16 to 1 MATCHES
How many of you have cussed out
the sixteen-to-one match—strike six- |
teen to get one light—which has re- |
cently made its appearance in the
American market? With about 59
of its companions it comes in a box
bearing a yellow label with a three-
masted schooner imprinter thereon,
and along the sides reads, “Made in
Sweden.” It is of the safety variety,
and it certainly does mot belie its
name for it is about as safe as a
toothpick. A man pays one cent for
a2 box and jeopardizes his salvation
every time he tries to light his cigar.
Its flame is as fleeting as a Presi-
dential decision, and the Presidential
signature to the present Tariff law |
which reduced the duty on matches
50 per cent is responsible for its
presence in our market. It is a Dem-
ocratic match.—Bath (N. Y.) Courier

: THE FARMER'S SIDE
' Montana Record Herald.
| The price of wheat has been fixed
to protect the consuming public of
{ America and to insure the farmer a
| fair return. As a matter of fact, as
the thing stands it affords greater
| protection to the consumer than it
' gives a fair return to the farmer. If
| conditions were normal $2 for wheat
‘would be a wonderful price. This
| year a short crop, an unusual initial
| expense of planting due to the cost
| of seed and the enlarged area, much
{of which failed to give a return, and
the later high cost of harvesting
makes $2.20 in Chicago a figure on
which some will lose money.
