FARM NAMES INDICATE
.FARii PRIDE, IT'S SAID
General Belief is That Persons Who
Think Most OF Rural Homes
Name Them
AUDRAIN HAS PROUD OWNERS
Forty Three Stock, Dairy and Grain
Farms Have Names Registered
With County Clerk

It has been said that a farm name
means farm pride, that a farmer who
names his farm becomes more attack
ed to the place and will leave it very
! reluctantly for an unnamed place in
town which is designated by only a
street number. Those progressive ag-
riculturalists who name their FARMS
and then announce the anne to the
world and henceforth use them upoI.
all occasions will be pretty sure u
escape having their homes spoken Of
in such an undignifed manner as
usually Is attached to an expression
such as "the old Smith place"
There are more than thirty farrpers
in Audrain County who have thought
enough of their rural homes to dis
tinguish them with suitable names
and have these names properly regis
tered with the county clerk, They are
as follows:

CUNNING FOR PROFITEERS
AN ANCIENT PRACTICE Il

profteering in foods and high wage
demands by labor are far from peine
ultra-modern problems.
Ancient Egypt logged. its pronleers
in the market places and meuieya'
England passed maximum wage Jaws
according tof "a communication py
Ralnb A Graves to the National Geo
graphic society, which says:
.Following the devastation OF the
BLACK Death in England In l54o-lo49'
cultivation of the fields was utterly
imnossible and there were not even
enough able-bodied laborers to gather
the crops which had matured. Cattie
roamed through the corn unmolesreu
and the harvest rotted where 1t STOOD.
"Out of the situation which resulted
from the impoverishment of the labor
resources of the kingdom grew the
FIRST great clash in England between
canital and labor. The peasants be-
came masters of the situation. In some
instances they demanded double wages,
md whereas formerly landowners had
paid one-twelfth of every quarter OF
wheat as the harvesting wage they
were now forced to pay one-eight.
PARLIAMENT hurriedly passed dras-
tic laws in an effort to meet the new
condition. Statutes provided that
EVERY man or woman, bond or free,
able In body and within the age OF
threescore years, not having his own
whereof he may live, nor land of his
own about which he may occupy him
self, and not serving any other, snail
be bound to serve the employer VINO
shall require him to do so, provided
that the lords of any bondsman or
land-servant shall be preferred before
others for his service; that such serv-
ants shall take only the wages which
were customarily given in 1347' (the
year prior to the first appearance of
the plague).
"The first ordinance in English his
tory. designed to curb the greed OF
the middleman, was passed nearly
century earlier lin 1859 when there
was a bountiful harvest, but destruc-
tive rains caused the heavy crops to
rot in the fields.
'But England did not originate food
control measures. A low Nile in 967
A. D. resulted in famine the follow.
ing year, which swept away 6OO.0O0
people in the vicinity of the city OF
Fustat. G'awhar, Mohammedan 10

stricken town and Immediately organ
lied relief measures.
'The Caliph Mo'izz lent every assist
ance to his lieutenant, sending many
ships laden with grain; but price of
bread still remained high and G'awhar,
being a food controller who had no
patience with persuasive methods, or
dered his soldiers to seize all the mill
ers and grain dealers and fog them
In the public market place. The adj

1.-The home market and depress
prices. Who can doubt that tht
markets would be in better con
dition today If Great Britain ano

they would have had that much
more with which to buy our pro-
ducts. People cannot always pay
their debts and buy more goods al
the same time. We say and think
that we cannot float large for
eign loans, but the decline in the
value OF farm products and re
sulting disturbance to industry III
the last two months has been
enough to float more loans than
Europe has even thought Of ask
ing.
'The reserve resources and re-
Cooperative powers Of the country
are far greater than at any pre-
vious time when check OF this
kind was experienced. The cred
it situation is stronger. The
banking situation is wholly diff
ferent, which in itself is factor
of great Importance. In view Of
the extent Of the price declines
the comparatively few cases Of
embarrassment among business
concerns of Importance is signifi-
cant.
There is no gainsasing that
the fall season has been serious
ly demoralized by the unsettle-
ment which has developed. The
buying power of a great many
people in the aggregate has been
impaired, measuring their ability
by the prices that have been pre-
yailing. The general feeling that
these prices could not be sustain
ed has been thoroughly> confirm
ed; the public will have nothing
to do with them. When the gen.
eral level is reduced, so that a
common basis for trade is restor-
ed, conditions are such that bust
ness will be quickly resumed
That cannot be accomplished now
for the fall season, but if business
men will set about getting their
houses in order for spring trade
On regular basis the situation !
should be well stabilized by that I
ime and the field cleared for re-
,overy and long period of pros
,erity,''

That the school Riddles are

That if Fatty Arbuckle could
