WAR AND ITS COST.
Cotton is bringing a good price, and
will in all probability go to 18c or 20c
before the season is over, if marketed
properly. There is danger, however,
in farmers planting too much of it next
season, and all farmers, both land own-
era and renters, should stand pat on
raising the living at home. Another
good wheat crop should also be plant-
ed.

*1s the same cry everywhere but its
one of the statements that don’t
hold good.
Chicago dealers say tout cotton
goods have advanced between 25 and
:;0 cents. Woolens have kept pace
with cotton and in the best lines of
women's shoes prices have aim
doubled.
Manufacturers of acotton goods
should be willing to pay a fair price
for the raw Cotton.
Throughout the country merchants
and producers say that the prices of
foods and clothes and material have
advanced alarmingly within the last
year, and that food prices witl be
even higher this winter.
Canned fruits will be 30 per cent
higher and canned vegetables will be
advanced 15 to 20 per cent, according
to wholesale.
Paper bags which a year ago could
be purchased In wholesale lots for
95 ents, now cost $1.55. The ail
vanee is typical of all paper and all
the paper products.
There are American economists
who say that flour will be sold at

ster operated it on his farm in Massa-
chusetts...................

be exhibited are the Guernsey, the
Holstein and the Jersey.
