I Too Many People Have Left the Farms and Gone to Town —The Jobbers' Profit Greatly Increases Prices of the Necessaries of Life. ' Editors Reporter : I see a good deal of kte iu the 1 papers in regard to the high price of living. Now I don't j claim to be a prophet or the son : of a prophet but I would like to 1 give you my opinion in regard to , the high prices of the necessaries of living. The first and main cause, as I see it, is that too many people have quit the farms and gone to public works and the cities for one cause or another where they can just eke out a scanty living from hand to mouth, as the saying goes. One other cause is that everything goes through too many hands before it gets to the hands of the consumer, ' each one making a big profit. We have entirely too many job ! bers. A few years back we had ; scarcely any, but look at the dif ference today. Every town of any size is full up and a good I many small places have jobbers, | all sending out their inen in fine ' turnouts with kid gloves on and ; smoking cigars, putting up at \ two-dollar-a-day hotels, shaking | hands with the merchants and ! telling tbem what they should do and should not do. Not one of these meu produce one thing, but I them and their families live in j style and hire servants to wait on them. Now who pays all this big expense. The consumer does. ; Every jobber is supposed to get from ten to fifteen cents on the dollar's worth. Now that would be quite a little sum for the con sumer. For illustratiou we will take a ten pound box of tobacco, cheap grade, it would cost ttiree dollars. Now the jobber gets thirty cents and never sees tbe tobacco. That is the way all through tbe line of everything that the people use. Why not let the merchants do like they used to. If tbey wanted fiour, write to the mill. ' If it is sboes, tobacco, or anything else, write to tbe manufacturer. Some few merchants buy some of their goods direct yet, and save tbe middle msn's profit. If we would return to the old ways, in part anyway, we could cheapen the expense of living to some extent. Now I could go on and enumerate all the necessaries of life that these leaches (the jobbers) are all stuck on to. They are sucking the life blood out of the poor people and every one else, apd it is very unjust for all this lot of people to live off the other peo ple for nothing. The merchants should wake up to their interest and not let this set beat them oat of what is due them and their customers. Some one will say that the manufacturers won't cell direct to the merchants. I know there are some that will not sell direct, but there are plenty who will, and that would eventually force the others to. I hope to Bee the day when the Farmers' Union or something else, will force those leaches out of business. They produce nothing but they live off 4he land. Now, how long will the people stand for this ? ONE OF MANY. Women Must Wake Up to Need Of Better Methods. Few farm women are idlers, and once relieved of the drudgery which a conveniently arranged and equipped house and kitohin kelp to banish, they will at onoe busy their minds and hands with those things which add to the comforts and refinements of the home. Idleness is never desir able, but physical drudgery and and the cultivation of the mind do not usually go together. All advancement must come through study and mind improvement; and right here we want to say with all tbe emphasis possible that the women on tbe farms must themselves first realize that there is tt whole world of scientific knowledge which they can and most know in order to lighten their labors and enable them to' fully meet their God-given re sponsibilities of motherhood and home-making. As yet few of our people have seemed to realize that science (household science) can do as much for our girls as for our boys, in helping them better fulfill their mission in life, and as stated, tbe womeqj themselves must first realhe this >, fact truly and completely bafurt it will b« effectively acted upon,— Raleigh (N. C.) Farmer and Gazette.
