In a gathering of business men at Chicago the other day these facts were revealed: A ranchman receives |4 cents for that part of a calf hide that goes into a pair of $12 shoes and the skilled workman gets $1.60 for making them. Somewhere between the producer of the raw ma- terial and the maker of the finished product, and th consumer the cost has been expanded more than $10. An ordinary bale of wool weighs 200 pounds. his entire lot would not be sufficient in present value to purchase a suit of tailored clothes weigh- ing 31% pounds. Back in the corn states, at present prices, it re- quires four bushels of corn to pay for halfsoling a pair of shoes. Thousands of bushels of apples rotted in the orchards. of Ohio and New York while apples sold at 10 cents apiece at fruit stands in Chicago. The senate agriculture! committee learned by sworn testimony recently that dark Virginia tobac- co of fine quality sold as low as | cent a pound. , Two thousand sheep, sold on the Chicago mar- ket, netted the shipper 34 cents a head. : A furniture salesman covering the territory, Toledo to Detroit, in May booked $26,000 worth! firmations should proceed in the regular manner) !* Was at this of orders. Traveling the same territory in Novem- ber he sold $23.75. The average farmer in America, notwithstand-, ing the unprecedented crops harvested, has not made as much the entire season as the average coal miner has made in one day. Idaho hay along the line of the Union Pacific| no sympathy among the millions of citizens who | duce roo! jvoted to throw out the entire Democratic adminis-!\ Railway cannot be marketed because the freight rate is almost equal to the selling price in Omaha. Add the expense of baling and hauling and the cost of the hay exceeds the value at Missouri River market points. These facts were contributed by business men present out of their own experience and knowldge. | You will readily agree that there is something wrong with such an economic situation. Therecanbe no question about it. There is something wrong. There has been that something wrong for some|¥¢@"s. and, according to equipment there has been, time. And the reason that it has not been righted is because there are still too many folks remaining PUt produced.

It requires time and time only for the process to work out. only heats us up and accomplishes nothing. Fundamental conditions are sound. We have not had in the country in years the supply of food- stuffs for man and beast we now have. So great have been the crops that there will be some loss to farmers by reason of high cost’ of production and low selling price, and the inevitable working of the law of supply and demand. In another season the farmer will be on a readjusted basis. So largely with the livestock producer only with him the period] will be longer than a season. The spending orgy of the farmer is over and it is rapidly ending in the cities. The general health of business can only now be hastened by rigid} economy and saving, application to work or busi- ness in hand, and willingness to accept a closer mar- n than formerly and such losses as are inevitable. lative action cannot cure, it can only aid, and it all depends tipou individual action. The greatest thing in favor of an early restora- tion of the status quo is the confidence of all classes so freely shown and the desire to get down out of the clouds and resume business on earth. = 0\the Democratic party. where President Wilson has been compelled to ap- Binns point a Republican he has chosen one who has been} tie United States entered thy war wool We may grow impatient, but that|there are different makes of cars.

The fact is that there was a split in the Republican party, a portion of gressive candidates, with the result that the Demo- crats won by a plurality.

A substitute for gasoline for motor fuel is ob-| tained by distillation from field com. The*process is not a new one and has been practiced for many from small and unimportant to very extensive out-| heretofore, been employed for motor energy, and it} sort of results. The success ‘of tests have been as varied as} factory have been with the heavier touring cars,| ‘ and larger carrying capacity trucks. The lighter cars show an early tendency to bog down, more especially if the storage tank is filled slightly aboye ithe guage mark. | Many pecularities of performance are noted! junder the application of the new fuel. Some cars jrun along quietly and decorously and you would never know that the tanks contained other than the usual and ordinary propelling force; While others jrattle along with great uproar and clatter and fre- quent explosions from the exhaust, irresponsible as to course and undecided as to whether to climb a| tree or a telephone pole. The course described} contains few straight lines, but many curves. The steering gear does not respond readily to the will of the driver. ancestors possessed the secret of distillation and manufactured great quantities of this liquid and that it was filled into wooden, earthen and glass vessels and sold to those who-desired it to be used! Labor will swing into line, and take its medi- cine with the rest. There is no other way aroun it-and as the general level is reached labor will be! in rlativly better situation. Wath labor it is not foing to be so much a question of wages as a ques-} tion of parity, and so largely with all of us. | In getting back to a condition more in conform- ity with natural laws many wrongs heretofore ex-! isting must and will be corrected.
