Jackson has announced that at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of March 12 in the Maupin hall there will be a meeting to. discuss different methods of coyote eradication. The coyotes have been causing big losses among the sheep this winter and the losses are usually more severe at lambing time. This subject will be discussed at the meeting and one or more government men will be present to take up methods of poisoning and trapping. The U. S. Bio logical Survey has developed some very cIToctive poitums mid Are you one of the millions who are patiently paying rtnls lhat are from 20 per cent to 50 per cent too high? If you are, do you know the facts? Do you know that Maupin is short 10 homes; that experts estimate the United States to be four years behind in building requirements? The law of supply and demand always fixes prices. So long as there is a home shortage landlords will demand high rents and tenants will be forced to pay them. The om way out is to become a home owner yourself. You can build now cheaper than at any time in the past five years, and almost as cheaply, we believe, as at any time in the next five years. Lumber and building materials have taken a tremcdous drop. The complete cessation of building has caught manufacturers with big stocks which they have been forced to sell almost at cost. If you buy now you tan take advantage of their situation. If you wait yon will buy when everyone else is buying, and you will find the increasing demand forcing prices upward. In our opinion, right now is a good time to build. You owe it to yourself to investigate thoroughly. Call and see us, or a letter or phone call will bring us to you at once.

A few days ago we sent to you a sheet showing price reduction on many of our tools of from 5 to 30 per cent. From some of the factories manufacturing: these goods we received the same reduction that tfe have passed along to vou. but from others we have received no re duction at all. This means that for every one of those tools we sell we are losing money.. Last fall when the farmers were compelled to accent a price reduction on produce thev had to wll, they could not see the jus tice of it but were forced to accept the situation. Believing they were right in their conten tion, we are trying to relieve the situation to them as much as it is possible for us to help. We have reduced the price of moat of our goods to you. We have the factories' promise that if any further reductions occur they will be passed along to us and we, in turn, promise to oasB " thenilongto yqu. Now if vou also promise to pass it along to the fanner, wficre can thev pos sibly stand to lose hi buvinu- Ww such tools as they need for this spring's work? They are fairly" protected and are assured that the goods they buy will be bought at the lowest price pre vailing before Sept. 1, 1921. We also believe that the deal er should put in a conservative stock' of spring samples on this basis. If the farmer sees your samnla fli.nt stunt.. .ml.tMnll.. thinks thafryou believe- rredins tion is' about due and hoi ds off buying in the anticipation that he will buy cheaper a few daya later. We believe also that next fall ill find a great sliortaire of manufactured farm tools. Many factories are now idle or running much reduced force. Thev have but iittle slock on hand or little material and it will take months to get any surplus stock manufactured. We feel sure that if you will carry a fair amount of samples, talk to the farmer that he ii thoroughly protected against price reduction, an we have out lined, that the situation now existing will he greatly relieved. We will help with our share, will you do likewise? Yours very truly, R.
