MACK OVERNOR ALLEN, of Kansas, ’ G voiced a popular demand, the other day, when he urged upon President Wilson the import- ance of investigating the '- Chicago Board of Trade. There are thous- ands of honest men and women in this country all of whom would be delighted it the government would close that den of confidence men and short-change artists which does buss ‘iness under the name of a grain ex- change. During the last few months many of us have been asking our- selves the question—Why did the. government permit the resumption of gambling in grain, after having prohibited it for so long a time? It gambling in grain and hog products was not expedient during War-time it surely is not expedient now, dur- ing the trying day of readjustment. During the early days of our history as a nation, we are told that things were quite diflerent but for the last 20 years, the progress of this coun- try has been held~back by two great scourges-——The election of a president “everyfour years and legalized gamb- ling in food products and stocks. , When the Government relinquish- ed control of the grain markets of the country there were many who predicted an immediate slump in selling prices; the record shows that not only did wheat tail to decline but it advanced and held firm until option dealing was again resumed. The question naturally arises—Why did wheat hold up after the govern— ment support was removed? There are two reasons (1,) Everybody, con- ’ nected with the business, knew that it was costing as much to produce wheat as it was selling for and they were willing that the farmer should, at least, get his money back. (2) There was another reason why wheat did not go down when the government let go. The Chicago gang of form players were not permit- ted to use it for a pawn in connec- tion with their conscienceless gamb- ling operations. That organized band of pit traders, with which the Chicago Board of Trade is‘ equipped, was not permitted to plan and con— duct a 'bear raid on prices by repeat- edlyj‘ofi’ering down" the market, sell- ing small quantities short, e'vening up at the first opportunity and then 'selling short again. ’ Since June 1, 1920, No. 1 Red wheat has declined $1 per bushel. Will anyone claim that a bushel of wheat is really worth 81 less than it was four months ago? The crop was known to be short then; it is known to be shorter now. Europe was starving for bread then, she is starving for bread now. .Why, then. should the selling price decline so much at this particular time? The answer to the above question is not far to seek. The time is near at hand when the farmer must market his crop; he cannot borrow money, therefore, he must sell his wheat. Taxes and certain other obligations will soon be due and he must have the money, to meet them with, so he draws his grain to market and sells it for a price far below the cos of production. ' Manipulation of Markets 'VThere is'in this country a large army of men who make a business ' oi'merchandising the products of the farm; they are well organized into an association that includes all al- lied.trade interests; each branch or- ganization watches closely all mat- ters. that naturally come under its jurisdiction, the whole system work— ing i‘to‘the' one general purpose, namely,” the scaling down of the : s‘eiiingwiprices of farm , products to E’che lowest possible level, just at the o L Rank Market Manipulation NE 0!" THE most eilective agencies in reducing the selling value 0 of farm products is the custom which permits men to soil large quantities of something that they do not own and never bad If dealers, on the Chicago Board at Trade or on the New York Stock Exchange, were limited in their operations as business men are in other departments of trade, much of the crooked- nees, for which both of these organizations are noted, would be elim- inated; in other words, it a broker, who. odor-ed to sell grain or pro- visions on the Chicago Board of Trade, was obliged to give prima facie evidence of ownership before making the tender; or if the purchaser of ten thousand bushels of grain on ’change was obliged to actually pay the real money for this grain, the world markets for farm pro- ducts would soon become much more stable and reliable. the ranked: market manipulation could have caused corn to sell below $1 per bushel last week. No other systun of trade, except the one which permits a broker to sell a million bushels of wheat that he does not Own, would have caused Decembu' wheat to sell down to $1.85 the money enough to buy. other day. Nothing but time when the farmer must sell. One of the most effective agencies in re- ducing the sell- ing value at farm products, is the custom which permits men to sell large quan- tities of some- thing that they do not own and never had mon- ey enough to buy. If dealers on the Chicago Board of Trade or on the New York Stock Ex- change, were limited in their operations as business men are in other depart- ments 01 trade. much of the .‘crookedness for which both of these organiza— tions are noted, would be elimin- ated: in other words, if a brok- er, who offered to sell grain or provisions on the Chicago Board of Trade, was obliged to give prima facie evi- dence of owner— ship before mak- ing the tender; or if the purchas- er of ten thous- and bushels of grain on ’change was obliged to actually pay the real money for this grain, the world markets for the farm JUOGGNG THE FARMERS' MARKETS Farmers’ Grain Committee Gets to Work HE GRAIN marketing committee of seventeen, represented and ratified by all farm organizations held its first meeting in Chicago, 0c- tober 4th and 5th. This is the first d‘eflnite stop ofall farmers of Am- erica to create a grain marketing system which will eliminate specu-‘ lation and stabilize prices. The com-1 mittee divided into five sub-commit- tees to make a special study of co— operatives marketing methods, cost of marketing, storage and transpor- tation, consumption and export and finance. The committee on co-oper— ative marketing methods will make a study of every type of marketing organization in the‘ United States and report to the next meeting. Prominent Marketing Men to Speak At the next meeting to be held November 4, 5 and 6, men of prom- inence in theagricultural and mar-' hating-field will .be asked to address the committee. These men are E: T. "Meredith, Secretary of Agricqu _ture; Victor Murdock, Chairman "of the Federal Trade Commission; Ju‘l- ius Barnes, United States Wheat Di- rector; Herber Hoover, Bernard M. Baruch, L. F. Gates, President of the Chicago Board of Trade, Harold G. Powell, Manager of the Califor- nia Fruit Growers’ Exhange, also a representative of the National Mill- ers’ Federation and of the Canadian Council of Agriculture. When Chairman Gustafson of No- braska asked each member to express his idea of the work to the commit- tee, the unanimous point brought out was the necessity of each man to sink his own individual pet ideas and go at the problem with an open mind, ~ready to take the best of all sug- gestions and arrive at a unanimous conclusion which the farmers of the entire country can tie to. , A Statement to the Public ' After the two days business ses-i sion, the committee issued a state- ment to the public. warning against the slashing of grain prices and de- . (Continued on page 17) products would soon become much more stable and reliable. Nothing but the rankest market manipula- tion could have caused corn to sell below $1 per bushel last week. No other system of trade, except the one which permits a broker to sell a million bushels of wheat that‘he does not own, would have caused December wheat to sell down to $1.85 the other day. Deceptive Practices Permitting the sale of commodi- ties that the seller does not own is certainly a deceptive practice but if it Was the only deception practic- ed in connection with, so-called, legitimate Board of Trade transac- tions, the problem might be easier to solve. To anyone who desires to gain an insight into the intents and purposes of the coterie of brok- ers which dominates the Chicago Board or Trade, the writer would suggest that they make it a point to be present when one of the reg- ular annual landslides; in food pro- ducts, is being staged; they would witness some very peculiar market phenomena, it is true, but they can rest assured that what they are per- mitted to see on these ocasions will not be a “marker” to what they do not see. They will possibly be present when the deluge of made-to-order. mar- ket statisticsis let loose: the men who originate the formulas for mak- ing these joy-killing concoctions, are past masters in the art of deception and when the inexperienced operat- or on the Board becomes permeated with the doleful sadness which. they exude, he will not be hard to con- vince, that before the market turns for the better, every commodity on the list will sell for something less than “nothing a opnnd." Tel- egrams, purporting to come from the growing fields where the Red Bug and other dire disasters are said to be rasing havoc with the farmer’s hopes, are flashed before the eyes of the poor fellow who is on the wrong side of the market. The dominating idea seems to be the de- sire to create a false impression in the mind of the inexperienced oper- ator and, thereby, to induce him to sell his holdings at a tremendous. sacrifice. Who, in this great coun- try of ours, is so callous and heart- less that he is willing to sanction the use of rank deception in connection with so called legitimate market op- erations? Consumer is Not Benefith It the consumer derived any ben- efit from the scaling down process described above, it would be differ- ent but the carefully arrapged de- tails ot this gigantic conspiracy against the American farmer, make it certain that the ultimate consum- er will derive no beneflt from the de- cline in prices. The producer is robbed, the consumer is mulcted and the market manipulator is permitted to feather his own nest. _ Is it possible that a government, whose motto is—the greatest good for the‘greatest number,——-will long permit the iniquities to go unpun- ished which are practiced in con- nection with the buying and selling of options in grain and provisions? If the farmers’ orgaizations of this country wish to accomplish some- thing in the way of real market stabilization, let them train their guns on the Chicago Board of Trade; let them use their combined influence to secure the enactment of a law which will make it a crime for ‘ a broker to sell commodities which’ he does not own or to buy more than 0 he can actually pay tor. , , :oes ‘3 W0 BILLS will probably be laid before the next session of the “ legislature relating'to the State Constabulary. One of these 'bills will ask for an increase in the ap- propriation for the organization; the other for its abolishment. The officers of the State Constabulary have at last admitted what we have long contended, that its force is woe4 fully inadequate to guard all the or— chards and capture all the unlicens— ed dogs in the state, and that if maximum results are to be obtain- ed the force must be greatly enlarg- ed. But this will mean doubling or tripling the present appropriation and before the people permits the legislature to do that they should first inform themselves fully regard- ing the work of the Constabulary and determine whether this organ- ization is necessary to the proper enforcement of the law, I hereby de- clare my opinion that the state con- stabulary is a useless, needless and costly organization which should-be» at once abolished. My reasons for so thinking are set forth in the fol- lowing paragraphs. For many years the laws of Michigan have been satisfactor- ily enforced by the civil authori- ties. During our war with Germany the Michigan State Police was cre- ated as an emergency force. When the war ebbed there was no longer any need for, the organization and it too should at once have come to an end. But the officers liked their soft positions and the administration found in the state police an excel- lent political machine, and both were loath to have the organization go out of existence. Consequently I bill was introduced in the legisla- ture to extend the tenure .of life in— definitely and to provide an annual appropriation of over $350,000. De-' spite bitter opposition this bill was passed, the friends of the measure using with good effect the deceptive ,' argument that a state police force ‘ was necessary to Curb the illegal liquor traffic between Ohio and Michigan, Ohio being then wet, al- though everyone knew that. within- a short time after the bill became a law Ohio would go dry with the rest of the nation. Be it said to the credit of the en— terprising officers of the Constabu— lary that they have made a valiant effort to justify their existence. They have trhed their hand at everything from corralling stray dogs to pub- lishing a newspaper through the col— umns of which they have kept up a persistent propaganda conveying the subtle insinuation that without the strong arm of the Constabulary to keep the lawless in check Michigan would soon become the rendezvous of all the desperadoes from Long Is- land Sound to the Golden Gate. This publication is supported largely by advertising wrung from manufact-' urers who dislike to chance the dis- pleasure of the Constabulary by re— fusing to advertise. What circula— tion the paper has no one seems to know. If the advertising receipts do not pay all the expense of publication we suppose the deficit comes out of the state treasury. There is anoth— er form of propaganda carried on by this military organization for which the state pays. Readers of country weekly newspapers have un- doubtedly noted many stories pub— lished therein setting forth 'the ‘ Can _Military' Organisation ‘ salaries will. cost the-state nearly 'smr your , dam: an :lEAR Larger " Needed.- In conclusion, MaJor Marsh reports: rural districts of a territory covering forty-two thousand square miles. prac- . ‘tically without police. protection ex- cept that furnished by the State Po- , lice, and of complying with the two thousand, five hundred. and one ,rre- 'Quest‘s for assistance received during the past year and which are constants known.

These stories appear frequently under such captions as, “smugglers, “caught” "big gamblers 'nipped in raid;" “Lieut. ‘Smith' marries;” “election fraud uncovered;” “orchard robbers. fined;" “Capt. ‘Jones’ gets furlough" etc. The reader is expected to get the idea that had it, not been for the State Constabulary Lieut.

He ' should knew that the ‘Same 'm‘en'Who charge to all papers that Will use ’ them and the the bill. . H The purpose and the result of this propaganda is plain. It appears, to show in a striking fashion that the Constabulary is filling a long-felt want in Michigan. It seeks to put the public mind in a state (pf-gui- esence if not acquiesence when the question of continuing the organiza- tion comes up before the next Aegis: lature. But thetaxpayers who _has been fooled by this sort of propa— ganda should know that it is prepar- ed and disseminated by those who taxpayers foot ; ;l‘ll will of political are wearing unifbrms and exercising military authority whenever their fancy dictates, at the expense of the taxpayer, are spending the taxpay- er’s money to convince him that he ought to perpetuate their jobs. It does not make the case of the Con- stabulary any stronger to admit that its force has enforced some enfr-ac- tions of the law. 7 When the record is played up. in news stories it'looks important, but consider the space it would take to tell all the accom- plishments of the civil authorities! The State Constabulary is not only needless but harmful. It seeks to appropriate unto itself the duties of the civil authorities. Indeed, if it functions at all, it must perform work which is essentially within the realm of the civil police. This fact quite naturally encourages laxness and incompetency on the part of the civil authorities. Why shOuld a sher- iff or a constable or a city police- man enforce the law and gain the friends who might be concerned in its violation whenall they have to do is to call 'upon the state constabulary to en- force it for them. _In scores of cases (or.

N PERFORMANCE of its first .- ' duty, the American Red Cross, v- through its millions of workers, furnished. 387,000,000- surgical dressings and garments to the hos- pitals and camps during the great World War. , . . It furnished aid and comfort to five million-fighting men and' to twice that number of civilian suffer— ers and refugees. The exact num- ber of these refugees will never be known. In France alone they num- bered 2,900,000. ’ ‘ Today the Red Cross is serving the 17,000 men and officers of the Unit- ed States army in Germany. From July, 1917, to May 1, 1920, $279,000,000 was spent by Ameri- cans through the Red Cross in bring- ing this aid to those who were fight» ing and __sufferi‘ng,in foreign lands.

America’s position is the same as that-of the farmer and to keep from being inundated by this flood of for— eign goods, we must receive these goods at our ports and redistribute them to other countries. We must cease to be a preducer only, and be- come a distributor, or rather hold on to the distributing business which we have gained during the war. To do this, we must establish our industrial independence; we must .I' She was built duran the progress of the great war. ned and operated by Americans; we must have free ports in America for redistribution of goods and we must have American agents in foreign ports who Will not only get orders for American goods, but will secure a return cargo for American ships ,and so KEEP THE FLAG FLYING.

Help the American Red Cross HE AMERICAN Red Cross is one of the world's greatest chari- \ For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920, this society spent $69,400,000 to help the sick, and house the homeless. The Red Cross is supported almost’ wholly by popular subscription. A dollar given to the Red Cross is a dollar given to help someone in need. The; Fourth Red Cross roll call will be held during the woek of Nov. 11-25,'1920, when every man and women is asked to affiliate with their local chapter and subscribe the annual fee of $1.00. noble work.

V Through the assistance of the Red Cross virtually every man in the service of the United States who was blinded, or partially blinded in service, has received or is receiving treatment and such instruction at the Red Cross Institute for the Blind at Baltimore, as willenable him to become independent to the greatest possible degree.

'Hpmem Servi'ce‘»? to every farmer, almost to his past— ure gate, the necessity for, apfirmly' established foreign trade carried on d, by an All-American Merchant Fleet. '1; The story was this: A certain " creamery was ordered to decrease its ,_ supply of milk. The order appear— 3. ed on its face to be a move on the ' part of milk distributors to force up the price of milk in New York City, and caused a furious protest. As a matter of fact there was no conspiracy. The. .order was a necessity be- cause the export trade in 3...; milk had suddenly fallen i} off. It had grown like a mushroom and faded as rapidly. Up to very recently, this country exported 884 mil— lion pounds of evaporated and dessicated milk. The milk was sent all over the world, chiefly to Europe, but it also went to Japan, to China, to India, to South Africa to every place on the globe. Now, however, milk exporters finding their foreign trade sudden-1y melting away, knew that one half of the milk sup- ply ofthe country has to be stopped for a while. The farmers were the sufferersw—many of them had to sell their cows, and are still selling them. On their part they were asked why they charged so much for their milk. They re- plied. “We are paying $52 a ion for middlings; we are paying $32 a ton for timothy; $31 a ton for al- falfa or clover. Comment— ing on these prices, Mr Ross says: “When out west I raised a good_ deal of hay, and I would be tickled to death if I got $19 a ten for the finest timothy ever grown. The dairy farmers now have to pay $32 a ton—think of it!” And so it could be traced right down to the core. But it all comes back to the fact that the farmer is directly affected by America’s for— eign trade relations and his. fortune depends on a well organized system of foreign trade which can only be can Merchant Marine. the Red Cross today finds pestilence, starvation, nakedness and death marching hand in-hand in Central and Eastern Europe. This winter these conditions will prevail in ag— gravated form. Under its charter obligations the American Red Cross has been fight- other plagues in Poland, the Baltic regions, Serbia, Albania, Monteneg- ro, Austria, Hungary and southeast- ern Europe. In order to avert tomorrow the suffering it mitigated yesterday, the new Health Service, built around the Red Cross Health Center, is trying by education to keep people well rather than to cure the sick, thus minimizing the spread of disease and preventing the 750,000 unnecessary deaths which occur annually from preventable diseases. The nurse typifies the Red Cross. The Nursing Service touches every line of Red Cross activity. Over 3,— 700 nurses are on the Red Cross roll, of whom 400 are still With the Army, 236 with the Navy and 1,000. are working in rural communities where they are in, constant demand.

OUT-OVER LANDS I wish you would publish all the in- formation you have pertaining to the re- forestration of cut-over and unoccupied Michigan lands.

F.. Fenton, Mich. With regard to the cut-over lands, would say the state oifers no specific inducement for settlers on cut-over : lands, except under the provisions of g the Michigan Securties 00., ' plications to homestead are the homestead laws, which admit ‘of prospecting certain lands on the basis of 100 an acre. The Public Domain Commission particularly withdrew all state lands from sale some years ago, because the lands were not considered desir— able for agriculture. However, ap- given careful consideration and under proper conditions are granted. In the last twenty years a good many ; thousand acres of state lands have been homesteaded successfully, and a good many thousand acres have proven unsuccessful. However, the State homesteads cut-over lands are comparatively small. The large ' acreage of these lands is privately owned. The Public Domain Commission has set aside a large portion of the state lands for reforestation pur- poses. They consider the best use that can be made of the most of these lands is reforestation. Shall be glad to furnish you any further informa- ' ‘tlon you may desire.———Geo. L. Lurk, Secretary Public Domain Commission, Lansing, Mich. It would appear from the above that you would have no difficulty in securing a tract of state land for reforestation purposes, although it is probable that the state has al— ready engaged in reforestation pro— jects on the majority of lands best suited to that purpose. We know of nothing which would prevent a group of individuals from acquiring and holding lands for the purpose you describe. Would suggest that you visit the Public Domain Commission and discuss your plan with Mr. Lusk He would be able to give you all the information you desires—Editor. ) TEXAS OIL PRODUCTS CO. I am enclosing some literature regard- ing the Texas Oil Products Co., which is selling stock in this community. Their agent says that their plant is nearly ready to begin operation and he prom- ises that the stock will pay enormous dividends. Do you consider this a. rea— sonably safe investment‘I—F. D.. Hes- peria, Mich. As a general thing we are sus— picious of stock—selling corporations that promise “enormous dividends.” As a general thing the capitalists of the big money centers do not permit a sure-thing bonanza to slip through their fingers to the piker investor. Withgovernment bondsat taper cent and rail securities only slightly high- er, what man of means and brains would long permit his money to re- main in such securities when “enor- mous dividend” payers were on the market. There are exceptions to both these rules. The Texas Oil Products Co. may be one of them. According 1:0 “t a Texas Oil Products Company of Chi- cago, Illinois, was approved, by the Coinmission under date of..June ,11, ,1920.

The letters are al- most identical in tone and wording and are of course, favorable to the oil company. Both-of them, however, bear the following reminder, her-stamped upon the face of the letters. “This information is given in confidence as an opinion courtesy for which no responsibility is to be attached to this bank or any of its officers." So far as we are able to discover the directors of this company are honest and responsible men. The facts seem to show that the company is actually working on its refinery and has satisfactory connections with crude oil concerns. All these facts, however,‘ do not necessarily assure the company of success. It must be taken into consideration that the anticipated profits are based upon abnormally high prices which soon- er or later must come down More- over, the prospective investor should remember that hundreds of keen brains are working upon substitutes for gas fuel, and sooner or later these will be discovered.

In view of the discouraging condition Which rule the market for basic commoditia web as cotton and manufactured cotton goods, wool and manufactured woolen cloths, hides. leather, rubber and sugar, ihere is very little-opportunity for business v expansion. Jobber-s and wholesalers [I I continue to defer making purchases, except in a hand-oo—mouth way and the continued decrease in the week- ly turnover of the big mail order houses, like Sears Roebuck & 80., and Montgomery Ward & 00., seems to indicate that the animate consum- er is confining his purchasing oper- ations to; the actual necessities of life. tion that the recent cut in the sell- ing price of many different makes of automobiles, has or will in the im- . mediate future, stimulate the taking of orders in this branch of the man- ufacturing field; on the contrary, there are many recent developments in connection with the automobile industry, that seem to indicate that the public is not buying pleasure ve- hicles at this time. Since the be- ginning of August, a large number , of business failures have been report- : I l ed and there is reason to believe that . this condition of things will persist during the remainder of the year. Some Improvement Seen Oontrasted with the rather dis- couraging facts cited above, there are unmistakable signs of improve- ment along certain lines. A marked improvement in transportation is re- ported from all parts of the coun- try. The freight jams and terminal confusion, which existed all the early part of the summer, have been re- lieved and a material advance has been made in the rate at which the traffic is moving. Another encour- aging bit of information comes in the form of the assurance that the general average efficiency of the Am- a-lean laboring man is increasing by leaps and bounds"; the above in- formation comes in direct and speedy fulfillment of a prediction made in this column week before last. While the strain upon the general trade sit- uation, the country over, is by no means relieved, bankers and other experts in finance are frequently heard to express the opinion that the strain upon credit has passed the “peak” and will continue to grow less as the season advances and the volume of business continues to con- tract; it is safe to assume, that with the slowing down in all business lines, less money will be needed to keep the wheels turning. Informa- tion concerning large yields of farm crops must be regarded as encour- aging news to the country at large but it would mean much more to the farmer, hyasel‘ f, if Insights and fix- ed charges for handling had not been advanced, during the last six, ‘months from 20 to 40 per cent. The tremendous, declines in grain and provision prices which have taken place on the Chicago Board of Trade have been very discouraging to farmers as a class and there is good reason to believe that the acreage of winterwheahtobesownihtfal will be greatly reduced because of the decline in cereal. Decline in Steel and Iron The demand for both iron an! steel-is said to be slowing down and an early decline in the selling prices of the former is confidently prediwad by those most familiar with the habits of the trade in this commod- lty; one of the reasons by which steel manufacturers have recently ac- counted for the high sinist- ural steel, has been the uniform firm- .ness of the entire iron and general hardware market.

Thestoeksofm- ious sugar companies sold 0! on the New York Stock Exchange, on Mon- , day'as a result of the closing of the banks in Havana, Cuba, which are said to hold sugar paper. One of the most significant de- velopments, in connection with the general business situation, is a re- cent marked contraction in connec- tion with corporate financing; stock and bond salesmen, the country over report a slump in stock sales. 'Dur- ing the month of August, this year, new financing of industrial, railroad and other business enterprises only equalled one third in amount of What it was during August last year. The first six months of 1930, how- ever, saw the issue of new securities equal to output of “the entire year, 1919. Bank clearings have recent- ly declined in volume and the de- mand for money, to finance current and future industrial operations, is decidedly slack. The Lumber Situation Fulfilling a prediction this column, week before last, a sharp decline in lumber prices, at re- tail, has been registered all along the line. Reductions amounting to about $12 per thousand have been made in southern pine bill stuff and cuts in about the same proportion have been made in many of the bet- ter grades of lumber. Retail lumber dealers in ails/ago, in order to stim- made in~ ulaie fall and winter building oper- ations, have cut prices on all dimen- slonlnmbertfrom28tc25peroont. Maple and oak flooring have been reduced from 17’to 30 per eent in the Gileago market and all other hardwoods are $8 per cent ,ylower flan on this date, last month. From the rural districts "of the country-at large, comes the information that, owing to the recent decline in the value of farm products, hundreds of farmers are giving up plans for many important building operations and are cancelling tentative orders, re- cently placed with their local lum- ber dealers; there are rumors, to the eflect, that dealers will make an of- fort to hold many of these orders by making material price conces- sions. . I Inflated Demand Ourtnlled That the demand for manufactur- ed goods, in many departmemis of trade, has fallen 'oif goes without saying but the reduction in the num- ber of bona fide orders placed dur- ing the current menth, is more ap- parent than real; it has been the practice of late, in many branches of trade where, deliveries have been slow, to place duplicate orders with several manufacturers, take deliver- ies from the first to oil's!- the goods and cancel all the other orders. It was often months after the orders were placed before delivery of the goods would be given; in the mean- time each manufucturer was count- ing his orders, never thinking that a half dozen more dealers might be counting the same orders. Now that deliveries are made much more promptly, the practice of duplicat- ing orders has been abandoned and "the cat is out of the bag." Conditions in connection with un- employment, are- growing worse every day, as time goes on and the problem,‘as to how the familtm of many laboring men in large dtles will manage to exist during the com- ing winter, is a serious one.

The members of farm organizations, in many districts, are signing agree-- mentsnot to sell wheat on current quotations and an early decrease in arrivals, at primary market psints, is anticipated. Bull operators on the wheat market are looking to the farmers for assistance in the big un- dertaking involved in the effort to boost wheat prices in the face of the general downward trend of nearly all other commodities. The current week’s business in the grain market opened on Monday with a strong upward trend and the concensus of opinion, among traders, seems to be that the entire list'ls over-sold and that prices will be crowded up much above present lev- els before existing short lines in the market can be evened up. Canadian wheat continues to be the bogey man in the equation; there have been rumors afloat, to .the effect that the Dominion government may soon as- sume control and prevent the ex- portation of wheat. Should the above rumors prove to be well found- ed it will be'regarded as a strong bull argument‘ by the “talent;” if Canadian wheat is permitted to come into our market, the verdict is that prices will very soon have another slump. In Chicago, on Monday, the visi-' ble supply in wheat decreased 625,— 000 bushels. In Minneapolis, spring wheat is holding just about steady.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS Beginning-early last week, a much better demand for killing cattle de— veloped all around the market circle .. and prices hardened materially, the first set back coming on Friday when all, except the beat grades of steer cattle, sold lower-4 than on the day before. A new high record for strictly prime steer cattle was made ~ last Friday, when two 'carloads of branded Herefords. averaging 1,- 375 pounds, sold for $18.50~ per ewt. Never before, in the past his- tory of the conntry, have fat steers been so scarce as now. All last week, up until Friday, butchers settle kept moving up' the ed, the falling on“ resulting from the small contingent cOming from the Owing to the light: range country. supply referred to above, rangers sold well all the week and in many cases at gains from last week that equalled fully $1 per cwt. Arrivals in the range cattle department, for the first five days, last week were 19,009 head as comparing with 27,- 800 the week before which was the largest run of the season. The buying of stockers and feed- ers is still being hampered by the lack of available money; even here in Michigan many old feeders with first-class credit, have been refused money by their banks, to use in fin- ancing long-term cattle feeding op; stations; they have been assured all the funds. they need for current shipping operations but absolutely no extension of credit beyond 30 or 6-0 'days.

Taken in the aggregate, it is safe to state that stockers and feeders show- ed a gain. for the week in the Chi- cago market, of 75 cents per cwt. The falling off in the arrivals of westerns, in Chicago last week was just as noticeable in the sheep yards as in the cattle alleys; one bunch of held-over western lambs sold for $13. The top for native lambs was $12.25 on Friday. Fed western yearlings sold up to $8, common aged ewes from $5.25 to $5.75, culls at $3 and canners at $1.60 percwt. Chi- cago reported a good demand for feeding lambs at prices ranging from $11.50 to $1 per cwt. Live Hogs and Provisions One of the recent developments in connection with the demand for live hogs has been a complete reversal in the demand for pigs since this time last week when they were selling at $1 discount from mixed hog prices.

Learned About HEBE He had heard many conflicting stories, regarding this new food’ product—some that it would injure and some that it would benefit the dairying industry. Desiring to form his opinion from facts rather than hearsay he started out to investi- gate. During the course of his investigation he called at the offices of the Hebe Company and asked some-very searching questions. “I have been told,” he said, “that HEBE is being marketed as evaporated - milk or a substitute fer it. Is this so?” “It is not,” was the reply, “HEBE is produced, labeled, advertised and mar- keted as a distinctive dairy product for use in the home as a cooking and baking ingredient.” “But some dealers sell it as, or for evaporated milk” he objected. “There are such cases of ‘misrepre- sentation,“ was _the reply, “but they "arebecorning'fewer' each day due to r the widespread campaign of education a which the Hebe Companyiisconducting by: which-the consumer is learning the 7 exact nature and uses of HEBE and the dealer is bein‘gémade to realize» thathis greatestp'no’fit'lies in selling the product for just what it is.’.’ He Wasshown the' methods employed by the Company to correct misrepresentation on the part of the distributor and misuse by the con- sumer. His attention was ,directed to the! label which specifically states what ’7 HEBE is 'and its uses. “15' not the real purpose of HEBE to develop a market for c'ocoanut fat rather than a market for skimmed milk?” he asked— . . _ “Dccidedly not,” was the reply. “To - make every hundred pounds of HEBE it takes 210 pounds of skimmed milk and only 7.8 pounds of cocoanut fat and this small amount of non-dairy ingredient is used for the sole purpose of supplying the large amount of dairy ingredient with the shortening and other elements necessary to make it desirable as a cook- ing medium. It is no more true that the skimmed milk is used asa vehicle to bring cocoanut fat to market than is it true that butter is used to bring salt or ,‘ice.cr.eam to bring‘gelatine to market. These non-dairy ingredients all serve "the same purpose—tomake the dairy ingredients better for the uses in- tended.” A f‘How will the sale of HEBE benefit the j dairy industry?” was the next question. “By developing a human food mar- ket for skimmed milk” was the reply. Government reports were produced which showed that yearly over 30 bil- lion pounds of skimmed milk was not finding its natural and' most profitable market as a direct human food. The statements of government and other authorities were read to show the need of creating such- a market if the dairy industry is to best serVe humanity and itself. HEBE, it was pointed out, is one means to this end. _ . V “How will this benefit all dairymcn?” he next asked. I “That which benefits the industry as a whole must benefit each individual member,” he was answered. “Every can of HEBE sold and every bit of adver- tising put out is helping to educate the public to a greater use of dairy prod- ucts. The ice cream industry is a paral- lel case. Every dairyman, whether he ships his product to an ice cream factory or notbenefits by the increased demand caused by the use of nearly 4 billion pounds of milk yearly by the ice cream manufacturers.” ' ' " “Why are you advertising HEBE in the farm paperSP’I he asked. “For no other purpose” he was told, _ “than to give other dairymen as we are giving here to you‘the facts of HEBE in its relation to the dairy industry so that these men may have a complete and ac- curate knowledge of the subject and form their opinion. of our product and our company from facts and not from prejudice or from mis—statements on the part of wilful or uninformed persons.” At the close of the interview the dairy- man visitor expressed his satisfaction at the frank and straightforward answers given to his questions and made this sig- nificant remark “If every dairyman who now sees in HEBE a menace to his busi- ness could have the opportunity of going into this subject with you as thoroughly as I have, I ‘am sure'he wouldsee HEBE in an entirely different light.” .

Clemens, Mich. Grant Slocum and the M. B. F. E LEARN that because of Mr. Grant Slocum ’s former connection with the Business Farmer some people have the notion . that he is still identified with this publication. As a result some of the country weekly news- papers have credited him with certain articles and editorials which have appeared in these columns the last few months. In justice to both Mr. Slocum and ourselves it should again be stated that he is not connected in any way with this paper. .- It is true that in its early days the Business Farmer was fortunate enough to have resort to the splendid organizing genius and the re- freshing editorial viewpoint of Mr. Grant Slo- cum. But because of his many other duties which had prior claim to his attentions he was obliged to give less and less of his time to the Business Farmer, and when in January lest he was chosen president of the National Glean- er organization the duties of which required his whole time and attention, be disposed of his entire holdings in this publication to the present publishers and has not contributed an article or taken any part in shaping the poli- cies since that time. The names of all these having a hand in the editing and publishing of the Business Farmer and the positions , they hold are given at the top of this column where any changes that may be made in the personnel will also be noted. .- ' I Mr. Grant Slocum’s retirement from the Business Farmer does not mean that we. have lost him as a friend, for we believe he is just i as anxious today as ever that the Business ‘ Farmer shall prosper. In fact, we are quite 'sure that if we should at any time in the fu- ture request Mr. Slocum to contribute a signed article to these columns, he would gladly com- ply with our request. Believing that our read- ers would enjoy an Occasional article from his ‘ virile pen we, shall most assuredly extend him the invitation. Sugar Prices and Beet Contracts HE SUGAR beet grower should not over- look the fact that,there is a definite rela- ' tion between the trend in sugar prices and what he is going to get for his 1920 crop-of beets. It is now plain that he will not'recelve the $16 or $17 which the manufacturer prom- ' ised him last spring as an inducement to grow beets. The Michigan factories are already of- 4 faring their 1920 output at $12.90 per cwt. for future delivery which is dead-sure evidence that. they do net expect the market price to go above that figure before they are obliged to sell the major part of their supplies. It is conceivable that the sugar market may ' go so low as to enable the manufacturers to settle for beets at the minimum price of $10. It is highly improbable, ’ however, that prices_ will reach such depths :astto. cause the menu-- ‘ {lecturers themselvesany less. It‘is I that "the sugar ‘ beet ; content is say; '63 ,. ‘ w: erf'rs are wonderin ~ * Ackerman, president of the Beetfi‘Growei-s’ Ass’n, anpunces that he vigorously renew 7 his efforts for a conference. On the other hand the Farm Bureau has announced a meet- ing of grower representatives October _19th, to which the officers of the Grower's? Ass-9n have not been invited. What the plansmf-the Farm Bureau may be we knoweth not, but we do know that if the Farm Bureau seeks to solve the sugar beet problem‘without the counsél and. co-operation of the Beet Growers’ Ass ’n, it will quite likely come to grief. ' There should be harmony between the two. There must be harmony between the two. The Beet Growers' Ass ’n cannot win without the 'Farm Bureau and the Farm Bureau cannot win without the Growers’ Ass’n. There are enough "farmers outside of the ranks of either organization to grow beets and defeat any efforts which either organization might put forth. Let them join hands and they will have a, combination that cannot be beat. ‘ I Premiums IN THE good old days before the war you O could get a premium with almost anything you bought. But high prices put a kink in the premium business and the consumer gradually learned that he usually paid for the premium in the long run. Today about the only prem- iums you can get are with certain brands of cheap cigarettes and cheap farm papers. When the manufacturer of a well-knownar- ticle or the publisher of an established news- paper olfers a premium as an inducement to buy he admits that either his product is not worth the price he asks or he cannot meet competition on merit. The majority of farm papers will not oifcr orcmiums to prospective subscribers. They do not believe that the practice is sound or even- lcgitimate. You cannot get a premium with such publications as the Country Gentleman, Prairie Farmer, Saturday Evening Post, Farm and Fireside and scores of other high-class publications which we might mention. You cannot get a premium with the Business Farm- er. There are a number of farm papers, how- ever, which have built their circulations and maintain them through an elaborate force of selling agents who are prepared to offer almost any kind of premium or inducement to sign up a subscriber. , The Business Farmer has never ofiered a premium to any subscriber except as a reward to secure additional subscribers. We do not believe the practice of giving premiums is sound or even legitimate. We believe that the money spent in premiums could better be spent and should be spent in giving the subscribers a better publication. :If we cannot make this publication interesting enough so that farmers will pay our regular subscription price for the paper itself we shall never admit our fail- ure by giving away as an added inducement a lot of cheap truck camoflauged to' represent something of value. Labor and the Farmer E HAVE contended and do contend that the interests of the laboring man and the farmer are not identical. We do contend, how- ever, that in many respects they are similar. Is it through fear that these two classes may some day recognize the similarity of their‘in- terests and join hands for mutual betterment, that such concerted efforts are being made to ' bait the two against each other? Much prop- aganda that comes out of the Washington head- ._ quarters of a certain farm organization harps upon the high wages that are being paid to laboring men and their effect upon farm wages. It would almost appear that some folks would have the laboring men work, for nothing .if they had their way about it. V - Just how high or low wages should be under present and proSpeCtive living conditions is a mooted question. The laborer himself natural- ly centends that wages are. not, too high and cannot revert to their former low level. The ' c , , . is s, “tract they are going to have 1921. ' 0.1+}. : ,.. thahlso V ' r I. the hours of labor the'vfarmer is told that the shorter «the recognized- ' . Wl‘fins, ' day of the city the shorter it must be upon the farm. This isonly partially true. Men who nature—of the work is'such that hours must be uncertain and some times long. If the farm J'Ob ofiers them any advantage over the city Johflmy know that it must be in some other direction than in the number of hours they work each day. The living conditions ‘upon the farm and in the city are so, radically dif- ferent that we cannot believe the average work- er will be swayed in his choice by the slight . ‘ difference in working hours. The man who likes the city will’stick to, the city; the man who likes the farm will sooner or later seek the farm job. " ' - It is not fair to the millions of industrial workers to compare their hours of labor and their wages with those upon the farms. The only standard by which these things should be measured is the scale obtaining within the city itself. If employers, clerks, lawyers, doctors, dentists, waiters, stenographers, et cetera, work nine and ten hours per day there is no reason why the man who works at day wages should not put in equal hours. But, is there any jus- tice in demanding, that the wage earner shall labor ten hours per day when everybody eke in- the city knocks OR at the end of seven or eight hours. The laboring man would have for less, , is over his hours of labor if his fellow workers holding clerical positions in of- lies and store set him’a gwdmample by doing ' a full day’s work themselves. But this th prefer not to do, and those who are in a p03- tion to reach the farmer’s ear seek to arouse his animosity against the laboring man by tell- ing him that labor’s demands are diametrically opposed to his interests. 7 We refuse to believe that. the farmer will align himself with any scheme to restore the old scale of wage conditions in the city. Bar- ring the unmoral and unreasonable demands of certain labor leaders bent upon destroying in- dustry and erecting a'soveit oligarchy u its ruins, the farmer is, we believe, in sym- pathy with the laboring man’s effort to insure for himself a living wage which will enable him to rear a family, educate his children and have enough money when he dies to keep him out of the potter ’s field. If not, then our faith in the milk of human kindness is rudely shaken. He Profits Most Who. Serves Best ‘ IN THOUSANDS of American and European cities there is an organization called the Rotary Club. I want the readers of the Busi- ness Farmer to know something about this Club because I hope to see the day come when its work will be duplicated in our rural com- munitiee. Active membership in the, Rotary Club is I . confined to one member from each class of ' busine and profession in the city. Usually the firm represented is the leader in its class. This limits the membership and makes every member individually responsible for perform- ing a certain share of the Club ’8 work. That is unimportant, but the service which this Club is rendering, to humanity at large is important and deserves consideration. In the language of the Club, Rotary means ~ service. Most men join clubs and lodges and other organizations for whatthey can get out of it in the way of business, political prestige I or social standing. Men who join the Rotary Club with any such ambition in mind soon learn that they are not wanted. A member’s standing in the Rotary Club is gauged by the amount of time and effort he is willing to ex- pend in promoting the purposes of the, Club. ‘ 1n otherwords the Rotary Club idea is to give _ to get. Busy men, many of whom ‘ rather th: _ value their time at several dollars. per hour giVa up whole days “going about doing good,- * in crippl' ed eh flag . renof the poor, themands'ef when have Tl. ,' are espec' ethane-tots v, ,, : ployed a. a; work is limiterfimmt tram ’mfllmm, “"1 WW“ 19° W“ b at Nations, which would My; 01' Wt, 'ogotlstlc stranger? . , ...r m A0'.flel;‘“fst2ope of‘work carried on by the Reg “17 Clubs,*hut when I say that every member ‘ -> of, the organization take as his motto, “he < .profits most ‘who serves best,” and honatly to live- up to that ideal in the conduct 01 his business and in his relations to the public, our readers will, I think, appreciate the great .emeunt ofgood that isbeingde'ne by this or- ganization. . v We have a common notion that the people of the cities are inherently and essentially selfish. We have a notion that in the rush and swirl of city life there is no time in which to think of others and perform some kind deeds in their behalf, but exceptions should be noted. Self- lehness is not confined to the cities. Every human being is by nature selfish. It requires 'e good deal of introspection, a good deal of perseverance and a good deal of mental effort to think in terms of others instead of terms of Ielf. Not all the people of the country are free from this common failing, though let it be laid to the glory of the majority of country folk that unselfishness and generosity are two of their most outstanding traits. In Rotary Clubs and like organizations in both country and city the spirit of helpfulness can be fest-I cred and humanity uplifted. ‘ . Storing Food Products WRITER in the Rosenbaum Review ad- vises farmers against storing food pro- ducts at terminal markets. “Large suppli at terminal points are always a bearish factor on the market," he says. Mebbe so, mebbe so. He might have added but he didn’t that large supplies at terminal markets are always dis- comforting to the speculators for they never know what the owner of the supplies is going to do. The speculator who gambles on imaginary holdings of grain does not want the actual grain in sight. That is not according to the rules of the game. Actual grain holdings rep- resent something tangible which can be seen and might raise the regular old nick with the Ichemes of the speculators. To gamble sue; eessfully on grain there must be no grain in light. _An ideal speculative market is one in describe in "an: the" opium of p. spective supply and other intangible factor; ' Of course, as Aaron Sapim says, farmers _ are nothing but babies in this marketing game. The real giants of the markets are the men who have made their fortunes in grain. It may be revealing our. ignorance to even dis- cuss the practice employed in the Chicago grain pit, and perhaps we invite the ridicule of. the grain gamblers as many others speaking for the farmer have done when" we declare our belief that the farmer should own both local and terminal elevators and warehouses where he may store his grain and his vegetables, transporting them from one point to the other as the weather, transportation and demand seems to warrant. We have witnessed so many times in the past a situation in which farmers have held enormous stores of farm products at local points while consumers at terminal points have been almost entirely deprived of them. The only way in our judgment that the farmer can get any advantage from the fluc- tuations of the markets is to have his goods at consuming points ready to be put into the channels of trade the moment the demand is felt and the price offered is satisfactory. Losses to Farmers T HAS been estimated by the Farmers’ National Council that the declines in the values of wheat, corn, potatoes, apples, cotton and [beef cattle from July 1st to September lst, represents a loss to the farmers of one and three-quarter billion dollars. Price declines since September lot will easily increase the loss to two and one-half billions. Here is food for thought, not alone for the.“ farmer but the nation at large. Can this loss to the farmer be met without serious im- pairment of the nation’s prosperity? In these , days of trouble and reconstruction when the bubbles of inflation are bursting and nothing seems enduring, the world at large turns to agriculture, the basic industry of all. When the air castles of speculators and frenzied fi- nanciers tumble about their heads like a house built of cards there is always relief and com- fort in the thought that the firm hand of the farmer will stay the catastrophe that impends “League of Nations Issue AbOve All Others” UCH has been made of the hi bugaboo that it we join the League American boys may have to be sent to Armenia, China or quality r deposited in the ablea these titutions to firm as their pet- rons and carry them through fimmial ‘ on 'It is, the farmer’s cash spent for farm supplies and the necessaries of life which keeps the" wheels of] progress going. Deprive the farmer of profits to 'which he is legitimame . entitled and you take from agriculture taining power. The farmers will feel keenly this huge loss of potential revenue. The policyof the Fed- eral Reserve banks as outlined by Secretary of the Treasury Houston does not permit these banks to make excessive loans for the purpose of holding commodities for higher prices. , De- mands from farmers for additional credit to hold over their crops will meet with little re- sponse from local banks which must discount their notes with the Federal Reserve banks. This means that a large majority of the farm- ers will be obliged to sell their products in the near future at prices which will spell actual loss to them. As the National Council points out, there in danger in this sithation to the entire nation. Agriculture has received many setbacks in re- cent years but the worst of all is now impend- ing. National safety demands that the farmers be permitted to secure credit with the same case as those who deal in their products or those whose money is invested in other lines of business. National safety demands that the farmer be encouraged and assisted in every possible way to weather the storm that is rag- ing in the markets and threatened to devastate the agricultural industry. I saw some nice apples on a fruit stand in Detroit the other day, and I asked the vendor if they were Michigan apples. He hastened to assure me that they were not. He handled only the best—grown in California. The price? Ten cents apiece, three for a quarter. What did you say? I did, too. If you don ’t believe it costs money to man- age,—or shall we say, mismanage,—the state of Michigan, turn to page four of this issue and be undeoeived. Says Noted Educator over to the other crowd? Benefits of the League If the United States heartily on- Améa to light battles in which we have no concern. They may, it is true; But wlthout the League, but million American boys had to take up arms , to light In Europe. _And without the League a similar crisis is likely to arise any day. Would lt not be better to have a few Ameri— cans In an army to help police the world than to have the great body of American manhood called on any minute to help put out a universal con- lhgratlon? Against National Selflslmess We talk of the Monroe Doctrine. We fear for our independence. We dread a Superstate that shall boss us. We denounce the Leaguers as plotting to sacrifice our nationality. Can’t .we stop to think about other nations? Don't we realize, that every one of them is more Jealous of its own national sovereignty than we are of ours? . They have been trained for centuries in national pride. And if they are Willing to give up a part of their independence, for the sake of the limit— lae advantages of cooperation, can not we? Not even family life} is possible without mu— tual concession, compromise and self—sacrifice; how much less is world-life. the life of the Human , family! The League of Nations means Progress, Cour- '- “e, Humanity, Opp sition to it means Reaction, Oowardlc'e and Provincialism. Men who move van and earth to keep America out of the ague are far worse enemies to the race than c Kaiser ever was. ‘ ‘The League of Nations is not a far-off question, one of politics and diplomacy that does not con- oernyou and me.

No- body profits by war except profiteers. Only Partisans Oppose It The league is favored by the great majority of Thinkers, by Philosophers, men in Universities and Churches, by the American Federation of La— bor, by Writers and by all who are concerned in Public Welfare. It is opposed by one class only .—the partisan politicians and those influenced by them. ' ' The kind of Feelings that prompt us to enter the League should be looked at and compared with the kind of Feelings that oppose. The League is idealistic, its opposition materialistic. The League lmplies Optlmlsm, belief in human- ity, confidence n the honor of other nations; its opposition implies Distrust, Suspicion, Hostility. The League is in line with every Noble, Chival- rous, Manly sentiment; its opposition is Captious, Sheeting, Ungenerous. The League will promote Race Understandings; its opposite, Race Hates. The League spells Co-operatlon as a world pro- gram; without the League there must be eternal cut-throat Competition. The League of Nations moves with the great spiritual current of humanity. Every religion except the fierce heatheniems of national propa- ganda. has dreamed of some sort of universal peace to stop war, the most monstrous curse of mankind. Christianity, J udelsm, Buddhism, Con- fucianism, Bahalsm, all have had the dream. If we do not join, what else can we do? Can we stay out, and remain torever isolated from the rest attic world?

And if we succeed in our noble experiment, if we establish a League of Nations, and ll! we dis- arm, think ot what we can do with the enorm- ous surplus of wealth which the race ls constant- ly piling up, and which heretofore has been burnt up in powder! What enormous public works we can undertake! What magnificent programs of education we can set forward among the earth's backward populations! .

Does it mean nothing to you, business man, that gigantic taxes may be enforced on you to keep up a huge army and navy?

FRESHENING UP YOUR WARDROI‘E U WILL find that some of last i season’s frocks are perfectly good but lack the trim modish- ness which we all like our clothes to have. It really is not a difficult mat- ter to give the slight alterations and inexpensive touches, which will bring last year’s garments up-to- date. This season the blouse effect is much worn, giving the long straight lines which suggest youthful slend— erness. If you are somewhat tired of that white shirtwaist suit which you have worn a couple of years, try altering ,in this manner. Procure one of the blouse patterns, ripe the shirtwaist under the arms and cut it off evenly at the waist, or even a little above this. If there are marks which Show where the waist line used to be, lay the back (you will not need to rip it all up) on the blouse pattern, cut the additional lower portion necessary to make it iong enough. You can plan torjoin this straight across with a little pip— ing, or you can let the lower part come up on the waist slightly in any tailored design you desire. Lengthen the front in ,the same way. Join the seams, finish the bot— tom and front and make a narrow string belt which will tie, or a broader belt which will fasten in front. One young lady remodeled a i-l-lit in this way using pique for the lower portion of the blouse, and cuffs a id collar and she had an attractive suit. ' Another gown of foulard silk had been worn two seasons and although perfectly good, the owner tired of it.

A piece of thin quality voile'of the same shade with white figures in it, was found and a long loose blouse made of-this. The pieces saved from the old waist were fashioned into a string belt finished at the ends with blue and white tassels. -When a sheer white collar was added, a very effective cos- tume was produced at a cost of less than $3.50, as the owner of the dress did the sewing herself, and although she is employed daytimes she man- aged to finish it in a few evenings. In another instance an old white figured crepe de chine which had grown quite yellow was delicately tinted a pale lavender with one of the popular soap dyes. This gown was freshened with net sleeves of white with little embroidered dots, put on the edge with lavender floss. A sheer collar of the not with a bor— der of dots made a really lovely gown; The last year’s hat.which was some— what sunburned was given a dress- ing of pale violet hat dye and from some rich white silk ribbon flower petals were made and laid flat upon this hat crown. Then a few artifi- cial green leaves from old hat trim- mings were added.~ The white silk petals were fastened in place with long stitches of pale rose floss and under the brim a border of white beads, also held in place with a pale rose floss, were added. A touch of black in the form of a string 6f; ‘jet beads made a decidedly Frenchy costume, the whole outlay for which had been less than $2.00. - A Party Gown at Small Cost A resourceful young woman who wanted a dainty party gown for some social affair, which she wished to at— tend, found herself with exactly $4.50 on hand to spend. This amount seemedhopelessly meager in 'view of 4 what the other girls would have. She knew she would have to make the dress, but the $4.50 seem— ed .so small for the materials and she had nothing to fall back upon except a pair of rather yellow white canvas pumps. This is what she did. First of all she visited a lace' cur— tain department where she found a single pair of soiled but fine and really handsome lace curtains, there on account of their condition and the fact that there was only one pair remaining, had been marked down to $2.50. The net was excellent and the all over design dainty and the edge firm. She took. these curtains home, soaked them in cold water, then. in luke warm water. This treatment was followed by another in warm soap suds, to which Borax was added. The curtains were only patted and squeezed—not wrung. They were then rinsed, blued lightly and put through a bath of thin starch. After this they were care- fully pinned down to sheets laid upon .the carpet. She did not wish to ,use curtain frames for fear of tearing the edges or leaving pin holes, how— ever, a neighbor told her afterwards that had she put a sheet on the cur— tain frame and adjusted them to the ’right size, she could have done. the work quite as well and much easier.

' TO HELP RURAL COMMUNITY RECREATION , N THE daily papers there recently appeared a rather lengthy repori -- of-a most able address“ made by Mr. Frank B.

But there was a crowd of us and one wanted to See the dolls, and another wanted to see elephants and each had a special thing they wanted to see so we went in pairs. ,I Went with a girl and we wanted to - win a doll so We tried until we were tired and finally I got one. and then I was too tired to carry it around. We went on the ferris wheel and just as we got to the top it stopped and it sto - pad with such a jerk that It set all t > seats rocking. We got off when it came time and then it was nearly noon so we started out to look for the car. Just on we got to the grove it started to rain- We ran but of course we couldn't run 'away from the rain so we got wet. We kept on looking for the car but we couldn’t find it. We looked for about an hour, then we went back to the fa!!- grounds and had a bottle at par and s sandwich but that did not at sfy us, so: we started our search for e car mill. ,Well after a little we found it and. where we went past it all" the time. afternoon passed and we bid I» very good time.

The Jackson County Fair The" day that I am speaking of in Thursday, September 16, 1820.. We started about 8:30 a. m. Took our dinner with us, of course, it was not time to eat dinner when we got to the fair grounds. We parked our car out in the center of the race track and wale back to the Automobile Building where we saw lots of niCe cars, and there we each bought a ticket on two Jackson and three Briscoe‘ automobiles. We saw a fine display of vegebe which were also in the Automobile Building. Up- mire/m some consul fruit that was canned by the Jackson County Canning Club, which is made up of the children of Jackson County and there were also drawings and fancy work. From. there we went out where the tractors were. There were four different kinds of tract- ors. We went from there to the Cattle Building. There were a number of dif- ferent kinds of cattle. They were brushed until they shone. The horses all looked ve nice. There were many large ones, re. were many fine sheep and. hogs also. From there we went back to the car, when we ate our dinner. While We were eating our dinner some friends came along looking for their car. The woman said she thought they park- ed their car in the third row back from- the race track. When papa and: I had finished our dinner we went to help them find their car and when we did was in the: seventh. row back instead of the third. . Soon: utter we all went back to the outside of the race track. Two girl friends and I rode on the ferris Wheel and then one of the girls and I walked around the nee trad. The girl that was with me won a half pound box of candy and I won a pound box. Later we went over and saw the dis- play of poultry. turkeys, rabbits, doves, skunks, muskrats, minks and red foxes. vwhich was all very fine We also saw an aeroplane sailing around and turn-' lug over and looping the loop. As we were getting ready to come home we went over and saw the Child- ren’s Exhibit on stock and then we went over where our car was. We were about fifteen minutes getting out of the center giggle race track, We got home about Dear Uncle Ned—--I am writing you a few lines to tell on about the time I had at the fair w th my cousins.

The next day theré is often a shortage on the markets for the very commodity that the farmers had to haul home. The investigations includes a long list of truck growers names who hauled products home. A Franklin Park gardner took home sweet corn because he could not get over 20 cents for a bag of four dozen. On Monday, September 13, pro- ducers received an average of 16 cents a dozen for sweet corn; on Wednesday .8 cents, and on Friday 9 1—2 cents.

PALMER REJECTS PACKER PLAN ' [Attorney General Palmer,— two days after his return from New York where he went to takecharge of the investigation of the Wall Street bomb explosion, filed ,a petition in "Federal District court opposing the acceptance by the court of the Pack- ers, petition—the so-called - Prince Plan—for the disposal of the stock- yards. This plan in brief was for the sale of the yards, eleven in all, to the F. H. Prince & Co. of Bos- ton, a holding company under terms and conditions which would permit to packers to holdup to 49 per cent of the stock in the holding company, in pay for their holdings in yards figured at par value plus 10 per cent. The Attorney General opposes .this on many grounds. One is that the transaction would of itself be a vio- lation of the anti-trust laws by per- ,mitting an authorizing F. H. Prince & Co., to monopolize the stockyard business of the nation. Another is that the relationship known to exist between F. H. Prince & Co., and Armour & 00., make it objectionable. Another is the experience of the gov- ernment with F. H. Prince & Co., “in- their organization of the Chicago Stockyards Co. There are numerous other grounds cited. The final hear- ing is to be October 7, in Federal- District court, Washington. All the farm organizations repre- sented in Washington oppose accept- ance of the Prince plan by the At- torney General and the District court as a substantial compliance with the court decree requiring the separation of the packers from the stockyard business. years)», and Dane county, -Wiscon- "am (6'9 farms, dairy region, 5 years).

Dean Hunt long been interested in the problem of the Institute. He was one of the delegates of this government at the last meeting of the general assembly and spent-much time then traveling over Europeand studying agricultur- al conditions. He went to «Europe in I» September, 1918, as a member'of the . commis‘siOnsentiby the United States »Department of Agriculture to make a study of agricultural'cOnditions in the, allied 'countrie‘s: During his oe- reer as an agricultural college men he has served in" Illinois, Ohio, New York,‘ Pennsylvania and California. His wide knowledge of agricultural conditions in America, coupled with his extensive investigations in Eur- ope, make him an exceptionally well- 'qualified man to represent the U. 8. at the International Institute. The International Institute of A3- . riculture is concerned primarily in gathering world statistics of crop production and crop movement. The United States Department of Agri-' culture has requested Dean Hunt to confer with the delegates from oth- er agricultural countries and to 11 improvement of the'work, especie as it pertains to movements of agri- ~cultural products in trade. Under the present system of gathering ste- tistics, a c-olmmOdit‘ypan not be an.- curately‘followed'» after it changes form. That is to say, while absolute track may be kept of wheat :10 long as it remains wheat, practically all track of it is lost'after it becomes flour. The same is true of wooland cotton after they are converted into cloth or other manufactured articles, and of variOus other staples. Until a system is perfected whereby all countries supply this information, it will never be possible to give’corroot information as to world supply of any products.

The one particular phrase which seems to‘ be so vital to the manufacturers is that the legis- lature may enact laws relative to the hours and conditions of labor under which “men, women and children may be employed." The amendment consists in the insertion ot.the word “men‘s, I ‘ The manufacturers opinion of this law as reported to the Farm Bureau isthat it is not necessary to have any legislation enacted covering the hours that a man may work, that in a great many caes the industries and flabor unions have enforced a short day, to the detriment of farm- ers and that short hours have re- sulted in many men leaving the farms. A statement by the Michi— gan Manufacturers’ Association says, "If this Constitutional Amendment ‘ is adopted, it leaves the way open for the radicals in the State ' of Michigan to have the legislature enact an eight hour day for men." s: ’o o o The State Farm Bureau reports that it is only a matter of a few days until twenty elevators will have signed contracts with the elevator exchange department and the work of the exchange begun. Eighteen such contracts have already been made. . t t t I Twenty—tour counties had been notified by the state farm bureau of a conference of the sugar beet grow- ers at Lansing to consider the co-op- erative marketing of the 1921 crop. The counties which will be repre- sented at this meeting are Tuscola, Saginaw, Sanilac, Isabella, Gratiot, Huron, Bay, Arenac, Wayne, Shia- wass’ee, St. Clair, Ottawa, Monroe, Macomb, Lenawee, Lapeer, Genessee, Midland, Ingham, Clinton, Eaton, Al- legan, Gladwin and Menominee. v , U I " . From the very beginning the at- tempt of the seed department to or- ganize the state for the handling of guaranteed seed has been a big suc- cess. All counties in the‘lower three tiers have signed the seed contract with the exception of Berrien, Ing- ham and Barry. Twenty-four coun-' ties have ofliciaily signed and several more have expressed their intention of signing soon. vThose which have already signed the contracts . are Branch, Kent, Livingston, Washte- naw, Monroe, St. Clair, Calhoun, Kalamazoo, Van Buren, Wayne, ‘Hillsdale, Clinton, Macomb, St. Jos- eph, Montcalm, Eaton,. Wexford, Jackson, Lenawee, Mason, Cass, Oakland, Ottawa and Allegan. ‘ ' I" t t I! .A’ new purchasing department has . been established which will be oili— cially operating soon.

THE CONDENSABY SITUATION I ANALYZED , The present predicament of the condensed milk manufacturers and also, though to a somewhat lesser degree, manufacturers of evaporated milk and milk powder both whole and Tat—free, is or course due as pre- dicted, to the rapid development of this industry during the war and thus stimulated, little consideration Was given to the building of a do- mestic and permanent market for these, products, says H. D. Wendt, Sec’y Michigan Allied Dairy Ass'n. In consequence when war closed, stocks began to accummulate very rapidly and in direct proportion to the slackening export demand. Pres-_ ent stocks involve practically the peak of production costs. This is especially true ‘with reference to sweetened goods put up with high priced sugar making it extremely hazardous, with values tumbling as at present, to continue operations and until present stocks have been reduced to a normal basis and values again stabilized. ‘ Conditions mentioned in the pre- ceding paragrraph affecting the con- densed and evaporated milk and milk powder industry will no doubt have a psychological eifect on butter val- ues aside from the general trend of lower prices. Fall production of butter is especially promising. This, augmented by the raw material that 'has been going into the manufacture of condensed, evaporated and powd- ered goods along with the prospect of heavier stocks and perhaps dimin- ishing exports; and .with present storage stocks slightly above the last year average, would make the future of the butter market seem somewhat nervous to say the least.

The-security and peace of mind felt by the owner of hugs; whom” had them. immunized, 'is certainly cheap at 50 cents per hog. ’ \ There-are reasons "why it is much more‘important now that 'all hogs are vaccinated than it ever has been at any preceding date in the history of the state;_ the main consideration is the wide and very general distri- bution of the infection.'w.hich is at? ..tested to by the frequent outbreaks of late in different parts of the/state. The .disease germs, without doubt. exist in many localities in‘Whlchas yet no outbreak has been noted, The owner of hogs, which have not been treated, who feels secure from hog cholera infection is not over-confl- dent butvis quite likely to have an , outbreak of cholera on'his farm that will cost him ten times as much'as the expenseof-vaccinating his hogs for a lifetime. 'Breeders, who are indulging themselves in feeling of false security, should not'forget that there are many infection carriers, at large in the land, whose migrations from one farm to another, cannot be controlled nor guarded against, ex- cept by immunization. ‘ According to the reperts made/by state Officials, in charge of the Work of immunization, many of the recent outbreaks of cholera, here in. ‘ this state, are' untraceable'as far as de— termining the source‘of the infection is concerned; the inference is up} avoidable, namely, that rats, cats, dogs or birds muSt have brOughtvthge germs from some distant farm, for in many cases the outbreaks or th’ disease 'would be from five) to 2” miles apart. ' There * ‘a‘r'e_ 'rsev'ers'l elaborately advertised ; veterinary preparations... which are recommeth ed as sure preventatives against cholera when they are fed to ‘ the hogs accOrding to the directions that are printed on the box. Many breed;- ersers throughout the Unitedstat‘es, who. haVe tried nostrums like those described above and depended on «them to keep their herds free from disease, are, now sadder but wiser men. of this article, there is no way to control hog cholera, except by im- munization. . 1 Not many months since, the writ- er was discussing the habits of hog cholera with a prominent citizen of Wayne county, 'Mich., and during the discussion made remarks similar to those that appear above. The gen- _.t1eman with? WhOm he was talking, said that he was then feeding 70 hogs garbage from Detroit and that he kept them healthy by the abund- ant use of charcoal; a serious out- break of cholera has since occurred and the owner found it necessary to bury 35 fine animals. THE LAST ‘WORD .IN STATE FAIR LIVESTOCK' . . When everything has been said, and we haVe become tired of talking about_ fashionably bred Swine, we come, back,‘ with pleasure, 'to that wonderfully hardy and prolific hog, the Spotte‘d Poland China. The show- ing made by the above breed” at the state fair was a meritorious o‘ne,'~isoa ing as it did a. red—hot competition put up by the'leading ho breeders- of Michighn "ahd'vthe enit re 'middle West. only oneMichigan herd fac- 9d: Judges, this yearyln ‘ this “clash ~ audidhio‘; has: .39,ng meson " to proud of the(threefi‘enidiksblb‘herd We]! ycomplbtéd“t_hst¥ “exhibit; - otthei’il‘rap nken f a *gre‘atl‘rn by local” this state and from the state‘ot?‘ 4 « alence of hog” cholera; 'lt is u’dODlO‘I‘ . .u, The cost of 1131-” ‘ In the opinion 'of the Writer‘ ' made-Ion bet he .5. hastening. -,"p:1‘1.z§'.8' ‘ inf 11.1.19 ' Hampshire division Was abattleroy- .el...betw_een someoi ,the'finest speci- flnens of belted hogs thajtiever came .mgethm in this country; only one .bflreede'rfrom"Michigan, George Coop- .Sons, Mariette, Competed for wires. in this class“, The Mariette Dramas a line herd of. hogs, leaning _:yfe;ll.tor,the bacon type and they car- riedaway their full share of the priz- '.es.._,'i‘he Hampshire hog is not as ' wfitfell known here in.

The Phillips herd won third on senior yearling sow and third on junior sow pig. The Brookwater herd as usual was in .fine fit and captured its full ‘share of the prizes.

Who in all the world is it that does not admire a snowowhite hog; 'it is true. of- cOurse, that under fil- thy surroundings white is far from a “fast color” for hogs but the beauty of it “is that they look the best when it pays the best to look well, namely, when they are hang- ing on the hooks. Experience has proved that among hogs that are White in color, there is no breed that haemade a better record than the 0. I. C. and the -state fair exhibit, this year, was a representative showing of this splendid breed.‘ C.

When she is lying down and a tempts to get up she raises up on her‘ front feet and moves around side- ways a little before getting up. When she does stand up she is l humped up and 'walke as though her front legs or feet hurt her. She eats good. I have a heifer that when she came in last spring cast her weathers. For a long time she! could not get up. She seems to‘ be coming along all right now. but I am afraid to keep her for fear she will have the same trouble if she has gaggle:- calf—Mr. G. A. W,, Bridgeman, This is a case of Lamlnitis, or in- flammation of the entire sensitive structure of the feet. The trouble is all in the feet and by tapping on them lightly with a hammer. you will observe how sore and sensitive they are. You have a very bad case and recovery depends, to a very great ex- tent, upon how long, the case has run; if she has only been affected ifor a ’month or so recovery would {be favorable; while on the other hand, if the case has gone on for several months, under. the best of care and treatment recovery would be slow and doubtful, and unless the animal is young and reasonably valuable I would advise you to put her out of her misery. In very bad cases we often get a condition known as dropped sole; the sole be- ing forced down by the intense in— flammation. Not having‘stated how long the case has run I will outline treatment for both. If animal has not been affected more than a month or so poultice the feet with equal parts of linseed meal and bran; pour cold water on poultices two or three times daily. Internally give one dram of potassium Iodid three times a. day, dissolved in a. little water. If the case is of long standing use the same treatment internally and in place of the poultices thé mixture given below is to be applied around the top of the foot each day with a stiff brush; keeping the applica- tions up for two or three weeks. Rx.—Tr. Can'thraides; Oil Caju- put‘; Oil Terebinth, as. one dram; Tr. Iodine, 3 ounces. M. Your cow has obsterlc-al paralysis a. condition which follows only those cases in which the calf is exceeding- .ly large or a. long time in aifecting delivery. It has been my experience that paralysis in these cases will not develop where the cow, if lying down when delivery is affected, is immedi- ately made to rise. Every means must be used to get the animal upon her feet at once and when. this has been ‘done, someone should, remain present to see to it that she remains up for at, least ‘two hours, during which time a little milk should be giyen every twenty minutes. If the 'cow is on her feet when the calf'ls delivered every effort should be made to jk p\hér up for at least two hBu'r ‘ every ten or, twenty minutes during this time. mend this "as a certain preventive of this condition.

D.. »~Wheelor, Mic Vomiting is rather common in \swine and is the result of stimula- tion of the vomiting center, which is located in the brain. This stimula- tion may be direct from irritation to the nerve center but more frequent- ly from irritation from some por- tion of the intestinal tract. Vomit- ing is therefore a symptomof a va- riety of disease conditions; it may be caused by engorgement of the stom- sch, nature having provided this method of relieving an overloaded stomach. Intestinal obstruction is another frequent cause of vomiting in swine as is also irritation of the lining of the windpipe, and more es- pecially the stomach, Worms also cause suflicient irritation to produce violent vomiting. Swine asea rule vomit; the affected animal becomes uneasy and restless. They extend the head and depress the nose; the.~ abdominal muscles contract, and the stomach contents are thus forc- ed out. The vomited contents usual- ly consists of particles of food mix- ed with mucus, although it may be composed entirely of thinyshiny mu— cus. The expelled material may con- tain intestinal as well as gastric con- tents in cases where the vomiting is caused by an overloaded or disor- dered. stomach, wood charcoal should be given .in from one to three tea.- spoonfuls doses (according to the size of the hog) in the feed twice daily. If caused by worms no better treat: ment can be given than one part dried powdered sulphate of iron, one part salt and six parts powdered gen- ,tion and give each one hundred pound hog one half teaspoonful’in the feed three ' times a week—Dr. W. Austi Ewalt, veterinary editor. ‘ INTERNAL HEMORRHAGE Will you please tell me through you? Veterinary Department what ailed my pig. It was a. June pig in’ good condi- tion.

Farmers, who own young hogs, are evidently com- ing to, their senses} and will elect to feed them out toga satisfactory fln- ish. An active demand for lard and cured meats, from the other side of the ocean is reported but the volume' of domestic trade in hog products is feeling the effects of unemployment and other untoward influences. The number of finished hogs, that are available for the current needs of the fresh. meat trade are far below requirements; the fact is, that the hogs‘that should becoming now were sent forward as pigs, earlier in theiseason, the direct moving cause being the high price at which corn was selling. Detroit Market Details Detroit had a good cattle market, all last week but on Monday of this week, large arrivals of extremely common cattle cut the foundation from under prices and the mid-week business was no better than condi- tions that existed on the opening of the month. One of. the most discour- aging conditions, connected with the Detroit cattle market of late, has been the absence of buyers; the big packers have been in the market for cattle only at infrequent intervals of late, leaving salesmen completely at the mercy of the Hebrews, nearly all of whom are noted for their close- buying proclivities. Veal calves continue in light sup- ply in the Detroit market and pric— es hold steady with a 19-dollar top. Sheep and lambs sold well, early last week,’but toward the close last Thursday, a load of scabby sheep was discovered and the sale. of sheep and lambs, to go back to the country, had to be discontinued; the shippers of the diseased sheep in- sisted that they thought they were alright, but in spite of that sweeping claim, they were made to pay the of disinfecting the sheep yards. The owners of diseased animals will find it cheaper to dispose of them in the country by the very direct route of death and burial, than to run the risk 0! sending them to market. The Detroit hog market has been playing to better business, of later prices paid on this week's opening day be- ing nearly on.a level with Chicago. Owing to the small number of hogs ready to kill, a fairly steady trade is looked for in this department for the I remainder of the current month. _ 'j; ' or.» Mir-.ot-«finnciad- conditions in cube ‘pi’gs from. ,‘the, . xv. where several banksh’ave been clot adds a result of holding toolarge' an amount of sugar'paper of very uncertain. value, pervades the entire sugar trade.

DETROIT PRODUCE MARKET Wholesale Prices The local poultry market is in a very bad shape this week as a re— sult of last week's over-supply in this department, trade is very dull and prices for the stale stock, still on hand, are quoted sharply lower. Not much demand was noted during the early part of the week but, inas- much as only small arrivals are ex- pected this week , a fair clean-up is looked for before Saturday night. The market for calves and hogs is dull and steady. Butter and eggs are both active, the current supply of the latter being far below the needs of the trade. Tomatoes, are practically out of the market. Pears are scarce and higher; other fruits and vegetables are dull and un- changed.

James Equipment not only cuts labor. in two, but .makes it possible for children to do work that with- out James labor—saving devices would require a man’s strength; chore time becomes almost play time for boys who work in the barn. Cleaning The Barn The easy running James Carriers turn the disagreeable, dirty task of cleaning out the barn into a near- pleasure. They make a boy’s job of what used to be shirked by all— and are an investment that pay profits of 25% or more a year in labor saved. , James Scrapers make quick work of cleaning cement floors; the James Stanchions, with the James Align- ment Device, keep the stalls and cows clean, by aligning the cows at the rear, so that manure falls in the gutter and not on the platform. Feeding The Cows The easy way of feeding the cows is the Jamesway—the James Feed Truck or Feed Carrier, and James Feed Mangers. Rolling eas- ily along the track or on the cement floor, the James Carrier or Truck make unnecessary the ‘ lifting of heavy baskets filled with feed. With their big, roomy tubs they save much walking to and from the feed rooms, and in a short time pay for themselves in labor saved. . Watering The Cows What a job this used to be in winter time—keeping a fire going in the old time tank heater, or breaking the ice in the tank so that the cows could drink. ' > I And how they hated to drink— with. the north wind howling, the snow or sleet driving, and the, drinking water icy Cold. ‘ No wonder the milk yield dropped in' winter time—for feed that should have, goneto make the milk was used to warm‘ the cow, and the water needed to make milk was never drunk. .
