or farmer cannot set the prices on
his pr^luce as does the clother, the
grocer and the venders of every dis­
cription. As Mr. Kimball says, the
consumer when he goes to the city to
buy he is compelled to pay according
to the cost of doing business in the
city. The investment, clerk hire, in­
surance, taxes, freight, losses, etc.,
all are charged up to the consumer
and he can get it because we are
obliged to buy. But on the other
hand can the farmer get an extra
quarter on a bushel of wheat or a
pound of butter when his taxes are
inci eased, or the price of labor is
higher? When Mother Nature has
failed to do her part and drouth has
ruined his pasture and he has to re­
sort to the high priced alfalfa and
mill feed, does the price of his com­
modity come up? I guess not! When
we pay $40 for a 325 suit of clothes,
or your wife pays $11.97 for a hat
that could easily be sold for $4.00 you
are reminded that rent and taxes are
way up, their overhead big and the
price of buttons and feathers and
ribbons are exorbitant. Did you ever
see an old weather beaten, horny
handed farmer come in to town with
a dozen sacks of spuds or a few rolls
of butter and demand an unusual
price because the cost of seed or labor
was high, or weather conditions were
not favorable? Oh no. Please get
it off your mind. If you receive 30
cents for a calf skin and pay $12 for
a pair of shoes you must remember
that it costs big money to manufac-
