buy a $25 suit, a S. pair of shoes, a
So hat, two or three shirts, and then
some hankerchiefs. The farm value
of wheat on November LIST, 1919,
was S2.13 a bushel and the farmer
who sold fifty bushels at his home
station received $106.5O, or enough
to buy him a fine $50 suit and a big,
thick o~vercoat. If a farmer happens
to live in the Northwest and to have
held his wheat until now he can get
somewhere near So a bushel for
grain of good quality.
"While we are talking about the
Northwest, it may be well to men
ton the farmer who raises hax-seed.
The government tells us that on
the first of November, 1914, he re-
ceived an average of $1.187 per bu-
shell at the farm stations for his seed.
For twenty-five bushels he got just
about enough money for his $25 suit
and a hat. If he marketed his flax
seed on November LIST, 1919, he got
on the average of 1882 a bushel at
the home station. For twenty-five
bushels he got $95. 5O-enough to
pay for his $50 suit and leave $3.50
for hat, shoes, and furnishings for
the winter.
"You may think the Northwest is
particularly favored territory, but
let's look at the South where they
raise cotton. We all remember how,
in the fall of 1914, the "Buy a bale
of cotton" campaign was on to save
the producer from ruin.
"The price of cotton in the fall of
1914 was down to 6 cents a pound
for a time, but that's hardly a fair
comparison. Let's go back to Nov.
|, 1913, when the average farm
price was 13c a pound. The farmer
hen had to market 1913 pounds of
cotton to pay for a $25 suit. On
Nov. l, 1919, the average farm price
vas 36.5 cents a pound and the !
could pay for a $50 suit by j..

 Make You Feel
 Better.

It is hard for us to do our work, and we'd get real sick if we didn't take something. The best remedy I have found yet is Black Draught. It doesn't leave you con stipated, and I feel better after talk ing round of it."

 High Prices

Washington, April 29.-Blame for the price of print paper was placed primar- ly upon small manufacturers. brokers and jobbers, although publishers them selves were held partly to blame. by wilt nesses today before Senate investigat- ing committee.
 Curtailed consumption, in order to break the spot market pending increased production, was generally advocated as a remedy.
 Seven witnesses were heard by the committee, all of whom virtually agreed that reduced production of paper due to lack of understanding between the pub fishers and manufacturers. together with the rapid increase In advertising since the war. had resulted in situation of which the brokers and 1obbers had taken advantage Because of the prevailing high prices, the witnesses said, manufac- turers of paper specialties had been en- ticed into the manufacture of print paper. which had served to aggravate the situa- tion. The regular paper manufacturers were deferdeds and declared to have been reasonable in making new contracts. The witnesses, however urged that news ,pa,pers should confine consumption of paper to the amount provided in their contracts and remain out of the open market
