We have taliged quite a little, you and I, about the pretty universal farm feeling in t%is respect. It seems only fair that we should at least hear something from the o',):er side, *The paper knows ae “Finangisl Amer- jica” as its name imbplies, devoted to pews and comment on-finaneial matters. in a recent issue it published 2 signed rticle by one William J.

Baruch, a New York city financier of high standing, with an unusually wide and accyrate knowledge of universal ecoriomic conditions, said the other day in Chicago: “Millions of good farmers on good land and with good crops are actually running their business, through no fault of their own or the mischance of nature, at a loss that spells ruin if continued,” This condition Mr. Baruch .doesn't’ find to be mainly due to the railroads but to the fact that other businesses have been 80 centralized and concentrated that the farmer is compelled to buy from them at m‘lces controlled from great centers, i ¥ b T t ] . ; ) OPEN THIS EVENING AND TOMORROW EVENING GENUINE CAMEO BROOCHES Cholce Cameos, with detajls per- fectly executed.
