WORK AND THE WOODSHED
In thinking over the problem s connected with the rearing of
the vonth, older adults rem em ber the period not many years
back w ben plenty of work by all members of the family, sttp-
lim entcd by trips to the woodshed for the youngster who got
out of step solved in a large degree the m odern problem of j u

Even in w ar times, the adult w orks no harrier than the adult
diil in norm al times th irty years ago and the children infinitely
less because they do not have the fam ily responsibility. Leisure
has lessened this responsibility and this coupled with the fact
th a t we have accepted largely new theories on child psychology,
which has done away with the old fashioned ideas of punish
ment. Logically the new ideas were accepted because ap p a re n t

ileal with the problems they created.

TWO THINGS WE LACK
Two questions have been asked frequently. W hy c a n ’t a waste
paper depot he established here and why c a n ’t , “ we make a
s ta rt on a hlixid h a n k ? ’’ A pparently there is a grow ing short-
age of paper and the situation is likely to become critical, hut
until those who plan the various salvage cam paigns find a meth-
od of g athering waste papers in the sm aller com m unities of the
nation, then- isn ’t much we can do about it. From what we are
able to learn of the paper situation there is absolutely no m arket
fo r waste paper here and until some way is found to m ake it
profitable lo r some individuals to handle the paper, which is
usually the ju n k dealers, there is no use in saving paper. In an
earlier cam paign, several hundred pounds of paper was stored
in the arm ory for six or eight months. It stayed there until ar-
rangem ents were made to move it to Eugene.
In the m atte r of establishing a blood hank, it takes sjiecial
equipm ent to handle this type of work. Lots of people would be
w illing to donate to this cause hut do not feel th at they have the
gasoline to drive to the nearest blood hank, which is Eugene and
this hank we are told is for the civilian needs, not those of the
soldiers.
THE CORN SITUATION
How th a t eggs have dropped about tw enty cents per dozen
in the past two weeks, h ere's some interesting highlights taken
Irom a recent issue of the Wall S treet Jo u rn a l on why feed
prices continue to rise at the expettse of livestock: *
“ A buyer in Illinois deliberately overestim ated a erib of
corn, then paid the legal ceiling price, based on this over-esti
m a te ” .
I11 Wisconsin. the newest dodge is to buy corn in the
shock, at. $1.50 per shock, and agree with the farm er that he
may make small shocks, which w on’t shuck out a bushel per
shock ” ,
“ In Iowa, the buyer pays legal price for corn to the farm
er, then pays a large ‘shelling and hauling fee ’ to the farm ers
son” .
‘‘From N ebraska, a story th at the buyer pays ceiling price,
then hands the farm er a neat bonus in cash, on the side.”
But here is the real pay-off: “ At Falls City. N ebraska, the
ceiling price, based on Kansas City, LESS freight. LESS lc is
ibd/^e. At Reserve, Kansas, ju st five miles across the state line,
the ceiling price, based on Kansas t'ity PLUS freight is $1.1 11/^.
The N ebraska farm er takes bis corn to Kansas to sell it. and
m akes I6I4 cents a bushel for the five mile trip . And l h a i ’s
legal.
“ Blit the Falls City farm er c a n ’t buy corn locally. So he
goes to Reserve. Kansas, buys back his neighbor’s corn at
$1.111 2. plus an 8c elevator m arkup, and besides lias a hauling
charge to p a y .”
‘‘ E levators ¡1, Benkleman, N ebraska, can pay farm ers 92c:
at St. r raneis, Kansas, a few miles south, $1.25',2- A sim ilar
situation exists on the Iowa-Missouri b o rd er.”
