TOO MANY FIDDLERS IN THIS COUNTRY TODAY

meats is shown to have decreased. the wholesale price of farm products is credited with smaller increase than any other broad line of living necessi- ties While the average jump during the year in the wholesale prices of cloth
 ing. fuel lumber, furnishing goods and groceries was almost fifty per cent, the increase in the wholesale prices of farm products was only five per cent.
 This exclusive of meats.
 Yet are not meats as truly farm product as butter or eggs or cabbages or corn?
 Practically all forms of meat are grown and fattened on farms. They are sold by farmers to the packers or butchers and. usually, at wholesale rates. So far as the Chicago packers are concerned, the meat animals are sold to them at the closest kind of wholesale rates. in train-load lots, with all the dis counts imaginable taken off. But(for the packers desire to set forth emphatically the showing of their special branch oi the farm products" service, they should | have been included under that head. ! But let that go for the time being. My i object in quoting these figures is sim ! ply to reinforce by weighty authority my frequent past assertion that city con sumers are barking up the wrong tree when they charge farmers with respon | sDility for the high prices demanded o | them by retail dealers.
 All of these prices are those for good'
 in wholesale quantities If they beal small relation to the prices demanded
 for the same goods in retail lots, tha i last unfortunate fact is in no wise thu i fault of the producers and sellers a
 wholesale The simple statements tha 1 the average boost for the last year wa almost fifty per cent. on five great class
 es of manufactured goods. while it wa
 only five per cent on farm products exclusive of meats which showed an act ual decrease-this simple statemen
 ought to convince the farmers critic that they are not only barking up tn
 wrong tree, as I have before said, bu
 that they are not even in the righ i woods.
 You may have noticed that firm ou | in a central New York city has jus been convicted of profiteering and fine' | 10O0 for selling clothing at an in
 crease of from eighty to hundred an | thirty per cent. more than it cost Ant | you may remember the deliberate state
Norwich bulletin., 1920-06-04

These figures indicate merely the in- crease during last year over the pre- Ceding year The prices are all whole sale While some suspicion may attach tn their absolute candor in the matter of neats-considering their. source there Is no reason 10 suspect great inac- curacy in the other items nor deliber- ate untruthfuiness in that concerning the price ot meats They are probably as near Enc truth as such figures ever are
 By which latter clause I mean simply fhat no general statistics. whether of prices or or crops or Of production or of wages or of ropAation. even. are ever absolutely accurate The field of gather Ing s SO big. the reporters employed so Va-sous in their capacities. the opportu- mites for error SO universal and the actual imnossihility of exactness SO in surmountabie in many cases that all such general figures are taken by men of Judgment with allowances. They show fairly well the general trend. These particular figures are gathered from bus mess men and may. at least be assumed to be quite as truthful and perhaps a frife more nearly correct than govern ment figures
 Taking them as we find them, you will note that while the wholesale price of

in the first hole and casing to con-

GOOD Time AHEAD
FIRST COMMUNITY FAIR

Everything seems well set for the
Wolf Point community fair Friday
and Saturday, September 8 and 4.
The country people are showing gen
uine interest in the fair and large
quantity and excellent assortment of
exhibits are assured The first fair
cannot be expected to be as large as
those that will follow, but will be an
occasion of great interest on account
of being the first fair and will af-
ford two pleasant days for every
body There will be a merry-go-
round in town and no lack of enter
tainment for the children as well as
the grown-ups. The peak of the
harvest and threshing rush should be
past by that time and it is hoped
that all of the country people from
both sides of the river who possibly
can will come to Wolf Point and join
us in good time and see what their
have brought in as samples
of their farm products. Wolf Point
sends forth special invitation to
everybody to attend the first com
munity fair.

FIRST PROGRAMS OF
CHAUTAUQUA ARE GOOD

The first two days Of chautauqua
have been excellent proof of the
statement made in advance that
chautauqua this year would be bet
ter than ever before. Large and en-
thusiastic crowds have listened to ar
fists of rare ability in their various
lines and have gone away pleased.
In the big tent the remark was heard
a number of times, that one single
performance was worth the entire
price of the season ticket. And that
is just the beginning. There are go
ing to be four days of the delightful
entertainment, each promising its
full measure of pleasure and enjoy
ment.

FLY TO WOLF POINT

Secretary Ferguson, of the Miles
City commercial club, arrived in
| Wolf Point by airplane this morning,
covering the circuit he planned but
was prevented from making several
weeks ago. Mr.. Ferguson is work
ing up sentiment toward securing

people in the party, an automobile
going in advance of the plane to To-
cate landing grounds and arrange
other details, during the stops at the
different towns the pilot Of the ma
chine does passenger carrying work.
He says that the Wolf Point landing
ground, just west of the ball park,
is the best one they have found, be-
ing roomy, level and smooth.
The whole day was spent here and
this evening the directors of the Com
mercial club and Secretary Foor are
entertaining Mr.. Ferguson and his
party at dinner at the Sherman. The
party came here from Poplar and will
leave tomorrow for Glasgow.
Mr.. Ferguson is not only a fier

graphy and when at home operates
the Miles City wireless plant. While
here he improved the opportunity to
communicate with his home town as
well as with Jordan and Glasgow
through the plant recently installed
At the Sherman. He held a long
with Miles City and also
With Glasgow to make arrangements
or his business there tomorrow.
The Miles City man can certainly
Iualify as an all around live wire

ugh fier.

COUNTY NURSE RETURNS
WITH HAROLD MILLER

Mrs. B. Della Dahl, county nurse,
returned last evening from Spokane
where she has been the past three
weeks, having taken Harold Miller
out there for treatment at the hos
pital. The little Miller boy has worn
cast on his leg since his operation
few months ago, but has been able
to walk in way that was not pos
sible before the operation. Since
the cast has been removed he has
walked without the assistance of
braces, but on account of the muscles
of his legs being so weak from dis
use, the doctors thought it would be
better to have braces for time.
Wolf Point people who have been
interested in the case will be glad to
know of the rapid progress toward
health and strength that the little
fellow is making.
Mrs. Dahl also took Louise Les
ter, of Mondak, to the Spokane hos
pital for treatment. This little girl
is also a victim Of the after effects
of infantile paralysis.
While in Spokane Mrs. Dahl saw
George Button, who was operated
on by DR.. Eikenbarry, the same
surgeon who operated on Harold Mil
Ter. Mr.. Button is getting along very
well and the operation is said to have
been particularly successful.
