at the Riverside plant, is a modest
hero, He did not go to Ada to re-
ceive at the hands Of Col. Petrauss

conferred of boys did as
much as l and l do not feel like boast
ing of doing my duty. Ed West Of
Salina was also honored at that time. :
From an outside source it was
learned that Mr.. Fuller went over the
top and rescued wounded comrade
while under a raking fire from the
Germans.
Mr. Fuller's home is in England; /;
for seven years he has lived In this
country, the last four years with n.

Washington, oct. 22.-The farm
ers' side Of the high cost of living
question was presented to the Senate
today by Senator Capper, Republican,
lof Kansas. who declared that, while
farmers are selling their products at
a loss mdeclining markets, the con
Sumers are paying rising prices
Faulty distribution was blamed
/ largely for this remarkable specta-
ele" and the senator urged a number
of remedies to increase production.
He deplored the numerous industrial
strikes and small representation Civ
en- agriculture In the industrial con
ference.
IN our efforts to get rid of the
| high cost Of living disease" said Mr..
Capper, Il fear we are In great dan
ger OF dying Of the remedy. As re-
suit of Washington's effort to reduce
high prices by breaking down entire
ly the cost OF food, we have the re-
markable spectacle of rise of one
per cent in the cost of living, coinci-
dent with market drops that are put
ting live stock raisers out of business
and causing serious losses to other
producers.
Illustrating the anomalous sltua-
tion of farmers and consumers, Sena-
tor Capper said farmers are selling
their wheat at loss, adding:
at takes four and a half bushels
of wheat to make barrel of flour.
The wheat raiser gets about $S.37 for
the wheat, the miller $12.70, the
baker $5S.70 and the hotel keeper
here in Washington, as It is doled out
in thin slices $5S7."
The government, through the grain
corporation. Senator Capper said, pro
fitted $23, ,000,0 at the expense of
farmers last year, the farmers selling
from 20 to 20 cents less than the
guaranteed price.
"The situation of the livestock
farmer is even more .deplorable," he
said Farmers are selling their grain
fed beeves ana hogs for less than It
cost TO produce them, but the con
sumner finds little or no change in the
price of meat While everything the
farmer must buy demands the high
dollar, the price of his commodities,
the cheapest in the markets, are held
down by a foreign embargo and "A
government guarantee.
without visibly helping the con
sumner we have brought about crisis |
in out most fundamental and vital
industry by forcing producers to ac-
cept prices at which he cannot con
tinue to produce, while he and the

business and drifting to the cities be-
cause Of conditions in agricultural in
dustry. Senator Capper declared.
Citing losses sustained by agrlcul-
tural producers Senator Capper said
the recent decline In livestock prices
had cost producers $S0,000,0 900.
Livestock growers, he asid do not
control the markets, and, like other
agricultural producers must accept
prices fixed by others.
Farm wages have doubled, land
values have risen enormously and
