Little incidents of this kind aren't uncommon. Almost every storekeeper hasI them. Public officials are forever getting tiny suiiu from consciericcrsli-idccik citizens who got away something on their tax bills a or more ago. It happens all the time.

the funny thing is that it's almost always on such picayune little wrongs that conscience docs its most effective work.

WASHINGTON LETTER Farm Board Insists thai erica Meat Packers in New York Practically All Reductions In l(c tall Food Prices Came Out of the Fanner's Hide.

At tho wttom of the wheat price ilepros- lon last October, when wheat Ml he lowest prices in modern his- ory, ii would havfc taken 12,000 ushels lo retire the same mort- age, nml evrn today conditions arc ot very much better. Bui this Isn't the complete pic- ure, for the Federal Fanii' licarrt nslsts llmt practically all the lucllon in retail food prices tliai mvc occurred recently havo 'been nlcen out of tile farmer's hide. Tanners are receiving much less nr live hogs than Is Justified by trices consumers arc paying for inrk products," says C.

II. Denman, i member of the board, ns he quotes irlces on certain day of- last nonth. '1'liese show that prices at New York retnil markets for good grade mfn nverage.1 26 cents a Toimrt, a reduction of 1 cents or 21 cent from t'nc price of the ami; day ono year before; limn, 22 cents a pound, a reduction of 7 1 onts or 25 per cent; sliced "i cent's pound, a. reduction of 3 cents or 22 cent; lard, 13'i cents a pound, a reduction of 3 cents or 18 (jcr cent. In tin; sums week, prices nf live logs in Chicago avenged S4.18 .00 pounds, computed to S1.92 for the corresponding week in 1030, a reduction ot or )v cent.

"With nscncies between the farmer nml (he consumer making little or no reductions in thoir margins lirncllcally all the burden of supplying tlie consumei- with low- priced prodiieli Is carried by the farmers," Danman. iKrccntagc farmers receive nf retail prices of pork products is the Miiallcst on record. Current retail prices warrant considerably higher prices for hogs than farmers are cceiving." AddrcEotng the Institute of Ain- recehtly, Denmaii called upon ihem to narrow the gap between producer and consumer. 'The livestock industry," said Deninan, "Is entitled to reduction in (ho cost'of meat distribution. producers have had to bear the burden of high mer- chandizing costs since, the pre-war period.

During the past two years, when all prices have declined, the fanners have received a decreasing proportion of the prica the consumers pay for meat. Thv cost of processing and me'rchnudlztng a unit of meat has declined very little from the relatively liiif'h levels prevailing before the depression. undue proportion of the burden resulting from reduced consumer purchasing power is he-ing passsd on (o the farmer." A dassic instance was died by I John Simpson of. Oklahoma City, president, of the National Farmers' Union, in his testimony before (he Senaie Agriculture Committee recently. Submitting canceled checks and sales records as evidence, Simpson developed this: VV.

From this there was deiuct- cd $2.55 for insurance, nmt commission. Sheep Raiser Eslcs for his seven sheep, got a check for tile balance, 75 cents, which he gave lo Simpson and which Simpson waved before Hie senate committee. Estimates by tlie Department of Agriculture representative at tlv packing plant, Simpson went on, showed that the consumer would pay for seven sheep, when bnlchcred. $83.10.

On a dining car near Chicago, Simpson ordered two lamb chops for his lunch. His bill was 85 rents 10 ccnis more than Sheep Raiser Eslcs gol for all his seven sheep. "Now- something Is (lie matter."

NOW can advertise it' Products are nearly always put on the market before they are advertised.

Quite frequently, changes have to be made in an article before the public generally will accept it. Color, design, are some of the things the public has to be consulted about. Sometimes a product won't sell all and simply has to be discontinued. As soon as people show that they welcome an article and as soon as all refinements' and improvements have been added, then you could hear the manufacturer say, if you could be in his office, "Now we can advertise." When you buy advertised goods, you may know they have gone through the experimental' stages. You may be sure that the manufacturer knows they.

arc right and that he is willing to stake his reputation on them. You may be confident that you aye buying goods that have sold and that would continue to sell without any advertising at all. For advertising merely lets all of the people considerable numbers would find out by word of mouth ten years from now. Of course, advertising goes a step farther. Word of mouth hardly ever tells all the uses of a product.

It often doesn't give the real reasons for its superiority. Advertising tells people all about a product and the numerous ways in which they can use it. Whatever you buy, therefore, let the advertisements be your guide. When the manufacturer says, "Now we can advertise it," you know that you can safely say, "Now we can buy it.".
