Whatever else may fail

Linking city, village and farm, crossing mountain and
wilderness, the telephone system challenges Nature in
her strongholds and battles her fiercest moods.

Out on his lonely "beat" the telephone trouble-hunter
braves the blizzard on snow-shoes, body bent against
the wind, but eyes intent upon the wires.

North, south, east, west—in winter and summer, in
forest and desert—the telephone workers guard the
highWays of communication. Traveling afoot where
there are no roads, crawling sometimes on hands and
lmees, riding on burros, or motorcycles, or trucks, they
"get there” as they can.

When Nature rages to that point where few things can
stand against her, when property is destroyed and towns
cut oil, the telephone 13 needed more than ever. No
cost is too much, no sacrifice too great, to keep the wires
Open. If telephone poles come down with the storm, no
matter how distant they may be, no matter how difficult
to reach, somehow a way is found, somehow -- in

blizzard, hurricane, or flood -— the service is restored.

Whatever else may fail, the telephone service ~must.
not fail, if human efi‘ort can prevent it. This is the
spirit of the Bell System.

STATE TAx LEVY 6m ‘11 1111111101!
REDUCTION of 32, 000, 000. or

‘ . more in the state tax levy next
year is forecast in the closely
trimmed budget fer the coining bien-

nial period, which the budget com».

mittee of the State Administrative
Board was completing today.
Although no official announcement
regarding the budget had been made,
it was believed that the total fofTho
fiscal year or 1923- 24 would be ap-
proximately ¥2,000,000 less than the
state tax levy of more than $17,000,-
000 this year. Further reductions,
in the recommendations of the bud-
get committee, may be ordered by
the State Administrative Board be-
fore the budget is finally presented
to the Legislature next_ week.
A $30, 000 ,000 Budget

It is understood that the budget“

total which will represent ‘the' race
ommended appropriations for insti-
tutions and departments—With the
exception of the State Highway De-
partment which members of the bud-
get committee hope to finance from
sources aside from the general tit——
will be in the neighborhood of 830, -
000, 000 for the coming two years.

If that sum should represent the
total appropriations made by the in-
coming Legislaturo for which state
taxes would be levied during the
next two years it Would represent a,
saving of more than $7, 000, 000, as
the state tax in 1981 was more than
$20, 000, 000 and in 1922 more than
$17, 000, 000.

Two years ago the Legislature
was presented with requests total-
ing nearly $70,000,000, and the Leg-
islature slloWed but half the amount
requested. The budget, as it will
be presented to the Administrative
Board, represents only the tax clause
appropriations. In addition the cor-
poration tax brings in Moth-lug like
$6, 000, 600 a year, which gnu into
the general fund. It is reported that
Gov. Groesbeck will urge the Lexis-N
tutors to remove the limit of $10, —
000 provided in the ”Corporation Tax
Law and it the Legislature makes
the change the revenue from that
source will be considerably increased.
Whatever amount it is increased will
probably mean a corresponding cut
in the state tax.

Closing General Fund

The needs of the highway depart-
ment are understood to constitute
the principal Worry of members of
the budget committee. The depart-
ment, it is said, would dike a lots]
of about $8, 000, 000 or more-a year
for maintenance and the creation of
a sinking fund for hiskway bonds.
It will get $3,500,900 or $4,000,000
in 1923, from the automobile license
tees. In addition, if its requests
were to be met, it would take $4,
000,000 or $5,000,000 from the gen-

eral fund. That this amnout. will

not be taken from the general fund,
however, seems ‘to be the prevailing
opinion among members of the com-
mittees. A majority of them holistic
the legislature will enact a. gasoline
tax or boost the automobile license
fees sufliciently to provide the need-
ed money to take care of the high-
way department.

The prospective $2, 000,600 reduc-
tion in the state tax levy is based
on the state tax as it now stands.
The reduction may be much granitic?

some Tax, Will Solve Highway Problem

F.S. Newton, of Saginaw County, takes Issue with Horatio Earle who Advocated One Mill Property
’ . ' Tax as More Equitable '

“ ARMER” Earle is worried lest
the State Highway Department
have to' go to the legislature
‘ and “beg for money.’-’ '

He says .We support the University
of chhigan to educate the rich and
exempt“ the rich from
" taxes on their. land.‘ Who owns the

his cars by the way? The hard

pressed farmers. They are not, gen-
erally speaking sporting Cadillacs,
Winton’s and Paiges. On the other
,hand who are the majority of the
land owners? The dirt farmers——
net the dude farmers, like..the dis-

tlngnlshed advocate of an extra mill

test on real estate. .

Considerate isn't it proposing to

. the discouraged farmers to sell or
give away their property it unwilling
or unable to pay their over—weaning

taxes. . .

Again the clty “farmer” falls over
in his attempt to excoriate the gaso-
line levy in one breath as discrimin—
ating in favor 0! Henry “Ford and

the next declalming it is a thrust at
the auto industry! That’s the cat

pressed motor manufacturers aren’t

pot a dollar or two more e‘year to
help in the highway upkeep and the
buildings. Oh, No! They’re both-
ered about the possible check that
might ballot on the auto industry

» by requiring it to stand on its own
feet and pay for the roads itself de—
mands. Let them, in the words of
the noble Roman, “if they don’t want
to pay. sell or get out!” ' _

Too bad! That army of gasohne
collectors! How about the swarm
of employees, runners, up and run-
ners down, of our State and County

.. highway departments? Surely Hor—
atio should be-better informed than
to imagine such mountainous difilcul-
ties in a tax collected at its source.

In this connection note that Ohio
and several of our neighboring states

Importance to the tax-paying farmers of Michigan.

drive us over. Once the farmers of
Michigan are forced to quit. we’ll
then realize that agriculture was in-
deed our basic industry. We can’t
go on much longer pyramiding prop-
erty on a single industry, and that
of a mushroom sort. As between
the motor industry and agriculture
it lsplain which way “Good Roads
Earle” leans. He says, “Let the
farmerssell out/if: How can they
when all want (if sell and no one
to buy? Where have his eyes been
as he tours about in his fine ear,
that he has fail-ed to note the path—
etic “For Sale” signs on farm after
farm and it he ever drove off the
trunk line he’d see enough aband-
oned farms and not bad‘ones either,
to set him thinking in a more prayer-
ful mood. When the American
farmer's back is broken What do you
suppose will happen to the automo-
bile and tractor industry. _
“Good roads for the farmer” has
been a very much abused shibboletln
The program of our State Highway
Department has been to put all the
emphasis and spend all the public

,money on trunk lines with no re-

gard to farm and marketing needs
or with those needs treated as pure—
ly Incidental. Why is it that very
many roads thru our best farming
country are now, after this orgy of
spending, in worse condition than
in the old dirt road days? Because
the highway taxes are so over—bur-
densome that townships have felt it

unavoidable to cutoff at the one-

point possible and in ever so many
townships-of Central and Northern

Michigan no work has been done on
local roads for the past two years.

What benefit having a $315,000
a mile concrete boulevard that the
produce can only reach by being
hauled thru trackless mud? Again
these pieces of state built pavement
thru our up state villages, which our
Highway Department designed to or-
nament the Dixie and other snake
trails, are of no use to anybody-ex-
cept the few contractors who were
enriched by the building. When the
farmer with his wagon reaches this
insult to his intelligence, his haul is
done. There is no escape from the
conclusion that our state highway
oflicials have been guilty of wilful
extravagance or worse. Had the
bond issue been suspended and the
petition of over 100,000 real Michi-
gan farmers for a road holiday been
considered by our State Administra-
tive board, we should for one thing
have witnessed a big come down in
the prices demanded by the little
pool of road contractors. The farm-
ing industry would have had little
chance to recover from the smash-
ing blows of 1920, and our State
would not suddenly find itself sad-
dled with a billion dollar load of
highways built by federal, state and
county appropriations, but everlast—
ingly costly and difficult to maintain.
We have simply gone highway mad.

But now the question js. How
are these collosal works which were
expensivel‘y, and as a rule, poorly
constructed to be kept in repair?

Says Feeding Potatoes Will Save Market

‘ T is the matter that we farmers can not find some way to
take care of the over-production of potatoes this year? Are
there not men among us that can start a successful feeding

campaign? '

We are told by our Experiment Stations that potatoEs are worth

from 25c to,30c per bushel for feeding to cows.

Now if people do

not want potatoes to eat suppose we turn them into buttertat. We
surely cannot lose anything by feeding them they are only worth about

13‘: a bushel and
more unless we do cod them. .

chances are that they will not be worth much

11' everyone would teed obout tour bushels out of every eight they
have there would be no potatoes, to throw out next spring and we
probably would get 50c or 75c a bushel for what we have to sell.

mental works which have made many
a small man great and lined up in
favor of the road officials all the
politicians thru the pork—barrel al-
lotment of bits of pavement to every
little town. Yes, dump on to the
hapless land owners more taxation.
They’re getting off too easily. But
don’t, for goodness sake, rub the fur
of the foreign tourist or the commer-
cial truck operator the wrong way.
They are performing too important
a public service speeding with heavy
loaded cars over our costly roads.
They- haven’t had enough unearned
favors with their snouts in the pub:
lic throug and _should be freely per-
mitted to get their feet in too.

What does H. S. say to the declar-
ation past passed by the Ohio State
Grange that land is too heavily
taxed? ‘

The fact that Brother Earle and
the writer are both non—resident
farm owners. But the writer, not
being a wealthy manufacturer, not a
high salaried state official (nor ex-ot-
ficial) and also living out of the con-
fines of the metropolis, happens to
be closely in touch with the hard
working tillers of the soil. No one,
who knows their harassed condition
at the present time, can fail to be
impressed wth the fact that their
limit has been reached. After years
of hard sledding and a complete
smash in prices of everything they
produce with no corresponding drop
in the prices of what they have to
buy, they now see skyrocketing taxes.
They cannot stay on the farms- and
continue to produce if it continues.

What 'it means to our institutions
to have our land workers menaced
with extinction may be faintly im—
agined when we recall that in every
past crisis in our Country’s history

, the American farmer has been the

bulwark of liberty and of law and

order. They have been the saving

element in cosiety, without which it

would surely have gone on the rocks.

'What now is to save our social fab-

ric most seriously jeopardized as it

is by national and international

strife, if the independent yeomanry

of our nation is wiped off the slate—~—

' or forced into factory jobs? Is the

motor industry, with its breeding of

discontent, luxury and laziness?

Princes and lords may flourish and
may fade,

A breath can make them as a breath

But a bold peasantry, their country’s
pride,

When once destroyed, can never be
supplied.

It is a brilliant flash of imagina-
tion to conjure up an army composed
of all owners of motor vehicles.
“Richmen, poor men, beggar men,
thieves; lawyers, doctors, merchants,
chiefs,” with the enraged washer-
woman of our households bringing
up the rear, and all this motely host
flourishing bludgeons and broomj
sticks over the oppressive penny tax
on gas. But a clearer insight into

prevailing public sentiment of the:
times would have suggested that

How your 1921 dollar was spent.

OST State Highway Departments
started from small beginnings,
probably none of them smaller

than the Michigan Highway Depart-
ment when it was first organized,
July Lst, 1905. It then consisted of
a Commissioner with a salary of
$2,500 a yea1,a Deputy at $1, 800 a
year and a stenographer at $1, 200.
That year there was an appropriation
of $30, 000 of which $10, 000 was for
departmental expenses and $20,000
with which to pay state rewards on
roads for one year, but since only
20 miles of roads were built that
year there was plenty of money to
meet all the demands for state re-
wards and some money to spare.

It is also of interest to note that
as late as 1912, the appropriation
for departmental expenses had not
exceeded $10,000 a year. It is
however, that the
Legislature of 1911 passed a budget
allowing the Department $15,000 a
year but $5,000 of this was cut off

. by the Governor when he signed the

bill so that for the first eight years
the department was obliged to scrimp
along with this small amount which
covered salaries, traveling expenses
and other departmental items.

This caused the Commissioner to
“The work of the

in proportion to the number of miles
constructed but on account of the
fact that no greater appropriation is

' , available for the expense of the De-
‘ partment than there was when or-

ganized, it has been impossible to
give the Commissioners building
roads, the detailed instruction which
is for the best interest of the State
and the community where the road
is being built. Many counties are
adopting the county road system,
nine during the past year, making
44 in all. Many of these are bond-
ing for large sums for improving
roads and unless careful supervis-
ion is provided to direct construc-
tion, much money will be wasted."

his condition of things existed
untll the Legislature Of 1913 made
an appropriation of $18,000 for de-
partmental expenses for the year
ending June 30, 1914 and $20,000
for the following fiscal year. In ad-
dition to that the Legislature of
1913 passed the State Trunk
Line Act which made appropriations
of $200,000 for the first year and
$300,000 for the second year for the
purpose of paying trunk line rewards

and building trunk line'bridges and

“paying salaries and running ex-
penses incurred by this Act.” This

I; was the beginning of great things

‘was also directed

     
  
   
     

.‘or the Highway Department and al-

so marked the beginning of trunk
line highWay and bridge construc—

tion on a scale heretofore thought
to be impossible in Michigan.

I have before stated and wish to
again’ repeat my regrets that this
Trunk Line Act was not called the
Alswede Act, thus giving due recog-
nition to Senator Alswede through
whose untiring efforts in the Legis-
lature it became a reality.

Under .the provisions of this Act
the Highway Department expanded
rapidly. The Commissioner was in-
structed to “cause preliminary sur-
veys to be made and establish routes
of the several divisions of the state
trunk line highways herein provided
and he is empowered to employ such
engineers, clerks and other employ-
ees as may be necessary to carry out
the provisions of this Act,” which
was given immediate effect.

The State Highway Commissioner
“to design' all
bridges and culverts and construct

alllbridges greater than 30 it. clear“

span on state reward trunk line high-
ways,” which made the employment
of a bridge engineer an immediate
necessity.

In this connection it is again
worthy td note a recommendation of
Mr. Earle, first State Highway Com-
missioner, in the first Biennial Re-
port of the Department, which was
as follows: “Give the State High-
way Department the means to em-
ploy a first class bridge engineer who
will save the state, through the
townships and counties, many times
his salary and expenses each year.”

As the result of the expansion of
the Department made necessary by
these new laws, at the close of the
fiscal year 1914, the Department had
35 employees and a monthly payroll
amounting to $2,673.52.

In 1915 the Legislature passed the
so-called Covert Act, Act 59, P. A.
1915, which provided an additional
method for improving and construct—
ing public highways, paid by a spec-
ial assessment upon the lands bene—
fitted thereby. Under the provision
of this Act, petitions come direct to
the State Highway Commissioner for
all inter-county roads, and also for
all roads that might be petitioned
for in counties not working under
the county road system. At present
all of the counties of Michigan have
adopted the county road system and
all are functioning under it except
Oceana and Benzie which counties
have never put the county road law
into operation.

In 1916 the first Federal Aid Act
in recent years was passed by Con-
gress which was followed by the
Michigan State Federal Act passed
by the Legislature of 1917. It was
impossible to begin actual construc-
tion of Federal Aid roads until the

'Michigan Act was passed assenti-‘ng

to the provisions of the Federal Gov-

Tax Money Went

The Question now uppermost in every Taxpayers’
Mind is answered by Frank F. Rogers, ‘ _ _
State Highway Commissioner ; ,3

ernment and also! appropriating
funds to meet Federal money.

This first Federal Aid Act made
a cash appropriation of $75,000, 000
which was to be divided among the

several states, one- third according to ._

area, one- -third according to popula-
tion and one— —third according to post
road mileage. This provison brought
to Michigan nearly three per cent of
the Federal appropriation or a total.
of, $2,173,510.04

Under the provisions of this Fed-
eral Aid Act and all subsequent‘acts
up] to this time, .the states must
match Federal money, dollar for dol-
lar, in order to secure it but under

the terms of this particular Act the

maximum that could be received
from the Federal Government was
limited to $10,000 a mile. ‘

While Michigan, under the pro-
visions of the Trunk Line Act, had
been building trunk line bridges and
even now was constructing roads
under the provisions of .the Covert
Act, this Federal Aid Act made it
manditory that the states, in“ order
to secure this money, should take ac-
tive charge of the construction and
maintenance of all roads in which
the Federal , Government partici-
pated. In order to comply with
these requirements the Legislature
of 1917 provided an appropriation of
$225, 000 for the (fiscal year ending
June 30, 1919. This Act placed much
responsibility and all of the details
of construction upon the state and
the department grew rapidly until in
June, 1917, it had 67_ emplOyees and
a monthly payroll of $5,965.18.

During'February of 1919, the Fed- '.

eral Government passed another ap-
propriation of $200,000,000.’ which
made available for Michigan $5.786,-
785.48. By this time, however,.the
state began to see the necessity of

completing the state trunk line mile—r

age of Michigan which now. covered
nearly 6,000 miles under the pro-
visions of the Trunk Line. Act of
1913 already .mentioned in the ar-
ticle.

It became apparent, however that V,
funds were to be,
matched promptly and if the' trunk ‘

if the Federal

line system of the state was to be
completed within the lifetime of the
present generation, that work on
these roads would have to proceed
more rapidly.

Accordingly the constitutional
amendment ‘was submitted to the
people at the April election of 1919
which provided that the Legislature

might issue not to exceed $50,000.:

000 in bonds for highway constru3
tion. This money, for the most part,
was to be used in the building 01'
trunk line roads and bridges includ-
ing such roads as the Federal Gov-

in.
The bond issue carried by an over-
whelming majority at the April elec-

tion of 1919 which was followed by ,

    

ernment was willing to participate;

the passage of the so-called Aldrich
Act, Act 19, P A. 1919, which pro-
vided among other things that “all
trunk lin_e highways established un-

_ der provisions of Act 334, P. A. 1913,

as amended, shall hereafter be con-
structed, maintained and improved
in accordance with the provisions
hereof under the direction and con-

trol of the State Highway Commie-h

sioner.

'The Federal Aid Act originally
passed in 1917 was also amended so
as to co-ordinate with the A’ldrich
Act just referred to, both of which
provided for a certain amount of fi-
nancial 'participation from the coun-
ties on all trunk line and Federal
Aid construction, the financial assist-
ance from the counties being the
same whether the roads were con-
structed wholly from the bond money
or partly from the bond money and
partly with Federal Aid.

These laws are still in force, hav-
ing been amended slightly by the
Legislature of 1921 but still ’call for
assistance frorn the counties as fol-
lows: Counties with a valuation er

trunk line mile of less than $50, 00 -

pay only five per cent of the cost of
building trunk line and Federal Aid
roads while counties with a valua-
tion of over $50,000 per trunk line
mile pay 25 percent of the cost of
construction of such roads. Coun-
ties of intermediate valuations range
in between these extremes, the rise
being by steps of 2% per cent in
each case as the valuation increases.

A third Federal appropriation of
$75, 000, 000 was made in November,
1921, which made available to Mich-
igan $2, 249, 532. 43 of additional
Federal funds, the total Federal
funds being more than$10,000,000.

"Again in June, 1922 the Federal
Congress made a fourth appropria-

tion of $50,000,000 of which'Michir

ga-n’s share was“$1,499,688.29. This
Congress also tentatively agreed up—
on an additio‘naL appropriation of
$65, 000 000 and $75, 000, 000 for
succeeding years but this money will
not be available until it has again
received the approval of Congress.

Under the provisions of the sev-
eral Acts above referred to, viz. the
Covert Act, the Federal Aid Act and
the Trunk Line Act, the State High-
way Department has already placed
under construction 2, 821 miles of
road at a total contract price of $46,-
886 421. 68.

"It goes without saying that these
millions of dollars worth of road

MR. HENRY FORD

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Continued from Dec. 23rd issue.)

Before long others than Mr. Ford
were convinced that the horseless
vehicle was a practical commercial
proposition, and a company was or—
ganized in Detroit with Mr. Ford as
the chief engineer. But at the end
of, the year little progress had been
made in perfecting the machine and
it was decided to let Mr. Ford go and
employ another draftsman. This
company later became, the Cadillac
Motor company. Mr. Ford’s car was
returned to him and the inventor or-
ganized a company of his own. This
second venture likewise proved a
failure, but reverses served only to
strengthen Mr. Ford’s confidence in
the future of his invention.

He decided to perfect a racing car,

sold his old macnine and devoted all
his energies to devising a car that
would establish a speed record.
Rumors of his new plans spread and
many Detroiters visited the Ford
shop to inspect '- the new marvel——
that was to be. Tom Cooper, the
champion bicycle rider, visited De-
3tr,oit and offered-his cooperation and
financial assistance. Cooper later
was killed in an automobile accident
in Central Park, New York. An in—
tenesting story of this period has to
do with one “Coffee Jim” and his
financing the Ford racer. The
story, sad to relate, is unfounded; a
man who operated a night lunch car
in Detroit took a great interest in
Mr. Ford’s work, but advanced him
no money. The financing of the
racer, which was called 999, came
from the farms in Springwells and
Dearborn township.

Mrs. Ford has vivid recollections
of that period. “Expenses were so
great that I thought we never again
would have any money for our-
selves,” she said.

Work on the car went steadily on,
for a race had been arranged and Mr.
Ford was eager to win it. To test
the carburetors a steep grade was
necessary and the steepest the inven-
tor could find was in the cemetery.
Here the final tests were made and
the car was finished on the day set
for the race, which was held on the
Grosse Point race track, ten miles
away. For days Alexander Winton
had been on the ground with his car
tuning it up for the great event.
No other cars were entered, but a
hilarious crowd was present to see
the strange contest. The Winton
car was finely finished and the low-
slung, strange looking 999 seemed
outclassed. But the race is not al-
ways to the beautiful, and 999 won.

In 1902 Mr. Ford began experi-
menting with a two-cylinder car.
The work was carried on in a small
wooden shop on Park avenue and

‘ ‘ Grand River, back of the Parker and

‘ Webb building. The messenger and

.. handy man about the place was John

éy‘Wandersee; Gus Degner was the

mechanic, and C. H. Wills was drafts--

a prominent Detroit coal man. Mr.
Malcomson was greatly interested in
Mr. Ford’s project, and often visited
the shop. Sometimes he was ac-
companied by his bookkeeper, James
Couzens, in whose judgment he had
great confidence. _ 4 -

One day Mr Malcomson remarked
to Mr. Ford, “Henry, my boy. you
are working mighty hard, but you
are not getting ahead fast enough.
What you need is a barrel of money."

Henry Ford’s gray eyes twinkled.
“I reckon I’ll have to make haste
slowly,” he replied. “I’ve tried two
companies. already and it looks like
I am too venturesome. I’d better
stick to the slow pace I am following
now. If we could build a lot of
machines and make them cheap
enough all of us workingflin this
little shop would be rich.”

“You’ve got grit and it takes grit
to put over a new idea,” declared
Malcomson. “I’ve had my eyes
open and before you know it Haynes,
Duryea and Winton will be so far
ahead that you’ll never catch up. It
looks like we’ll be obliged to organ-
ize a company—a big company. We
ought to get together a hundred
thousand dollars; that would be
enough to start the wheels going.
I would be willing to put up about
twenty thousand in cash. You can
put in old 999,” and he pointed to a.
corner where the machine stood.
“You’ve used up a deal of money in
experiments—l expect you have
spent all of seven thousand, and your
time has been worth a lot. Suppose
we start in as equal partners; I’ll
furnish the money and you the hard
work—and genius.”

Henry Ford, a joker himself, fear-
ed his friend was jesting. “And
then what?” was his guarded ques-
tion.

“Why then, we’ll move this big
working force of yours over to a
building in Mack avenue. I'm near-
ly positive I can organize a company.
Jimmy Couzens has saved up about
two thousand dollars. He is young
and level—headed and can afford to
take a chance. Besides, Jimmy
knows a lot about business. I’ll add
him to the force and I’ll peddle the
stock. We can try it anyway. If we
fail—”

“We won’t fail,” Henry Ford in-
terrupted; “we~ can’t fail. We’ll
either succeed or I'll die in the at—
tempt." He shut his lips grimly;
then a cheerful smile appeared and
he added, “we can have a lot of fun
doing the right thing.”

Even at the time it was Mr. Ford’ s
idea to make good cars in large num-
bers and for a low price. In a few
months the plant was moved to the
Mack building and Mr. Ford was en-
abled to devote his time to perfect-
ing his machine. The astounding suc-
cess of the Ford company dates from
that day.

It is interesting to note the rise
of the men who worked with Ford at
that time. As the business grew
Mr. Ford sent John Wandersee all
over the country to investigate and
study chemistry, and today Mr.
Wandersee is head chemist at the
Ford company. Gus Degner is sup-
erintendent of inspection at the same
plant. Harold Wills was sent about
the country to study steel. It is he
who invented molybdenum, the
toughest and lightest of steels. At
the time of. the Chicago. Tribune

libel trial it was testified that Mr.
Wills had received a salary of $80, ,-
000, a,year for some years. 1., Mr Wills

aries'and bonuses that have made.

They have shared in
they had shared in the original risk.

Mr. Couzens invested twenty-five
hundred dollars in the company and
organized and directed five depart-
ments—bookkeeping, time clerk,
purchasing agent, sales manager and
business manager; but he had no as-
sistants; he did all the work. Mr.
Malcomson found it more difficult
than he had expected to sell the com-

pany’s stock ,but finally secured the,

following purchasers:

John S. Gray, 3 rich candy maker,‘

who put in ten thousand, five hun-
dred dollars in cash.

John Anderson of the law firm of
Anderson &. Rackham, attorneys for
the company, who invested five thou-
sand dollars.

Horace Rackham, his partner, who
likewise invested five thousand dol-
lars.

Albert Shelow, who invested five
thousand dollars and later "sold his
holdings to Mr. Couzens for twenty-
five thousand

V. C. Fry and C. H. Bennett, who
bought five thousand dollars’ worth
of stock each and later sold out to
Mr. Ford and Mr. Couzens for twenty
five thousand each.

Alexander G. Malcomson, who put
in twenty-five thousand, five hundred
dollars in cash.

Mr. Ford was given an equal
amount of stock for his assets.

At the end of twoyears'the larg-'
est stockholders in the company were
Alexander Malcomson, Henry Ford,

”James Couzens and John S. Gray.

The Dodge brothers offered their
foundry for, the making of the car
parts and each invested five thousand
dollars in the company and became
a director.

Back of the selling of one block of
stock is an interesting story. Both
Mr. Anderson and Mr. Rackham were
young attorneys and Mr. Malcomson
was their client. He talked to them
of the company he was organizing,
and Mr. Anderson, at once put his
money into it, “taking a chance,
as he said. Mr. Rackham’s case was
different. ~He lived only two doors
from the Ford home and had nod-
ding acquaintance with the inventor,
but his health was poor and he could
not aflord to speculate with his sav-
ings. So he went to a leading bank-
er for advice.

The banker took him to a. window.
“Look,” he said pointing to the
street. “You see all those people on
their bicycles riding along the boule-
vard? There is not as many as
there was a year ago. _ The novelty
is wearing off; they are losing inter-
est. That’s just the way it will be
with automobiles. People will get
the fever; and later they will throw
them away. My advice is not to buy
the stock. You might make money
for a year or two, but in the end
you would lose everything you pi'it in.
The horse is here to stay, but the
automobile is only a novelty—-—a fad. ”

Mr. Rackham was convinced. But

. CHAPTER V.
The Story of ,Magical Success

On October 1, 1902, Mr. Couzens
took a trial balance—An pencil-
which 8 Wed that the Ford com-
pany after three months of operation
was‘making rapid progress. By Jam
nary, 1903, the first commercial car
was sold, and soon orders began to
come in faster than they could" fill

them. One hundred and sixty-five .

cars were sold that year. A larger

factory, located on Piquette street,

was secured and the work went for-
ward rapidly. In 1905 the company
began to pay 6 per cent dividends.

In this 'Piquette street plant a
young bookkeeper named Khngen—
smith was employed at a salary of
sixty-five dollars a month. Mr. Ford
advanced him rapidly and in time,
Mr. Klirngensmith became Vice‘Presi-
dent and Treasurer of the Highland
plant. He testified in the Tribune
suit that for several years his salary
had been $75,000 a year. The draft-
ing room at the Piquette street plant
was in charge of Carl Emde. a Ger-
man, who took out his first naturali-
zation papers in 1902, and his second
papers in 1911. When the company
moved to the Highland Park plant
Emde was put in charge of the tool
room. This employee suddenly
found himself in the Spotlight of pub-
licity in the last days of the Ford-
Newberry senate campaign, as will
be told later.

Another employee at the Piquette
street plant was a pattern maker
[or
years has been manager of the River
Rouge foundry and tractor plant.

These are seine examples of the
way in which Mr. Ford has rewarded
the men who have worked faithfully
for him during long years. It always
has been a source of pleasure to him
to share his prosperity with his em-
ployees. .

l t t t

Following the famous race at
Grosse Point, when the Ford 999
defeated the Winton car, there Were
other races in various parts .of the
country, but in these Mr. Ford had
no part. Finally, however, he de-

‘ cided to rebuild 999 and make it the“

“fastest thing on wheels. ” Soon af—
terward it was decided to hold a race
against time on the frozen surface of
Lake Sainte Claire in' the ‘hope' of

'breaking the record then held by

Vanderbilt. The, race track was
built of cinders laid on the ice and
racing oflicials had come from many
cities to serve as judges and time
keepers. - Mr. and Mrs. Ford and.
had gone to
the lake the evening before and Mr.
Couzens followed them onV-the morn-
ing of the race. Mr. Ford was to
drive 999, for the event was all im-
portant to him.

Early in the morning the engine
was tested as a precaution, and to
the consternation of the officials in
the factory did not run well.. They
toiled over it like mad and finally,
two hours before the time set for the
race, the trouble was corrected", and ,
the. start made' for Lake Sainte

. Claire, then considered a long way

out in the country, although only ten
miles from Detroit. Distances have '
shrunk since that day. The weather
was cold and raw, with a high wind
that added to the discomfort of the
spéctatdrs. Mr Ford huddled in a
short thick coat of black curly- astra~

'bgnland wished 999 would arrive. ,‘

Forty years ago the first
National Light Kerosene was
sold for oil lamps It gave
a steady white, bright light
with a clear chimney and
a clean wick. Almost im-
. mediately it lifted itself out
ofthe ordinary CoalOil class
of oils and became famous as
a Kerosene with no smoke or
odor. People traveled miles
out of their way to buy it.

Today National Light
Kerosene is known as the
highest quality Kerosene on
the market.

For Oil Stoves

Use it in your oil stoves and
heaters. No impurities to
clog wick or burner. No
smoke or odor to cause ill
health.

For Incubators

Use it in your incubators,
its uniform heat will hatch
healthy chicks from every
fertile te. No 3%.: onous

KEEPING CIDER SWEET

What can I put into a 50 gallon

barrel of cider to keep it sweet?—

. 1). E. W., Hale, Mich.

———A fifty gallon barrel of cider may
he kept sweet by the addition of 0.1
per cent benmate of soda. This per-
ounces of henmatc of soda to fifty
gallons of elder.

Care should be taken immeasur-
ing thecider to which bensoate of
is to be added as too little
will resuIt in no preservative -ac-
tion, while if. too much is added it
might have a harmful effect.

Cider to which benzoate of soda
has been added cannot be used for
vinegar-making as vinegar is the
result of microbial fermentation and
the growth of microbes is inhibited
by the henzoate of soda.-~R. L.

ERROR IN “RIGHT OF TEACHER

111. the December ninth issue of the

Michigan Business Farmer on the

published an article entitled “Right

of Teacher to Punis’h Child” and in-

cluded in connection with this a

letter from me but you did not pub-

lish this letter as I had given it to
you I made the following state»
ment:

“The law..does give the school
board the authority to make and
enforce suitable rules governing the
external affairs of. the school.”

You, have given 11 111 such a way
‘13 to convey the opposite meaning
from what it is intended to convey.
111 your article it reads as follows:

“-’l‘he law does not give the school
ward any authority. etc.’

Will you kindly give the necessary
explanation and print this in the

CHAPTER XII
'For an'hour after Donald Mac—
Donald had pledged himself to ac-
company Jaonne and Aldous on their
pilgrimage to the grave in the Saw
Tooth Range the two men continued
to discuss the unusual complications
in which they had suddenly become
involved, and at the same time pre—
pared themselves a supper of bacon
and coffee over the fire. They agreed
upon a plan of action with one ex-
ception. Aldous was determined to
return to the town, arguing there
was a good straegic reason for show-
ing himself openly and Without fear.
MacDonald opposed this apprehen-
sively.

“Better lay quiet until morning,"
he expostulated. “You’d better lis-
ten to me, an’ do that, Johnny. I’ve
got something under my shoulder
that tells me you’d better!”

In the face of the 'old hunter’s
misgiving, Aldous prepared to leave.
It was nearly ten o'clock when he
set back in the directioniof Tete
Jaune, Donald accompanying him as
far as the moonlit amphitheatre in
the forest. There they separated,
and Aldous went on alone.

He believed that Joanne and the
Blacktons would half expect him to
return to the bunglow after he had
seen MacDonald. He was sure that
Blackton, at least, would'look for
him until quite late. The temptation
to take advantage of their hospitality
was great, especially as it would
bring him in the company of Joanne
again. On the other hand, he was
certain that this first night in Tete
Jaune held very large possibilities
for him. The dectective instinct in
him was roused, and his adVenturous
spirit was alive for action. First of
all, he wanted proof of what Mac-
Donald had told him. T‘fl‘t an at—
tempt had been made to assassinate
the old mountaineer he did not for
an instant doubt. But had Joe De-
Bar, the half—breed, actually ,betray-
ed them? Had he soldhimself to
Culver Rann, and did Rann hold the
key to the secret expedition they had
planned into the North? He did not,
at first, care to see Rann. He made
up his mind that if he did meet him
he would stop and chat casually
with him, asthough he had heard
and seen nothing to rouse his sus-
picions. He particularly wanted to
find DeBar; and, next to DeBar,
Quade himself.

The night carnival was at its
height when Aldous re—entered the
long, lighted street. From ten until
eleven was the liveliest hour of the
night. Even the restaurants and
soup-kitchens were crowded then.
He strolled slowly down the street
until he came to a little crowd gath—

ered about the bear equestrenne

The big canvass dance-hall Ia few
doors away had lured from her most
of her admirers by this time, and
Aldous fou d no difficulty in reach-
ing the inner circle. ' He looked first
for the half-breed. Failing to find
him, he looked at the woman, who
stood only a‘few feet from him.
Her glossy black curls were a bit
dishevelled and the excitement of

lithe 1112111 had idded the yivid colour-
‘ing of her some“: 14933.11

ad. cheeks.
sinuous in
11:3

   
 

Her body was also]: and,

 

black eyes flashed fires of deviltry ‘i

and allurement _ , /

For a moment he stared into her
face. If he had not been looking
closely he would not have seen the
swift change that shot into the siren-
like play of her orbs. It was almOSt
instantaneous. Her slow— —travelling
glance stopped as she saw him. He
saw the quick intake of her breath,
a sudden compression of her lips,
the startled, searching scrutiny or a
pair of eyes from which, for a. mom-
ent, all the lanquor and coquetry of
her trade were gone. Then she
passed him, smiling again, nodding,
sweeping a hand and arm through

her handsome curls as she flung a‘

shapely limb over the broad back of
the bear. In a garish sort of way
the woman was beautiful, and this
night, as on all others. her beauty
had nearly filled the silken coin-bag
suspended from her neck As she
rode down the street Aldous recalled
Blackton’ 8 words: She was a friend
of. Culver Rann’ 5.
this fact accounted for the strange;
ness/of the look she had given him.

He passed on to the dance hall.
It was crowded, mostly with men.
But here and there, ,like so many

faces peering forth from living
graves, he saw the Little Sisters of
Tete Jaune Cache. Outnumbered

ten to one, their voices rang out in
shrill banter and delirious laughter
above the rumble of men. At “the
far end, a fiddle, a piano, and a clari-
net were squealing forth musie. The
place smelled strongly of whisky.
It always smelledof that, for most
of the men who sought amusement
here get their whisky in spite of the
law. ,There were rock-hogs from'up

the line, and rock—hogs fromdown ..

the line, men of all nationalities and
of almost all ages; teamsters, trail-

cutters, packers, and rough-shod nav- '

vies; men whose daily task was to
play with dynamite and giant pow-
der; steel—men, tie-men, and men
who drilled into the hearts of moun-
talus.
had looked upon'this same scene,
and had listened to the trample and
rear and wild revel’ry of it, marvel-
ing that to-morrow the men of this
saturnalia would again be the build-
ers of an empire. The thin, hollow—
cheeked faces that passed and re-
passed him, rouged and smiling,
could not destroy in his mind the
strength or the picture. They were
but moths, fluttering about in their
own doom, contending with each
other to see which should quickest
achieve destruction. .

For several minutes Aldous scan-

ned the faces in the big tent- hall, .-

and nowhere did he see DeBar. He
dropped out, and continued leisurely
along the lighted way until he came
to Lovak’s huge black-and-white
striped soup- -tent.
and until twelve, this was as crowded
as the dance—hall. Aldous knew
Lovak, the Hungarian.

Through Lovak he had found the
keyithat had unlocked for him many
curious and interesting things asso-

ciated with that powerful Left Arm ‘-
of the Empire Builders—Abe Slang "

‘with the; utter abandon and joy of
the.Galic‘ian, So that noise they made
was like,» the noise ofnflfty pigs at
fifty troughs. Now and then DeBar,

'He was turning to -- go when his

Lovak had not seen DeBar‘. "But
he-had news. That day the authori-

quart1bottles of whisky, artistically
. imbedded in the leaf-lard fat. The

had confiscated a barrel of “kero-

’Aldous went on.. He looked in at

a dozen restaurants, and twice as
.many soft—drink emporiums, where
.phonographs were worked until they
Were cracked and dizzy. He'stopped
at)a_small tobacco shop, and entered
:to buy himself some cigars. 'There
«was one customer ahead of him.
‘sHe was lighting a cigar, and the
light of a big hanging lamp flashed
on-adiamond ring. Over his sput—
tering match his eyes met those of
John Aldous. . They were dark eyes,
neither brown nor black,.but dark,
with the keeness and. strange glitter
\of --a serpent’s. He wore a small
clipped moustache; his hands were
white; he was a man whom one
~- might expect ~»to possess the sang
.firoid of- a devil in any emergency.
For barely an instant he hesitated
inthe operation of lighting his cigar
;,_asjlie,saw Aldous. Then he nodded.
3: “Hello, John. Aldous,” he said.

“Good evening, Culver Rann,” re-
plied Aldous. . ' .

" For amoment his nerves tingled—
the next they were-like steel. Cul-
.Yel'F Rann’s teeth gleamed. 'Aldous
smiled back. They ,were cold, hard,
rapierlik-e glances. Each understood
‘now that the other was a deadly
xtenemy, for Quade’s enemies were
also Culver Rann’s. Aldous moved
carelessly to the glass case in which
were 'the cigars. With the barest
touch of one of his slim white hands
Culver Rann stopped him.

“Have one of mine, Aldous,” he
invited, opening a silver case filled
with cigars. ”We’ve never had the
pleasure of smoking together, you
know.” . ‘

“Never,” said Aldous, accepting
one of the cigars. “Thanks." ’

“As he lighted it, their eyes met
again. Aldous turned to the case.

"‘Hal-f a dozen ‘Noblemen’,” he
said to the man behind the counter;
then, to Rann: “Will you have one
on me?”. . .

"With pleasure,“ said Rann. He
added, smiling straight into. the
other’s eyes, “What are you doing
up here, Aldous? After local
colour?”

,“Perhaps. The
. me. '
“Decidedly ‘And I understand
that you’ve played an important part
in the. making of it,” replied Aldous
carelessly. *

' For a flash Rann’s eyes darkened,
and his mouth hardened, then his
white teeth gleamed again. He had
caught the insinuation, and he had
scarcely been able to ward ofi the
shot; ,

“I’ve tried to do my small share,”
he admitted. “If you’re after local
colour for your books, Aldous, I
‘possibly may be able to assist you-—
if you’re in town long”,

“Undoubtedly you could,” said
Aldous. “I think you could tell me
a great deal that I would like to
know, Rann. But—will You?”

5 There was a direct challenge in
his coldly smiling eyes. “Yes, I think

Ifshall be quite pleased to do 80,”.
'r said Rann.

:“Especially—if you are
long in "town.” There was an odd
emphasis on those last words.

He moved toward the door.

seeing him again he walked up and
down the street; It was eleven

past him, carrying with her a strong
scent of perfume. It was the Lady
of the-Bear.~ She was in a street

Q dress now, her glossy curls still fall-

ing loose about her—«probably ‘home-
ward bound after her night’s har-
vest. It struck Aldous that the hour
was early for her retirement, and
that 'she seemed somewhat in a
hurry.

The woman was going in the di-
rection of Rann’s big log bungalow,
which was built well out, of town to~
ward the river. She had not seen
him as he stood in the pool-room
doorway, and before she had passed
out of sight he was following her.
There were a dozen \branch trails
and “streets” on the way to Rann’s,
and into the gloom of some one of.
these the woman disappeared," so
that Aldous lost her entirely. He
was not disappointed when he found
she had left the main trail;

Five minutes later he stood close
to Rann’s house. From the side on
which he had approached it was
dark. No gleam of light shOWed
through the windows. Slowly he
walked around the building, and
stopped suddenly on the opposite
side. -Here-a closely drawn curtain
was illuminated by a glow from with-
in. Cautiously Aldous made his
way along the log wall of the house
until he came to the window. At
one side the curtain had caught
against some object, leaving perhaps
a quarter of an inch of space through
which. the light shone. Aldous
brought his eye on the level with the
space. ./

A half of the room came within
his vision. 'Directly in front of him,
lighted by a, curiously shaped iron
lamp suspended from the ceiling, was
a dull, red mahogany desk-table. At
'one side of this, partly facing him,
was Culver Rann. ' Opposite him sat
Quade. -

'Rann was speaking, while Quade
with his bullish shoulders hunched
forward and his fleshy red neck roll-
ing over the collar of his coat, leaned
aeross the table in a tense and lis-
tening attitude. With his eyes glued
to‘the aperture, Aldous strained his
ears to catch what Rann was saying.
He heard only the low and unintel-
ligible monotone of his voice. A
mocking smile was accompanying
Rann’s words. To—night, as at all
times, this hawk who preyed upon
human lives was immaculate. In all
waysbut one he was the antithesis of
the beefy scoundrel who sat opposite
him. On the hand that toyed care—
lessly with the fob of his watch
flashed a diamond; another sparkled
in his cravat. His dark hair was
sleek and well brushed; his bristly
little moustache was clipped in the
latest fashion. He was not large.
His hands, as he made a gesture to—
ward Quade, were of womanish
whiteness. Casually, on the street
or in a Pullman, Aldous would have
taken him for a gentleman. Now,
as he stared through the narrow siit
between the bottom of the curtain
and the sill, he knew that he was
looking upon one of the most dan—
gerous men in all the West. Quade
was a villain. Culver Rann, quiet
and cool and sauve, was a devil. Be-
hind his depravity worked the brain
which Quade lacked, and a nerve
which, in spite of that almost effem—
inate immaculateness, had been de-
scribed to Aldous as colossal.

Suddenly Quade turned. and Al—
dous saw that he was flushed and
excited. He struck the desk ,a blow
with his fist. Culver Rann leaned
back and smiled. , And John Aldous
slipped away from the window.

His nerves were quivering: in the
darkness he unbottoned the pocket
that' held his automatic. Through
the window he had seen an open door

' behind Rann, and his blood thrilled

with. the idea that :had come to him.
He was sure. the tWo partners in
crime were discussing himself and
MacDonald-—and Joanne. To hear
what they were saying, to discover

N increase of nearly $2,000,000.000- in
A the buying power of the farmers of

the country is the outstanding feature
of a survey of the soil crops and their“
markets for 1922. The valuation of farm
crops last year was $7,572,890,0(N), accord-
ing to the final returns of the Department
of Agriculture, 3 gain of $1,842,978.000,
or 32.1 per cent. ., over the valuation placed
on the crops on December 1,1921. The

slogan.

month shows an improvement in the trend of
prices paid for farm crops. Every report shows
Europe buying more of our Surplus crops that
have hovered over us like threatening clouds
the past two years.

Things have undoubtedly
farmers of America!

But it is a slow grind up the hill. Reminds
us of the days we used to slide swiftly to the
bottom of the long icy hill. Once in a While
there was a bare spot or a stone at the bottom.
Then we stopped with a dull, sickening thud.
Climbing out of the scrambled pile, tired and
bruised, we had to climb the long hill again.
Sometimes our feet slipped and we seemed to
lose what we had gained. It used to seem 0, so
much farther back up the hill than it did sailing
swiftly down.

Now, its a long way up the farmers hill. But,
We are already three~fourths of the way back
to where we started in 1913. It does you good
to pause a moment and look back over what
you have passed thru these past two years. That
is why the thoughtful reader will get a lot of

It is costing the factories of Michigan many
times what it should cost them to induce farmers

SHALL THE GOVERNMTENT FIX THE PRICE

VER since the government relinquished con—
trol of grain prices following the war there
has been an insistent demand that this con—

trol be restored. The farmer has suffered sev-
erely the past several years because of the un-
stable condition of his markets and the low
prices, and it has been argued that it wouldbe
to the benefit of the entire country for the gov—
ernment to create a subsidized board for the
purpose of purchasing grains outright from the
farmer and disposing of them as, the demand
would warrant. Nor has this suggestion come
solely from the ranks of “small—fry“ critics. No
less a personage than a former Secretary of Ag-
riculture has carried on an extensive propaganda
to create sentiment in fave;
and there are a number 0

this proposal.

Congressman Sinclair of North Dakota, 2. for—
mer Michigan boy, and not by the way a Non—
Partisan Leaguer, has introduced several bills
along this line. One or them was “pigeon—holed”
in turn at the last election. Sinclair expects to
re-introdu-ce his bill at the next session, and he
will have strong support from most of the mem-
bers of the "farm bloc.”

If the Senate finally puts its approval] on the
merchant marine bill, Congressman Sinclair will
have an excellent argument to present in support
of his own measure. The merchant marine bill_
is in fact .a subsidy to ship owners, and if Con-
gress can conscientiously and with good reason
vote to subsidize a few hundred private ship
owners it will have an embarrassing time explain-
ing why itmnnot also vote to subsidize six mil—
lion farmers, if in the final accounting the sub-
sidization does not cost the government a. cent.

Until the aflairs‘of the world become a little
more ordered the prices of farm products will
fluctuate over a Wide range. Would not some
kind of government control and price—fixing prove
a great influence in stabilizing the markets and
restoring prosperity to the; farms?

WHAT “WILL THE POOR BUYERS DO?
WHEN crop prices got caught on- the 1511 of
the war-aeroplane, prices of farm lands

everywhere went up. Nowhere, however,
did they reach the fabulous prices which were

paid in Illinois, Iowa and some of the Mississippi .

valley states. Five hundred dollars an acre bought
only an average quality of farm land. Most of
the sales were made by farmers attracted away

from the forms by the prospects of selling their

the prices of”single bulbs,.-much sought—after,
passed from hand [to 119.1111, though they were
of little intrincic value, until the market burst
over night.

There were. hundreds of farms sold 111 these

expect, except" during peak-wartime ass to
make a. flut- Mt from his investment. '

DANGER IN THE SHREDDER "

IT is a common thing these days to pick up a.
newspaper and read an account of some farm-
er losing one or both of his hands in a 00m
shredder. To lose one’s hands is not a pleasant
experience. Hands are very useful things to
have. Even the man Who works most with his
brain finds his hands convenient at times, But

for the farmer whose brain is practically useless

unless he can execute its bidding with his hands,

the loss of those appendages is certainly most“ "

tragic.

Most accidents are preventable. ‘
victims of the ordinary run of decidents who can- *—‘ .
not say, “If I had only been a little more care—
ful this would not have happened.” 80 with
the farmer who loses his hands in the corn
shredder or ensilage cutter. He would never
let his familiarity with the machine breed con—
tempt for its dangers. Danger lurks in every
mechanism driven by mechanical power". The
very Whirr'of revolving knives spells DANGER.
“Beware,” “beware,” they sing. But despite the
warning many stick their hands into the maw

'and the terrible accident occurs.

Take heed, dear reader, «it may be your him
next unless you are careful. Let safety come
before every other consideration, whatever your
work may be.

MICHIGAN CITIES PROSPERous

NE department store in the city of Detroit
is reported to have done a. business of $280, -
000 in one day during Christmas week. All
stores reported the largest business in their his-
tory. Detroit is undoubtedly the most prosperous
city in America today. Manufacturing plants, of
course, did it. Lansing, Flint, Grand Rapids are
prosperous too. All growing and will need more
fresh vegetables. fruit, dairy supplies, etc. ., train
our farms. They ought to help lower the taxes
too, if theypay their just portion of the states
expense. One way would have been a state in-
come tax on incomes over $5090. Things do ~
not look so bad for farmersiin'Michigan as they
do in other states. That is if we continue to
work together and are not led astray by rattle—
brained prophets of a farming business millenium.

" Clemenceau says that Germany is preparing
for another war. If the French Tiger should
contend that an egg which is crushed could
again gather its component parts together again
and mount of its own accord to its former rest—
ing place, we might believe him, for we have
great admiration for the doughty old Frenchman.
But when he says that Germany is capable of
waging another war now or a quarter of a century
from now, we know that he is talking in his
dreams. No egg was ever so helplessly crushed
as the German military machine.

The tax on gasoline to raise funds for highway
maintenance is a subject we are discussing pro
and can in these columns. It reminds us of the
sales tax discussion. The folks you expect to
be for it, are against it, and vica. versa. It is a
live issue in Michigan. YOu cannot avoid ar—
riving at a decision regarding it because nothing
can prevent its coming up for settlement by a
popular vote. We are presenting both sides by
the best authorities available, so if our readers

'PARENT-TEAOEER ASSOOIA
TIONS " ,

[ PARENT-teacher association is

a voluntary partnership of par-

ents and teachers and ‘others

whose object it is to surround little”

children with the environment most
favorable for their development.

_ This organization brings parents
and teachers together to study child
life in regard to care and proper
guidance in the home, in the school
and in the community.

It aims to cooperate with educa—
tional institutions intelligntlyi to
work forppublic welfare with regard
to health, morals, playground facili-
ties, children’s courts, mother’s pen—
sions, etc.

What would it mean to the child-
ren and the schools of the United
.States if every school would have
the cooperation of a wide—awake, pro-
gressive parent—teacher association.

In the state of California there are
more than 1,100 of these organiza-
tions cennected with the public
schools, with an individual member-
ship of over 53,000 parents and
teachers.

State Superintendent Wood, of
California, says of the movement: “I
believe in the Parent-Teacher Asso-
ciation because of the good it has
done and the good it promises to do.
An association of mothers and fath-
ers deeply interested in the schools
is certain to improve not'onl‘y the
school but the entire community.
Our Parent— Teacher Associations are
little democracies devoted to the ad-
vancement of the interests of boys
and girls. I am deeply gratified by
the growth of the Parent—Teacher
Associations throughout the State‘
during the last three or four years.
Ere long we shall realize our aim to
have a Parent—Teacher Association
in every community.” This is the
testimony of the State Superintend-
ent of. Public Instruction in the State
having the-largest membership. In
the United States there are now more
than a half millon members in par—
"ent—teacher associations. There are
organizations in every State.

, Where does our State stand on
the list? Can we afford to let other
communities progress wh1‘e ours
stand still? Why not have a parent-
teacher association in every school
by 1924?

Call the parents together with the
teachers in the schoolhouse, and see
what can be done to make your
school district the model for your
State. Communicate with other or-
ganizations in your State and find

out how they do it; exchange experi-
en-;ces cooperate; work together for
better citizenship, because the chil-
dren of today are the citizens of to-
morrow. '

underestimated, and where nature

' should dominate, I have been shock-

ed on every road that I have traveled
by huge billboards and advertise—
ments of the most flamboyant kind,

which irritate the eye and distort
the vision of what otherwise would
be unforgetable and inspiring. It is
much the same everywhere. In
Chicago the ' Michigan Boulevard,
with the lovely lake on one side and
grand buildings on the other,1un-
ning at enormous width for a long
distance, is one of the finest broad-
ways in the world; but it is spoilt
by a vulgar erection at the end, ad-
vertising something or other against
the sky in electric bulbs of rapid
and changing colors.’

 

SCHOOL LIBRARY
I wrote you some time ago and
Wish to thank you for your answer.
Now I want to ask another question.
Our Sunday School which is quite
small has a small fund wish to start
a library. Considering the high

time and for a nominal sum, the
books to be returned and others to
take their places. The .Public Li-
brary of Detroit has such a service.
Why not write and find out what ar-
rangement can be made. That plan
would give you a circulating library
which has some decidedadvantages.

' . HE. holidayl season is just past an’
. gone an’ of course most of us
has had a great time. The
an’ everything
turned out’ as 3we would have it—tor
most folks any Way. An' I’m think-
in’ now of all the happy-kiddies
——happy ’cause Santa Glaus came to
them an’ gave them the very\t ings
they wanted an’ some of th m the
things they really needed.

An’ I am also thinkin’ of the little
tellers that Santa missed this year
jest as he has missed them every
year since/they were born Say
folks! Do you know I am sorry for
the man or woman that has no little

kiddies to‘ make happy when Christ— 3

mas times comes?

I know the joy that comes to one
plannin’ and buyin’ the little things
or maybe, bigger things to make the
kiddies glad.

An:3it takes so little to make a
child happy! So you see I pity the

-ones [who have no kiddies to buy

for.. An’ oh how sorry I am for these

‘ who have'little tellers an' yet, on

account of sickness or misfortune,
are not able to do what they would
like to do an’ have to tell the little
ones that Santa could not come this
year. I can feel for them as I pict—
ure the disappointment of the little
boys an’ girls to whom some of
them Santa never omes—to them
Christmas means nothin"—it’s the
same as any other day unless some
one with a big heart, who knows
conditions an’ considers it a priv’-
ledge to step in an' help Santa out.

Yes, I pity those who have ‘no
little tellers an’ I sympathise with
those who have an’ can ’t do any thing
for’ em. But I have no patience an’
no love for the man or woman to
whom God has given little ones—---
who are able to do everything [or
them an’ yet do nothin’. Such folks
don’t know the joy of livin’! They
care. nothin’ tor the happiness of
little folks; they forget they were
ever children themSelves. Some ot
'em are so wrapped up in makin’
money they pinch a dollar or a n1 icklc
so tight an' have pennies always
before their eyes so they can’t see
anything else an’ they don’ t wam to
see anything else ’cause money is
their God an nothin’ else coun‘s
with them.

It they lose a horse or a cow or
hog, they take on somethin’ awful
—an’ yet they neglect the most val
uable' thing they have on earth ex—
cept .the mother ot the little ones
an’ the chances are they neglect
her too.

I always look with suspicion on
the manor woman who has no love
for children. Theme is somethin’
wrong in their makeup. An’ some—
how, I always feel like puttin’ my
hand on my pocketbook—it I have
one—whenever I meet up with one
of the kind.

Children were given us to be loved
an’ it’s up to us to love ’em an
treat ’em right.
little tellers but every child for they
have the same right to live an’ enjrw
life ’as we have. we were all little
tellers once. Many there are what
act'as though they never were—
they have no patiencewith kiddies
——act as though they’d like to see
’em boiled an’ made into soap or
somethin’. An’ yet the boys an’
girls of today will be the fathers an’
mothers of a few years hencewthey
will be runnin’ things then an’ the
old curmudgeons who are so cranky
to them now will be in their second

childhood—it they are allowed to

encumber the earth that longhan'
will be dependent on the very kiddies
whom they now look on with disdain.

Well, anyway its been a great
holiday season an’ now as I get back
into the harness for another years

weeks an’ find that I stored up Ilap-
piness enough to last me for the

EAR Nice» and NepheWI:——
Again Christmas has‘come and
gone and we are on the timesh-

Most girls and

boys go forward with shining eyes

eager to see what the future has in
store for them but the majority of
the older people like your fathers
and mothers or grandparents, or like

Uncle Ned, hesitate and take inven-

tory We stop a moment in our

daily work to balance the books,
or to count the good deeds we have
done during the past year and then

compare them to the bad ones we

did. Sometimes we are pleased with
the results but many times we are
not and then we decide that we will
increase the number of good deeds
and decrease the bad ones during
the next year. I know 'that many
girls and boys also do this but I
think it would be a great step taken
toward making this world of ours
a finer and better place to live in if
everyone, both large and small,
would stop and take inventory every
now and then.

If you will notice the people that
pass your home you will soon be
able to pick out the ones that stop
each day to perform some good deed
and the ones that do not. And,
dear boys and girls, you will find
that the tramp who calls at the back
door for something to eat and the
man known as "the miser” in your.
neighborhood are not of those try-
ing to make our world a little better
and brighter. Learn to stOp and
take inventory of yourself.

I certainly received a fine lot of
Christmas stories. Some of them
did not arrive until after the prizes
had been awarded. I wish that we
had space on our page to print them
all even though Christmas is over
but we cannot. However, we will try
and have another contest soon so
that all those who lost out this time
can try again—UNCLE NED.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Dear Uncle Ned and Cousins:—
Mav I snuggle in your cozy corner
and enjov “The Children’s Hour”
with you? I read our corner each
week and enjoy my cousins’ letters
very much.

I am fifteen years old and I am in
the eleventh grade in school. I, and
a brother and sister go to the Elsie
high school. I am taking four sub-
jects, American literature, physics,
modern history and algebra II. We
have our semester tests in about
three weeks. I like to go to high
school better than I did at the counv
We have a high school
assembly each month. The freshmen
had charge of the assembly this
month and they gave a very fine
entertainment.

I am taking piano lessons now.
I am in the fourth book. I like
music and so I get along all right.

I think Lydia Sounart’s story en-
titled “A Russian Santa Claus” very
good but I am glad our Santa Claus
drives a reindeer, aren’t you?

I am sorry to leave your corner
but I expect you will think I am
taking all the r00m. Won’t some
of the boys and girls who read this
corner please write to me. I will
try and answer all who write to me.
Well, good—bye Uncle Ned and
Your neice and cousin,
Margaret Cook, Elsie, Michigan.

body! How’s the world treating
you? If I’m thinking correctly, and
I think I am, I said in my last letter

for a. while to know how old I really
was. Those who guessed sixteen

that were wrong (naturally). I
certainly like to read, and my favor—

then the tires gripping the surface
of the track and the machine was
away like a shot. The hundred or
more spectators held their breath as
the little car tore along the track,
then cheered wildly as it crossed the
finish line. In a. few minutes the
timekeepers announced that Mr.
Ford had broken all records _by
making the mile in 39 4—5 seconds.
This teat made the car and its de-
signer known the World over.

That race and the previous one in
which he defeated Alexander Winton
were the only. speed contests in
which HenryFord drove his own car.
Shortly afterward Barney Oldfield
drove 999, at New York, Chicago, Los
Angeles and other cities and won
many successes, but the company’s
racing was destined to end soon in
a near tragedy. Frank Kulick was
driving a six cylinder car in a race
at the MiChl-gan State Fair when a
rear tire exploded, flew-oi! and struck
him-on the head. The blow stunned
Kulick and the speeding car crashed
through a fence. Kulick was ex-
tracted from the tangled wreckage
and hurried *to the hospital. As the
unconscious driver was carried away
Mr. Ford declared: “Never again will
I risk the life of one of my men in
this way." '

Never, since that day, has the Ford
Company enter a race.

Kullck recovered and is still in
the employ of the Ford company.
Likewise all the men who prepared
the cantor the race now hold im—

portant positions, with the company. ,
IA picture was taken of them when

the racer was completed. They were

CONTROL OF CATTLE LICEV
ATTLE lice are more or less
common in all parts of the
United States. They are found
mostly on underfed and poorly

housed cattle,,although they often
occur on cattle in good flesh and-
As a rule“

kept in sanitary quarters.
individual members of a herd are.
not infested equally, some béing in-
fested. much worse than others, be-
cause some cattle seem to be practic-
ally immune. Young and old stock,
and weak poorly fed cattle suffer the
Infested calves do
not thrive or gain weight normally

~during the winter season and will.

remain stunted until the coat is shed
in the spring at which time practic-
ally all the lice will disappear. The
loss in weight is sufficient to warrant
adopting~some method of treatment.

Cattle lice live upon food obtained
from the body of the host. The ir-
ritation caused by their feeding is
shown by the efforts of the infested
animals to obtain relief by rubbing

and scratching, and one will often

see animals with areas of skin where
the hair has been rubbed off and the
part bruised and raw from rubbing
against objects.

There are three kinds of lice that
are usually found on cattle, and are
commonly known. was "Short nosed
cattle lice,” “Long nosed cattle lice, ”
beth of which are blood sucking lice,
and the “Biting lice of cattle,” whose
presence is not as serious as that
of the former. All, however, are
treated in the same manner.

In the control of cattle lice.
plenty of nutritious food are essent-
ial to success, whatever method of
control “you choose to adopt.

There are two Commonly used
methods of treating cattle for lice:
first, hand applications and, second-
ly, by spraying. The method to
adopt Will depend upon the season
of the year, the remedies selected,
the number of cattle to be treated
and the facilities available. All ani-
mals in the herd should be treated
regardless of whether they show evi-
dence of being infested or not.

Of the hand applications, the com— I

mon prepared louse powders that
are on the market are useful in help—
ing to hold in check the parasites
during the season when the weather
is too cold for dipping or spraying.
Grease and liquid preparations
can be made up at homesvwhich are
fairly effective and practicable where
the farmer has only a few head to
treat and will give the matter his
personal attention. ,A small quanti—
ty of raw, linseed oil applied with a
stiff brush over the surface of the
body is very efficient. ‘A mixture
containing equal parts of lard, kero-
sene and sulphur is very useful
when applied in the same manner.
An efficient decoction can be pre-
pared by placing a pound of lark-
spur seed in a gallon and a half of
water and boiling down to a gallon,
this preparation has worked well in
the treatment of many herds. This
may also be applied with a brush.
For spraying the coal tar dips
will be found efficient if in making
up the solutions you will add about
ten ounces of vinegar to each quart
("1f the coal tar solution. The vine-
gar is added for its destructive ac-
tion upon the eggs of the lice. As
soon as you have finished Spraying
an animal it is well to. rub the so—
lution in well with a brush. Fur-
ther information on this subject may
be obtained by sending for “Farm-
ers Bulletin'No. 909,” United States
Department of Agriculture, Wash-
ington, D. 0.——Edw. K. Sales, Vet-
erinaryr~Division,‘ M. A. C. .

WILL siLAGE DETERIORATE?
Does ensilage deteriorate in feed-
ing' value if thrown down in a pile

and let to heat twelve to twenty—four

hours befOre feeding—J. E. S., Ed-
more, Michigan

——During warm weathe1 silage
should be thrown out of the silo as
it is used, as it will deteriorate con-
siderably if allowed to lay in a pile

‘and heat from twelve to twenty-four. 4»

hours before feeding. In cold

weather, however, it will not deter- ’

iorate any and it is often adviéable '
to throw it down at least twelve
hours ahead of feeding, throwing any

,frozen of the top' of the silo down

first and then some of the warm sil-
age from a little lower down on top.
If this material is then slightly pack-
ed in the silo chute, it will ofien
warm up enough to expel the frost "
from that which was thrown down
first and the entire mass will be bet-.V.
for as feed. This last will only ap-

' ply where the chute is warm enough

so that further freezing will not take
place. George A. Brown, Prof. of

FATTENING cow
1 have a cow to sell, one of our

‘cattle buyers offered 11/20 a lb. alive,

calls her a canner. I asked him what
she would be worth if I fattened her,
he said he would give me 3c. What
I Would like to know is if I can’t get
more for my corn if I fatten her ’*

~than to take 11/2c per lb. for the

cow and 300 per basket for corn,
have a feed grinder also. I have
never fed cows or fattened them.
How long does it take?—W. F. 0.,
Standish, Michigan.

It would not be profitable to fate .
ten a canner cow with corn at pres-.;
ent prices. It would be much better .

' for you to take 11/20 per pound for

the cow and sell your corn at 300
per basket than to feed the corn to
the cow and later sell her at 30 per
pound.

The transaction, if you were to
fatten the cow, would figure out
something like the following: One
canner cow weighing 800 lbs. would
be worth at 1%c, $12. 00. To make;
her weigh 1000 lbs. and sell for 3c
per lb. would require in the neigh-
borhood of 800 lbs. of corn and 800
lbs. of clover hay, for each 100 lbs.
gain or you would increase the value;
of the coy);r from $12. 00 to $30.00,
or $18. 00 worth. To do this would,
1equire about 1600 lbs. of corn and
a like amount of hay, which would
be worth more than $18. 00. —George,

COW SUFFERS FROM MASTITIS

I have a young cow that shortly
after calving began giving- long
strings of curdly, clotted blood from
one of her teats. The other teats
do not seem to be affected at all.
This is her first calf. Would be very
grateful for information as to cause
and cure. Is the milk from the
other teats fit for use?

We saved a colt by taking advise
given in your paper, and have pasted
all your columns in a scrap book for
reference. Thanking you in advance,
I am, A Constant Reader, Decker,
Michigan.

———The history indicates that your
cow is suffering from mastitis, the
causes of which are infection, re—
frigeration due to lying‘on cold
floors and traumatism. The milk
from the other teats would be fit
for use previding the quarters are
not all effected. As there is no
specified treatment for, mastitis I
would advise you to ‘consult your
local veterinarian relative to treat-
ment as it is very unsatisfactory to
successfully treat diseases by mail.

VALUE OF MEAT .
SCRAPS . '

-I have a flock of Barred Rocks
which I am anxious tohave lay thru
the winter. I can get the meat scraps
from one of the local -meat markets
free. How would you prepare them
for the chickens? Some say, just
throw them out as they are, but
seems as though there would be a
better way. The use of these scraps
will save the buying of commercial
meat scraps and cut down expenses.
Are the commercial scraps that come
in big cakes cooked or raw?—Mrs.
F. E., Flushing, Mich.

——Meat scraps are extremely palat—
able and stimulating. The common
method, however, of feeding the
green bone is to run them through
a regular bone grinder which reduces
the bone to smaller particles all of
which can always be taken into the
digestive tract. There is a high
feeding value to the bone, which, of-
course, is lost, unless the bone can
be finely ground. There area num—
ber of commercial bone grinders on
the market and frequently the
butcher will install one if sufficient
people will show interest in purchas-
ing the .green bone. The green cut
bone is used to advantage in forcing
early maturity, or heavy production.
This has an extremely stimulant ef-
fect on the entire digestive tract and
causes ovarium activity. It should
not bevfed in Quantities above 35
ounce per bird daily. One should
be rather cautions in feeding it dur-
ing warm weather. It is frequently
unsafe to feed the regular commer-.
cial beef scraps because I have noted
numerous cases of cannibalism Where
feeding of raw bone Was practiced
and suddenly this ply was curtailed.
The commercial scraps that comes in
large cakes referred to are undoubt—

FEEDING

not the feeding value of the beef
scrap and are rather inferior for
poultry feeding. The beef bones
and scraps are/.morepalatab‘le and
have a higher feeding value—E. C.
Foreman, Associate. Professor of
Poultry Husbandry, M A. C. , . 7

 

AND CALVES IN SAME
~ BUILDINNG

What do you think of housing
calves and turkeys in the same .build—
ing with just a light partition be-
tween? Is it harmful to either one?
J. W., Levering, Michigan.

TURKEYS

——I believe you could house the
calves and turkeys in the same build~
ing if partitioned off. Turkeys do
not require a particularly warm
building as long as it is airy and
well Ventilated. I do not believe
there will be any dangers arise from

this house combination. Turkeys can

not, however, be housed with poultry.
very successfully. I have ,noted in
practically every case where chickens
and turkeys are housed together that
the turkeyvstock is low in vitality
and rather a. high death rate occurs
in every case. It seems to me as long
as the turkeys are housed separate
adjoining the calf pen that. they
could be maintained in a healthy

vigorous condition—E. C. Foreman:

Associate Professor ‘of Poultry Hus—
bandry, Ml A. C.’

Other Michigan Winners were located

Ill. MONEY AND CREDIT: ' .

The Federal Reserve Bulletin forNovemher says: “From the peak of credit
expansion in. Nevember, 1920, up to July 26, 1922, member banks in leading
cities liquidated their indebtedness to the federal reserve banks much more rapidly
and completely than did member banks outside of, the leading cities. During
recent weeks (namely, up to October 25) the resumption of borrowing from the
reserve banks has been almost entirely by the city banks, the country banks in
all districts except St. Louis reporting further liquidation.”

lV. PRICES: . \ , ‘

From their low point in December, 1921, prices of farm products increased
\much faster than prices of other commodities up to March, 1922. At this peak
farmers had least to sell. From March until the present time other prices have
advanced much .more rapidly than farm prices. For the whole period, from
December, 1921, to the present, farm prices show a slightly bigger increase, ’
the purchasing power of farm products figure, representing the relationship of
the two-sets of prices, having advanced from 62 to 66. This ratio was main-
tained in face of the third largest crop output ever produced in the United States.
The estimated total value of farm crops for 1922 is 32 per cent higher than for
1921. The figure for purchasing power of farm products, on total value instead
of price basis, computed on December crop estimates and prices, and prices of
other commodities in November, is 73. This is over 25 per cent under 1913 but
20 per cent better than last year.

On December 19, compared with the month previous, 15 out of 24 farm
products advanced in price, 8 declined and 1 remained unchanged. Compared
with' a year ago there are 19 advances and 4 declines while 1 remains stationary.

FOOTES MARKET REVIEW—_
ANOTHER NEW FEATURE

ITH this issue we introduce to

readers of The Business Farm-

er,Mr.W. W. Photo, ofChi-
cago, who will have a letter direct
from the Chicago markets each issue
on general financial conditions,
world grain markets, and most im-
portant, a direct review of the Chi-
cago live stock markets from a man
who has been in intimate, daily con-
tact with that market for more than
thirty years. Mr Foote has volun-

our readers addressd in care of The
Business Farmer. We want the
best that can be had served on these
tables for the consumption of our
folks, so we editorial cooks are glad
to move over one place to make room
for Mr. Foote, who will hereafter be
responsible for a very important
course in the Business Farmer’s bi-
weekly banquetl—Editor.

IMPROVED BUSINESS OUTLOOK

RINGING about a return to nor-

mal financial conditions in the

war—stricken countries of Eu—
rope is not as rapid as might be
wished, but the outlook is at least
better than it has been, under the
prevailing sentiment is more opti-
mistic than a year ago. Even under
present unsettled conditions, we are
exporting large amounts of commod-
ities across the Atlantic, these con-
sisting mainly of grains and meats.
As soon as it becomes definitely set-
tled how to establish credit in Ger-
many and other countries it may be
taken for granted thatnnr foreign
commerce will show marked im—
provement. The United States is
now by far the richest country in the
world, and we are large importers,
while our home trade is extremely
‘ large. Nearly everybody in the
' middle west is at work, and more
money is being spent than a few
months ago, while savings deposits
._ in the bank are ahead of a year ago.
1,. ‘ Farmers are buying more foods than
for months, and the Chicago mail
. order houses have closed the year
1~ with net gains in sales over 1921,
i the gain of a leading firm being
,: around 20 per cent. ‘Labor is active—
‘ 1y employed as unusually high wages
throughout the country, and the high
wages offered in the cities are re-
sponsible for many farm helpers
leaving for the cities, thereby creat-
.2 ing a scarcity of agricultural work—
!' ers. Farmers are obtaining high
. prices for most of their products, in-
cluding grains, live stock: etc., and
" these are selling much above values
of a year ago. Country banks gen-
erally are doing their part in helping
farmers needing assistance in carry-
ing their crops, and the reserve
banks are accomplishing great
things, reasonable rates of interest
:7 ' being asked. The railroads are do-
jg; ing a much larger business than a
'5 year ago, and enormous shipments
of grain have taken place during the
mouth of December. Two important
events are the burning of the Live
Stock Exchange Building in Chicago
and the merger of Armour and ”Mor-
ris packing companies in progress.
The Exchange Building is to be re-
placed by a fine eight story building
in the spring.

Large Demand for Wheat

The large domestic and foreign
demand for wheat which began to
develope several months ago has
been gaining in volume, and recent

" sales have reached extremely liberal
proportions. There is p etty unani-
mous agreement that al the wheat

We can spare is going to be wanted
by the importing countries ‘of Europe,
and it is estimated by the best au-
thorities that Europe will require

, approximately 400, 000, 000 bushels

_, from exporting countries during the
‘first half of this year. The wheat

crop of the United States has been
ark‘eted freely, and it has gone into
mumption at home and abroad so
1y that it was found a few days

. that the stock held in Chicago,
.8118 City, St. Louis, Omaha and

,osoph aggregated only one-half

‘ 'hoidin t

 

 

 

 

 

  
 
 

  
  
 
  
 

 

tcered to answer any questions from'

We months ago .

The weekly exports of wheat and
flour from our shores have ‘been for
many weeks far heavier than a year
earlier, and rye has been exported
with unusual freedom because of its
relatiVe cheapnou, Germany taking
especially large supplies. A short
time ago it was reported that Greece
wanted immEdiatoly three million
bushels owaheat from this country,
and on the same day sales were an—
nounced of 600,000 bushels of Maui—
toba wheat for export. A great deal
or corn and cats are exported from
this country in the course of a year
but for some time past such exports
have fallen off in volume. Corn is

being largely fed to cattle and hogs ,

on the farms at the present time
some 27 per cent more cattle being
held in feeding districts, it is esti-
mated, than a year ago, while hogs
are known to be in largesupply.
The visible wheat supply in this
country is unusually small, while
that of corn is placed at 14,788,000

bushels, comparing with 21, 586,000 .

bushels a year ago. Quite recently
sales were made on the Chicago mar-
ket of wheat for December delivery
at $1. 27, comparing with $1.12 5— 8
a year ago; corn at 73 1- 2 cents,
comparing with 48 cents”a.year ago;
cats at 43 1-2 cents, comparing with
34 1—2 cents last year; rye at 91 14
cents and barley at 63 to 74 cents.
Clover seed sells at $15.50 to $20.50
per 100 pounds, timothy at $6 to
$6.75 per 100 pounds and flax seed

at $2.61 a bushel.

Decline in Cattle Prices

Early sales of beef cattle on the
Chicago market during the two days
following the Chrlhtmas holiday on
Monday was very slow, and despite
much, smaller receipts than usual,
prices declined from 50 to 75 cents
below the lowr time of the previous
week. Recent supplies were mainly

short fed offerings, having been fed

from 75 to 100 days, and on most
days there was a lack of prime
heavy steers. By Thursday there
was a rally of about 25 cents under
small offerings and a better demand,
and some 900—pound yearlings
brought $10.50. Choice heavy cattle
have been selling at $11 to $11.90,
with strictly prime bee-ves pretty
much nominal at $12 “to $12. 50. A
pretty good class of steers which
averaged 1, 500 pounds brought
$8.50, and medium grade lots sold
at $7.50 and over; with sales of
common to fair light steers at $6.10
to $7.25, and a few inferior little
steers at $3.60 to $6. Butcher stock
had a better demand at higher av-
erage prices, cows and heifers going
at $3.75 to $9.50, while canner and
cutter cows sold at $2.25 to $3.60,
bulls at $3 to $7.50 and calves at
$3 to $11.50, light vealers selling
at $9 and over mostly. A limited
trade is going on in stockers and
feeders, sales being mostly at $5
to $7.25. Dairy cows have sold at
$40 to $60 per head mostly, a few
Holsteins being salable up to $.75.
A year ago the best steers sold for
$9. Beef steers sell mainly at $7.50
to $10.40. Prices broke 25 cents
on Friday, no cattle selling above
$10.25.
The Hog Market

Prices in the Chicago market
broke from 5 to 15 cents on Thurs—
day last week, when the reCeipts
mounted up to about 60,000 bags,
but prior to that they advanced on
moderate receipts, Monday being a
holiday. The Thursday receipts
were among the largest of the year.
Eastern shippers are most of the
time very good buyers, and at times
speculators take a hand. Hogs are

  

.coming to market in good quality,

at $10 to $13.

and the bulk sell within a range of
only 15 cents, prime light bacon
and heavy butchers selling the high—
est. Recent receipts have averaged
232 pounds, ”comparing with 226
pounds a year ago. A good demand
for trash pork prevails, pork being
much—wheap’er than beef, and pro-
visions are exported much more
freely than a year ago. Hogs are
Selling around $7. 60 to $8. 60. com-
paring with $5. 90 to $8. 25 a year
ago.
Big Prices for Lamb!

These are times when farmers

who have stuck to raising flocks of

'sheepthank their. lucky stars that

they remained in when others—were
abandoning the industry because of
the unsatisfactory returns. A short
time ago a young Michigan farmer
who is in the habit of buying feed-

ing lambs in the Chicago markets--

said he had fed lambs" for thirteen
years, and in all that time he had
lost money only once. Lambs are
coming largely clipped at this time,
and the packers prefer the'wooled

floéks, the latter selling at $13.25 to.
$15.40, while feeder lambs sell at

$14 to $14.75, with few offered.
Lambs avering 90 pounds and over
have to sell at a discount, and sheep
are marketed sparingly. ,Breeders
are scarce too, owners keeping them
for breeding yearlings are selling
ewes at $2.50 to
$8.25, wethers at $7.50 to $9.35 and
bucks at $3.50 to $4.25. A year ago
prime lambs sold at $11.75 and nine
years ago at $6.60.-—-‘W. E.,F°°te-

 

WHEAT

The market closed last week with
the bears in charge and holiday dull-
ness prevailed. Receipts have been
large anddeclines in the price plenti-
ful. Every - decline brought out
many buyers but not enough to cause
prices to advance to their pro-viola
level. The Detroit market lost 2 1—2
cents for the week. Milling demand
was slow but a few inquiries were
received from seaboard and some
business was reported from that

source. Efiuropean‘demand for Amer-.

ican grain is curtalied owing to the
financial conditions. If Europe's
credit is improved through giving
her more time to pay her debts de-
mand will imprnve. Heavy receipts
are expected'this week and the tone
of the market will be about the same,
or easier, dealers believe.

CORN

Corn followed the trend of wheat
last week the greater part of the time
although the tone was stronger at
the close in corn than in the later
grain. Corn lost only 1c on the De-
troit market during the past couple
of weeks. Indications point to a
good export demand in the near fu-
ture. Foreigners are trying to buy
on the basis of 70c for May corn.
