WOES OF FARMER MUST BE SOLVED TO SEE NORMALCY ESTABLISHED IN UNITED STATES

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. The -woes of the fanner ia this period of deflation of farm prices is1 an oft-told tale. It is the story most often told ia Washington of late. Also It is the most impressive story to reach the ears of congress and the members of the various committees which are wrestling with problems affecting farmers most profoundly first of all, and most directly, but also in the final analysis affecting every industry and every family in America. The fact that all stock-raising farmers have lost heavily through the declines in prices on the hoof during the past 12 months is more easily discovered from reading the market reports than from patronizing butchers and market men. Many of these appar-

enty take no note of the lowering of

their cost3 in the wholesale meat

markets, or of the fact that they are buying killing stock at less than fifty

cents on the dollar of peak prices, so far as their own customers, the consumers, are concerned. This Is a country-wide condition, la the main, and of this fact there is no attempted denial, either In Maine, Indiana or oa the Pacific coast. Prices Greatly Out of Line.

This largely explains the comparative underconsumption of meats, not merely now in hot weather but throughout the year. Retail prices are too much and generally out of lino with costs of live stock and the shrinking of incomes of millions of people. This is so broadly true that it may be paid to represent an almost universal condition in this country. As a matter of fact, our study of farm markets and conditions in the central west, and tho close reading of the most reliable Information, trade statistics and retail market comment and advertising in various publications, has failed to develop a single town on the entlro map where consumers have noticeably benefitted by the continuous decline in cattle, hogs sheep and lambs during the past 12 months. Senator Capper's Views In his address in the senate devot

ed specifically to the meat packing

industry, last spring, Mr. Capper cited a single instance in illustrating his point with reference to live stock growers' losses. Had the feeder held his cattle until now his loss would have been still heavier. It may be said, too, that Mr. Hunter whom the senator cites, was not as heavy a loser as were many in every corn

the cattle to Chicago. Ia other words.

Mr. Hunter bought 102,000 pounds of

live steers for 110.810 and sold 142

800 nounds of beef on the hoof Just

40.800 more nounds of beef thaa he

bought for $10,684. taking a loss ofi $126, a loss of seven months' work, a I loss of all the alfalfa and cora bei fed these steers, and a loss of seven months' laterest oa $10,810 a rather heavy penalty for having contributed more thaa 40,000 pounds of additional beef to feed his fellow countrymen "Naturally, when stockmen lose so much moaey la raising, feeding, and shipping meat animals, there are going to be fewer such animals produced, and eventually meat Is likely to become scarcer and dearer for strictly legitimate reasons. This time next year steaks In Washington restaurants may be costing $8 a pound instead of

$4. and quite possibly the producer will not be receiving a satisfactory return even then for bis labor and his feed and for Interest on his investment," In his address Senator Capper touched the edges of the national farm problem, using 6ome of the ammunition furnished bv Gray Silver, the man

in charge of the farm bureau's offices in 'Washington. , - Now Mr. Silver Is far from being a conservative in his statements. He is given to "spreading it on" to make his figures impressive and to get his facts into the high light That is his business in Washington. Mr. Silver's Comparisons. A few weeks ago Mr. Silver sent out the following from his Washington office, and many other paragraphs to the same effect. He has talked, before the various agricultural committees in the same strain. It should be remembered that Mr. Silver is talking of values at country stations, and on farms, and not at market points with

heavy freight charges added.

the congress is to devise a plan by which through fair marketing conditions, an extinction of profiteering, a lowering of freight rates, and a rehabilitation of our foreign and domestic markets the producer may receive a fair return without the consumer being brutally victimized by the conscienceless purveyor of bread, meat, and other food products. We should see, also that in future adequate credit is provided for farmers through long

time and short-time loans, adapted

fairly and practically to the peculiar conditions ef the farming business, to

afford farmers the same credit accom

modations now afforded other lines of

business. Is Essentially Correct.

This seems to cover the essentials

from the viewpoint of the farmer, and the average consumer will say: "Speed

WASHINGTON Cecil B. DeMille's Paramount picture, "Forbidden Fruit," which is crowding the Washington theatre, is a

superb picture production and a rich cinema treat for all who see It. The story is embellished by a vision of Cinderella in which Mr. De Mille's genius is displayed to the finest advantage. It is colorful, strongly effective and produced on a scale of significance unexampled even in this day of stupendous productions. Agnes

Ayres, the leading woman player, is a

suffering wife living in a tenement;

Clarence Burton, a gambler and crook,

may now tell. The times are out of "as an important part in shaping the

joint. Raw material has been lowered in every line but the disposition to

make all the money the market will stand seems still almost universal from manufacturer down or up the line. Admittedly, however, we are

buying many articles at much nearer their real value than for many moons.

The Theatres

MURRAY. Eva Novak heads the capable cast which presents "The Smart Sex," as

one of the most entertaining comedydramas of the year. The picture will be shown for the last time Wednesday at the Murray theatre. With the first scene Miss Novak is seen as a stranded show girl who decides to 6hare her poverty with Arabella, a trick goose. They walk tho tracks to the city and there they cotao to a city where an amateur performance is to be given for prizes. The girl and the goose win the first prizj and leave for the country, where $20 is considered to be more elastic. There they stumble into a thrilling adventure

Here which results in happiness for the girl

the

girl's career. The story was written by Jeanie Macpherson, while the pho

toplay was the work of Alvin Wyckoff and Karl Struss.

HUNGARIAN TREATY RATIFIED PARIS, July 13. Ratification of the treaty between the allied nations and Hungary, known as the Trianon treaty, was voted by the French senate late last night.

CHICAGO, 111., July 13. Farm va

cations for several thousand children of Chicago will be provided this summer, owing to the plans of the United Charities organization, which Is cooperating with the farm burcas of the

6tate to place city children on xarmsj for a real country vacation of two weeks. 1 A feature upon which E. S. Jones, director of the summer outing work, lays emphasis, is the fact that such country vacations will give to many city children a chance to become familiar with farm life, of which they

are totally ignorant at present. Farmers also welcome the opportunity to promote a closer familiarity with country life. "I'd like to have a couple of boys who have never been in the country 'so I can show them what it is really like outside the cities," wrote a Kane county farmer.

COLLECTS LARGE SUM. (liy Associated Preset COLUMBUS, O., July 13. Fees amounting to $224,700.62 were collect ed for the year ending June 30, by the Ohio insurance department, perhaps earner of the largest net revenue of any of the state departments. Taxes to the amount of 2,694,086.62 were collected, with the expenses of the department calculated at $70,000, the annual

report shows.

The next time any one tays a Washington dinner check, with his steak costing him anywhere from $2 to $4 a pound, let him reflect oa the case of this Nebraska farmer. Last October Charles Huater, aa Inavale cattleman, shipped to bis feed lots 102 head of beef steers, which cost him $10,810 delivered in his lots, or 10' cents a pound. He 6old them seven month3 later on the Chicago market for $10,684, or T1 cents a pound a loss of 3 cents a pound besides having to pay an $S92 freight bill for shipping

will resent his conclusion that prices of nearly everything sold everywhere are still out of line with present prices on live stock, on corn. 30 cent oats and dollar wheat at country elevators, in fact, in some portions of the corn

belt, notably tributary to Kansas City, corn is bringing little more than are Wayne oats, which today are 30 cents per bushel. July corn is but 50 cents at Kansas City against 5Sc at St.

Louis, and 64c ia Chicago, the highest

corn market in the west. These prices

are much higher than were paid last

week. Senator Capper's Summary.

If You Want More Bodily and Mental Vigor Try Me I Only Require One Minute of your time each day. I have helped give thousands of weak, run-down, nervous folks, increased strength and endurance, in two weeks' time, in many instances.

I am not a doctor but PHYSICIAN'S HAVE OFTEN ADVISED PEOPLE TO TRY ME. Former UNITED STATES SENATORS. United States, Army Generals, Judges of U. S. Courts and many well known people have availed themselves of my help. v STRONG MEN, ATHLETES, BRAIN WORKERS-they know what I can do when they want the "stay there" strength and endurance that wins. WOMEN WHO ARE WEAK, nervous and irritable as a result of overwork, worry or household drudgery have often obtained most surprising relief from me.

When, as a result of iron starvation, you cet up feeling tired in the morning when you can no longer do your day's work without being all fagged out at night; when your digestion all goes wrong, or you have pains across the back and your face looks pale and drawn, do not wait until you go all to pieces and collapse in a state of nervous prostration or until in your weakened condition you contract some serious disease, but try me. I only take one minute of vour time each day. I am NUXATED IRON organic iron. I am like the iron in your blood and like the iron in spinach, lentils and apples. I help make strong, forceful, red blooded men and beautiful, healthy, rosy-cheeked women.Without iron like me, your blood becomes pale, thin and watery and loses its power to change food into living tissue, therefore nothing you eat does

you the proper amount of good you do not pet the full strength out of it. To prove to yourself what I can do get your doctor to take a specimen of your blood and make a "blood count" of your nd blood corpuscles, then try me for one month and have a new "blood count" made and see how your red blood corpuscles have increased and how much stronger and better you feel; how the. color has come back to your face and how much stronger and more steady your nerves now are. I will not injure your teeth nor disturb your stomach. You need not lose a cent on me. If I do not give you satisfactory results my manufacturers will refund your money. Cet only me.
