CURRENT COMMENT





UBLIC opinion is

the ultimate force





The Powfr of democracy. N o r

of Public does it always find its

Opinion expression in law in





order to be a most ef-

fective influence in the direction of

matters pertaining to the public wel-

fare. Public opinion has ever been in-

terested in the working-man’s cause,

and tolerant of his contentions in the

‘struggle for better living conditions

among industrial workers. But public

sentiment has been decidedly against

the extreme strike method of enforc-

ing these demands in cases where the

public security has been endangered

thereby.





For this reason the labor unions

have not had the strong advantage of

favorable public opinion in the conduct

of recent strikes, notably in the coal

industry. This fact seems sure to

bring about a settlement of these con-

troversies where the industrial confer-

ence and other agencies have failed in

attempts to formulate a policy accep-

table to both sides. Examples along

other lines are not lacking to demon-

strate the power of public opinion.

This power, when intelligently direct-

ed, is the balance wheel and safeguard

of our form of government.





Some recent expressions of public

opinion voiced through prominent

farmers’ organizations are reassuring

for the future. The declarations of the

American Federation of Farm Bureaus

formulated at the initial meeting of

delegates for the formation of this or-

ganization, as published in our last is-

sue, voice a spirit of Americani'un and

sound business judgment which are

most reassuring unlcr present condi-

tions of general unrest and dissatisfac-

tion. The pronouncements of theNa-

tional Grange in its more recent ses-

sion at Grand Rapids, Michigan, are

equally sound and conservative.





This constructive public opinion be-_

ing voiced by a large industrial divis-y

ion of our people—the American farm-

ers—who are becoming sufficiently

well organized to make their vieWS a

more potent force in the future direc-

tion of public policy is a matter for

congratulation, not alone to agricul-

ture as an industry, but'to all of the

people of the nation as well, since such

a stabilizing influence is badly needed

at the present time to check the rising





trend toward radicalism by the substi-V





tution of a more safe and Mtructive

program. 4' 1;

FFORTS are being





madp in certain



18 quss directions to effect a

"coffl'mn coalition of organized

Desirable? labor and organized





farmers on the

ground that their interests are iden-

tical, and their c00peration is neces-

sary to secure desired results. In prac-

tically all of these cases the effort has

been dominated by a more or less rad-

ical labor element, looking toward unit-

ed political action as a means of in-

suring the success of a program em-

bracing what they might outline as the





,,rights of the two classes involved.





This movement has not been gener-

ally endorsed by the more substantial

element of organized farmers, and has

not resulted in any agreem'cnt on a

definite program by the representa-

tives of the classes involved who have

participated in conferences to that end.

In view of the position recently taken

representative

farmers’ organizations, including the

American Farm Bureau and the Na-

tional Grange, it is a safe assertion

that such a program does not appeal

to the majority of the thinking farm-

ers of the United States. It is a safe

assertion that either organized work-

men or organized farmers, represent-

ing as they do two great bodies of sub-

stantial citizenship, will be able to se

cure fair consideration of their just

claims from the government and be-

fore the bar of public opinion, and that

both will progress much more rapidly

along constructive lines by acting in-

dependently than could possibly be the

case by any coalition which would in-

volve a sacrifice of principle in a get-

together program, as any such coali-

tion program would be' almost certain

to ultimately involve.





'While it is proper for these classes

of citizens to maintain efficient organ-

izations in their own interests, it is

much better for both to work on the





principle that right makes might rath-





er than on the principle that might

makes right. The latter principle has

been badly discredited in the recent

world struggle, and patient humanity

has had enough of it, whether it in-

volves the dominance of nations or of

classes within a nation. From the

standpoint of the good of the nation—

and this is inseparable from the stand-

point of the good of the classes com-

posing the nation—class coalition ap-

pears wholly undesirable, particularly

when it involves a political program.



Business organizations of farmers

will accomplish a far greater good to

their constituency. Business elations

with labor organizations may be feas-

ible and‘dcsirable in some cases, but

political alliances should be avoided.

From recent pronouncements of strong

farmers’ organizations, it would appear

that this principle is generally accept-

ed by the rank and file of American

farmers.

hold‘ ecessities,'with the result that

the farm price of many foodstuffs has

dropped without a corresponding re-

duction in the price to Consumers.





There is need of a better general

knowledge of farm conditions and pro‘

duction costs than exists at the pres-

ent time. Fortunately for the future

outlook, there is evidence of increas-

ing appreciation of this fact in unex-

pected places. Many business men in

other lines are preaching the dootrine

of compensatory 'prices to farmers. We

have just received a little booklet got-

ten out by a prominent manufacturing

company, in Which this point is clear-

ly set forth and the conclusion reach-

ed that farmers must be assured of at

least as decent an income as the city

men are getting today or they will

have to let the cities feel the pinch of

hunger. The booklet closes with an

appeal to all who may read it to aid

this outcome by making a true vision

possible.





That is just what is needed; a gen-

eral‘understanding of agricultural con-

ditions and problems by business men

and consumers generally, to the end

that agricultural production may be

maintained at a point which will in-

sure an ample supply of foodstuffs and

the prosperity of business generally.

Not the least task which is facing the

new Farm Bureau organization is the

dissemination of authentic information

with regard to production problems

and production costs. Given this in-

formation, the American public will

not be unfair in its judgment. The

consumers’ leagues, should this organ-

ization movement prove successful,

would afford a most desirable avenue

through which to disseminate this in-

formation and reach a common under-

standing.





GAIN the old fight

between oleomar-





' 1



O'eo garine and butter

Versus looms in the offing.

Butter This time the reduc-





tion of living costs is

given as the ostensible reason for re-

newing the fight. There is pending in

congress a bill known as H. R. 10032,

introduced by Representative Sabath,

of Illinois, which proposes to substi-

tute a uniform tax of one-half cent per

pound on oleomargarine for the tax

now in force.



The present tax on uncolored also

is one-fourth cent perpound, while the

tax on the product, colored in imita-

tion of yellow butter, is ten cents per

pound. The succetsful fight against

oloomargarine waged by the dairy in—

terests of the country was not direct

ed against'the product itself, when sold

as z'uch, but against an imitation of

butter which could be sold as the gen-

uine article, thus working an injustice

to both the consumer and the dairy-

man. Justice prevailed in this fight

in the imposition ofa high tax on the

imitation, which might be-fraudulently

sold as buttcr by the unscrupulous

dealer, without restricting the trade on

the uncolored imitation which has sold

at a lower price on its merits. This

has tended to reduce the fraudulent

sale of oleOmargarineeas butter to the

minimum, without injustice to consum-

ers; dairymen or manufacturers. The

dairy interests of the country have

fought this proposition out sati‘sfactbr-

ily along these, lines and will not aban-

don the issue now. We do notbelieve

the. Sabath bill will fare better than

other attempts to permit unfair com-

petition of oleomargarine with butter,

which would be even more unfair to

the commer- than ever before. in view.

which the, cooperative organiza-

tions are showing the importance of,

is the adaptation of production meth-

a





 





 





 





ganization doesn’t stop with an im-

provement in selling methods—it im-

proves growing methods. It introduces

a scientfiic coordination between the

two. Thus are ‘maximum returns ob-

tained.



1A good illustratibn is the system

followed by an apple growers’ associa-

tion which sells expertly-graded ap-

ples. When it started out to market

cooperatively, it quickly saw that it

must employ expert help for the grad-

ing and packing. That was an obvious

business move. But the business move

less obvious, yet exactly as necessary,

Was an improvement in apple farm

practices. The association consequent.

ly adopted a very strict set of rules to

which all members were required to

live up. No member could break these





By]. T.





rules without violating a contract with

the association.



All with a view of getting better

market returns, this association insist-

ed on radical improvement in orchard

methods. Each member bound himself

to ’spray his orchard at least twice.

He agreed to pick his fruit‘ carefully

and gently place. it in baskets. He

agreed not to pile apples in the or-

chard, but to take them to the pack-

ing warehouse the day picked, in a

spring wagon. He agreed to pick all

fruit with the stems on, and to deliver

to the' association his entire crop ex-

cept what was required for home use.



Farmers in this district had former-

ly done as they pleased. They had

been slip—shod er conscientious in their

orchard management, as they felt dis-

posed. But the association stopped

this condition. It arbitrarily compell-

ed every individual grower to manage





 





Systematlzmg ProductiOn for

his crop so that it would bring the best

markets prces. And the association

prospered. In solving its selling prob-

lem, it began at the logical starting

point, the orchard.



Without question there are enor—

mous possibilities in the widespread

application of this same idea. As co-

operating farmers learn to use it flex-

ibly, the status of their business will

rapidly improve. An interesting recent

example is that of a district which for

seme time has been organized for co-

operative selling of berries. The berry

association, putting out a graded, stan-

dardized pack, has done well. The

growers in this district are enterpris»

ing men. They feel that they can

raise much more stuff than they now

do, selling it with profit through the

cooperative agency. Peaches seemed a

likely crop. Experiments locally had

proved to their satisfaction that cer-





tain varieties are good for marketing.



But these growers have grown wise

in marketing. They appreciate that

being haphazard is one of the most

costly of habits. They tackled the

peach question, consequently, in an in-

telligent way. “If we can get a size—

able peach acreage here,” they argued,

“it will pay us to grow and handle

peaches. Let’s see who wants to grow

peaches; what land they have; what

their equipment is. Let’s see how

many are willing to bind themselves to

grow a stated acreage. If we can ship

in carlots, peaches should make us a

good product; otherwise, we’d better

leave them alone.”





Along these lines this progressive

district is working out its salvation,

by intelligently coordinating produc-

tion and marketing. Whether it actu.

ally determines to grow peaches, as it

probably will, doesn’t particularly mat-

ter. The point is, it has got the right

idea. It knows what it is about.





Accounting Promotes Better Farming





essary for farmers to know their



business better than has been

the custom in the past, and in this

necessity the farmer has been the

gainer, though he may not think so in

the matter of the tax. Records have

to be kept to be able to make out the

income tax report correctly, and in

keeping these records most farmers

will make discoveries about their bus—

iness that will be quite likely to more

than balance the taxes required of

them. Thousands of dollars have been

lost to farmers by not having their

various farm departments showing in

dollars and cents just what was being

done.



The farm herd is one of the most

common sources of improvement from

close accounting, individual accounting

as well as collective. In the older

dairy communities this has been pret-

ty well established, and the herd that

is not tested and the boarders dispos-

ed of, and herd not headed by a high-

class male is more the exception than

the rule, but it is not so generally. Still

on a majority of the farms over the

country the farm herd is the mixture

of many breeds and about the only way

the owner judges of the value is by the

milk in the pail, and even then this

may vary a couple of gallons without

the farmer considering whether it

counts much in his income from his

herd. The only true method of getting

at this is by the test and the record.





Accounting will bring some farmers

to themselves. Many an almost fail-

ure as a farmer may find that he owes

his failure to some line of farming that

he follows and is not fitted to make a

success of it. He may find that some

other line that he knows and likes but

has been considering of little import-

ance is really the most paying, and

may be carrying a loss from the other

line which be supposed was the main

standby. No one can judge these

things without figures to show them

up. It is so easy to over-estimate or

men will make a success of anything

they dislike, and not one in ten of

these would fail to find it out if books

Tractor or Steam Po war?





 





 





NEIGHBOR came up the other

evening and asked which would be

the better proposition for him: to hire

George with his portable steam engine

and saw, or to hire Walter with his

8-16 tractor and saw to buzz up his pile





of poles. George charges eight dollars

a day and furnishes no fuel, and Walt-

er wants ten dollars and furnishes his

kerosene.



There was only one answer to this

and the answer would be the same if

you had to furnish the fuel to Walter.

The tractor makes a better showing

and willbe an advantage in many ways

as we have found by experience. You

don’t have to have one man or boy

getting "a tank full of water twice or

three times a day; this is a good'thing

“to think of when utilizing a tractor.

tenures very little atten-





 





tion when buzzing poles, and the trac-

tioneer will have time to devote two-

thirds of his day to helping with the

poles, while the steam engineer must

always be looking at his gauges, filling

up with water and wood. Thus ninety-

five per cent of the help is available

for handling the poles and wood.



_ When buzzing poles it is necessary

to move the outfit at least twice a day;

the tractor is easily and quickly mov-

ed". As to the smoothness of power,

quick starting and all, tractor power is

as desirable as steam power. The cost

of fuel and oil for an 8-16 tractor on a

winter's day when pullinga twenty-six-

inch saw amounts to something near

one dollar and a half. The big saving

with tractor power is in the require-

ment of ' less .labor and time.- Pretty

big items in these days. J. L. J.





   





going into the details of the farm bus-

iness and seeing just what is being

done. With a good system of accounts

that tell just what is what, the farm—

ing business can be discussed of an

evening and every member of the fam-

ily become interested and fully inform-

ed. There will be no working in the

dark, and it would surprise many farm-

ers who keep all their plans to them-

selves to-find that the boys and girls

have some mighty good ideas now and

then that it will pay well to consider

in outlining work. Lack of interest

which comes with misunderstanding is

one of the most potent causes of boys

and girls leaving the farm for other

lines of business. If they can see

where the profits are, and understand

the advantages of farm life from indis-

putable figures they will be much more

likely to study how they can do better

farming rather than seek to take up

something with which they have no

knowledge. I believe that in nine cas«

es out of ten the reason boys and girls





yearn for other employment is because ,





they do not have any real part in the

farm business, and do not feel that it

is their business at all and many times

do not know what the profits are, and

under-estimate them greatly, counting

cash and profits as much the same

thing in their minds—and we all know

that on most farms cash at all times

is not very abundant, even when the

real profits have been quite large. The

accounting will change their view of

these things, and cause them to take

stock of resources as well as the visi-

ble cash returns.





It is true that some farmers may

find it hard to convince the wife or

children that an electric light plant,

modern home conveniences, and the

things that go to make life worth liv-

ing on the farm, cannot be afforded.

They may have to buy a new range or

washer that they have been dodging

on the plea of poor crops, but the ex-

ercise of a little unselfishness and. the

loosening of the. strings of the pocket

book is oftengood for the soul.



Buy a good account book or several

if necessary. and tell the high school

lad or lassie to show what they have

learned. There are regular farm rec-

ord books now published that have

been simplified to the needs of such

farmers as do not feel capable of hand-





ling the regular systems of book'keep- ,

Liningslon County Leads in Per denf

oanreérea’ Sires Heading Her Herd:





URVEYS have been made in several of the outstanding dairy .



counties of Wisconsin, New York and Michigan to determine the

percentage of purebred, grade and scrub sires in use on the farms

of these counties. In the 00mparisons Livingston county, Michi-

gan, makes far the best showing, and since the surveys cover

those counties in which particular attention has been given to the

production 'of purebred cattle there is little doubt in the minds of

informed persons that there is no "other county to be found in the

country where live stock is of importance, which can make a better

display of purebred sires.



Every Michigan breeder will be interested in and proud of the

showing made by the figures gathered under the supervision of ,F.

S. Dunks, county agent of Livingston county. The survey shows

that in the county there are four hundred and twenty-four bulls in

service. Of this number three hundred and twenty-two are regis-

tered, ninety-two are grade, and only ten are scrubs. Stated in per-

centages the purebred sires make up seventy-six per cent of the to—

la], grades twenty-two per cent and scrubs two per cent.



Comparing this with the banner county of New York, we find

that the Michigan county has nearly double the percentage of pure-

bred sires, the showing in New York being but forty-six per cent

pure-bred sires. That is in every hundred bulls Livingston has the

generous margin of thirty purebreds over and above the number of

this class in each hundred sires of the eastern county.



Then passing over to Wisconsin it is learned that in Waukesha

county, which has been heralded as the greatest dairy county in

all the country, and where the breeders have put forth much effort

to reduce the number of inferior sires, they boast of fifty—eight per

cent of purebred sires and forty-two per cent divided between the

grades and scrubs. In Walworth county purebreds number fifty-

three per cent, and the grades and scrubs forty-seven per cent.



Over in Sawyer the percentage of purebreds, grades and scrubs

are fifty-two per cent, thirty-seven per cent, and eleven per cent re-

spectively. The Price county survey revealed forty-five per cent of

purebreds and fifty-five per cent of scrubs and grades. Sheboygan

county has thirty-seven per cent of purebreds, fifty per cent grades

and thirteen per cent mongrels. Wood county is nearly as bad off

with thirty-eight per cent purebreds, and sixty-two per cent grades

and scrubs, while in Barron county the percentage of pure-breds

drops to thirty—six and grades and scrubs make up the other sixty-

four per cent, and in La Crosse the figures go still further down

for the purebreds there constitute but thirty per cent of the total,

while the grades make fifty-four per cent and the scrubs sixteen

per cent.

will be used also to help put down the

build up a sugar distribution system

tentatively decided on, provide for in-

Through this increase new sources of

the largest problem we have to face,

battery, it has just so much energy

and when run down it is useless—in

fact it dies. According as we use that

energy fast or slowly, so will our suc-

cess be. We find that the factors that

make the bees generate heat are the

ones that cause them to exhaust their

supplies of energy, and therefore the

chief aim of the beekeeper is to' induce

his bees to remain almost motionless,

and in a dormant state. We shall try

to give the factors that stir up the

bees, with their remedies.



Firstly, there is the changes .in tem-

perature .which occur

at all seasons. It has

been. found that bees

are quietest, when the

surrounding air keeps

a. steady level of about

forty to forty-five de-

grees. S ome well-

known authorities rec-

ommend a higher tem-

perature'than this, but

we speak from experi-

ence and some of our

best results have been

accomplished in a cel-

lar where the glass

seldom strayed above

forty degrees all win-

ter and in cold weath-

er sometimes went as

low as thirty-three or

thirty-four. A dry cel-

lar is probably the

ideal place for winter-

ing, but if the charac~

ter of the ground

makes it impossible to

Obtain one, then they

can be packed on their

summer stands. Cases

are made of lumber





Well Wintered Colonies give Largest Yields of Honey. large enough to con-





still more valuable vitality of the hive,

are usually consumed. Our bees, on

the other hand, develop more settled

habits and we can rely upon their be-

having in a. perfectly orthodox way if

We treat them right.



Wintering is the pitfall which proves

the undoing of many a beginner and

even with the expert there will be less-

es. Indeed, it may safely be said that

outside of actual disease, like foul-

brood, there are no losses to speak of

except during the months between De-

cember andvfiily; Nor is the avoiding

of actual losses the only reason which

calls for, special attention to this phase

of the business, for the possibility of

getting a honey crop next year is in-

timately bound up

with the welfare of the

bees this winter. A

colony that c o m e 3

through into spring

weak in bees and light

in stores will not come

to its full strength un-

til the best of the

h o n e y harvest has

come and gone, and if

it only builds up for

the next winter it will

be only as valuable as

one of next year's

swarms. A powerful

colony in spring, on

the other hand, in ad-

dition to its contribu-

tion to the honey cropk

will send one or two

swarms, which may

each be more powerful

than the weak colony

that survived from thé

previous season. It

will therefore be seen

that good wintering is

tain from one to four

hives, and bulky enough to permit of

six inches of insulating materials on

all sides of the hive. The entrances

are joined to the outside air by tubes

of wood about three inches by one-

quarter inside measurement. The pack-

ing may consist of chaff, sawdust, .for-

est leaves, ground cork, or indeed of

any heat-retaining medium. The prop-

er packing of a bee-hive may be well

likened to packing ice for summer use

and nothing short of the care neces-

sary‘ for this operation will bring the

hive through to spring in first-class

condition.

Another disturbing factor is the air

that the bees breathe. Outdoors we

Leadership

Through

Service





A generation ago leadership in —





any industry was interpre-

ted to mean the ruthless use of

power.





Today it is recognized that leadership in

industry is attained and maintained only

when, through efficiency, an organiza-

tion is able to render superior service.





A generation ago com etition meant

getting the busmess wit out regard for

its effect on the industry.





Today competition means friendly rival-

ry in supplying the world with superior

products at a minimum cost, and getting

the business through superior service.





The Standard Oil Company (Indiana)

enjoys a leading position in the petrol-

eum industry, and is maintaining this

leadership because it recognizes that this

position can be measured only in terms

of usefulness and service.





It is the ambition of those responsible,





for the activities of the Company to

strengthen this leadership.





The Standard Oil Company (Indiana)

believes that an organization can live

and prosper only when it puts ideals of

service above ideals of profit, which is

exactly what the Standard Oil Company

(Indiana) is doing. The profits earned

are but ‘a measure of the service rendered.





Thus does the Board of Directors of the

Standard Oil Company (Indiana) inter-

pret its obligation to the public and to

the 4649 stockholders, not one of whom

owns as much as 10 per cent of the

total stock.

HE fifty-third annual sesSion of

the National Grange, held at

Grand Rapids, Michigan, on No-

vember 12-21, certainly made import-





referred to in succeeding years as the

session so large in attendance that the

seventh or National Grange degree

work had to be run twice to initiate

all applicants, of whom there were

about 1,600.. Daily attendance the first





‘part of the session ran around 3,000,





but after the seventh degree confer-

ence and the election November 18,

members dispersed, those from Michi—

gan and nighborlng states to their

homes, and the long-distance visitors

to points in the east or middle states

to see. sights or visit friends. Conse-

quently, the policy-deciding sessions

were small enough to be accommodat-

ed in the Hotel Pantlind’s large ball-

room. Thirty-three states and Canada

were represented.



That was an interesting group of

State Grange heads that formed the

two-rowed rectangle in regular Grange

meeting form, the east and west, north

and south and the middle states in ear-

nest, sometimes heated debate oii pol-

icies and procedure for agriculture and

organization. As far as the east is

from the west at first would seem the

feeling of certain states on‘ such public

policies as government ownership of

public utilities, and of “entangling al-

liances” with other organizations, but

the cooperative result over and over

again demonstrated the enormous val-

no of such nation-wide conferences as





this for talking away misunderstand-





ings, affording the varied experience





, to guide in working out sectional’prob-





lems, etc.

For instance, the Northwest Grange





‘ ' states were the source of the few com-





munistic and more radical propositions

presented, and it was interesting to

watch the instant and able rally of the

older in experience and strongest

Grange states to the enlightenment

and brotherly warning of the worthy

brothers and sisters from the north-

west as to how not to steer on the

rocks of impracticability and unsound

economic procedure.



For instance, from the northwest

Grange states, Washington in partic-

ular, and, Oregon to a milder degree,

also from Colorado and Idaho, second-

ed by vote rather than debate of Mon-

tana and North Dakota, came proposi-

tions and their support asking the Na-

tional Grange to endorse railroad na—

tionalization, to accept the American

Federation of Labor’s proposal to a

conference, for paying every soldier

and sailor $50 per month, and in the

latter proposition virtual arraignment

of our government for honoring the

war contracts with civilian commercial

and manufacturing interests.



The Grange on Nationalization.



By considerable majorities the Na-

tional Grange opposed nationalization

of railroads, government retention of

the war shipping acquired during the

war and all such communistic schemes,

feeling them fundamentally inimical

to that individual and collective initia-

tive and energy that has made the Am-

erican nation the resourceful giant

that it is, in all lines of achievement.



Regarding “nationalization” schemes

of certain labor unions, the Grange’s

position is this: “In the government

of a free democracy is lodged ample

power to curb the evils of the power of





swollen Wes in the, hands of the

unscrupulous; We oppose government





ownershb and ‘naflonnlizatioa' of. M'-





 





 





iness and industry unless clearly re-

huh-ed ~m‘pniauc interest." ~





" National Grange Meeting





First, it is’bound to be-





Speci'fic recommendation regarding

railroads and Ship‘s was: Approval of

the general principles 'of pending leg-

islation to restore railroads to Owners,

with an actual value" capitalization, un-

der 3 control commission empowered

to protect public interest against rail-

road owners" injustice; also sale of

present government-owned ships to pri-

vate owners at proper prices, and gov-

ernment control of such a privately

managed merchant marine. ,Endoi‘se- ,,

ment of state ownership of coal mines

as proposed by Colorado State Master

John Morris, was turned down.





The Grange favors “safeguarding ev-

ery right of private property. on the

broad ground that only by the full de-

velopment of the right of private

property can there be perpetuat- ‘

ed the full measure of individual in-

itiative and emulation on which a dem-

ocracy is based and by which its fu-

ture is assured. ‘The rule of the ma-

jor'ity, expressed through the ballot

box, in orderly government‘ was anoth-

er pronouncement of Grange senti-

ment. ‘There is no room in our Order

for the ideas or methods of foreign

radicals or of aristocracy,’ was another

emphatically endorsed shot at the com-

munistic propaganda of certain ele-

ments among us."



Industrial Controversies.



The proposition of the Federation of

Labor to have the Grange confer with

it at Washington, December 13, was

carefully considered and politely d-e-

clined, the great preponderance of feel-

ing being that until labor changes its

inclination from too much class selfish—

ness to better consideration for public

welfare, farmers have little in com-

mon with its aims, and that only public

misconception of the Grange and con-

sequent alientation of a large part of

its membership could come out of any

such conference.





The Grange warns that “if industrial

controversies are settled by increasing

industrial wages and decreasing indus-

trial hours of labor, farmers must not

be held responsible for the resulting

increases in the cost of the necessities

of life.” The Grange demands that the

complaint against high prices be di-

rected where they are caused, i. e., to

the cost of labor, profits in food distri-

bution, and high cost of things the

farmer has to buy. ImpriSOnment of,

as well as fining convicted profiteers,

was suggested. “Quit howling, get to

work and be economical,” is Grange

advice to labor as the quickest method

of adjusting income to prices. Endorse-

ment of the budget plan for govern-

mental expenditures was unanimous.





Soldiers’ Compensation.



There was lively division between

the northwest and the major part of

other Grange states on method of com-

pensation for our World War veterans.

The proposition supported by Wash

ington, Oregon and Colorado masters,

to pay every veteran $50 per month

was tabled and a substitute by Lowell

of New York adopted to this effect:

“We recommend adequate financial/re-

muneration» and honors for our World

War veterans, both men and women.

and have confidence that congress will

carry 'this out.”

“ HE use of Goodyear Cord Pneumatic Truck Tires on my





truck has saved me a great deal of time and money. They

are an economy all around in general farm work and livestock

hauling—especially over farm land and rough, slippery country

roads.”—-—M . PV. H. Daley, Livestock Farmer, Starks, Maine





THE photograph above was

taken January 3rd,. 1919,

on the livestock farm of W. H.

Duley, ten miles from Starks,

Maine.





At that time Mr. Duley told us

that he had been hauling on

Goodyear Cord Pneumatic

Truck Tires during weather

that had stopped local solid-

tired trucks.





The tractive Goodyear Cords

had enabled his truck to over-

come fierce road conditions





and, in additiOn, to pull solid-

tired trucks out of mire and up

still grades.





The easy—rolling Goodyear

Cords had enabled his truck

to average three and four trips

to town per day, an amount of

hauling which would have re-

quired three teams.





The cushioning Goodyear

Cords had enabled his truck

to deliver decidedly good mile-

age on gasoline and oil and to

remain in excellent mechanical





order despite the bad going.





On top of all this, the tough

Goodyear Cords had outlasted

neighbors’ solid tires which

wore down rapidly due to spin-

ning in the gravel on the steep





hills.





This latter performance par—

ticularly reflects that long

pioneering work with which

Goodyear has developed Good-

year Cord Pneumatic Truck

Tires for very severe hauling

duty.

THE run of 300300

Maxwells to date saves

you many a worth while

dollar in the new Post-War

Maxwell. Those 300,000

saved in many ways.





1. They taught “short-

2. They eliminated all experi-

mental work—you don’t have to

pay for a single engineering

mistake.





.. 3. They developed quantity.





production which has reduced

‘ ‘overhead. ’ ’





4. They enabled quantity pur-

chases; and better materials are

bought at lower costs.





5. They taught how to build an

almost trouble-proof car; you'sel-

dom take a Post-War Maxwell

to a repair shop.





6. They taught how to get

the most mileage out of a

gallon of gasoline, a’pint of

oil and a set of tires.





7. They taught how to





nioremi{esper:a{’°" build a car that the less

8. They taught that it was better

to build more and take less profit

per car rather than build less and

take more profit per car.





9. They taught how to put mOre

and more value in the car With-

out increasing its cost.





This Post-War Maxwell is

next year’s car. It contains fea-

tures developed during the war,

many of which 'will find their

New Plans to Help Us Give





, , You- Better Service





Our business has been growing so fast that

we find itnecessary to erect new buildings,

to acquire additional manufacturing plants

and to increase our already great stocks of

merchandise, and so steadily better our

facilities for handling our customers’ orders

in all parts of the country. /





To provide ample funds for proper expan-

sion of our business, we have associated

with us as stockholders a number of men

who have proved their success in merchan-

dising and manufacturing, principal among

them Mr. George J. Whelan, of New York,

who established the United Cigar Stores

Company and other large producing and

distributing organizations.





The new arrangements Will simply give us

better opportunity in every respect to serve

you, the customer. There will not be the

slightest change in the management of

Montgomery Ward & Co. nor in the policies

and ideals that have been behind this

company since its organization, almost





fifty years ago.

(Continued from last week). ,





“If it worked out right.”



“Couldn’t help working out right.

That’s why Soapy didn’t let me in on

the proposition. To get rid of 'one

‘would be no great trouble, but two—

well, that’s different. Besides, I could

tell he was not sure of me. Now he

aims to put me on the stand and prove

by pine that Sam and he had a quarrel

and parted company mighty sore at

each other hardly a week before the

hold—up. He’ll have an alibi too, .to

show he couldn’t have been in it. You

will see.” ' ‘



“You wouldn’t think a white man

could take a revenge like that on his

enemy. It’s an anul thing to do in

cold blood.”



“Soapy is no white man. He's a.

wolf. See how slick his scheme is. At

one flip of the cards he kills the kid

and damn’s his reputation. He scores

Cullison and he snuffs oul. Sam, who

had had the luck to win the girl Soapy

fancies. The boy gets his and the girl

is shown she can't love another man

than Stone.”



“Ever hear the story of French

Dan?” asked Slats.



“Not to know the right of it.”



“Soapy and Dan trained together in

them days and wenL through a lot of

meanness as side partners. One day

the Avrica. stage was held up by two

men and the driver killed. In the scrap

one of the men had his mask torn off.

It was French Dan. Well, the outlaws

had been too busy. Folks woke up

and the hills were sprinklcd with pos-

ses. They ran the fellows down and





—three times they almost nailed them.

Shots were exchanged. A horse of one

of the fugitives was killed and they

could not get another. Finally one

dark night the outlawswere surround-

ed. The posse lay down in the wear

ton and waited for morning. In the

night one of them heard a faint sound

like the popping of a cork. When mo'n-

ing broke the hunters crop forward

through the thick grass. Guess what

they hund.”



Curly's answer was prompt. “Gim-

me a harder one. There were two

men and only one horse. The only

chance was to Slip through the line

before day arrived. My guess is that

they found‘French Dan with a little

round hole in his skull—mud that the

bullet making it had gone in from be-

hind. My guess also is that the posse

didn’t find the horse and the other

man, just a trail through the zacaton

back into the hills.”



“Go to the head of the class. There

was one man too many in that, thicket

for the horse. French Dan’s pardner

was afraid they might not agree about

who was to have the bronch for a swift

getaway. So he took no chances.

There’s only one man alive today can

swear that Soapy was the man with

French Dan lying in the zacaton. And

he’ll never tell, because he pumped

the bullet into his friend. But one

thing is sure. Soapy disappeared from

Arizona for nearly two years. You

can pick any reason you like for his

going. That is the one I choose.”

“Same here. And the man that

would shoot one partner in the back

would shoot another if he had good

reasons. By his way of it Soapy has

reasons a-plenty.”



“I’m satisfied that is his game. The





' question is how to block it. Will you





go to the sheriff?”

“No. Bolt would fall down on it.

First off, he would not believe the





 





story because I’m a rustlen myself-

Soapy and his friends voted for Bolt.

He would go to them, listen to their

story, prove part of it ,by me,.and. turn





them loose for lack of evideanJSam





‘By W 772. MacLeoa/ Raine





hunted them from place to place. Two ,





 





would go back to Dead Cow- With them

and Stone would weave another web

for the kid." ‘



“You’ve got it about right,” Slats ad-

mitted. “How about warning. Sam?"



“No use. He would go straight to

Soapy with it, and his, dear friend

would persuade him it was just a yarn

cooked up toget him to throw down

the only genuwine straight-up pal he

ever had.”



“Cullison then ?” .



“You’re getting warm. I’ve had that

notion myself. The,point is, would he l'

be willing to wait and let Soapy play

his hand out till we called.”



-“You would have to guarantee his

boy’wou’ld be safjé‘smeanwhile.”



"Two of us would have to watch

him day and night Without Sam know-

ing it.”



“Count me in.”



“This is where we hit heavy travel-

ing, Slat/s. For we don’t know when

the thing is going to be pulled off.” .r



“We’ll have tobe ready. That’s all.”



“Happen to know whether Dick Ma-

loncy is here for the show?"



“Saw him this morning. Luck is

here too, him and his girl."



“Good. We’ve got to have a talk

with them, and it has to be on the q. t.



You go back to town and find Dick.

Tell him to meet us at the Del Mar,





 





 





where Luck always puts up.‘ Find out

the number of Cullison’s 00m and

make an appointment. I’ll be on El

Molino street all mo’ning, off and on.

When you find out pass me without

stopping, but tell me when we are to

meet and just where.”



Curly gave Slats a quarter of an

hour before sauntering back to town.

As he was passisg the Silver Dollar

saloon a voice called him. Stone and

Blackwell were standing in the door.

Flandrau stopped. ‘



Soapy’s deep-set eyes blazed at him. ,

“You didn’t tell me it was Luck Culli— , -.

son went bail for you, Curly.” ‘



“You didn’t ask me.”



“So you and him are thick are you ?”



“I’ve met him once, if that’s being

thick. That time I shot him up.”



“Funny. And then he went bail for

you.”



“Yes.”



“Now I wonder why.”



The eyes of the'man had narrowed

to red .slits. His head had shot for

ward on his shoulders as that of a.

snake does. Curly would have given

a good deal just then for the revolver

lying on the bed of his room. For it

was plain trouble was in sight. The

desperado had been drinking heavily

and was ready to do murder. I



“That’s easy 'to explain, Soapy. I

shot him because I was driven to it.



He’s too much of a man to bear a.

grudge for what I couldn’t help."



“That’s it, is it?» Does that. explain ,

loose a horse thief?” ,



“If I told you why, you would not

understand.”



“Let’s hear you try.”



“He did it because I was young, just

as Sam is; and because he figured that

some day Sam might need a_ friend,

too.” . .



“You’re a liar. He did it because you

promised to sneak up to my ranch and

spy on us. That’s why he did it.”



W’ith the last, word his gun jumped

into sight. That he was lashing him—

self into a fury was plain. Presently

his rage would end in a tragedy.



Given a chance, Curly would have

run for it. But Soapy was _a dead

shot. Of a sudden the anger in the

boy boiled up over the fear. In two

jumps he covered the ground and jam-

med his face close to the cold rim of

the blue steel barrel.



"I’m not heeled. Shoot and be dam—l

ned, you coward. And with my last

breath I’ll tell you that you’re a 1iar.”)



Flandrau had called his bluff, though

he had not meant it as one.

men were in sight and were watch-

ing. They had heard the young man

tell Stone he was not armed. Public

opinion would hold him to account if

he shot Curly down in cold blood. He

hung there undecided, breathing fast,

his jaw clamped tightly.



The lad hammered home his defi-

ance. “Drop that gun, you four-flusher

and I’ll whale you till you can’t stand.

Sabe? Call yourself a bad man, do

you? Time I’m through with you there

will be one tame wolf crawling back

to Dead Cow with its tail between its

legs.”





 





A dozen ‘





 





The taunt diverted his mind, just as

Curly had hoped it would.

the revolver back into the holster and

reached for his foe.





Then everybody, hitherto paralyzedi





by the sight of a deadly weapon, woke

up and took a hand. They dragged the

two men apart. Curly was thrust into

a barber shop on the other side of the

street and Stone was dragged back

into the Silver Dollar.



In two minutes Flandrau had made

himself famous, for he was a marked

man. The last words of the struggling

desperado had been that he would

shoot on sight. Now half a dozen

talked at once. Some advised Curly

one thing, some another. He must get

out of town. He must apologize at once

to Stone. He must send a friend and

explain.



The young man laughed grimly. “Ex-

plain nothing. I’ve done all the ex-

plaining I’m going to. And I’ll not

leave town either. If Soapy wants me

he‘ll sure find me."



“Don’t be foolish, kid.

four notches on that gun of his.

he's a dead shot.”



The tongues of those about him gal-

loped. Soapy was one of these Billy-

the-Kid killers, the only one left from

the old days. He could whang away

at a quarter with that sawed-off .45 of

his and hit it every crack. The sooner

Curly understood that no boy would

have a chance with him the better it

would be. So the talk ran.



“He’s got you bluffed to a fare-you-

well. You’re tame enough to eat out

of his hand. Didn’t Luck Cullison go

into the hills and bring him down all

alone?” Flandrau demanded.





“Luck’s another wonder. There ain't

another man in Arizona could have

done it. Leastways no other but

Bucky O’Connor.”



But Curly was excited, pleased with

himself because he had stood up to

the bogey man of the southwest, and

too full of strength to be afraid.



Maloney came into the barber shop

and grinned at him.



“Hello, son!” A



“Hello, Dick!"



“I hear you and Soapy are figuring

STORY I-II.





Bumper Saves Fuzzy Wuzz from

Snake. ‘





VHILE accepting smilingly [the



plaudits of the others for what



seemed to be great bravery on

his part in tearing down the hornet’s

neat in the vegetable patch, Bumper

was greatly disturbed by his display of

ignorance. Had it dawned upon him

that the big iound ball was the home

of Mr. and Mrs. Yellow Jacket,- he'

would have scampered away with the





It was a. narrow escape from dis-

grace. Spotted Tail had been suspi-

cious, but Bumper’s ready wit in turn-





i-l ,ing aside the awkward question had





won him further glory. But right down

in his heart he wasn’t sure that Spot-

ted Tail had been convinced. He eyed

Bumper was cer-





“I must be more careful, ” he reason-

ed. “Spotted Tail has no love for me.’



But if Spotted Tail was disloyal,

Fuzzy Wuzz was the soul of honor and

loyalty. She looked at Bumper through

her meek, brown eyes in a way that

made him happy. Fuzzy Wuzz was a.

rabbit, and





She could trace her ancestry way back

to the first leader of her race, the

white rabbit who had predicted the

coming of Bumper. That was so many

years ago that none bu‘ the 01d Blind

Rabbit had any memtil‘y of it. But

the blood of this royal leader still

showed itself in a number of his de-

mscendants.



For instance, Fuzzy Wuzz had more

white than brown or gray on her back

and head. Her breast was pure white,

and most of her head, while there were

patches of it on her sides. But the

mixture of blood had given her some

'very 'dark coloring, which made her

anything but a white rabbit.





“Fuzzy Wuzz was bright and cheer-

ful, always smiling or laughing, and

her wit sometimes equalled that of

Bumper. It was not unnatural, there-

fore, that Bumper should select her

for special marks of friendship. A

close intimacy sprang up between

them, and they often hopped off in the

woods together to feed by themselves.





Bumper found that Fuzzy Wuzz

knew a lot more about wood lore than

he, and pursuing his plan to gain all

the information he could from every

one he madegood use of her friend-





, ship. ,Pretending to test her knowl-





edge, he would ask "her all sorts of

questions, which she answered readily

like a school boy being quizzed by his

teacher.



“Why do you ask me such silly ques-

tions?" she asked one day. “You’d

think I didn’t know anything."



“No, that isn’t it,” replied‘Bumper,

assuming a. friendly attitude. “I dont

want you to get in trouble in the Woods

and when Old Blind Rabbit trusts you

with me I must be sure you know how

to look after yourself if I should leave

you for an instant. What would you

do, for instance, if Mr. Fox should ap-

pear and chase you?" ,





be so frightened I’d fall down? in a.

faint.”



"That‘s what you shouldn’t do,” cau-

tioned Bumper. . ,“If you get panicky

you’d lose your héad, and run right

into his jaws.” "

“Why, I’d run if I could. Maybe I’d,





“What would you do 11 he chased

you?" she asked.





 

 





By George Ethelbers. W406





Fox nearly caught me ” he replied.

Then he related to her the story of

how he had induced the fox to look at

the sun until he was tempohfily blind-

ed. Fuzzy Wuzz laughed at this until

the tears ran down her cheeks. Then

she added. - ,



' “It was very bright of you. I’m sure

I’d never think of such a trick. ”



. “I’m not so sure of that '1, replied.

Bumper. “You’ re bright enough, but ill

you lost your wits you might forget





‘what to do. ”





It was shortly after this conversa-





tion that Fuzzy Wuzz got in trouble,





and Bumper came to her rescue and

saVed her by his wits. They had been

feeding on the luscious stalks of wild

celery near the marsh when they grad-

ually got separated. Fuzzy Wuzz was

nibbling away at the leaves all 'un-

conscious of danger, when she was

startled by a loud hiss in front of her.



She looked up in surprise and saw

facing her not a. foot away a tremen-

dous blacksnake. He was the king

’blacksnake of the woods, with a‘ body





‘almost as big around as her head, and





a tail that stretched way off in the dis-

tance. Therabbits called him Killer

the Snake because he had destroyed

so many birds and young bunnies. He

was so big and ferocious that he could

swallow a small rabbit whole.



When Fuzzy Wuzz saw Killer the

Snake so close to her she became par-

alyzed with fear. Instead of using her

wits as Bumper had cautioned when in

danger she simply crouched down, and

made a. pitiful little noise of terror.

Killer, conscious of his magnetic pow-

er, swayed his head back and ferth,

his small, beady eyes on her, and be-

gan approaching in slow, rhythmic mo-

tions. Fuzzy Wuzz for the life of her

couldn’t move, but she kept. up her

pitiful little moaning.



It was this noise that attracted

Bumper, and he called out: “What’s

the matter, Fuzzy Wuzz?” '



There was no answer but the moan-

ing continued. Bumper stopped chew-

ing the delicious leaf he had in~his

mouth, and hopped in her direction.

His coming must have disturbed Kill-

er, for he shook his head angrily, and

half turned to face this unknown thing

hopping through the bushes.



Bumper came upon Killer from be-

hind. He had never seen a snake be-

fore, but the long black body half coil-

ed like a rope instantly told him that

it meant danger. A sight Of Fuzzy

Wuzz confirmed his suspicions. Bump-

er’s first intention was to pounce upon

the shake to save Fuzzy Wuzz. Then

he stopped to think. No, this would

never do. Killer might then turn and

make short work Of him.



Bumper kept at a respectable dis-

tance while he tried to work his wits,

although this was difficult with Fuzzy

Wuzz’s pitiful moaning in his ears.





Then suddenly he saw his opportunity.





Some distance back from Killer was

a big tree that had been snapped off

nearthe ground by a. terrific wind. It

was still held suspended in air by a.

few branches and the bark that had

not been broken by the storm.



Bumper turned‘ and hopped toward

this tree. Killer watched him suspi-

ciously, but as he remained at a safe

distance be turned his head slowly

back to Fuzzy Wuzz. Bumper began

gnawing at the bark whiCh held the

.« K1ller lay. ‘ He gnawed with his sharp

teeth until they thegan to“? bleed.- .

and Killer, sure now that amou- was
«211011 29:11:19;





(Continued from page 693).



It did Curly good to see him stand-

ing there so easy and deliberate among

the excitable town people.



“Soapy is doing the talking.”



“I heard him, happened to be at the





> Silver Dollar when they dragged him





inside.” .



Maloney’s eyebrows moved the least

bit. His friend understood. Together

they passed out of the back door of

the shop into an alley. The others

stood back and let them go. But their

eyes did not leave Curly so long as

he was in sight. Until this thing was

settled one way or the other the young

rustler would be one of the most im-

portant men in town. Citizens would

defer to him that had never noticed

him before. He carried with him a

touch of the solemnity that is allowed

only the dead or the dying.



Back to the hotel the two ran. When

Curly buckled on his revolver and felt

it resting comfortably against his

thigh he felt a. good deal better.



“I’ve seen Slats Davis,“ Maloney ex-

plained. “He has gone to find Luck,

who is now at the Del Mar. At least

he was an hour ago.”



“Had any talk with Slats?”



“No. He said you’d do the talking.”



“I’m to wait for him on El Molino

street to learn where I’m to meet Cul-

lison.”



“That won’t do. You’d make too

tempting a target. I’ll meet him in-

stead.”



That suited Curly. He was not hunt-

ing trouble just now, even though he

would not run away from it. For he

had serious business on hand that

could not take care of itself if Soapy

should kill him.



Nearly an hour later Maloney ap-

peared again.



“We’re to go right over to the Del

Mar. Second floor, room 217. You are

to go down El Molino to Main, then

follow it to the hotel, keeping on the

right hand side of the street. Slats

will happen along” the other side of the

street and will "keep abreast of you.

Luck will walk with me behind you.

Unless I yell your name don’t pay any

attention to what is behind you. Soon

as we reach the hotel Slats will cross

the road and go in by the side door.

You will follow him a few steps behind

and we’ll bring up the rear casually as

if we hadn’t a thing to do with you.”



“You’re taking a heap of pains, it

seems to me.”



“Want to keep you from getting

spoilt till September term of court op-

ens. Didn’t ,I promise Bolt you would

show up?”



They moved down the street as ar—

ranged. Every time a door opened in

front of him, every time a man came

out of a store or a saloon, Curly was

ready for that lightning lift of the arm

followed by a puff of smoke. The news.

of his coming passed ahead of him,

so that Windows were crowded with

spectators. These were doomed to dis-

appointment. Nothing happened. The

procession left behind it the Silver

Dollar, the Last Chance, Chalkeye’s

Place and ‘Pete's Place.





Reaching the hotel first, Davis dis-

appeared according to program into

the side door. Curly followed, walked

directly up the stairs, along the corri-

dor, and passed without knocking into

loom 217.



A young woman was sitting there

engaged with some fancy work. Slen-

der and straight, Kate Cullison rose

and gave Curly her hand. For about

two heartbeats her fingers lay cuddled

in his big fist. A strange stifling emO‘

tion took his breath.



Then her arm fell to her side and

she was speaking to him.



1 “Dad has gone to meet you. We’ve





beats all how far a little excitement

goes in this town,” he answered, em‘

barrassed.



Her father and Maloney entered the

room. Cullison wrung his hand.



“Glad to see you, bov. You’re in

luck that convict did not shoot you up

while he had the chance. Saguache is

sure buzzing this mo’ning with the

way you stood up to him. That little

play of yours will help with the jury

in Septembe1. ”



Cuily thanked him for going bail.



Luck fixed his steel- spoked eyes on

him. “By what Dick tells me you’ve

more than squared that account.”





Kate explained in her soft voice.

“Dick told us why you went up to Dead

Cow creek."



“8110! I hadn’t a thing to do, so I

just ran up there. Sam’s in town with

me. We’re rodming together.”



“Oh, take me to him,” Kate cried.



“Not just“ now, honey,” her father

said gently. “This young man came

here to tell us something. Or so I

gathered from his friend Davis."





Flandrau told his story, or all of it

that would bear telling before a girl.

He glossed over his account of the dis-

sipation at the horse ranch, but he told

all he knew of Laura London and her

interest in Sam. But it was when he

related what he had heard at Chalk-

eye’s place that the interest grew most

tense. While he was going over the

plot to destroy young Cullison there





was no sound in the room but hisi

Luck's eyes burned like live





voice.

of his daughter so that her lips were





gray as cigar ash. Yet she sat up

straight and did not flinch.



When he had finished the owner of

the Circle C caught his hand. “You’ve

done fine, boy. Not a man in Arizona

could have done it better.”,



Kate said nothing in words but her

dark long-lashed eyes rained thanks

upon him.





They talked the situation over from.





all angles. Always it simmered down

to one result. It was Soapy’s first play.

Until he moved they could not. They

had no legal evidence ex’cept the word

of Curly. Nor did they knowon what

night he had planned to pull off the

hold-up. If they were to make a com-

plete gather of the outfit, with evi-

dence enough to land them in the pen—

itentiary, it could only be after the

hold-up.



Meanwhile there was nothing to do

but wait and take what precautions

they could against being caught by

surprise. One of these was to see that

Sam was never for an instant left un-

guarded either day or night. Another





was to ride to Tin Cup and look the .





ground over carefully. For the pres-

ent they could do no more than watch

events, attracting no attention by any

whispering together in public.



.Before the conference broke up Kate

came in with her protest.



“That's all very well, but what about

Mr. Flandrau? He can’t stay in Sag-

uache with that man threatening to

kill him on sight."



“Don’t worry about me, Miss Kate;”

and Curly looked at her and blushed.



Her father smiled grimly. “No, I

wouldn’t, Kate. He isn’t going to be

troubled by that wolf just now.”



“Doesn’t stand to reason he’d spoil

all his plans just to bump me off.”



“But he might. He forgot allabout

his plans this morning. How do we

know he mightn’t a second time?”



“Don’t you worry, honey. I’ve got a.





card up my sleeve,” Luck promised.

F you want anything to go, get the

women to take hold of it. That is

the axiom on which the residents

of Alpine and Walker townships in

Kent county, Michigan, acted when

they organized their community club

four years ago—a club, by-the-way,

which for three successive years took

‘flrst prize with their exhibit at the

West Michigan Fair, this year walking

away with the second prize of sixty

dollars. The club had its beginning in

a “brotherhood” of men, which, while

it sounds like a church organization,

was in reality only a neighborhood club

of men banded together to study soils,

grains, balanced rations, first aid to

animals and similar subjects connect-

ed with their work.

The club started out with great

promise, but something seemed to be

lacking. Slowly it dawned on the mem-

«bers that the something was the pres-

ence of the women, so the brotherhood

branched out into the community club,





Field, Orchard and Garden





’where husband and wife, and the chil-

dren, too, could meet together in a mu-

tual benefit society. Interest grew and

the club took up other lines of work.

The women wanted to know about

their side of farming, canning, sew-

ing, household decoration, poultry rais.

"ing and culling of flocks, and balanced

rations and first aid to human beings.

.So when demonstrators and speakers

lcame from the Agricultural College to

(tell the men what to do there was also

a call for the women specialists to pre-

sent the problems of the home. _



Interest in the club grew apace af-

ter the women were admitted, until

mow it is a flourishing organization.

The members work through commit-

"tees, a program, a lunch and a busi-

ness committee to handle, the all-year-

round business, and a group of com-

mittees called the fair committees and

consisting of committees on soils,

grains and grasses, canned goods,

crops and flowers. The business com-

mittee takes care of buying and selling

_for the club, though thus far the only

cooperative buying has been tertiliders

,and binder twine. Grains aresecur'ed

The club now numbers ninety mem-

bers who pay the modest dues of fifty

cents yearly. From November until

April day meetings are held with a.

cafeteria lunch. Often as high as one

hundred and twenty-five are served,

and the number never falls below forty

except in summer when the meetings

are held in the evening, with either a

supper or light refreshments served.

There is always a business meeting

at which matters of local and mutual

interest may be discussed, and then a

program, sometimes music and read-

ings, and sometimes speakers. Wilson

Dunnette is president, Miss Clara

Johnstone, vice-president, and Mrs. E.

H. Rogers, secretary-treasurer. The’

two‘ first named officers are changed





yearly.





The grains and grasses in the ex-





hibit illustrated were all grown and





gathered by club members, and the

canning done by women members’of

the club. The exhibit was arranged by





 





Contributed to the Prize Exhibit of Alpine and

Walker Community Club.





Mr. and Mrs. Louis Vanderscore, Mr.

and Mrs. Wilson Dunnette, and Mr.

and Mrs. E. H. Rogers. Mr. Vander-

score was chairman of the committee.

To make sure that the community

club will live forever the members

have interested themselves in the boys

and girls. There are flourishing boys’

and girls’ clubs working with the par-

ent organization. This year the boys

turned their attention to raising Ches-

ter Whites and their exhibit netted

them $82 at the West Michgian Fair.





WELL KEPT HANDS.





BY JULIA R. DAVIS.





REASONABLE amount of self~rec

spect and pride in one’s personal

appearance is a great asset to any girl

or her mother. As the hands are just

as indicative of character as the face

these should be given scrupulous care,

that they may always look well-kept.

“But, how can this be done by wom-

en who have to do all kinds of house-

hold drudgery?” someone will ask.

’By well-kept. hands .I do not mean

”that itqis. necessary to ‘(ha'vesthe nails

to have them fairly'glistening with pol-

ish. 7A—soft-white hand Withflflifilfllg

and F'tapering is usually ‘a'sign of the

incOmpetence of its possessor. In fact,

it is a sure sign of idleness and a

waste of muchgood time to keep it so.



By an attractivehand, I mean one

that is smooth and firm; the nails

free from dirt, cut round, and fairly

close, and the quick pushed back.

Keep a stiff brush on your washstand,

and with it scrub your hands and nails,

thoroughly, at least once a day. Use

lukewarm water for this cleansing the

entire year, and dry well to keep them

from chapping. .



Keep ready 8. solution composed of

equal parts of-rose water and glycer-

lne and immediately after washing

them, just before they are quite dry,

rub in a few drops of this mixture. If

it is not convenient to have rose wa-

ter, the pure glycerine is very effec-

tive fon‘ keeping the hands soft and

free from the traces of grime. Some

people claim that glycerine does not

whi.ch___.it .does,.,.n01;, a hgney solution.

mutton: "willow-1~ or: a good" skin 'food

cream may be used, rubbing it over

the hands while they are still damp.

Any exceSS fat remainingvon the sur-

face after thoi‘oughly rubbing in may

be wiped off with a towel.



After drying the hands, gently push

back, the cuticle of each nail with the

towel. It is well to get a complete lit-,

tle manicure set, and with this give

your nails a good manicuring once or

twice a week. '



Sometimes skin irritation and chap

ped hands are caused by the soap used

for the same soap does not agree with

all skins. Use a make that has been

found satisfactory in your case, and

avoid this trouble.



No matter how hard youvuse your

hands you need never be ashamed 'of

them if you faithfully carry out these

few instructions. I am speaking from

personal experience for I have proved

the truth of my advice here given.





Charge the Enemy, Fear





ERHAPS the greatest obstacle to



success is fear. Many a young bus-



iness girl fears the ridicule, of her

associates and the criticism of her em-

ployer. She is overwhelmed by a thou-

sand nameless terrors. Constant ap-

prehension not only destroys her effi-

ciency, but creates an atmosphere that

reacts to her detriment. When I find

.a girl of reasonable ability held back

for some unaccountable reason, ten

chances to one investigation proves

that it has its root in groundless ap-

prehension.”



This remarkable statement by the

highest salaried woman executive in

America, Miss Henrietta F. H. Reid,

assistant to the president of the Bush

Terminal Company,_ appeared in a re-

cent issue of a woman’s magazine, in

an article addressed to girls. It seem-

ed too good to confine to young busi-

ness women who are consumed with

the desire to “make good.” In fact it

seemed to me that it belonged more to

the farm boy and girl than to the

young woman in business, for it has

been my’experience that the pe0p1e

most liable to underrate themselves in

this world are the boys and girls who

have been bred on the farms, kept

through force of circumstances from

rubbing up continually against their





" fellows.





Looking back to school teaching

days-' in the old country school, it

seems to me now that the majority of

poor marks the boys and. girls got

were given them, not beCause they

didn’t know the lesson, but because

they were afraid to recite. I can recall

many a, student whom I knew must be

able to answer every question I asked,

but who only dumbly shook his head,

while some more self-confident class-

mate arose and rattled the lesson off.

There was nothing to do but put down

a bad mark, though.



Fear of making a mistake, of being

laughed at, held these children back in

school. It will probably hold them back

through life unless.they make a deter-

mined fight to overcome it. Those

“thousand nameless terrors,” how well

the sensitive person knows them. And

no one but the sensitive person knows

what untold bravery it takes to over-

come them. Going over the more

quires no greater courage than charg-

ing the enemy—fear. Fear of ridicule,

fear of failure, fear of making a mis-

take, as Miss Reid puts it, keeps more

people back than any other thing.



And the country-bred person I be-

lieve is more liable to those fears than

the city-bred. The boy in the city is

early accustomed to' measuring him-

self by his fellows. The street is his

playground, and while it may be unde-

sirable from many points of 'view, at

least it affords him an opportunity to.





find lhimseltgf 1He is inspired ”by the





l.





daring of his braver fellows to try

each fear-producing stunt, and learns

in time that one failure isn't going to

Wreck his life.



The farm child hasn’t this opportu-

nity. He has only the short recess and

noon hour at school to meet his play-

mates, and then hurries home. As a

result he is apt to grow shy and dis-

trustful of his own ability, to become

a victim to apprehensions which keep

him back from success. The best cure

for this is to keep him as much with

other children as is possible. Isola-

tion is bad ‘for everyone. It always

works in one of two ways, either we

groytr timid and are afraid to venture,

or we become perfectly satisfied with

ourselves and when we are thrown

with others we fail to grow because of

the contact.



If you’re a victim of terrorism begin

your fight against it today. Haven’t

you watched many men and women of

your acquaintance who “do things,”

head committees, manage clubs and

fairs and granges, and wondered how

they could do it when you, better edu-

cated perhaps, could never do it? It

is simply because they have self-con-

fidence, while you are fearful. Per-

haps you have even greater ability, and

are 'simply afraid to use it. .



We had a copy in school, usually

once a month, which may help you:

“We lose the good we oft might win by

failing to attempt.” If you have been

losing out through this failure, begin

your reform today. DEBORAH.

N making salt pork, first rub each



piece with fine salt, the next day

cover with a brine made up of ten

pounds of salt and two ounces of salt—

peter to four gallons of boiling water.

This will be enough for one hundred

pounds of pork. Leave in the brine

until needed. For hams and bacon rub

each piece with salt, the next day pack

in a barrel or stone jar, cover with a

brine made up of eight pounds of salt,

two pounds of brown sugar and two

ounces of saltpeter dissolved in four

gallons of boiling water. After cool-

be‘left in the brine four to six weeks

and hams six to eight weeks.



There are many ways to improvise

a smoke house. One of the simplest is

to invert a barrel, suspend the hams

and bacon from the bottom by passing

astring through holes in the bottom of

the barrel with a length» or two of

stove pipe. Maple wood is regarded

as the best fuel. Hardwood is prefer-

able to soft wood. Corncobs are very

AVE you ever thought, when you

stood and watched someone driv-

ing fast down the street, “Well,' he

didn’t take the road with him.” You

know what the idea was when you ex-

pressed that old and homely saying,

that in spite of; all the man’s haste,

there was a chance for you to come on

after him, even if you did not drive at

such a terrific pace.



' “He did not take the road with him.”

These are days when history is mak-

ing fast. We look out over the world

and see nations go down and new

ones take their place. Men are rising

and falling like blocks we used to

stand on end when we were younger

than we are now, tumbling them all

bring us to the very best there is in

life. Possibly we shall never have

quite as much money to 'spend just

“Easy come, easy go,” is an old adage

that has much of truth in it.

WINTERlNG BEES.





 





--(COntinued from page 687).



need not trouble except to see that the

melting snow does not freeze and close

the entrance with ice, and that dead

bees do not choke it. If it is kept

clear the bees will get all the fresh air

they need. In the cellar, however, we

must see that ventilation is possible,

and except in the severest. weather





there ‘should be some access to the





outer air. In the earlier part of the

Winter this is less important and the

bees seem so utterly dormant that

very little ventilation will suffice, but

towards spring they will be noisier

and more active and one can tell by

the smell if the air is not pure and

fresh. Where windows are opened to

admit air this should be done at night

to avoid the light attracting the bees

from their hives.





Some of the most successful Michi-

gan beekeepers, notably the late W. Z.

Hutchinson, winter bees in specially

constructed cellars in the open air.

The construction is much the same as

those used in storing potatoes and oth-

er vegetables away from frost, and

ventilation in these cellars is obtained

by ventilators running right up through

the roof.



Now we come to the question of the

food supply. Unless there is plenty

of food of the best quality in the hive

the bees are likely to become restless

and starve out sooner. They seem to

know that all is not well with them

and to worry about it. If the stores

are not properly ripened, or contain

much nitrogenous matter the bees are

troubled with dysentery, another dis-

turbing factor. Thick granulated sug-

ar syrup, fed early so that they can

ripen and seal it, or the best honey of

the season should be present in abund-

ance—forty or fifty pounds is none too

much for a strong colony, and the sur-

plus is never wasted. It is the bee-

keeper’s best investment, for it in-

sures abundant brood rearing when

spring comes. At the time this will

be in print it will be too late to feed

syrup, and anyone caught with bees

that have to be fed, can do so only by

using sealed combs of honey, or

they are not obtainable, slabs of bee

candy. The sealed combs are best, for

the making of candy is quite an art. It

is too long to tell here.





Lastly, and most important of all,

the essential condition of all good Win-

tering is to have none but strong col-

onies when the time comes to put

them away for winter. The small clus-

ter has a great deal more surface in

proportion to its size than the large

one, and heat radiates away from this

surface slowly but steadily all the

time. The bees have to take their

turns to go inside the cluster to "warm

up,” and the weak ones have to take

turns on the outside so frequently that

their intestines become filled with the

food they consume in a vain attempt

to keep warm, and they die of the

dysentery brought about by this cause.





Big colonies cluster in a great mass

and change so slowly that the individ-

ual bees retain their freshness and vig-

or till such time as a cleansing flight

gives them the opportunityof reliev-

ing their bowels when on the wing.

Every small weak colony in fall should

be united up to another by placing the

two hive—bodies in contact with a sin-

gle thickness of newspaper between.

In a few days they will have eaten

their way through and united peace-

ably, and the balance of combs with

the second super can be removed.





Darkness and quiet are both very

desirable, though it does not hurt .to

enter the cellar when necessary. If

the cellar is much used for other pur-

poses the bees should either be board-

ed off or turned with their entrances

away from the light in the farthest

corner. '

JERSEYS





Michigan’s Jersey cattle " are

, the pride of its farms. ' A

herd of pure-bred "Jerseys

adds good will to a farm be-

. cause Jerseys are recognized

as valuable, tangible assets.

Every man who is so fortun-

ate as to own a good herd of

pure-bred Jerseys points with

pride to his “Money Makers."

Even to the man who does

the milking, there is some-

thing in the inbred beauty

“and easy handling qualities

.of a. Jersey that appeals.





 





Beauty alone would not be

enough, but when beauty is

combined with persistency,

economy, and big dairy pro-

fits, then there is every rea-

son for choosing Jerseys.





That’s why we are Jersey-

men!

BETTER FINISHED SH-EERAD’ - ‘-





2 vusso. ‘ 2





 





,United. States Department of Agri-

culture has advised the

in the corn states surrounding the Chi-

cago market to make a. general con-

certed movement to make their flocks

of -lambs and sheep better in quality

beforwarketing. This advice should

certainly be followed, for at least half

of the lambs marketed in Chicago lack

in flesh and have to be sold at large

discounts from prices paid for the fat

flocks. While there is usually a good

profit in raising or finishing choice

mutton for the market, producing in-

ferior flocks is a losing game.





Nine out of ten of the tragedies due

to the farm bull may be traced to mis-

chievous boys pestering the animal, or

to some man on the place treating him

cruelly. Neither of these things ever

ought to happen. Five minutes of tor-

menting or abusing the bull will do

more to spoil its disposition than all

the rest of his life can undo—E. L. V.



The best contrived milk pail in the





'yworld cannot‘ keep out filth if the





milker has the habit of wetting his

hands with milk before he begins the

milking—E. L. V.

FIRST EDITION.





The markets in this edition were re-

vised and corrected on Tuesday after-

noon, November 25.





WHEAT.





.A stronger tone obtains in wheat

circles where prices have advanced

since a week ago. The announcement

of the removal of the embargo on

wheat and flour to take effect Decem-

ber 15 had some influence on values.

Over a half million bushels of wheat

were exported from eastern and south-

ern ports the past week. The demand

for the better grades of flour has also

aided in fixing higher prices. Farmers

are not delivering heavily and the vis-

ible supply shows a. decrease of 3,230,-

000 bushels. A year ago the price for

No. 2 red wheat was $2.24 on this mar-

ket. Present prices here are:]



No. 2 red .......$2.30

No.1 mixed ............ 2.28

No.1 white 2.28

No. 2 red OOOOCOIOIOUO'I 2-27

No.3red COICOIOOOOIIIOO 2.24





CORN.





Price changes have been in both di-

rections the past week and an uncer-

tain sentiment prevails among dealers.

Deliveries have increased but are less

than the trade expected, export buying

has been resumed, some of the large

corn-consuming industries have begun

manufacturing again after shutting

down for lack of coal, hogs have ad-

yanced and the inclement Weather

promised by the weather man indi-

cates shorter receipts for the coming

days. Opposed to this bullish news are

the uncertain industrial conditions.

The American visible supply increased

by 48,000 bushels. One year ago the

price of No. 3 corn on this market was

$1.40 per bushel. Chicago is now pay-

ing for N0. 2 mixed $1.45@1.50; No. 2

yellow $1.49@1.501/2; December at

$1.321/1; May $1.273/g. Present Detroit

prices are:



No.3 corn ..............$1.53

No.3 yellow $1.55

No. 4 yellow 1.53

No.5 yellow 1.52





OATS.





A heavy decrease in the visible sup-

ply of oats, a strong domestic demand

and the call of exporters for shipments

,to cross seas gives this grain a firm

tone. A year ago the local price for

standard grade was 741/20. Present

Detroit quotations are:



No. 2 white ..............77

N0. 3 white ......... ......76

No. 4 white ...............75





RYE.





The taking of rye by both millers

and exporters advanced local prices in

cereal to $1.45 fOr cash No. 2. Offerings

have been light.





BEANS.





Dullness continues to be the chief

characteristic of the bean market.

Buyers are not taking more than is

required for visible consumptive de-

mands. Many growers and some deal-

ers mold to the faith that a point will

be reached where consumption will

finally absorb the present available

supplies in the hands of jobbers and

wholesalers and that prices then should

show some deflection upward. In New

York choice pea beans are quoted at

$7.50@8 for this year’s crop, and $7@

7.50 for common to fair. The Detroit

quotation is down to $6.75 for immedi-

ate and prompt shipment. Market here





is inactive.

FEEDS.





Wheat feeds steady; corn feeds little

lower: Bran $46; standard middlings

$51@51.50; fine middlings $61@61.50;

coarse corn meal $60@62; cracked

corn $66; corn and oat chop $53@55

per ton in 100pound sacks.





 





Supplies are scarce and the demand

good at unchanged prices. No. 1‘tim-

othy at $28.50@29; timothy and

light mixed $27.50@28.; No. 2 timothy

$26.50@27; No. 3 timothy $23@25;

No. 1 clover $26.50@27.

No. .1 clover mixed $30.50@31; No. 1

. POTATOES.





 





. C The amnion: has generally vbeen‘ho‘zs:





“Ell 'J‘iEEI‘ ifijEil‘;





slow the past few days and prices are

little changed. Michigan growers are

receiving from $2@2.25 per cwt for

round whites, U. S. No. 1 in bulk at

warehouses. Growers are holding for

higher prices. Detroit’s market firm

with Michigan U. S. No. 1 stock, well

graded mostly at $4.50 per ISO-pound

sack, and $2.90 per cwt in bulk. Chi-

cago’s market is uneven on account of

frozen stock at about steady prices.

The above grade is selling there at

$2.80@2.95 per cwt. The same descrip-

tion brings $4.50 per 150-pound sack in

Cleveland and $4.25 in Pittsburgh.





BUTTER.





Receipts are running a little small-

er, with demand curtailed by recent

price advances. Export buying con-

tinues. At Detroit fresh creameries

have advanced to 641/2@65c a pound.

The Chicago market is higher at 57@

711/2c for creamery. A firmer tone is

reported in New York where the range

for creamery stock is 63@74c. The

best creamery butter brings 730 in





Philadelphia.

EGGS.





Changes here are all for a stranger

market and higher values. Local pric-

es have advanced to 66@70c for fresh

eggs and 47% @510 for storage stock.

Chicago market is steady at 59611690.





WOOL





Notwithstanding the advancement of

prices to new high levels the volume

of trading on the Boston market the

past week aggregated over 15,000,000

pounds, the largest quantity sold in

any week for many months back.

Fleece wools are especially strong, the





best fine unwashed delaine being held

by some dealers at 90c; three-eighths

blood at 70@72c and half-blood at 830.

The American market is comparative-

ly lower than the markets of any oth-

er wool-consuming country, prices in

England having recently- set new high

records. The result is that in some

cases wool intended for this country

have found an outlet elsewhere and

the shortened demand is pushing do-

mestic prices up rapidly.





RAND RAPIDS





Potatoes advanced to $1.60 a bushel

and market is strong. They are high-

er here than at any other point for

ungraded, equal to $2.33 per cwt. and

growers make long hauls, some a dis-

tance of 50 miles. White cabbage is

strong on an advance to $1.50 a bush-

el. Jobbers report Michigan-grown as

scarce, and bid $60 per ton. Celery is

somewhat scarce and higher, selling

on the city market at 30c per dozen

stalks. Only limited supply of hot-

.house lettuce for Thanksgiving, grow-

ers selling at 200 per pound. Apples

are" higher. Northern Spies are quoted





,by jobbers at $4 per bushel and Bald-

wins at $3.50.





 





ASSURE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR

INTERNATIONAL VISITORS.





 





Arrangements have been made with

the Chicago Association of Commerce,

10 South LaSalle Street, (Telephone

Main 4808), to maintain a day and

night rooming service during the week

solutely guarantee to comfortably
