Farmer Buying Power

Nothing reveals the improved condition and in
creasing buying power of the farmer quite so strik-
ingly figures just issued by large agricul-
tural publication.
For example, to buy certain popular low-priced
automobile, the farmer today pays 626 bushels OF
wheat Two years ago the same streamlined model II
it had been in existence then, would have cost him
LASS bushels, the yield from two and one-third as
much acreage. farm tractor costing him fifty-nlne
2OO-pound hogs today would have cost him 131 such
hogs in 1888
Probably most surprising of ALL however, is the
comparison of prices in the of gasoline-pow-
cred washer For it the farmer pays today III Dus-
els of Two years ago 1t cost him liz pusnels'
more than six times as much.
Undoubtedly there is disposition to take for
granted things and conditions by which we are
constantly surrounded. It is only when they are put
I'D to us in some interesting different new way
that we fully comprehend and appreciate what Is
taking place.

is an enticement that Is hard to
resist no mater what the evils it
may practically endorse. Mime

The Bonus VIII Soon Be Paid
Congressional developments in
dictate that some time within the
next few weeks the soldiers are to
be paid the bonus or at least the
payment win be authorized. If
there is a delay beyond the first
of May it will be because of the
difficulty in getting the machin-
cry of payment into operation or
in figuring out how to provide the
cash. 1t will require something
over $2,0O0,O00,000 to take care of
the payments and even Uncle Sam
will have to do some figuring to
get the money. However, decision
to pay is practically assured as
the bill has passed the house and
a count Of noses indicates it will
pass the senate. The president Is
to veto the bill and will warn the
country of the serious conse-
quences to government financing
that will accompany taking on the

Years ago a small boy guarded
his fathers sheep in the pasture
lands of Idvor, Serbia, and contem-
plated the stars that CLEANED over

one of the worlds leading scien-

wide for his remarkable inven-
tions, most OF which aided the
well-being of man, he continued to
reflect upon the idea that light
and sound are divine methods Of
speech.
Before his death Mr.. Pupin, in
an interview, said THE more I
have thought Of these things as a
scientific man, the more do I re-
alize that my boyhood fancy was

to have it approved as there are

A Fight Against RECOMMENDATION

State Senator J. v. Weber, of Slayton is staging
right against the RECOMMENDATION of professions and
trades In the state There more than a score Cd
bills pending in the Senate one of which has been
passed. which are either for the purpose of tighten
ing restrictions on the practice of occupation
or are to set up new state boards to govern trades
and professions now regulated by the state Some OF
these bills detrimental to other business insofar
as they regulate completely stifle purchases It is
impossible to believe that have reached the stage
where our lawmakers can pass legislation limiting
the amount OF purchases We may make.
Mr.. Weber in story in the st. Paul Dispatch OF
recent date stated:
While favor in principle governmental
regulation of standards for practicing such
professions as dentistry and medicine where
public welfare is vitality concerned there is
- such thing as carrying regulations too far.
Many of the bills now pending were not
even read by their recorded authors before
they were introduced. They were not even
drafted by state organizations, but instead by
national organizations which are sponsoring
similar measures in all legislatures.
If carried to its logical conclusion, this
movement would soon have every trade and
occupation in the United States regimented
and state-dominated to an extent undreamed
of even in Soviet Russia
If the state should license and regulate
paperhangers and photographers and automo-
bile mechanics as is proposed then there is
no logical reason why it should not also Ii
cense and regulate farmers, bookkeepers,
theatre ushers, grocery clerks messenger
boys and clergymen.

boards TO Incense ana regulate everything

"A halt to this RECOMMENDATION process
must be called somewhere, and believe we
have reached the place. Every session, bills
Tightening existing restrictions creating
ones are Offered, and each session one

At present there fifteen state boards gov
erning lawyers, physicians, dentists, osteopaths
nurses, optometrists BARRIERS, veterinarians, phar
macsts hairdressers and beauty cuturists, account
ants architects engineers and surveyors, electric
ians, chropodists and chiropractors
Bills to tighten regulation of all these occupa
tons except physicians, osteopaths veterinarians
accountants and architects engineers and surveyors
have been introduced at this session.
In addition, measures are pending to place under
state supervision dental hygenists, well drillers
poultry inspectors, painters and paperhangers
