Turner spent Tuesday in Lindsay. “Farmers are accountable for the high cost of living!” That is an old cry in our‘ cities. The average city dweller seems to be under the impres- sion that we farmers are rolling in wealth. The city editors who know nothing about farming .are telling us that we are not producing enough, that did we make our farms live up to one-half their possibilities, 9 food would cost only half what it does now and the cost of living problem would be solved satisfactorily-40 the city The death of Miss Laura Blair 18 years of age, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Blair, of Blairhamp- ton, took place at the Toronto Gen- eral Hospital, on Monday evening, May 13,.

O .0 Cannot this line of reasoning be ap- plied to city industries as well? For instance, the cost of woollen cloth- ing has gone up considerably in rec- ent {ears Is it not, if the first prem- ise is correct, quite reasonable to say that the high cost of woollen cloth- ing is due to the fact that our manuâ€" facturers are not producing as the capacity of their factories would war- rant. In this Ilatter case, our city brethren recognize without any troub- le that the woollen manufactirers are producing Just enough of their goods to make the highest profits. If they produced goods in excessive quantities, tprices would be reduced, profits would go down and the conâ€" cern would have to close its doors. uwxstafiktkazvgszfiszm { 3° We have Ladies’ and :§:Children’s Hose, Ladies!, :3: Misses’ and Children’s Under .2. ware, La dies’ Dressing sacks :3.

Next to Fisher’s Grocery. meen’s Institute Rest Rooms Second Floor MAY 22nd, 1912 rrhe case as it applies to farming is exactly the same. If we farmers as a whole are to produce in sufiicient quantities to satisfy our city friends prices would go down to such a level that our business would be even less profitable than it is now. If city peoâ€" ple want us: to produce more they must pay more for the goods that we produce, for we, like all other class- es of the comminity, have to live and our production of goods is determined by the money we can make out of it. The high cost of living must be ac- counted for in another manner than under production of farm produce. The underlying causes of high prices Farm and Dairy is explaining in the series of articles being run on page 4 each week. Did we farmers and the working men in our cities have a pro- per inderstanding of the economic conditions under which we live we would not be. so bitter towards each other, but would work together to guard our common interests against the attacks of what we may call. the “financial interests." It is at . their doors we must lay the major portion of the blame for the high cost of liv- ingâ€"Farm and Dairy. WARNING AGAINST IMPRUDENT MARRIAGES This warning is timely.

The Great and Eternal One is not to be associa- ted with the degenerates that should not .be linked in wedlock. They are in themselves an evidence of untimely marriages, ;and steps should be taken to prevent the propagation of, the species. The young and the foolish too, should be checked in their way- wardness, and the men to do the checking are the issuers of marriage licenses and the ministers.
