Because

Michigan’s Educators Denounce It

University Regent James 0. Martin,
says:

I am against the proposed amend-
ment for a number of reasons :—first
and foremost—it appears to me it is
dishonest.

University Regent Frank B. Leland,
says:
I thinkitis Un-American and in my
opinion its incorporation into the
basic laws of the commonwealth
would be unwise. '

Former Regent Chase 3. Osborne, says:

The movement sgeirnt the Parochial
Schools is unwarrented, unwise, mis-
directed efl'ort and, in so far as it
destroys something signed and sup-
plant: itwith name, is unjust. "

Prof. H. C. Vaughn, Dean of the School
of Medicine, University of Michigan,
says:
I do not believe the amendment is
wise,—-I do not believe that the State
should interfere with parents in sel-
ecting the school towhich the'n' child-
ren shall go.

President Stringltarn of the Detroit
Board of Education, says:

The enactment of such a law would
be a mistake and a calamity.

President Franli Kedsie, of flu Mich-
igan Agricultural .College, says:
' I am not favorable to the Anti-
parochiel Amendment.

University Regent Benjamin S.
Hanclrett, says:

I am earnestly opposed to any pro:
position that wind result in the
closing of Parochial or my private
schools that maintain a proper stand—
ard of instruction.

President Charles McKenny of the

Stage ‘is Set for Renewal of Sugar Beet Figh-

Michigan State Farm Bureau and Growers’ Association Prepare Plans for Final

HE SUGAR beet issue is very
much alive again. The Michigan
‘ “‘State Farm Bureau and the Grow-
ers’ Ass'n have vied with each other
in digging up the corpse and parad-
ing it before the eyes of the manu-
facturers. Simultaneously with the
mouncement of Pres. C. E. Asher-
uan that "the management of the
Onwars' Ass'n feels that the work-
ing out of the present situation will
convince all growers and factories
that a conference is the proper thing
as it is too uncertain to depend on
PROMISES of big prices," comes also
the announcement that the Farm Bu-
I has held a conference between
‘u representatives in boot grow-
oounties for the purpose of adopt-
a standard contract that will
recognize the State Farm Bureau as
a. ‘selling" or “negotiating" agent
for the boot growers of the state.
Drop in Sugar Prices Big Factor
It must be conceded that the great
I”) in sugar prices has materially
altered the situation and the senti-
mnt which prevailed a few months
ago. The practical certainty of mid-
summer that growers would receive
1‘ or $17 per ton would have been
a frost in a flower garden to any

hopes for a conference and a more"

“affable contract the coming year.
Int with that certainly now only a
doubtful possibility, all growers will
feed more friendly toward any plan
looking to a fifty-fifty division of
the profits. It is known also that the
manufacturers are “up a stump" to
ow what kind of a contract to of-
the growers on the 1921 crop. In
such a situation as this it would be
fully as much to the interests of the
manufacturers as the growers to get
together and talk things over.
What Growers’ Ass’n Has Done
Manager Ackerman does not want
anybody to get the idea into their
head that the campaign conducted by
the Association last year was alto-
gether a failure. He says it wasn't
and bring forth some pretty convinc-
ing proof to bear out his statement.
Here is what the Growers’ Ass’n ac—
complished.
lst. It wrung an additional con-
cession of 43 cents per ton for all

hosts grown last year, or $494,000.
‘ Ind. The factories received and paid '

for 100 per cent more dirt than they
ever took before which amounted to
over $685,000. (We hardly call that
a fact to. be proud of or a credit to
either farmers or manufacturers.)
8rd. The growers got a big fat prom-'
ins of $16 per ton or better which
will amount to ‘f f f . 4th. The
factories came across as a last resort
to insure their growers a supply of
best workers and agreed to pay out
of their own pockets the diflerence
between $26 per acre and $36 per
acre, which amounts to the neat sum
of $1,630,000, or a total of $2,609;-
000. Ackerman says that none of
these concession would have been
made had it not been for the fight
put up by the Association.
Farm Bureau Gets Into the Field
The Michigan State Farm Bureau

which gave a small measure of sup-*—

port in last year's fight plans to take
a more aggressive part in the next
campaign. To this end a conference

was held in Lansing on October 19th '
when the following representatives

were present:

Mr. Berridge
outlined the pur-
pose of the meet—
ing as one to
bring the sugar
beet growers of
the state together
for discussion of
their mutual prob-
lem in the mar-
keting of their
crop and for the
purpose of arriv—

facing the sugar

was all too gen—

ers who grow su-
gar boots and that
the success of an
organized move-
ment will depend
upon sympathy
and friendliness
among the grow-

ers.
Phillip O’Con-

nell of Sanilac

said he didn’t

 

grow. sugar beets
this year and that
he had found that
other crops paid
just as well. He
maintained that
many other peo-
ple have found

He said that 'the

sugar refiners of
Michigan written
to ascertain whether co-operation on
a sliding scale contract for 1921
could be gained from them and the
replies were read by Assistant Sec-

rotary aware of the State Farm
Bureau.
A discussion followed. Each

county representative being given an
opportunity to outline conditions in
his county and sentiment there.

Clarence Oviatt of Bay county said
he was glad that the call for this
conference had been issued early in
the season because the growers
would now have time to thoroughly
organize their forces. He said the
people wanted action and that they
were r entful of the drop in prices.
The sugar beet industry, he said,
was good and should be maintained
for it had paid more debts in Michi-
gan than any other crop.

John McAlpin of Tuscola said‘ that
the time has come for the state farm
bureau to take up the preposition

take hold of the
. .. proposition.

Otto Pobanz of Huron said that
the sugar beet growers must build
11D a tight organization similar to
that of the California Fruit Growers.

C. E. Ackerman of Shiawassee
said that the growers should be en-
titled to one-half of 14 per cent
beets, regardless of where the sugar
price goes and that they should be
entitled to all the sugar they want-
ed produced from their own beets.

A. J. Smith of St. Clair said one
of the reasons why the sugar beet as~
sociation did not make a success of
their movement last year was be—
cause it did not successfully cover
the sugar beet producing territory
in Michigan.

W. D. Willson, of Lapeer said that
the conference must remember that
neither the farmers nor the manu-
facturers will be driven, both must
be shown that it is to their interest
to conform with organization plans.

George F. Histe of Midland said

 

\ '3 01‘}? i’

 

 

 

 

 

W'W“MW“FN."?~M“°HW

Kit; {‘5‘

that the farm bureau of Midland
county grew out of the sugar beet
fight last year. They were only tem-
porarily dismayed by their first re-
buff and were looking to the state
farm bureau for help.

Harry Carr of Ionia said, “Mass
organization is the way to accom—
plish things. Do you believe that
we farmers should stand shoulder
to shoulder with the A. F. B. F. and
the Michigan State Farm Bureau to
get our Just dues?” All answered
“Yes."

Thomas Price of Saginaw county
said, ”We must form a plan to or—
ganize the sugar beet growers of
Michigan and federate them with the
sugar beet growers of the United
States. It makes no difference who
gets results as long as we get them.
Let the farm bureau go to it and we
will stand back of it.

Mr. Bingham, secretary of the
state farm bureau said that he was
satisfied that the manufacturers
were not ready to co-operate at this
time. The state farm bureau had
waited and found that the promise
that the manufacturers had made
had not been fulfilled. He said that
there was no way out of the situa—
tion unless individual growers sign-
ed up contracts and turned them
over to their organization and guar—
antee a forfeit for non-fulfillment.
Nothing will put agriculture on its
feet better than to win this fight. If
growers are not willing to sign up
it is hardly forth trying. It is prob—
able the growers believe that never
in God Almighty's world can the
sugar beet growers stick together, He
said that he believed the entire acre-
age of the state with the exception
of 30 per cent of it might be con-
tracted through one organization.

The opinion was expressed on the
part of a few that 90 per cent of the
sugar beet growers could be induced
to contract their crop through their
association.

Mr. Thomas Price of Saginaw
county moved that the convention
name a committee of five members
to draft a plan to be resubmitted at
another convention which shall be
called together by the chairman of
this committee. The following com-
mittee was appointed: A. J. Smith,
C. E. Harriett, Clarence Ovlatt,‘ L.
E. Kirtland and Thomas Price.

A meeting of the above commit~
tee was scheduled to be held this
week to work out the details of a
plan of procedure. The outcome of
the conference will be announced to
our readers later. '

Progress in the “7est

Many of the western growers, es-
pecially in Utah and Idaho have suc-
ceeded in convincing the manufact-
urers of the advantages of a confer-
ence and have thus been able to
very largely overcome the difficul—
ties between the two. Facts '.4 bout
Sugar assures us that, “officials of
the Utah—Idaho and other companies
say‘that negotiations with the farm-
ers over heat contracts for 1921, now
under way, are making encouraging
progress. They indicate that the
contract will probably take into ac-
count the sugar content of the boots,
as well as the price of sugar, in fix-
ing the scale of prices to be paid the
growers.”

Why should any Michigan grower
be satisfied with less than this? Why
should the manufacturers expect
Michigan growers to accept a con.
tract on a less favorable basis? The
large sugar content of the 1920
beets ‘will pay the manufacturers
large additional profits. of which the
growers will not geta red cent.

  

      

       
     
        
     
     
 
 

  
    
  


  
 

HE ELEVATOR exchange depart-

ment of the Michigan State Farm

Bureau, in the process of de-
velopment since last April, began
business October 20 with 23 elevat—
ors using it as selling agent for grain
and beans.

The membership of these elevators
has paid a $200 membership fee.
given its negotiable promissiory
note for $500 and signed a contract
with the exchange that appoints the
“Elevator Exchange” its agent for

‘ marketing all grain and beans. All
but eight association have signed up
to sell hay through the exchange. ,

These twenty— three elevators are
the nucleus for what the state farm
bureau and the Extension Depart-
ment of the Michigan Agricultural
College believe will become and ex-
change organization of between 100
and 200 elevators handling the major
part of the grain business of the
state. When the national “Commit"-
tee of 17” has formed a plan for the
co—operative organization of the grain
business of the country, Michigan
farmers will be ready to take their

' place and their part towards the suc-
cess of that plan.

The business of the exchange is
directed by a Board of Control which
is elected by the membership of the
elevators, each association getting
one vote. The exchange, like all
other departments of the state farm
bureau is under supervision of the
Executive Committee of the farm
bureau. Any elevator in the ex—
change may withdraw at any time
between the first day of June and
the first day of the following July.
Each local elevator or association is
responsible for its pro— —rata share of
the contracts, debts, and engage-
ments of the exchange. '

Future Prospects ‘ ,

What the future business of this
exchange may develop into this, and
succeeding years can only be, surm1s~
ed. What they have done in the
past has been collected from most
of the associations and is represent:
ed in the following figures.

The business of eighteen of .these
elevators last year amounted to 456
carioads of wheat, 170 carloads of
cats, 225 carloads of rye, 116 car—
loads of beans, 170 carloads of hay.

The total value of the property of
these eighteenelevators is $484,000,
making an average of
apiece.

The business in dollars and cents
has been obtained for only twelve of
them. These twelve did $5,367,000
worth of business last year, or an
average of $447,250.

The total capacity of 19 of these

the meeting whereby small associa-

tions whose 1olume of business did

not exceed 10 cars per year could

provides that the membership of
small associations sign a contract
and comply with the rules and regu-

HE NATIONAL Milk Producers’

Federation, which held its an-

nual session in Chicago recently,
has come out flat-footedly for the co-
operative manufacture of dairy pro-
ducts and co- -operative distribution
of raw milk. It has conceded that
in no other way can the prices of
dairy products be stabilized and the
losses of the dairy business turned
into profits. 1

This federation has heretofore
paid little attention to the advant-
ages of co—operative marketing. It
has been satisfied to confine its ef-
forts to encouraging the organiza—
tion of local associations for the pur-
pose of treating with condensaries
and distributors in' the matter of
prices, contracts, etc. It has felt that
by thus organizing local units of
milk producers a control over the
prices of their products might be
established. It is this that some
benefits have been enjoyed as a re—
sult of this :plan. But recent devel—
opments. show that while it may
work very well when the demand for
dairy products far exceeds the sup—
ply it breaks down when the situa—
tion is reversed. The federation has
learned by experience that to really
have'control over the marketing end
of the dairy business the milk pro—

‘ducers must do the marketing them—

selves.

‘F‘At the Federation's recent meet-
ing, reports were given from nearly
all sections of the country,” says Milo
D. Campbell, president. The ma-
jority of these reports were of a
rather discouraging nature. They
told of scores of instances of farmers
being deprived overnight of a mar—
ket for their milk by the closing
down of condensaries. They told of
the slaughter for beef of thousands
of head of dairy cattle, and other in-
dications of stagnancy in the dairy
industry. _- Reports from states
where 'the producers had learned the
value of co~ ~op_erative marketing were
more encouraging. “The reports of
this nature were truly wonderful ”

,pondent.

says Mr. Campbell. “Boston, the
center of the New England Milk Pro-
ducers Association reported co- oper-
ative manufacturing, with a profit of
nearly $200,000 over and above all
manufacturing 'costs, depreciation,
etc. This was after the farmers had
been paid the full market price in
advance for their milk. Other efforts
at co-operative marketing were alike
encouraging.”

The ‘truth gleaned from the reports
submitted at the convention was that

the condensaries being almost en-
tirely controlled by monopolies _were
able to manipulate the prices of
dairy products at will, despite
fact that they consumed only about
five per cent of all the milk produc—
ed. These factories are usually lo-
cated in sections where there is no
competition and there is nothing to
prevent them from raising or lower—
ing prices‘to‘suit themselves. This

of the section from $150,000 to

are employed in the operation of the

the company is ideally fitted for the
dairy industry, and while the indus—
try in that section is only in its in-
fancy, it is believed that it will de-

eventually equal or surpass the in-
dustry of any other section in the
state.

Chief of the Bureau of Soils, The Man to Whom Soil

OME YEARS ago a group of high-
ly respected men in the United
States predicted dire things con—

cerning the soil of this country-—
that before leng it would lose its
power to produce crops and that the
then fertile fields would be barren
wastes. It was a very alarming and
gloomy picture and caused quite a
deal of discussion. The prophets
called upon a certain scientist of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, an expert on soils, to write
a paper for them on the subject, ex—
pecting, ~of‘course, that he Would
back up their theory.

This man was Milton Whitney, now
Chief of the Bureau of Soils. Now
Mr. Whitney had some ideas of his
own on the mat.t_er He prepared
the paper, but he took issue with the
gentlemen in question, and pronounc—
ed.a theory. directly opposed to
theirs. His doctrine was summed up
thus: . 1 ‘ ,
Can Not be Used Up ,

“The soil isthe one indestructible,
immutable asset that the nation pos—
sesses. It is the one resource that
can not be exhausted; that can not
be used'up. It may be impaired by

. abusenbut . never destroyed.”

This does not mean, says Mr.
Whitney, that there have not been

individual failures through poor man— ,

a-gement of the soil by individuals or
communities. There are many fail-
ures in all industrial and commercial
life, and the farmer is not exempt
from similar limi ation of capacity

months right here in Michigan. Pric-
es have been lowered by condensar-
"ies with little if any notice to .1 the
producer, and during the last month

in the state have closed down. Un—
der the present system the farmer is
utterly helpless. To kill his cows
is economically foolish and to go on
producing milk for which there is
no market is economically foolish.
He stands, as it were, between the
devil and the deep sea. Had be con—
trol of the condensaries of the coun-
try, which would put him in a posi—
tion to learn the “inside” of the
condensed milk market, he would
be able to foresee such a period of
over-production, as the condensaries
“claim we are now passing through,
and gauge his own production accord-
matter for a dairy farmer to slow
ingly. It is a comparatively simple
up production if he has a year’s
notice that to do so is advisable. Cur—
tailed production in any line can us-
ually be accomplished without much
loss if preparations are begun well
in advance, but when the market is
cut off short and without warning,
the operation is usually attended
with and followed by a large eco-

nomic loss to the producer. Out-
right ownership of condensaries,
cheese factories and distributing

plants would give to the farmer a.
weapon that he could use in any‘
emergency and protect his business
for all time to come.

The National Milk Producers’
Federation recognizing this truth has
appointed committees to investigate
the co-operative successes in the dairy
sections of the country and to formu-
late plans and advices for ma g this
movement nation-wide. Other arm or-
ganizations will be asked to lend
their active assistance to the co——
operative movement. With the or—
ganized force of the entire agricul-
ture of the country back of the move—
ment it is felt that within a compar-
atively short time the producers will
have control of the situation.

The League of Nations question is

League is such a thoroughly bad
measure, why are the Republican
leaders so anxious to gobble up a
substitute for it.
main, if not the only, reason the
treaty was not ratified was that the
Republican senators were not big
enough to let a Democratic President
carry away the honors.

I do not hold the President blame-
less; good policy should have dictat-
ed that he divide the honors with
Republicans. However, I do not
feel that the Republican senators
were at all justified in going to the
lengths they did.

Aside from the League issue, I
feel that the old guard Republican
machine is in the saddle and there is
no room for the men of the Roose-

would be the best possible tonic for
the Republican Party.

CAN PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS STAND
INSPECTION?

HIS PAROCHIAL school amend-

‘ ment is provoking much com—
ment. Everyone who speaks in
favor is supposed to be a bigoted

Methodist or Baptist or a rank Pres-
byterian or a fanatical something
else. I am none of these. I am a
very narrow-minded American, just
as narrow as Jim Smillie is broad. I
am so narrow-minded as to believe
that parochial schools should meet
the same requirements as our public
schools.

I am so far behind the times as to
think that even though I was mar-
ried by a church of the Bretheru
minister that I am not living in
adultery and that my children had 'a
right to be born. If I were not so
prejudiced in favor of American prin-
ciples and institutions I could per-
haps see the light and understand
that my children are illegitimate be-
cause their parents were not married
under the canon law.

There is no use and no object in
denying that this amendment is aim-
ed at Catholic schools, not because
of their religion but because of their
politics.

If Catholic children were not rais-
ed in parochial schools and taught

‘ to believe that church-lam is super-
» ior" to” our government

I believe that the -

law then
could a priest instruct his parish how
to "tote? 'No red-blooded American
would stand’ for it.

How thin in‘ the greater expense
argumentl, Why are our public
schools not adequate? How long

‘ ago was it that wet people were say-

ing we never could getalong with-
out the license money from the sa-
loons? .

Every boost for the
school is a'kn-ock for
school.

I am broadminded enough to know
there are many well meaning Cath—
olics. All the question needs is the
light of publicity. We aro not afraid
to have our purposes and aims inves—
tigated. Can the parochial schools

PROTESTANT SCRIPTURE HAND-
ED DOWN B! CATHOLKE
TTAVING BEEN a reader of your

valuable paper for some time

and being interested in the con-
troversy (as it seems) going on in
“What the Neighbor's Say" page, I
thought I would like to contribute
a few lines if space permits.

I am especially interested in what
the “native of Ireland" has to say
about the school amendment as he
seems to have a very deep grudge
against Roman Catholics. Of course,
knowing that he's a native of Ire—
land (or at least claims to be he is
liable '-to get his "Irish" riled up a
bit when he thinks how badly beat-
en the amendment will be Nov. 2.

I see he (or she) just wishes Cath-
olic schools removed as they do not
teach religion according to scripture
and do not make good citizens of
their pupils, two very good reasons,
I am sure. But just a moment
“native,” I'd like to ask where your
Protestant Scripture originated?
How was scripture and all religious
articles preserved and handed down
to your Protestant religion from the
time Jesus Christ founded the R0-
man Catholic church until the 15th
century when Protestant religion
started?

It seems to me that such scripture
would be very doubtful to you after
being in the hands of Catholic priests
and their “subjects" (as you call
them) for so many centuries, if they
are such doubtful and unloya‘l citi-
zens as you present them to be.

I have been a Catholic convert for
the past five years and must say that
every true Catholic I know is a true
American citizen through and
through. Also that I have never
been forbidden to attend Protestant
church by any priest that I have
known. I think that the “native’s”
reference must have been a big ex-
ception as we have no religious strife
amongst our Protestant friends and
neighbors. Of course, once in a
while we find people who have rad-
ical opinions on either side but the
people of our community are mostly
broad-minded enough to let such
trivial matters pass unheeded. Per—
haps you will say we are all Catho-
lics up here but not so. It is just re-
versed for nearly all are Protestants.

Our brother, who was a Roman

(/here for the canning

Catholic gave his life in France to

help make this world safe for De- .

mooracy, which I. am sure all of us
Catholic and Protestant citizens alike
are going to enjoy for many,.ma_ny

years to come. after we have settled;

this school amendment satisfactor-
ily, and have learned to overlook the
shortcomings of our brothers on
either side of this‘religiouo question.

SEPARATE CHURCH AND STATE

1 have been an interested reader of ',
editorials on the proposed amend-Lg
meat to abolish parochial schools in .
Michigan, which have appeared in»
late issues‘of' the ‘M. B. F: _ :

The editor, must be a fair-minded ’3
man to allow both sides of a ques—l
tion like this to be discussed freely
in his paper. ~

I think this effort to abolish. the
existing evils in the parochial schools
by destroying the Whole system, the ‘
good with the evil, to rid the state ;_
of what evil there is, is like. pulling
up the whole hill to get rid of weeds .
growing in it. The majority of the _,
parochial schools conducted by most .
denominations are doing much for '
the wellfare of the children of this
country, both spiritually and mental-
ly. I do not see why all should be~
closed because there are a few that
are hotbed's of Bolshevism and 80—;
cialism. Rather than destroy the.
whole system it would be advisable 'f'
to take some other method than the
proposed amendment to eradicate,
the evil. . .

The only way I see is to have the _
public schools strictly non-sectarian-
and having no religidn whatsoever
taught in them. Then where it seems .
advisable let parochial schools be:
conducted. The outline of study _ '
should be the same as that of the
public schools and after they come‘
up to the standard set by the state .
they may add what religious subjects
they desire. All parochial schools
should be open to public inspection.
Where there is objection to public in-
spection there is something wrong in—
side. I think that places under the
name of religious schools with tall
walls surrounding them, barred win-
dows and doors locked to both the
public and inmates, built to trap and
enslave people who go there for re-
ligious instruction, where the in-
mates are compelled to labor and es-
cape is almost impossible and en-
premacy of their church over all es-
tablished governments is taught
these are the kind of parochial;
schools that had ought to be closed
or some radical change made. .

If upon inspect-ion any school is
found to hold up principles before the
pupils that are not in harmony with
the principles of our government, it
should be closed. ' But because than
are arfew of this class all parochial
schools should not be closed.

Church and state should be entire-
soparate, therefore religion should
not be taught in the public schools
and if parochial schools are prohibit-
ed by law so the children will, as a
natural course, grow without relig-
ious instruction and if they grow up
without religious instructions, a large
per cent will be infidel: andr atheists.
Do we want Michigan to be a state
famed for its infldels and agnofiios?
If not use your influence on the right
side and voto no.-—E. D. Fisher, Ile-
coato County.

’ LOST Excuses: SHIPMENT

Seeing the legal'troubles of others

haps you might be able: to advise me_in
the collection of a claim I have against
, erican Railway Express Com an
-- e amount of the claim being; 47. a

blob value I set on a lost ”express ship-
ment. On October 18, 1918 a bale of
bedding was ‘shi . from Cedar City to
me at my stree address in Wyandotte.
It had not arrived on the 3rd of Novem-
ber, when I was taken to the Eloise In-
firmary'after suffering a stroke of.para.l-
ysis The agent said that it had not been
“received at his office. The claim agent
of the American Express Company... as-
sures-me that they delivered the ship—
ment to my address, but. he does not
show any proof. If the bedding was
delivered it was received by the man I
rented my room of because .I have

ever received it far seen or. heard from
£12 any way.—. . A. . Maple City,

0 . »

 

If you made out a claim for the
lost goods and the company refused
to pay the claim I would employ a
lawyer and sue the company. I would
be of the opinion that the facts stat-
ed by you would entitled you to Judg—
ment unless they can prove delivery
in a lawful way. Claim adjusters oft-
timesvmisstate and misrepresent con-
ditions and you should rely only

gupon such circumstances as you can

establish by proof. When you know
they have not delivered the goods
to you you can be satisfied that they
have not been delivered—W. E.

QUICK VINEGAB PROCESS

Please tell me how to turn cider to
vinegar the quickest way—S. T, Blan-
chard, Mich.

As the acetic bacteria need air to
oxidize the alcohol in cider, etc., it
is evident that in the ordinary vin-
egar barrel the surface of the albo-
holic liquid expos’ed to the air is
very small in proportion to the vol-
ume of the liquid. This is the rea-

, son why vinegar made by the house-
hold methodvis formed so slowly.

In the “quickwinegar process” the
vinegar generator is so constructed
as to multiply many hundred times
.the area. of the surface'of the alco-
holic liquid thus increasing the ac-
tivity of the vinegar bacteria by 'as
many hundred times. The best type
of “quick process” generator is con-
structed of a slightly conical wooden

ivat, having two perforated false
5 heads, one near the bottom and the
other near the top.
tween these two false heads is filled
with shavings of beech-wood or
strips of rattan which, have been
thoroughly extracted, first with wa-
ter, then with good strong vinegar.
Various substitutes for beech shav-
., ingssuch as‘corn cobs, etc., have
been used with more or less success.

When the generator is in opera-
tion the alcoholic liquid is’dist‘ribut—
ed intermittently ‘by some automatic
device over the top false head in

? plied intermittently rather than con-
tinuno‘usly so that it will not tend
to run in streams in certain parts of
the vat and thus cause a loss of

The number ‘ ”of “pastsige‘s depends
upon“ the.‘amount of alcohol present,
the rapidity‘of the flow, the temper-
ature,,and on the perfection of the
apparatus. ' ‘r

The oxygen supplied by the en-
trance of air through a row of holes
, bored in the vat below. the false. head
passes upWard through‘the mass of
beech shavings to replace the air
heated by the fermentation,‘ thus a
continuous circulation of air is in-
sured. " \ . '

The temperature must be kept
close toU-SO degrees C. (88 degrees
F.). If it is too high, alcoholevap-
orates, often 15‘-to -2_0 per cent.,_ or
even 30 per cent; if too-slow, aceti-
fication is checked. The temperature
is regulated by carefully adjusting
the number, size and location of the
holes through which the air passes
upward.

Thus it is readily seen that the
success of the quick vinegar-process
in brief depends upon furnishing

sufficient surface to the vinegar bac-
teria that «their 'exidizing action may
be exerted to its fullest extent upon
the largest possible amount of alco-

holic liquid.« In this way a certain
volume of alcoholic liquid is chang-
ed into strong vinegar in a few days,
Which otherwise would take weeks
andqmonths, perhaps years to accom-
plish—Pref. -zqe' Northrup Wyant,
Experiment Station, M. A.“ 0.

CAN‘T COLLECT COMMISSION

A neighbor, Chas. Budjln living
across the 'road ~from me asks me to
Sell his farm for him, He told me that
he would give me $100 if I sold it to an
Illinois man, or $50 if I sold it to a St.
Charles man. I sold it to parties in St.
Charles and he got his money, $6,600 in
cash. Now he won’t pay me my $50,
or even speak to me. There was no
figitten agreement—R. E. C., St. Charles.

ch. ‘

I am of'the opinion that you could
not collect the commission for the
sale of the real estate for two rea-
sons. First you ‘did not have the
agreement for commission in writ-
ing. There is a statute requiring all
agreements for commission upon the
sale of real estate to be in writing.
They would be void without. Second
there is a statute that makes it un—
lawful to engage in the business of
a real estate agent without a license.
As you probably have no license I
think you would not be able to ob—
tain a judgment for want of a li-
cense. Yours isanother instance of
how a man who does not want to
be square may use the law as a
means of being crooked. -—- W. E.
Brown, legal editor.

No trouble at all. You were wise
to reject this proposition which has
all the earmarks of a swindle. Un-
consciously your bank played direct-
ly into these fellows’ hands by assur-
ing them of your financial respon-
sibility. They knew before they ap—
proached you that you were collect—
able on a thousand dollar note. Of
course, they didn’t want cash. You
might not have had the necessary
amount at hand. Also, many a man
will give a note when he would
never think of paying cash. More-
over, you might stop payment on a
check but they could collect on the
note.

agreed to payyour expenses; It is
also clear that they do not intend

PRICE OF COWS

We .have a chance to buy a Jersey
cow which will not be fresh until the first
of January. She is Very gentle, gives
about:L fourteen quarts when fresh. They
ask’ $125“ for'her‘n Some of our. farmer
friends tell us cows are not selling so
high. We only have ten acres and art
of that is marsh so we want a good am-
ily cow. Would a Jersey be the best
kind and do you think 8125 would be too
much to pay for a good cowl—L. C

I am unable to tell whether the
cow is a pure bred or a grade.
I assume from the price asked that
she is a grade cow. I am unable to
tell how much milk the cow is giv—
ing at the present time or what type
of individual the cow is. If she is
a good type individual cow and is
giving a good flow of milk at the
present time I should not consider
$125 too much for hen—J. E. Burnett,

most of the money raised in t is part of
the township for improvements is used
elsewhere—T. M B., oughton County.

Upon a statement of facts th only
way I know is to get the big way
commissioner to order the road im-
proved and let the contract for the
work. You might be able to take
the contract yourself Should he be
willing to let it so you could be sure
the work would be done. The build-

There is no such attorney in Mich-

provided by associations to advise
poor people free of cost but I know
of no such arrangement in Michigan.
The nearest is the arrangement in
the city of Detroit where an attorney
is provided in alimony cases—W. E.

I do not know the usage of the
paint trade as to the size of barrel.
I would be of the opinion that unless
there was a well-known custom that
a barrel of paint was 70 gallons they
would have no right to collect for a
half barrel of 35 gallons. That the
quantity meant by half barrel in the
absence of a well known trade cus-
tom should be the half of a common-

the order stated “16 gallons or one

WIFE AND CHILD RECEIVES
NOTHING

A marries and moves onto a farm
owned by his father, making all improve-

of father or son dying without a will,
would wife and child receive the cost
of improvements when the place is sold?
-——-A Reader.

If there was no contract for com-
pensation for improvements in case
of death of father the son would take
only his inheritable proportion. Just
such portion as the other children
would take. In case of the death of
the son his heirs would receive noth-
ing from improvements without a
contract—W. E. . Brown, legal editor.

‘ TRADE AND MARKET REVIEW

The month of October will close
with average prices, at wholesale, the
lowest on many commodities that
have been known since before the
war and many of them considerably
lower than those that prevailed in
pro-war times. The general opinion,
among trade experts, seems to be

- that the price decline will continue

for some time to come, none of them
are willing, however, to venture a
prediction concerning the probable
date when the situation will clear
up and values become stabilized.
The retail trade in some lines has
been slow to respond to the pressing

demand for lower prices and, for

this reason, the volume of trade in
commodities that are seasonable for
fall and winter use, has been com-
paratively small; during the past
week, however, announcements have
been made that indicate that retail-
ers begin to realize the folly of try-
ing to stem the tide of declining
values. There are those that- express
the opinion, that with the passing of
the Thanksgiving holiday, much of
the uncertainty and business hesitap
tion that has characterized the fall
season, will vanish and in its place
will come a normal resumption of
business activities and a fairly act-
ive Christmas trade.

one of the most interesting an-
nouncements that has been made
during the past week came from
President Gary of the Steel Trust.
Mr. Gary is inclined to take a philo-
sophical view of the present situa-
tion in the belief that the general de-
cline in values will make for health-
ier conditions throughout the coun-
try. He predicts, that with the de-
cline of other commodities. steel of

all grades will also decline; in con-

nection with the last mentioned top-
ic, the public will be inclined to take
Mr. Gary/ seriously as they feel that
he, more than any one else, should
be fitted to speak advisedly upon this
very important subject. In the opin-
ion of the writer of this article there
is, at this time, an imperative de-
mand for a sharp cut in the selling
price of steel; he is of the opinion,
that the manufacturers of steel,
during the war and since, have been
profiteering on a large scale and that
the sooner they put their product
on a fair basis the better it will be
for business in general.

One of the most encouraging de-
velopments which have come as a
direct result of the slowing down of
manufacturing and trade in general
has been the clearing out of the
great freight Jams that have, for so
long, handicapped business at lead-
ing terminal points; a survey of the
various freight terminals of the
country reveals conditions»the like
of which have not prevailed since
long before the war. When the rail-
roads were turned back by the gov-
ernment to private ownership, near-
ly 100,000 loaded freight cars were
standing on side tracks at terminals
waiting to be unloaded; a reportfor
the week closing Oct. 8, showed that
this number has been reduced to 41,-
000, more than 18,000 of which were
being held at ports for ships in con-
nection with trans-oceanic or coast-
wise trade.

While there are those who still ad-
vocate the government ownership of
railroads there are important chang-
es being accomplished Just now un-
der private ownership. The report
of the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion shows that more freight was

' handled during the months of July

and August, this year. than during
any similar period in the past his-
tory of this country; it also shows
that a much larger number of cars

that by speeding up repairs, exten-
sions and betterments, during the
period of business depression, the
managers of American railroads will
be able to keep pace with current
traffic expansion and, ultimately, to
find a way to solve the great trans-
portation problem that recently
seemed well-nigh unsolvable?

The American Bankers’ Associa-
tion in convention assembled in
Washington, D. 0., last week passed
a resolution of censure directed
against U. S. Controller Williams,
who recently gave out an interview
criticising certain New York banks
for charging usurous rates of inter-
est on loans to brokers, operating on
the New York Stock Exchange. It

is certainly surprising that a con--

vention of bankers, consisting of del-
egates from all over the country,
would take a stand in favor of a few
outlaw banks in New York’s finan-
cial district and against a fearless
omcial who was doing his sworn duty
as he saw it;

Simultaneously with the arrival of
the above news item comes the in_-_
formation that banks in the south-
west, pressed for funds, have de-
manded that their farmer borrow-
ers sell their wheat and pay their
notes; on their part, the Kansas
farmers have refused to sell their
wheat for present prices and at the
same time have notified the bankers,
whose customers they have been for
many years, that they will withdraw
their business from them if they per-
sist in forcing the sale of the wheat
in farmers' hands. Developments,
like those described above, wellsnigh
force the farmer to ask the question
—Are the bankers of the country
playing into the hands of the grain
manipulators?

During the past week, the New
York stock and bond market has
been dull and quiet, a condition which

brokers consider an evidence of
strength as it indicates hesitation,
on the part of the bears in the mar-
ket to sell short for fear of getting
caught in a rising market. A. rise
in stock market values has been held
intcheck, however, by a 10 per cent
rate for call money on the New York
Stock Exchange which developed
late last Friday and which has per-
sisted until the time of going to
press with this page; at no time dur-
ing the period referred to, have re-
newals been negotiable on a basis of
less than 8 per cent. The rise in in-
terest rates is taken as an indica-
tion of a tightening of the money
market of the country.

On news of export buying, the
wheat market recovered sharply and
scored a strong upturn, late last
week but a substantial increase in
the visible, filed on Monday, October
25, and the persistence of rumors,
that wheat-belt farmers are healing
the injunction of the banks to sell
their grain and ease up on the credit
situation, has caused an easier feel—
ing and a. material recession in
values. Au opinion, recently. ex-
pressed by the United States Bureau
of Markets, to the effect, that the
world’s supply of wheat will prob-
ably equal the demand during the
coming year, has also tended to soft-
en the market and diminish invest-
ment buying. .

The following from a recent issue
of the Chicago Tribune is informing
concerning the lack of investment

buying of cereals: “The sentiment of
the public in general is extremely
pessimistic. It has come to a. rea-
lization of the importance of
weakness in the basins“ situation,
which is decidedly abalnst inflation
of values. This, has kept’the public
out of the grain markets as a buy-
er and has had a depressing influr
once."

_ The options in corn are decidedly
weak chiefly because of a weak feel-
ing in connection with the cane de-
mand for this vcereal. The anti-
cipation of an early advance in in-
terest rates and the announcement '
of many failures among grain dealers
in the east is contributing to the bes-
itation and tlmldity of speculators
and causing an almost complete ne-
g‘lect of the buying side of the mar-
ket. No buying by. the products
companies is reported, the inference
being that these-factories are loaded
up with products made from high-
priced corn which they propose to
work off before going on with pro-
duction. While it would be hard to
find anyone who would care to load
up with long com, the general opin-
ion, among men familiar with the
habits of the market is, that cash
corn is right on the bottom for the
coming season. - '

has been worked ed and the feeling
is a trifle better. All eastern mar-
kets with the exception of Boston
arequoted firm and higher but the
improvement, which is the direct rev
suit of railroad embargoes against
the shipment of hay, is not regarded
as legitimate. All western markets
report an over-supply of hay and a
lack of demand. In the opinion of
the editor of this department, the
present is a good time to sell surplus
hay‘in lower Michigan.

 

SUGAR

_There has been no change in the
market for raw sugar, during the
past week, but many eastern refln-

12 cents per pound. Granulated

LIVE STOCK MARKETS

The cattle trade of the country,
while it is probably in better shape
than it/wason the beginning of last
week When‘Chicago received an over-
supply and values broke badly for
everything except strictly corn—fed
buliocks, is far from active and the
outlook anything but encouraging.
After Monday’s Weakness in Chica-
go,.'las_t week, values began to hard-
en under extremely light receipts
and held fairly firm until ‘Friday,
when a part of the week’s gain was

‘ lost. The week’s net gain in steer
, prices at Chicago was from “25c to
,.60cl.per cwt., some of the better
wugrades .of butchersshowed a gain of
,. dram 104.0. 80 cents per cwt., while
others. showed only steady or with

xia~fiy"'fzxoodv;v’ many selections from
'range'oizerings having much to rec-
ommend them to the‘middlew'est
feeder. On Monday of ,the current
week, Chicago got 28.000 cattle, a
run that was considerably larger
than the needs of the market sug-
.gested and all but the best grades of
steers were lower. One or two sales
of extra flne bullocks were made in
the Chicago market, October 25th.
for $18.35 per cwt. The dressed

. beef. trade is very dull in all mar-

kets, the only kind for which there
is any call being the better grades
of steer carcasses.

After ruling higher in Chicago,
all last week, on light receipts. the
Chicago market for fat lambs eased
off to a dull close on Saturday with
Owing to
thescarcity of range lambs the aver-
age price for fat lambs on last Sat-
urday in Chicago was the lowest of
the year. On Monday of the current
week, with arrivals of 31,000 sheep
and lambs, sellers forced an upturn
in prices for fat lambs that equalled
25c per cwt., Mature sheep and
western yearling wethers sold extra
well in Chicago last week, one doub-
le deck of the latter, averaging 91
pounds, going for $10.35 per cwt.,
while the top sale of native lambs
on Saturday was only $11.50. per
cwt.

There were two important develo
opments in connection with the Chis.
cago demand for mature sheep and
yearlings last week, when the United
States government came into the
market for a supply of fresh-dress-
ed mutton; following the completion
of the army contract, exporters to
Cuba entered the market and clean—
up everything in the live mutton
line. Fat lambs from western rang-
es, are just about all in for this year
and the bands that are coming show
extremely common quality. The de—
mand for feeding lambs is active, all
around the market circle, feeders
just beginning to realize that they
may have waited too long to get good
bargains in this line of goods. Feed-
ers paid as high as $12.60 for some
extra flne lambs in Chicago last
week. Chicago got 95,000 sheep and
lambs last week against 112,000 the
previous week and 158,000 the same
week last year.

The hog market seems to be in
for a tremendous slump before the
slide can be checked. There are
various reasons which are assigned
as the direct cause of the present de-

cline in live hog values, one of the '

most important of which is a ma—
terial increase in arrivals, all around
the market circle and an increase in
average weights, 3. development
which was not expected so early in
the season. Recent weather condi-
tions have been very much against
the heavy consumption of fresh pork
and its products, a marked increase
in'consumptive records will be look-
ed for as soon as temperatures drop
lower. The Chicago hog market has
been practically demoralized for sev-
eral days, owing to a complete falling
off in shipping demand and the ab—
sence of the yard trader. The last
mentioned gentlemen have had some
heart breaking losses of late and
they are temporarily out of the deal.
When the shipper and yard trader
are out of the market in the Chicago
yards, the seller of live hogs is at
the mercy of the big packers.

From the standpoint of increasing
export demand for cured hog pro—
ducts, the cash trade in provisions is
on a better footing than at any pre-
ceding date during the current sea-
son; exports of lard and cured meats
are-much larger than on this date
last month nd very much larger than
on the corresponding date last year.

Provisioners report that collec-
tions are extremely slow, especially
in; the south, 'where everybody feels
the decline in cht‘ton prices. It now
appears that an utterly» unforseen
situation has developed, in connec-
tion with a tremendoushnumber of
business failures in the meat trade,
all through New England" and] the
south; all of. the conditions mention-
edsabove, of course, have some -.bear-

Detroit Market Conditions

For the past week, Detroit has
featured a fairly steady trade in cat-
tle, receipts have been moderate, 1.-
000 head coming to hand on Mon-
day of the current week. The aver-
age quality of local arrivals contin-
ues to be very low, not enough prime
and handy cattle coming to hand to
make a market from which reliable
quotations can be established. Veal

for sheep and lambs has been“ active
at somewhat "higher prices during
the past week than those that pre-

men have had a hard time getting

rid of their consignments during the '

past week and shippers, to the De-
trait market, have lost a tremendous
amount of money on the decline.

‘men’s minds and morals strangely.
. THE AIM: The Paris Covenant

provides for a voluntary League ’

of civilized nations, which shall
undertake to promote the justice
and preserve the peace of the world

by accepting obligations not to‘jre- .-

sort to war, but todeal openly,'just’-
ly, and honorably with one another,
by scrupuou-sly‘maintaining the sanc-

tity of treaties, by'firmly. establishing , '

the rules of international law as the
rule of conduct between govern-

ments, and by establishing close co-_

operation in matters of. common con-
cern.

It does not assume to be able to‘

end war, any more than governments .

.assume to be able to end crime. But
as governments reduce crime by set-
tling disputes peaceably, by punish-
ing crime when it is committed, and

by organizing society in the general ,
interest; 'so the League of Nations ‘

aims to reduce war by settling dis-

putes'peaceably, by penalizing the .

nation that begins war contrary to

the covenant of the League, and by .

an administration of matters

of.

common concern in the interest of .

the people of the whole world.
11. THE COVENANT: To accom-

plish these purposes, the members of ‘

of the League agree that they will——

Respect and Preserve the Political
Independence and Territorial Integ-
rity of,each member against extern-
al aggression. (Article 10.)

Submit Disputes to Arbitration by
a tribunal administering internation-
al law or to mediation by the Coun—
cil or the Assembly provided for in
the treaty and furnish a statement
of the case to the Secretary General
of the League. (Article 12, No. 1.)

Abstain from “Var against any
member until the dispute has been
submitted to arbitration or media-
tion, and until three months after
the award or recommendation; and
even then not go to war with a mem-
ber of the League that complies with
the award of the tribunal or with
the unanimous recommendation of
the Council or Assembly. (Article
12.)

Carryout in Good Faith any
awards that may be rendered when-
ever the parties to the dispute vol-
untarily agree to arbitrate. (Article
13, No. 4.)

Boycott any Nation that goes to
war contrary to the covenants of
the League support one another in
economic measures necessary to
make the boycott effective, support
one another in resisting any special
measure aimed at one of their num-
ber bv.the Offending state, and afford

. Why the Farmer Complains

THE FARMER is receiving scant support

from the people of the cities in his efforts
to check the downward plunge of farm com-
modity prices and to secure the necessary cred-
it" for holding his crops for better prices. To
be sure, they sympathize with him. “It’s too
bad, old man, that you can’t get your usual
profits this year,” they say, “but, remember,
we’re all in the same boat. We’ve got to
weather the storm and smile.”

All in the same boat, say you? Not on your
life. If the farmer was in‘the same boat with
nine tenths of the business men of the cities
his fellow voyagers would never hear a peep
out ofhim. Gladly would he turn his craft
into the teeth of the trade winds that blow at
intervals down the lanes of commercial travel.
Willingly would he accept the bufleting of the
waves of adversity. They might shake the
boat a little; they might occasionally sweep
over the how; but through it all he would
have the consciousness that the craft is a
sturdy one and a safe harbor waits just ahead
for the mariner who keeps his head clear and
his hand steady.

But the farmer is in a difierent kind of a
boat altogether. It is the derelict of the in—
dustrial seas. Its keel is rotten; its ribs are
broken; and its poor old frame lets in the
tides. Its jib sail is gone and ' its mainsail
hangs in tatters. If it ever had a rudder which
is doubtful, it has long since disappeared. For
ages the ~creaking old tub has ridden the
waves, driven this way and that, hither and
yon, with no port in sight and no way of
reaching it if there was. It is embarked upon
an endless, purposeless voyage, and nothing
but the kind hand of Providence has kept it
oil the rocks and saved it from destruction.

The average business man of the city has a
firm grip upon his business. He fixes his own
Selling price; he determines his margin of
profit. He is headed for a definite goal and
he knows how to get there.
casional reverses to come his way, but if he is
a cautious business man he prepares for them
in advance.

The farmer has no such hold upon his bus-
iness. It is eternally at the mercy of the whims.
of the elements and the uncertainties of the
markets. He may be headed for a definite
goal but. it will be nothing short of a miracle
if he ever gets there. His business is a ser-
ies of reverses. No matter how shrewd or far-
seeing he may be he cannot prepare against
them, forthey are ordered by influences over
which he has no control

The crops that are in the farmers’ hands

 

today were grown at a cost that is greater than '

their present market value.‘ This is a fact

pri'fits and the leveling process does not stop
there. It goes further and takes from the
former a portion of what it costs him to pro-
duce' hiscrops. And the farmer stands pow-
erless to prevent the operation. . ,

Between the farmer’s business and almost
every other business there are a thousand

oints of diflerence which entitle the farmer ’s

usinws to special consideration and special
treatment. He does not ask for privileges at
the expense of others unless others have been
enjoying privileges at his expense, which many
of them have been doing. He does not seek to
hold his crops for exorbitant profits. All he
wants is an even break and an even chance to
share in the profits which in times past have
gone to the speculators and which, with the un-
witting assistance of the federal authorities
and the metropolitan newspapers, will go to
them this year in an unprecedented amount.

The farmer is perfectly willing to do his
part in bringing commodity prices back to
normal. He ought to be for he is the largest
commodity purchaser in the country. But he
vrill not do more than his share. To accept
the prices that are offered today for the pro-
ducts of the farm is to make a sacrifice far
greater than any other class of people have
made or will have to make. It is not alone in
the interests of fairness but in the interest of
national welfare that we ask the people of this .
nation to assist the farmer in securing the
credit he needs so that he may—in the words
of Senator Capper, “market his crops in an
orderly fashion.” and secure a reasonable
profit out of them.

The Game Laws

OARDS OF supervisors of certain coun-
ties in the lower peninsula are up in arms
against the Public Domain Commission for
throwing the entire lower peninsula open to
deer hunters for ten days. We cannot blame
them. The hunters have tracked this beauti-
ful animal with a persistency that has all but
catcrminated it from the rapidly disappear-
ing forests of the lower peninsula. A few
years ago it was a common thing when travel-
ing the unfrequented highways of the north-
ern tiers of counties to hear a crash in the
brush near by and see a noble antler go hurt-
ling oif into the deeper woods. Several times
in the last ten years when romping the woods
in that northern country I have seen from an
eminence a doe and her faun grazing in peace
and fancied security. More than once I have
seen caged up at lumber camps these tiny off-
spring of the antlcred tribe, captured by some
fleet lumberjack, their silken coats rising and
falling to the rhythm of their frightened heart-
beats. But all is changed. It is a fortunate
hunter, indeed, who penetrating the most re-
mote forest fastnessesof the lower peninsula I!
able to even detect the hoof-prints of a deer,
let alone to set his eyes upon the animal him—
self. ' Why the state of Michigan should en—
courage the conscienciousless hunter to exter-
minate this animal altogether south of the
straits we cannot understand. ’
The wild game policy of this state and na-
tion is in need of drastic reform. God did not
inhabit this earth with wild’ animals to satisfy
the blood-lust of man. If the Creator had man
in mind at all when he brought wild game into
being and gave them dominion over the earth it
was probably to provide him with a source of
food. The taking of animal life to satisfy hunger
is entirely legitimate and excusable, but shoot-

. ing down game for the pure love of tracking

and killing is open to grave objection, partic-

Wild animals are a Part-of our natural and
"natifial‘heritage. We have no more right to
rob- the forests of God’s four-footed creatures
than we have to rob the forests of their trees,
and the mines of their ores. We who are liv- ,
ing today are nothing but the stewards of
'these resources. We may use them but we
may not abuse them. Other generations are

‘WT’vfollOW us who have as legitimate a right to ‘ L

these, things as we. If We destroy the forests
for their lumber we must and we willemhark
upon' projects of reforestation and seek lum-
‘ber substitutes for the use of posterity. If- we
disembowel the earth of its proszimts metals
and oils we must and we will provide some-
thing to take their place for those who will
come after. But there is no way of making
up the loss when wild animal life is exterm-
inated. We have taken all that belongs to us
and all that belongs to the future generations.
The only way to preserve wild game for the
rightful enjoyment of posterity is in make
our game laws rigid enough to prevent their
extermination.

Two Views onvthe League of Nations

F PERMISSABLE would like to say a word
in answer to your article under the heading
of the League of Nations. In the first
place I consider it in poor taste to can, the op-.
ponents of this document ignorant because they
do not think as you do. ’

“In the second place the people of today read
and think for themselves and generally I am
willing to abide by the decision of~the majority——
and that there will be an overwhelming majority
against this thing called the League of Nations
is very evident, and included in this majority
will be a lot of Democrats.-,The people in gen-
era] are putting the blame for no peace where
it belongs, for, as I see it, instead of wanting to
be a Kaiser and turning this country into a. mon-
archy, had Wilson acted within his authority we
would long ago have had an International Court
of Justice and peace.

“Now if as you say the League is in operation
than we surely do not want such a thing for it
has proven an utter failure, for there has been
no end of trouble .and war since the armistice
was signed. ,

“Now if you think that the U. S. will not be
bound by an agreement sacrificing our independ-
ende and when so orderedby foreign powers to
send our boys across to be shot down just to help
' settle disputes between some hot-headed,_ ignorant
Europeans you are mistaken and talking about
inviting the enmity of the entire civilized world
is rot, for had we entered this League you
advocate, we would have been laughed at and
called mutts, and justly so.”——W. H. Launstein,
Owosso, Mich. '

R. LAUNSTEIN’S letter might be called

a “comedy of crors,” were it not for the
‘fact that the subject is of such tragic import.
He errs when he says the Business Farmer
called those “ignorant” who do not think as
we do upon this subject. Of course, we did
not say or infer any such thing as he will find
by a more careful reading of our editorial.
What we did say was that those who permit
their judgment and their vote upon this great
issue to be swayed by partisan motives are ig-
norant. This statement applies equally to' Re-
publicans, Democrats, Socialists and all others
who are led astray from the pathway of truth
by the trumpeting of partisan leaders.

Our correspondent errs when he“ says the
League has been a failure. ,On the contrary,
considering the fact that the most important
nation- of the world, the United States, is not
yet a member, the League has been a magnifi-
cent success. For my part, I care. not whether ?
a hundred wars have had their inception dur- .
ing the life of the League; if it has prevented
a single war; if- it has saved a single mother’s
son from death on the battlefield; then in my
humble judgment it has been a success. How
many Michigan mothers who lost their sons in
the last great war will stand by me in that
statement? It is an established fact that the
League has done all that. It has put an inter-
vening arm between a number of nations that

on merit. The political leanings, the positions,
the motives Of every public man who ’has ea-
pressed himself upon the League Of N ations,-—
all should be carefully considered. I have no
doubt that friend Launstein believes all he

says about the League Of Nations, but I want '

to ask him where he got his belief. Did he
shut himself 1n his closet away from the biased
opinions of others, read the League Of Nations
covenant, and arrive at his conclusions from
the printed word, or did he get his Opinions
second-handed? He probably got them second-
handed as most Of us did.

The man who made more converts . for the
League. of Nations than any other individual,
not excepting the President, was Wm. Howard
Taft. When that great Republican statesman
spoke from the same platform with a Demo-
cratic president a little over a year ago and
urged the people to stand by the League of Na-
tions he commanded the admiration and at-
tention Of the entire nation. Wm. Howard
Taft converted the Business Farmer to the

- League of Nations. But the Business Farmer

unlike Mr. Taft, refuses to backslide, for the
Business Farmer has no political irons in the
fire. Mr. Taft has said on more than one oc-
casion that" Article Ten will not embroil the
United States in war without the consent of
Congress. I prefer Mr. Taft ’s opinion on that
matter to Mr. Launstein’ s. '

As late as August 2nd, 1920, Mr. Taft ex-
greased himself as follows upon the League of

ations:

“’When Mr. Wilson brought to this country the
League Covenant, as reported to the Paris Con-
ference I urged on the same platform with him
that we join the League. I thereafter recom-
mended amendments, many of which were adopt-
ed into its final form. Had I been in the Senate
I would have voted for the League and Treaty as
submitted; and I advocated its ratification ac-
cordingly. I did not think and I do- not now
think that anything in the League Covenant as
sent to the Senate would violate the constitution
of the United tates or would involve us in wars
which it would not be to the highest interest
of the world and the country to suppress by uni-
versal boycott and, if need be, by military force.
I consider that the~moral effect Of Article X on
predatory nations would restrain them from war
as the declaration of the Monroe Doctrine has
done and that the requirement of the unanimous
consent by the representatives of the great powers

in council before League action would safeguard.

the United States from any perversion of the high
purpose of the League. Moreover, I believe that

' the hsue Of the League transcends in its import-

ance any domestic issues and would justify and
require one who believes so to ignore party ties
and secure this great boon for the world and

this country.”

In conclusion, I am happy to say that I have
found at least one other Republican besides
myself who believes heart and soul in THE

The Amendments

ICHIGAN voters will be presented with

four amendments to the Constitutionat
the coming election. Realizing that many of
our readers will have little time or opportun—
ity to even read these amendments, let alone
to study them, before the election, we deem it
our duty to reproduce them in whole or part
and explain their purposes.

The first amendment that will appear upon
the ballot is to article thirteen Of the Consti-
tution empowering the Legislature to author-
ize municipalities to condemn more land than
is necessary for certain purposes and to issue
bonds therefor. The amendment reads:

SECTION 6. Subject to this Constitution the

Legislature may authorize municipalities, sub-
ject to reasonable limitations, to condemn and
to take the fee to more land and property than
is needed in the acquiring, opening and widen-
ing of parks, boulevards, public places, streets,
alleys, or for any public use, and after so much
of the land and property has been appropriated
for any such needed public purpose, the remain-
der may be sold or leased with or without such
restrictions as may be appropriate to the im-
provement made. Bonds may be issued to sup-
ply the fund-s to pay in whole or in part for
the excess property so appropriated, but such
bonds shall be a. lien only ,On the property so
acquired and thy shall not be included in any
limitation of the bonded indebtedness of such
municipality.

To fully understand the purpose of this
amendment, the reader should be familiar with
the practices now being followed. Municipal-
ities are now empowered to condemn land and
property for the needed civic improvements
such as parks, boulevards, and other public
purposes. In nearly all cases where such con-
demnation proceedings are made and such im-
provements provided adjoining property in-
creas s enormously in value and the owners
thereby profit largely from the necessary ex-
penditure of the taxpayers. Under the pro-
posed amendment municipalities would have
the right to condemn property adjoining that
proposed for public improvement, to hold this
property, issue bonds against it to bear the ex-
pense of the improvement, and finally if de-
sired, to dispose Of it altogether. The idea is
tO enable municipalities to reap the financial
benefits arising from public improvements in-
stead of letting them go to private individuals.
This should have the effect of reducing taxes
and encouraging greater public improvements.
It is our judgment that our readers should
vote “ yes” on this amendment.

Amendment number two should also have
the approval of farm folks. It is too long for

This trend is ‘a cause of apprehension to thous-

ciple of protection. In no other respect is the cry

the matter of foodstuffs. Either the American

tary service, students at colleges and univers-

ities, teachers in the public schools, members

of training camps, members of the legislature
or families, commercial travelers, and employ-
ees upon railroads and "boats.

Amendment number three has a joker in it.
It is written in about the same clever language
that fooled a good many on the amendment
submitted. last year to increase the salaries
of circuit judges. It reads:

8130mm 21. The Governor and Attorney

General shall each receive. an annual salary 1

of five thousand dollars. The Secretary of
State. State Treasurer, and Auditor General
shall each receive such annual salary as may
be prescribed by law. They shall receive no
fees or perquisities whatever for the perform-
ance of any duties connected with the once.
The Governor and Attorney General. now
receive five thousand dollars. The salaries Of
the other state officers are fixed by the Consti-
tution at twenty-five hundred dollars per year.
It is the purpose of the above amendment to
take the salary-fixing power from the Consti-
tution and give it to the legislature. Better
vote “NO. ” If the minor state officials can
show the people that they are entitled to high-
er salaries and will tell them plainly just what
they need, the people will amend their Consti-
tution to give it to them. But we ought not to
delegate this power to the legislature.
Amendment number four would empower
the legislature to enact laWS relative to the
hours and conditions under which “men, wom-
en and children” may be employed. The leg-
islature now has the power to regulate the
working hours of women and children. The
above amendment would extend this power to
apply to the working hours Of men as well. We
believe this amendment should be defeated.
The conditions under which men work may be
a matter Of public concern, but the hours a
man may work is a matter of agreement be-
tween employer and employee. If you agree
with us vote “NO” on this amendment.
Amendment number five is the notorious
"school amendment.” It reads as follows:

SECTION 16. All residents of the State of
Michigan between the ages of five and sixteen-
years shall attend the public school in their
respective districts until they have graduated
from the eighth grade: Provided, That in dis-
tricts where the grades do not reach the eighth,
then all sons herein described [in such dis-
trict shol complete the course taught therein.

SECTION 17. The legislature shall enact all
necessary legislation to render section 16 ef-
fective.

The effect of this amendment would be to
compel 120, 000 students who are now attend-
ing 2001private and parochial schools to attend
the pub schools. The total cost to the state
of acquiring the necessary facilities for teach-
ing these children would amount to over twen-
ty million dollars, the interest on which would
be over a million dollars. The annual cost of
teaching these students would be over seven

million dollars, making a total additional state '

tax of more than eight million dollars. Is the
game worth the candle?

The South as :1 Competitor

HE NORTH must reckon with the south

as a competitor in the growing of grain
crops. The white Of the cotton fields is giving
away to the gold Of wheat. This year many‘
parts of the south and southeast have grown
all the wheat they need for home consump-
tion with a little to spare for export. As long
as cotton prices soared the south was little in-
terested in soaring wheat prices but when the
cotton market began to get shaky about the
time the war closed the south turned envious
eyes to the apparently good fortune of the
northern wheat growers. The southren plant-
ers saw that while the world might scimp on
cotton goods it must to survive hang on to the
stall of life. Thus it is that lands which have
never before grown grain this year yielded up
fine crepe of wheat which even at present pric-
es will at the lanter- better dividends than

cotton. While it is not probable that grain’

We farm women would welcome any-
, thing that will lighten our work
‘ still' many-of us will not have these
"conveniences, at least for a great
.m‘any years to come. Why not ask
women about the ‘helps’ they now
employ to lighten their work? Sure-
ly there are a great many farm wives
who, from their years of experience,
have found ways and means to man—
age, and I know there are a great
many farmers’ wives, myself includ-
ed, who work all day and part of the
night and never seem to get any—
where. Can’t you spare us a space
to discuss our problems? Managing
children, papering and painting
rOOms, (I at least, have all this to
('10,) how to dress our families; best
_ colors, materials, etc., best method
of washing and ironing, baking and
cooking, arrangement of the rooms;
cupboards, closets, pantrys, etc., even
the bedding they use and how to
make it, all of these would be of the
utmost interest to me. Also quick
methods of mending and darning.
Won’t women send recipes, their
‘very own’ tried and true, for dishes
within the reach of all and tell just
how much each recipe will make?
I would even like to know the best
kind of a cistern to have, and the best
kinds of flowers; in fact everything
pertaining to a farm house and its
surroundings.

“Needless to say, we are subscrib-
ers to THE BUSINESS FARMEB and read
it with interest; in fact, we may
have to do without a great many
things but will always find a way to

“You will know from the tone of
this letter that I am—A New Farm-
er’s Wife, St. Charles, Mich.”

Thus reads a letter we received
recently. There are many “new
farmers’ wives” in Michigan who are
anxious to learn the same things our
St. Clair reader has written about
and we wish to help them all we can.
How many of you, my dear sisters,
will also help? Surely, your mind
.must go back to the early days of
your married life and the hardships
you went through, as you read the
above letter and picture the new and
strange problems of household man-
agement confronting our reader.

If you select one, two or all of the
subjects she mentioned and you are
familiar with and would write to us
about them so that we could publish
the letter on our page you would not
only be helping this young woman
but hundreds of others would be
everlastingly grateful to you.

There isn’t a farmer’s_ wife in
Michigan that hasn’t some favorite

“recipe—cake, pie,’ bread, pudding or
cookies—something that you always
prepare when company is coming.
Why not share it with your sisters?
Then there are candy recipes, recipes
for making pop-corn balls, different
ways to cook chicken, your favorite
kind of sandwiches, and many other
things that we are all interested in.

MAKING WORK EASIER ON
THE FARM

HE WOMAN on the farm is en-

| titled to every convenience in

view of the important work she

is doing. The kitchen is the heart of

the farm, and the farm is the heart
of the nation.

It is even more difficult to get help
here than elsewhere, for those who
would earn money are so apt to pre-
fer factories with their fixed hours,
free Sundays and holidays, or. work-
ing conditions in towns where they
can go to the “movies’ evenings, or
spent their mon-

able to say nothing of the added
comfort.

The care of keroSene'lamps is not
pleasant, and they ‘are' more'or less
dangerous, the empty lamp being a
greater menace than 'the filled one.
Besides, th [old-fashioned lamp does
not light upfthe home to make it
cheerful and attractive in the even-
ing, and so' the young people ” are
likely to plan to “go elsewhere.

One'resourceful farmer found that i

the electric power‘passedon a cross
roads half a mile away. By inter-
viewing the company, he was assured
that if he would set the poles from
that poiont they would do the wiring

and deliver such current as he might .

require. Now barns, cellar, home and
porch are electrically lighted at a
surprisingly economical cost. The
electric power does the washing, heats
the flat iron, makes the coffee, pumps
the water for the bath room, heats
the electric pad to warm the beds

after a long,

tessen shops to

supplement the larder. It is but
fair that the work be made as easy
as possible. It is hard enough at
best.

Many times the house was built
without thought of the tiresome na-
ture of the Work to be done. Perhaps
there are three or four steps up which
coal or wood must be carried or ash-
es taken down. Someone has estimat-
ed that in the average farm kitchen
the worker there lifts the equivalent
of two thousand pounds, one foot high
unnecessarily, every day, and it might
be added that she probably walks ten
or fifteen miles farther than she need
to, because of inconvenient arrange-
ment of pantry, cellar stairs, range,
wood-shed door, and the line upon
which she hangs her towels. It is a
relatively inexpensive job when the
time is just right, to remove those
troublesome steps altogether, or at
least to make them broad, low, and
easy, in place of narrow and steep.
The farm men themselves can easily
lay cement walks to the pump, barn,
and hen house, and just think of the
saving of'mud and mopping! ,

In one farm home, father and son
cemented the cellar bottom which had
been a. soft, spr-ingy. dirt floor for
fifty years. They cemented the floor
of the new garage, put in neat walks
about the house, built a cement well
sweep, and shaped ornamental stone
and cement pillars to mark the en-
trance to their grounds. Naturally
these improvements which cost little,
added substantially to the appearance
and value of the property.

Wherever possible, a basement
heating plant should be installed to
do away with the litter of stoves and
the constant attention which stoves
require. Hot water, steam, or hot
air as may seem desirable, can be put
in. . The saving in fuel is consider-

easier.

Farm lighting plants of various
kinds have been worked out, but as
any of these call for some initial out-
lay, the system should be endorsed
and satisfactory before being put in.
If 'no such arrangement can be made
through the harnessing of a stream of
water or the use of a gasoline engine,
there are still to be had some very
satisfactory lamps which give a won-
derfully clear, strong light because
of the application of scientific prin-
ciples and the use of special mantels.
These lamps burn either kerosene or
denatured alcohol, and one at least
can be had for‘the living room for the
long winter evenings.

Dusty carpets and the tiresome
broom have given way to hardwood
floors, rugs and vacuum cleaners. The
hardwood flooring may be had in thin,
narrow stock and laid directly over
the old floor. Most farm men do this
work themselves, blocking each board
securely to prevent cracks, and put-
ting down a quarter-round at the base-
ment angle to make a neat finish. By
doing one floor at a time it will not
be long before upstairs and down-
stairs will be completely refloored.
The greater warmth and the ease 'of
caring for the‘rooms will well repay
the extra expense.

It would not seem to be necessary
to mention an efficient range for the
farmer’s wife, or an abundant supply
of dry wood or coal of the right size
and quality, yet many a family is
buying medicine for indigestion caus-
ed by doughy bread, baked in an oven
long since past doing good work. We
pay for whatever we need, so it is ad-
visable to have a good stove and to
pay for it, rather than to endure the
discomfort of ill-health and to have to
take all sorts of unknown drugs. A
cheap stove in the beginning is rarely
a cheap stove in the end. Choose one
with almost plain surfaces and little

are much more easily cared for then
elaborate designs. ..

There should be a fireless cooker,
for even in the winter time the farm-
er’s wife Will find one of these dosh»
able to cook her cereal, to boil her
hams, and to bake in when she is
sewing or attending to work in the
other part of the house .

A quick heat stove for summer is
a necessity. Select one that bears
the endorsement of the Fire Under-

writers’ Association, and yet will give .

cooking surface and permit the heat-

ing of water.

A bread and cake mixer, a wash»
ing machine, and a food chopper,
will all find their places and. seize
time and material. A refrigerator
costs no more for the dweller on the
farm than the' one in thecityh In
fact, it can be maintained much more
cheaply, for the men folks can put
up plenty of pure ice in the winter
time. A good-sized ice house may be
very easily built of either wood or
concrete, and once it is in place, will
last for years.

Every ice house should contain
a cold storage roof, where a quart-
er of beef, a side of fresh pork,
poultry, eggs,_butter, milk, and
fruit may be kept. This will give
an opportunity for the best of coun-
try life during warm weather, and
there will be no need of going to the
nearest town for ice cream, lemon-
ade, or cool, crisp salads or ice cold,
fruited drinks. The refrigerator can
be conveniently placed and a drain
piped out of doors, so as to do away
with the lifting of the melted wa-
ter.

One farmer who objected to the
expense and trouble of building an
ice house for years, finally yielded
to his wife’s wishes and built mo
filled one. The first year he esti-
mated that it more than paid'forr
itself in the food it saved from spoil-
age, to say nothing of the 'trips1to
town during the busy season. which
it made unnecessary, and the-com-
fort and convenience of ,hev‘ing
plenty of ice.

If there is a wellskept lawn about
the house, it will save a great deal
of work for the‘children- will not
get nearly so dirty nor will there be
the danger of accidents to flesh and
to eyes from sharp weeds and stubs.
An uneven area of ground about the
house can be plowed up, and the sur-

‘face made even by drawing in a few

extra loads ‘ofdirt, the surface on-
riched and seeded, all this work be-
ing done at odd times. When the
sod is well formed, the lawn can be
rolled each. spring and kept perfect-
1y level and free from holes or rough
places, with a minimum of work. It
will then be a simple matter to go
over the lawn with a well sharpened
lawn mowen and to keep it in st-
tractive condition.

Children on the farm often get eve-p.

vere colds going out of doors in the
damp grass on summer mornings. A
closely cropped lawnlwill dry out
hnickly, and the children can ejgy

of parents to maintain private or

WHICH VERSION WOULD YOU
CHOOSE?

.AM MUCH interested in ydur art-
icles, especially in what our
neighbors say about our schools.

Some of them are much in favor of
having the bible read in them, and
others much opposed to it. Those in
favor of it speak of the Bible as
though they thought there was only
one kind of Bible in existence and
that one is the only one that should
be read not only in our schools, but
also in our homes, and whoever is
opposed to it is apt to be called un-
patriotic, un—Christian, un-American
or some other unworthy name, but
we should not judge too harshly as
they may have good reasons for their
opposition.

,if they were all allowed,

"Erna—113mm is a religious» book, . it

j’being'i‘ the only rule of faith» for.,many

persons. and our school laws pro-
hibit religious reading in our schools,
thus, the Bible, as well as other re-
ligious books, is prohibited, either
with comment or without it. Our
school laws are all right, just as they
are, and do not need to be amended,
,or made over, and we, as law abid-
ing citizens should obey them, as we
should obey any of our other laws.
But, if the Bible were allowed in our
schools, the question is: Which ver-
sion would you prefer? As there
are many men of many minds, there
are Bible versions of various kinds,
each differing from the others; and
the read-
ing would make strife and discord.

It might be interesting to consider
some of these various versions. Leav-
ing the avestas of the Hindus, the
Vedas of the Persians and the Horan
or Mohammedan Bible, we will notice
the better known versions. The
first of those is the Jewish or He-
brew Bible. It is a grand old book,
perhaps the oldest in existence, con—
taining all the books of the Old Tes-
tament, but none of the new, as the
Jew does not believe the Christian
religion. It gives the history of the
human race, from the beginning, also
the law, which Moses received from
God on Mt. Sinai; the psalms of
David, the proverbs of Solomon, and
the history of kings, judges and
prophets. One book in it, E‘cclesias—
cus contains 51 chapters.

Next in order is the Catholic Bible. .
This might be called the unabridged
as it contains all the books of the
Old Testament, and also, all the
books of the New Testament. The
books of the New Testament were
written by the Apostles in the first

   

f ’ (199)15 ‘

century of the Christian era. {“10-
King James version seems next. It
is an “abridged” or (shorthand)
edition of the Catholic Bible, trans-
lated and copied from it- in the six-
teenth century. ‘ -‘ ‘

When translating it from the Latin
into German, the translator cut out
and excluded from the Old Testa-
ment, seven books, containing ‘13?
chapters by his own private judg-
ment publicly expressed. Perhaps
paper was scarce and he had to Hoov-
erize a little. ”This is the version
used by Lutherans, Adventists and
other denominations.

Next comes the real American
Bible. It is thoroughly American,
first, last and all the time; being
made in America, by two Americans,
Joseph Smith and Sydney Rigdon, at
Rayette, New York, in the year 1830;
nearly eighteen hundred years after
the New Testament was written.
They were digging in the ground (so
the story goes) and found two gold
plates, with unknown writing upon
them. Then an angel came and
translated the writing for them and
the result was the “Book of Mor—
mon” or Mormon Bible.

Article 8 of the Latter Day Saints,
or Mormons (which is the same)
faith reads thus: The Bible is cor-
rectly translated, is the word of
God, and the book of Mormon also
is the word of God,-thus placing it
on equal terms with the Old and the
New Testaments. Some people
might prefer it because it was made
in America, but it looks to me like
sacrilege to call such ’a th1ng a
Bible, but tastes differ, as well as
versions as there are many men of
many minds, many birds of many
kinds; many fishes in the sea; many
men who don’t agree. Which ver-
version would you choose?——J. 0. 8.,

told you when I asked you to write
to me about the fair which you at‘
tended that you not only had a
chance to win a prize but you might
make some little boy or girl very
happy. I cannot award the prize
yet because letters keep coming, and
I want everyone to have a chance,
but as soon as I feel sure I have re-
ceived all of them and they are

N OLD shepherd was trying to-

get his sheep together, but he

seemed to be having a hard
time. Little Florence, who was
driving past with the vicar stopped
and asked him where his faithful dog
was.

“Poor Old Cop,” he said, “I must
hang him tonight, for the boys threw
a stone at him and broke his leg."

“Oh, don’t hang him,” cried the
little girl. “Come, let’s look at him,"
and they all went into the house.
The vicar found that the leg was
not broken, and said all that it need-
ed was careful nursing.

So the little girl sat up all night
and bathed the poor swollen leg with
hot water, saving the dog’s life.

When she grew up, Florence Night-

“There are several kinds of collies,
the most popular being the old-fash-

comes the smooth coated collie. He
is of value in the snowy regions-be-

"We have unusual
intelligence, for mere
dogs. While primar-,

are so keen that, in
some instances, we

superior of all war dogs, but we are
best known as shepherds.

”You will and the Scotch Collie in
many countries, but few people know

is frequently made to live a useless
and hampered life!"

If the School Amendment is adopted:---

   

It will dump 120,000 extra pupils on the already overburden-
ed schools of Michigan; 43,61 1 in Detroit alone.

You will have to, pay $50,000,000.00 to $75,000,000.00 to
provide schools for these pupils.

It will take years to build these schools. At least 3,000 school-
rooms will have to be equipped. '

AN You willing to bear this unnecessary expense?

 

‘ Right now there is a shortage of 150,000 teachers in Arnerica.

Michigan will need from 3,000 to 6,000 more if this amend-
ment is adopted. . .
. Where are you gohsg to get them? You will not be able to
get the teachers from the schools which will be outlawed.

Your tag binder: will be increased by $7,000,000 annually to
pay the salaries of the additional teachers needed.

Are you able to bear this burden?
The Christian day schools are now caring for these 120,000
children.

They are doing so entirely without any expense to the State.

They stand for the highest ideals of Christian manhood and
womanhood. in war their graduates have fought and died on all
of America’s battlefields. ln peace they are lawabiding and sub-

erica’s best talent on program includ-
ing Governor Cox and Senator Hard-

farm bureau, farmers’ union, co-op-
erative associations, agricultural col-
leges, extension workers, experiment
stations, and national departments of
agriculture will help to make this
Congress 9. worth while meeting.

This Congress is an open forum.»
For ,40 years it has helped point the
way to better farming and helped to
blaze legislative trails that led to
better things for American agricul-
ture.

Every farmer in America is wel—
come. Those who come should not-
ify their Governor. ‘He will appoint
such persons as delegates. County
farm agents will assist those who do-
sire appointment.

There will be discussion of “Na.-
tional Farmers’ Day.” Labor has its
“Day.” The black man has “Eman-
cipation Day." Columbus has his
“Day" on October 12. The farmer
should devote one day each year in
paying tribute to his. profession—-
farming.

The Congress will discuss plans
for interesting farm boys and girls
so that these juniors will get more
recognition. There should be a farm
boy and girl congress held in eyery
agricultural county. Give junior
farm folks a program. Let them

GEannn FARMER FOR STATE
TREASURER;
ROBABLY few of our

for state treasurer on, the Demo-
cratic ticket. He is Frank J. Sawyer
of‘ Grand Blanc, Genesee county,
who says that he can be elected if
Republican farmers will scratch their
ticket in his favor.

Mr. Sawyer is thegd’eScendantyof
pioneer settlers of the county in
which he lives. His grandfather, on
the paternal side, was Col. Edward
Sawyer, who came into what Was
then the unsettled Territory of Mich-
igan in 1836. His mother’s father
was Gen. C. C. Hascall, land com-
missioner under President Andrew
Jackson.

Sawyer was born in 1867 on the
farm which he now owns and oper-
ates, and which originally belonged
to General Hascall.

He was educated in the
schools of the district in which he
lives and the business college at
Pontiac.

 

FRANK J. SAWYER

Sawyer shows his lineage and his
training in the brand of active con-
structive citizenship he has displayed.
and in the interest he has taken in
the farmer’s problems and the solu-
tion of them. He believes in co—oper—
ution on the part of farmers. He was
elected president of the c-operative
elevator association. .in-‘flisand Blane.-
The co-operative elevator idea was
new but Sawyer put forth every ef-
fort to make it a success.

Sawyer also helped organize the

He learned the great value of co-
operation during the world war. He
worked day and night with the peo-
ple of his community in the interest
of the country and its cause, serving
as an executive member of the Grand
Blanc chapter of the American Red
Cross. He was identified with other
war organizations. .

Another activity Sawyer's friends
point out as an example of his prac-
tical citizenship is his work among
the rising generations of Americans
in the organization and management
of the boy scout groups of his home
town. He says: .-

“No country is better than its cit:
izens, and it is up to, us of the pres-
ent generation to do all we can to
make good citizens out of the ris-
ing generation."

RESULT OF STRAW VOTE

Because of the short time devoted
to taking the straw vote only 107
votes were received, yet they seem
to indicate which way the wind will
blew in the rural districts next Tues-
day Harding received 46 votes, Cox
24, Debs 31, Christensen, 1, Wet-
k—insgfi. The vote given Debs, is of
courso a greatsurprise, yet it only
bears, out our radiation that
Will secure the argest. vote ever cast
by the Socialist party- In fact, we
look to see the Socialist vote this
year double or treble any previous
year.

Any number of the ballots re-
ceived contain such comments as
"Am a life-1611g Republican but shall
vote for Cox" If any Democrats
voted for Harding they failed to dis-
closetheir political identity. It is,
of course, conceded that Harding
will carry Michigan by a substantial
majority. This majority will prob-
atny be less, however, than the nor-
mal Republican majority of the
state. ‘

Farmer Must- Have an Even! Break

'As mentioned at the beginning of
this communication, patience and
forbearance must be practiced if the
farmer would see an early Solution
of the problems which confront him
but there are phases of the present
situation that' call for the applica—
‘t‘iOn of something stronger than the
neutral passive virtues. The Ameri—
can farmer-has a right to demand
\justice at ,the'hands of the govern—
‘men't' under which he lives. He has
a right to demand the discontinuance
of gambling in the preducts of his
toil. He has a right to demand
credit privileges equal in extent to‘
those which are extended to the men
who merchandise his products. If
he is refused the loan of money, for
legitimate farming—or feeding oper-
ations, he has a right to ask the rea-
son fill? and he has a right; to expect
the government which he helps to
suppert to intervene in his behalf.

of capital that have combined forces

for the purpose of pounding down

That farm organizations are men-

truthfully made concerning the or-
ganizations with which they have to
deal. Doubtless much will be ac-

American farmer will never get eco-

'The Milk Producer-5’ Association

crate a plant of its own for bottling
30, 000 pounds of milk,- daily; stuck
eubscr’ithOns are being taken and
the money made available train this
undertaking will b used ‘,3 estab-
lish a plant. The 100, 000 Bord‘én
plant for manufacturing condensed
milk located at Belvidere has boob
closed until further notice and the
milk producers may rent or purchase
this plant ,IOr their uses. The pres-
ent outlook for dairy products in the
district in which Belvidere is locat-
ed, is far trOm encouraging at this
Writing: demoralized marketing con-
ditions have thrown a large amount
of milk into the wholesale market
and prices, at retail, have dropped
from 13 to 10 cents per quart. “A
tremendous yield of ensiiage and
corn have solved the food and for-
age question but farmers, who have
recentl. yenlarged their herds " of
milch cows at great expense, lire at
a loss to know what to do with their
output. ’

 

 

 

OF INTEREST To LIV}: STOCK
GROWERS

The September' number of the
Monthly Crop Reporter prepared by
the Bureau of Crop Estimates com-
putes the total number of stock hogs
in the limited States on Sept. 1 as
56. 534, 000, as compared with 62,-
073,000 on Sept. 1, 1919. Iowa.

,maintains its. supremacy as a hog-

producing sta.,te being credited with
7, 573, 000 stock swine. Missouri has
a stock hog population of 3, 759, 000.
Illinois ranks third having 3, 460, 000

stock hogs, nearly 1, 000, 000 less
than on Sept. 1,1919. E
The Bureau of CrOp EStimdtes

states that there was a not reduc-
tion of 6 per cent in the number of
cattle on farms of the United States
during July as compared with a ’re—
duction of 1. 3 per cent in July, 1910.
Hogs increased during July 1. 9 per
cent compared with a reduction of
1. 8 per cent in July last year. The
birth rate for both cattle and hogs
continues to be less than during cor-
responding periods of 1919. This
estimate is based on actual changes
on 10, 000 farms which are supposed

to be an index to changes‘on all
farms. ..

..don't pay farmers to bring ’e’minto
town where the folks can git 'em.

, Well mebbe things is cheap out on
theafarms, guess mebbe they be——-
sI've‘been told that farmers git only
$5 or .40 .cents a bushel for apples

-’ ianr a‘ fellertold me t’other day‘ of
' .“i‘buying‘peaches out in the orchards

star 60 cents a bushel—an’ squashes
'an’ punkins—melons an’ tomatoes,
cucumbersvan’ cabbages, a whole lot
of such stuff is layin’ in the fields
jest a hankerin’ for somebody to
,take'em' an’ give ’em a~home, while
here in town we’re a payin’ darn
good prices for the same kind of
etui! an’, glad to gitpit even after
its lain an’ withered up with age.

‘ Apples are sellin’ out of the stores
right here 'for six an’ eight cents a
pound—that’s considerable more’n
86 or 40 cents a bushel ain't it? An’
all kinds of veg’tables bring good
prices .too, an' peaches sell here all
the way fromrone seventy five to
three dollars a bushel, more than
fifty cents I'll say, an’ kinda seems
to me its bOut time we looked into
these matters an’ see if there ain’t
a remedy—some way fer the farmers
to git'ridpf their stuff at a fair price

"an' for the consumers to git what
they want to eat an’ still have a little
mite leftto pay rent an’ buy a scut-
tle or two of coal. ,

When so much stuff is goin’ to
waste on the farm ’cause it’s so
cheap it don’t pay to take it to mar-
ket an’ at theA‘same time folks are

.payin' high prices for said stuff in
term, seems to me there’s likely to
be a colored gem’man layin’ in the
fence semewheres, mebbe they’re in
the stores, I dunno.

'Now here’s my solution of this
whole problem an’ while it may not
meet with .your approval still an’
all it won’t do no harm to try it out.
' Bein' a great believer in the value
of printers ink, when judiciously
applied, I’d jest suggest that farm-
ers havin’ stuff to waste would, thro
their local paper, jest tell the folks
about it—let ’em know what you’ve
got, where you live an’ that the said
stuff is‘ to be had out at your place
fresh an' at a reasonable price. An’
by a reasonable price I don’t mean
more’n they’d have to pay in the
stores for it but a price that is fair
to producer an’ consumer, make your
-motto “Live an' let live” an’ stick
to it. . ,

Most. everybody now—a—days has
an automobile or a Ford, which
answers the purpose, an’ they often
drive out into the country—distanCe
don’t make so much difference‘now
you know, an’ if they knew where to’
go, would be glad of the chance "to
’ pick up something that might be go-
in’ to waste an’ to pay a reasonable
price for it too. Then you can git
reg'lar'customers this way—auto
customers so to speak, who will buy
their butter, eggs, poultry, veg'tables,
honey—anything they need an’ that
you have to sell an’ will come right
to your door and git it as long as you
are reasonable and make your pric-
es right an' give first class stuff
fresh an’ well put up.
a darn bit of use of iettin' anything
so to waste on the farm ’cause there
is folks enough to gobble it up if you
‘only let 'em know where you live at
anf “it’ll kinda put a crimp into the
merchants in town, that want to buy
farmer’s stuff for a song and have
said. farmers sing the song [themselv-
es, an' then charge war prices with
income tax‘added when they offer
the camelstuff for sale. , l , ,

built 1n America’s fourth city.

 

Control your own mind, then abide only by your own decmon'

THE LATE WAR has given to the world
many new expressmns wh1ch were added

R

-_ to the American vocabulary ' ‘.

camouflage, SeCtor, Doughboy, Tank, PrOpaganda, etc. -

No Word was giVen more pertinent meaning, however, than
“propaganda,” and its deceitful uses during the War by the
enemy Were so pronounced that it has become a practice to

be abhOrred.

Just now a Species of‘ propaganda is being directed
against the organization of independent packing companles

It ought to be easy for any clear-thinking man or woman
to imagme the source from whence this‘ propaganda eman-
ates. - ' ,. ' ’

Surely the old time interests which haVe so long controlled
the LivestOck markets and distribution Of meat products in
Michigan will not sit idly by and see another packing house

The Detroit Packing Company or its officers have only the mest har- _
monious feeling towards other packers now in the Michigan field. We be- . -
lieve there IS ample room for all and KNOW that it will be to the decrded I
interest of the Livestock Producers in this state to have a Packing Plant Of

> modern, sanitary and up-to— -date construction, amply financed, in, the City of

Detroit and wish their help and Support. The Detroit Packing Company
will soon have such a plant 1n full operation. -

It IS quite apparent that this smoke- -screen of‘ ‘propaganda” has not been
taken very seriously by the farmers agndé- stock-growers of Michigan, , because
to date many hundred farmers haVe become active owners of the _capital
stock of this corporation. 1 / ., , . _ _

We invite the fullest 1nvestigation of every man or woman Who has _the
best interests of the livestock industry 1n Michigan at heart, either by mail
or by personal visit and inspection of our plant- and property at Detroit.

The Detroit Packing Company
