F~0 Calvin Coolidge,
President of United States,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Mr.. President:
! note there is to be a conference
called at Washington next week to
try and find some plan to relieve the
financial situation here in the north
west.
I feel that l would like to let you
know, and that it is my duty to let
You know, what happened to me, a
wheat farmer, during the war years
Of 1917 and 1918, which was sim
liar 20 the jolt that thousands of
Uther wheat farmers got at that time.
The spring of 1917 l bought seed
wheat at S2.75 per bushel, hauled it
rIne miles and cleaned it, and seeded
800 acres. 1 had strong hopes of get
ting a good and fair price for my
cV0p compared to the advance in all
CEREALS and everything on account of

advancing with everything else, I'M
III I believe it reached $3.4O a bushel
in Chicago.
Sometime in July, 1917, the gov
eminent, through President Wilson,
singled out wheat and fixed the price
az $2.26 Chicago and S2.17 Minneap-
0Ai5s ldhlHS lIOAl bHC HACdb la hICI
of the Northwest (the central and
southern states already having had
the chance to sell 1917 crop at about
$3.50 per bushel) upwards of $1.09
per bushel at one stroke of the pen,
having corn selling at 1925 to $2.2S
a bushel at Minneapolis, along with
wheat at $2.17.
Besides having one-third of the
price stolen from me, we had it rath-
e. Dry and l harvested 1000 bushels
and sold it for 26c freight rate less
than SPIT, or $1.93 Minneapolis hay-
100000 that rightfully belonged Il

IN 1918 the season was more fav.
uyable and | harvested 10000 bushel:
from 500 acres and was relieved Of

my rightful income from that crop

ing a total loss Of S27,34O in two
years operation by aid of the govern
ment of the United States.
Similar treatment to thousands and
thousands of farmers of the north
west has caused them to be unable
to pay their loans from banks, and
caused those that were out of debt in
1917 and 1918 to go into debt to make
up the loss they sustained by the
governments unfairness. So after
running thousands of farmers finan-
ciaily the banks can not realize on
their loans as quickly as they wish,
and the Federal Reserve having
drawn practically all the aid that
they were supposed to give and fore
ing the money from the bank (piling
up hundreds of millions of dollars
where it is of no use to anyOne) has
caused banks to close by the hun
dreds, and created havoc in the whole
northwestern country.
When the government price-fixing
ceased, wheat rose to $2.75 and $3.50
in Minneapolis, proving that the le-
ultimate price of wheat was destroyed
during war-times fully $1.O0 a bushel
as l indicated. Millions of bushels of
wheat were bought by the govern
ment through the United States Grain
Corporation at the unfair price of
$2.17 Minneapolis and sold to foreign
countries at q great profit, placing
many millions of dollars in the United
States treasury to benefit all the peo-
pie of the United States by robbing
the hard-toiling wheat farmer of his
just rewards.
There was upward of $4,000, 900
bushels of wheat harvested in Mon
tana alone in 1917 and 1918, or $780,
0G0, 900 taken from Montana, enough
money to restore the s~olvency every
collapsed bank in the state, and l
firmly believe if this money had not
been taken from Montana farmers
there would be very little trouble
financially in Montana today.
Moreover, during war-times we
we're told by the government not to
eat whole wheat bread, and it was
a crime to do so, but must mix it
with corn (Which cost US here in
Montana one-half more than the price
set on wheat) or other cereals, and
at the anne time urged to be pa
triotic and produce more wheat. These
two factors could result in nothing
else than a surplus Of wheat, which
we wheat farmers are now up against
and suffering from.
You will note, Mr.. President, that
the great financial distress is more
acute in the wheat-growing states OF
the northwest than anywhere else.

We believe many crops can be

that would prove more profitable
than flax. Under the circumstances,
we would advise you to concentrate
your attention and effort on the pro.
duction of these. Under conditions
OF proper management, we can still
produce cotton in Georgia with both
profit and advantage. New methods
OF procedure must be instituted and
policies Of supervision worked out.
We know of plenty OF farmers this
year who raised one-half bale and
upward of cotton per acre at a good
profit. They accomplished this by
the intelligent use of calcium ar,
senate and fighting the weevil with
every agency at their command.
These results were accomplished In

Have you selected your garden
seed? Plant your old favorstes and
at least one new sort.
[ wish that l could get more car
rots planted. There are so many nice
ways to use them, and no matter
how the weather gets they can stay
in the ground all winter. How many
of you have cooked them with bacon
as you do turnips? Scrape them, slice
them and boil with the meat.
When you are preparing a place
for early mustard and turnips mix
some rape with the seeds, half rape.
and as you thin out the salad you
can leave the rape far enough apart
to afterward pull off the leaves like
collards, and feed to the chickens. If
there are many stalks of rape you
will have nothing better for calves
and young pigs. There has never
been weather up here cold enough to
kill the roots of the rape planted In
the fall. How about your turkeys?
The young ones need plenty of onion
tops, so see that the sets are out
early, and you can't plant anything
more delicious for salad, nor for
chickens than Swiss Chard.

thing that eats them. Let's make
this a feed and forage year. Then

until, at last, there comes day
when we suddenly realize that we
have hardly friend left. We have
only acquaintances.
We lose our friends for many rea-
sons. Chiefly, perhaps, through ego
tism. We get so absorbed Ia our
selves and our own affairs that we
have no leisure or thought to give
to other people, even in those who
were once near and dear to US.
A man is obsessed by his business,
by his struggle to get money. A
woman's world is bounded by the
four walls of her home, and those
within it. They are too self-centered
really to consider any one else, and
so the visit that would have kept
alive a friendship is never paid; the
note of congratulation at friends
success, or of sympathy over some
misfortune that has befallen him is
never written. 1t is pitiful to think
how much friendship Is lost for
the lack of ten minutes time, and
a postage stamp.
We lose our friends because many
of us look upon friendship as graft,
instead of as a. special miracle of
grace that has been bestowed upon
us. Because a man has granted US
the privilege of his friendship, we
feel free to exploit him.
We feel that he should lend us
money that we are under no obliga-
ton to pay back. We consider that
he should get US good jobs that we
are too lazy to find for ourselves,
We do not hesitate to ask the use
of his automobile, and to make a
free hotel of his house. We abuse
his friendship for us, until to save
himself he lets US go. That is why
some cynic has said that If the Lord
would deliver him from his friends
he would protect himself from his
enemies,
We lose our friends by making
friendship a grinding tyranny. Won
en- are especially given to this, for
there are very few women in the
world who do not honestly believe
that If they love you, it gives them
carte blanche to boss you.
Therefore, your woman fflen0 SUI
pervises your visiting list, and de.
mands that all Of your friends shall
be her friends also, and that you
must only like the people that she
likes. Also that you must call in
her doctor and go to her dentist and
patronize her dressmaller and milli-
ner and raise your children accord
ing to her schedule, and treat your
husband the way she treats hers.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

b. and by you get tired of being
told where to get on and where to
get off and nagged into doing things
that you don't want to do, and
weary Of having to apologize and
explain to one who has no author
ity over you, and so, as painlessly as
possible, you perform the surgical
operation that bound you to one
who was once your Siamese twin.
Friendship is often bored to death.
1t Is said. but true, that the older
we get, the more we like to talk
about ourselves. Strangers won t
stand for this, but our friends can.
not escape us.
Because they love us and are in
terested in us gives us, we think, an
excuse to monologue to them by the
hour about our own affairs. If we
are successful, we boast shamelessly
of our triumphs. If we are failures,
we tell over and over again the sad,
sad story of our lives. If we have
children, we discant endlessly about
the smart things the baby said, and
Johnny's bootball record, and Mary's
beaux.
Now, true friendship is full OF sym.
pathy, it Is patient and long suffer
ing. But human endurance has it's
limitations, and there comes a. time
when, for sheer self-preservation, we
have to drop the friend who has de-
generated into nothing but a ten
inch auger. We still love Thomas,
and Sally, and Matilda, but their
friendship isn't worth having at the
price of perpetual boredom.
We lose our friends through the
inevitable change and development
that life makes in us. We grow
apart because we have different in
terests, and our tastes and ideas and
habits are formed by different
environment. Nothing Is a sadder
experience than to meet again, after
a long lapse OF years, an old friend
of whom you have been very fond,
and to whom you find you have
nothing to say after you have
thrashed over the little sheaf of old
memories.
1t is the common belief that the
most enduring friendships are those
formed in early youth, but this is
not true. The friends to whom our
hearts cleave, as David's did to JON
athan's, are the friendships Of our
mature years, those we make with
the men and women whose hearts
and minds answer ours when our
characters are formed, and We know
what we demand in human compan-
ionship.
Friendship Is the most beautiful
and the most comforting thing in
life, but for it we have to pay a
prices, for love the gift is always
love the debt.
