three times as much in salary as
before the war, hauled over a
roadbed, overcapitalized. whose
upkeep costs twice as much over
again. When the broker in the
city receives them the same
thing happens, his expenses have
trebled and they must be met,
and with the retailer the story
is repeated once more. Not that
these people are robbing the
farmer. they are only making ex-
penses and a fair return on their
investment and work. The cost
of food would not be increased
very much to the consumer if
the farmer also got fair return
for his work, and | think no one
would envy him if he got it; but
the trouble has been overproduc-
ton and a scramble to sell in ord
err to get a little out of the crop.
If the farmer was able to hold
his crop until a fair price could
be realized, say for instance so
cents a bushel for potatoes, the
consumers price would be but
very little higher and everyone
would be benefited because of the
farmers ability to buy more of
the material produced by indus
try. Yes, the cost of living has
advanced a great deal. Rent,
taxes of all kinds, food, wearing
apparel, car fares and everything
have more than doubled since
1914. If the city dweller has a
steady job he may be able to
save a little; but if that is not
the case there will be no savings,
especially if it is a man with
family to support. The large city
banks report great increases in
savings in the cities, and it is a
fact. But they do not state the
source of the increase. | wonder
if very much of this saving be-
longs to the workingman? Or is
it the high salaried officials and
the brokers and all those others
that are able to pass the burden
on to the shoulder of the farmer
and his half brother in the cities.

for the ones that lost out; but
really, they have no one to blame
but themselves"
| believe that we may say that
the majority of the farmers be-
long in his class, but they are
quiet people and do not say
much, so we hear less of them.
Of course, their plight has not
been SO very pleasant either,
during these troublesome years.
We find then that conditions
on the farm are bad, but far from
being so demoralized as pictured
in the daily press where the col
oring matter is all drawn from
the one and darker side. We al
so find that the bad conditions
were caused mostly by our own
mismanagement of our affairs
and by the state of mind that
during the period of initiation
gave us that feeling of great
wealth, which later proved to be
only imaginary.
How have our brethren in the
cities Jared during these same
years? My information on this
subject is very limited, all | know
about it, | have gathered from
the news items in the daily pap
ers, from letters received from
friends living in the cities and
from statistical reports. Accord
ing to information from all these
sources wages have been high,
especially for the skilled laborer,
some of whom are now receiving
as much for an hours work as we
common laborers 20 years ago
earned in 10 hours. The common
laborer has also been well paid;
but in spite of those high wages
very few seem to have been able
to save anything to lay by for
a rainy day. The reason given is
the high cost of living. it may al
so be the cost of high living, |
cannot say. They say that every
thing has advanced in cost more
than treble, from calico to taxes
and rents. Even food cost three
times as much as before the war,
although the farmer producing
it has received less for it. But if
you analyze the situation you will
realize that food does become
dear before it reaches the ulti-
mate consumer. For instance a
bushel OF potatoes for which the
farmer receives the magnificent
sum of 25 cents; let us follow it
on its way to the market. First
it comes in to the local warehouse
where it is packed in bags that
cost three times as much as 10
years ago by men that receive
twice the wages in a warehouse
built of high priced material
which must yield a profit to its
owner besides paying the trebled
taxes and insurance; then the
potatoes are loaded on a railroad
car and hauled to the market by
a railroad that paws its hands

toms mastery well built financial
system, on the ground that the Con-
stitution did not sanction the estab-
lishment of a corporation that was
to be favored with a monopoly of the
Governments business. as they might
assail his decision to follow path

stood like his Memorial, impervious
to the mutations Of the changing sea-
sons in the unfolding years. Char
acter is destiny from whose estab-
lished laws a man may not depart.
AS one reads widely in the life of
Washington, this force of character
seems to grow until it presides over
the events of his career, until it DOM
mates every scene in which he moves.
Not expediency but principle was his
guiding star. His service to his
country held in it the essence of pure
loyalty and sheer honor, than which
what nobler motive could animate
any servant of the people?
"A double instance OF MS unSelnsh
devotion to the cause he served is

chief of the forces of the colonists.

In wind and in storm it will stand
in its serene strength as Washington
stood unmoved from his purpose un-
der the assaults Of an unsympathetic
Government, as he battled against
the British forces and under the
whirlwinds of intrigue that attempt
ed in secret shame to remove him
from command and put Gen. Gates at
the; head of the Army. Gloom and
gray vapory mists cannot dismay its
white splendor any more than the
cowardiy disloyalty of generals could
dim the radiance of the allegiance of
Washington to his country.
In the genial sunshine, under
cloudless blue skies. this memorial
will stand In, a flawless serenity,
keeping the even tenor of it's way
even as did Washington when high
honors smiled upon him and when
words of acclamation were his por-

power that they drank from their

straight as an Indian. He possessed

eyes were steel blue, at times turn
