TOR ten years the government has
A been trying to break up the Inter-
national Harvester company, apparent
ly with only partial success. Now At
Itorney General Daugherty has asked
the federal district court In st. Paul
for a decree dissolving the company
into at least three separate and indie
pendent corporations, asserting that 1t
Is still a combination In restraint OF
trade and commerce in harvesting ma
chinery and "still is monopolizing and
attempting to monopolize said trade
and commerce in violation Of the
Sherman antitrust law and contrary
to the several opinions, orders, and de-
crees Of this court"
The three separate companies pro-
posed would include two implement
companies of substantially equal size,
one Of which would feature the McCor-
mick harvester machines while the
other would handle. the Deering line.
The third company would take over
the steel and coal subsidiaries of the
Harvester company. The two imple-
ment companies, while larger than any
other company in the industry, would
be able to compete with each other.
and other companies could compete or
terms Of equality with them.

vapory streaks along the horizon.
lighted up with golden splendor
that the eye can scarcely endure.
b. Another minute and the bril-
liant orb totally disappears. and the
sky above grows every moment more
varied and more beautiful as the daz-
zling golden lines are mixed with
glowing red and gorgeous purple, dap
pied with small dark specks and
mingled with such blue as the egg
of the hedgesparrow. To look up at
that glorious sky, and then to see
that magnificent picture reflected in
the clear and lovely Loddon water is
pleasure never to be described and
never forgotten. My heart swells and
my eyes fill as l write of 1t and think
Of the unreasonable majesty Of nature
and the unspeakable goodness Of God
who has spread an enjoyment so pure,
SO peaceful and SO intense before the
meanest and the lowest of His crea-

HE WHO PROVIDES 1T ALL
William a. Sumner Gave Credit to the
"Forootten Man" for His Pa
tient Industry.

Wealth comes only from production,
and all that the wrangling grabbers.
loafers and robbers get to deal with
comes from somebody's toll and sac
rifce. Who. then, is he who provides
1t ALL Go and find him, and you will
have once more before you the For
gotten Man. You will find him hard
at work because he has a great many
to support. Nature has done q great
deal for him in giving him a fertile
soil and an excellent climate, and he
wonders why It is that, after all, his
scale Of comfort is SO moderate. He
has to get out of the soil enough to
pay all his taxes, and that means the
cost of all the jobs and the fund for
all the plunder. The Forgotten Man
is delving away in patient industry
supporting his family, paying his
taxes, casting his vote, supporting the
church and school, reading his news
paper and cheering for the politicians
of his admiration. but he Is the only
one for whom there is no provision in
the great scramble and the hig divide.
Such is the Forgotten Man. He works,
he votes generally he prays-but he
always pays-yes. above all. he pays.

WOULD COOPERATION REMEDY
THIS SITUATION, is QUESTION

A Virginia farmer, in a recent com
munication to the New York Herald,
offers the following statements Of facts
in connection with the ever present
problem of farm finance:
", own and run farm in Virginia.
Just how the farmer today is pros
pering as against the city laborer the
following facts show:
'Tt takes 63h dozen, or 762 eggs to
pay a plasterer for one day of eight
hours work.
'It takes 171A bushels OF corn, or a
years receipts from half an acre, to
pay bricklayer one day.
'Tt takes twenty-three chickens,
weighing three pounds each. to pay a
painter for one days work in New
York.
ut takes fortytwo pounds of but
ter, or the output from fourteen cows,
fed and milked for twenty-tour hours.
to pay a plumber $14 a day 1t takes
a hog, weighing 175 pounds, represent
ing eight months feeding and care. to
pay a carpenter for one days work.
who sees the way, but?
"The city workman's wages must de-
cline or we farmers will stop farming
entirely, exactly what most of us are
doing.
'1 have planted my last crop and
this year nearly 1000 acres goes down
in grass, on which ! will raise moth
ing.
'T can see only one way now. teach
New York hens to lay bricks instead
OF eggs"
The question is raised as to whether
or not cooperation would materially
assist in remedying this deplorable
condition. Many think 1t is the only
solution; others are not so sure.
Nevertheless it is plain that there can
be no real prosperity among the ag-
riculturalists of the nation until an
economic condition that demands IT'S
pounds of pork to pay a carpenter for
one days labor. is changed to some
more equitable system.
