Wheat Farmer ReSenlS
Snug City Mans Advice

EDITOR The Star:-The only time write you is
u when want TO kick about something.
This time it's about another solemn ass who gives
me distinct ache in my understanding; he's the large
florid comfortable official adviser who comforts the
busted wheat farmer with the kind advice Go and
raise something else"
At that the farmer in the wheat business is taking
the advice of the stuffed shirt he is raising something
else and he's going TO raise more and more of it;
HE'LL! That's one fine crop believe me.
II was not long ago that these same officious fat
boys were prancing the countryside over begging
handing praying pleading and Grating Raise wheat,
save the nation, feed the boys" WELL WE DID,
with half our boys in the trenches with no hired men
to be had with the help of the women and the children
and the senile raised wheat and when the war
wheat produced at war prices for labor and seed and
fertilizer and implements.
But mind you. and this is the point ms a patriotic
duty we wheat growers geared for the production
OF wheat; our equipment, mostly bought on time was
wheat equipment land rotation our buildings our
machinery our daily routine all organized to pro-
duce wheat just as the railroad is there to provide
transportation and the newspaper plant to provide
daily paper. Just exactly how is the wheat farmer TO
get into another branch another business of farming?
Who buys his wheat equipment, who UNDERWRITERS his
new organization what IS he supposed to produce that
he can sell at profit? Over period of five years has
the lot of the grower, the hog raiser the sheep
herder or the cattle raiser been so profitable that
hundred thousand wheat growers can be added TO this
or that band of producers?
The fact is that there is not too much wheat raised
in this country, nor has there ever been; there not
TOO much bread nor too much mill feed, too much
mix, nor too many pork chops, too much butter
nor too many fresh eggs but there more of all these
commodities than can be sold and return profit to the
producer so LONG AS THE PRODUCER only gets 27
CENTS ON THE DOLLAR OF THE SELLING PRICE.
Respectfully, VIM. DENT.

c. II. Fitzgerald, President Of the

the task OF city government has in

The federal government creates a
new source OF revenue and dubs this
economy. There is no new source
OF revenue open 10 city govern
ments. They are dependent upon
taxes for revenue.
Msleolmn Douglas, Prosecuting
Attorney-Local government Is 80
per cent OF all government, and
these functions are growing. while
the national government. since the
war. has been deccntraliziug and
curtalling It's field OF service. As the
various war boards and bureaus are
eliminated. the national government
should reduce It's taxes. These func-
tions. in many instances. are taken
up By local governments. I think
that while the national government
has made a good showing In econ
omy. local governments have done
equally as well.
Austin r.. GrifiithS, Judge Of the

President Coolidge requires great
deal Of study before an intelligent
answer can be given or It's truth de-
ternlned. Perhaps local govern
nlsnts arc spending lots Of money.
but perhaps they are giving dollar

Novel AutO-RadiO
Combination of
Interest to Fans

An exceptionally attractive automo-
bile has been prominent on Augusta
streets for the past two days, the car
without doubt is the only one in ex-
istence so arranged. A stock Overland
Champion was used which was rein
ishcd in old ivory color The inside Of
the auto was then ref1tted for the DEM
onstration and display of Atwater Kent
radio apparatus. The interior Of the
car has been attractively decorated
and ingeniously illuminated, and the
devices on display; with the shining
brass and rich mahogany mounting
boards, make distinct appeal to all
passersby.
The entire workmanship of refitting
the car was performed by Augusta
craftsmen and the finished work re-
fleets credit on their skill. The paint
ing and lettering was performed by
Pardee's painting station.
In commenting on the Atwater Kent
line of radio goods. George Weber of
Webber's Auto Electric Service, stated:
