Truthsabout the
Dow Chemical Company

 

The Dow Chemical Company appreciates the good will and confidence of the people
which enemies now seek to destroy by untrue assertions scattered broadcast concerning rt. It
feels confident that if the people are placed in possession of the facts, they will judge cor-

rectly.
The Company’s War Record .

The Company’ 8 policy 1n placing its plant at themed of the Federal Government
and manufacturing at the Government’ s request many cts upon which no profit was
taken, caused the market price of The Dow Chemical Company’ 8 common stock to decline
over fifty per cent from the time the United States entered the war until the armistice. ‘

The Dow Chemical Company was the only manufacturer of mustard gas in the United
States, outside of Government arsenals. It developed the process by which all mustard gas
produced in the United States was manufactured It was (me of the first chemical manufact-
uring companies in the country to be awarded the Certificate of Merit by the Government as a
testimonial of its services. The oflicial citation accompanying this award reads as follows:

“Through the co-operation of this Company with the Chemical Warfare Service, the
first large scale equipment for the manufacture of ethylene, sulphur monochloride and mu}
tard gas was obtained. The Company furnished detailed daign of apparatus for the manu-
facture of certain secret products. Its stefl developed much 'of this. country’s information
with respect to the manufacture of mustard gas. It furnished free use of its processes and its
accumulated experience in the procurement of bromine brlnes largely without compensation
and it is believed at some financial loss.’

The Cleveland Trust Company, whose integrity and accuracy will not be challenged by
any informed person, has just completed an audit and examination of the transactions between.
The Dow Chemical Company and the U. S. Government. We submit their findings:

THE CLEVELAND TRUST COMPANY, '
Cleveland, Ohio, August 17, 1920.

This is to certify that we have audited and examined the accounts of The Dow Chem.-
ical Company and find that said Company in all its transactions with the U. S. Government for
the period April 6,1917 to December 31,1918, had total sales amounting to $3, 409, 393. 66 and
that their total net profit on these sales amounted to $107, 371.69. The total percentage of net
profit on these sales was slightly less than 3 2—10 per cent. During this period the Company

borrowed $7 90 000.00. No deduction has been made in the above for interest charges on this . '

amount, nor on invested capital.
The Cleveland Trust Company,
By J. Lyman Bryan, Manager The Public Accounting Department.

The borrowed money referred to in the above statement was all used in financing U. 8.
Government contracts. We paid interest
ing an income available to our stockholders of $55, 491. 79, or a net profit to our Company upon
U. S. Government contracts of less than 1 2-8 per cent. Its, war contracts netted it less than 1
per cent per annum upon its average asses“ valuation. It was solely on awOunt of other hm.
inees that it was enabled. to pay dividends tram earnings during this period.

VCPPLE growers of the United
States are showing much inter-
est in the cider question and
many inquiries have been made late-
”ly in connection with the manufact-

"Il're of cider and vinegar.

According to John F. Kramer, Fed-

’ oral Prohibition Commissioner, there

are but three ways by which cider
can be made and sold within the

t law—to preserve it as sweet
énlder, to sell it to manufacturers who
have license to make vinegar and
for exclusive home use.

Persons who desire to make cider
vinegar must
first obtain a license from the Fed-
eral Prohibition Commissioner. Those
persons who desire to make cider for
home use must not add sugar or
any other ingredients which would

_-1ncrease the alcoholic strength above

one-half of one per cent.
The Internal Revenue regulation

~rogarding the making of cider and
' -v1negar set forth as follows:
“All persons desiring to manu-

facture cider or other intoxicating
liquors specified in this article for
conversion into vinegar, or to use
such cider or intoxicating liquors in
the manufacture of vinegar, should

his application on Form 1.404, pre-

scribed in Article III, setting forth
in such application the exact acts
for which they desire authorization.
After approval, a permit will be is-
sued authorizing the acts stipulated

"Cider ‘_manufactured by persons
holding permits as above. may be
used by them in the manufacture of
vinegar or may be sold or furnished
by them in quantities of five wine
_gallons or more to other persons
holding permits to use cider in the
manufacture of vinegar upon receipt
of permits to purchase Form 1410,

. and may not be otherwise disposed

of. ‘

“Sweet cider containing not less
than one-half of 1 per cent of alco—
he] by volume may be manufactur-
ed and sold without the nec‘essity of
obtaining permit, provided such pro-
duct is put up and marketed in ster-
ile closed containers or is treated by
the addition of benzoate of soda. or
other substance which will prevent
fermentation, in such proportion as
to insure the alcoholic content re-
malning below one-half of 1 per con-t
of alcohol by volume. The responsi-
bility for keeping the alcoholic con-
tent below such percentage rests on
the manufacturer, and in any case
where cider is found upon the mar-
ket containing alcohol in excess of
the allowed percentage the manufact-
urer will be presumed to have man-
ufactured and sold an intoxicating

or.

nq““ICltller containing less than one-
half of 1 per cent of alcohol by vol-
ume may be sold by the producer to
persons holding permits to manufact-
ure vinegar. If such cider, however,
contains one-half of 1 per cent or
:more alcohol by volume when re-
moved for conversion into vinegar, it
will be necessary that the persons
producing same hold permits to man-
ufacture cider as above provided

Let us hear through the Business Fann-
Phillips Bros., Lenawee county, Mich.
Section 86, Article V of the Prohibition Regulation provides that
cider containing less than one-half of one per cent of 91001101 by vol-
ume intended for sale must be put up and marketed in sterile closed
containers or treated with preservatives in order to keep the alcoholic
content within the proportion allowed by 1“,]! cider is found on

Inasmuch as he is responsible for keep- '
ing the alcoholic :ontent below one-half of one per cent this presump-
tion will not be raised if the increased fermentation has been caused
by the unlawful acts of the purchaser or some third party.

Sweet cider made for home use so long as it contains less than
one-half of one per cent of alcohol may be sold, but if it is not intended
for immediate consumption it should be preserved since cider contain-
ing alcohol in excess of the above amount cannot be possessed by any
person not a permit holder other than the person who made it in the
home—John F. Kramer, Prohibition Commissioner.

vided that upon removal from such
premises the product contains 1 1-2

such product from the bonded prem—

companied by a signed copy of the
chemical anlysis of the material,
showing the percentage of acetic acid
contained therein. Such vinegar may
be removed from the winery free of
tax and proper credit taken on the
records kept at the winery.

“Persons manufacturing cider or
other intoxicating liquors under this
article must keep a record of the
amount manufactured as well as the
date of manufacture, and must show
upon such record the disposition of
all liquor manufactured by them.

“Containers of all cider containing
one—half of 1 per cent or more of al-

beled immediately upon manufacture
to show the following: (1) Name of
manufacturer; (2) Date of manufact-
ure; (3) Serial number of permit
authorizing manufacture; (4) kind
and quantity of contents. The . in-
structions in Article XVIII will ap-
ply to such labels.”

Article XVIII regarding labels sets
forth as follows:

“Except where otherwise stated
herein all labels required by these
regulations must be provided by the
person required to afl'ix them, bear
the date when affixed by him, be rec-
tangular in form and of such size as
to be conspicuous. These labels must
be printed in the English language
in letters easily legible and must con-
tain no advertising matter or other
data not required by these regula- ,
tions except that translations of the
data required to be printed may also
be printed thereon in any foreign
language.

“(21) All such labels must be se-
curely pasted to the commercial head
of barrels or in a. conspicuous place
on the surface of other containers
and, in the case of wooden contain—
ers, must be secured thereto by five
tacks, one in each corner and one in
the middle of the label.

“(11) All labels required by these
regulations must remain intact until
the containers are completely empty.
No person is therefore at liberty to
substitute his own label for any such
label or to cover or deface the same
in any manner whatever.

"(c) All persons are forbidden to
transfer intoxicating liquor from one
container to another, whether or

not rectified or otherwise treated in

the interval. without placing a label ‘-
upon the new container in the same N
data as the label upon the contain»
or from which transferred. This re-
quirement does not apply to contain-

EITHER THE press of farm work
N nor lowering skies and rain were
sufficent to keep the Upper Pen-
insula farmers home from the great
round-up which was held at the Chat-
ham Experiment Station, August 10th
to 12th. Farmers came with their
families from miles around to help
make the occasion a success, to such
good effect that the round-up has
been called one of. the greatest events
in upper peninsula agriculture.

The people of the lower peninsula
are as little familiar with the agricul—
ture of,the upper peninsula os of
Maine or California. As a matter of
fact there are men Who think that
the only things produced above the
.Straits is lumber and copper, when
probably the total value of the upper
peninsula’s farm crops very nearly
approaches if it does not exceed the
combined value of her ore and forest
products. This being the case the
people of Mi‘chigan should have a
better understanding of the farming
possibilities of the upper section. The
occasional agricultural fairs and
round-ups which have been held un-
der the direction of county agents
and other agricultural representativ-
es have done much to acquaint the
people of the state with the true facts
about upper Michigan.

The farmers’ round-up at Chatham
was successfully managed by Mr. D.
L. McMillan, superintendent of the
experiment station at Chatham. Mr.
McMillen brought to Chatham some
of the best authorities and speakers
on agricultural problems and arrang-
ed a program which for variety, en-
tertainmeut and instruction, could

' experiment station;

not have been improved upon; The
objects of the round-up, Mr. McMil—
lan tells us, were to stimulate inter-
est in the agriculture of the upper
peninsula by both the farmers of the
section and the state at large; to ac-
quaint the farmers with the great
work'that is being performed by the
to instruct the
farmers in the better methods of
farming and to bring the agricultur-
al leaders together. '

The attendance the first day of the
round-up was about 400. It consist—
ed largely of farmers who came both
to learn and to satisfy their curiosity
about the work of the'Experiment
Station. Others in attendance in—
cluded county agents, club leaders,
home demonstration agents, mem-
bers of state board of extension

workers, and professors from‘the 'M. .

A. C. The program that had been
arranged was carried out in detail
with but few changes, the speakers
as before note, being men of state-
wide prominence. A portion of the

' day was spent in inspecting crops and

live stock work under the direction
of the U. P. station workers. Dur-
ing the afternoon an excellent pro-
gram was carried out by the county
agent and farm bureau workers dis-
cussing the problems of the State
Farm Bureau in the different coun-
ties and arranging for the expansion
of that organization to other counties
of the upper peninsula this season.
In the evening the alumni associa—
tion meeting and banquet was held.

bers of the boys’ and girls’ clubs in

ron and Prof. 3mm of theCo‘llege.
A boys" andgi’rls’~ camp Was con-

ducted in connection with the rounds

up, the expenses being borne by the
college. The purposes of the camp
were two fold; to give the boys and
girls well-earned recreation and ,at
the same time instruct them in use-
ful matters. The occasion was just
one round of pleasure for the young
folks, the program, of events consist-
ing of such alluring; pastimes as a
feed in the orchard, bonfire- and
stunts at the camp grounds, a dip in
the creek, live-stock judging, weenie
roast, barbecue, base ball games,
club stunts in charge of R. A. Turn-
er, state cluéb leader. The camp was
situated in a beautiful spot under-
neath some spreading elms on the
banks of the Slapneck river which
runs through the state farm, and the
boys were housed in eight large army
tents with regular camp bunks filled
with hay. '

The second day was largely de-
voted to livestock judging by the
boys at which they showed rare apt-
itude; and attracteed a large crowd
of the grown-ups. Dairy demonstra-
tionchonducted by Mr. J. A. Wald-
ron was was assisted by the station
herdsman, Leonard Braamse, and
county agents. Plot work was con-
ducted under the direction of
G. W. Putnam and was very in-
structive. Sheep and hog demonstra-
tions were in charge of Prof. Geo.
Brown, assisted by the station shep—

Jackson County Judge Upholds Napoleon’s New Consolidated Schools.-

OME MONTH-S ago the village of
Napoleon, and the townships of
‘- Napoleon and Columbia, Jack-
son county, held a special election to
vote upon consolidating the school
districts. The proposition carried by
a narrow margin. Bonds were issued
to build a central school, but it was
found that a proper structure could
not be had for the amount of money
authorized. In the mix—up that fol-
lowed some of the original opponents
of the plan, filed a petition in circuit
court for a writ of mandamus to
force the village and townships to
re—su'bmit the question in hopes of
turning the consolidated district back
to its former status. The petition
was heard the latter part of July ‘by
Judge Benjamin Williams of Jack-
son, who not only denied the man-
damus but took occasion to- praise
the consolidated school system.

The opinion cites the act under
which three or more rural schools
may be consolidated into one graded
school, where the school year will be
agriculture will be taught
“and where the building and equip-
ment will be much more complete
and used as a community center.

cause a larger amount of money to
be expended ’for their maintenance
and enlargement.

In addition to carrying on this
three year pu’blicity campaign to
popularize the library idea following
its “Books for Every-body” move-
ment, the asso'ciation will co-oper-
ate with state library commissions
and special library associations to
hasten the solution of many other li-
brary problems. Among these are:

Strive for a better citizenship by
using the foreign language press and
by other means to promote the read-
ing of books about America; work
for the extension of the county li-
brary plan to every county in the
United States, so that good '-books
may be easily available to all of the
population; aid in the establishment
of more business and technical li—
braries; maintain a clearing house
of information so that the experi-
ence of librarians everywhere may be
available to all; establish libraries on
vessels of the American Merchant
Marine, in coast-guard stations and
lighthouses; aid in the production
of more books for the blind in the
new uniform type; continue to sup—
ply books to ex-service men who
formed the habit of reading and
studying during the war and who
are not served by local libraries; as—
sist in the maintenance of European
headquarters for the international ex-

change of library information, and _

Federal government and Michigan

finally, carry on - a sustained pro-
gram of education that will result in
an increased recognition of the value
of library service in adult and juven-
ile education, and make the library
a more potent factor in the life of
every community.

The association during the war
supplied the men here and overseas
with more than 7,000,000 books. And
today it is supplying books for the
men in the Public Service Hospitals,
to those in the Merchant Marine, and

to coast guards and light-house keeps

ers. In its present plan small li-
braries are to be maintained on all
of the vessels of the American Mer—
chant Marine. Success in develop-
ing our shipping and export trade de-
pends on getting men. By placing
magazines and books regularly on
all vessels and lending from a cent-
ral agency of any book to any sailor,
men will be more inclined to join
this service as they will be able to
read for recreation or to study. This
will also be applied to the lighthous—
es and coast guard stations.

To Help Foreign Born

Americanizing the foreigners is
one ofthe largest problems that the
association expects to solve. The
spirit of unrest that now prevails
throughout the country indicates that

Adult Education

‘There is a vast and largely unfi
worked ’field for libraries in supple-‘-
menting the work of the public school
in promoting the voluntary use of
books and other printed matter for
self education. Thousands of the
men and women of high school and
college age who went into military
service may be stimulated to embark
upon reading courses. Large groups
of boys and girls who every year
leave school to enter business are po-
tential students during their first
years out of school. Millions of men
and women who, because of chang-
ing world conditions, the re-
enfranchisement of women, and for ‘
other reasons are anxious to gain
more information on various ques-
tions. By the preparation and wide
distribution of study courses on vo-
cations and other subjects, the ‘Asso—
ciatio-n can greatly increase the
number of persons who read serious-
ly along definite lines.

“The Use of Books as Tools" has ,
so long been a slogan that it is now
a commonplace, but it has yet to be
applied universally. The American
Library Association, c-o-oper-ating
with local libraries, will endeavor in
all sorts of ways to promote the in-
telligent use of practical vocational,
technical and business books. It will
encourage the increased publication
of such books. It will promote and
help in the establishment of libraries
in industrial plants. Increased pro-
duction and greater efliciency is the
need today, and the establishment of
more technical libraries will be a.
strong factor in bringing this albout.

A fund of $2,000,000 is to be rais-
ed to carry out this program. The
money will not be raised by an in-
tensive drive, campaign or house-to-
in the next few months. “There will
house canvas, but will be obtained
quietly throughout the country with- ,
be no appeal for funds next year,"
says oflicials of the association; “and
certainly not until 1923 if there is
ever a need for another call.”

Community Gatherings

AST WEEK Wednesday I gave a talk on»

the shores of beautiful Silver Lake in Kent
county. 'The occasion was a joint picnic be-
tween Silver Lake Grange and Kent County
Pomona Grange. I did not arrive in time for
dinner so I cannot tell you how good the fried
chicken was, but I can tell. you that the finest
meal of fried chicken and apple pic I evor ate
was at the picnic at Pompeii a few weeks prev-
ious. Fried chicken is my gastronomicai weak-
ness and I can positively assure you that it was
no fault of mine'that I did not indulge in this
weakness at Silver Lake.

You’ll be interested in the reason why some-
one else got my'piece of fried chicken. I was
busy in my room at my hotel pounding out my
speech on a typewriter when one of the local
newspapers called up and wanted to know if
their political writer could have an audience
with me. He came over and in two minutes
we were deep in the midst of a red-hot argu-
ment. He expressed his fears as to what would
happen to the good old ship of state when
the farmers took control. He was afraid that
they would scuttle the boat, take to the life
rafts and leave all others on board to perish.
Right then and there the fur began to fly, so to
speak, and precious moments which I should
have spent on my speech were burned up in a
half-hour sermon on the positive duties of men
and women everywhere to take ,a keener inter-
est in politics and endorse men for public office.
I told him that if the farmers of Michigan
were contemplating either openly or in secret
any class legislation I did not know what it
was. “Let the farmers elect their men,” I told
him, “and you’ll have less politics and more
business in the administiation of affairs at
Lansing and \Vashington.’

This explains why zDI did not leave Grand
Rapids until one O’clock to speak at a picnic
fourteen miles away at 1:30; why I was two
minutes late, and why, saddest of all, to relate,
1 do not know the flavor of Kent county fried
chicken.

That’s a fine country over in east of Grand
Rapids. The telephone poles hid the surround-
ing country. from my sight on the way over to
the picnic, but upon my return I was able to
p1 oeeed in a more leisurely fashion and to ob-
serve some of the fine farms that grace the
slopes and valleys of that favored region.

But the picnic. A friend of mine recently
attended a public gathering in Battle Creek
and writing of the experience afterward he
said he had never seen so many beautiful and
‘ intelligent women together as attended that
banquet. But you must remember that my
friend has never had the opportunity of meet-
ing the farm women of Kent county. I amort
hem and now that the beauty of the ladies of

of the trend of country population cftywar‘d,
for it is serious enough, but if every rural com-
munity has as many bright, cl’eon, stalwart
young men left to them as I saw over at Silver
Lake, there will be no cause to worry about

. the next generation of farmers. I did observe

 

 

Talk Will Not Elect Men to Office:
It’s the Votes That COunt

OME FOLKS have the funny notion

that all they’ve got to do in order to
put good men in oflice and secure wise
legislation is to talk about it. According-
ly a few weeks before election they ’get
all “hot up” over the candidates and the
issues. They attend political gatherings
and argue with their neighbors over the
back fence. Then when the primaries
come they stay at home and don’t vote.
That won’t elect the farmer candidates
by a long. shot. It’s the votes that count, ‘
——not just the votes of a handful of citi-
zens in the rural communities—but the
votes of every last man and woman citi-
zen physically ablo to go to the polls.
The man who can vote and doesn’t is a
poor citizen. I want to see every farmer
'in Michigan go to, the polls next Tuesday.
I want him to see that his neighbor on
both sides and in front and back of him
goes and votes. I want to see him take
his wife by the arm and say, “Put on
your sunbonnct or your Sunday-go-to-
meetin’ hat,j(it doesn’t make any differ-
erence which), and come with me to the
polls.”’ Do that and the farmers of
Michigan will carry the" next election.—
Editor. .

 

 

 

 

 

 

one thing about those boys and that was that
almost without exception they all took an cagcr
part in the games and the sports, and I
couldn’t help but think that this giving the
young men a chance to meet together and play
together was perhaps one of the reasons ‘why

they were content to remain upon the farms. I ‘

couldn’t help but wish that eyery rural com-
munity in Michigan might have its community
play day on which both young and old of both
sexes could just forget work and all be kids to-
gether in a general frolic.

That’s one of the. things I talked upon. I
tried to show that there is no earthly sense of
the boys and girls leaving the forms if the

. farms and the communities in which they are

located are made attractive. I 'tried to show
them that "community picnics, community gath-
ering halls, community entertainment and rec-
reation provided the very things which lure
the boys to the city, namely clean; hoalthy pas-
time and the companionship of others which
every normal boy and girl craves.

The struggle for equal suffrage has been
long, tedious and some times bitter. Like pro-A

had its converts and its backsliders. Even

wisdom or justice in giving woman the ballot. '
The most bitter opposition", however, has come
from the forces that thrived upon the saloon
and other immoral institutions. They were
frankly afraid cf woman ’s elevating influence

held the balance of pewer finally reached the
point where they had to concede that there was

and sits through trying hours nursing them '
to manhood and womanhood; who manages. our
households ; who shares our disappointments _
as well as our joys; who, endures the darkest
crises of failure, sickness and death,—she has
come at lastinto her own. And we are glad.

Business Methods
E HAVE reached the point in the farm:-
ing business where its very existence de-
pends upon the employment of certain rccogi
nized rules of business. Industrial enterprises
succeed because these rules are persistently ap-
plied. In the majority of cases the demand for
manufactured products must be created. In ~
the farming business the demand is ever pres-
ent. Some years it is more insistent than
others, but it is always there. People may go
without automobile .without furniture, With-
out clothes, even if necessity forces them to do
so, but take away their food and they perish.
Therefore, the greatest obstacle which encount-
ers any business is- in the farming business
overcome by the demands of nature herself.
The farmer is, therefore, left fairly free to
turn his attention to the best means of produc-
tion, to the discovery and application of econ-
omies in the distributing of his products. By
the ve_ry nature of his business he can do noth-
ing single-handedly. There are six million
farms in the United States each competing .
with the other. If left to their own devices
they could in time all but destroy each other
by over-production and the selling of their ,~
products below cost. They have virtually been ‘
engaged' in a destructive competition for years

and didn’trealize it. But today when the bid— .

ding, the supplies and labor. between the coun~

try and the city is so spirit-ed, forcing the farm , , \ng.
or to secure a greater return than ever before »

from his farm, the need for organized oo-operw
ation that will end ruinous competition is W.
iy seen. The farm organizations are

FARMERS FOR CURRIE

I believe the better informed farm-
ers and voters generally of the tenth
congressional district will heartily
commend your stand on Congress-
man of this district. While some of
the opponents of Mr. Currie are us-
ing arguments which are not facts,
to say the least, it is the duty of us
voters to. find out the truth of these
statements before we turn down

. such a man as Gilbert A. Currie.

Your comment in the M. B.‘ F.
answers some of the political hot air
that is blowing around Clare coun-
ty and, no doubt, the rest of the
district. There is a lot of sympavhy
expressed by a ,very few of the op-
ponents of Mr. Currie for the poor

.coal miner who has to work eight

hours a day, but nothing is said by
them of the farmer who works from
twelve to fifteen hours to feed them.
I am at a loss to know how the farm-
ers of this district can fail to sup—
port Mr. Currie, who has «been so loy-
all to them—G. V. Clare, Mich.

I agre Currie's courage in
handling the coal strike is likely to cost
him the nomination unless the farmers
stand loyally‘ by his side. His opponent
is using every kind of. a promise and
every kind of mean and unsportsmanlike
tactics to turn the farmers against Cur-
rie, But his record stands. I can find
nothing in it but what should command
the approval and support of the farmers.
Were «there' a serious flaw in the record
the Business Farmer would be the ii
to find it and six so it. But in the ab-
sencg of such a aw we would consider
the efeat of Currie by the farmers as a
piece of rank ingratitude. We don’t be-
ieve in that kind of a reward for good
services rendered—Editor.

that our efforts will be noticeable at

NEWAY DISTRICT

I want to say a few words to you
regarding what I know to be the
facts in relation to the candidacy of-
Mr. David Brake of Fremont, and
his attitude and standing in his town-
ship and Newaygo county generally.

No man in Dayton township where
Mr. Brake lives, and no man in Ne-
waygo county has a better record, for
honesty and integrity than does he,
and I firmly believe that no man in
his town or county is better able, or
better adapted to aid in legislation
for the county and state than is Mr.
Brake. ,

He has the absolute confidence of
his people, and as a farmer, Glean-
er and Granger, his record stands
untarnis-hed. He is a farmer of the
first and best type, does his own farm
ing, and should he be nominated and
elected as the representative from
this county, the farmers of the state
need have no concern as to what he
will do regarding every measure in—
tended and properly drafted in their
favor. But he will be just as sure
that they will not have his aid in un-
fair, and undeserving legislation. He
is now serving his township as sup—
ervisor, has for the last 18 years.
served in some capacity as officer of
his township and no man, dare to
speak any word of disapproval when
referring to his manhood and sterl-
/ing qualities which are necessary in
times luSt like these—A. B., White
Cloud.

We are glad to see that Newaygo coun-
ty is putting up such a high type of
farmer for the state legislature. If all
the farmer candidates who are in the
race this year win out we are going to
have one of the best legislatures in the
history of the state—Editor.

 

 

   

 

 

THE GBOWER’S PRICE

Can farmers fix prices?

This they propose to do, accord-
ing to 0. A. Lyman, secretary, Na-
tional Board of Farm Organizations,
by formation of marketing agencies,
by storage of surplus, and by pre-
vention of overproduction.

Farmers believe, says Lyman, that
they aren't getting enough profit out
of the production .of food. They in-
sist farming isn't a paying business
now; that is why so many rural peo-
ple are flocking to cities. -They

would eliminate the middleman by'

occupying that position themselves.
They would deal more directly with
the ultimate consumer which may or
may not lower prices consumers pay.
It would, however; increase the
farmer's margin ofproflt:

The monumental program Lyman
suggests, is nothing other than a
food. growers' trust. Farmers would
filmi- their product to their nation-

!aarketing company, which in turn

d direct it to the market where
i was most sorely needed and where
by, reason of that need the, prices
are highest. ‘

;. i

 

  

When the prices there dropped be-
low other markets food would be
shifted elsewhere. Surplus stores
would be held in refrigerator plants,
warehouses, elevators, all under
farmer control. Now they are stor-
ed under miller, grain dealer, pack-
er, speculator control. .

Obviously the .city consumer would
be no worse off. He would be chang-
ing his master; that’s all. Instead of
contributing to the support of a
few manipulators of food products.
he would be handing the money over
to a larger body of farmer-control-
lers. This must be remembered:
farmers have e ' ressed no intention
of forming their-food trust to fill the
city housewife's market basket at 1a
lower price. They are going into it
to fatten their own pocketbooks.

»What, then, should the city con-
sumer do? . _ , .

He should do as the producers
threaten to (lo—get together, oo-op-
erate. He should meet the produc-
er half, way. He should eliminate
the parasites that: prey upon him.

The only antidote for a selling trust -

CANNOT UNDERSTAND HEW-
IOUS INTOLERANGE .1

In your’issue of July 10th you K
printed a letter from R. F. Lamb_,4
criticising your editorial in defenseg‘,
of religious liberty. Lamb’s letter
would indicate that if he had his way
the Catholic church would be wiped
out of existence here in America.

It has always been a mystery to
us Catholics why it is that in this
enlightened age there exists such a
spirit of religious intolerance on the
part of some Christian people. We
can understand this in Anarchists.
Bolshevlsts, Socialists and the like
for they hate anything that is a
strong bulwark and support to our
established form of government, but
we fail to understand it in any
class of Christian people. I ‘ take it
that Lamb is a Christian and that he
belongs to some rural church. It
so, he must be woefully ignorant of
the work done in the Catholic school
or else he is blindly prejudiced
against the Catholic church.

Perhaps he gets his‘ideas from the
“Monaco” and swallows its ravings
as gospel truth. Better get out
among folks, Brother Lamb, and get
acquainted with a few Catholics and,
if possible, visit some parish school.

Then you canget a real and true
knowledge as to just what kind of
people Catholics are and you will
know just what their parish schools
are doing. '

If you had a true knowledge of
these matters and if you are a genu-
ine Christian, you never would be
guilty of making such an insulting

     
  

 
 

 
 

cation when you spoke about "an
alien pope forcing his alien system
upon a free American people and
innocent children.”

Of course if you are a Socialist
nothing more need be said. We can
understand your venom—William
Bennett, Livingston Oowntfl.

SANILAC 1’0me
At a mass meeting of the Town-

ley, Washington and Watertowp,
Sanilac county, the following ticket
was selected for the united support
of the farmers:

Governor, Milo D. Campbell, State \
Senator, John Hunt, Bad Axe; State
Representative, Chas. F. Burnham;
Sheriff, John A. Johnson; Probate
J udge, Grant H. Smith; County Clerk
Garfield M. Benedict; Treasurer,
George Donaldson, Drain Commis-
sioner, Bert R. Walker; Prosecuting
R. J. West; Register of
Deeds, Wm. Robsinson.

It is hoped that such action will
be taken in every township and every
farmer should consider himself a
committee of one to see that imme-
diate action is taken—John W. Good-
wine, Chairman .Saud‘usky, Mich.

READING BIBLE IN SCHOOLS

I was much interested in the art-
icles on the parochial schools in the ,
M. H F. Personally I have nothing
against the parochial schools for I
know nothing about them. But, pray
why do our Catholic friends object
to having the Bible read in the public
schools. At our last school meeting
a Catholic woman said to me that a
certain Methodist wasn't fit, to serve,
on the sch 1 board because he want— .
ed the Bi is read in school! We ‘
have one God and one flag and one
constitution and if our Catholic
friends are “one hundred per. cant
live and let live Americans, why do
they object to anything of this kind?

The water in different sections Of\

the state contains a comparatively
large amount of; iron. I do
know whether this is'true of your

some of the trouble.
. The most frequent cause of iron
rust in clothing after washing, how-
ever is the type of .bluing used.
Liquid bluing usually is a Prussian
blue, or ferric ferrocyanide. This
iron in the bluing is precipitated by
strong alkalies, such as washing
soaps, washing soda, ammonia, etc.
Therefore, if the clothes are' not

To Remove Iron Rust

Use one of the agents given below 5
for iron rust stains on white washb,

able materials. In the case of cel-
ored materials, try the effect at the
agent first on a sample or in an in-
conspicuous place.
1. Cream of
acid tartrate.) Boil the stained
place in a solution of 4 teaspdonfuls
to one pin-t of water until the stain
completely disappears, then rinse

This agent, owing to its cost, is'prac-ta':
ticable only for stains upon. small}. "
articles which can be immersed and

boiled ina cup or two of solution.
though it may housed in the case of

larger articles by holding them above-

the solution, in such a way that only
the stained portion is immersed“
2., Lemon juice. Spread the
stained place over a vessel of active-
ly boiling water, and then squeeze
lemon juice on the stain. After s
few minutes rinse the stain and re-
peat the process. This method is
rather slow but does not injure del-
icate white cotton or linen fabrics.

has been described above.

5. Rhubarb stalks. One stalk

to dissolve iron rust. If the stalks”
have highly colored skinspeel them
before using. Boil the stain in the
solution for 15 minutes or- longer, if
necessary.

Parker’s eyes lighted on the strange

peeped in. Next, he firmly shook
Francis by the shoulder.

The latter's eyes opened, for a
second betraying the incomprehenn

ed. then lighting with recognition
and memory of the waking order he
had, left the previous night.

Mrs.Morgan. She is not in her room
and there is a queer note and a knife

[here that may explain. I don't know
” n ‘

Francis was out of bed in a
bound, staring one moment at the
out,
reading the note over and over as if
its simple meaning, contained in two

.simple words, were too abstruse for

his comprehension.
“Adios forever,” said the note.
What shocked him even more, was
the dagger thrust between Leoncia’s

' eyes, and, as he stared at the wound

made in the thin cardboard, it came
to him that he had seen this very
thing before, and he remembered
back to the lake dwelling of the
Queen when all had gazed into the
{olden bowl and seen variously, and,
when he had seen Leoncia’s face on
the. strange liquid metal with the
knife thrust between the eyes. He
even put the dagger back into the
cardboard wound and stared at it
some more.

The explanation was obvious. The
Queen had betrayed jealousy against
Leencia from the first, and here, in
New York, finding her rival’s photo-
graph on her husband’s dresser, had
no more missed the true conclusion
than had she missed the pictured
features with her point of steel. But
Where had she
gonei—she who was the veriest
stranger that ever entered the great
city, who called the telephone the
magic of the flying speech, who that
of Wall Street as a temple, and re-
garded Business. as the New York
man’s god. For all the world she
was as unsophisticated and innocent ‘
of a great city as had she been a
traveler from Mars. . Where and
how had she passed the night? Where
was she now? Was she even alive?

Visions of the morgue with' its un-
identified dead, and of bodies drift-
ing out to sea on the ebb, rushed
into his brain. I was Parker who
steadied him back to himself.

existence. He ‘forgot what regular
heurs of sleep were, and grew accus-
tomed to being dragged from lunch-
eon or dinner, or of being routed out

_ of his bed, to respond to hurry calls

to come and look over new-found
missing ladies. No trace of one
answering her description, who had
left the city by train or steamer had
been discovered, and Birchman assid-
uously pursued his fine-tooth comb-
ing, convinced that she was still in
the city.

Thus,»Francis took trips to Mat-

. tewan and down Blackwell’s, and

the Tombs and the All-Night court
knew his presence. Nor did he es-
cape being dragged to countless hos-
pitals nor to the Morgue. Once, a
fresh-caught shoplifter, of whom
there was no criminal record and to
whom there was no clew of «identity,
was brought to his notice. He had
adventures with mysterious women
cornered by Birchman’s satellites in
the back rooms of Raines’ Hotels,
and, on the West Side, in the Fifties
was guilty of trespassing upon two
comparatively innocent love-idyls', to
the embarrassment of all concerned
including himself.

Perhaps the most interesting and

tragic adventure was in the ten mil—'

lion dollar manion of Philip Janu-
ary, the Telluride mining king. The
strange woman, a lady slender, had
wandered in upon the Januarys a
week before, ere Francis came to

.—

 

see 'her. *And, as she had heartbreak-
ingly done for the entire week, so
she heartbreakingly did for Francis,
wringing her hands; perpetually
weeping and murmuring beseeching-
ly: “Otho. you are wrong. On my
knees I tell you you are wrong. 0tho
you and you only, .doI love. There
is no one but you, Otho. There has
never been any one but you. It is
all a dreadful mistake."

And through it all, the Wall Street
battle went on against the undiscov—
erable and powerful enemy who had
launched what Francis and Bascom
could not avoid acknowledging was
a catastrophic, war-to—the-death raid
on his fortune. ‘

“If only we can 'avoid throwing
Tampico Petroleum into the whirl-
pool,” Bascom prayed.

“I look to Tampico Petroleum to
save me," Francis replied. ”When
every security I can lay hand to has
been engulfed, then, throwing in
Tampico Petroleum will be like the
eruption of a new army upon a los-
ing field.”

“And suppose your unknown foe
is powerful enough to swallow down
that final, splendid asset and clam-
or .for more?” Bascom queried.

“Then I shall be broke. But my
father went broke half a dozen times
before he won out. Also was he
born broke. I should worry about
a little thing like that.”

in Ind, they say that already cm-

results are obtained from the em-

movement of freight cars. Cars
that ran 22.8 miles a few months ago
are running 26 miles today, and of-
ficials hope to get the average up to
80 miles within the next few months.
Every additional mile run by the av-
erage freight car is equal to on tn-
erease of 90,000 additional freight
ears. oflicials claim.

According to reports, railroad of-
ficials in the west are very optimist-
ic over the baffle outlook. and are
quoted as saying that the creme sit-
uation is rapidly nearing normal,
owing to the lessening of demand for
cars from various industries. In
spite of this let-up in demhnd for
freight cars business is in a very
healthy condition. In some indus-
tries the plants are running on part
time schedules. but general reports
indicate that labor is well employed
except in a few instances. There
seems to be quite a plentiful supply
of cars in the west appropriate _for
the shipping of grain. and western
farmers are rapidly marketing their
grain at good prices.

The credit situation is somewhat
easier, and the demand for money
to move crops is being met. Bank-
ers know that the farmers have to

Wholesale prices on commodities

An oflcial statement was published
a few days ago that retail prices ad-

now that a decline has set in and
the cost of living to the consumer is
coming down.

Crops are turning out fine. Some

Corn-is in fine condition and the out-
look is for a bumper yield in nearly

general are reported fairly good.

tinues to take on a more optimistic
look, and as cars are becoming more
plentiful every day, dealers are in-
clined to believe that the only thing
that will keep prices from going low-
er will be small receipts at the mar-
kets and a large demand. Receipts
of wheat has been rather small the
past week. much to the disappoint-
ment of dealers. There is practical-
ly no wheat for sale on the Chicago
market. as dealers say that most of
the grain is sold on the “to arrive
at" to an orders taken some
time ago. Italy and Holland are
the main exporters in the market at
present, the British having with-
drawn about ten days ago, but they
are expected to resume trading at
any time now;

Organized farmers in Kansas, Ne-
braska, Oklahoma and Missouri held
a meeting recently at which they
adopted the slog-an “Three dollar
wheat or no wheat." These farmers
claim that recent declines in grain
prices are due to manipulation, and
say that the declines suffered by the
grain markets during the past month
or so have been most unfair. They
exhibited charts that showed that
wheat at $2 a bushel means aloss of
77c. Of course, if this movement be-
comes widespread the price of wheat
is apt to advance to that level, but

very slowly, as dealers will feel that

farmers will sell at a slighly lower
figure it they think they are not go-
ing to get any more. -

There is quite a surplus of wheat
in the country and if the $3 move-
ment confines itself to the four states
mentioned there is not much chance
of its affecting prices for some time
at least.

Canada estimates that she Will
have a wheat crop of 262,338,000
bushels this year, against 193,260,-
000 bushels last year, so we are go-
ing to have some stiff competition in'

THE IJVES'IDO'K MARKET
By H. R. Mack

The average prices paid for kill-
ing cattle in the leading markets of
the country last week were lower
than for any preceding date this
Lear and for the corresponding date

any proceeding year for some
time back. The average price of
cod steers in Chicago last week was‘
14.85 per cwt., being 5 cents low-
er than that of last week, $1.10 low-
or than the corresponding week of
last year and 75 cents lower than
two weeks ago. Owing to small re-
ceipts, the Detroit market showed
slightly higher last week than the
week before. On Monday of this
week, Detroit cattle values were
quoted full strong with last week's
general average.

Country buyers who frequent the
Detroit market report the existence
of some dissatisfaction on thepart
of growers and some co-Operative
shippers, because. of the low aver-
age prices that have. ruled the local
trade in Michigan cattle during the
past two months; it is safe to as-
sume, however, that if the farmers
who are criticising the Detroit cat-
tle market understood the butcher
business as well as they understand
the details of farming, they would
have no criticisms to offer.

The producer should not forget
that every animal, which is sold alive
in the Detroit market, mustbe sold
again to dealers who will display it
in their shops and cut from it, small
retails orders for their customers.
The grass cattle that have reached
this market so far this year from
Michigan have yielded the smallest
dressing percentages ever known in
the local market; the question of
dressing percentages is an important
one, it is true, but the wholesaler of
meats must look much farther than
this if he wishes to hold his trade.

The vendor of fresh meats at re-
tail is governed, to a great degree in
his selection of daily supplies, by the
expressed personal preferences of 'his
customers; he has an advantage over
the killer in that he sees the meat,
sans the hide, but his customers is
on an equal footing with him in this
respect and as he has frequently
learned to his sorrow in the past.
does not hesitate to criticise when
quality is lacking. The buyer in the
public market must not forget that
. the bullock, which is offered for his
luspectlon, must past muster on the
_ mailers block and on the table of
' f ' the consumer; the country producer.
“ also. should not overlook this im-
rtan t tact. Michigan cattle have

“ .: :en-m slow. sellers in all markets all

ever known so late in the
mmer season. Local kli’iers have
ad a regular supply of western cat-

fie, nearly all of which have dressed

The general average price nor fat

$12. 40, being the lowest. with one
exception. since early in 1916: this
average was 95 cents per cwt. low-
er than that of the previous week,
$4.95 lower than one year ago and
96. 35 lower than two years ago. De-
troit had a dull sheep and lamb trade

Live 1! and Provides”

Experience operators in the. live
hog market and it dimcult to under-
stand thesntics or the current. mar-
ket, especially when the extremely
small current receipts are taken into
consideration. The strongest bulrl ar-
gument, in connection with the cur-
rent live hog trade, is the scarcity
of finished hogs throughout the
country, drovers and killers, gener-
ally, finding it very~difllcult to secure
finished hogs enough to supply the
pressing needs of their trade.

The predominant bear influence,
in connection with the current live
hog trade, is the dullness and droop-
ing tendency of speculative provision
values; a belief is becoming quite
general, however, that the specula-
tive provision market has gone one
way just about long enough for the
present and a change for the better
may be looked for in the near future.
Germany has been taking our lard
quite freely of late and weekly ex-
portation reports are making a heal—
thy showing.

The average weight of the hogs
coming to hand throughout the coun-
try is increasing rapidly and, thanks
to the improved lard demand, heavy
hogs are selling much better than
formerly; rumor has it that Buffalo

‘ is shipping heavy rough hogs to Chi-

cago where quotations show prices
for this kind to be higher in
any other market in the country.
The top in Chicago, last week, for
live hogs was $16.15; this price was
20 cents lower than the previous
week and $5.7 5 lower than one year
ago. The quality of the hogs that
have come to hand in Detroit during
the last ten days have been extremely
common. Prices for mixed hogs have
ranged from $15.40 to $15.75. Only
a few prime hogs showed up, local-
ly, on Monday of this week, the top
being $15.60.

being in attendance. The forenoon

the sky was overcast and rain fell
which undoubtedly prevented many
others from coming. A big barbe-
cue dinner, consisting of roast ox,
mashed potatoes, baked beans, sweet
corn, buns, coflee and ice cream was
prepared under the direction of the

Marquette prison chef, Mr. Deagon,

and it was a delightful affair from

beginning to end. The county’s af-
ter dinner speaker was Sen. Van-
denboem, who was responded to by

Hon. Jason Woodman, member of

the Board of Agriculture. The

speaking program which followed
was of rare quality and made all to
feel that they had not spent their
time in vain. The ladies came in
for their share of entertainment and
instruction as per schedule. The at-
tendance was large and the interest
keen. At the milk booth which
proved very popular over so gallons
of dilerent kinds of milk drinks
were given away. The purpose of
this novel feature was to popularize

the drinking of milk. .

All in all, the Chatham Round-up
was a splendid success and the in-
terest on the part of the farmers
was such as to fully repay all who
were responsible for the Round—up
in full measure fior their efforts.

which to get the farmers together

The common mul-loin (verbascum’

thapsus) was formerly listed as one

of the official medicines in‘the‘v‘ari-
ous disponsatories. It hasnot, how-
ever,'been considered official for a
good many years, although it" is still
listed among the non-official drugs
in the 2ch edition of the United
States Dispensatory, published 'in
1918. Both the dried flowers and
the dried leaves are" used, the former
under the name of Verbasci Flores
and the latter Verbasci
quote what this dispensatory

concerning the niedicinial value.

”Mullein leaves are demul‘cent and
emollient, and are thought to possess
which
them useful in pectoral complaints.
On the continent of Europe, an in-
fusion of the flowers, strained in or-
der to separate the rough hairs, is
considerably used in mild catarrhs.
An oil, produced by saturating olive
oil with mullein flowers, during pro—
longed exposure to the sun, is used
as a local application in Germany for
piles and other mucous membrane
inflammations. The mullein oils
sold in pharmacies are of this nature
or some of them alcholic tinctures.
The dried leaves are sometimes smok-
ed to relieve irritation of the respir-
atory mucous membrances; fomenta-
tions with mullein leaves also have
some repute as anodynes. Internal-
ly ,the decoction (an ounce to the
pint, flowering tips) may be taken
in the quantity of from four to six
fluidounces.”

A number of dealers in crude
drugs buy mullein, among them be-
ing the Crude Drug Company of
247-249 Pearl St., New York, N. Y.
write to this company or others
dealing in these things to get prices
and directions for collecting and put-
ting up the leaves and flowers.

As regards the preservatives for
home made medicine in the absence
of alcohol it is rather difficult to
suggest a good preservative. There
is considerable doubt as to the desir-
ability of using Benzoate of Soda as
a preservative. I believe the present
pure food ragmmious permit 1-10 of
1 per cent of this chemical.

If. you are manufacturing these
medicines for sale, it may be
possible for you to obtain ,al-
eohol under the restrictions now
provided by the National Prohibition
law for the manufacture of those
medicines in which alcohol is abso-
lutely necessary. You should apply
to the authorities at Washington or
in Detroit who have the enforcement
of that law in their hands, to learn

good and I do not expect any great
damage this season."

Manistee County
, BothE. S. and C. B. of Manistee
'pcounty declare the damage is less
than. reported, but still appreciable,
While Carl Knopf, agricultural agent
for that county gives us the follow-
ing interesting facts:

“Both this year and last the hop-
pers have done considerable damage
in Manistee county. In 1919 the
Farm Bureau started the poison cam-
paign in April andhad used 6 tons
of White arsenic by the end of the
season. This year the Farm Bureau
started the control organization work
in October 1919 and in the follow-
ing month purchased a carload of
white arsenic. To date we have
used over 33 tons of white arsenic.

“An estimate made by 40 farmers
’ in Manistee county last year said
that the Farm Bureau had saved
Manistee county over' $78,000 by its
control campaign. I consider these
figures very conservative and believe
that they will total not less than a
$100,000 saving for 1919.

“This year we have had little dam-
age in sections where the control
work was started early and carried
out thoroughly and efficiently. How—
ever, there are sections who under-
estimated the Farm Bureau cam-
paign and who did not start con-
trol work until the pest had practical-
ly gotten out of control. These sec-
tions have 'lost entire fields of beans
"and corn. In the fruit districts
strawberry patches and raspberry
patches have been completely ruined
despite strenuous, though tardy, ef-
forts of control. -

“Comparing the wide awake sec-

tions with those which were tardy I
would say that an estimate of $500,-
000 worth of crops saved is very
conservative.
' “The 33 tons of white arsenic men-
tioned before have been used all over
the county. Each one of our 14
townships have used some of the
poison. .

“While we have all agreed that

publicity concerning the grasshopper _

menace is not desirable, yet it is also
a fact "that people who have not ob-
served the ravages of this pest can-
not begin to appreciate the damage
which they do.”
In Conclusion
The only conclusion that can be
drawn from the above reports is that
the hoppers have not done as much
damage this year as in previous years
due to the wet and cool weather and
the persistent use of poison. That
fact is unimportant, however. The
important fact is that thousands of
farmers of Northern Michigan have
lost crops which they could not af-
ford to lose. We are impressed with
- the‘further fact that this is a mat~
‘ier which concerns the entire state of
Michigan which should take steps at
hefnext session of the legislature to
mmbat the hoppers another year. We
vat-é grateful to our readers for sup-
ving us with the above information
-' a ‘d’wevhope that in the future when
M e’ir' crops are being injured by hop-
are" or other pests that they will ad—
,6 usyat once that we may be of
L " resistance to them.

senic mixture for cut—worms‘may also

TROUBLE WITH IRELAND
(Continued from page 7)
free speech that’s America. They
can go to any church they have a
mind to. But America first of all.
What’s the trouble in Mexico? Not
enough public schools and too many
private schools. You say they fought
side by side in the war if they had
the ruling power we would have a
rebellion right here in this country.
That is the trouble in Ireland, they
have the majority. Nothing but
public schools will save America
where the Catholics have a majority
in this country they are closing the
public schools. I ask you is that Am-
erican. I know people that wanted
to send their children to the public
school and the priest interfered and
had them sent to their school..Now
this is’God’s truth. Now is that
American. Now if you are for Amer-
ica come out for public schools. I
am an American first and last and
all the time, I would like to sign my
name but .I live among them and I
dare not d

After a

different parts of Minnesota, Prof.
Cooper of the State Experiment Sta—
tion finds that dairying is most prof-
itable in- the “Holstein Section” of
the state

In 1905 the average profit per cow
Wis only $10.10. In 1909, it had
increased to $38.45 per cow, or 43
per cent on capital invested. Increase
was due to improved herds, purebred
H-olsteins having been substituted for
grade beef breeds. As soon as dairy-
ing is put on a systematic basis, the
Holstein cow comes to the front. .If
facts and figures mean anything to
