IL is becoming more evident every
day that the greatest OF all neeessi-
ties i'm connection with u food supply
is a radical reduction of the spread
in prices between the farm producer
ana the city consumer. We all know
that there is too wide a difference IL
the price at the farm and on the city
market stand, and we all know that
as a rule the middleman is response.
BILE for il. And we know that nothing
tends to discourage production more
than for the producer to see the big
end of the profit going into the pockets
of men who do nothing more than
hand the product over from the nan
who raises il TO the one who consumes
it.
We have talked along this line with
many farmers when they are In Ely
business, and as a rule they feel
that the great trouble lies in the fail
ure of our legislators to give market
the attention IL deserves. They
do not appear to want rabid laws, or
laws that would bring about a reyolu-
ton in buying. But they do feel that
something should be done to regulate
prices a little better after the com
modify has left the hand of the pro-
Queer. And they also feel that unless
this is done farmers throughout the
entire land are going to be discouraged
to the point where we will no longer
be raising more than we consume aud
enough for export.
Personally, We believe a remedy car
be found. and we believe our legisla
tors are the men to find It. At least
they can do no wiser thing than give
this matter attention-the thing they
promised 10 do, in most instances
when they announced themselves foi

I'm RECENT talks with Ely busl
ness men, aod from a carefu
i refusal of outside newspapers
we are inclined TO believe that prices
ON everything are about to become
settled again. and hat no decided
drops need be expected in the future
OF course. there will be a few Things
selling possibly a few cents cheaper
But prices generally appear to nave
reached a solid foundation now, and
II changes come throughout the spring
and summer months it will be TO
ward a higher level.
For this reason the man who has
been on a buying strike sheuld him
self get back to normal. We realize
hat the time for wild spending has
gone by. War and all its horrors has
gone. We cant forget it, but we can
leave it in the past like any other bad
memory. and get back on the Job as
we once were. No merchant is going
to encourage you in foolish spending.
But we believe you will be wise in &C
cepting their verdict that prices have
at last reached the stable point, and
that fluctuations will now be small
either way. Whatever you have held
off buying, now would be a safe time
to buy it. Factories the
period of readjustment fast nearing an
end. and they are new in pretty good
shape to see into the future, a thing
they could not do a year or more ago
They are assuring your home merch
a stable price, as a rule, on the
things he buys. So we feel you are
pretty safe in taking the merchant
word for il that you are not going to
profit very much. and may stand to
lose. if you do not go back to buying
in the old way.

There are W kinds Of towns IN
this country that are drifting, and get
ting no place; that are really entitled
to sympathy. One is the town that
could support a live Commercial Club
but won't, and the other is the town
that has a Commercial Club but won't
help it to live.
Residents of Ely know enough about
the inside workings of a live, snappy,
progressive organization of business
and professional men in other towns
to know what could be accomplished
here. They don't have to be told that
for natural resources. for a place in
which to live and rear a family. no
other community on the face of
the earth offers better advantages
than this. Yet the average citi-
zen is apt to content himself with
leaving il to the other fellow TO place
these facts before the outside world
The newspaper does its share, and ii
speaks a coed word for the people and
community every week. But 1t must

ton of all citizens to make its boost
for the town successful.
Any man knows two horses can pull
more than one. Then why shouldn't
twenty men accomplish more, when
pulling in the same direction, than a
half dozen. And why should the ma.
jority be content to let the town stand
still because a few are willing to let
1t drag along2 The argument is all in
favor of the live Commercial Club, or
Chamber of Commerce, or whatever
you may choose to call such an organ
ization But If it isn't a live one, and
one In which every citizen takes an
individual interest and lends a help
ing hand. then it is even worse than
none and still leaves the town in a
helpless position so far as progress
is concerned.

a cattle stampede in which hundreds
of panic-stricken animals are seen in

To John Bowers is allotted the role
Of 1.-THE Sky Pilot" while others in
