FARMERS MUST RECEIVE ABE
QUATE PRICES

In spite of generally unsettled con-
ditions unprecedented difficulty in
securing labor and transportation ia
cilities, high cost of materials, and
uncertainty as TO future prices for
farm products, the farmers of the
United States have proceeded in good
faith this year to raise crop better
than the average. They are repeat
ing, under the difficulties of read
iustment, the assurance, given by
their magnificent achievement during
the war, that they are not to be
daunted nor deferred by adverse con-
ditions from contributing their full
share to the welfare of the whole
country. Looking upon the record of
American farmers during these two
periods of extreme stress and strain,
the one following the other so close
ly that there was no chance for re-
taxation, | have absolute confidence
that the future efforts of American
farmers will fall nothing short of
their full duty to society.
Specifically, there is a prospect OF
a wheat crop exceeding prewar aver
age about one hundred million bush
els, corn crop of two and three
quarter billion bushels, or one hun
bred and fifty million more than pre-
war average; oats, one and one-third
fifty million more than prewar aver
age; barley in excess and rye more
! than double prewar average; pota-
toes exceeding five-year average:
record-breaking rice and tobacco
crops; hay and flaxseed exceeding
/ tiye-year average; cotton, grain sor-
ghums, and apples better than last
year, and record sugar beet and sor-
ghum syrup crops.
/ The cost per unit OF PRODUCING
/ these crops unquestionably was con
siderably greater than for any preyi
GUS crops in the last half century
and business men, as well as all 9th,
er elements of population, mus
realize that il the record made by the
farmers during the war and the per
iod of reimbursement is TO be main

BUILDING A COMMUNITY

Anyone who buys any large
amount of goods from a mail order
house without first giving his local
merchants a chance to figure on the
articles is not a community builder.
Money sent away from any com
munity manifestly will not help to
develop that community.
The home merchant is entitled to
charge a reasonable advance over the
prices quoted by the mail order
houses for he following reasons:
He goes to the expense of main
tanning a store and carrying anstock
of goods, which his patrons can in
spect before purchasing
He pays taxes to help support the
local schools, maintain the city and
county governments and improve the
roads and parks.
He contributes money to build and
maintain churches, to foster lodges
and other organizations and to pro.
mote all kinds of hetterment projects.
He extends credit to his patrons
and often takes a long chance to tide
them over, when they are cramped
financially.
He gives freely of his time and
money to make the town a better
community center, for the country
surrounding i, and this in turn di-
rectly affects the value of and de
mand for fern lands and affords a
market for farm produce. Land
around progressive and THRIVING
town is always more valuable and il
greater demand than land in the vi
cinity of a dead town.
The man who sends away a S10(
order, because he can save a dolla,
or two by so doinG is WORKING
against his own interests and is no
doing his share toward building
community which can offer advant
ages for his family to enjoy.
The merchant is just as much en-
titled to square deal from his pa
irons as the patrons are entitled to
square deal from the merchant.
II is not square deal to use tn

THE CHILDREN FIRST"

The Children First is the proper
slogan, and if it can be proved that
our children are benefited by the
joining of school districts, gaining
thereby better housing and equip
ment, better sanitary conditions in
general, better and breeder educa-
tional training, better social and cul-
tural opportunities, in fact better
possibilities for American citizenship,
then no argument against consOlida-
ton should have any weight. The
public schools are equipped and
maintained for the benefit of the
children of the state and for no other
reason.
Very few country school districts,
as single districts, have the ways and
means by which they can offer these
splendid advantages. But by join
ing school districts, especially with a
town district, the children of the
town and country alike are given the
privileges of a full standard 12-year
school. Only then are we approach
ing democracy in education.
Shall we see that the thousands of
children on our farms are not forced
to grow up with the vain regrets that
they did not have an opportunity to
get a good education when they were
at the proper age to get it?

.DO NOTHING CONGRESS

1t Has Failed the Nation With
Completeness and Aban-

Washington, April 27.--Sweepin z
charges that the present Congress has
failed the nation with completeness and

President of the American Federation of
Labor, in the current issue of The Amerl-
can Federationist.
America must get rid of its veto Con-
gress and elect an action Congress,
he says. "The no Congress must give
place to yes Congress"
The labor leader asserts that Congress
has failed on the Peace Treaty, in recon
struction and the high cost of living. and
that it also has failed us in intelligent
comprehension of every great question
affecting the lives and welfare of our
people" and he adds:
''Not only have the sins of the present
Congress been sins of omission, but they
likewise have been sins of commission.
There has been failure TO do right things
and almost an eagerness to do wrong
things. The war seems TO have bred IN
the mind of Congress n deep rooted phil
osophy of coercion. IL has clung with
desperation to the restrictive and coercive
measures which were necessary during
the war, and has sought to add to them,

obtain. The most shining example of
