South St. Paul, Mimi, August IS.

Economics and Minnesota Dept. Of

downward for the first three days.
Lighter receipts later allowed prices
to regain a good share of the loss,

bacon hogs cashed to packers at the
top price of $3.50 today with packing
sows sorted off at $500 to 1926 and
feeder pigs at $500.
While the prospect for soft corn
in many sections of the country
seems to indicate a large demand for
feeder cattle to efficiently market
the corn crop, feeders seem to be
waiting until later than usual before
purchasing their cattle. A fairly
broad demand Monday boosted prices

FARMERS FIND MANY
ITEMS ON FREE list
FARMERS DON'T WANT FREE
TRADE TAT MEANS LESS
MONEY FOR PRODUCE

Washington, Aug. l9.-"The fact
that agricultural implements were
free-listed by the Republican tariff
law for the benefit OF the farmer
has been so highly emphasized that
we are apt to overlook the further
fact that a great many other articles
used by the farmer are also on the
free list" declares the Republican
Publicity association, through its
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
To suggest that everything the
farmer buys be placed on the free
list, as vas done by a number Of
congressman during the last session
of congress, would be to advocate
almost entire free trade, because the
farmer Of today satisfies wants by
purchasing almost everything bought
by any other class of consumers.
There RI certain articles, however,
in addition to those peculiarly de-
signed for farm consumption, which
the farmer pretty generally uses,
and the following list, though net
an exhaustive one, considerably am
plifies certain free-listed items which
have been stressed:
Beginning with agricultural i'm
plementS, aforementioned, we have
on the free list plows, tooth or disk
harrows, headers, harvesters, reap
ers, mowers, drills and planters,
horse-rakes, cultivatdFs, threshing
machines, cotton gins, and sugar ma
chinery, wagons and carts, cream
%separatOrs up to $50 in value, land
all other agricultural implements of
any kind or description, not spec
tally provided for, whether in whole
or in parts, including repair parts"
The mot specially wanted list" is
meager.
If the farmer desires to add to mis-
buildings, silOs walks, ETC., he will
find coal and fuel on the free list,
and lumber are on the free list, un-
less some other country should take
a notion to place a duty on such ma
terials when coming from the United
States, in which case a correspond
ing duty is placed on identical goods
coming here from that particular
country only. That does not seem to
be unfair.
To warm his house the farmer will
find coal and fuel on the free list,
under the same conditions as brick
and cement, etc, while petroleum is
free-listed unconditiOnally-the elixir
OF his Tin Lizzie. To warm his in
ner mar he will find coffee, tea, and
cocoa on the free list. To warn his
soul Bibles are free-listed. And if
after all this, he suffers from cold
feet, boots and shoes are to be
purchased in a free market.
With respect to the farmers live
stock, there will be found on the free
list animals for breeding purposes
a~ntitoxins, and vaccines, sheep dip
J sulphur, tar and turpentine. On hi:

horses he may place free harness,
saddles and s~addlery, and horse pads.
His cattle may be fenced in with free
listed barbed wire, and if he should
be a bit exclusive, or want to set off
his house and grounds. posts, pick
cts, and palings have been gathered
into the free list.
To eradicate insect pests sulphide
of arsenic, and white arsenic. used
in making sprays, are free listed.
He may sheaf his grain with free
binding Irvine, protect his hands with
free leather gloves, and sharpen his
tools on free homes and wheatstones.
And that his CROPS may flourish and
he may grow two blades where for
merly but one could be- produced,
bones, bone dust, fish, guano. basic
Stag, kelp, kisserite, phosphates, apa-
tite, gypsum, muriate of potash, po-
tassium sulphate, kainite, wood and
beet-rOot ashes, nitrates, tobacco
stems, and manures, all used for fer
tilizers, are on the free list.
There are many articles Of gen
eral American use not on the free
list, the duties of which have been
reduced-automObiles for example
All of the farmers products have
been given the highest protection ev-
er accorded them in any tariff law.
Thus a%ccoutered, the'farmer may call
for his fiddle, treat the bow to a lit
tie free rosin, smile complacently at
rising grain prices and strike up

HEALTH VIOLATION.
 SCORED BY JURORS
Grand Jury Charged To Make
 Investigations

MONTGOMERY. Ala, July 14.-- Especial. )-In the organization of the Montgomery county grand jury for the regular term today, Judge Walter B. Jones of the circuit court called for a strict investigation of violations of the health laws, particularly the laws re- lating to the reporting of births and deaths, and the indictment of persons against whom reasonable evidence is submitted.
 Judge Jones said health laws have come to be recognized as among the most important laws on the books, and that all citizens should join in the move ment to bring about their enforcement.
 A portion of the charge was devoted to a condemnation of the centralizatiOn of power at Washington and the enact ment of large numbers of laws by legis- lative bodies. Judge Jones said some times he believes the laws should be limited to the ten commandments and the Constitution of the United tates.

 Tt looked" said the purveyor, Gas though there'd be enough hot dogs left over to gorge every seagull between here and the Hebrides.'
 Then the convention began to hang and rattle for those long, hot days and the dogs began to move. The delegates sacrificed their principles to their hun ger. After all, there's a power of nu- triment in hot dog.
