——w-:ith insufficient surplus when you can in-

sure in the largest exclusive mutual auto-
mobile insurance company in the world

In the winter of 1914 a law was passed by the State Legislature .
which provided for the-organization of mutual automobile insurance 1
The men who prepared this law organized the CITIZENS’
.M'U’l‘UAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY\ of Howell,
taking out their license to do business August 27th, 1915.
Within a few months a
p111ies were Oiganized until now there are nine competing companies

One of these smaller companies had assets of $887.70; another
had assets above liabilities of $88.14; a third had assets in excess of '1
liabilities of $1,273.55; while a fourth had a surplus of but $65.27 ac.-
cording to their statements of January 1st, 1920.

The careful automobile owner is anxious to insure with a com-
puny having sufﬁcient surplus on hand to pay the big claims.
one month recently the CITIZENS’ MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSUR-
ANCE COMPANY of Howell paid one liability claim of $2,975.00, one
ﬁre claim of $2,975.00, a personal injury claim of $1,750.00.
Company has never had to borrow a dollar and has always had suﬂi-
cient surplus to pay its claims promptly.

back hinders somewhat the organiza-

prejudice in the markets against the
grass which is found in the hay tram
some sections of the state. The state
farm bureau feels conﬁdent that it
can overcome this prejudice. .0hem-
ical analysis has proyen that the may
jority of these grasses are of equal
feed value and in a few cases even
contain a higher percentage of pro-
tein than timothy cut green to give
it the good green color upon which
the terminal markets base ‘their
grading so largely. It is generally
known among farmers who his.“

begun an educational campaign
among the consumers which will“

show that standard grading does not

outstanding, each tax unit to share in
proportion of mileage in that unit to
total mileage.

Equality of assessment between in-
dividuals and between tax districts.

name in the program. Many others
will be fought but before the reseluo
tions committee and probably debat-
ed on the open ﬂoor of the convention.
Some of the more important subjects
given a place on the program are:
Transportattow—Monday afternmn
will Mgive'n over entirely to the dis‘
cussion of the various phases of this
problem of vital importance to the
farmer. Rail, Water and highway
transportation will each be treated.
separately Henry Sherley, Secre--
tary of the Fedrral Highway Council,
will announce and disCuss the results
of lengthy investigation and confer-
ence between thesupporters of the
Townsend Highway Bill and the sup—
porters of a modiﬁed form of the
present Federal Aid plan of road

building. An effort Will be made to
arrive at an agreement betWeen the
supporters of the two plans so as to
present a united front to Congress.

Clifford Thor‘ne will discuss certain
probably referring to the current sug-
gestions sent out by railroads to the
effect that they may ask for another
rate increase. ,Mr. Thorne will have
censiderable to say about the “Pitts-
burg Plus” case which was recently
before the Federal Trade Commission
and concerning which he presented
a brief on behalf of the Federation.
The case involves the practice where-
by steel manufacturers in the Chicago
disti'lct' charge Pittsburg prices plus
freight from Pittsfburg even though
is costs less to make steel at Chicago
than it does at Pittsburg.

   
  

 

  
 

Finance and Credit—This

subjecbl
will be treated from two angles. W.
P. G. Harding, Governor of the Fed-
eral Reserve Board, will explain the
fu'ndt‘ions of the Reserve System and

will endeaVOr to indicate how the
System can be of greater serviice to
the farmer.

A. L. Lever, former congressman
from South Carolina, best knewn as
the father of the Smith-Lever Act, and
now a member of the Federal Farm
Loan Board, will discuss Rural Cred-
its. Mr. Lever has several original
suggestions to make for improved
rural credit facilities. He may also
have something to say about the pres-
ent status of the Farm Loan Act

Cooperative Marketing—Henry C.
Wallace editor of Wallace’s Farmrr,
will speak Tuesday morningon “Fun-
damentals of Cooperative Marketing."
Mr. Wallace has been following very
closly the recent movement tOWard
cooperative marketing and his ideas
and conclusions are always worthy of
closest attention.

Milo D. Campbell, Presiden‘t‘of the
Milk Producers’ Association will also
discuss certain features of coopera-
tive marketing. His general subject
is “Looking Ahead"

Federal Taxatio —H. C. McKenzie,
of Walton New Ygrk is chairman of
the A F. B. F. Committee on Taxation
and has been making a careful study
of the propoesd repeal of existing

but he does not have to stop work in
the ﬁelds to do it. There will not be
a round of festivities for the club
member, but he will simply have a
business of his own to handle in a
businesslike manner. During the
season, club meetings will be held

regularly at which the social activi-

ties of the group receive attention.
Here, also, he learns from his club
leader of other information about
raising pigs. At the endof the sea—
son he can either sell his pig or keep
it to start a herd. It is‘better to grow
into a business than to go into one.
The purpose of the_club work is to
keep farm boys and girls interested
in the farm business, to teach and to
demonstrate good practices in agri-
culture and home economics. There
are prizes offered by the various pure
bred breeders’ associations to keep
up lively competition, but primarily
the proﬁt that the club member
makes on his pig and the knowledge
he receives from his own experience,
shows him that farming is a good
business.

In the case of the pig club the
boys and girls get the best gilt that
the pure bred breeders raise. It is
a business proposition and the farm-
er who encourages his boy or girl to
join one of the Boys’ and ‘ Girls‘
Clubs in that community 'and helps

structions, not as a lesson, but in
order that he or she may actually

crete motive for study.

story becomes vital because it is
the actual experience which he is
relating and not some imaginary ex—

How Co-operatiVe Methods Saved a California Alfalfa District

HE WRITER was one of
‘- , about one hundred and ﬁfty
farmers engage-d in growing
alfalfa in a certain California valley.
The land was good, water sufﬁcient
and a healthy market close at hand.

Only a few miles away, there was
a district of thousands of acres cut
up into small tracts devoted to, fruit
growing. Nearly every fruit farmer
owned a team and a cow that ate
alfalfa which he didn’t raise. From
a large nearby city, wholesale hay
dealers came into the valley with
their wagons and trucks.

Growing conditions were such that
from six to eight cuttings of alfalfa
Were made for the season and mar-
ket conditions made it possible to
sell a large part of the crop loose in
the ﬁeld—that is from the shock.

Yet, despite all these favorable
circumstances, the alfalfa growers
as a whole were not prosperous.

There seemed ‘to be a spirit; or in-
‘ha-rn'mny in the district. Each grow-
er’was a competitive seller with his
neighbors. There was no organized
man [between the, growers to keep
he’_.p'rlce of their product up to a
ii 113 basis. _

The question might be asked
could any sugar mills in Germany of
smaller capacity than those in this

chiefly a difference in the cost of

the influences that have lately

Let the Electric Current be a “Handy Man” About the Farm

Among the beneﬁts that electricity
brings to the farm home, possibly
electric lights will stand ﬁrst. Even
the smaller electric plants will fur-
nish current for twenty lights or
more, enough to light up a ﬁve or

ever be lighted with coal oil lamps
and to furnish light for the barn

Million Tests

and vvhat it means to
your auto, truck
or tractor

The secret of scientiﬁc oil reﬁning is pains-
taking care and unceasing vigilance. In
making EN-AR-CO oils we average over a
million tests a year. It is. only by this multi-
plying of tests that perfect products can be.
made. This thoroughness in our scientiﬁc
reﬁning processes is the protection we otter
to users of our products. ’

 

The delicate engine of your auto runs at
terriﬁc speeds and develops heat which in
the cylinders often exceeds 3,000 degrees at
the time of the explosion. The safeguard of
that‘engine is the lubricant which coats its
movmg parts to prevent ~friction. Your
motor oil must therefore be pure. It must
be tested to stand frightful heats. It must
not freeze in winter. Only oil as thoroughly
reﬁned as EN-AR-CO motor oil can guar-

' antee to protect your engine and insure its

life. V

 

Your truck has heavy loads to haul over
rough roads, often deep in sand, mud, slush,
snow and ice. It has to stand crushing
jolts and jars from its burden. Unless welﬁg
lubricated itslife will be short. Unless the
lubricant is the best it will not protect the
engine, transmission, gears and running
parts from friction and wear. EN-AR-CO
oils and greases will do it because they are
the best that the most scientiﬁc reﬁning
processes can produce.

 

Your tractor has to be able to deliver
tremendous pulling power to drag heavy
agricultural implements through the heavy
soil. Without lubrication it would not last
a season. Improperly lubricated its life
would be short. With EN-AR-CO oils and
greases, and National ‘Light Oil or White
Rose Gasoline as a fuel, your tractor will de-
liver a maximum of service at a minimum of
cost and it will serve you faithfully for many
years.

war levels and sheep are not rea-
lidng the price paid before the war.
Wool is sinking lower and lower in
‘ the scale of values with hardly a
ray of light for the future.

After all, there are those who are
predicting that the bottom for sell-
’ ing values is not far away. It is an-
nounced that many department stores
and other large handlers of dry
goods are about ready to buy goods
for the spring trade. It is the re-
tail trade of the country that. is, just
now. blocking the game but there
are indications that they are about
ready to begin the game of readjust-
ment. A new development in con-
nection with the textile industry, :is
the announcement made by eastern
clothing manufacturers that they
will resume operations only when a
suit of men‘s clothing can be sold
for $35. Commenting on this, the
Boston News .Bureau .makes the fol-
' lowing statement:

was not woolen cloth, costing
$10 $12 for 3 1:2 yards :in a suit
that made clothing high. It was the
garment makers’ unions putting up
wages with tremendously decreased
efﬁciency per man and the unions
demanding still more.

“\Vith strikes and lockouts and
shutdowns, the garment makers will
soon begin to inquire when they can
get fair wages and a full week’s
work. \Vool prices have been halv-
ed. \Vool spindles are 50 per cent
idle. The “7cm wants to know when
it can ﬁnd a market for wool. New
'England mill workers want to know
when they can get a full week’s
work. The public will not pay war
liricos any longer, and desira to
'know when it can buy clothing at
reasonable prices.

“All these questions will be ans-
wered when the garment makers join
the public and the mill workers, and
see the economic justice of a fair
weekly wage for a fair week‘s work.”

The retail situation, in boots and
shoes, is on a par with the dry goods
and clothing market; the public is
lmdly in need of footwear but they
are keeping away from retail stores
in the belief that a‘cut in selling
values must soon be made. Consum-
ers are net unreasonable in their de-
mands for lower prices; they know
that hides are lower and leather
cheaper; they also know that—labor
can be had for lower prices than
formerly and that the alvemge unit
of daily production has been greatly
increased. Reports from shoe man-
ufacturing. centers indicate that very
little leather is being cut. A year
ago last July, native steer hides sold
_ readily for 4’7 cents- per pound and
hemlock leather for 6441; native
steer hides are now down to 19 cents
per pound and calf skins are selling
at about the same price; hemlock
leather is selling for 40 cents per
pound. Recent large sales of hides

mitted in .order to effect the “even-
ing-up" of «the market, are just about
ready to call a halt on this illegiti-
mate and absolutely disreputable
practice. -That the money situation

' is beginning to ease up was proven

beyond 'a doubt by week-end devel-
opments. Call money which aims Ibeen
ranging around six per cent for sev-
eral days, broke on the week end :to

available at 7 1-2 per cent interest.

8-4 to '8 per cent and with .noimme-
diate prospect of a decline.

Heaviness in ~foreign exchange
rates still continues and good judg-
es of the situation do not look for
any improvement in this department
for some time to come. The October
report on the volume of . foreign
trade was again a surprise to many;
our exports for the tenth month of
the year were ...752,000,000 a gain
of $150, 000, 000 over September.
Our. exports exceeded our imports by
$390, 000, 000; this means another
increase in the balance of trade
which has "been accmnulating in our
favorduring the entire summer. Buy-
ing of steel is at low ebb and the in-
dependents have lowered their prices
to steel corporation levels. Whole-
sale dealers and jobbers in lumber
report a buying movement which has
already reached respectable propor-
tions.

that corn ripened in the ﬁeld much

7 ~ LIVE STOCK MARKETS

The Week ending November 20
was: one at the worst weeks that the
American shippers-of \iive stock- ever’
passed through and the actual mon-
ey loss sustained by them in six days:
rm well up- into six‘ ﬁgures. Some of
our oldest inhabitants can remember.

I. a time, a’Way back in’the early ages

of this great country when that
which was the producers’ loss was
the Consumer’s gain; these old fei-
lows can remember when a decline
of- $13 per cwt. in the price of live‘
hogs meant that fresh pork from
the block would be a’ trifle cheaper.
Evidently, these good old days have
gone never to return. When; asked
recently concerning the prospect of
cut in theories of meat to the con-
sumer, a representative of the pack-
inghouse interests stated that be-

»:ca-uis‘e'of the low prices at which all

kinds of offal and by-products are
selling there was very little prospect
of a cut in retail meat prices. With-
out doubt, many readers of the in»
teresting interview referred to above,

would have been better satisﬁed had

the gentleman gone a little more
into detail and speciﬁed what partic-
ular by-produc-t is developed, when
bag is slaughtered, the fluctuation in
the price of which, neutralizes a sav-
inglof $13 per cwt. in the cost of
the live animal. - .

Recent record-breaking declines,
in the selling prices for all kinds of
meat-bearing animals, has been the
direct result of excessive arrivals in
all departments of the trade: under
normal bﬁ'siness conditions these re-
ceipts.w0uld not have been consid-

' vered excessive for this season of the

year. Under present conditions kill-
ers are operating with extreme cau-
tion and positively refuse to 'buy‘in
large numbers. except at bargain-
counter prices. Recent price reduc-
tions in the cattle'depar-tments of
all markets caused a decline in ar-
rivals in Chicago. on Monday. Nov.

The aitevholiday sheep and lamb
trade in the Chicago market wasa.
sad—i disappointment to shippers who
were looking for higher prices but
instead were obliged, to reckon with
a sharp decline.
week, the trade was better and pric—
es were sharply higher. There is no

> change in the wool situation and the

accumulation of frozen lamb, in the
coolers oi? the country waiting tor the
advent of cold weather to be unload-
ed, hangs like a cloud over the mar-
ket for dressed mutton and lamb.
Nearly 50 million pounds of fr0zen
mutton and lamb is now on hand and
there is still much more to come. A
year ago, the supply was called nor-
mal at less than 8 million pounds.

The break in hog prices. er‘ich
was staged early Thanksgiving week,
caused shippers to lose a tremendous
amount of money and it is a good
bet that they went back home de-
termined to buy them lowvenough,
for once, or let them alone; the
country is not disposed to sell hogs

'for less than $10 per-cwt. and the

result is that shippers could not buy
them and this week’s supplies bid
fair to be light. The close in Chi-
cago en Saturday was at greatly im-
proved values over those that had
prevailed earlier in the week and
the trade seemed to be looking for
a reaction toward, higher price levels.

The current stock of lard in the
provision storehouses of the coun-
tryis less than one-half what it was
one month ago, a fact that places the
fat hog market in a better position
technically, than it has been for many
months. The average price paid for
hogs in the Chicago market 'on Satur-
day, Nov. 28 was $9.97; on the cor-
responding day, one year ago. $13.70.
The total receipt of hogs last week
the country over was 620,000: for
the same day last year, the number
was 572,000.

The- Detroit cattle market has
been on the rocks for more than a
fortnight and the first signs of an
improvement came to hand on Mon-

day-jar this week when a smau run

caused. the situation’to clear up a

I have re used to do .hny thing until next
April. 'Then I plan 0 redeem. Can
they charge the interest for this year
Since they have foreclosed? If I redeem.
in April 1921 also won’t they have to pay
1920 taxes.—B. I. H., Honor, Mich, ,

 

Upon redemption from foreclosure
you must pay interest upon the
amount of the bid at the rate pro-
vided in the mortgage and also pay
the Register Of Deeds his fee or your
redemption will not be accepted. You
must do this before one year from
the date of the sale and interest will
be charged from the day of sales to
the date of redemption. You will
have to pay all taxes that have ac-
cumulated on the farm or you will
lose it on tax sale. The mortgage is
only security for the note given. In
the mortgage you agreed to pay the
expenses of foreclosure. Probably

gagee could pay the taxes and charge
it up to you but he did not have to

 

 

pay them. He is to get back the
amount of money loaned with inter—
est and expenses of foreclosure. As
you have not been deprived of pos-
session and you are to pay taxes as
you have always paid—W. E. Brown,

FERTILIZING BERRY PATCH

of berries in the spring. We would like

to know if you would advise sowing
lime on ground this fall, then fertilizer
in the spring before setting out plants?
There has already been ninety loads of
manure spread on the . ground before
plowing. We also thought of working
in phosphorus in the spring. Maybe you
can suggest some better methods—C. B.
M., Montcalm County, Mich.

The value of the liming, of this
patch would depend largely upon
the kind of berries that the grower
desires to cultivate and the present
condition of the soil. r

Strawberries prefer a somewhat
acid soil and therefore lime should
not be applied previous to the setting
of a strawberry bed. The other bush
fruits such as raspberries and black-
berries do not seem to be materially
influenced by the degree of acidity
of the soil, unless the acid condition
of the Soil is very great. Liming
would only be a beneﬁt therefore for
the bush fruits in case the soil was
extremely acid. In case lime is used
it is better to apply it in the fall in-
sofar as it has a greater length of
time in which to work in the soil
and neutralize the acid condition.

Many of our soils are quite apt to
be deﬁcient in phosphorus. Stable
manure contains a relatively small
percentage of phosphorus, hence
supplementing stable manure with

 

acid phosphate or some other read-
ily available form of phosphorus is
frequently desirable, using from 300
to 500 lbs. per acre. This tends to
provide a well balanced fertilizer for
the soil.——0. P. Halligan, Professor
of Horticulture, M. A. (7.

MOTOR 00. NOT LICENSED TO
SELL IN MICHIGAN .

I wish a little advice or information
and as I note others appeal to you in
similar cases I am doing likewise. About
3 years ago I bought a few shares in the
Marbohm Motors 00., of Sandusky, Ohio.
In July of this year a dividend was de-
clared, payable IquarterlY. so it was stat-
ed, In August a salesman came around
and represented the stock to be ,worth
$20 per share, (I had paid $10 per share)
I bought 22 more shares at this price, or
at least I agreed to pay in installments.
I have paid as agreed until now I owe
only $10. Several weeks ago I got an
Offer of more shares at $6 per share. I
wrote to the .Co. asking why, if the
shares could be sold at this price, they
were represented to me to be worth $20
per share, but I received no answer to
my letter. Since then this Co, that of-
fered me the shares at $6 per, share
wrote me offering to buy my stock at
$4.50 per share. It seems to me the
facts were grOSsly misrepresented to me.
Wouldn’t this be obtaining money under
false pretenses? Do you think there. is
any redress for me? I might have
thought this other Company was trying to
make me thinks the Shares were not 01'
much value so I would sell them cheap,
if the Motors Co. had replied to my let-
ter. There has been no mention of any
dividend to be paid this quarter.——George
Johnston, Monroe County.

 

The Marbohm Motor Company of
Sandusky, Ohio, has not ﬁled appli-
cation with this Commission for the
sale“ of its securities and we have no
information concerning it. If stock
has been sold in Michigan by agents

‘ of this company it has been in viola-

tion of the Michigan Blue Sky Law.
If you will kindly give us the names
and addresses of persons selling this
stock we will refer the matterto an
investigator. ,— Michigan Securities
Commission.

 

UGLY BULL

Iiown 120 acres of land six miles from
any neighbors and haVe some cows and
one bull which pastures and goes where
they choose; in other words they run at
large. But we bring them all home
milking hours. Now there's no one
comes where ,I live excepting fishemnen .
and berry-pickers, This bull is ugly and
if he should harm someone or their
horse while being tiedwould I be compell—
ed to pay the damages? If I p
sign “Ugly Bull"- could they still stop
him from running or collect damages?—~

IE. 13., Onaway, Mich.
“_

One would be bound to restrain an
ugly bull. If one knew by a sign
or otherwise that there was an ugly
bull they would be obliged to exer-
cise caution to avoid injury from
him but they would be entitled to
be lawfully in- that part of their
business trips or errands to hitch
their horse in public places. If in-
jured by the ugly bull allowed to
run at large the owner would he lb
able for the damage—W. E. Brown,

SELLING MORTGAGED PROPERTY

A has a public sale which gave, one
year’s time on good bankable notes.
bearing six per cent. B buys heavil, at
sale, consisting of live stock and arm
tools. B gave to A a chattel mortgage
covering the same and all increase. Does
B have the right to sell pigs and lambs
and conVert the proceeds to his own use,
and does this mortgage have to run the
full year under those circummanceSHbe-
fore A can take action? .

If A sells B a farm and gives deed of
same to B, can B sell gravel from the!
same, which is heavily mortgaged, to A?
A Subscriber, Stockbridge, Mich.

 

If the chattel mortgageis in the
usual form, the sale or attempted
sale of any of the property would
entitle the mortgages to seize the
stuff befOre the mortgage is 'due. If
he sells mortgaged stuff and converts »
the proceeds t’o-his own use then no.
violates the statute against selling
chattel mortgaged stuff ~and may be
-arrested underthat' statute. B would
have a right to sell gravel from the
farm 'if it does not endanger the

. 'I 'waged my campaign strictly on
my legislative record, which record
must have been too good- or too
bad, for I was defeated. ' However,
I did attract, I believe, a majority
of state w'ide educators, a loyal sup-
port from my brother farmers, and
reasonﬁhle consideration from large
business interests. I ﬁnd I did not

attract the sporting classes, the mova

ing picture men, the gamblers and
booze favorites, hor did I get their
influence only in deep lines of op-

» position.

And even though I did oppose the
”Open Sunday Bill,” and defeated
the “Perl Mutual Gambling Bill,”
supported "Censorship of Motion
Pictures," and voted against the
“Boxing Bill," within my knowledge
only one church in the whole state
of Michigan endorsed my candidacy,
although my opponent appeared to
favor the kind of legislation I op-
posed. - ’ '

The Michigan- Motion'P-icture As-

No doubt the picture houses played a
large part in the defeat of Sen. Scully.
The corrupt practice act forbids the. use
of the screen for political advertismg
purposes and it ought to be none the
less allowable for motion picture houses
to extend such assistance voluntarily and
without charge to candidates in exchange
for legislative favors. Such a practice,
if recognized, would give the motion pic-
ture houses a. tremendous whip-hand
over the' legislature. We think Sen.
Scully is overly meticulous about being
a class candidate. An endorsement of
any man by any group of people ought
to be taken as an indication of high re-
spect for the candidate and be an advan-
tage to him in his campaign, I can con-
ceive of no greater tribute to 'a. man's
character or standing than such an open
expression of the peoples’ esteem.———Editor.

Your last week’s editorial, “After

the word Catholic can be used‘in a , ,
number of ways, but I take it the
way it appears in your editorial—it
applies to the people belonging to the
Catholic church. Now Mr. Lord, if
this was the sense in which the word .'
Catholic was used, would you kindly
explain to me what is meant by, a
“Catholic vote?” I have. been :a
Catholic all my life and have never
heard of such a thing before. I am
very certain a good many of your
readers will be as anxians as I to
read an explanation of this “Cath-
olic vote” from you. If ther‘eris
such a thing in existence as a church

The Future of Grain Prices

N IDEAL bear situation has developed
in the grain markets. Farmers have
been heavy sellers of wheat. Canada, attrac-
ted by the high prices, has dumped millions
of bushels into the Chicago market alone. Gen-
eral business depression has discouraged pur-
chase of wheat for future requirements, and
the European trade has been starving along
waiting for still lower declines and an im-
provement in exchange. Altogether a ﬁner
bunch of bear facts could hardly be ”imagined.
What has happened? Simplest and most
natural thing in the world. The bottom has
' dropped out of the market completely in the
most sensational declines that have been wit—
nessed in the grain trade for many a year.
Pro-war levels have been reached. "No other
commodity has lost so much of its war-time

' plethora.

What is to come? Naturally that question
is causing many gnarled ﬁngers to scratch
- their owners’ gray thatch inperplcxity. No
farmer who can aﬁord to hold his grain Wishes
to sell it at below cost of production prices. Nor
docs he desire to hold it over for several months
unleSS there is pretty fair assurance that pric-
es are going higher. He might better take his
loss at present prices than to hold for several
months and then be forced to sell at even low.
or prices. .

Our observation has taught us that in every
movement there is a reaction. This is partic-
ularly true ofxgrain price trends. For ﬁve
years grain prices had been on the upgrade.
It stood to reason that not only would these
prices soon reach a maximum elevation, but
that they would also fall very rapidly. This
has happened. But the descent has car-
ried p11ces too low just as the ascent carried
them too high. So we are due for another re-
action which may temporarily take prices
above a healthy level, but which in turn will
be followed by a fourth reaction that will in-
sure steady and fairly proﬁtable prices on the
balance of the crop. \

Here is the situation in a nutshell. _ The
world’s supply of wheat is easily two hundred
million bushels less than the demand. The
United States and Canada are. the two most
important exporting countries. But the sur-
prising thing is that both of these countries
have already sold their exportabl‘e surplus. In
fact, it looks very much as if Canada has
OVER SOLD her surplus and will be forced,
to come into the American market and buy
back wheat at a much higher price many
V . months before another crop is ready to bar-

vest. In spite of the bad exchange situation:
vast quantities of whoat have been sold for ex-
"port, and even grouse:- qaanhties will 9191; be

The Cost-Mark

IT IS proposed to paso a law requiring man-
ufacturers and wholesalers to stamp their
selling prices on their goods so that the pub-
lic may know how much of a margin the re-
tailer is operating upon. If this is a gmd
law, why conﬁne it to the retailerL Why 1101;
start at the source? Let the coal operator en-
grave his cost- mark on each chunk of coal as
it comes from the mine. Let the lumber baron
do likewise with his lumber, ,"the irOn founder
with his ingot, the steel maker with
his plates and rods, the manufacturer with
each screw, nut, bolt and gear, and so on doWn
the line. Then when we purchase a house or
a machine all we would have to do to ﬁnd out
who proﬁtecred on the deal would be to dis-
sect the thing and examine its various parts.
Quite an idaee, isn‘t it? And then to carry
the reform to its logical conclusion you’d re-
quire the farmer to put his cost mark on his
potatoes, beans, grain and live stock. Imag-
ine a farmer going to town with a nice fat hog,
cost- mark stenciled on his back in purple ink.
He says to the buyer, “This here hog cost me
exactly a hundred dollars to raise. I ﬁgger

my proﬁt at ten per cent, and she’s yours for

$110. ” Then the buyer says, “What dy’ mean,
my friend, Armour’ s only offering $10 a hun-
dred and that animal won’t weigh a pound
over seven hundred.” The scheme would
never work. Mr. Harding is opposed to it
anyway. In a letter to the Michigan Trades-
man he says: “Thc cost-mark proposal to
brand wholesale costs upon manufactured
goods does not appear to be one to Which we
can commit ourselves without a most careful.
study of the necessity, eﬁiciency and justice
of it. ”

Is The Farmer Ever Satisﬁed?

IN 'A questionnaire recently submitted by the
Business Farmer to eight hundred bankers
in the state, the question was asked, “Are the
majority of farmers satisﬁed with present
prices on farm commodities.” Only four ans-
wer, “.’yes The rest say “no.’ A few re-
mark, “Did you ever know a farmer to be sat-
isﬁed with p1 mes?”

To be perfectly frank I never did. But do
I blame him? No. Put your banker or any
other business man in the «farmer’s shoes and
would he be satisﬁed? He would shortly dis—
cover that the business of running a farm is
a constant cycle of uncertainty from one sca-
Money invested in bank
stock or almost any successful industrial en-
terprise is reasonably certain of returning a
uniform dividend year in and year out. Few
things can happen to upset this expectation of
certain proﬁts. But not so with the farming
business. When the seed is planted in the
spring the farmer is in utter darkness as to
what price; This matured crap may command in

State (Appropriation Q

1111 LEGISLATURE Which will'convone "

in Lansing on J anual'y 2nd will have one

of the biggest problems. to grapple with that;

has ever confronted ‘Michigan’ o law-making
body. It will be the problem of meeting the

demands for approliriations that have been ‘
submitted by the various state institutions.‘ ~

Lansing advices tell us that the estimates sub-
mitted to the budget commission are over ﬁve
times‘ as great as in any previous year. A
large part of the total sums requested is for
new buildings, but increased salaries, food and

~ maintenance, set a new high mark in the esti-

mates.

It is a foregone conclusion that the carving
knife will have to be used on some if not all of
these estimates. It is unreasonable to expect

that the taxpayers are going to remodel and

.cxpand the housing facilitia of all the state
[institutions at this particular time when fed-
Proud as we are of our
colleges of learning and desirous as all may be
that they should excel the boot in the land, for
the time being we must sacriﬁce perfection for
necessity. The charitable institutions must
as always receive ﬁrst consideration. Next in
order should come the colleges and the Univer-
sity. But none of them may expect to receive
all they have asked for.

As a further step to meet the mcreasing de-
mands of the institutions the legislature will

. be expected to take a half—or three quarters of

a million dollars out of the “military fund”
and transfer it to the “educational fulld.”

' This may be done by tying it can to the tail of

the State Constabulary and cutting down on
the lace and gold and other trimmings of the
remaining military forces. Military pomp is
a ﬁne thing when you can alford it, but it is
like wearing silks and satins With the cupboard
empty. The savings thus eﬁected added to

the innumerable economies that can be made . .

by rooting out the patronage and parasitical
fungi that have been sucking away at the
State Treasury for the past four years, will go
an appreciable distance in meeting many 0!
the extraordinary but necessary requirements
of our institutions-

He was then a clerk in a retail store at Reed City,
working tron 8 o’clock in the morning until 10
o’clock at night. There was no labor union in
those days to inform him that he was being abus»
ed. He drew down the extravagant sum of $10
per month and was mighty glad to get that much.
Farmers came in from clay to day and assured
him his job was in jeopardy; that withln'a few

if it would make any difference anyway with Mr.

With tremendous stocks of common coarse wool

bad that the public can’t get a decent “all wool"
suit of clothes for a decent price? It a suit costs
$100 when wool is worth nothing per pound what
will our clothing cost when wool goes back up
to normal levels again? After all, the price of
wool has little to do with the selling price of a
suit of clothes that only contains 6 pounds of
woo-l.

’ aREME'MZBERING MY FRIENDS

, THIS CHRISTMAS ‘ ‘

: HERE IS nothing sweeter in the
'world than true friendship; and
as Christmas approaches, the per-
. -fect_ly natural desire springs in every
ignormal 'heart to give our friends
some token of our regard. But most
of us are forced to admit at the
present high prices of everything,

'that‘our oﬁerings cannot be what we

would like to have them.

Of‘course we will provide for our
own families ﬁrst, for the expression
._ of the love we bear those within the
"home cirCle must never be sacriﬁced
or neglected, even to gratify our de-
sire to do for friends and acquaint-
ances
' The woman who aways gave to
outsiders ﬁrst in order to make an
impression of generosity. and opu-
lence, and then who bestowed on
her family what was left over, did
not have'the true Christmas spirit.

The Wise Men upon that ﬁrst
Christmas day brought gifts to the
Babe in the manger that they might
acknowledge his king-ship and ex-
press in this manner the loyal devo-
tion which they were ready to yield

to him. Our gifts commemorate
the greatest gift of all—~the sending
of the Saviour of mankind into a
suffering and needy world, and so
our gifts fall of their purpose if they
do not make home a little sweeter
and home ties a little dearer. And
in our giving to our friends, let us
remember that it is not the amount
or the value of what is given,_ but
the thought that we have remem-
bered them at this time and have
cared, that really counts.

So-if you are not able to walk
into the art shops and to pick out
the treasures which we know would
delight our friends, still we need not
despair. We can give them just
enough to say in tangible form, “I
am glad that you are my friend. I
am thinking of you today and I hope
that you are thinking of me!”

It doesn’t take an expensive gift
to say this or to keep on saying it
throughout the entire year. But we
must not be too proud to do what
we can afford and we. must be
BRAVE ‘ENOUGH to get away'from
the unconscious but all-too-often mo-
tiv-ating'influence of the idea of the
“exchange of gifts.” It isn’t a case
,of giving dollar for dollar, for when
we permit THAT consideration to-
enter, we have dragged the Christ-
mas spirit into the mire of the com—

' 'm'ercial, and it ceases to be the
‘Christmas spirit altogether.
_ To one who truly loves Christ-
, mas, there is much greater joy in
giving than in receiving. And
Christmas becomes rich with mem-
ory Only when we have done what
we could for our own, those whom
we call our friends, and for those
who are truly in need of either cheer
or material gifts although they may
be strangers to us. .

A resourceful little woman who
has the true Christmas spirit, begins
‘ T very early to make her preparatiOns.
She keeps upon her closet shelf a
gaily papered band box decorated in
tiny little festoons of Scotch roses.

“and the monograms I put on at odd
times, The ribbon was all I had to
buy. I know Josie will enjoy hav-
ing them for she will always have a
fresh one at hand.” ‘

Then there was a little Address
Book for another friend, simply made
by taking twenty-ﬁve calling cards of
good quality and punching two holes
in each at the same point. The cards
were tied with red and green rib-
bon to form a little book, and a half
an hour had sufficed to paint a little
holly wreath on the front with the
word “Addresses” inside, and the
monogram of the recipien‘t- -to- be on.

“Edith will like this, " my friend
said, displaying it with pride, “for
she is. the secretary of a club and
she can carry it in her hand bag, and
it will stay open without the leaves
flying up as the ordinary Address
book is so apt to do.”

There was a whole family of hold-

ers, some of them exceedingly prac-

tical and others quite gloriﬁed.

W,h04Cared, “but when you need a

We went through the contents of

plaining to me eagerly ,why she-had
provided that exquisite little, hand=

an'invalid and could not .go about to '

friends who never had any time to

sale- I had seen those same batik-‘-
ets but they had not appealed be-
cause the meshes of the sides were
so wide that spools and thimbles
would go rolling out, but the Christ-
mas spirit had made my .friend’ 15 eyes .
bright.

“Do you know,” she said with
sparkling eyes, “as soon as I saw
those baskets I knew what I could
do with those remnants of lovely old
cretonne and chintz which I have
been waiting to use so long. ”'

And sure enough, each basket had
been lined and little! pockets set in

 

place for lthimbles and wax and reels

of tape. Each‘had been given' the
personal touch either‘ in the colOr-
ings chosen, or in some other way..
One basket had an initial, w-oven in
the side in 'raﬁla; andther had a
needle book with a monogram in
and still another a
bunch of little yell-ow sati-n'roses
tied with a brown handle.

“Muriel is so fond of those roses.
There is a bush of them back home

» by the parlor window, and she says

they always speak to ' her of her,"
mother ,and the happy memories of
her childhood. I knew she would
love them.”

’ “Then there are some sachets for

ber of girls. They were remnants of

very best brade of sachet,” my friend.
went on happily, “so that the frag-

they wish. Each one, you, see, has
been made especially for someone. I
put this little beaded pattern on El-
ma’s because she loves beads so, and
I made Edna’s of blue and gold-—
her class colors.

“Oh, it has been such a pleasure
to work out all of these little things

flat pocket book, that I could, still

gave them:
“They were made out of the

good parts of a linen waist my moth-

handful of the hard. red cinnamon

These candies color the apples a

tender, turning over once. Do not
let them cook to pieces. When apples
are cold ﬁll the centers with Phila-

on your salad plate, then a slice of
canned pineapple, on which put the
apple. Put a tablespoon of salad
dressing over the top of the apple,

$15.06 RETURNED TO MASON
SUBSCRIBER

The 20th of November, 1910, we sent
an order for merchandise to Montgomery,

Ward & Co. The amount of the order
being 315. 06, we sent them a postoﬂlce
order of $12 58 and a check from them
for $2. 48 for foods that they did not have
in stock to ii a previous order. Now
we- are satisfied and further know
that they received the order because
with the order of Nov. 20 we put in a slip
with the order saying that we obtained
but one- half the number of articles in
one item. About thcpe days from the
time that we sen our order, Nov 20, we
received the rest of the articles sent for
in the previous order. We had written
them two different times in re ard to the
order but never one word rom them.

Each time we sent the inquiry in a re- ‘

turn envelope so surely they must have
gotten them. Of coures the order was
sent about holiday time but even then
should it have been lost at the oﬂice or
in transit seems like they might have at
lea-st recognized receipt of same. It was
a great disappointment to us in that our
Xmas shopping was with the orders—

This complaint was referred to
Montgomery Ward & Company by
us in an early mall. They replied
and asked us to secure a list of
merchandise that our subscriber had
found missing which we did and sent
to them. They forwarded the
amouf due Mr. B to "him a few days
later.

1‘ For the 1921 season there are al-
ready many applications vfor stallions
to be bred under the army’s
scheme, received from a number of
very reliable persons. From 100 to
150 stallions can be placed to great
advantage for next year. For this
the army is very anxious to gain the
co-operation of farmers and stock-
men generally, and to this end will
establish governmental breeding
centers in such localities as condi—

. tions warrant. The army require—
’ ,ments are three-fold: , .

First: These breeding centers
must be located in places where there
are a sufﬁcient number of suitable
mares for raising riding horses
which may be used as a source or
cavalry and artillery mounts.'These
mares must be active and well—built
and should range between 1,000 and
1,250 pounds in weight.

Second: Farmers, horse owners
and stockmen of the locality must in-
dicate a desire to breed light horses,
because'the stallions are not intend-
ed to‘ serve heavy draft mares.

Third: For making any locality an
army breeding center there should
be general interest in horse raising
throughout the community, not only
(9111qu horsemen alone, but the farm-

’ ers generally.

In all the centers established, and
those to be established, the War De-
partment insists :that there be local

The growers now sold their .hay di-

ﬁgure. Each grower kept the head-

of hay he had on hand ready to
move. Wagons and buyers coming
into the valley were directed to the

The new arrangement was aocept- .
ed rather resentfully at ﬁrst by some
that there was a uniform price and ,
of the buyers, but when they found
that no amount of “haggling" would
change matters, they suddenly dis- -
covered that the new plan was a
mighly satisfactory one after all.
Instead of having to drive from

supply of hay and assure themselv-

learned who had alfalfa ready and
drove direct to their destination,

The association bought a couple of.

supply of loose hay was greater than »

and stored in the warehouse and
sold the following Winter at a good

The association hgld meetings

their former competitors were not
such bad fellows after all They now
had a common interest. Committees
were ‘sent to other districts to study

Chicago live stock market reports,
while they indicate an active demand
for feeding cattle also 'show that
this demand comes far short of car—
ing for the tremendous supply of this
kind of cattle that are ﬁnding their
way to Chicago, these days. The
quality of the cattle on offer in this‘
department is said to be better than
for many years and the prices just
about one half the selling price of
the best fat cattle.

Ofﬁcial'reperts made public recent-
ly by «the Chicago 'Union Stock Yard
& Transit Company show that during
the week ending Nov. 20 there were ‘
received on the Chicago market 111,-
966 head of cattle in 4,500 cars,
breaking all previous records of cat-
tle receipts for one week, and that
these, cat-tie, together with 15,281
calves, brought $10,197,000 in cash
which was paid to their owners on

Blame ,for' the present slump in ._

prices for farm products was laid at
the door. of a well organized con-
sp-iracy on the part of grain gamb-
lers and some of the captains of ﬁn-
ance by-O." G. Smith of Nebraska,
president of, the Farmers' National
Congress in his annual address at
the opening session of that body’s
annual convention: at Columbus, 0.;
.Nov. 16. Mr. Smith eirpressed the
hope that “this congress of the Unit-
ed State wili endorse farmers ~ in
their refusal to sell their products at
agioss.” ' . -

Smith urged pass-age by congress
of the French bill, requiring labeling
of woolen goods as to virgin wool_
content, and the Kenyon bill to con-
trol meat packers. .
