sPoRTSMEN RAISE HOWL.
Say Bait Dealers Are Profiteers
Worms Come Hiuh,

Muncie, Ind, Aug. 16.--After paying
the high prices charged for live bait
at Indiana lake resorts, Muncie sports
men, are loud in their demands that
an investigation of the bait industry be
included along with the high cost Of
living. One dealer in angle worms.
who. at the beginning of the season
jumped his price from Is cents to 81
centsva hundred and then tackled on
another cents. explained the second
raise by saying he has to pay scent
war tax.
At most OF the Indiana lakes last
season fishing worms could be bought
for Is cents a hundred; now they are
35 and 40 cents a hundred. Crickets
that formerly sold for 81 cents a hun
dred are now being dolled out to the
sportsmen at 10 cents dozen.
The dealers say they can make so
much more money at other works that
they have to charge the higher prices
for bait or quit the business.
One bait dealer at Webster Lake
confded to friends the other day that
he had sold 10000 worms since the
season opened and had cleaned up a
nice profit. It Is said the wise bait
dealers dig their worms early In the
spring and place them in coffee
grounds bed and with frequent water
ing and feeding on coffee grounds the
worms multiply rapidly.
But the sportsmen assert that the
blue gills don't bite any better on 40
cent worms than they did on the Is
cent kind.

LoNpoN-s SYDNEY AIR ROUTE.
Australian Company Plans Air Traffic
BY Way Of India.

TCorrcs yordence Associated PresS.l
Sydney, Australia, July 9.-Survey or
the route of the first section of the
projected aerial service between sgd
ney and London was recently COM
pleted. The sectionNextends from sgd
ney to Darwin, which is on the north
coast of Australia and relatively near
the Maayan Archipelago. The service
will be carried on by Sydney COM
pany.
From Darwin the route will cross
the sea to the island of Timor, proceed
along the Malayan Archipelago to In
dia and thence run to Bagdad or Port
Said--probably the latter. From Port
Said it will cross Europe to London.
The survey of the second section oil
the route( from Darwin thru Malaga to
Delhi. is now going on.
1t is expected that the first flight
will be made within the next few
months. and it is planned to have the
proposed passenger and commercial
services in full operation in about two
years. If the company succeeds Lon
don will be reached regularly from
here in six and one-half days.
The Sydney Darwin section is 1000
miles. But the survey party travelled
about 1000 miles in order to select the
most satisfactory landing places or re-
lay, stations.
When the flights are in full swing
business between Sydney and London
will be greatly facilitated from the fact
that letters may be answered within
two weeks of their dispatch from here.

The Farmers Share.

ne f2rnerS snare.
In order to interpret these items of
the budget in terms of what the
farmer receives for his share of these
products, most of which have gone
thru some process of manufacture, we
must get a schedule of retail prices IN
terpreted on the basis of weight,
since the price quotations to the farm
err are all in terms of weight units.
In order to get this figure for the var
ious clothing items. a study was made
of the retail prices shown in mail
order companys current catalogue
with the shipping weights ATTACHED.
These are very moderate retail prices
and would appear to be very sultaole
for the Interpretation of the budget Oh
family Of moderate income, such as
we are taking for our typical figure.
The selection of prices was made 10
include both the finished products, such
as mems and women's suits, over
coats, and shoe prices represented the
higher prced fancy shoes, the lowest
priced work shoes, and the medium
priced shoes for men, women and chill
dren. On the basis of these figures II
appears lildI iCcltiSi SN'oS' CO.
retail $40 per pound of product
wooden goods average s5.66 per pound
and cotton goods s1.5S per pound. Upon
study of data furnished by the lea
Their and textile trades it appears that
one pound of leather goods represents
slightly over three pounds OF green
hides, that one pound of wooden sooos
represents three and seven-tenths
pounds Of wool in the grease, and that
one pound of cotton goods represents
about one-and one-third pounds of lint
cotton. If now the prices given above
are translated on the basis into green
hides at As cents per pound, unWasheo
wool at Sc cents per pound, and mt
cotton at 80 cents per pound, 1t would
indicate that the farmer got so per
cent of the wage earners' expenditure
for shoes. 41.2 per cent of his expendl-
ture for wooden clothing and % per
cent of his expenditure for cotton clo-
thing, or total of s74.26 Of the $500
spent for clothing.
In determining the part of the tooo
expenditure which goes to the farmer.
we have, first, the following figures
from the bureau of crop estimates Oh
the United States department of as-
riculture, (monthly crop report, Sep
TENDER, 1918, P. 112)
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1919-08-16
Per Cent

In addition to these figures we have
the bureau of markets producer and
consumer prices of milk in twenty -four
cities, showing an average of 561s per
cent of the consumers price going to
the producer October, 1879 The
California Fruit Growers Exchange
after comprehensive study. reported
that the grower got 26.7 per cent OF the
retail price of citrus fruits, and studies
made by Prof. l.. D. H. Weld in Min
nesota sowed the farmer getting 49,
per cent Of the retail price Of cheese.
>67.7 per cent of the retail price of but
ter, SO per cent Of the price Of eggs,
As per cent Of the price Of hens, and
SIS per cent OF the price Of potatoes.
Taking these figures, together with
the table Of prices Of perishable pro-
ducts shown in the Chicago produce
market, tt would appear that the
farmer gets the following share of the
retail price of the various food items
