JXT OW that mid-winter sports are In t is fun swing, fsehlon’s pet theme is the faj, htuuisome, original sweater. According to the stylist’s rerston In regard to the sweeter of the moment, “brushed wool” Is the most popular Slogan In knitted outerwear parlance. The majority demand Is for sllpon or ^fwiiyger coat, knitted or “comfy” look- ■ Anyone looking for an eminently ashlonable cold-weather sweater will aake no mistake In selecting just such

model as Is pictured herewith, for it

m featured with very latest style detail*. It Is, first and foremost, of

brushed wool, which clnsses

It as a

topnotch fashion. It Is a heavy sllpon With horizontal broad black and nnrw white stripes alternating on a tan ound. That these stripes are horlontal Is one of its claims to style disnction, for stripes around and around re characteristic of the very latest In nitted garments. Other outstanding (otes which guarantee Its eligibility to e advance sweater class are the long,

snug-fitting sleeves and the high standing collar attached at the back. Of interest, also, Is the knitted hat of camel'a-hair wool in tan with border of tan and green. It is quite the desirable thing these days that our sweaters be topped with hats and scarves which are also knitted. The wearing of the scarf Is quite an art. It Is thrown about the throat In “accidentally on purpose” ways, which challenge admiration from those wMo ap-

preciate the picturesque.

Entrancing color effects are part of the scheme in brushed wool models. One of the most Interesting Is brushed wool knitted in a vague plaid pattern. Many of the shaggy sweater types are either tan or gray, with hints of powder blue, royal, green or orange, patterned In stripes and checks. No combination outclasses black-and-white.

Hello Fellow Farmers, please pardon my seeming impudence in an effort to break the dead silence that nows reigns supreme and is slowly but surely lulling us to sleep to our j bet interests. Is it not true that in ! our present unorganized condition we are unable to act in concert and direct our efforts as one man in any direction? If so, then the question is, how are we ever to get together? 1 Only a few days ago I heard one of ; the wealthiest and best farmers of j Putnam county, who owns some of the best land to be found in Walnut I Creek bottoms, ask one of his neigh- | h " who also owns some of the same II 'nd of land, this question, “How '■ rh do you consider your farm is (worth? With shame born of despair he dropped his head and replied that as an investment to make money “it is absolutely worthless”. In all the past history of this or any country there never was a time when good farmers were not rather proud to think or say that they were making

money, until now.

We all know the cause of this condition of affairs. We have a mountain of debt, public, and taxes on our backs, besides having to pay war-time prices for everything we buy except such things as farmers produce, and at the same time we are compelled to sell farm products at pre-war prices. When one is lost in a wilderness about the best and surest way to find a way out, is to find a path traveled by others. Accordingly, let us see what other people are doing. We all know about the pauperized condition of Europe and most other countries jwhere labor is cheap and nobody j is making any money. Both the cap1 italists of this country together with ' Union Labor realized this and immedI lately sought a way out to keep from I going down to the level with the capit- ! alists and labor of other countries. Capitalists saw their pathway out in a high protective tariff. They got it by way of an act of Congress. Union Labor saw their way out in the present immigration law which to all intents and purpose is a protective tariff to thorn. Want of space forbids that I should explain just how they manage to make it effective and work to their advantage, so I will pass on and make mention of

some more facts.

I don’t propose to tell you something you do not know, for if I did you might not believe me. You all know that the various groups of capitalists and laborers, the farmers alone excepted, are now in position to present a united front, and contrive to fix prices from the organization of hoot-blacks to the Standard Oil and When the school teachers weary of

receiving, half pay proceeded to organize and appeal to the legislature for an increase in wages they got it for the asking. And when the railroad comanies of the United States complain^, to congress that they were operating at a loss, their prayers were' answered by the enactment of what is known as the ‘CumminsEsch’ law which provided for sufficient in passenger and freight rates as will guarantee to them a fair net income on their capital stock. Notice it does not come out of the United States Treasury but it is fixedd so that it comes out of the pockets of all the people. Several years ago the legislature of the state of Indiana en-a-Hed a law which provided for the creuton of a “Pubic Utilities Commission” whose business it is to regulate the actions of the owners of public utilities and see to it that they do not do business at a loss, but actually fix rates high enough to insure them a good net profit on their investments and pay for their labor besides. Now fellow farmers, how are we to be delivered from the tiresome trr.sk of producing and selling our wh^at and corn at just about onehalf the cost of production? There can be but one answer. Wo do not ask for a law guaranteeing to us a fixed price which would take one cent from the United States Treasurery, but we all do know that it is humanly possible to fix it so it can he done by taking it from the (rockets of all the people, just as is being done for others. Farmers everywhere, almost to a man agree that we are rightfully entitled to have a fixed price on our products just high enough to reach a parity with our increased taxes and prices on such things as we have to buy, but the question is, how are we to get it ? I have a plan which so far as 1 know is my own invention, which is as follows: Congress when in session should at the earliest possible moment enact a law providing for the “Creation and Operation” of a great national sales organization or corporation in which all the farmers may pool all that is offered for sale, of all their wheat, cotton, corn and such other farm products as necessity may require and sell to the manufacturer or actual consumer as the demand calls for them at a fixed price, based upon the cost of production. Such a plan will shorten the road and narrow the snec* ulator and forever do away with the infamous Board of Trade. Such a ' plan will insure equal opportunity and benefits alike both the large and small farmer—in that they all sell in the same way and at the same time. And when one is selling, they all are selling. I know many objections may be raised against such a plan, one of which is, many farmers must needs have their money all at once in order to meet their financial obligations. To which I will reply, our money would be coming in all the time from one harvest to the next and it' could be so arranged that everyone interested in the pool could receive monthly their proportionate part of the whole amount sold. Besides it would be an easv matter to borrow money on ware-house receipts for

grain so pooled.

Another objection is, that farmers would have to erect numerous elevati] ors in which to store away their products which they would be unwilling to do. To which I will reply, by saying that I venture the assertion that if farmers were guaranteed $1.25 a bushel for their next year’s crop of

corn and $1.75 a bushel for their wheat, they would move in the right direction just like so many hungry sheep from out of a dry lot into fine blue-grass pasture. JAMES H. JOB. ReelsviUe, Ind.

BETTER TIMES FOR FARMERS

Read The daily banner

POINT TO CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT, SECRETARY WALLACE SAYS.

WASHINGTON, January 5—Secretary Wallace in a review of the year from an agricultural standpoint declared in a statement recently that conditions arguer well for the continued improvement in the material prosperity of the American farmer. “The industry, courage and faith evidenced by the farmer of the nation during the past three years are slowly beginning their reward,” said Secretary Wallace. “Improvement in agricultural conditions, not as raprapidly as deserved, hut nevertheless, it continues. The promise of the year has been fullfilled. “So we come to the end of the third year of post-war depression with a fcleing of greater confidence borne of better times already realized and with justfied hopes of still further improvement in 1924. “There are discouraging conditions still to be overcome. There is the burden of debt. There are heavy taxes to he met. The cost of production and of what the farmers buy remains high. Farmers in the spring wheat territory especially are in sore straits from conditions largely beyond their

control.

“Experience gained during these years of depression, however, together with progress already made warrant a hopeful attitude for the coming year. Gradually crop acreage is being better adjusted. The domestic market continues strong. The children keep coming and that means a steady increasing number of mouths to be fed. Those who stay by the farm and do good farmign can look forward to better times as a reward for their years of toil and hardship. Those whose businesses depend directly upon farm purchases can find decided encouragement in the growing gross income of the farmer, for he will buy as his income expands. The year 1924 comes with the promise of continued improvement in the material prosperity of the farmer, and the farmer continues to be the material and spiritual backbone of |

the nation.”
