WHY THE FARMER COMPLAINS.

With hogs bringing only $40 a hundredweight at the Chca-
go Stock-Yards, where in July last year the quotation was
$3.50, and with wheat and flour at less than one-half the
price commanded before the decline began, the American farm
er has a grievance which he naturally voices.
These sharp reductions in basic-food values ought to be re-
Elected in the commodity markets everywhere, but they are not.
Most of the things that the farmer buys are presented to him at
wartime figures. The price of his products is cut in half, but
if he were to purchase ham, bacon, lard or bread made possible
by his toll, or clothing and household goods fabricated by work
ing people whom he feeds, he would find that readjustment.
If visible at all, was proceeding by very easy stages.
Between the farm and the primary markets our system of
works admirably. 1t is so arranged that the grow
er OF cattle and hogs and grain never gets a cent more than his
due. But from primary market to consumer the ~toiltakers are
many The eyes and ears of these people, alert for so much
s a runor OF advancing prices, are commonly closed to declines

~ III retall lines because war wages, war extravaganza and war
profits are still the rule.
Inc farmer Is Justified in his complaints and should be
heard. At the other end of the scale is the consumes. more
submissive but equally a victim. The middleman will not Weld

pecially in Washington where the
family has been so well-known for
generations past. Mr.. Gunnell's
mother was a Miss Rittenhouse and
lived in that lovely old historic Rit-

picturesque fashion with that of

straight line from them to the
brides father. became again the
scene of a wedding.
The bridegroom graduated from
Camp Humphreys School OF En-

its decorations daisies and rambler
roses. which abound in the grounds,
and the flowers of all the attendants

Robert E. Lee.

Not since "The Clansman" blazed a
fiery trail of glory through the South
has there been written drama so pow
crful and engrossing as Thomas Dix,
on's newest play, Robert f. lee; '
While it is thrillingly dramatic it is
historically true. The author has one
of those compelling minds that makes
people think. When he writes play
it not only contains punches, but 1t is
full of punches. This newest offering,
like 1.-THE Clansman." will be the cause
of much controversy, for Mr.. Dixon I'M
covers the truth of history, and truth
is not always popular, although in the
end it will prevail. For 30 years he has
been a close student of the history of
the South and no man knows it any
better. This wealth of information has
been utilized in building this play
around the striking figure OF the great
man of the South, man whose name
will always live like thosg of Wash
ineton, Jefferson and Lifcoln.
Although this is biographical play:
it is not a loose-knit compendium OF
isolated scenes, but a sweeping drama
that has all Of the intensity, surprises
and climax Of fictional play.
The play of Robert +. Lee VIII be
presented at the Lyric for three nights
