READ THE TARIFF LAW.

Mr.. Wheeler seems to think the farmers are
a lot of fools. He tells them thatethe buy
everything in highly protected market ana
sell everything in free trade market NOW
the~farners of the Dakotas and Montana buy
oranges and apples and prunes and nuts and
lemons and lot of other farm products OF
other sections. If it is true that they Duy
everything in highly protected market, then
II must be true that these commodities are
highly protected. Therefore, if these things
are highly protected they must be sold by the
farmers who raise them in highly protected
market. The fruit and nut producers buy
wheat and corn If it is true that they buy
everything in highly protected market, then
il must be true that the farmers who produce
these things sell them in highly protected
market Wool growers and cattlemen are
farmers. They sell cattle and sheep and wool,
and buy grains and fruit and nuts. Ii the
fruit and grain farmers buy meat in a highly
protected market, then it must be true that
the cattle and sheep men sell in highly pro-
tected market. Dairymen sell butter and
cream and milk and cheese and buy fruits and
nuts and grain and wool and meat. 1t the
fruit and nut and wool growers buy dairy
products in highly protected market, then it
must be true that the dairymen sell IN nigh
" protected market.
highly protected market and buys very large
~ though not entirely in a free trade market.
There was no more powerful lobby at Wash
.ington during the consideration of the tariff
bill than the farm bloc representatives. When
the bill had been completed, the representa-
tives of the farm organization Dragged about
the success they had attained in securing the
best bill for the farmers ever framed.
1t is true that some Of the things the farm
er buys are protected but that the protection
is not too high is proven by large importations
coming in regularly despite the tariff But
the things the farmer buys, as distinguished
from what other people buy. are on the free
list This includes all kinds of farm ma
chinery, tools, binding Irvine, barbed wire,
fertilizer, harness and saddles boots and shoes,
insect sprays, lumber, shingles, etc.
1t is obviously false to say that the farmer
buys everything in a highly protected market
and sells everything in a free trade market.
The reverse would be nearer the truth, but
neither is absolutely true. Most of the things
the farmer must buy are on the free list. Most
of the things he sells are highly protected.
You don't have to take anybody's word for
that. Get a copy of the tariff law and read it.

WORTH BEING AN AMERICAN.

Candidates advocating public ownership of
basic lines of industry are seeking high public
Office in state and national affairs.
1t is difficult to understand why in country
such as this we should have intelligent persons
seeking to destroy the freedom, initiative and
ambition of the private American citizen, and
doing it ostensbly in the name of the people,
in the interest of the commonwealth and for
the betterment of living conditions.
We need only to look over the world to real
ize that America, under private development
and initiative with government which en-
courages the individual to his best efforts, has
outstrlpped every other nation where official
control of industry and the people has held
them down almost to condition of servitude
Why should we adopt policies which take
away individual rights and liberty?
Why should we want government ownership,
state ownership or municipal ownership after
we have seen it's operation in other countries
IN our own country during the war in connec-
ton with our railroads and shipping, in Can
ada, in our great cities and in numerous I'M
dertakings where public funds have been
squandered through inefficency of wel-mean-
ing but incompetent public officials?
Private initiative and individual ambition,
not public ownership and governmental re-
striction, have made our country the richest
nation in the world today, with only six per
cent of the worlds population. ~.
This American six per cent consumes one
half of the worlds lumber, and then ten times
as much plumbing as all Europe
We produce half the worlds cotton but con-
sumo more than one-fourth of it.; we six per
cent consume over 40 per cent of the world
coal
In 1928 we produced more than two-thirds
of the worlds steel and used most of it our
selves. We use two-thirds of all the aluminium

CLOSET FOR FOODS.

Anyone who can forage little lum-
Der can have fresh air closet for
foods, and this is an excellent method
for keeping them fresh and at the
same time keeping smells from the
pantry.
All that is needed are few lath,
same nails and little wire gauze,
with shelf or two stuck in. Almost
anyone who can drive nail should
be able to make one.
Place it is a cool spot, within handy
reach and, unless the weather is hot,
this is a better place for food than
any ice chest.
Clean earthen dishes should be used
to hold the food and never in any sort
of metal. Cheescloth bags can easily
be made and into these slip the plate
and food. If ants should find the place
put coat of camphor around the box
every two weeks or so.
About every six months take the
box down and scald it thoroughly with
boiling soda water.

ALL EUROPE WILL BENEFIT.

Determined to find fault with anything that
other nations may do, the Soviet leaders OF
Russia have been denouncing the Dawes plan
for the settlement of the PREPARATIONS dispute
and assert that it means the enslavement of
the people of Germany. Of course it will do
nothing of the kind, for the task that con-
fronts Germany is much lighter today than
before the Dawes plan was agreed to. That
the Dawes plan will result beneficially to Ger
many, as to all Europe, is widely recognized,
for it creates that definite understanding which
was necessary to induce European nations to
return to the activities of peace.
Great Britain is under no delusions as to
the effect of the Dawes plan upon Germany
Great Britain was glad to have the Dawes plan
adopted because it means the restoration OF
industry in Europe and the ultimate settle
ment of the war obligations. But the revival
of industry in Germany means keener competi-
ton for British Industries, and the British ma
ton is not overlooking this. The London Times
recently remarked upon this situation and
said: 4~
ct is not difficult to see how the present
position has come about. So long as Germany
as an economic unit, was in a state of disorgan-
ization, her power to compete in the markets
of the world was restricted, but now that there
is prospect of sterilization, it is recognized
as Sir Robert Horne has pointed out, that
there is a real danger Of recurrence in more
intensified form Of the fierce competition for
foreign markets that characterized the era
Immediately preceding the outbreak of the
war; s@ss
It will be difficult for the Bolshevists to get
Germans excited over situation which
promises so much for German industry and
commerce and which creates some apprehen-
sion among Gernany's rivals. 4s--1
In the end all Europe will profit by the
adoption Of the Dawes plan, Germany among
the first.

them would be violation of con-

sonal attack from a powerful section

We put an administration into
power in Washington, D. c., for four
years. Canada puts a party into power
until, deadlocked and unable to win
a vote of confidence, it automatically
has to call new election. Thus, a
party might be in power in Canada
for years or for only a few months.
But since Canada confederated its
provinces in 1867, it has had only 16
changes of national administrations
roughly one for every four years,
like us. But it has what might help
us-longer good administrations and
shorter punk ones.
