'm• saantry l.uuvr the fnliy cf such sentiment. He ha. been Bet ting better returns for his stuff than in the year* before the war, bat the hither costs of cvervthing took the big cud of what he got. Just as now too higher costs have been taking it all. And that ie what ie the matter with the farmer. The high cost of everything that comes his way cruel flea hint. Cotton at ten centa Is sot a bad price if the thing* the farmc, wants to buy are proportionate. The former's price ho* been smashed flat, but the price of the thing* he buys has out been reduced. We are all wrong shipped on the standard of living business and on the curtailing of production. No man ever ! v*d who could tell what standard living moans unless It applies to rurdlr** luxuries, idleness and a flip, pant existence. The men and women who have accomplished things in this life have not spent much time strag gling with the standard of living. One nf ths happiest and moat useful men that, has lived in the last hundred year* was buried the other day on the .readwaters' of the Delaware river up n New York. He had interested man kind and himself in the simplest things that come to human knowledge and that man was John Burroughs, whom simplicity of life seas the per fection of it. He did not worry much about the staadnrd of living, bat he got out of llfi Its fuilaet measure re gardless of the standard, and before men gat the (right' standard of they r * existence, fir ”P*® h working long hours. *n<l gettingJl small financial return for his wore. Hours and prices are comparative Unless the fanner geU prices on what he hoys that are pro portionate to what he gets for what hr sells ho Is likoly to ask for shorter hour* and more recreation after work and when ha doe* that wc will all havo something to think about ir the • armor wmifcd to boy higb-nriccd thing* with low priced products he could not, and that is all there is to mat story. Farm prices are down. Other prices have to come down or the farmer will ho out of the market But he can live at home, which olh rr* can not^ and there is where he has the cinch, and that is what makes him sure of his position. ; HANDICAPS One night I saw a man named Sut ton play Hilliards. He made runs as high as 75 and Accomplished the most intricate “im possible'’ shots. Once he made a billiard with all three balls frmten on the rail—and kept Ms position. ) Remarkable at this U, It wouldn't j be worth recounting except fot one •! point: Sutton has bo hands.

I don't suppose any of us over sea a handicapped man successfully com peting with normal men without giv ing ourselves a mental kick. Pope, the great English satirist, wx* a hopeless invalid, unable to stand erect without the aid of a cruel metal brace. Cervantes, author of Don Quixote, the hook that put ah end to false chivalry, and Charles Lomh, almost without a peer as an ease rut—both lhose men rtaramcred, a dishearten ing handicap. 8ccphao A.
