they were driving and before he
was aware of the dangerous char

The car was turned over twice, i

rescue of the unfortunate young
woman.
The injured lady was taken into

the large number of bills relating to
agriculture now before congress was
predicted today by United States Sen
ator William McKinley of Illinois.
"General business is good." said
jtne f.enator speaking before the Uni-
versity of Michigan alumni at lunch
eon. "The steel mills are running
about 85 per cent capacity and the
railroads are having large gross earn
ings, in tnis rejoicing, nowever, we
must not overlook the fact that the
greater part of our community, the
farmers, are not in that prosperous
condition."
The farmer, he said, is handicapped

materially lessened, while operating
expenses are at the maximum. If the
farmer has a large production here
and there also happens to be an over
production abroad, he suffers a great
depression in prices. This is the pro
ducers position this year, whether
we refer to cotton or corn
"In the past five years the varia
tion in the price of finished food
products has not been over 15 per
cent, while the variation in the prices
the farmer has received on wheat and
hogs, the great food staples, has been
about 100 per cent, hogs ranging
from 6 cents per pound to 14 cents
per pound and wheat varying from
$1 a bushel to $2 a bushel.
"There must be a solution to this
great variation in prices of the far
bers products. It is evident that the
consumer does not benefit, and it is
disastrous to the farmer."
