FARMER NOT PROFITEER
Analalt Situation by Dsan of
Washington Stat College
That tht farar receives th lion's
shar ot th coat to tha consumer
and that ha ia a profiteer, la tha be
lief of nan who know compart
Uvly llttla or nothing about farmlni
and what It coats to produce, accord
laf' to E. C Johnson, dean and direc
tor of tha Washington college ot ag
rlcultur. In discussing the agitatloa
to reduce tha high cost of living.
"A brief analysis of the situation
demoatrates tha fallacy of this be
lief," aald Dean Johnson." The wheat
farmer of today, who receives $2.00 a
bushel for his wheat, gets about 17.50
tor tha wheat required to make one
barrel of flour. This flour will make
approximately 300 14-ounce loaves of
bread, selling at about 10 cents a loaf,
or 130.00 a barrel. "Were the price
reduced 1 cent per loaf and the entire
reduction taken frooni the price of
wheat to tha farmer, the consumer
-would bo little benefited and the
farmer would receire at the rate of
$1.35 per bushel for his wheat, which
ia less than the cost of production at
tha present prices of land, labor and
machinery.
Take wool and shoes. "If the pros
ent price of wool to the farmer were
reduced 20c per pound, it would mean
leaa than fl reduction in tha price of
a wool auit retailing at $55 to $100
If tha present price ot hides to the
farmer were cut in two. it would
mean less than 50c reduction in a $12
to $15 pair of shoes, the hide for
which now costs not to exceed be
tween SOc and 90c per pair.
The case of milk. "If the price of
milk, which at present is between 25:
and SOc per gallon to the fanner,
ware reduced one-third it would mean
comparltiTely little to the consumers
of milk, who pay 12c to 15c a quart
but it would mean bankruptcy for the
commercial dairyman under present
prices of hay. feed and labor, and the
only dairying that would survive
would be in the small dairy herd on
tha diversified farm where the herd
la aaed to consume grass, roughage
and feeda not readily salable, and
where the farmer's family doea all the
work, the day being closer to 16
boura than 8 hours and the price
per hour 15c to 30c instead of 50c to
$1. The ultimate result would be a
great ahortage of milk and of necess
ity prices so high in the not distant
future that the average family could
not afford to buy milk or other dairy
products.
"It these facts, well understoood by
the majority of the producera In the
country, also are understood by the
consumera in the towna and cities,
there will be less tendency than at
present to lay undue blame upon the
producer for the high cost of living,
and a greater interest on the part of
every one to insure prices to the
farmer aa will safeguard farm pro
duction, which is the basis of a pros
perous and contented nation.

Persian Dervlshe Demand Alma M a

A feature of Persian life which tll
tratea the almpl and uperstltiu
nature of the peovle of the mldeast la
their tolerance of the dervlshe. These
weird, gypsylike beggar latest the
dtiee and annoy th village folk la
passing from one place to another, ac
cording to their vows ot Itiaeraacy.
These are not the whirling dervlshe
of circus ram. Whirling would bo to
oaergeric a feraa of worship for th
member of this moot aacteat leisure
clsss. Their greatest exertion consist
of walking slowly and blowing a bora
to announce their presence.
The dervish of Persia la kaowa by

which la asaally a atlck driven through

It fact. It aeeusa nnpleassntly ready
for use when Its owner calmly de
mands tribute. It la true that there
la small danger of tta use. even If
alma are refused, but a refusal how
ever polite and apologetlcal, la aure to
arouse the wroth of the dervish. Bla
vocabulary may be unlatelllglble, but
the meaning of bla threat and proph
ecies Is usually understood. Fellow
cltisen of the dervish tribe prefer to
make a gift at any coat In order to
avoid having the wrath of heavea
called down upon them In th masterly
language of an experienced heaven la

the community honored by his pres

reciting prayer, aelllag chanaa aad
even curing th sick by hlewlug his
sacred breath on them all In return
for which he turns over to his chief
after deducting a living wage.
GIVEN NAMES OF PRESIDENTS
Historical Appellation Seetewsd en
Summits of Mountain Range In
Old Vermont,
Heretofore when one snke of the
presidential range everyone every
Kew Knglsnder. at least knew, with
out further partlculsrlalag. that Mount
Washington and Its attendant aummlta
waa the subject, write Allen Chem
berlsla In th Boston Evening Traa
script. Henceforth one must needs be mere
specific, since during the Isst year a
rival presldeotlsl range has appeared
on the map la Vermont. That region,
hitherto generally apoken of aa the
Bread Loaf Mountain section, lying
between Mlddlehury gsp and the IJn-eolo-Warren
pass, was hut little
known, except la It southerly portion,
until the Oreen Mnunteln club men
rsn their Skyline trsll through. They
found there a maae of unnamed aum
mlta grouped aa In council, and seem
ingly worthy of being recogolsed as
Individuate of distinction.
Just north or these heights Is the
rugged mass whose summit have been
known for more than half a century aa
Mounts Abrsham and Lincoln. Quito
naturally the idea of a aew yrealdea
tlal range aroee and, with great parti
san restraint, four of the neighboring
mountains were therefore named
Mount Oraat, Meant Grover Cleve
land. Mount Roosevelt and Mount
Wood row Wilson.
