithian had charge
Of all three cases.
Efforts to secure some details OF
the accident at the plant were of no
avail as no one seemed to know what
caused the accident or what kind OF
machine it was which broke. one
of the flying pieces of the machine
struck Mcnamara In the head, frac-
turing his skull. His condition was
said to be very serious at 2;30 this
afternoon.
