THE LOSSES OF FARMERS

Never before in the history of or ganized grain markets have prices fallen so much within a similar period of time as in the last few months. From the high record of early summer wheat has declined s1.2O bushel and corn about SIPS a bushel. Mi For grams have declined proportion ately Wheat sold above s3 a bushel Tn Kansas City last June, and it is now around 10 cents under that price for December delivery.
 Carlots of corn sold close to So a bushel in June, and they are now around 90 cents, while the December delivery price has fallen below 70 cents a bushef, compared with S1.57 at the end of June.
 Numerous elaborate calculations have been put forth showing the cost of producing wheat. In Kansas 2,057 wheat growers reported actual ex- penses of the 1919 crop which made the average cost of production that year more than S2 a bushel. Esti- mates of the cost of this years crop are still greater.
 In Missouri the average estimated cost of producing and marketing the 1919 crop are still greater.
 In Missouri the average estimated cost of producing and marketing the 1919 crop, as reported by the state board of agriculture, was S2.05 bushel.
 From the entire United States the average cost of producing the 1919 crop was S2.15 a bushel, according to a comprehensive report issued last June by the Department of Agricul ture at Washington.
 These figures are recalled to show that farmers have good reason for resentment over the great decline that has occurred in the market, whatever may be the economic reasons for the slump. If the cost figures are correct the average farmer, and those below the average, Rpd themselves suddenly confronted with the distressing situ- tion of having to do business at loss.

prepared by the u S. Department of

The question, "Why is runt?' has
been answered by hundreds of live
stock raiserS who have filed in and
returned QUESTIONABLE reports sent
out by the United States Department
of Agriculture. These reports-near-
ly thousand of them-show that in
ferior breeding, poor feeding, and par
asites are the three principal causes
of undersized and underdeveloped an
imals. In fact, about 70 per cent OF
runtiness is traceable to these factors.
All of these factors are under the con-
troll of breeders or stock raisers who
by controlling them. can, in large
degree, eliminate runts, which, accord

ABANDONED BY THE LEADERS
Change to Some Extent Forced by
Buyers, Many insisting on Plain
Figures-Origin of Code Sys-
tenn Not Clearly Known.

New York.-Among. the less notice
able and important changes that have
taken place in the business world in
the last few years has been the grad
ual disappearance OF codes in connec-
tion with price tickets and the mark
ing of the values of the merchandise
in plain figures. While many concerns
still stick to pricing their lines in code,
the trade leaders have very largely
abandoned the practice. Smaller con-
Germs have followed suit to some eX-
tent, but others have been loath to
put plain figures on their goods.
The change from code TO figures In
marking prices, according to informal
tion gained in this market, has been
forced to some extent by the buyers.
There are many retailers and special
buyers for the big stores who viii not
patronize a concern which hides it's
prices behind code. The reason one
such buyer gave recently for this is
that the code does not mean the same
to all buyers when translated into fig
ures. In other words, he asserted that
the use of code is merely subter-
fuge by means of which different buy
ers can be charged different prices for
the same merchandise without their
knowing it.
Origin Not Clear.

system of marking prices was origi-

MOntre;li.-In May, 1915, Corporal
Cornelius of the Royal Northwest

HerSchel island. He departed quietly,
without any flourish of trumpets. He
teturned the other day TO civilization
gaiu for the first time, as silently as
Z had left it. Over six years of his

ness, four of them i'm the sole COM

the government later.
Two years were passed at Fort Nc
PhersOn where the big supply of pro-
visions Hnd building material were dis
posed. comfortable winter quarters es-
tablished. and patrols of the surround
Ing country undertaken.
The two Eskimo murderers who were
taken out by the corporal and offered
their freedom were so much taken
with the ways of the white man that
they asked permission to enter the
service of the police, and were both
engaged, much to their delight They
rendered great service as guides and

Two Years in WiIds.
La 1917 Corporal Cornelius was
Joined by Constable Brockie and the
two set out for Herschel island where
they spent two years with frequent
patrols in the far corners of the un-
charted wildS. Their next move was
along the shores of the Arctic to Coro-
nation gulf. dOg-sled trip of some 800
miles. where another two years were
passed in patrols to Bathurst inlet,
Kent peninsula. All points on the
'Outh and west sides of Victoria island
Victoria Land and Prince Albert
ound were made during that period.
The final trip was taken from CorO-
nation gulf via Bear lake to Fort Nor
man, down the river to Fort McPher-
son, then north to Herschel island, and
hack by the coast TO Coronation gulf
once more, with another return trip
via Herschel island through Fort
Mcpherson up the Mackenzie river and
home by the summer steamboat. This
latter trip was taken by dog sled. a
distance of LOO miles being covered
The total patrols by dog sled last win
Ter ran around $500 miles.
New headquarters were made at
Fort EItworth, the patrol. accompanied
by Staff Sergeant Clay, establishing
this post. The party lived in snow
huts for the greater part of this time
and arbsisted on the simple diet of
the wilds eked out by such ratiOns as
they were able to carry on sleds. They
built wooden hut at Fort Epworth
however, and enjoyed mild taste of
civilization.
Two Are Acquitted.
In 1918, two alleged Eskimo mur-
derers were brought in by the coast
route by Sergeant Conway. These two
men, Kayugana and Komuk, had been
tried by Inspector Phillips for the muir
der of an Eskimo woman, whom both
of them claimed as wife. They were,
