WASHINGTON. ID. c., Feb. s.
Why is it that farming. the greatest
business in the United States and the
most important one in the world,
does not pay in this country and is
never stable?
That is the question which is
theoretically before the national
farm conference, bur there is no evil
dence whatever that the conference
will shed any more light on the sub
ject than the unemployment or than
the disarmament conference did on
the problem of world peace, or than
any other political conference ever
sheds on anything.
1t is an illuminating experience to
read the political pronouncements on
the subject to the farmer and farm
ing. and then study the views of any
competent student of the agrarian
problem and compare them. 1t gives
the innocent and unprejudiced in
vestigator the impression that poli-
tics is largely the art of dodging the
facts.
1t is true that there are more poll
tical and legislative remedies before
the public for solving the farm prob
lem than there are patent medicines
for curing corns. The politicians
propose a tariff on farm products,
they propose TO encourage cooper
ative mtrketing, and they have a
dozen other projects for ameliorat-
ing the farmers lot. Most of them
have been tried before and none Of
them have made any large or perma-
nent difference. Congress has been
turning out large quantities OF legisr
lation for farmers at every session
f1. 4 rynt
of the farmer has got steadily worse
ever sice about 1890.
1t is not meant to imply that none
of the legislation passed and pro-
posed is of any value, but simply to
point out the obvious fact that none
of it has worked any permanent
change in the general condition of
the farmer The only thing which
can be said is that ever since the
body of free public land in the United
States was exhausted. which hap
pened about or soon after 1890. farm
ing has been falling into more and
morse precarious condition.
The Price Of Land
1t is not unreasonable then to as
sumo some connection between the
disappearance of free land and the
present unstable and Improbable
condition of farming as a business.
Ever since the free land was ex-
hausted, the price OF land has risen
steadily in this country and to aston
ishing heights. This high price of
land. we are assured by all students
of the problem, is the fundamental
reason why farming does not pay.
and they assure us it cannot pay
until those land values are somehow
brought down and stabilized. It
must be made possible for the man
who wants to farm to invest his
money in land and make a good re-
turn on the investment. And it must
be made more profitable for the man

INVEST AN HOUR FOR

Life from one standpoint is merely
the investment of influence. What
institutions do you as an individual
wish supported? 1t you believe news

them. If you care to have theatres
in Liberal you patronize them. And
it's the same way with churches
None of these can continue without
support. The churches Of Liberal
need you. Ever think of that? What
would the churches and their influ-
ence amount to if everyone played
golf Sunday mornings and rode all
evening Liberal is better place

answered 26 calls; in 1918, it an
swered 10 calls; in 1919, it answered
10 calls; in 1920 it answered 26 calls,
and in 1921, it answered 20 calls.
Mr. Kindschi served as Chief un-
til November 10th, when his resig-
nation was accepted by reason of his
moving to the country, and G. L..
Light was appointed in his place,
and still holds that position. All of
the members except the truck driver,
Chas. Woods, are volunteer firemen,
receiving no compensation for their
work except when actually answer
ing calls, and this, according to rec
ords and information we are able to
gather, is a very small part of the
firemen's work.
The motto of the Fire Department
has been and now is, FIGHT THE
FIRE BEFORE 1T STARTS, and all
of the members are always on the
alert watching for fire hazards or
dangerous spots and to see that they
are removed before any conflagra-
ton starts.
OF the present organization, four
of the men are charter members of
the Company, they being s. T. Hub
bard, Asst. Chief, L. L. Holland,
Ralph Bangs and Thurman Printz.
The following is a statement of the
calls, showing the name and atten-
dance of each Of the firemen for the
years 1920 and 1921; there being
