' President Wilson In his message to the farmers of the United States, of January 31, voices a strong faith In their loyalty and makes a strong call for their co-operation in winning the war. It has been the fashion of many writers to compare the production nar acre of European farmers wltn that of American farmers to the det riment of the American, The presi dent, however, makes the assertion that the farmers of this country are as efficient as any other farmers In the world, and that while they do not produce more per acre, It is not 'only not necessary that they should la so. oei-haDB it would be bad econ omy for them to attempt It. The real test Is tuat they do produce by two or three times more per man per unit of labor and capital thun the farmers of any European country; they are more alert and UBe more labor saving devices than any other farmers In the world. The response of the farmers, says Mr. Wilson; to the demands of the present emergency has been in every way remarkable, and he quote: fig ures la proof of the assertion. These achievements, he urges, should he repeated and even exceeded. The president denies that the gov ernment has sought to fix the price of foodstuffs and not sought to fix other prices which determine the expenses of the farmer, stating tliut the government has successfully regulated the prices of many materi als underlying all the interests of the country, and such regulation was not only for the purchases of the government but for the purchases of the public, and in fixing the prloes of fooddstuiTs the government Iiub sin cerely tried to keep the Interests ot the farmer as much in mind as the Interests of others. Recalling the historic action of Classic Coats Stylishly Distinctive There's a world of difference in "coats" and as a discriminating buyer," you know that your Easter coat must possess style as well as the best of materials. You wouldn't be happy in the most durable of coats unless it was designed with taste to suit your particular demands. This feature is predominant in Classic Coats.
