FARMERS MUST FIGHT FOR FAIR PRICES. There is niueli complaint rela tive to the high cost of living in towns and cities. AN age earners and salaried men complain of the high cost of living while they live high and insist upon an income which will enable them to support their families in idleness. These town and city men work eight hours a day for five and a halt <hivs in the week and complain ot Ihe high price <>t iarm products hy the farmer and his family working about twelve hours per day. The farmer and his family toil long hours and know little ot the com forts and conveniences enjoyed by the town and city mans iamily, and seldom complain. The world seems to begrudge the farmer a decent living, lie sells for 35 cents a pound of cotton which is manufactured into cotton goods that sells for +5 or more, lie gets about $7.50 for the wheat which goes into a barrel ot flour 1 hilt retails for about S3O when made into loav es ot bread. r I he lo ering of the price of cotton and wheat and other larm products will have very little effect upon the retail price of the finished product to the consumer, as the cost of the raw material is usually a small item in the final cost of 1 lie things we buy. However, price or no price, there is no reason why the farmer and his family should toil long hours to grow food for idle town and city families. The farm woman cans, sews and washes for all the family, and besides raises chick ens. milks the cows and cultivates the garden. Farm children go to school from four to six or seven months in the year, work around the home during the nights and mornings and for long hours ev ery day during the long summer days. The town and city women refuse to move out into the sub urbs ami attend to gardens, chick ens, cows fruit trees and so on. The town children go to school United States Tires Most Economical Wear—life —service —mile- age —safety—comfort. These are the things that count in a tire.

This greater tmal of tire nine months in the year and do nothing during the mornings and evenings and the three vacation months.
