of agriculture and Its secretary, Edwin T. Meredith the nation is a collection of gullible suckers walking around with exposed bank rolls. The famous American public, than which there used to be no "famouser," has become In the last five years as naive aa a girl with her first hair net. It has,, by Us semi-indifference, brought " upon Itself a high cdst of living and a dollar worth 30 cents. Food Should Be Cheap. "Food today," said Mr. Meredith In Chicago Tuesday, "should bo aa cheap If not cheaper than It was six years ago. There is more food per capita being produced in the country. Mr. Meredith produced figures. The figures showed that In the last 30 years the production of grain on the farms had increased from 226 bushels per capita, to 406 bushels per capita; that 6ince 1880 production has increased 25 per cent per acre; that cotton has Increased from 36 pounds per capita to 60 pounds per capita; that milk has Increased from 80 gallons per capita to 96 gallons per capita wheat from six bushels to eight bushels the six leading cereals from 38 bushels In 1874 to (2 bushels in 1919. These and a succession of similar figures marshaled by the secretary of agriculture point plainly in his opinion, to the fact that production on the farms has not fallen off, but increased that following the natural laws of supply and demand, the cost of food should not have increased. - Enter Gold Brick Boobs. Enter, however, the great, wise American with the nervous bankroll. Ten years ago a man going to buy a pair of shoes for $5 would no more have thought of buying a pair for $10 than he would have thought of eating them. Today the citizen entering a shoe store or any other kind of a store will come through with any kind of a price asked and no questions asked by him. It is the same in the groceries, in the restaurants, theatres and all other places where the great American rube is shedding his bankroll. "We have become a nation of silly spendthrifts." &id- Mr. Meredith, and the result is we are being trimmed right and left by everybody and anybody. The newspapers prepare the American for his trimming. They keep writing about the high cost and the higher cost of living. The result Is that an American, when asked some preposterous sum for an article, sighs and says: 'Prices have gone up.' "Prices are hundreds per cent higher in some places than they should be. But that is not my field. That is up to the department of justice."

well known country bankers will Interest both city and country readers, be

cause the subjects discussed are of importance to all. The prosperity of

the "farmer is the basis of all prosperity. E. M. WEAVER, of the Farmers Bank at Milton No farms have been sold around Milton lately, that we know of, although there were quite a number of transfers in 1919. Land values are held steady and our farmers are content to hold and to continue to farm as usual, unless they get a price which suits them. Believe all the sales made are already on record and none are awaiting transfer on March 1. No Talk of Reduction.

Have heard no talk of reducing acreage this spring, except that the fanner will depend on himself and family to do the work, and because help la, scaroe will plant only what the family can care for. Some may cut down hog production for different reasons, but we have heard no talk of this. There are various opinions as to growing wheat. Not much building in prospect, except that we are to have one of the best township schools in the state, to be built this year. R. S. HIATT, cashier of the bank at Dublin Quite a few farms were sold in this vicinity last year, probably a dozen or more, and at high prices compared with pre-war land values. As to tenant changes there will be a number of them, in Wayne and over the line in Union County. No, I don't think

farmers will feed as many hogs as usual, in fact now and then a depositor has said that he would cut his feeding 50 per cent, using less feed and doing less work, also taking less risk as to

lower markets. Little Building Expected. Have heard no talk of cutting general crop acreages, though some must for lack of help. While there may be some building done on the farms, probably will, we know of none in sight in Dublin right now. We have plenty of money to loan for new buildings and would be elad to put it out. Our de

posits are 15 per cent over thase of February, 1919. JOSEPH BLOSE, Cashier of the Centervile State Bank Farmers are wondering if there are to be further losses on hogs which have been fed on

high priced rations, and as to the future of the live stock markets? Many Sell Brood Sows Many have sold off a number o! their brood sows and are planning to cut down on grain and increase their pasturage. How general that idea may be, am not prepared to say. Know of no farms that have been sold within a month, or likely to be sold Boon, but prices on land is weli maintained. As to decrease in general farm crop acreage, . there will be some. One farmer tells me that he will cut down

corn a third, ana plant dul ou acres.

they can handle to advantage, regardless of hired help. E. T. MAZE, Brownsville State Bank There have been some changes in farm ownership, not very many perhaps, but add at a large advance, and some at more than double what would have been realized four or five years ago. Not only are land values up but are well maintained. - Tenants are Wanted As to farm tenants there are a number of farmers looking for good renters and these seem very scarce and do little moving. There is some talk of reducing acreage, not so much as to demand and prices as because of help. It isn't a question over here of wages, but of getting good help at any rrice, or a good tenant, as the case may be. This situation is really serious and must cut production. The only new building of importance planned just now is a fine garage. Business is good with us and retailers are not complaining.

Hines Asks Help In Preparing Teacher's Week

City and county school officials

Wednesday received a letter from L.

N. Hines, state superintendent of public Instruction, asking them to take

active participation in the celebration

or Teachers' Week, March 7 to 14. The letter follows in part: "The week of March 7 to 14 has been

set aside as teachers' week, or educational week, here in Indiana. The emergency that confronts Indiana's

schools on account of the scarcity of teachers is almost beyond stating In adequate terms. "Hundreds of young people must be turned toward the profession of teaching in our state if we are to keep anything near the Indiana standard of teaching efficiency.

"We are very anxious to have held

in every city, town and township in the 6tate during educational week, one or more public meetings bearing on the welfare of the public schools, the scarcity of teachers, the pay and

otner features of the teacher's work.

and matters kindred to these topics."

The bill requires that all marriage

Soap should be used very carefully, If you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared

shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use Is Mulslfled cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can -get Mulsifled cocoanut oil

ehampoo at any pharmacy, us very

cheap, and a few ounces will supply

every member of the family for months. Advertisement.
