Show THE f C I everything included in the term agriculture. Indications are that this year will surpass all other years in sum total of the golden stream that agriculture pours forth. The second great national asset of new creative wealth is mining, mineral and metal products, including the oil industry. Reports show that they are on a prosperous basis of production. The third source of wealth production is manufacturing in the first stage from raw materials the factory output for 1926 will surpass all previous years. 4 fourth great primary wealth creator is lumbering, logging, paper mill products, and all associated industries connected with products of the forest. Heaped upon this great mountain of new wealth created annually, we must not overlook the salt and fresh water fisheries. The hundreds of millions taken out of this element are next to meats and grains the greatest item of food value. If the hundreds of millions and billions of dollars of new wealth brought into existence annually and added to the existing wealth could be stacked up before the people, together with the increasing accumulations in all banks, the question of the future financial stability of Our Country would be better understood. We would realize that the prosperity of this nation rests on the rock foundation of primary industries which create new wealth anually by supplying the wants of mankind with essential products necessary to maintain life. Our Country has the greatest real basis of security, stability, and continuous prosperity of all the countries in the civilized world. The statistics supplied by the federal Bureau of Labor show unusual prosperity of wage earners for the past three years. The years 1923, 1924 and 1925 have been comparatively quiet and free from strikes and industrial struggles over wages. During 1922 there were 1,612,562 employes engaged in strikes. For the following three years the record was: 1923 had 1,199 labor disputes with 756,084 employes involved; 1924 had 898 strikes with 654,641 employes involved; in 1925 only 428,218 persons participated in labor disputes. Since 1923 there have been more wage increases than decreases positive proof that the period since 1922 has been uniformly prosperous and that means a broader distribution of wealth and a greater prosperity for a larger number. It is essential that every citizen in Our Country should understand some of the primary sources of wealth which make possible steady employment, good wages, and short hours in this nation. Any political party, political group or individual, instrumental in disturbing or crippling productive enterprise destroys employment and steady wages. If the people understand these simple facts the way of the agitator in this country will be more difficult and the road to steady employment and good wages wil become constantly smoother. The future is in our own hands. T e, J i It just goes to show how inextricably our government is coming and how each department, bureau, commission, e c., along a defined course regardless of future complications, as i as duplications, which is all brought about because of the many m cl i necessary and conflicting laws, a majority of which have tl eiron 5 in political circles for no other purpose than to provide jobs for ers and wardheelers. po We might truthfully say that this is a poison age. Wo not in use poison to exterminate wild animals, but we use it on weeds, on fruit and even in our drinking water. Higher plant life is fast disan pearing, birds and animals are seldom seen, and the rush for go f eo appears to be the objective of most of the people, for which they sacii ici fice health, pleasure and everything else. of t onb on r in DESECRATE OUR DEAD Be gu We do not believe that any American would ever think to fa crate a grave and we stand aghast as the news is brought from Frans that the crosses marking the graves of our soldier boys, the savioi of France, if you please, are being inhumanly marked with insuli fcri He io' lit: he! poi ing inscriptions. This government should lose no time in transferring the gran to a peaceful resting place of the dead who were sacrificed in European war of hate, and return the bodies to this country. - It is said that such inscriptions as To Hell with America as terms of a like nature are inscribed. Let us remove our dead from the soil of a nation that appeal to have lost all respect for the dead. fl th In bei Bo Ka mo rid Inc act A New York writer says a certain brand of candy sells inCc ada for 60 cents a pound and in the United States for 80 cents pound and he blames the difference on our sugar tariff. Since pound of candy can hardly contain more than a pound of sugar: most, our sugar tariff must be 20 cents a pound, and we dont ta? it.

E N 4 TOO MUCH ALCOHOL Professor Nichols Knight and Violet Simpson, of Cornell Col- lege, Mt. Vernon, la., report the results of their researches with 12 declare that they find al-samples of bread, bakers and home-madcoholic content varying from .04 to 1.9 per cent alcohol, with the larger quantity present. Now that 1.9 per cent alcohol is greater than is allowed in bev- erages, we are going to ask the police what they are going to do about it. Has the housewife the right to make bread with 1.9 per cent al- cohol, while the soft drink dispenser has not the right to put the same amount in his drinks? Can the law legally allow such discrimination and if we are honest with ourselves and really wish to obey the law, will we dispose of this contaminated bread.
