PAYROLL OF CIVILIZATION MET BY FARMER

payroll of the bankers, merchants, etc. After these obligations are paid, the farmer has only a few bunches of vegetables, some fruit and poultry which he can sell and call the proceeds his own.

While the war is on. and there is a lull in business, we want all legislative bodies to take an inventory of the statute books and wipe off all extravagant and useless laws. A good house-cleaning is needed and economies can be instituted here and there that will patch the clothes of Indigent children, rest tired mothers and lift mortgages from despondent homes. Unnecessary workmen taken off and useless expenses chopped down all along the line will add to the prosperity of the farmer and encourage him In his mighty effort to feed and clothe the world.

Carload of Eckhart Buggies just arrived. Ready for your inspection Saturday, L. P. Brown.

Shawnee Mound.

When the farmer pays off his help he has very little left and to meet these tremendous payrolls he has been forced to mortgage homes, work women in the field and increase the hours of his labor. We are, therefore, compelled to call upon all industries dependent upon the farmers for subsistence to retrench in their expenditures and to cut off all unnecessary expenses. This course is absolutely necessary in order to avoid a reduction in wages, and we want, if possible, to retain the present wage scale paid railroad and all other industrial employes. We will devote this article to a discussion of unnecessary expenses and whether required by law or permitted by the managements of the concerns, is wholly immaterial. We want all waste labor and extravagance, of whatever character, cut out. We will mention the full crew bill as illustrating the character of unnecessary expenses to which we refer.

WANTS NO “DEADHEADS” ON LIST OF EMPLOYES.

If any of these Industries have surplus employes we can use them on the farm. We have no regular schedule of wages, but we pay good farm hands on an average of $1.50 per day of thirteen hours when they board themselves: work usually runs about nine months of the year and the three months dead time, they can do the chores for their board. If they prefer to farm on their own account, there are more than 14,000,000,000 acres of idle land on the earth’s surface awaiting the magic touch of the plow. The compensation Is easily obtainable from Federal Agricultural Department statistics. The total average annual sales of a farm In the continental United States amounts to $516.00; the cost of operation Is $840.00; leaving the farmer $176 per annum to live on and educate his family.

A CALL UPON THE LAW MAKERS TO PREVENT USELESS TAX UPON AGRICULTURE.

A near-to conflagration was escaped at the home of Oeo. C. Livingston early yesterday morning. One of the girls while trying to find a pair of shoes to match her suit for the day went back to ye olden times, forgetting the electric lights, and struck a match to hunt the missing shoe. On returning to the closet a moment later she found the clothes afire. The flames were extinguished before much damage was done, before the fire department was called out, the damage being confined to a few cast off clothing.

By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers' Union

The farmer is the paymaster of Industry and as such he must meet the nation’s payroll. When industry pays its bill it must make a sight draft upon agriculture for the amount, which the farmer is compelled to honor without protest. This check drawn upon agriculture may travel to and fro over the highways of commerce; may build cities; girdle the globe with bands of steel; may search hidden treasures in the earth or traverse the skies, but in the end it will rest upon the soil. No dollar will remain suspended in midair; It is as certain to seek the earth’s surface as an apple that falls from a tree. When a farmer buys a plow he pays the man who mined the metal, the woodman who felled the tree, the manufacturer who assembled the raw material and shaped it Into an article of usefulness, the railroad that transported it and the dealer who sold him the goods. He pays the wa!ges of labor and capital employed in the transaction as well as pays for the tools, machinery, buildings, etc., used in the construction of the commodity and the same applies to all articles of use and diet of himself and those engaged in the subsidiary lines of industry. There is no payroll in civilization that does not rest upon the back of the farmer. He must pay the bills —all of them. The total value of the nation’s annual agricultural products is around $12,000,000,000, and It is safe to estimate that 95 cents on every dollar goes to meeting the expenses of subsidiary industries. The farmer does not work more than-, thirty minutes per day for himself; the remaining thirteen hours of the day’s toil he devotes to meeting the payroll of the hired hands of agriculture, such as the manufacturer, railroad, commercial and other servants.

The Texas Farmers' Union registered its opposition to this character 6f legislation at the last annual meeting held in Port Worth, Tex., August 4, 1914, by resolution, which we quote, as follows:

RAISE Winter Laying Rhode Is-

“The matter of prime importance to the farmers of this state is an adequate and efficient marketing system; and we recognize that such a system is impossible without adequate railroad facilities, embracing the greatest amount of service at the least possible cost. We further recognize that the farmers and producers in the end pay approximately 95 per cent of the expenses of operating the railroads, and it is therefore to the interest of the producers that the expenses of the common carriers be as small as is possible, consistent with good service and- safety. We, therefore, call upon our law-makers, courts and juries to bear the foregoing facta in mind when dealing with the common carriers of this state, and we do especially reaffirm the declarations of the last annual convention of our State Union, opposing the passage of the so-called ‘full-crew’ bill before the thirty-third legislature of Texas.”

There is no occasion for the legislatures making a position for surplus employes of industry. Let them come "back to the soil” and share with us the prosperity of the farm.

Business makes business. The time to get business is when you are needing it and not when you have all the business you can attend to, If New Rictimond and every other town in this country would quit talking hard times and their business men—the men of the towns and cities of this good old country of ours, who make the business wheels go round in good and bad times as well, we say if these men would get to doing business themselves there would be business and plenty of it. This old country has plenty of moaey and its people are as needy and as ready to buy' as they ever were in the days gone by. We repeat: “business makes business,” and it will even do the stunt in this old town!

When honesty is merely a good policy it is a poor virtue.

MEANS OF WASHING THE EYE

Winking Is a Process Which Dame Nature Has Instituted for Optic’s Preservation.

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.

From a small beginning the sale and use of this remedy has extended to all parts of the United States and to many foreigh countries When you have need of such a medicine give Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy a trial and you will understand why it has become so popular for coughs, colds and croup. Obtainable everywhere.—Adv.

The unconscious act of winking bears a quite important relation to the welfare of the eye. This being the most delicate and sensitive organ of the body exposed to the air, it is in constant need of the protection given, by the eyelids, which not only close quickly at the approach of danger, but are employed in washing the surface of the eye. Moistening is required to offset the drying effect of tlje air, and cleaning to prevent the injurious effect of dirt.

FARMS FOR SALE

FOR SALE—Best improved 860 acres in Washington County,

Indiana; 820 acres cultivated; sev-en-room house, barn, eight outbuildings, orchard, etc.; $50 per acre; stock and machinery if wanted. HENRY REYNOLDS, Vallonin, Ind. 45

The farmers of Missouri in the last election, by an overwhelming majority, swept this law off the statute book of that state, and it should come oft of all statute books where it appears and no legislature of this nation should pass such a law or similar legislation which requires unnecessary expenditures. The same rule applies to all regulatory measures which increase the expenses of industry without giving corresponding benefits to the public. There is ofttimes a body of men assembled at legislature^—-and they have a right to be there —who, in their zeal for rendering their fellowassociates a service, sometimes favor an increase in the expenses of industry without due regard for the men who bow their backs to the summer’s sun to meet the payroll, but these committees, while making a record for themselves, rub the skin off the shoulders of the farmer by urging the legislature to lay another burden upon his heavy load and under the lash of “be it enacted” goad him on to pull and surge at the traces of civilization, no matter how he may sweat, foam and gall at tlie task. When legislatures “cut a melon” for labor they hand the farmer a lemon. The farmers of the United States are not financially able to carry “dead heads” on their payrolls. Our own hired hands are not paid unless we have something for them to do and we are not willing to carry the hired help of dependent industries unless there is work for them. We must therefore insist upon the most rigid economy.

Every time you wink the eye is washed. Inside the eye is the little tear gland, which, as its name implies, is busy storing up' the supply of tears. This gland keeps the inside of the lid moist, and you wink automatically whenever the surface of the eye becomes dry or a particle of dust or anything else strikes it. This work is done as often as necessary, and to realize how often it is necessary try how long you can keep your eyes open without winking.

There is more Catarrh In thti section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed locjd remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars anti testimonials. Addrese F. J.

The Farmer’s Payroll and How He

Meets It.

The annual payroll of agriculture approximates $12,000,000,WO. A portion of the amount is shifted to foreign countries in exports, but the total payroll of industries working for the farmer divides substantially as follows: Railroads, $1,252,000,000; manufacturers, $4,365,000,000; mining, $655,000,000; banks, $200,000,000; mercantile $3,500,000,000, ahd a heavy miscellaneous payroll constitutes the remainder.

New Discoveries In Pompeii.

Most interesting ruins of Pompeii have been unearthed during the excavations ■which are being carried out by the m Italian government. A magnificent home has been discovered, and alt the frescoes and vaulting are in a perfect state. A staircase was found intact leading from tjhe lower to the upper floor of the house. The surroundings of the bouse have also been explored, and several smaller houses have been brought to light finely adorned with pictures of exquisite coloring. A few of the houses have mosaic floors with pictures of scenes taken chiefly from the Trojan war. In addition to these, the bodies of several persons who must have been surprised in their houses by the disaster which destroyed the city have been found, and in several cases their garments are in a very good state of preservation.

It takes the corn crop, the most valuable in agriculture, which sold last year for $1,692,000,000, to pay off the employes of the railroads; the money derived from our annual sales of livestock of approximately $2,000,000,000, the yearly cotton crop, valued at $920,000,000; the wheat crop, which is worth $610,000,000, and the oat crop, that is worth $440,000,000, are required to meet the annual payroll of the manufacturers. The money derived from the remaining staple crops is used in meeting the
