Was reading the other day about the "collective" farms they have in certain countries. It seems the folks who run them have plenty of help . . . good hours ... and the best equipment. Sounds pretty nice ? till you learn that the "farmer" doesn't own his land, or even farm it, in our sense. He takes orders from the state; produces what they want, at prices they set. Even his oif-hours are spent according to I state regulations. That wouldn't go here. We're proud of our farms . . . but prouder still of the right to make our own rules. That goes not Just for farm ers, but for every American indus try. Like the brewers' program of Self- Regulation which sees to it that taverns selling beer are de cent, law-abiding places. From where I sit, we've gone a lot further in this country with self-regulation than other nations have with strict controls. Let's never change. ^oe OHmuuI O 1947, UNITED STATES MFWEtS FOUNDATION.

You've heard a lot about the high cost of building . . . but have you personally checked on it? . AH costs are relative, of course. If the farmer, the working man, the grocer, the clothier can buy more house in 1947 by selling less farm products,, less hours of labor, less food, less clothes, than he had to sell in 1940 to build the same house. ... If that is true then the cost of building today is low, not high. Examine the figures below (they're from official sources) and figure it out for yourself! If You're A Farmer . . . Your 1947 house, at 1947 prices, will cost you 88,500 pounds less of top grade hags than the 1940 house, at 1940 prices. Or ? you can buy the 1947 house for 7,400 pounds less of top-grade beef cattle. Or ? 1,732 bushels less of wheat. Or ? 4,466 bushels less of corn. If You're A Working Man . Common labor can work 3,220 less hours than in 1940 to own the 1947 home. Painters can work 2,048 less hours to pay for the 1947 home. Electricians can work 1,218 less hours. Plumbers, 838 less hours. Carpenters, 146 less hours. If You're A Grocer . . . The 1947 house, at 1947 prices, will cost you 2,327 pounds of coffee less than the 1940 house, at 1940 prices. Or ? you can buy the 1947 house tor 4,223 boxes less of soap powder. Or ? 9,717 pounds less of chuck beef roast. Or ? 5,654 dozen eggs less. Or ? 5,548 pounds less of American cheese. If You're A Clothier . . . The 1947 house, at 1947 prices, win cost you 610 less men's shirts than the 1940 house, at 1940 prices. Or ? you can buy the 1947 house for 212 less pairs of men's sfaoes. Or ? 80 men's hats less. Or ? 318 less women's shirtwaist dresses. Or ? 337 less women's spring coats. Those figures are based on the national averages. Compare our local commodity prices with local home prices ? you'll find you get more for your dollar when you put your dollar into a house. Especially, compare the cost of the lumber for the average SIX ROOM HOUSE, with general cost-of-living prices! Amount of lumber necessary to build an average SIX ROOM HOUSE, is approximately 12, 000 board feet, which will not average over $100 per 1,000 board feet, which is cheap when compared to the total cost of the house, which is approximately $6,000. Lumber, comparatively, was cheap months ago . . . and many lumber items sell for less today than they did a few months ago. Figure it out for yourself . . . then come in and let us discuss your building needs with you. FRANKLIN Hardware Company LUMBER DEPARTMENT
