30 Of them will be: THE operation OF

the same question to a hundred farm
ers and suggest that the city mans an
swcr is correct, and they will reply
that 1T is more or less of a joke now
adayS to speak of the uninterrupted
action Of the law of supply and de-
mand. " They Will tell you that such
q law apparently does not function in
The fixing of prices for products Of the
farm.
The farmer ought to know the truth.
The city nina is equally interested in
knowing the truth.
There should be some one, or some
agency. in a position to say whether the
farmer or the business man is right in
the matter. From whence should ac-
curate information on the subject
come?
My answer is. and your answer
should be, the department Of agricul-

Better Than Press Agents

It is my firm opinion that there
should be an agricultural representa-
tive appointed by the secretary OF ag-
riculture and approved. by the agrl-
cultural associations of farmers OF the
country. at every foreign legation and
embassy.
This representative should study the
agricultural conditions OF the country
to which he is accredited, as well as
the Industrial, which directly or lndl-
rectly affects agriculture. He should
make his reports to the secretary OF
agriculture, and the latter should De
empowered to disseminate this lnfOr-
nation to every farmer i'll America
through the rural press. Had this been
done | venture to say that the farmers
of our country would not find it neceS-
sarv at this critical time to appeal for
information as to the world supply and
demand and it's effect on the prices OF
their products.
We are today on the threshold OF, II
not actually in the midst of, period
of falling prices and probably a re-
duction in the high cost of living. In
this generally welcomed era it is well
understood that the reduction in price
of merchandise means largely the mere
emitting off of actual profits, but in the
whitening prices now paid to the farm
er for his products it is not case OF
cutting the farmers profit" but OF
compelling him to accept for his prod
net much less than the cost of produc-
ton. Falling prices in the case OF the
farmer is an actual crime, because
when the prices of farm products were
at the very highest the average farm
er was receiving little, if any, more than
the cost of production and in very
large number of cases was receiving

Whisky Which Thrifty Soul
Had Stored Away.

Warrington, w. Va.-Eighty.seven
f%ive-gallon jugs of liquor rested unmo-
Tested in the bottom of q water tank
near the city until one of the Jugs
broke. Then the excitement began.
Within q few hours the tank, which
supplied water for the operations Of
neighboring oil wells, was drained and
the liquor disappeared. The liquor is
alleged to have been the property Of
Charles Miller, who cached it in the
big tank. Miller was later arrested
with one jug Of liquor, and the officials
spent several days looking for the 9TH
ers, until some one tasted the water.
BY the time the prohibition officers
reached the scene nothing was left but
a few broken Jugs.
Prohibition officials have been trail

the tank soon located it and lost no
