FARM PROFITS
Figures collected from three dif
ferent sets of fnrnis in Ohio, Indiana
and Wisconsin in the past few years
throw light on the questions whether
farmers are making targe profits or
only a bare living, and what the labor
income is. As the report on these
figures says the findings do "not jus-
tify making flat generalizations as
to what the profits of farming are
for the country as a whole, they
should have weight in the considera
tion of the general problem."
For the farms studied the results
show that comparatively few farmers
make large profits; that a consider
able number of them are making but
a bare living, and that most of them
make a labor income of less than
$500 per year, over and above the
things the farm furnishes toward the
family living, which, however, con
stitute an important factor.
It would be desirable to have the
studies extended over larger sections
of the country and, with the necessity
of keeping farm accounts for use in
preparing income tax statements, it
will probably be easier hereafter to
collect figures and make compari
sons. Although generalizations are
not justified, as the report says, it Is
a fair guess that, taking the country
as a whole, and all sorts of farmers
on the average, there wiil be hardly j H
any more favorable figures produced j jj
than those reported above. jj
If the guess Is right the condition j
Is deplorable. Today the farmers of :
the country are facing losses. What ' jj
hopes they had of a good profit on ' jj
last year's business have gone and,jj
while they must take reconstruction ! jj
losses along with every other sort of
business mai.their case is worthy of
special attention and relief.
Agriculture is the basis of all
prosperity. Our farms must be main
tained ,and made attractive.

Anti-Tobacco
Crusaders say their plans are ripe, they've
hitched their wagons to some stars, and soon they'll
take away my pipe, and shut mo off from long
cigars. When I am smoking I am mild, I never
raise a fuss or rant, I am as gentle as a child, and
harmless as my maiden aunt. But when they take
my pipe away I fear I'll train with savage men;
I really am afraid to say what tragedies may hap
pen then. Our lives are full of ugly curves and
what we suffer no one knows; tobacco soothes the
tired man's nerves, and gives his jaded soul repose.
There's peace in forty million homes because Tired
Fathers puff and puff; with wreaths of smoke
around their domes, they know tobacco is the stuff.
They do not care to beat their wives or break the
crockery and chair; for smoking calms their
troubled lives, as it would heal sore heads of bears.
In moral fits, at divers times, I've thrown my trusty
pipe away; then I wrote pessimistic rhymes and
scrapped with neighbors every day. I'd sternly
say, "No stock of pelf will ever make me smoke
again;" and then I'd sit and hate myself, and also
hate my fellow-men.

melons to the side of the stranded

"Friends, the taxes are indeed very heavy, and
if those laid on by the government were the only
ones we had to pay we might more easily dis
charge them ; but we have many others, and much
more grievous to some of us. We are taxed
twice as much by our idleness, three times as
much by our pride, and four times as much by
our folly; and from these taxes the commissioners
cannot ease or deliver us by allowing an abate
