most reprehensible, and will react
disastrously.
Third Attempts to maintain
wages al or near the inflated war
basis should be discontinued. Re-
strictions upon individual efficiency
and production should not be longer
imposed or tolerated. Willingness to
work a reasonable number of hours
should supplant attempts TO en-
force shorter day.
Fourth-Retailer should promptly
readjust their prices so as to cor
reetly reflect reductions by manu-
facturers and wholesalers.
Fifth-Rents and interest charges
should be substantially reduced.
"Until these things are DONE" the
farm statement warns, or price
equality otherwise restored, what
reason is there to expect farmers to
resume buying on a normal scale (?
1t will be a grievous mistake to as
sumo that they can or will do so?"

Washington, ID. C.-"Why the
Farmer Quit Buying" is the inform
ative caption of remarkable state
ment just issued here by the Ma
tional Grange, the American Farm
Bureau Federation and the Interna-
tional Farm Congress, the most in
f1uential agricultural organizations
of the country.
The admission is made in the state
ment that the farmers of the
nation quit buying for various rea-
sons, notable among which is the
fact that the value of their prod
ucts, measured by comparison with
the valuation placed upon the things
they buy, is far below normal.
The statement makes clear that
before farmers will be able and will
ing to resume buying on a normal
scale, one of two things must hap
pen there must be an increase in
the price levels of farm products suf-
ficent to restore their proper and fair
relationship to the other bases. of
value, or the price levels of what the
farmers buy must come to the plane
of the values of farm products.
at is commended" the statement
declares, (" that there is slight hope
of prices of farm products greatly
enhancing in the near future. If
this is true, the only way to bring
about the return of normal business
activity viii be to lower other prices
sufficiently to restore parity"
The farmers statement makes a
strong point of the question of the
actual value of the manufactured
article.
Those who are expecting to buy
an article of commerce are fairly en-
titled to inquire into the costs of
manufacture or preparation that
constitute the basis for the price
they are asked to pay for it," the
statement said. 'Tf unnecessary or
unreasonable cost items are disclosed,
refusal to purchase is justified"
The farmers organizations believe
that economy can be effected in the
costs of manufacturing, distribution
and merchandising and the follow
ing methods are suggested:
First-All unnecessary overhead
expenses should be eliminated.
Standardization of output, ex-
cept in cases of actual over produc-
ton, should be unheard of. Resort to
this practice for the purpose of main
tanning prices at an unfair level is

would reach almost two miles; also
seventy 51a Inch flues. having a total
length of more than quarter of a
mile. The fire boxes are 10 feet long
and 9 feet wide.
The shipment of these large locomo-
tiyes from the point of construction
to the point Of service presented an
unusually peculiar and difficult prob
lem requiring great care and attention,
for the reason that the tracks and
bridges of the various railroads over
which they had TO move were not. in
all cases, built to withstand such ire
mendous weights. They were shipped
In a partially knocked-down condition
and approximately two weeks were re-
CURED to move them from Schenectady.

cars were necessary to carry the loose

Keep Steam Up.

Folks who steam up and stay
steamed win the confidence of their
fellows. There's enough to do in life
to keep the average fellow on the 20.
But unless it makes a special appeal
to his ideals it will be little better
than drudgery His challenge must
come from the unsealed heights Of
promising possibilities. He must see
the reward Of effort In rich returns.
Then he will give himself unstinted 70
