Parity and the Drouth Whether or not the agricultural adjustment administration will be! successful will be determined this winter, and by the city people rather than by the farmers. This is the inescapable conclusion | after a study of the present situation and the prospective increase in the price of living, due mostly to the drouth and in a lesser degree to the acreage curtailment program of the agricultural adjustment administra- tion. The nub of the whole business is illustrated by price lists for common food necessities last May and esti- mates of probable prices next spring on the basis of present production and supplies in storage. The average for 51 cities last May was 11.1 cents a quart for milk, 29.6/ for butter, 27.2 for round steak, 27.6 for leg of lamb, 18.8 for smoked ham, 23.3 for eggs, 8 cents a pound for white bread, 4.7 cents for flour, 2.7 cents for potatoes, 29.7 for oranges, 11.3 for a No. 2 can of corn and 106 for a No. 2 can of tomatoes. All items are priced on the usual retail units, such as dozens or pounds. Next spring, according to the esti- mates, residents of the same 51 cities may be paying 12.5 cents for milk, 39.5 for butter, 38.3 for round steak, 38.2 for leg of lamb, 30.3 for smoked ham, 38 for eggs, 9 for bread, 5.3 for flour, 3.4 for potatoes, 40 for oranges, 15 for corn and 14.6 for tomatoes. ‘The effect is to markedly raise the price of foodstuffs to the consumer, presumably with an attendant in- crease to the producer. In fact, by spring, it is probable that the long- sought parity between agricultural prices and industrial prices will have been attained. Curiously enough, however, the Toad by which the goal will have been reached will have been as thorny for many farmers as for city consumers, for in districts where the crop has been ruined by drouth, farmers will be faced with the necessity of paying parity prices from which they had hoped to benefit, for many farmers will have to buy considerable food this winter. In many cases gardens have withered with the grain crop and canned goods will be obtained from the store rather than from the cellar. ‘Thus, to discontent which almost certainly is bound to be expressed in the cities as prices rise, will be added discontent on some of the farms. To ® great many in this area the achieve- ment of parity will mean only an added burden. If it can be done, this unrest will be translated into political attacks on the AAA with the avowed intention of doing away with all agricultural planning on the ground that it has worked harm to the consumer and has failed to benefit the producer. In sections where the producer has be- come a consumer, willy nilly, this Proposal may win support from the unthinking, even though parity is the goal for which we have struggled. ‘That it was achieved so quickly and in a way which none of us like, is merely an accident, The one bulwark against entire abandonment of the adjustment pro- gram is the support which it will re- ceive in areas which have a crop. In North Dakota, for example, Red River ‘Valley farmers are likely to favor its .29| half the demand is voiced. 00) crop will total some 5,252,000 bushels tural prices. The contention has been heard more or less frequently of late years, despite the rather apparent fact that tariffs have had little to do with prices unless coupled with machinery to curtail production. Nevertheless the cry is being heard, despite the prospect that we may have to import some agricultural ne- cessities such as hay and stock feed. Neither need it be assumed that in- [creased prices will be an unmitigated blessing to the farmer, in whose be- This year, for example, the flax and about 2,000,000 bushels of this the country’s requirements. An increased tariff would mean in- 00| creased prices, not only for flax but for all things made from it. The re- j Sult, in view of the short production, might be to cost the farmers as a paint than was added to the incomes of individual farmers by the in- crease. One class, however, would benefit without question. That is composed of speculators who have bought up a lot of last year’s flax and are wait- ing to unload it at fat profits. Either the politicians who are urg- ing high tariffs right now are too far behind the times to recognize the truth or they are trying to sell out the farmer whose friend they pretend to be. Move Roosevelt’s Cabin? Residents of Medora, faced with the opportunity of getting a federal park through operation of the CCC, have started a movement to return the Roosevelt cabin from Bismarck to its old place in the valley of the Little Missouri. The proposal is one which com- mands particular interest here be- cause the cabin has been located in Bismarck so long that it has become @ permanent attraction on the capi- tol grounds and the proposal.to move it away doubtless will inspire con- siderable opposition. The basis for Medora’s claim, of course, is obvious. It was there that the cabin was erected when Roose- velt came to North Dakota and the normal place for restoring it would be its original site. No one, not even an ardent Bismarck resident, could argue with that theory. The history of the case, however, discloses that Medora’s right to con- sideration has been foreclosed by time and the lack of interest which its citizens showed when such inter- est was most important. The cabin was going to ruin when it was torn down and its timbers shipped to the St. Louis exposition as @ part of North Dakota’s exhibit there. No demand was made for its return to Medora when the cabin was brought to Bismarck and as- sembled on the capitol grounds, Thousands of people have visited it in its present location, Other thou- sands visit it every year as may be proved by a glance at the record book which is kept there by the local chap- ter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It has become a part of our scenery by adoption. Bismarck can sympathize with Me- dora’s desire to have the cabin back, but it also is prepared to defend the idea that it should now be left just where it is.

The Farmers’ Billions (Duluth Herald) A new and brighter picture of the farm situation has appeared. Instead of being forced to the breadline by the drouth and short crops, as earlier reports indicated, later and more careful surveys bring the cheering news that the farmers’ cash income this year will be from 25 to nearly 30 per cent more than last year. Distressing as the drouth has been in some unfortunate areas, the gen- eral shortage of crops will be more than offset by the much higher prices they will bring, and in addi- tion will be the millions of dollars received from the government for participation in crop reduction pro- These government benefits are much greater and more important to the farmer this year than many real- ize, and they will add immensely to the purchasing power of the farming states.

YOU CANT ARGUE WITH HuN-| GER Up to a point the sensation of hun- ger is quite pleasant. That is, when you are confident you are going to have something good to eat at the regular time. Call it appetite if you Prefer. Whatever it is or whatever its nature or origin the feeling is pleas- ant. But let it pass beyond that point, say when by some mischance you are cheated out of the anticipated meal, to suffer actual pangs or pains of hunger. Physiologists explain the pleasant stage of hunger as being the sensa- tion or sensations produced by perist- altic movements of the lower end of the stomach (pyloric portion) in the Process of digesting the last meal. It is assumed there is still a little food left in the upper end of the stomach. But now this is propelled onward and there you are with an empty stom- ach. The peristaltic movements now include the upper or cardiac portion, and when contractions occur in this upper portion they become unpleasant pangs or hunger pains. It might be inferred from this that if one could take some fake food into the stomach about the time it is pro- Ppelling the last morsel onward into the duodenum, one could prevent the pangs of hunger and carry on with comfort, on a restricted diet. But you can’t argue with hunger and you can’t fool the stomach as easily as that. A repast of boot soup may temporarily assuage the hunger pains of a starving man. A tightening of the belt may put off for a time the pangs of hunger. But this sensation or sense of hunger is not due entirely to the stomach con- tractions or peristaltic movements mentioned. Surely the instinctive demand of the body for food has something to do with it. It is the body as a whole that craves food, not just the stomach. I think we too often lose sight of the fact that it is not just meat or bread or sugar or butter the body craves. For well being we require not only a minimum daily ration of protein, carbohydrate and fat but also a certain daily mini- mum of minerals and vitamins. And it is in the instinctive effort to gratify this natural, normal demand for the essentials that most people eat too much. You know one has to eat a lot of bread and meat to get any vitamins at all and neither of these, nor sugar and starch as these materials are found in our ordinary food, will supply the minerals the body demands. Remember, now, I am giving mere- ly my opinion or belief about this. It seems to me, from study and ob- servation as well as from personal experience in dieting, that when one gets the minerals and vitamins the body requires, one can restrict the intake in calories enough to insure FLAPPER, FANNY SAYS: and shortly it changes to something | unpleasant, and if you have to go a| day or so without food you are likely | reduction, without suffering from hunger. That, I am convinced, is the key to scientific reduction. After all, it is only logical to find that when the vitamins and minerals of which manufacturing, preserving and cooking processes rob our na- tural food, are restored to us, we eat to live and not to grow fat.

Section and preparing will tell all about the idea. A credit union is a co-operative as- sociation into which members put their savings and from which members may obtain loans. It is adaptable for a community, church, factory, department store, neighbor- hood, fraternal organization, People. & Governor William I. Myers has ap- pointed Herbert Emmerich, his ad- ministrative assistant, to handle the credit union set-up. An applicant for membership in a credit union must have a common bond or association with the group clared once a year from net earnings —and to a vote equal to that of any other member. Funds saved by members may be lent to members “for provident and productive purposes” for not more than two years, unsecured loans being limited to $50 and secured loans to $200 unless unimpaired capital is less than $2,000, in which case they can’t run more than 10 per cent of it. Twenty per cent of net earnings, Plus fees and fines collected, must be placed in a reserve fund to absorb possible loss. By-laws will provide for a board of directors, a credit committee, a su- pervisory committee—charged with auditing—president, vice president, clerk and treasurer, who is bonded. SEVEN PERSONS MAY START ACTION Any seven persons associated to- gether by common occupation or in- terest can delegate one of their num- ber to write to the Credit Union Sec- tion of FCA here, which will tell them what to do to get a union charter. ‘They must, however, have a poten- tial membership of at least 50.
