Going Up.

DECLINING prices are always &C
companied by uncertainty, slackened
business and psssimism for the future.
The buying public waits until bedrock
is struck, hoping thereby to save, as
individuals, few dollars in first cost.
Hence downward price movement
usually continues until bedrock has
been hit, continues to the point where
prices cannot again be cut without
leaving wrecked concerns everywhere.
And that is precisely what has
happened in the past two years. But
the worm has turned The price
trend today is upward Under those
conditions, everyone seeks to get on
the band wagon. Prices stimulated by
increasing demand, continue to climb
Every cent means more buying, if for
no other reason reason than that pure
selfishness prompts purchasers to
save a few pennies or to prosper by
further initiation of values.

Y OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
War Scandals are Matching.

Senator Caraway of Arkansas has
made number of bitter attacks upon
Attorney General Daugherty, and the
latter has replied that he would like
to enjoy the privilege of sitting with
Congress, by virtue of the fact that he
is Cabinet member, in order that he
might make a reply in the same forum
where he MAS been assaulted. The state
ments of Senator Caraway and num-
Der of other members of the two
branches of Congress, have evidently
penetrated under the hide of the At
torney General, and he has struck
back against what he calls a political
attack with the retort that "influen-
tial personages" in the Wilson admin
istration put the muffler on the inves-
tigation of scandals that will soon be
notorious. 1.-TWO cases of the first
magnitude are ready for prompt sub

Is There Niger in the Woodpile?

The Tourist Problem.

AFTER campaign extending over
several months, Boise has finally
raised $1,000, the amount deemed nee
essary to operate the Boise tourist
park this season on free basis.
Over the country generally, there
is growing sentiment that free tuor-
ist park service has been overworked,
that the time is close at hand when
the travelling public, not the town,
should maintain these parks. And
there is sense to the sentiment.
Probaly every city would immedi-
ately pursue such policy but for one
single thing; cooperation is essential.
All must begin at the same time else
every town which initiates such a
movement would be given black eye
from coast to coast.
Primarily tourist parks are adver-
Using ventures. When the idea was
conceived, it bore fruit because the
auto travelling public generally was
looking for new locations and a well
equipped tourist park unquestionab1y
determined many to abide in that
town.
But freedom is always abused. And
free tourist parks have been no ex-
ception. Today there are many fami-
lies who spend every summer in auto
mobiles and free tourist parks. 1t is
a cheap and pleasing way to spend a
summer vacation. They have no in
tention of doing anything else than
return to their homes at the end OF
the tourist season. Not infrequently
they find park to their liking and
remain there all summer.
Such stuff is nothing more than an
abuse OF privilege. To stop it, some
nominal fee should be charged for all
tourists. People generally expect and
want to pay for what they get. The
tourist park privilege should be no ex-
ception.

PRIMARY results in Indiana,
Pennsylvania and Oregon indicate
that the public is tired of the old
names that perrenially occur on bal
lots pushed out for them to sign. All
three election results have been
twisted and tangled by political dope
sters until explanations are really
more numerous than were the candi-
dates. Few concede the real explana-
ton Results from coast to coast need
no further explanation than that the
public is more and more aligning it.

honest and intelligent enough to
think for themselves and that they
have the moral courage to stand
by justice and right, and not be
a rubber stamp for others to use
as they may see fit and we can
correct these conditions, but until
the farmers and the common people
assert and demand their rights they
are not going to let them.
If there ever was a time when
set of people needed help it is
the farmers at this time, because
if things don't change he cannot
stay on his farm, educate his
children and buy clothing and shoes
for them to go to school in the
winter.
| am quite sure there are people
in this county who think a farmer
and his family don't need clothing
like the city dude but if he sends
his children to school in the winter
he must buy them warm clothing,
shoes and books. | know there
are farmers in this neighborhood
who are not able to do it from the
proceeds of his farm at present
prices, because his crops will not
pay for the high priced supplies
that he has had to buy during the
year to make his crop.
There are some other things in
our county which | do not think
are being handled right, but | shall
not take it up at this time, but
perhaps will do it later because
believe that when the peoples at
tention is called to wrongs and they
can see and know where the wrongs
are that they will correct them, but
if there is nothing said about it.,
wrongs will go on sometimes until
they are hard to correct.
| shall be glad to hear from any
other citizen in the county on any
public matter that he wishes to dis
cuss, and if there are any who
think | am wrong in my views as
set out herein l shall be glad to
hear from you and we will discuss
these matters for if we never COM
plain or say anything about bad
conditions and make some effort
to correct them they hardly ever
correct themselves.

TO THE CITIZENS OF PEARL
RIVER COUNTY

attended the Booster meeting
at the court house in Poplarville
a few days ago, and / enjoyed the
speeches made by all Of them and
from the interest manifested and
the large attendance ! think the
meeting will be of great benefit to
the people of our county, but be-
fore we can have prosperity and DO
much boosting there has got to be
something done Tor the farmer.
This is an agricultural county,
outside of it's timber resources and
unless the farmers are prosperous
and getting square deal we can
not hope to keep up the present
rate of taxes, or to bring other farm
ers into our county to settle up our
cut-over lands, and while | know
that it would not have been the
proper thing for the speakers to
saw too much about the farmers
troubles. at this Booster Meeting.
! am going to here mention some OF
the things which are hurting the
farmers of our county, and so far
as that is concerned, all over the
United States.
l am going to take as basis
the year 1918 and we will have to
assume this was a normal time
prior to the war and that prices
were equal to the farmer, manu-
facturer and laborers of the country
alike and that when the farmer ex-
changed $1.O0 worth of his farm
products flor the manufacturers
goods that he got $1.00 worth and
/ am going to use the table Of
figures which the agricultural de-
partment published in their weekly
bulletin of Sept. 80, 1922, on page
293, wherein they show the basis
that the farmers have had to ex-
change their crops with the manu-
facturers from 1918 down to and
including August of this year. This
table shows that the farmers are
today selling farm products on a
basis Of ga cents for August Of
this year, and had to pay $1.76
for the goods that he has to buy,
orI that fIic hacia ahouq that he
is now giving $3.50 worth Of his
crops for $1.0O worth of the manu-

facturers goods. When you take
the year 1918 as a fair basis, and
/ don't think anybody can object to
this basis, because it was the year
prior to the war and things should
have been normal.
want to ask the farmers of
this county and especially of this
county if they think they can con-
tinue to give $3.50 worth of their
crops for $1.00 worth of manufact-
urers goods, pay taxes, clothe your
children and send them to school
and continue to own your farm
and operate it. I say you cannot
do it, and / don't believe there is
an honest business man in this
country after seeing the situation
as it is that expects you to do it.
/ want to ask the people of our
county how they are going to boost
the farming interest of this county
under these conditions. 1t would
be a nice thing to bring in bunch
of Immigrants and sell them the
stump lands in this county but
before you do this conditions must
be made so that he can stay here
and make a living on his farm.
1t is true that in 1914 and 1915
the farmers were able to buy their

perhaps a little less than what he
got for his farm products but this
was an abnormal condition as the
war was on and the world had
to have something to eat, and be-
cause the farmers made little
money these two years, there are
people who go around the country
saying the farmers have an easy
time on their farms, but you can
not find farmer who who will
tell you that. In fact don't believe
you can find a farmer in this coun-
| ty who can pay his taxes this year,
with money he made on his farm,
and the most of them will have
to get out and hunt job and work
to make money to pay his taxes
! or mortage his home to get it, and
if conditions stay as they are now
he can not stay on his little farm.
OF course we want and need good
roads and there is nothing that will
help the farmer more than good
roads, but if he can not get mar
ket for his products the good roads
will not do him much good. The
farmers might form cooperative
associations to sell their products
and help prices a little that way,
