Emblems of our own great resurrect-

Emblems of the bright and better

Hauling Stuff Around Makes it Cost
So Much.


Woman Shield: One of the CHIEF
resons for the high cost of living
was explained by Henry Ford when
he said the question of Transports
ton is not only a matter of engines,
cars and tracks, but also the useless
carting around the country of ma
terials that need not be carted. What
is the use of hauling live steer all
the way from Texas, turning it into
beef at Chicago and hauling it all
the way back to Texas again? What
is the use of hauling wheat, and then
hauling it back again as -four? Il
doubly burdens the railroads, puts
the farmer at the mercy Of central
lied buyers, and adds heavily to the
consumers bill. Wheat should be
turned into four where it is raised.
Hogs should be shipped as hams and
bacon-the finished product. Wher-
ever possible the process of product
ion should bs completed in the COM
munity where it begins, This would
relieve the railways, make each COM
munity more Independent of railway
exigencies and be better all around.
Some years ago the SHIELD traced
4 bushel Of wheat grown on an Iowa
farm and sold in Des Moines back to
he man who raised it, after it had
1een made into -four. The wheat was
.old to 9 local buyer, who shipped it
o Chicago and sold it to wholesal-
RS who sold it to millers in Mime
lpohs; they made it into flour and
old it to grocers in Des Moines.
When the farmer bought his 'own
wheat back in the shape of -four, he
lad paid commission to twelve mid
lemen, profits to half dozen peo-
lie who had bought and sold it, and
to several railroads. ;

WHY SOME THINGS
COST so MUCH
If Meat Comes Down Much More the
Farmer Who Produces Ii Can
Afford to Buy 1t.
THE DIFFERENCE NOW
AND YEARS AGO
There's a Very Considerable Differ
ence Between Buying Meat and
ard Making II.

The 81. Paul Pioneer Press sug
gests that ff the price al mea
comes down much more. il win reacI
point where the farmer who pro.
Iduces the meat can afford TO buy it,
And the Marshalltown Times Repub.
lican says that years ago when we
were boys, farmers didn't buy meat;
they made it.
Somebody wondered the other day
.if there were q scalding barrel and a
gambrel stick left on a farm. OF
course there are such things there
|yet but he hadn't seen them for 50
long that he wondered if they had
totally disappeared.
There s very considerable differ
ence between buying meat and max
ling 1t. It's the difference between
the hogyard and a Chicago packing
house, say 500 miles of freight rates
both ways. Included in the difference
are a number OF nigh paid butchers
and meat cutters and several of
those "mlddlemen' who, surely ought
to get something for the service they
perform. It's the difference between
ones self and paying for service and
nowadays nothing costs more than
service and sometimes even paying
for it fails to get it.
No, it isn't necessary to put the
gambrel stick and the scalding bar
rel and the sausage horn in the his
torical museums-yet. But soon,
dye think?
Now as to butter. It's high. The
man who owns the cows isn't looking
for it to come down so that he viii
be able to buy it. But speaking of
butter the other day somebody spoke
of its high price. A town dweller
remarked that his butter cost him
IS cents a pound. He explained that
he went TO a creamery and bought
cream, churned it at home and had
Elegant butter He figured his
buttemilk byproduct at 10 cents and
found MS butter cost him just 81
gents a pound. That is the home SER
vice that served itself represented
/ the difference between the retail
iprice Of butter and its cost to him.
That's the mans story.
/ We didn't "usc to- think much
about the cost Of meat. When time
I came we butchered d couple OF
"hawgs,' along about cornhuskfag
time. Later we bUtchered couple
/ more maybe and got a quarter Of

GLOVES SCARCE AND COSTLY

handing the long gloves and there is a
shortage of both labor and materials"

400 francs a dozen. with the hair. That
was about S. a goat. Now, with the
cost Of living what Il Is. a goat giving
milk is worth $3.50 for the milk alone,
and then there remains the goat and
the kid. Obviously II is moi policy to
sell under such conditions. We are
sending coal over to France Il costs
there $5S a ton. All provisions are
high. Nothing need be expected in
glove skins until the cost Of living is
lowered.
"The French women do the finest

now many more remuneratlve lines OF
work than glovemaking.

IF CHECKED or cracked,
j new paint is needed, and it
will be cheaper to paint now
for deterioration costs more than
good paint.
A well painted house brings
several hundred dollars more on
sale and more in rent. Keep it
painted and it stays new for
years.
The best paint spreads more
easily - saves labor cost. 1t
covers more square yards - you
buy more gallons of cheap paint.
The best paint then protects
the house, if properly applied,
from five to ten years longer.
There is no question as to
which costs less. Don't allow
surfaces TO rot. Ii costs less to
paint them.
The best paints are scientific
in formula and preparation.
