FARMERS' SIDE OF

ft ?
Washington.?The farmers' side of
the high cost of living (fuestion was
presented to the Senate by Seiuttor
Capper, Republican, of Kansas, who
declared that while farmers are sell^
ing their products at a Iosr in dc^
dining markets the consumers are
paying rising prices. Faulty distribution
was blamed largely for this
"remarkable spectacle" and the Senator
urged a number of remedies to
increase production. He deplored the
numerous industrial strikes and the
small Representation given agricul
tu/e in the industrial conference.
"In our efforts to get rid of the
high cost of living disease," said Mr
Capper, "I fear we are in great danger
of 'dying of the remedy. As a result
of Washington's effort to 1 educe
high prices by breaking down entirely
the cost of food, we have the remarkable
spectacle of a rise of 1 per cent
in the cost of living, coincident with
market drops that are putting live
stock raisers out of business and
causing serious losses to other pro.
ducers."
Sell Wheat at a Loss.
Illustrating the anomalous situation
of farmers and consumers, Senator
Capper said farmers are selling
their wheat at a loss, adding, "It
takes four and a half bushels of
wheat to make a barrel of flour. The
wheat raiser gets about $8.37 for the
wheat, the miller $12.70, the baker
$58.70 and the hotelkeeper here in
) Washington, as it is doled out in thin
slices, $587."
The government, through the grain
corporation, Senator Capper said
profited $28,000,000 at the expense of
farmers last year., the farmers selling
from 20 to 70 points less than th<
guaranteed price.
More Deplorable.
"The situation of the live st~cl<
rmcr is even more deplorable," h?
id. "Farmers arc selling theii
uinfed beeves and hogs for lesin
cost to produce them, but the
.sumer finds little or no change ir
i price of meat.
'While everything a farmer must
y demands the high .dollar, the
ice of his commodities, the cheapt
in the. market, are held down by i
#reign embargo and a government
uarantee." Farmers are being diiv.
n out of business and diifting t > th<
.ities because of conditions in the agricultural
industry. Senator Cappei
declared. Farm wages have doubled
lan<i values have risen enormously
and'wverything the farmer buys, h<
sain, lias risen from 50 to 800 pel
cent. ,
Stop Propaganda.
Among the remedies suggested In
' Senator Capper were cessation o
"Federal government propaganch
which tends to bear down the p: ic?:
of farm products. Executive depart
mcnts should seek by every means a
their command to open wider mar
kcts to the farmed by lifting the em
bargo on wheat and wheat flour h
European government and by lower
ing ocean freight rates."
Legislation to free the live stocl
producer of alleged control of the ma
kets by the packers also was urged b;
SeAator Capper, who suggested estal
l&Mments of cooperative farm selling
V agencies.
* "Price-making in necessities o
life," he said, "should never again b
left to the gamblers of the exchange
or to corporate monopoly."

WORKING AND SAVING
WILL REDUCE PRICES
Governor of Federal Reserve Board
Tells Hew Living Expenses May Be
Cut Down.?Why Everything Went
Up.
What iR the host way to reduce the
high cost of living?
"Work and save" is the answer given
by the Federal Reserve Hoard in a
letter written by its governor, W. P.
G. Harding, to the Banking Committee
of the United States senate. The
committee had under consideration the
proposal to reduce the volume of
money in circulation. Governor Harding
opposes this plan, holding that it
will not afford the relief expected.
"The Federal Reserve Board believes"
says Governor Harding in his
letter, "that any currency legislation
at this time is unnecessary and undesirable,
and would suggest that whether
viewed from an economic or flnan- J
clal standpoint, the remedy for the!
present situation is the same, namely,!
to work and to save; to work regularly
and efficiently in oraer to produce
and distribute the largest possible
volume of commodities, and to exercise
reasonable economies in order
that money, goods and services may
I be devoted primarily to the liquidation
of debt and to the satisfaction to
the demand for necessities, rather
than to indulgence In extravagances
, 1 or the gratification of the desire for
, ' luxuries."
, ' During the last two years there has
undoubtedly taken place a certain
' amount of credit expansion, Governor
t : Harding shows, and this in the cir.
cumstances connected with the flnnnc'
! ing of the war was inevitable. But it
1 1 will be corrected as the securities
t I issued by the government, for war
- ) purposes are gradually absorbed by in2!
vostors. This expansion of credit is
. j equal to the difference, Governor
r ) Harding says, between the total war
I expenditures of the government and
' i the total amounts raised by the gov'
eminent through the medium of taxation
and from the sale of its bonds
and other obligations so far as they
were paid for out. of the savings of
the people. He does not believe that
any reliable estimate of this dii'ferf
| enro can be made, but he is positive
x I that, whatever it is, it will he grades
! ually absorbed through future savings
_ 1 for the reason that banks are lending
^ ' and may always be expected to lend
! freely on the government bonds de"
i posited as collateral.
j The principal cause of price ad^
randes just before and during the per-;
iod of the war was the need of the
| governments of the allied nations for
* all kinds of commodities and for imr
mediate delivery in large volume, and
the "competition of this buying by
^ governments with purchases by prir
vate individuals who failed to contract
* their expenditures at a rate commensurate
with the growing expenditures
f of theee governments."
c i One of the features of the post-war
s period, through which the nation Is
t now passing and , which has been
marked by rising prices, is the general
relaxation of war-time practice of
personal economy. This has resulted
?? an increased demand for food and
clothing and other commodities by
many persons who during the war
' practiced a more or less rigid econ3
omy in their personal purchases. Also,
c It must he borne in mind that they
11 or* nnf nnlv hnvinor At mnrVof nricna
t but are buying in competition with
I the export demand. In addition, largeI
ly increased wager? and incomes duri
ing the last five years have developed
i s demand for many commodities which
are not of real necessity. This nat.
urally has diverted labor and raw and
w manufactured materials from csseny
tials to non-essentials, oonir' ;ng no
? small part to the trend of increasing
costs.

Pamphlet Issued by U. S. Treasury
Answers Question "How Can I
Save Money."
As an answer to the question. "How
Can I Save Money?" the Savings Division
of the Treasury Department has
compiled an interesting and helpful
niinillhlnl nnHtlud ' LI/-.... i ~- I
, .( uv ukvuiuu nun UHIVl X C ijfll
Get Ahead."
For individuals and families whose
incomes are less than $5,000 a year
tnis pamphlet offora a number of er.lightenUg
suggestions as to the disbursement
of incomes of various
amounts from $15 a week upward. Not
only does the material furnish a ready
answer to the problem of expanses,
but it affords an authentic source of
Information as to living costs. The
figures were compiled from records of
official government investigations Into
the several subjects and may be regarded
as up to date and accurate.
This material makes possible a
nevr attack in the movement to make
thrift a national characteristic and to
foster the habit of "Save First?Spond
Afterward." It will interest people in
saving more money by showing ;hem
i now niucn other people find It possible
to save and also by showing them how
they can cut down the cost of living
comparing their costs with average
costs at the same income.
The Savings Division suggests that
an excellent way to drive home the
truths of the budget system i? to have
the schedules discussed at school and
taken home hy the children for consideration
by the families. Another
method is to organize a house-to-house
canvass through committees of women
who will bring the budgets tc
the attention of families and secure
their agreement to study their own
situation.
Saving and spending budgets have
been prepared to meet local conditions
at a number of points, and much
interest in the application of the budgets
to the campaign is being manifested
in sections of the country
where the National Thrift Campaign
is being carried out successfully.
LEPERS SET SPLENDID
EXAMPLE IN SAVINGS
Colony of Unfortunates in Farawaj
Hawaii Buys War Savings Stamps
At $62 Per Capita.
Recent reports from Honolulu contain
an interesting and unusual lesson
in thrift which may be considered
a record for the states to attempt.
Sales of War Savings and Thrift
Stamps among the inmates of the Penikese
Island Leper Colony during July
araoanted to f62 per eapita. Altogether
.12 purchasers of these securities
took a total of $1,984 of stamps.
When R is eonsidered that this
amount is far more than the per capita
quota for the ^United States It is
apparent that the optimism of these
lepers, despite their station in life, is
little less than remarkable.
Up to date the total sales of War
Savings and Thrift Stamps in Hawaii
is more than $2,020,000, or more than
"$20,000 in excess of its quota."
The faith that moves mountains is
the faith that gets a steam shovel instead
of an old ho.'!. Labor saving is
what you want. It means money saving,
too, for War Ehvings Stamps.
Spend a little less than you earn?
it's a sure road to success. Put your
savings in War Savings Stamps.

Thrift nelped to win the war. It
will enable us to enjoy the fruits of
j rictoiy also.

With the American Forces in Get*

' { *.
intelligence officer recently put clown
a "revolutionary movement in the

The first the Americans knew of

the "Revolt" was when news reached
army headquarters that in Luetz.
a village of 200 population, a red flag
had been hoisted and was waving in
the breeze at the tip 6f a seventyfoot
pole. When the American officer
arrived in Luetz the "revolution"
conceived by a society itself "Frohsinn"
(Hilarity), and composed of
young men most of whom were discharged
German soldiers, was well
under way and none of the inhabitants
could enter or leave the village
| without passport provided by the
society members.
Luetz, like many German villages
in the hills, has no troops in the
town, the army depending upon an
occasional patrol to keep in touch

The American summoned the G moindevorstehcr,

ol the town, who informed the officer
that this was the third attempt of
the "Prohsinnists" to rule the village
and that the action was directed
against the Catholic priest for whom
the young nun had a pronounced dislike.
The American officer summoned
the executive council of the society,
provided them with pick and shovel
and had them dig up the flag pole,
amid the applause of the conservative
element of the village. He instructed
the burgomaster to withhold

that the American had convinced them
that "revolution" did not pay. The
