I can remember, a local man said yesterday,
whan the wage for common labor was a dollar and
mqpaurter a day. Everything we bought was in
papartion. Today the same worker wants five or
dollars a day and everything is in proportion,
the only gain is that one handles more
than he used to fifty years ago. If the
made during the next fifty
PRODUCTION MAY PREVENT INFLATION
In our opinion the best way to control infla
tion is by unlimited production. It is as natural
as day and night that if there is an. ample supply
of goods the tendency will be for a lower price. If
on the other hand there is a scarcity of goods the
tendency will be for buyers to bid for the goods
and create higher prices. This being true the ac-
tion of our economists in adopting the opposite
tactics are not altogether effective. They tend
to defeat their own purpose. By refusing to per-
mit price rises, production is being reduced by
manufacturers who do not care to sell at a loss.
The result is scarcity and spirited bidding in the
matter of purchases. How about trying the other
plan? How about increasing prices enough to en-
courage full production. Once purchasers discov-
er there is ample merchandise for their needs on
merchants shelves the eager rush to buy will sub-
side, demand will drop off and prices will gravi-
tate to a normal level. Nothing contributes to
higher price tendencies more than an atmosphere
of scarcity, either real or imagined.

Our daily, the other day, contained an editor-
ial deploring the suggestion that had been made
that the farmers strike whenever they did not re-
ceive what they felt was an adequate price for
their grain and livestock. We are glad that the
farmers are independent and are not herded like
sheep and toled when to work and when not to
work by high salaried bosses, but when you come
down to it why hasn’t the farmer as much right
to strike and demand more money as any other
group in the country?
I was talking- the other day with
representative 0f one Of the largest
merchandising organizations in 'this
country with retail outlets in every
state in the Union.
We prefer to employ farm boys in
our store, he said, rather than city
boys or boys from the towns.
I asked him why his organisation
had adopted this policy.'
We prefer to employ boys from the
farm, he said, because they are taught
to work. Early in life they are given
responsibilities, certain tasks to do.
They learn early in life that being re-
sponsible for a task means that it
shall be done every day at a given
time. Not-qnly that it must be well
done. The training that farm boys
receive by assuming these responsi-
bilities and doing a given Job at a
given time every day makes of them,
early in life, dependable, responsible
workers. They regard a task as a
responsibility which they are obliged
to meet and discharge fullyand faith-
fully.

In Kansas City, Mo., last week a manufactur-
er was fined $10,000 and sentenced to a year in
jail for employing a young person 16 years old in
his plant. It is the law but it occurs to us that it
would be a lot smarter economics to give these 16
year old people useful and light employment than
it would to force them into idleness to become de-
linquent problems for the community. These
young people 16 years old would rather work and
keep their minds and hands busy than live in en-
forced idleness depending for their spending
money upon their parents, often unable to give

The story is being circulated that one of the
leaaons for the scarcity of nylons is that many of
them are being shipped to countries where there

huger profit than can be secured in this country.

As we get it the result of all the meetings
and conferences that have been called to study the
matter of housing shortage has been to discover
that at the present time the problem seems to be
that there isn’t enough houses and there also ex-
ists a lack of materials out of which to build more.

at Fairfield, Texas, under Act of March 6, 1876.
A survey shows that in. ten states the prices
of farm land have advanced above the boom neak
of 1920. With the lesson of the boom prices of
the twenties still fresh in the minds of most peo-
ple there is no need for any one to be caught in
the present upsurge as were many in the twenties.

Another thing we have found is
that the term boy has a different
attitude toward his job. It is not a
thing to be regarded lightly, some-
thing that may be done in a careless
slipshod way if the boss isn’t near
to check up. We have found that
farm boys are habitually and con-
sistently thorough. They accept re-
sponsibility willingly and cheerfully
and in most instances rise to meet it.
They have confidence in themselves
and an air of self-reliance about them
that causes an employer to feel that
any task assigned to them will be well
done, and insrtuctions will be carried
out to the letter. I attribute this to
the fact, he said, that the boys on the
farm are- taught to work. It is one
of the first things they learn. They
are also taught to accept responsi-
bility and to discharge it faithfully
and well. They are concerned that
what they do is done well.

The reason the automobile accident
death toll is so high in the United
States is due to carelessness of the
individual. Every car driver should
see to it that he does his share to-
ward reducing accidents by exercis-

The farm boy is assigned at fia/t
small duties on the farm, duties that
must be done each day at a given
time. They cannot be slightled or
overlooked. As he grows older he is
given heavier work and more responsi-
bility. In time reaches the point
where he is given a team or a tractor
and is sent out to cultivate a field. He
rises to the responsibility and over-
night becomes a man. He quickly de-
velops a liking for his work, and a
pride in seeing it well done.
I realize that parents of children
in the city and towns have a difficult
problem. There isn’t a continuous
program of work and responsibility
that may be assigned to a growing
boy that includes a definite task that
must be done at a definite time each
day. The result is that the town boy
and the city boy are denied the most
valuable training a boy can have, the
knowledge of how to work and how to
meet new responsibilities and new
tasks. The town boy has too much
idle time. He has no design for liv-
ing that fills his spare time and holds
his interest in a continuous program.

I believe it would be a splendid
training if every boy could spend the
summer vacation on a farm. I realize
it would not be easy to send a young
boy away from home for the summer
months, but I feel the benefits that
would come from it in the matter
of good health, regular hours, and
the habits of industry would be well
worth the sacrifice of having one’s
young son spend his summer vaca-
tion away from his own home.
