FARMERS as a group are fire.
L quently assumed to be able to
make each dollar go farthest and
buy most. This reputation may
perhaps not be deserved. They
have had of necessity, however,
much practice in stretching dol
lars. Their families are larger
and their cash incomes invariably
average smaller than those of the
average family of the United
States. Now is the time for all
farmers who really want to con-
tinue to be good dollar stretchers
to give careful thought to how
they handle their affairs.
The farmer must get his dollar
before he stretches it, 1t takes
long, hard hours of work on the
part of the farmer and his family
to produce crops now for hired
labor is scarce and often impossi-
BILE to get. However, prices of
products farmers sell in this coun-
try are about twice as high as
they were in 1910 and prices farm
ers pay for fertilizer, machinery,
and other production factors aver
age only about fifty per cent high
er than in that year.
Thus, farmers tend to have a
greater margin over production
costs than usual and on the aver
age should have more dollars to
stretch. Some factors in the pres
ent situation hinder dollars stretch
ing and some help. Living costs,
even for the most necessary arti-
cles and services, have mounted
and taxes have climbed sharply.
On the other hand, the farmer is
forced to spend less for automobile
driving and other travel; he is
forced to produce and store GER
tain foods that he customarily
buys; and he is duty bound to
economic in other ways for the
war effort. This situation means
he has some dollars at least to
stretch. Stretching requires that
he pay some attention to the value
of the dollar. He can stretch his
dollar by paying debts. His dol
lar purchases less of many things
now than in 1910, but it purchases
just as much release from debt
as ever. Thus, it is a good time to
pay off debts-especially the long

There is no way to tell what, if

the war with all vigor. Conse-

FactOry-Damaged Shoes

Mr.. Consumer may be lucky
enough to get a pair of factory
damaged shoes without shoe ra-
ton coupon and for no more than
$1.SO q pair, if his shoe dealers
happens to have some such shoes
on hand and obtains permission
from the OPA district office to sell
them unrationed. The dealer
must apply for the release of these
factory-damaged shoes before Aug
ust 81, but there is no time limit
on the sales after the dealer has
received the OPA no-rationed stick
ers and attached them to the shoes.

Free Enterprise

esDRINTERS' INK, a weekly
Il magazine devoted to adver-
Using, management and sales,
started something way back in
March when they published a let
ter from Leonard Dreyfuss, presi-
dent of United Advertising Cor
poration, in which he proposed
that "some sound, clear thinkers
get together and agree upon a def
milton of free enterprise that
John @. Public can absorb"
Letters in answer to Mr.. Drey-
fuss still continue to pour in. They
come from soldiers and employees
as well as from top executives All
seem to qualify as "clear thinkers
and all have shown unusual zeal
and interest in describing free
enterprise. It has been defined IN
many different ways but there is
general agreement on one lmpor-
tant point: free enterprise Is a
symbol for liberty, democracy ana
;ndependence and it was for TINS
that America was founded and 1t
is for this that we have tougnt
and are, fighting today.
This is an encouraging sign Oh
the times. Here are Americans
speaking out for themselves
Americans from all classes. kacn
individual definition may not De
important by itself, but the wide
spread continued interest for all
these months is of the utmost I'M
portance.
These correspondents have not
indicated in any way that free
enterprise is outmoded. They 40
not seem to feel that a stream
lined form of benevolent govern
ment supported by high taxes
promising security for all, is a de-
sirable substitute. They nave
written from camps and battle
fields as well as from office desks
to affirm stoutly their interest in
maintaining free enterprise. Al
though they have offered many
individual definitions, there has
been unanimous appraisal Of free
enterprise as one of the first essen
tials of American democracy.
And while on the subject OF defl-
nitions, perhaps the simplest OF all
and one which may express the
obiectives Of the great majority
was offered recently by DIR. Harley
L. Lutz Of Princeton University
Said he:
eff you want to make dollar
by any honest means you are Tree
to try, and If you succeed you may
keep it."

The commander of the Anglo
