The ceremony was performed at Babson Says Waste Partially Blame For ‘ High Food Prices tBy ROGER BABSON ~ “ Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 26.—Dur ing the past 24 hours 1 have been ftying over the great farming area of the Central West. I h%ye not only seen things with my eyes, but also heard things with my ears. Let me; first say that farmers are not being, fooled by these high prices. They 1 know that $2.90 for wheat and $2.65 for corn is not going to hold. They remetnber, throughout all U. S. his tory, only during and directly after ■wars, have farmers made much mon ey. Moreover, the wise ones are now using their profits to get out of debt, ! 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon, Sept. . to for ca sh new machinery, and, i 27, at the home of Rev.

Heavy | movements of Tuodstuffs to Europe will continue due to its poor crop- conditions. (2) Poor U. S. Weather Condition^. The American grain harvest will be 15,000,000 tons under normal, due to spring floods and unsatisfactory growing conditions, with a constantly increasing population. (3) Wasteful American Eating Ha bits. Americans have alVays been the most wasteful people in the world when it comes to food consumption. High consumer income has increased this wastefulness. (4) Putting so much grain into liquor. The eight 'billion dollar li quor business consumes huge quanti ties of grain for brewing of alcoholic beverages. Despite starvation abroad, this “non-essential” industry contin ues uninterrupted in the production of liquor. (5) Increase in the currency from $7,000,000,000 to $27,000,000,000. The tremendous increase in currency since before the war has. greatly stimulated the poiver of the Amer ican public to purchase food pro ducts. Waiting for the 1948 Tax Bill _ There is good reason to believe that large amounts of grain are held on.the farm. Thi$ ^s nqt just a case where farmers are gambling that prices will continue to rise above present ^inflated^ levels. ■ Grain far mers. are fully ^ware that there is an excellent chance that personal in come taxes may be reduced in 1948.* The farmer asks himself the ques tion: “Why should I sell grain now and pay an inedme tax on the proceeds September 24.

Present Food Price Investigations There ia much talk in the Read The Chronicle-Your Neighbor Does news- Fred Lowery was 14 years old Papers about distributors and proces |sors of food products taking advan- a i tage of the present squeeze in food j prices and systematically gouging the a ; poor consumer. Quite frankly, I think this is plainly propaganda. The fact is that in most instances the far mers 4 j>ercentage profit margins to day are no greater than normal. What has happened is that, due to a higher dollar volume of business, the nor mal profit margin -produces more dbllor profit#. Hence, don’t blame farmers. • , The real villain in the picture is unprecedented demand for farm pro ducts both at home, where consumer income has never been so high, and from Europe where famine conditions are so prevalent. We are eating more and wasting a greater volume of food, per capita, than ever before. Even a very small reduction ‘ in our consumption of ■food would prevent the serious squeeze on food prices which we now face. It is most desirable to be frugal at this time, not only to assist those who are less fortunate, but to help avoid a drastic deflation as a result of further price rises. Food is the most important item in the average family budget. This is the basic answer to the problem of food prices today. *— September 22. - — • ■ Mrs. W. O. McGee celebrated birthday September 29.

Big- ham, who departed this life one year ago, October 1, 1946.' We are lonely today, dear Daddy, Lonely and sad at' heart. You were a joy .and sunshine. Why is it we had to part? No one knows how we miss you, Miss you more and more each day; Our thoughts are always with you No matter where you stray. Your cheerful smiles and lovely Ways are pleasant to recall. You had a smile for everyone, .. And died* loving all. No one but God knows What happy days we once enjoyed When we were all together. But, oh, how changed 1 it all is now Since you have gone forever. 0 You left us with a shock indeed, We do not know the pain you bore, We only know you passed away ■ Without a chance ’to-say good-bye. Sleep on, our precious one, Till life’s dark days are o’er. Some happy day we will meet you And parting will be no more. —WIFE AND CHILDREN.
