here. Now, what we reallq want is
better school houses (Which we can
build ourselves); better equipment for
teachers and students and people who
have the patience and ideals to build
up better school system, in which
children are taught to be useful to free
themselves from the falsifier who de-
ceives the weakling and creates mem
tai attitude that allows him to prey
upon his victims and keep them en-
slaved; a school in which the Broth
erhood of Man is our ideal, and that
works to its consummation by actual
deeds, instead of theories and words.
We want to build home for orphan
ed children, where the little folks can
be taken care of in the proper way,
to let them realize that all are born
with the right to grow up and take
their proper place in the world. We
want the best of teachers, and be-
lieve we will get them as fast as our
equipment offers them the opportun-
ity. We are pioneering a new method
and it is no small job, but we are sure
of success as our methods are right
and principles conform to natural law.
There is no greater pleasure or more
beneficial occupation than giving chill
dren the proper start in the world. Es-

Thursday.-In reading through the
daily paper came upon two real In
teresting things. In an editorial the
paper says "Cheer up. the Worst Is
Over" then it tells how well off the
farmer is in the South and that from
now on he will have no occasion for
economic worry. In the same paper
is news item giving a report headed,
Famine Deaths Faced By 10000
Cotton Tenants, and made by the
United States Health Service. saying
100000 Of our people are starving on
southern farms. at least one-tenth of
them will die and greater number
will perish if relief is not given at
once. Isn't that terribIep The richest
nation in the world allowing its most
useful citizens to die of starvation.

BOIL WEVILS PLAYING
HAVOC IN COTTON BELT

There is an unusually severe boil
wevil infestation this year in nearly
all, sections of the South, according
to the Department of Agriculture.
From series of surveys made by the
departments laboratory at Iallulah,
La, during the last seven years, it has
been determined that the infestation
this year is the heaviest which has
been experienced in any of tn sea-
sons, except that of 1916, and is very
nearly as heavy as it was that year
The surveys, made from 1915 to
1921 inclusive, were on IL planta-
tons in Madison parish, La, the same
points being taken each year and
something over 100000 points exam
ined annually, usually during the first
week in June. From. these examin-
ations the number of Revis are noted
and the ratio of cotton plants per we
vii computed. The number Of wevils
during the observations were: 1915,
Il77; 1916. 100; 1917. 5,525; 1918,
AL; 1919, 245; 1920 I'll; 1921.
l52. The observations, the depart
ment says, afford fair degree Of
comparison Of the infestations devel-
oping each season.
These comments. Of course, says
the department, apply only to the in
festation of hibernated wevils and this
infestation does not necessarily deter
mine the degree of damage which will
be experienced during the season. be-
cause weather conditions may oper-
ate to offset this high initial infesta-
tion and thus reduce the damage lat
er. However, it simply means this; if
the injury by the wevil is to be no
more than normal, the weather must
be abnormally unfayorable to the cot
ton plant. Thus the chances are
against the farmer at the outset"

SLOAN CHARGED WITH
HEAVY BILL BY ROAD

Attorneys for the Milwaukee rail
road yesterday filed in the office of
the district court the costs that the
road demands Paul Sloan shall paw
as a result of his suit against the
the road. These amount to $1,702.74.
Sloan sued the railroad for $4,000
which he claimed was the amount Of
damage done to shipment of cattle
brought from South Dakota to Gal
latin. After the testimony was all
in it was found that the Chicago,
Northwestern road, which received
the cattle. had not been made party
to the suit and the counsel for the
with the right to bring q new suit.
The Milwaukee then filed the above
bill, which was mainly for witness
fees and mileage. It is probable that
J Sloan will contest the bill.

WHERE THE FARMER LOSES.

The reports of the department of agriculture
and certain instances of the labor costs in freight
carrying are intimately connected.
The agricultural report is that the value of
farm crops in 1920 was S5,105OO0,OOO less than
in 1919, and that the chief reductions in values
were in wheat, corn, cotton, hay potatoes and
OATS the value of the corn crop alone having de-
clined more than billion and half. Those fig /
ures do not of course indicate proportionate de-
crease in production. Indeed it is probable that
the production of some crops considerably increas-
ed. There has simply been a great decline in the
prices received or to be received by the agricul-
tural producers
The association of railroad executives point
out that:
In 1917 the freight rate on bushel of wheat
from Kansas to New York was q cents. At the
present time the labor cost alone Of transporting
a bushel of wheat from Kansas to New York is
27 cents the same as the entire cost of the oper
alton in 1917.
The freight rate cement from New Jer-
sey point to Philadelphia, Pa, in 1917 was 63
cents per hundred pounds. The present rate is
1876 cents. The labor cost in this transportation
at the present time is 675 cents or more than the
total rate in 1917.
The freight rate on livestock from a Montana
point to Chicago Ill., in 1917 was 48 cents per hum
dred pounds. The present rate is 1875 per hun
dred pounds an increase of 25.5 cents. The labor
cost in this transportation is now 367 cents, or
about II cents more than the increase in rate.
| The price loss does not extend between the
producer of wheat and cattle and the labor cost
of moving those commodities to market. The
price of moving freight goes up and not down.
/ nd instead of an increase of transportation
there has been definite loss of production, in
that line
Wheat and other kindred commodities are
priced on the sale of the surplus crop. Wheat
prices are controlled by what the surplus wheat
of wheat producers will sell for on the Liverpool
markets-(when it is not controlled by the clevel
: manipulations of the market gamblers). The in
Creased price of transportation then is paid by
the producer. If he must sell on a market many
miles away he must pay out Of his bushel the cos
] of getting it there. If he must pay war prices
and receive pre-war prices for his product his ne
1 receipts will be shy the difference.
The farmers and producers cannot raise grain
: and food price controlled on it's surplus Will
S labor costs are relieved from the law of suppl
S and demand by arbitrary price fixing. The cos
! of living has come down. More than that, tn
d manner of living has been modified by those VIII
are suffering the loss on farm prices. And the
+ are more than justified in demanding that tn
e labor costs of transportation shall feel the prur
e ing knife.

Maybe we're crazy. Let it go at that. What's
the difference? Whichd you rather me, crazy in
car or pluggin along sane in the dust? And for
the matter of that most folks are crazy one way
or another. Amt it the truth?
The psychiatrists may stand by the roadside
with warning in his mouth, out the populace will
step on 'er just the same and lie to each other
about what hills they took on high and about what
the speedometer showed "on that level stretch

being 377 and 348. Cattle have in

crease in sheep is marked, there be-

The crop figures are for 1909 and
1919, the later being the poorest year

there were 62,187 acres producing

1909. Barley has also dropped off,
there being 1885 acres producing &c.
273 bushels in 1919 compared with
1884 acres producing 16O,622 bushels
in 1909. The poor year of 1919 is
also reflected in the hay yields, 5O,-
994 acres yielding 69,691 tons COM
pared with the 1909 figures of 49,
730 acres producing 86,934 tons.
1t might be interesting to note that
the figures from jefferson county
show but 555 farms and from Madi-
son 901 farms. In the latter county
the total acreage is smaller than in
the Gallatin, but farms are in larger
tracts. The area of improved land in

the trader buys in the cheaper mar
