Who Was Prohteering?

Mrs. Emma Just of Presto sends
in the following letter regarding the
margins made by dealers:
d. have middleman story that |
would like to scatter far and wide and
see If any one can tell which political
party is to blame. A rancher in the
hills wanted to buy a load of oats
a few days ago. He tried to buy of
us, we only had what we needed so
he went to the nearest elevator and
they sskei him $3.50 per huhied
He looked around and seeing a
farmer said, Say, have you any oats
to let me have?"
Eyes, go on over to my place and
/ will be along soon, l want to see
what these elevator fellows are pay
ing" The rancher drove along on
his way home, four or five miles,
they sacked his load and the farmer
said, "They only offered me 800 a
HUNDRED, l think it should be worth
10 cents more" The buyer said,
II will give you more" The oats
were loaded, the farmer didn't have
to haul it and the rancher got 1t
cheaper and nearer home and each
were ahead about IS or SO.
He called here on his way home
and said they had fooled one middle
man out of his margin.
1t seems to me this is something we
should look into, when the man in
the office makes more off Of a sack of
grain than the farmer who raises it,
and he may sell it in less than week
while the farmer is six months get
ting it on the market.
Sincerely,
EMMA JUST.
Shelley, route 2.
Further investigation reveals that
r. d. Ziegler was the purchaser of
the oats and Willis Higley was the
farmer who sold it. We did not
learn who was the middleman spoken
of as the nearest elevator.

The Lucky Guy

The Lucky Guy
An auto bumped him in the shins; /,
A horse stepped on his face.
A car ran DER his portside hip
And knocked it out of place.,
A safe fell down from out the sky
And landed on his chest;
Caved in a dozen ribs and tore
Six buttons from his vest.
But when he sued for damages
And finally got them, why,
HIS friends all murmured solemnly,
Gee, he's lucky guy!"

Discussing some of the causes for
building inactivity he reports:
Il am constrained to the belief
that our friends, the bankers. made
serious error in permitting the
imitation which took place between
the spring of 10 and the spring OF
20, for had they put on the brakes
when they found the reserve dimin-
ishing, they could have stemmed the
tide of imitation, and prevented
much of the suffering which has
been experienced during the year.
The result of all this has been
to create among the institutions
that ordinarily financed building
construction. and investors in gen.
