must find markets abroad and there
fore sea borne commerce and the means
Of It's transportation become matters
Of deep concern to the farmer. For
eign ships under an alien flag give the
farmer low grade service and high
transportation costs. The American
farmer will no longer be--as he has
been-at the mercy of the foreign ship
owner in marketing his surplus products
abroad when we have an American mer-
chant marine. The bill to aid the
American merchant marine is designed
to establish an adequate American
trade feet and there is every reason
to believe that II will help materially
In SO doing.
II Is significant that those who have
been claiming that the American farm
er does not care whether his goods are
carried in foreign or American vessels
are not American farmers. In some
cases they are persons or organizations
working in the interests of our alien
rivals on the seas.
The farmer already fully realizes the
value of cheap handling of his products
to the extent of seeking regulation of,
or influence on, three important trans
portation links: (a) elevators; (b)
railroad rates; (c) extension of inland
waterways. He Is fast awakening to
the tremendous Importance Of the last
transportation link between his farm
and his foreign market-the cargo ship
that carries his goods abroad.
Americas commercial history proves
the value of the American owned ship
to American producers. Before the
decline in our merchant marine began
In the late SOS, our agricultural ex-
ports made up more than rs per cent.
y of all our goods sold abroad. BY 1918,
they had sunk to 46B per cent. and
when the U-boats were most active,
farm exports fell to less than SO per
cent. OF the total, although Europe's
greatest demand at that time was for
food.

TO PUT IN NEW
HELP.YoURSELF GROCERY
Mahoney & Soma to Install New Gro
Gerry in Stamper Building.

Another indication that Liberal is
taking on a few more city ways is the
fact that we are soon to have what
/ is known as "Help Yourself" gro
Gerry. Mahoney and Sons have rent
ed The room in the Stamper block, for
merly occupied by the SYaflower
Cafe, and are getting fixtures in and
re-decorating the interior of the
building.
All of the fixtures will be snow
white and the whole stock will be
new and fresh. Everything will be
tied up in packages and plainly mark
ed so that you can go in and pick out
what you want and know what you
are paying for the article before you
take it. Mr.. Mahoney says that they
hope to have the new store in opera
ton by Saturday, December 18th.
The new plan will be to sell on a
strictly cash basis, and deliveries will
be made. By cutting down the oper-
ating expenses in this way, they hope
to be able to sell on decidedly closer
margin and believe that the people of
Liberal and vicinity will appreciate
their efforts to fight the high cost of
living.
Watch for their opening announce
ment in this paper next week.

their extortionate war freight rates to
reasonable figures. Z
1t is believed that the shipping legis-
lation pending In Congress will keep
an ample supply Of ships Of all types
in foreign trade. That would tend to
keep ocean freight rates at q moderate
level. The Federal Reserps BuIIe in
Of April, 1921, shows that carrying
charges of exports averaged 7.8 per
cent. Of the total values in the years
1901, 1906, 1909 and 1912. In other
words, out Of every 100 bushels Of
wheat the farmer sent abroad he had
to give eight bushels of II to the for
eign shipowner who carried It, and
from every 600-pound bale of cotton,
about fifty pounds as toll. This was
good for the foreigner but bad for
America. But in 1918 the percentage
of freight to value rose to 8l.2 per
cent, so in that year the foreign ships
ate up nearly one-third of the farmers
products to carry them to market. The
shipper was at the foreign carriers
mercy, for there were practically no
American ships to cause competition.
Foreign ships by vexatious delays
and intentional oversights impede
American commerce while they boost
their own. Farmers know from expe-
rience what an unfriendly commission
man can do to their product. Tramp
steamers are the commission men and
drummers of international trade.
Farmers want their own drummers of
the sea who will boost, not knock.
Farmers favor reduction of arma-
ments within the limits of safety pre-
scribed by the Washington Conference.
This cannot be done unless we have an
American merchant navy in peace time
to supply our needs In war time.
Farmers would build fewer battleships
and more barges, fewer commerce des-
troyers and more commerce carriers.
Wagons and freight cars and freight
ships are the farmers transportation
system and he wants them all owned
