'Food today should be tin clump, If

That wne thafOfroliirntlon made In
Chicago Tuesday" by Edwin T. More
dlth, tho now secretary of agrlcul
turo, who stylos hlmsolf the advortls
ing inanngor of the department of ng
rlculturo. According to Mr. Moredlth
tho rubo who formerly bought the gold
oncK, or tno guuioio yoKoi who pur
clinsod tho Masonic tomplo for ?47
or paid $15 to seo Marshall Field's
building turn around, woro wlso mon
ns compared with tho general public
today. By Its own complacency and
lack of fighting spirit, the public has
fastened upon Itself 'present outrag
eous pricos and a dollar worth 'only
30 cents. Ton, or oven fivo years ago,
a man hod to bo assured ho was get
ting leathor, stylo and workmanship
when ho paid $5 for a pair of shoes.
Today ho kowtows to some lnaolonl
clerk who throws a :air of varnished
paper shoos at him nnd peels $15 off
his bank roll without a whimper.
Tho samo goos for grocorlcs and
meats and everything else.
Mr. Moredlth says tho blamo for the
high cost of living must bo laid at tho
door of tho distributor and ho has a
trunkfull of figures to iprovo it . To
day there is moro grain, moro leathor,
more beef nnd hog meat, moro wool,
and cotton, yet tho gulllblo Amorlcan
public Is led to bollovo till thoso com
modities are short and thoroforo cost
ly.
Tho now Bocrotnry scoffed at tho
Idee, of a ferncrs' strike. Ho depre
cates such talk as foolish, as farmers
are. not tho sort of citizens who will
strike. All they aftk Is something like
n squaro deal, although they nro not
getting It now.
"Pricos of foodstuffs, shoos, cloth
ing nnd other necessities, in mnny
cases aro 100 por cent higher than
they should bo," ho declared, "but
tho remedy for this condition Is not In
my department. That is a tnnttor for

Why They Are Favored By
Farmers Everywhere
For nearly A 25 years tge3 New
Deere Sulky and GariffJ Plowsl have
been the most widelyiusedCofitHeir
respective types.
Here is the general reason-
Farmers everywhere have con
tinued to find that these plows give
the best and longest f seed . bed
making service.
And here are some specific reasons
1 Their genuine John Deere bottoms,
made of the best material, tempered
perfectly, and shaped exactly right, cut,
turn, scour and pulverize to the best
advantage. And they out-wear any other
bottoms.
j' 2Tr:Their bottoms reach fall depth immedi
ately and stay in the ground at uniform
depth while plowing they make uni
formly deep, roomy seed beds. y ..
changing shares a matter of a few mo-
. ments. They are strongly reinforced
against wear, retain their original shape,
and always fit closely.
4 Their forged steel frogs neither bend nor
break.V Nor do their frames.
5 They pull easily because the wheels
carry the entire load no landside or
furrow bottom friction.
6 They have the simplest and most de
pendable power lift ever placed on a
wheel plow.
The $ unmatched record of these plows
and the reasons why they have maintained
this record are things you can bank on.
