USE ECONOMIC
 FORCES AGAINST PROFTTEERS' GAME

There are two ways to get at ~profiteering-' The first is through law and court action This is round about and involved in all the tangles of litigation
 The second way is to get economic forces working against this abuse The American people can end the profteering abuse very quickly any time they make up their minds to do ii, and really want to- It will take general cooperation, however, or the part of the people, There are just two things that will do it.
 The first is to produce such an abundant supply of all articles that the supply will exceed the demand. You can't have profiteering when such a condition exists Producers and sellers of goods under such cir lc1mstances are anxious to get rid of them, and will make sacrifices to move them.
 Any man can verify this statement out of his own experience He knows that when an abundant supply of any rcrop is raised, prices go down. That when the supply becomes scarce, prices go up- It is just the same with manufactured goods
 There can not be this sufficient supply of commodities, so long as 50 many people are spending extrava- ,gantly. It keeps supplies low, which permits profteers to charge anything they Want to- It takes labor away from production of necessaries of life, and puts it to work on 1uxuries, with the result that the necessities rise in price.
 Legal action against profiteering is a slow, complicated, and uncertain method of procedure But ample pro- duction and economy will quickly smash the H. c. of l.. The American people can't wear silk shirts and have cheap food at the same time.

Different From the Farm Bureaus

StarLeu-IOr tnere are nearly OVtVVO OF
them in Missouri.
Different From the Farm Bureaus
In conclusion. the farmers of Buch-
anan County should not confuse
the Farm Club Movement with
the Farm Bureau which is now
inaugurating powerful member
ship campaign in different parts
of the state. When the authori-
ties OF the College Of Agriculture were
recently asked to define the purpose
Of the Farm Bureau they frankly con-
fessed that It was chiefly an "Educa-
tional Agency" which supplements the
work OF the County Farm Agents
that being connected with the College
OF Agriculture and the Federal De-
partment OF Agriculture it cannot ac-
organizing and financing Grain Eleva-
tors. Produce Exchanges. etc, or in
buying commodities at the wholesale
price-that these are battles which the
farmer must fight out for himself.
Therefore il the farmers of your coun-
ty want an organization that is educa-
tional, that will enable you 10 hire
a County Farm Agent or that will in
crease crop production, the Farm
Bureau is alright and the Missouri
Farmers Association has no protest
to make against It. On the other hand.
il you want an organization that will
bring home the bacon"-that isn't
tied TO the apron strings OF a state
or federal institution and that will
help you get better price for your
grain, live stock, poultry products and
cream and through which you can OBJ
tain flour, feed. farm seeds, binder
twine, fertilizers, coal salt, automo-
bile tires and tubes at the lowest
wholesale price, then you need a solid
Farm Club organization in your COM
munity at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Also there is this further diff
ference between the Farm Clubs and
the Farm Bureaus. The Farm Bureaus
are now asking an annual membership
fee of IS per year for life in some
counties. while in others the annual
dues are $40 per year On the other
hand, the yearly dues in the Farm
Clubs are only s2.5O-and the farmer
is not asked TO "sign up for life." In
other words, it, after a farmer has
belonged to a Farm Club for a year
he doesn't feel satisfied with his re-
suits. he is at liberty TO drop out
and the best evidence that the farm
Clubs are delivering the goods" is
found in the fact that they are grow
ing at a tremendous rate. And here
again is another difference. With the
Farm Clubs, the farmers do all the
organizing--that is, when a Club is
organized in one school district, its
members help to organize clubs in the
adjoining districts. The Farm Bureau.
on the other hand, employs paid or
ganizers who receive $40 per day and
their expenses-and OF course this ex-
pense comes out OF the farmers
pocket.
II, therefore. in view of the torego-
ing facts the farmers who chance to
read this article would like to start
the Farm Club Movement in their
communities they should imm ediately
hold consultation over the telephone
or otherwise with their neighbors.

NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT

with paid up capital of $500. Then
the old private Elevator was bought
out for $4,000 and when the financial
statement was published several
weeks ago 1t showed that after our
directors had paid the cost of man
agement set aside 1879 in the, reserve
fund, paid 10 interest on the capital
stock of $500, they had $500 left
to divide among their members in pro-
portion to the grain each member had
sold or the commodities he had pur-
chased. In other words, this Elevator
paid all costs Of management, 10 on
the capital, 1919 in the reserve fund
and then our members had left
$500 more than the old Elevator
cost them in the first place And we
could cite dozens OF similar examples
which show that the farmers of Mis-
souri, are sacrificing millions yearly
to the present grain selling system.
II you ship out as much as 80 car
loads of corn, wheat and oats from
your station yearly, then you need
a Farm Club Elevator-and our State
Association will gladly furnish COM
plete instructions, articles Of incor-
poration and also has in It's employ
a high class contractor who can in
voice an old plant for you or furnish
blue prints for a new one.
Other Splendid Features
But this isn't all: Within the next
year the Farm Clubs expect TO organ
ize their own Live Stock Commission
Company at the National Stock Yards,
Kansas City and at ST. Joseph and
thus save a goodly share OF the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars we now
pay out TO the Live Stock Commits
sion firms. Likewise we expect with
in the next year to ask for a seat on
the Merchants Exchange in ST. Louis
so we may sell and buy grain at the
Central marlSet-another plan which
involves savings running into the thou
sands Perhaps as interesting as any
thing else however is the fact that
within the next 60 days we expect to
begin making and renewing farm loans
through our County Secretaries and
thus save all the local loan agents
bonuses and commissions for our
members, The least commission the
average loan agent charges is one
half Of % for, five years, while many
charge 10 for five years. II they on
ly make the former charge, It amounts
to $3.50 on a $4,000 loan or $500 il
they charge the latter rate-and II
you have a loan coming due in the
near future, wouldn't you like to save
this margin through the Farm Clubs
and get your money at 5Is co net?
The foregoing is the "boiled down
story OF the Farm Clubs. There are
many other interesting features which
we cannot discuss for lack Of space
but they can be had in our literature
which is free for the asking. II you
expect to be in the market for flour,
mill feed farm seeds commercial fer
tilizes or binder twine you should call
up your neighbors the moment you
get through reading this article and
ask them to Join you in calling an
