receive as high as s4.oo a day and

receive as high as s4.OO a day and
three meals.
Carpenters, plasterers, bricklayers
and others in the trades formerly
were content with $500 and $500 a
day. Now they demand as high as
$500, $1,000 and more day and
get it.
In the factories, on the railroads,
in the offices, behind the counters,
everywhere the same story is told in
the big cities. Wages are mounting
and the amount of work accomplish
ed in a day is decreasing.
Profiteering in clothing and other
necessities and Injuries of life
flourishes unchecked. There. is no
diminishing of this crime because
city people have gone insane on the
subject of spending.
Merchants have made the bald
statement that they have offered ex-
cellent articles at moderate prices
only to have them rejected by the
BUYERS as "too cheap" Unable to
dispose of them, they have tagged
the same articles at double the price
and they have been Immediately
shipped up by the profligate spend
ers.
We might fill the columns Of this
paper with such cases and still tell
only a small portion Of the story.
This riotous use of money in the
cities is having an injurious effect
upon country life. 1t is enticing our
young men and young women from
us and is leaving the rural communi-
ties stranded for help. 1t is forcing
us to pay exorbitant prices for COM
modities when we are curtailed in
our own power of production and in
our earning capacity.
The false lure of sudden wealth is
proving too much for the country
boy and girl. They are forsaking
their happy and peaceful homes and
are rushing in droves to the call of
the cities gone mad.
The bubble has beeen inflated al
most to the bursting point. 1t can
not forever stand the increasing
strain. In time it must collapse.
Already city banks are curtailing
their loans for building purposes. 1t
is necessary to stop the alarming in
flation of fictitious values. Follow
ing this will come cessation Of ac-
tivity in the building trades, with
$1,000 a day laborers looking for jobs
that are not to be had.
Similar conditions may be expect
ed in other lines, with money be-
coming tighter as work ceases.
Added to this will be the scarcity
of food. If farmers lose their help
they can not produce the food neces-
sary to feed the cities and the coun-
try towns.
A country town is dependent large
ly upon the farming community ad-
jacent to it. If those farms become
non productive for lack Of help the
country town is heavy sufferer.
And that is the condition in which
i k-s-..,s-.sze wil.-xS AHsl ourselves
II the cor3ntry towns.
The ins4nity Of the cities has done
it's work ON . too well.

Man ypersms with few hundreds
or thousands of savings are looking
around for opportunities for invest
ment. There are thousands Of such
opportunities, but many of them are
far from safe.
The daily press is full of offers Of
mining stocks, municipal and building
bonds, and other form sof investment.
Some of these are unqucstionably safe
and desirable, while others are far
from it. The difficulty is to tell the
good from the bad.
The country is making feeble and
spasmodic efforts to recover from it's
orgy of price initiation and spending,
with but Indifferent success.
If a panic or severe stringency
in the money market overtakes us, as
many think will be the case, these
stocks and bonds may suffer serious
shrinkages in value or become scraps
of paper upon which the holder finds
it difficult to realize.
Local citizens who are looking for
