r FARMER MAKING T NO MORE MONEY I THAN IN 1914 His Wartime Prosperity is Offset by Prices He Pays for Every Article.
"While - farmers are getting higher prices for the products they sell than they received In 1914 or at the beginning of the war, they are also paying higher prices for the things they buy. and It 13 of special concern to them to know Just how they hare fared In the general price movement of things sold In relation to that of things bought. In 1915 farmers rectlved 3 percent less than in 1914 for crops and live stock In their comroslte price, but they paid 9 percent mce i- the composite price of the many articles that they bought. Relative loss in the second year of the war also was suffered by farmers. What they sold In crops and livestock advanced In Joint price, it is true but only by 12 per cent, while what they cought advanced 21 per cent. Price Movement Reversed. In the next year, 1917, the relative character of these price movements was reversed, and the farmer faced prosperity Instead of disaster since the price that he received for crops end livestock gained 74 per cent upon 1914, while he paid 449 percent more in the composite price of his purchases. Wartime is a period of rapid changes in prices and of sudden and often of painful maladjustments. Although the farmer lost ground In 1915 and 1916 In comparison with 1914, and regained the lost ground in 1917 and gained much more, he lost his relative lead In 1918 and found himself where he started in 1914 in. the comparison of price of crops and live stock with that of things bought. The advance of price received In 1918 above 1914 was 97 percent, and that of price paid was 96 percent, or substantially the same. Commercial fertilizer in 1918 cost the farmer 70 per cent, more per ton that he paid in 1914, bonemeal was 73 per cent, higher, and lime 77 per cent higher, and the dung fork was 74 per cent, more costly and the manure spreader 67 per cent. Gasoline cost the farmer 67 per cent, more in 1918 than it did four years before; 1-inch lumber was 74 per cent higher; shingles, 49 per cent; paint, 104 per cent; linseed oil, 165 per cent; coal 43 per cent; hemp rope, 148 per cent His "Chew" Costly Now. While the fanner bit off a chew of tobacco in 1918 from a plug that cost him 71 per cent, more than 1914 he wore a flannel shirt that cost 130 per cent more in 1918 than in 1914, a felt hat, 70 per cent more, shoes. 76 per cent more and a suit of clothing, 96 per cent more. Binder twine cost the farmer 150 per cent more In 1918 than in 1914; barbed wire, 99 per cent; barrels for apples. 104 per cent; half-bushel baskets, 45 per cent; buggies, 57 per cent, double wagons, 71 per cent; harness 65 per cent; horse blankets 96 per cent; Paris green, 123 per cent; grain sacks, 1S2 per cent; nails, 87 per cent; wire fence, 92 per cent. These are averages for the United States.
Experiment In Industrial Democracy Is Conducted Br Associated Press) NEW YORK, June 5. Manufacturers and union labor leaders all over the United States are said to be watching with interest and sympathy the experiment in industrial democracy which Is now being conducted in five cities Ft- Wayne, Ind., Shelton, Conn., Cleveland, O., Paterson, N. J., and Brooklyn, N. Y., and which, it is believed by some of them, will scotch if it does not prevent Bolshevism in industrial centres where it is put into effect The originator of the plan, John Leltch, an efficiency engineer, started it among 300 employes of a Ft. Wayne piano factory. Its basis was the constitution of the United States. The factory was administered by a senate, a house of representatives and a cabinet corresponding to the aids and advisors of the president Its success is said to have been immediate and permanent Yale university, the National Council of Defense and the National association of manufaeturers are said to be a few of the bodies that are investlating the merits of the plan, B. Edmound David, head of a Bilk manufacturing corporation in Paterson, N. J, who was instrumental in introducing the system in his factory in that city about a year ago, expressed today the keenest satisfaction at the reults attained and said he hoped, ultimately, to establish similar working conditions in four other of his mills in York, Reading, Scranton and Beavertown, Pa. The Paterson manufacturer, however, said the new system should not be considered a "panacea" or adaptable to all kinds and sizes of Indutrial establishments.
Wilhelm Presents Blocks Of Sawed Tree To Friends
(By Associated Press) AMERONGEN, June 5. Former Emperor William sawed his 2,000th tree recently in the presence of the Bentnick family and the Burgomaster of Amerongtfa. The tree has been out up into blocks inscribed "2000 W. 11" and seven have been presented to his friends in Amerongen. . There were festivities at the castle in honor of the confirmation of Count Bentnlck's youngest son, Herr Hohenzollern's sawing companion. After the religious ceremony, the boy was summoned to the castle where the onetime monarch congratulated him and gave him a gold tie-pin representing crowned eagle, personally attaching the pin to his companion's tie. In the village one occasionally hears such questions as: "What is the fellow doing here; formerly he had no use for Amerongen. The sooner he clears out the better for you never know what may happen to us while he is here."

men were in France, but the lowest year for divorces was away back in
1910, with 63. Year Divorces Divorces Marriage "Asked. Granted. Licenses. 1910 . ... 63 428 1911 ... 69 382 1912 Ill 77 389 1913 ... 147 100 401 1914 .. 117 90 362 1915 .. 118 71 369 1916 .. 145 100 406 1917 . 160 126 443 1918 122 86 359
