felt peeved when they studied the discrepancy
between what they received for their products
and what they were sold for to the consumer.
He believes that one reason for the big diff
ference between the price received by the farmer
and the price paid by the consumer is to be found
in the number of useless employees" engaged in
the work of distribution. Business men," he
said, must see that no useless employee is retain
ed to add to the cost of distributing what the
farmer now produces. Useless employees must be
released from non-productive work that they may
go into productive work.
LET us enjoy in America as highly developed
a system of distribution-and let this include all
the professions, dostors, lawyers, teachers, as
we'll as retailers, transportation, etc-as we now
have, but let us cut out the useless member, the
surplus one here and there, and give him an OPP
portunity to become producer upon the farm or
in the factory.
IF the entire country, all business and all
labor, does not recognize this as a common prob
lem and do those things which give the farmer
a fair compensation for his efforts, conditions
will not improve"

PATTY.
The charming name of Patty Is not
diminutive of Patricia as Is popular
ly supposed. but comes, curiously
enough, from Martha. For that reason
it means becoming bitter, deplte the
fact that it has always been bestowed
on the sweetest heroines of classic
fiction.
Patty has certain sacred signifi-
canoe, since it is derived from the
Martha, who was one of the sisters
of Bethany. 1t was she who Is said
to have destroyed by the sheer power
of her faith a fire eating dragon that
attacked her family while they were
on a pilgrimage. Although she Is
popularity supposed to have been the
sister of Mary Magdalen, there is
some doubt among historians on this
score.
But however 1t may be. Martha was
the forerunner of Patty, and gives
to the latter name, not only re-
ligious, flavor, but good, old fash
toned name, which has become almost
synonymous with domesticity. A cur
ious fact in her evolution is that she
was derived through Russia. where
Martha became Maria under Slavic

Graphing With Living Costs

E. T. Meredith, the new secretary of agricul-
ture, had hardly taken the oath of office before
he was asked to give his attention to the high
cost of living This problem in the minds of
most Americans overshadows all others. No Won
der that he found his desk covered with letters
and kilograms asking what he intended to do to
solve the problem,
IT am tempted to believe that the solution of
the problem lies more in the hands of those inter-
ested in distribution and nonproductive enter
prises than in the hands Of the farmers" was his
reply to newspaper men. 1T certainly does not
spur farmer to greater production to be obliged
to sell his products for half less than he later
sees them sold at retail"
