THE FARMERS CORN AND HIS
WAGON

A farmer nVlng near SjulDertSOH
Nebraska, recently wrote Deere &
Co, of Moline. ILL.,, explaining that
he wanted q wagon but couldn't af
ford to buy one. Before the war, he
says, he could have bought the wa
son for two hundred bushels of
corn, Now his dealer wants $50
bushels That Is more than three
times the pre-war price. As corn
is lower now than 1t was when this
letter was written, the disparity be.
tween costs is even greater. Deere
& Co, replied. telling of the rise
in the price of wood through the
depletion of forests. The present
price of the wagons at Moline, the
letter said was 100 per cent above
the 1914 price. But the freight on
the wagon from Moline to Culbert-
son in 1914 was $l.3 a hundred,
while the present rate is $2.32. As
the wagon weight twelve hundred
pounds. the difference In freight is
$ll40. In addition must be consid-
cred the increased transportation
costs of the materials entering into
the wagon.
The freight handicap does not end
there. Deere & Co, point out that

Civic Club VIII Meet

The regular meeting of the Civic

freight would amount to $78. which

charge of $S0.40. you can tell well
from this the letter continues,
that 1t is absolutely impossible for
any of us to get back to normal
basis of prices until the cost of
transportation ls very materially
aeduced."
That fact is sufficiently obvious
and it is generally acknowledged
chat lower transportation charges
are essential If the exchange Of pro
duets is to continue on anything
like the old basis,
Another point is brought out by
tho correspondence. The farmer
cannot get back to buying as he
bought before the war so long as
the things he has to sell are so
much lower relatively than the
things he wishes to buy. II this
Nebraska farmer had had $50 bush
els of corn before the war to do his
purchasing with, he could have
bought his wagon with 200 bushels
and had 45O left to buy clothing.
furniture. phonograph and farm i'm
plements. Under existing cOndi-
liens, II he has to buy the wagon
with his $50 bushels he has nothing
left. He must 60 without.
This situation Is what is meant
when we say that industry Is out
of balance. On certain basis OF
price all sorts of commodities can
be exchanged to the greatest advan-
tage of all concerned. The indus
trial system gets adjusted to this
basis by the operation of supply
and demand over a period of years
The factory output in the United
States is adjusted to supply the far
mers when he can exchange his corn
and wheat for certain quantity Of
other commodities. II his purchas
ing power Is cut down through
these stations getting out of ad
justment, by the farmers products
being low while manufactured ar
ticles are high, the ordinary trade
cannot go on.
The balance won't be restored by
shutting our eyes and whistling
In the long run It will gradually
come back through the painful
process Of adjustment forced by sup
ply and demand. This process can
be made swifter and less painful
Is the needs of the situation are
generally recognized and are acted
on in reasonable spirit by every.
body in industry.-Kansas City

THE JOB OF A MAN

TT isn't the work we intended to do
Nor the work we've just begun,
That puts us right on the ledger
sheet:
It's the work we've really done.
Our credit Is built on the things
we do,
Our debts on things we shirk;
The man who totals the biggest
plus,
Is the one who completes his
work.
Good intentions do not pay bills.
It's easy enough to plan;
To wish is the play of an office boy,
To do Is the wish OF a man."

with Syracuse on the Syracuse grid
iron Friday, Nov. 49, A great many
OF the students are planning on
making the trip and helping the
boys win by their cheering.
The game Friday ends the foot
ball season for Holly. Altho this
was the first year of football in
Holly, the boys who composed the
lineup have played a very credit
able game and have assimilated
quite a good bit of football know
ledge. But one game was won by
the team this year and the defeats
they received were taken in good
spirit as part of the game. The
lineup for the season has been as
follows: Center, George SmeltZer;
Guards, Russell Taylor and Grant
Hill Tackles, James Fearno and
James Adkins; Ends, William
Shackelford and Dale Blair: Half
backs, Colin Wilson and George
Robson; Fullback, Reginald Har.
ris; Quarterback. Ranald Blair;
Substitutes. Orval COrdell and
George Beamon. Renald Blair was
captain of the football squd. The
boys have been hindered this year
because of lack of men to make
a scrimmage team. The boys of
the school have not responded very
readily to the call for men, only
about fifteen showing up. The
team, with the nucleus 1t now has
should work into first class fight
ing team by next year.
Basket ball practice will start In
about two weeks. Holly is going
