STILL MAKING WAGONS
+
+ + + + *+ + + + + + + +
Old Dobbin neeel not fear of
running out of wagons to pull,
for although the wagon is be-
ing pushed into the background
by the auto, truck and airplane,
they still make a good manv
in St. Louis plants. Instead of
an output of 30,000 wagons a
year in that city, however,
only 7,000 were turned out last
year. And that's the largest
part by far. of the total turned
out in the United States.
But Old Dobbin will con
sumc lots of oats before all
wagons are put on the junk
heap. Farmers generally have
found that there are some
cases "n which it is more eco-
nomical to use the farm wagon
than an auto truck. Then, too,
the cos* of feeding a horse is
far less than the cost of supply
ing a trucy with gasoline, oil
and repairs Old Dobbin doesn't
have to be refitted every now
and then with spare parts.
St- Louis, claiming to be the
wagon center of the United
States, sends the bulk ofi its
finished product to Arkansas.
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi
Alabama and Kentucky. Yet
the den^and for wagons in ev-
ery state is still felt. Grapevine
residents have noted the rapid
passing of the old side-bar
buggy as a means of transpor
tat'on, and have seen their
number growing smaller every
year. But there may be a dif.
ferfcnt story to tell about the
farm wagon. There seems to
be any number of reasons why
it can not be given up as quick
ly as rural residents could part
with the buggy for the newer
and more comfortable means
of transportation— Grapevine

We Have It
Every Two Years
(Farm & Ranch)
Well, it is all over, except
the confirmation at the No-
vember general e'e01'011, ^c
have had our qsual red-hot
campaigns in the Southwest-
ern States and the follow-up
runoff primaries, and it has
proved expensive entertain-
ment, no matter how you takc
it- If one-half is true of what
has been said of candidates for
office. Texas, Oklahoma, Ar-
kansas and other States have
filled their public offices with
incompetents and crooks. For-
tunately this is not true, but it
is not say'ng much for our po-
litical methods that good cit-
idens must slander and be
slandered in their efforts to
fulfill an ambition to enter
public service.
Texas and Oklahoma have a
Nation-wide reputation for
red-hot campaigns, and
serves no good purpose- Our
primary elect'on campaigns1
are disgraceful and a reflec-
tion upon the intelligence of
our citizens. It brings out the
worst that is in us and creates
a lacM of respect for Govern-
ment and Government offic-
ials. So brazen have been some
of the charges made against
candidates, not only in the
campaign just closed, but in
previous ones, that the genera!
opinion of thousands of our
citizens is to the effect that all
public officials are grafters and
even worse.
We hardly become familiar
with the names of our public
officials before we enter into
another campaign of similar
nature, and again will speakers
mount the platforms all oyer
the country and drag the ill-
smelling carcass of scandal in
front of the nostrils of the peo-
ple. It would be encouraging
if the people resented it, but
on the contrary, a lot of them
like it and call for more- Like
jackals, they crowd around the
platform and howl "Pour it on
'em." The discussion of issues
is of minor importance to the
majority of the crowd- They
would not stay five minutes to
listen to a candidate discuss
questions of importance. What
they want is to see "straw
men" constructed and torn in-
to bits with a savagery becom-
ing an Apache. If this is done,
they return home satisfied. If
it is not, they vote for the oth-
er fellow.
Is it any wonder that we pay
a high price fqr Government
Is it any wonder that the laws
of the Wind mean nothing to
many of our people- Yet, there
are some who would lengthen
the list of elective offices, re-
lieving other officials of re-
sponsibility, and adding to the
confusion we must suffer ev-
ery two years. If we ever have
confidence enough, iti ourselves
to write a new Constitution,
and we doubt we ever will, w_*
hope that the term of office
will be made four years with a
provision that four years must
elapse before any official can
become a candidate for the
same office previously held, or
any other office of equal ini
portance.

One result of every period
of inflation is that it renders
so many young men dis
confined when the inevitable
slump comes and they are no
longer able to get large money
for small work-
Among the unemployed now
are tens of thousands of these
"white-collar men" who never
took their jobs very seriously
They could always get another
so they thought; meantime,
they tried to emulate the rich
and spent their incomes faster
than they received them.
Those men placed a false
value upon themselves and
their services. And many of
them have not yet been dis.
iilusioned. They still think
they arc worth the fat salaries
they used to draw, and most
of thejn will never be happy
again, remembering always the
days of easy money.
The really intelligent office
workers are the ones who have
made themselves so useful to
their employers that they are
the last to be paid off when
times are dull- They have sense
enough to realize that the way
to get ahead is to spend less
than they earn, to plug away
steadily at the day's work, and
l>e content with that. They arc
the ones who have stored up
happiness to tide them over
the dull times. Exchange.
PRICES TODAY AND
600 YEARS AGO
Today, when prices are top
notch, we sigh for the good
old days when a market basket
could be filled for a dollar—
but forget we weren't getting
as much salary or wages in
those days as we are now.
Here is an illustration.
It is from a book called
"The Thirteenth—the Greatest
of all Centuries," and is a
quotation of the prices for
shoes, cloth and provisions,
fixed at that time by royal
decree in England:
Pair of shoes—8c-
Broadcloth, per yard—27c
An ox—$6.00.
A fat unshorn sheep—41c-
A fat two year old hog—83c.
A fat goose—5c.
Ale, pfr gallon—2c.
Wheat, per quarter—83c-
White wine, per gallon—12c.
Red wine, per gallon—8c.
Do these prices br«ng tears
to your eyes?
Then read this schedule of
wages in the same century,
also established by royal de-
cree:
A woman, hay.making or
seeding corn, per day—2c.
A reaper—8c-
Mowing an acre of grass—8e
Threshing a quarter o f
wheat—8c.
A thumb-nail analysis of the
cost of living in the'thirteenth
century in England show;; that
things weren't so verv differ-
