HE MICHIGAN delegation of bean men

hhave returned from Washington, well
content with the results of their journey, and
satisfied that the arguments presented will
“move the Ways and Means Committee to an
early recommendation of a special tariff bill.
In fact, Congressman Fordney practically as-
sured the delegation it could expect the com-

, _ mittee to take this action, but in conjunction

with Rep. Hawley of Oregon, reminded the del-
egation that the committee could only recom-
- mend and that it was the business of Congress
to enact. It was rumored that Senator Pen-
rose, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Senate
finance committee, has openly denounced spec-
ial tariff bills and made the boast that no more
special tariff measures would get by his com-
In view of the fact, however, that the
senator has let at least two other special tariff
bills get through his committee this session,
there is reason to hope that he will look kindly
upon the bean tariff when fully informed of its
urgent nature. _

In addition to the dislike of Congress for
special tariff measures, the bean tariff bill will
also have to run the gauntlet of the free- trade
Democrats and the president. Free- trade Dem-
Ocrats are becoming mighty scarce, hoWev‘er.
Congressman Garner, of Texas, is a Democrat,
but he believes 1n protection. At least he said

he did. He told the delegation of bean men --

that he was in sympathy with their efforts to
‘protectthe industry but wanted to be convinc-
ed that the amount of tariff asked was not ex-
cessive. Congressman Kitehin, formerly Dem-
oeratic leader of the House, asked a few ques—

. tions but did not seem greatly opposed to the

measure. Interrogation of the bean men from
the Democratic side was mostly confined to
these two gentlemen. Nevertheless, it is al—
most certain that some opposition will develop
when the bill gets before Congress, and it be-

 

hooves every bean grower to stand by the guns
and help.

Tariff of $4 Per Cent. Asked

It was stated in the October 4th issue that
the California bean men would ask for a $5

What of the Immediate Future?

F PRIRIE interest to the Michigan
0 bean grower right now is the ques-
tion, “What is to be the condition of
the bean market the next few months?”
Were a protective tarifl’ already in opera-
tion that question would be easy to answer.
But with the tarifl' at least two months off,
it is not easy to comprehend what is going
to happen in the immediate future. “'6
know this to be a fact, however. Immedi-
ately following the announcement that a
tariff would be sought on Jap beans, the
bean market strengthened very noticeably
and as we go to press there is good demand
and rather brisk trade. It is possible that
the practical certainty of the tariff matter
going through has given buyers confidence,
and that the market will continue strong
throughout the season. But there is an-
other element that must not be lost sight
of and may be responsible for lower
prices within the next sixty days. If the
Jap speculators have contracted for large
quantities of Manchurian beans for export
'to the United States, we may reasonably
expect that there will be a flood of Jap
beans to this market before the tariff bill
becomes a law. Japan may realize that
‘ this will be her last opportunity to com-
pete with American beans and “hog” the
market" for the next sixty or ninety days.
“’e have no positive information that this
will be the case, but it is a contingency
that it is well to keep in mind.

ures it was found that $4 per cwt. would be
sufficient to offset the difference between the
costs of production in the orient and this coun-
try. One or two visiting bean jobbers were of

the opinion that the $4 figure was too high,
but they were soon convinced that a less ‘tarifl‘
than that Would not afford the necessary pro-
tection.

It was asse1ted by Aaron Sapiro, attorney
for the California Bean Growers’ Ass’ 11., and
his statements were borne out by the U. S. con-
sular service in the U. S. Commerce Reports,
as well as by Jap statcnwnts, that Jap specu-
lators had purchased Manchurian beans and
laid them down in Japan for $1.72 per cwt. and
that these same beans were sold in the United
States at $5.75 per cwt., a difference of almost
exactly $4 per cwt. in 1910. 305, 531 bushels
of Japanese b1a11s wmc imported into , this
country; 1 (i? 1.1 139 in 1017 322,083 bushels
in 1918, and the rate per month is even higher
so far in 1919. E1’1co11rz1gcd by high prices of
beans and the easy access to U. S. ports the
production of small white beans in the orient
has increased over 1000 pm cent in the last
three years so that Japan is in a fan way of
being able to supply all the beans America
needs if Congress wants her to.

As a result of the Jap competition bean
acreages in this country have rapidly decreas-
ed. New York’s 1919 acreage was but 54 per
cent of the 1918 acreage; California’s but 69
per cent and Michigan ’s but 65 per cent. This
clearly shows that the majority of domestic
producers have been losing money.

Jap Cost of Production

Figures showing cost of production varied
somewhat in the three states represented. Cal—
ifornia showed a production cost of 7 cents per ‘
pound. The New York extension department:3
thru its office of farm management, announce
a cost of $55 per acre for the year 1918. The
reports submitted by Business Farming as
compiled by its readers varied from $38 to $55
per acre, with an average of $42 per acre. This
does not include, however, hoeing of beans

“While we have done a very large

“We want to conduct our business

net farmers better results than if
their product was handled in the
usual co-operative method. We
would like to have a good reliable
representative in every town in Mich-
igan. where enough cream will justify
such a station. Twenty or more pat-
rons will be sufficient to place the
necessary equipment to conduct a
cash station in a community, espec-
ially where the prospects are fair to
develop to greater extent.

“We will figure with any individ-
ual who wishes to look into our prop-
osition or we will deal with co-op-
erative selling associations, or we
will buy cream shipped direct to us.
For some reason a large per cent of
the producers prefer to sell to a cash

» station, where they can see the cream

weighed, sampled and tested, and are
able to see their cream handled, get
the money for same, and return of
their empty can at time of delivery.
It is a fact however, that if able to
ship in lots of eight to ten gallons, it
will net more money to ship direct.
In shipping direct, we will absolutely
guarantee against any loss in every
ordinary deal. We also expect to
have much better railroad service

Hoosier Farmers Active

Members of the Blackford County
Farmers association attended a ban-
quet at the Hartford, Ind.. hotel. Mr.
Hickman. vice president of the State
Farmers' association, gave a report
on the work accomplished by the
State Federation of Farmers.

Mr. Hickman acted as toastmaster
and made a short address at the con-
clusion of the banquet. Every mem-
ber of the local farmers' association
present also made short pointed talks
encouraging the formation of a
county farmers' organization.

Fifty-four counties of the state
have now become federated with the
State Federation of Farmers, W. H.
Hickman, vice president of the or-
ganization stated. Other counties in
the state are now forming and will
soon become federated with the state
body, he stated.

 

Great Grape finned;

The grape harvest in. Berrien, Van
Enron and Kalamazoo counties this
year was enormous. The total produc—
tion in the three counties is placed at
52, 500 tons. Van Buren and Berrien
counties supplied the bulk of this
total. It is estimated the total grape
crop for the three counties brought
the producers more than $4,000,000.

Throughout the grape season the
market was generally firm. .There
was a big demand for grapes this
year, and the demand, coupled with
the big crop. brought good prices.

Great difficulty was experienced by
many growers in obtaining suflcient
baskets at the right time and in in-
stances where a wait was necessary
comidersble loss was suffered because
the grapes rotted on the vines.

Derrien countys grape crop was
all exported. Berrlon grapes have
gone to every section of the United

States in iced cars and to the great'

South Water street market in Ohi-
cago by boat. Kalamssoo and Van
Buren grapes were mostly sold to
the big grape Juice factories center-
ing in Lawton.

While rabbit growing has just
started in this county. it is wonder-
ful how rapidly it is spreading and
it will be a long time before the
present demand for rabbits is met. It

Oaklanders Organize

At a meeting of Oaklandfarmere
and several state and county farm
work experts, final plans for the or-
ganization of a community buying
and selling association were adopted.

0. C. Raviler, state organiser of
community market projects was pres-
ent and gave suggestions and B. A.
Holden engaged in similar market
work at Wlxom. also spoke.

It is expected that the Leonard or-
ganization will take nearly the same
form as that at Goodison. The Good-
ison branch of the. Oakland County
Farm bureau has taken over the buy-
ing and selling of produce for farm-
ers in its vicinity, has acted as cent-
ral purchasing agent for fertilizers
and the like, and is now negotiating
with a large im lament company to
obtain farm m ery at cost.

A repruentative of the Dun finan-
cial agency who recently visitnd
Goodison gave the organisation an
exceptionally high rating because of

 

the large number of leading farm-

ers directing the project.

Europe Farmers Get Back on Foot
Crop prospects in eastern Euro ‘ e
are much better than previous o
ciel reports and unnuthentic rum-
ors have indicated, according to a
representative of the United States
Department of Agriculture whose ob-
servations were taken into account
in the department‘s resent sugges-

tions for fall plantings in America;

This representative, under detail to
the United states Grain Corporation,
made extensive firstphand investiga-
tions in Europe. One of his reports
was that the territory included before
the war in Hungary. Bulgaria and
Roumania probably will export at
least 1,050,000 tons of bread grains
from current crops compared to 8,-
900 000 tons in average pro-war
years.

So far as its production of breed
grains is concerned Bulgaria is
practically on a pro-war basis and
Hungary almost so, but Roumania is
still far from complete recovery. The
most optimistic claims of Roumania
for export this year at 500,000 tone
as against. 1,700,000 tons of pre-war
years. In the wheat producing re—
gion of southern Hun ry the aver-
age planted this year s fully 90 per
cent of the normal pro-war acreage.
In that part of'Roumania occupied by
the armies of the Central Powe
considerable land was not cultivate
this year. while that which was de-
voted to crops was found in rather
poor condition. This came about be-

cause the Teutonic armies ravaged-

the country of much of the work
stock and wicultural implements.
However, dent-to this Roumania will
be more than self-supporting, and as
the maize crop is improving on ac-
count of cen‘tions during the sum-

tion. ‘

friend of Mr. Kutner and had had

tions with him. <
During the year following this
date, the Grain Corporation and the
' Food Administration purchased over
1,250,000 bags of oriental beans
(over 125,000,000 pounds) from
various dealers including the follow-

It is interesting to note that two
of the above firms are Japanese. It
is also significant that the orders to
Kutner comprised over one-half of
the total and that these orders were
practicaliyaii issued thru the Food
Administration directly instead of
thrn the usual procedure of the Grain
Corporation. It was also noted that
in many instances the orders to Kut—
nor were open orders. without time
limits. This enabled Kntner to have
a few weeks within which to sell
down a market or to find beans at
the price which would net "him a
profit under the government order.
Failing this, he would refuse the or-
der. In one instance, he took an or-
der for 100,000 bags of beans when
he had only 20,000 bags under con-
tract. He apparently found that he
could not till the order at the origin—
al price. He, therefore. secured thru
Kimball, a cancellation of the bal-
ance of the. o‘rder‘on the ground of a
“mutilated telegram." There' after
he got a new order forms 80,000
bags at a half a cent a pound high-
er. There was no evidence to sus-
tain the theory of a "mutilated tele-
mm." .

During the sum‘mer of 1918, Kim-
ball visited the Pacific coast and in—
cidentally borrowed $40,000 from
Hr. Kutner. Some inadequate se-
curity is supposed to have passed.
There is no need to emphasize the
lack of discretion in this transaction,
if nothing worse. During the same
year, Mr. Guts states that Mr. Knt—
her clued to lend him some money
to help set him up in business.

In explanation at the so-celled
open orders, Kutner said that he

At the original conference in
March, 1918, orientalebeans may have
been preferred because of the than
high price or domestic beans. At that
date. however, all of the California
crop of 1917 was in the hands of the
dealers, or of a few large growers. As
a whole the growers were out of the
market. The 1918 crop of beans was
the first crop handled by *he Cali-
fornia Bean Growers' Ass’n. This
crop was not harvested until August,
September and October of 1918.
Whatever justification may have ex-
isted for some of the early orders for
oriental beans, certainly ceased to ex-
ist in the summer of 1918. At that
time the California growers were

CHAS. B. SOU-LLY CANDIDATE
FOR LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR

We take pleasure in announcing
the candidacy of- Senator Charles
B. Scully of Almont. Michigan, for
lieutenanbgovernor. We do not know
whether Mr. Scully will make a bet-
ter lieutenantgovernor than either of
the two gentlemen who are after the
job. His principal recommendation
in our sight is that he is a farmer
and has the farmer’s viewpoint. He
has just completed his second term
in the Michigan Senate and his rec-
ord will, we think, stand the scrutiny
of the farmers of the state. Mr.-Scul-
ly has not ALWAYS been right. We
haVe found it necessary to differ with
him‘ on some points but nevertheless
we are satisfied that he is a man
whom the farmers can safely and
proudly support.

Mr. Scully was born on the same
farm near Almont. Lapeer county.
where he now resides and makes his
principal living. He specializes in
pure-breds. That’s good recommend-
ation in itself. He is 41 years of age
and ever since he learned the alpha-
bet he has been talking about farm-
ers to farmers, and knows his subject
pretty thoroughly. He has spoken
frequently at Grange and Gleaner
gatherings, and was formerly presi-
dent of the State Association of Farm-
ers' Clubs. He took a. prominent part
in the recent campaign for good
roads, ‘

At the beginning of his second term
in the Senate he was elected presi-
dent pro tem, and in that capacity
when occasion permitted filled the
position which he now seeks with
grace and dignity. He also served on
several important committees. He
was chairman of the insurance com-
mittee during both terns: in the Sen-
ate. and a member of the taxation.
elections and industrial schools com-"
mittces. He has been 3' consistent

 

_ and frequently an active worker 'in

legislative matters for
rights. . ' ,,
“My policy." says Mr. Scully. “will

be a square deal to all."

pr two “bees." The leaders of the
work have had the project in mind
for year's back. The first news of
the work came to Michigan Business
Farming early in the summer, when
crop reporters, in the neighborhood
of the famous Torch Lake and Grand
Traverse and Kalkask-a. districts,
sent in enthusiastic accounts.

N. T. Velliquette. proprietor of the
Busy Gleaner Farm, near Kewadin,
writes that Fred Powell, vice—presi—
dent of the Elk Rapids Co—operative
Marketing Association, has been the
leading spirit in the work, although
the whole association acted with one
accord in getting the work done
quickly and efficiently. The push
and hustle of Mr. Powell and his
brother officers were merely typical
of the spirit of the whole affair.

Some time back the association of
Elk Rapids bought the big building,
which, we are told, had been used at
one time in balmy pre—war days for
a novelty factory. Although financ-
ing this purchase was hard to begin
with, it was as nothing compared
with the labor necessary to get the
structure into shape suitable for bus-
iness. A picture has been sent to us.
showing scores of farmers thronged
about the warehouse just as the last
of 1,500 loads of sand were being
drawn in to fill the floor of the main
building to a height of three feet
above its old level, so as to build a
cement floor on a level sufllciently
safe from overflow of the river. This
is just one of the items which shows
how scientifically the association
went at the work. The illustration

 

[TH LIVE STOCK and its pro-
ducts on a higher plane of
values than in previous years,

there has come to stockmen and
farmers a keener realization of the
need to stamp our animal diseases.
This important development in live—
stock raising was shown repeatedly
at the conference which assembled
in Chicago, October 6 to 8. to discuss
. tuberculosis eradication. Michigan
, herds have been quite free from the
white plague, but cases have just
been found among Michigan herds
which were totally unsuspected. Thus
, the conference was of great interest
to Michigan owners of stock.
Whereas in the past the unwilling-
. ness of cattle owners to have their
herds tested in order to locate the
disease has been a limiting factor in
the work, now there are waiting lists,
fund the problem confronting state
' and federal officials is to meet the de-
‘ 'mands. Coupled with that problem

Financ " Plan Submitted-x - -'

The associa ion at Elk Rapids is
so enthusiastic about the work that
they want other-faltering associations
to benefit. if possible, by the success-
ful experience 01 he brothers in , An-
trim county. Accordingly Elk Rap-
ids people have submitted their fin-
ancing plan to Michigan Business
Farming in hope that it might be of
service to others. New co—operative
buying and selling associations of
various sorts are growing up almost
centinually throughout Michigan
these days, and one of the main
breakers in the course in which they
must steer is that of finance.

It should also be admitted in all
frankness that it is no soft snap to
start and keep a co-operative associ-
ation going. It is a man’s size job
for every member of such an associ-
ation and needs steady, hard, brainy
work. Because of lack of interest or

'chants, while the merchants buy .at
wholesale. The farmer sells cheap-
ly at wholesale, while the merchant
puts a dear price on his goods. It'is
hard for farmers to keep up the pace
'in that sort of game.

The Elk Rapids plan, which the
members believe to be the best, is
something like this. The building
when completed will cost between
$10,000 and $12,000. Of this amount
$6,000 has been pledged by members
to be loaned to the association. The
association, in borrowing this mon-
ey, gives its note to each member

ten yearsrwith interest at five per

Cloud With a- Silver Lining

“Antrim County farmers are busy
doing a little of everything these
days. cutting clover seed, plowing,
etc. Weather is variable with lots
of 'rain—-too muchfor potatoes on the
lawlands. There is a large number
of auctions billed. Some already;
held. Stock not selling very high.
Many farmers dissatisfied with their
business. Too much hard work and
too little profits.” - .

That feeling, we understand, ap-
plies to many of the northern farm-
.ers this fall. There has been trouble
this year in getting the capital need-
ed to develop the North. Crops have
not been so good and prices low. ‘It
is the life of the pioneer with many
discouragements, in many parts of
Northern Michigan, although it is
also a land with boundless opportun-
ities.

Despite discouragements and
gloom, the Antrim farmers have
bobbed. up before the agricultural
public of the state with the splendid
co-operative marketing stunt to their
credit. Thus we feel that when one
knows of the fight these Northern
farmers had to wage and still have
to carry on, he can hardly help but
feel a real tribute to them.

The President Gains

HERE is a marked change in the atti-
= tude of Americans toward their presi-
dent since the day he returned from the west,
broken in health and weary in spirit. Nowhere
pérhaps, is this change more noticeable than in
Washington. A few months ago sentiment ran
strong against the president, in the Capitol
city and the political tirades against him in
the Senate naturally did not help to soften the
feeling. But the tension has relaxed. People
now pass the White House in a more reverent-
ial mood and look with more or less misty eyes
toward the wing of the great structure where
‘ - the president is thought to be confined, slowly
recovering from his illness, and throngs of cit-
izens anxiously watch the bulletins that are
flashed at frequent periods from one of the
newspaper offices giving official information as
to his progress.

The first important legislative development
that has taken place since the president he-
came confined to his bed, and one that is con-
strued as marking a reversal of sentiment, is
the action of the Senate in voting down the
Lodge Shantung amendment to the Peace
treaty. The fight in the Senate over this sec-
tion of the treaty has been very bitter and two
days before the vote was taken, well-informed
congressmen were saying that the Lodge
amendment would be carried. It would be im-
possible to say which influence should receive
the most credit for the defeat of this amend-
ment, 3. change of conviction on the part of
supposed supporters or a feeling of sympathy
toward the president. It is clear that many
senators were not thoroughly satisfied that the
Shantung section should be amended and that
it did not require much influence to line them
up behind the president particularly after he
became unable to longer defend his position
on that matter.

The illness of. a president at any time is a
serious matter. But the illness of President
Wilson at this particular time is peculiarly un-

' i'ea'tunate, for it is certain to have an overshad-
owing influence upon the great issues which
are now being disguised in Congress. In spite
of the mistakes the president has made and his
r'npopularity in certain quarters, it is very ev-
ident that he holds a strong hand over the na-
rion. He has demonstrated his rights to lead-

' arship and all but a reactionary few have con-

‘ "'«°cded him leadership. His powerful utterances

,.,.and his determined stand for what he thought

was right have left a deep impress upon the
country and though his lips are for the time

Ming (silenced, the people still unconsciously

Words—alien Words
NGRAVED across the frent of the mag-
' niflcent, Union depot in» thevcity of “Wash-
ington are t hese words, “The Farm—~best
home of the family,—-main source of’national

wealth,——foundation of civilized society,—#-the
natural Providence.” Similar tributes to the

- farm and farmer may be found inscribed in
' other places in the beautiful public buildings.

and scarcely a day passes by that some Speecha
making congressman or senator does not pay
flowery homage to the men of the soil. In fact,
no public man is considered to have quite done
his duty who has not at some time or other in
his career acknowledged the farm as the “bul-
wark of civilization” and made some flattering
references "to the “horny-handed disciple of
the plow.” We dare say that there is no great
man, living or dead, who has not left some
printed evidence that ht; was one of the “best
friends the farmers ever had.” But strange as
it may seem, these “friends” have lived and
passed on, and except for the printed record
of their occasional remarks, no one would sus-
pect that they ever gave a single thought to

'the farmer. The status of the farmer is prac-

tically the same today as it was fifty years ago,
and well-meani orators are still proclaiming
in the same fas‘h on as a half century ago, that
“the farmer's rights must be protected.”

The words we have heard uttered upon this
subject are fair enough,—too fair. By constant
repetition and emphasis they rather lead us to
suspect a lack of sincerity. A good word well
spoken gives encouragement. But promises
that remain forever promises and are never

translated into action destroy confidence. The

farmer has listened long and patiently to the
fine words of the statesmen and politicians.
Now he wants action. And the time is not far
distant when these “friends” will be put to
the test and the sincerity of their words sound-
ed to the depth. ,

If the farmer occupies the place of import-
ance in the economic stratum that nearly
everyone admits, it is high time that he be ac-
corded recognition in some other manner than
by more words. It is no longer enough to say,
“The‘farmer is the cerner-stone of the na-
tion’s prosperity,” and let it go at that- 'His
counsel must be sought; his interests protect-
ed; his business encouraged and assisted. No
great national polciy should be determined
without consulting him. He should be acced-
ed leadership and his opinions should be care-
fully weighed .

The farmer is slowly coming into his own in
these respects but little of the credit belongs to
those who pose as his friends. He is rising to
a new plane of dignity and power by the force
of his own efforts. He is being heard because
he demands to be heard and not because those
who hold superior positions desire him to be
heard. Ten years from now no great leader or
no great party or power will wish ‘or dare to
follow a line of action that does not take com-

‘plete account of the farmer’s welfare.

Where Should Public Ownership Begin,—an
’ End? ‘

UBLIO OWNERSHIP of utilities has
many honest advocates. That is to say that
some of the brightest men in the country who
are against socialism or the nationalization of
all industry are strongly in favor of govern-
mental control of what are commonly known
as ‘ ‘ public utilities. ’ ’
They find it hard sometimes to define their

position. A critic will say: “You believe in .

government operation of the merchant marine,
the railroads, the canal routes, etc. Then why
should you oppose government. operation of
farms, grocery stores, printing establishments,
banks, and all the other machinery of produc-
tion and commerce?” The answer that these

are not “public utilities” does, not satisfy. .

For in a sense they ARE public Utilities. A
large percentage of the Commercial and indus
trial enterprises of the day have become so in-
terwoven with our scheme of living that they
are in a large measure indispensable to the
public comfort and convenience. Yet there
are few to argue that these enterprises should
be nationalized:

But the advocates of public ownership of
transportation lines are for the most part sin-
cere in their convictions. They believe that cer-
tain industries should be under the control of
the public and that other industries best Serve
the public under private management. They
seem to have found a definition that will fully
explain their position and clear away any can
fusion as to where they think public owner-
ship should begin'and where it should end.
They favor government control “over all in-
dustries based on public grants, privileges and

~monopolies." ' 1 ' ,

Do‘you see. anything wrong with that?

The only way a farmer could strike

a point where it would equal under-_

man who employs money has a right to

that fair dividend. Granting that th

‘1 believe the proposed League of

late war and the only outcome
worthy of the sacrifice the world has’
made. The covenant is not perfect
but it is certainly a big (and only)
step forward. It may not be a posi-
tive antidoteJor war, but it is by
far, the best one ever prescribed.
Some that oppose the treaty are
for the most part greedy and unrea-
sonable “politicians" who care little
for America or the world. They are
not honest and progressive thinking
people. They would tear down the
world's most sensible and progressive
document for the "prevention of
war," and allow a "foundation for
war” to stand. .

mechanical agencies of more terrible
variety would be used. At any rate
has America a safe guarantee of
winning? She might have to submit
to terms vastly more obligating and
oppresslng than the League requires,
besides paying the other horrible
penalties that that war’s toll would
exact. . .
What have the enemies of the pact
to offer to insure peace? Nothing.
They would return to the old sys-
tem of “Hidden Treaties," secret di-
plomacy .the old “balance of power.”
Each nation would become greedy
and envious, suspicious and deceit-
ful. Tax upon tax and loan upon

I am very glad to hear such outspoken
commendation of the League of Nations
from a‘ reader who evidently thinks for
himself. It is true, the covenant is not
perfect. but it provides its own machinery
for amending. Great confusion will. re- ,
sult if Congress makes changes in this
covenant now. Let them be made when
the times are less perilous and our
statesmen think in saner terms. The im-

portant thing NOW is get the treaty of.-
peace signed and the League Covenant
ratified, and every day that Congress puts

per of our position. I should like to hear
from more of our readers on this subject.

“AN OUNCE 0F PREVENTION Is
. .. ' WORTH A POUND OF OUR
' N ORDER to prevent our buildings
from decay we paint them. They
not only look better, but wear
longer, and when the horse kicks a
hole in the barn floor, we immediate-
ly repair it before it becomes larger.
Do we always take the same care of
our human dwellings, the. most won—
derful and highly tempered house

known ?

Because women spend more time
in the house, necessarily, than men.
they get less fresh air and sunlight,
two of nature‘s greatest health—giv-
ing tonics. T. W. Higginsdn, a not-
ed writer says:
more important to a community
than the health of its women—if
strong is the frame of the mother,
says a proverb, the son will give
laws to the people—and in nations
where all men give laws, all men
need mothers of strong frames.”

Perhaps the house in which you

. live was not planned and built by

you; the kitchen may be built on
the shady side of the house and be
dark. The first essential in remedy—
ing this evil is to realize the need
of it, and then. at a very little ex—
pense, you can at least provide one
or two more windows on the side
where the sun will shine in and then
can perhaps change the arrangement

; of your room so that your sink for

dishwashing comes under the win-
dow. We know that food will quick-
ly spoil in a damp. dark place; then
can we expect more of our bodies?

And while the dishes are being~

washed in the morning, for five or
ten minutes. you can throw open the

' living room door, even 011 the cold-
- est day, and let that general room

have a good airing. You will find

. that the cold, fresh air will heat twice

as quickly. Or you can air it while
you are sweeping and dusting, as you
will not catch cold while exercising.
Of one thing you may be sure; if
plants will not thrive in your living
room, you cannot be healthy there
either. Plants breathe just as we do,
and air filled with dust. with fumes

, from the stove and air which has
~ been breathed by a number of per-

sons is not fit food for humans any
more than it is for plants.

One ofthe most striking examples

’of sanitation as hearing on health

can be found in the way in which the

Z army camps were conducted. Hur-

riedly built huts housed thousands

‘of men, and considering the number

there, sickness was less than in any
city or town. But the doctors and
officers in charge were forever on the
lookout that the floors were kept
scrubbed with hot soapy water, for
soap is one of the best disinfectants
known, that each man had so many
square feet of space so that there

' would be sufficient air, and all gar-

bage was carried out immediately
from the kitchen so that .no flies, or
any other kind of disease carriers
would be attracted thereby. And the
boys who have returned have a new
standard of living set which they will
not soon forget and because of this
new standard they will be better

fathers and will notice these little
things in their homes much more
fquickly.

It therefore behooves the
women of the land to keep pace with
their boys and their men and en-
courage in them a new standard of

sanitation in the home.

The pursuit of happiness is strong
within all of us, and health is abso-

 

“Few things are '

 

lutely necessary to perfect happiness;
then let us guard our health as the
most precious of all our possessions.

Instead of the usual beauty col-
umn which is run in so many of our
papers, we intend to run a series of
articles dealing with the subject 01!
“keeping well,” for no one can be
beautiful who is not happy, and no
one can be happy who is not well. If

you have a cold with the consequent

red. swollen nose and lips, and weepy
eyes. the best cosmetics in the world

'will not make you attractive, there- '

fore the best course in beauty culture
which we know is the gospelof keep-
ing well and keeping happy.

Next week we will take up the dis-
cussion of the Teeth in their relation
to health and beauty.

much worn this fall are not

difficult to make, and are wide
enough so that they protect the
shoulders as well as neck, and the
wide belt serves to hoid them in place
in the wind. They are nice for the
elderly lady sitting inside who needs
something aound her shoulders, but
who wishes her arms and hands free.
as they will not slip off like a shawl,
and the young girls would welcome
one for skating and sleigh riding.
They can be crocheted with a cap to
match for sports wear and would be
a very lovely Christmas gift. Yes-
terday coming up from town on a car
a lady was wearing one made of gray

of a gold colored yarn. Her suit
was gray and also her gloves. The
effect was very pleasing.

~ Woman: is rounds ‘ "
(By Judson Greneli‘») "

' N THIS week’s installment of Mr.
Judson’s , comprehensive treat-

ment of this subject, he takes the

question of “how to split your tick-
et" if you don’t want to vote a

,. straight ticket, how to properly mark
your ballot and how to challenge the

voter, all of which should be thor-
oughly understood by every. voter
before they enter thepolls. If our
Women readers will take the time to
read these articles as they appear
each week, they will be better pre-
pared to vote than most of the men
who enter the voting booths.

Voting a Straight Ticket '

If you wish to vote a “straight”
party ticket. a cross (X). .mark is
made in the place designated under
the party emblem. In this way a
complete ballot .can be voted by
simply making one cross (X) mark.
It is a simple methodr but unfort-
unately the result is that. as one
party seldom if ever makes the
wisest selection. of candidates for all
positions, the voter favors candidates
who ought to be defeated, as well as
candidates who ought to be elected.
Still, there is this advantage in plac—
ing a cross (X) mark under the
party emblem; you are sureto vote
a full ticket; you have made some
selection, even if. not entirely the
best one. -' ‘

But SupDOSing, after having se—
lected your party, you still desire'to
favor candidates on other tickets? In
that case all you have to do is to
place a cross (X) mark before the
name of each one you wish to favor.
and it will be counted for ‘your
candidate, and against the oapon-
cut on the party ticket; in such a
case the cross (X) mark under the
party emblem does not count.

In local elections, at least, it is no
longer considered "good form” or
good sense to persist in voting the
”straight” ticket, and in some local—
ities the "party” emblems have been
dispensed with. This is the case in
Detroit. Seldom does one party
make the best selection of nominees
for all the positions in the gift of
the electorate. The best equipped
candidate for the office of the great—
est iocal importance may be the
candidate of a numerically weak
party. There 1s .wisdom in independ—
ent voting.

' Helping to Mark Ballots

The law provides for “helpers” for
illiterate or physically incapacitated
voters, The election inspectOrs des-
ignate one of their number for this
purpose. Sometimes well educated

people ask the inspectors to aid "them:

in marking their ballots, but the
"helping” clause inthe-law govern—
ing elections was never intended to

encourage such :mental laziness. 1Be—,_'
sides, helping people to mark ‘b’alr,

lots opens the door“ to vote buying.
and other unlawful conduct. Help-=
ing to mark the ballots of those who

can read is something to which all:

right- -minded men and Women ob-
ject.

The words “physically incapacitat-
ed" have reference to those Who are
blind, to tnose. unable to use their
hands, or who are without hands, or

or candidate. -

After the woman voter has been
handed her ballot. and she has made
her choice. she then folds it in such
a way. that the number appearing on

one of the corners can be torn of!

without mutilating or disclosing the
ballot- .. Each ballot must also carry

the initials of one of the inspectors; .

otherwise it Will not be counfied. So
it is- the duty of each voter to see
that her ballot has been initialed: It
is her flirther duty to see that the"
identical ballothhe. hands to the in-
spector, is placed "in the ballot box.
A voter has the right to insist that
this be done in her presence imme--
diately it is handed to the inspector.

If you make a ,mistake in mark-
ing your ballot do not try to erase it.

Exchange it for another ballot. At- _

tempted erasure will invalidate the
ballot. ,.

' Challenging the Voter ~

If, during these proceedings, some
one should challenge the vote. do
not be disturbed. Sometimes this is
done in order to frighten people away
from the polls. It is also resorted to
as an underhand method of winning
out. by making vo‘ting so slow that
the polls are closed before all thebal-
'ots have been deposited. Then,
again, the challenger, may honestly
think you have no right to vote.

So long as you know that you are
entitled to vote, being of age, and
having registered in that precinct,
just “swear in” your vote. Laugh
it off as a good joke on those who
tried to frighten you from doing your
duty. ' .

Challenging is one of the ways
of preventing " illegal voting. but
crooked people sometimes try to put
Never ne—

only a moment to be sworn, and there
is nothing humiliating in it, or of
which you need be ashamed. '

Should you change your residence
between the date of registration and
election day, obtain a transfer to the
voting district to which you have re-
moved. There is generally a printed
form on which to do this. and which
can be ‘obtained of the proper official,
usually the city clerk in the city or
the township clerk in the country.
In Detroit a precinct residence is ac-
quired in 20 days; a county resi—
dence in three months; .a state resi-
dence in six months.

, “Colonizing”

It has been complained that short
term residence requirement tempt
parties and candidates to “colonize.”
That is, legal voters .are moved from
localities where their votes can be
spared to places..§uhere a few extra
votes may win an election.

To lengthen the time in which res-
idence is acquired would often work
hardship on honest citizens fOrced to
change their residence shortly be-
best remedy
thus far discovered against colonize-u
tion schemes under forms cf law, is
publicity. Candidates will not resort
to such a method if they fear it may
be discovered; for what would be
gained by the colonizatiOn of voters

The Boy and the Wolf

Once upon a time a boy was sent by
his father to tend the sheep.

His father and some other men were
working in a field near by. Bye and bye
the boy called, “wolf, wolf," and the men
came to see if any wolf was there. There
was .no wolf. The boy was lying com-
fortably under a tree while the sheep
were grazing quietly. The next day the
while the boy was watching the sheep

he called “wolf, wolf," again the men (
came but there was no wolf. '

The third day while the boy was watchp
ing the sheep a wolf came and the boy
called “wolf, wolf." But the men did mt
come. Again he called but still they did
not come. The poor little lambs were
torn and eaten by the wolf. Who can
believe a boy like that? Well I will close
hoping to see my letter in print. Your

port grain prices ruled quite evenly
f1! past week, though the feeling
«was somewhat stronger at the close
. of the week than at the beginning.

1,1716 rapid decline in grain prices,
.‘brought about largely by the agita-

Ietion against the high cost of living
‘ farmers to their
senses and many of them are refus-
. ing to sell at present low levels. Corn
is too cheap in comparison with the
prices of other grains and commodi-
ties, and the increasing disposition of
. farmers to hold to this crop is hav-
ing a strengthening effect upon the
‘market. . .

General industrial conditions still
show their effect upon the grain mar-
kets. Capital does not like the atti-
tude of the labor organization and is
. [,xfrankly afraid of what may happen.
Many big dealers are simply mark-
ing time pending the outsome of the
industrial conference at Washington.
If capital and labor would only make
concessions; patch up their differenc—
es and get down to business once
more, the wave of uncertainty that
is sweeping the country would soon
disappear and people would again go
about their accustomed tasks in the
old accustomed way. At the present
time the longsllorelnen of New York
City are on strike and export move—
ment is being greatly hampered
thereby.

As stated in a recent issue it is our
belief and held by many others in
close touch with the grain trade that
grain prices have reached their low-
est level and that any future change
must be upward.

 

 

WHEAT SITUATION GOOD

Less than three months ago pre—
dictions were made that the enor-
mous crop of wheat then in prospect
would flood the country as by a del-
uge, clogging up the avenues of
transportation and upsetting all
standards of values. This prediction
has not come true. There is some
congestion because of the early and
rapid movement, and a car shortage
that now threatens to become seri-
ous, but for 1.18 most part the de-
mand has been able to take care of
the accumulating supplies. In fact.

it is asserted that were all govern—
ment control now removed wheat
would soon go to a much higher level.
The writer had a long discussion of
this matter with Congressman Young
of the great wheat state of North Da-
kota who strongly favors the return
of wheat to the basis of supply and
demand. Most of the Michigan
wheat is out of the farmers’ hands so
whatever may be done along this line
will effect our Michigan wheat very
little one way or another The sug-
gestion that the government extend
its control and guaranteed price to
cover the 1920 crop of wheat is for-
tunately meeting with the opposition
of Julius Barnes, president of the
G1 am Corporation. Sooner or later
the government must relinquish its
control and the sooner the better.

advantage of the revived export de—
mand. the corn market opened up
strong and defied all bearish condi—
tions. Prices for the week are slight-
ly higher and the tone of the market
is the best for some time. We feel
that it would be good business for
farmers who milst buy some corn to
carry them through the winter to
make their purchases now, and for
farmers who have corn to sell not to
be too anxious to get rid of it. ’Com—
mon sense tells us that the bottom
has about been reached in corn deal.

/OATS ARE HIGHER

Oats are stluggling upward in
sympathy with corn, though we ex-
pect to see these two grains acting
quite independently of each other by
the first of the year. While the
supply of corn is large and there-
fore there will be a reasonable limit
beyond which the price cannot go,
oats should reach a much higher lev—
el because of the scarcity. Speaking
of oats, the Price Current Grain Re-
porter says: “Oats are selling around
the cost of production and in some
cases below. The country is not dis-
posed to sell and at best has less
grain than for some years past. The
shortage in North Dakota and Mon-
tana will result in part of the South
Dakota and Minnesota crop moving
westward. Texas oats moved into
the southeastern states in volume,
but while the crop in the former sec—

tion was rather large it was serious‘

ly damaged by rains and a revival in
the southern call is expected~ before
long.”

Last week potatoes reached the
lowest levels of the season, and, says
the Chicago Packer. “operators were
of the opinion that the low point in
the season’s market had been pass—
ad."

The- October estimate places the
yield at 350,070,000 bushels which is
almost a hundred million bushels less
than the 1917 crop, but 90,000,000
bushels greater than the 1916 crop
which was the smallest since 1905.
The low production for 1919 prac-
tically assures an advancing market
throughout the balance of the ses-
son. One of the influences that has
interfered with demand and ' kept
..prices down is the rot that has de-
veloped in many carloads of eastern
potatoes, in transit.

* ity assured the demand for win' '

points bilering ‘ considerably 1119"
than that figure before another, sixty

farmers to distribute their. marketing
pretty well over the season.

It is reported to us that Michigan

is now being discriminated against
in her allotment of cars. and we have
been asked to investigate and see it
the situation can be remedied. Farm-
ers who know of instancesin which
"their local dealers or associations
have been unable to secure cars for
potato shipments should notify us at.

The bears and the bulls in this
state are engaged in' a frantic strug-

’ gle to get control of the bean market.

There are a .few, perhaps only three
or four big jobbers who have sold
short and are doing their level best
to haul prices down to where they
can “get out from under.” Just as
determinedly opposing these bears
are certain jobbers ‘who know that
the Michigan bean grower surely
cannot make a profit at less prices
than now prevailing and that the
future of the industry depends upon
the maintenance of a fair price.
There is a firm of jobbers in Grand
Rapids which has presistently oppos-
ed this move to bring prices down
below the cost of production, and
its snappy news letters sent out
each week to all the trade, no doubt
have had an efleét in helping to sue-
tain the market. We quote one 0!
their bulletins as follows:

‘Foor Michigan jobbers (our com-
petition) thru their elevators and di-
rect have ofiered to sell us beans in
an v’eflort to get us out of the market.

“Account of our competition reins-
ing to quote the trade in further ef-
fort to bear the market, our business
has‘been unusually large. Whole-
sale grocers have been active buyers
the past ten days at prices ranging
from $7.25 to $7.75 and inquiryhas
materially increased as the market
advanced. Wholesalers will buy at
reasonable prices. They are not ask—
ing for $7.00 beans.

“From presentindications jobber:
are short Octobers and will stop at
nothing to break the market. In
these wild speculative endeavors to
get ‘on easy street’ they are wrecking
your industry and ours.

“Elevators report ligh er move-
ment from farmers. Some sections
reported today farmers are refusing
to sell at $6.75 bas‘s. Growers will,
we think, be satisfied with $7.00
beans. The trade will take them on
this basis.

”A great deal of stress has been
placed on the Kotenashi beans, but
if you have followed the market you
will notice that they have followed
the advance of Michigan beans until
they are now 65c higher than on Oc-
tober first. This merely shows that
Michigan is still the barometer of
the bean market. '

vanced. materially and are being

Good Cows—Good Feed

Wherever you find good cows, you will find
that a majority of their owners have a strong
preference for Unicorn Dairy Ration.

1 Good cows and Unicorn seem to pull regcther.

, Leading breeders, Agricultural Colleges and
. 1 public institutions use and endorse this feed.

At the National Dairy Show, four owners
: of Grand Champions are Unicorn users. Two
of the‘Guernsey judges and probably half the
men in the ring, also.

done very rapidly and they are yield-

majority is of a very nice quality and
they are now being sold at $1.50 per
hundredweight.——W. L.~ ' .

ARENAC (E)-—Th‘e weather has
been very catchy and still there are
some beans and peas out yet owing
to the scarcity of labor. Beans its
going to be disappointing in yield‘
and we believe they will not average
over 8 bushels per acre, although
there are some fine fields through.
here, but that wet spell in the early
part of the season caused the drop,
Beans advanced 25 cents last week.
Potatoes are being sold at the elevat-
or at $1.05 per bushel. Poultry also
took a big slump. Some farmers are ‘
plowing, filling silos. repairing and
the like. Wheat was disappointing
in yield and not much was sown here
this fall. Beets are being delivered
and promise just a fair yield as the
lateness and the dry summer was the
cause. Stock is still very low in
price—M. B. R. ‘

MONROE (W)——The farmers are
busy with their fall crops.’ Corn is
about all cut, some have commenced
husking. The corn crop is good.
Not many potatoes dug yet. The
crop will be a light one, early sown
wheat is looking good; some wheat
to be sown yet. The heavy rains has
made the ground fine for seeding.
The alfalfa meadows look fine. No
frost to freeze them yet.——W .H. L.

PRESQU EISLE (W)—We are
having lots of rain the lastpcouple
of weeks and it is too wet to do very
much. We didn’t have any killing
frost until Oct. 6, so the potatoes are
hardly fit to'dig yet, except the early
ones and they are very poor and the
late ones won’t bemhardly half a crop.
Most of our farmers have just finish-
ed threshing with a very poor yield.
The most of the grain only about one
third of a normal yield, the spring
being too wet; then it turned so hot
and dry. There is some fall wheat
and rye sowed, which looks good.
There is a lot of plowing being done
and there are quite a few young cat-
tle in the country with a fair enough
feed to cary .them through the
Winter.————D. D. S. ,

IONIA (W)—Farmers are very
busy and help more scarce than ever.
Most of the fall seeding is done. but
it has been later than usual. Pota-
toes are turning out better than ex—
pected and selling at $1.65 perhund-
redweight at Saranac. The late rains
are making wheat look fine. Lots of

a living, you might- res-g

ably any, but good for trapping.
-But other new settlers all around

us Were starting in and establishing

homes where not a stick of timber
had been cut previous to their com-
ing. To chop and clear his land of
its heavy timber meant severe labor
and then to break up the soil with a
jumping plow where it would hook
onto roots and throw the p10wman
headlong onto the heels of his team.
Not many of the city reared boys
would have the courage to tackle a
wild 80 acres. clear it up. put up
buildings, buy tools, make the ground
produce crops and get‘ out of debt.
Some‘you'ngish men grew old and
struggle before the
farm was cleared and stumps out and
they were able to pay up the last note
or mortgage and stop the interest
which is like a gnawing fox week
days, nights and Sundays.

The early pioneers in timbered re-
gions had no other recourse than to
throw off their coats and carve out
homes and subdue the soil for the
producing of crops.

One of the regular roads Which
divides sections had been chopped
through running north and south and
we faced it towards the west. Part
of the slashed timber had been burn-
ed or cut into lengths and hauled off
to right or left in the adjacent stand-
ing timber. But the stumps Were all
there, and many logs and limbs, too.
Wagon wheels must mount many 05—

structions and fall with a teeth—rat—

tling bump.

The soil was a clay loam and in
wet times, especially fall and spring,
it was a. common occurrence to see
wagons with moderate loads stuck
in the 'mud.

If they built but that one car in a day its
cost to you would represent a king’s ranSOm.

 

  
   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But they are so well organized, their Work - ‘

so very definite, they are so expert in the
special one thing they do, and they are aided
by so many thousands of uncanny and
superhuman machines, whose accuracy is
down to 1/1000 of an inch, that you pay but
a. small price for a Maxwell.

A great aid to the economy of manufac-
ture, is the use of many, many millions of
dollars so that a 10-cent piece saved on a bit
of material often runs into amazing figures.

Thus the big staff of purchasing
experts for Maxwell become yoUr
purchasing experts and the saving
' goes on to you in the price.

$985 is indeed a small sum to
pay for a great value in a great car ., .. . . '
