MT. CLEMENS SATURDAY, DECEQER 17,1921

 

 

. + RESIDENT HARDING rendered the

, American farmer a distinct serViee
When he appeared before Congress last
week and bluntly told them that the farmer
had suﬁered most from the burdens of re-

would give him partial relief.

“Something more than tariff protection
is required by the American tanner, ” said
the Pasadena “Thei'e is acthal; depres-
sion in our agricultural industry, While ag‘
ricultural prosperity is absolutely essen-
tial to the general prosperity of th?
country.”

Very, very slowly the people of the
United States have arrived at a true ap-.
preci'ation of the condition of the farmer
and its eﬁect upon all business. But for
the President of the United States to em-
phasize‘ this condition m a public address
must certainly result in a keener realiza-
-tion of the situation and the speedy adop-
tion ot‘ measures of rte-lief ‘

subject the President said:

. "Congress has sought vex? earnestly to pro—

"Thole is the appeal for this experiment.

ers' pay for his product, no one can dispute

of a production sufficient to meet our national

“The base of the pyramid of civilization
Which rests upon the soil is shrinking through
the drift of population from farm to city. For
a generation we have been expressing more or
less concern about this tendency. Economists
have warned and state'sment have deplored.
We thought for a time that modern conven-
iences and the more intimate contact would
halt- the movement, but it has gone steadily
on. Perhaps only grim necessity will correct
it, but we ought to find a less drastic remedy.”

Wants Flexible Tariff

against the adoption of a tariff which
would shut out all imports. Acknowledg-

posed ﬂexibility authorizing increases to
meet conditions so likely to change, there
should also be provision for decreases. A.

proportion six months from today. If our
tariffs are to be made equitable, and not
necessarily burden our imports and hinder
our trade abroad, frequent adjustments
must be necessary for years to come”.

Other Recommendations

Other outstanding points in the
dent’s address are:

Recommended Congress consider amending
Constitution to prevent further issues of non-
taxable securities.

Dissatisfaction with recent tax bill is ex—
pressed and intention of submitting future
recommendations for further tax revision an-
nounced

Denunciation of commercial treaties order-
ed under the Jones Shipping Act would bring
chaos in trade relationships.

Presidential authority for ﬁxing variable
tariﬁ' duties with assistance of United States
Tariff Commission requested. ‘

Prompt passage of foreign debt refunding
bill urged. ,

“Unreservedly, I recommend the appropri-
ation necessary to supply the American Re—
lief Administration (in Russia) with 10,000,-
000 bushels of corn and 1,000,000 bushels of
seed“ grains. "

Of the Arms Conference Harding said: . “A
most gratifying world accomplishment is not
improbable.”

fundamental and necessary as the right of
capital to organize.”

OROI’ YIELDS POOR IN GREAT
BRITAIN

BEAT BarrAm's grain crop for .

1921, from present appear-

ances, seems to be the worst
for many years. The wheat crop is
the only one of which it is possible
to speak with satisfaction. Of oth-
er crops. barley, which usually aver-
ages 32 bushels to the acre, is ex-

pected to fall considerably below that .

figure. The oat crop will be very
poor. The hay crop is said» to be
ridiculously low, although. where
harvested the quality is good. Yields
of 11 to 20 hundredweight are ex-
pected against 40 hundredweight
.(Ireland and 26 hundredweight
Potatoes
are a varied crop as regards yield
and some farmers have obtained no
greater weight ”than the seed they
planted. The crap must be describ-
ed as a bad one on the whole. The
root, crop is stated to be the least
successful of all. Against yields of
40 to 60 tons of mangolds to the
acre ingood years, the highest yield
so far reported is 29 tons (South
Wales) which is nine tons more than
the average of that district, bu 'in

most canes mangolds have yieded '

from practically nothing to 20 tons
per acre. In consequence of crop
failures, considerable decrease] in

farm wages is expected. In the south

farmers declare their inability to'

pay more than 80 shillings a week;
those in the west 35 shillings a
week; and in the north, 40 shillings.

portable surplus, we find that more wheat has
actually been exported than ever before ”

Responsibility for the bearing of the mark-
et with false statistics and stories is laid at
the door of the grain" exchange and those who
specul to on the market.

"On November 3rd,” said Mr. Gustafson, “when
wheat sold at 99 cents a bushel in the Chicago
market—the first time in five years that wheat
fell below the dollar mark—the price was driven
down during a hectic day of wild trading. James
A. Patten, grain king, stood on the side lines in
the Chicago Board of Trade. A newspa-
per reporter interviewed him. “Wheat won’t
stop at a dollar,’ Patten said. ‘It will go down
much further. There isn’t any consumptive de-
mand to bolster up the market—nothing to hold
up the price. European credit is shot—so poor
.that we cannot look for an export demand to
hold up the market!’

"That Is the statement that has been repeated
again and again by the market makers, copies in
grain trade journals and market reports.

“Grain exchanges held up the same bugaboo
of decreased exports after July, 1920, and of-
fared it as an excuse of rapidly declining prices
of grain during the harvest period of that year.

When the year was done the official
government figures show that a total of 307,394,-
000 bushels of wheat and wheat flour were ex-
ported in 1920, as compared to the average ex-
ports of 227,998,600 bushels of wheat and wheat

flour for“ the five war. years of 1915-1919 in- '*

elusive. If the ratio of 1921 exports are contin-
ued to the close ‘of therear, the total exports of
wheat and wheat flour will exceed 350,000,000
bushels."

Gustafson charges that the present market
is a “one-man market” inﬂuenced to a large
extent by an operator who, “in addition to be-
ing a buyer, is also an elevator warehouse-
man, a shipper, a manufacturer of grain food

passed between a man on the "inside" of the .
market and a prominent grain dealer:

“There was no reason except the ‘smashin‘.
process’ to break the December option in m '
cago in two weeks from $2. 75 to $2.06 became I‘
all the while, every day, more wheat was being
sold to Europe than was being bought from the
country. The export sales were limited only a:
prudence on the part of the exporters.”

In view of these alleged facts Mr. Gustaf
son believes that the Federal Trade Commis-
sion should conduct an investigation. g,
lution was introduced in the Senate on ugust
16th to authorize such an investigation, but
‘it got buried in a committee. This rwolution -
provides that

"The Federal Trade Commission be and hereby »
is authorized and directed to investigate, begin- ‘
ning with the harvest of the 1919 grain crop, the.
margins between farm and export prices; the
freight and other costs of handling; the proﬁts
or losses of the principal exporting firms, and
corporations and their subsidiary or allied com-
panics and firms; all the facts concerning mare
ket manipulations, if any, in . connection with
large export transactions or otherwise; the or- ' ,
ganization, ownership, control, interrelationshipO'.
foreign subsidiaries, agencies, or connections of "
the firms engaged in the export of grain, includ-
ing the extent of their control of the facilities
used by them; the organization, methods of op-
eration and agencies, used by foreign buyers of
grain in this country. ”

How Farmers Can Help

I For a. long time we have been curious to
know what “happens in the dark” after pro-
ducts have left the farmers’ hands. Now is
our chance to take a peep. But it will take-
some preswurewto, get the resolution through
congress, so every farmer who wants to see
the “inside” of the grain trade practices is;

man to nee their inﬂuence to secure an im-
mediate vote on Senate Resolution, No. 133. '

War Referendum
'PEAKING at Indianapolis on Sept. 4th,

. 1919, President Wilson said: “If there
had been nine days of dis 'on Germany
would not have gone to War. If. there had

been nine days upon which to bear the opin-
ion of the world, the judgement of mankind
upon the purposes of those governments,
they never would have dared to execute
those purposes”.

In other words,» there would have been no
war if in every nation concerned the people
themselves had been given an opportunity to
express themselves This is the thought
which has ,promptcd Sen. Ladd of North
Dakota to introduce a resolution for the
amending of the Constitution depriving
Congress of the power to declare war except
in case of actual invasion, without the ex-
pressed approval of a majority of the voters.

Sen. Ladd predicts himself that his reso-
lution will not be adopted The congress of
the United States is still a slave to tradition.
The more suggestion of taking away from
them the “privilege” of declaring war is in
the opinion of many congressmen quite too

. impertinent to merit serious consideration.“
3. But what is there so startling or imprac-

bring an end to warfare why should they
blind themselves to the most obvious methods
of doing it? It is safe to say that if the kings
and kaisers presidents and potentstes, states-
-- men, military autocrats and others who do-
Clare war and keep alive the war spirit had to
bare their own breasts to the swords of the
enemy, there would be fewer causes for war
and less actual warfare. It is a magniﬁcent
thing to ﬁght for a principle, but the ap-
praisal of the principle and the zeal to de-
fend it are usually 1n direct proportion to the
sacriﬁce which its defense incurs. And how
strikingly true this is When it comes to war;
The world will never be entirely free of in-
ternational disputes. Every nation .must
needs have its diplorhats to write notes and
arbitrate and peaceably adjust it possible its
diﬁerences with other nations But even the

 

   
     
   
  
   
 
  
 
  
 

passion and when their failure at peaceful ad-
jﬁcﬁcsﬁm leads the nation which they repro-
'sienbto the 'brink of war, it is then cm for

nme for dolibéraﬁon arid power to co.-

  

tical about such an idea? If the nations are,

such avenues to conduct them at a loss. .

In this situation we. ﬁnd the most potent
argument for g0vernment ownership of rail
ways, upon the each for all and all for each
theory of popular government. 3 govern-
ment, being of and for. the people could not
discriminate against. one section of the
country in favor of another merely because
the roads lost money in one and made money
in the other. The principle is eractly the
some which is recognized in the universal
service of the postal department, of post
roads, schools, etc. 'Money that is expended
by the government in the building and main-
tenance of harbors is of direct beneﬁt to only
a comparatively few, but the cost is borne
by the entire country. Why should not this

HIS 18 one of scores of letters we have

received in recent months concerning
the stock of bond and mortgage companies
\Ve have gone to great pains to inveSiugate
these concerns, ——the standing of the promot;
ers, the nature of business carried on, the
prospects for proﬁt- -earning etc. In the ma-
jority of cases we ﬁnd that these companies
are backed by men of high standing in the
state and community ,
of the business is the purchase of land
contracts, the underwriting of construction
projects, and other similar objects which
the banks are unable to ﬁnance either be-
cause of lack of funds or the inhibition of
the banking laws The only question about
these ﬁrms which should receive particular
scrutiny is their ability to earn the dividends

promised in the sale of their stocks.

In the first place; there is a considerable
risk involved in the kind of business tran-

ﬁnd it more difﬁcult to earn their contemplat-

professor of economics at Ann Arbor, who
replies as follows:'

."Your a lysis of the situation of the bond

thoroughly sound. These, companies have been
able to do a large business and make conﬁde!-
able proﬁts during the, past few years, but I agree
with you that with the falling interest rates and
the easier money market the ﬁeld of these com-

Another Good Man Gone Wrong

ILLIAM BOUCK, former master of the
Washington State ,Grrauge, has been ex-
pelled from the National Grange. A review
of the evidence 3110st that this action was
necessary in order to uphold the dignity and
jurisdiction of tho Natiosiﬂ Grange.
. When we ﬁrst learned of the famous Bench
case we were igclined to sympathme with
Bouck. He is a man of strong convictions
and a ﬁghter. He rebelled against the die,
turns of the National Grange on grounds
which we thought were well taken. But like;
manysnothergoodman he: lost his head.
Following his removal from the Washington
State Grange, he, with the aid of some sym— 7
patlfmers, effected an entirely separate organ.-
motion which sought to armada and dis-
place the regularly constituted State Grange

a challenge. Besides, Oochak look—

a fight. 80 he pulled back his lips

This was‘too much for Miki

sion was that he had tackled a dozen
Oochaks instead of one. Beyond
that first impression his mind did
not work, nor did his eyes visualize.
He was whipped as he would never
be whipped again in his life. He
was cut and bruised and bitten; he
was strangled and stabbed; he was
so utterly mauled that for a space
after Oochak had gone he continued
to rake the air with his paws, un-
consclous of the fact that the affair
was over. When he opened his eyes

Ii'noticed in a recentaissue of your pa.-

returns as promised by the government

on 1918 Wool that we were forced to sell ‘

at their price. Am enclosing a receipt

as early as possible as I wanted to help
in any. way that I could. No matter how
small, and trusted that I would get

ing of the unsuccessful efforts of others

I never tried to get it, thinking that i.‘ .

On the same date that this wool was
sold I sold about twice as Iﬁuch to Kal-
amazoo Hide and Fur Co Have lost their

from them now. Would it do any good?
The wool that this notation covers was
sold to Appledorn Hide and Fur 00.

If you think anything can be done with

it would do any good I will get receipt

If you sold your wool at the price

tainly en itled to share in the prof-
its which were m‘ade upon it. . I
would suggest that you and all oth-
er farmers who sold wool in 1,918 at
,the government price send a detail-
ed statement of the sale, including
date of sale, name and address of
purchaser. amount and grade sold,
and price received, to the Wool Di-

_RATIONS FOR DAIRY Cow

Please advise me through your paper
of the best rations for a dairy cow where
there is no silo but plenty of corn fod-
der, clover hay, oats and corn. My
brother would like to know the ration
where there is a silo. ,He also has the
same feeds I have with the exception of
the clover hay.~—E. C., Marcellus, Mich.

I would oﬂfer the following as a
ration for one who has no silogbut
has clover hay, oats and corn. You
also wish to have .a ration where
there is a silo but no clover hay. The
principal difference in a. ration; with
silage fed as compared to one where
silage is not fed 19 that where silage
is fed there will be a. less amount of
hay needed. Silage saves on the
roughage and in addition offers a
succulent food which is of benefit
to the cow and aids in her digestion.

., Without ”Silage .

Give thezcow all the clover hay
she wants night and morning. Let
her pick over “what corn fodder she
wants to during ~..t,he day. For a
grain mixture I would recommend
the ‘following: 4 parts ground corn;
4 parts ground cats; 1 part linseed
or cottonseed, meal." Feed one pound
of this mixture for each four pounds
of milk produced per day.~—-—O. E.
Reed, Professdr of Dairy Husband-

PROFITS ON FARM BUREAU
" BLANKETS

Some of our neighbors have received .
money lately for their 1918 wool Can
you tell me how to get ours and who pays
it? We sold 343 pounds in 1918.111 1990
we shipped to the Farm Bureau at Lans-‘
mg 295 pounds of wool. A short time ago
«We received the last of our money for it, .
which made us $36. 56. The Farm Bureau
made a lot of that Wool up in blankets
and cloth, didn't they make any money
in doing this? If they did who got it,
surely we didn’ t. We take several farm
papers but find the M. B F. best of 9.11.
——D. B. W son, Clifford Mich

Regarding the profits of the Farm
Bureau .on wool products, M1. .1113. 1
N McBride of the Wool Department
writes as follows: ,

There has approximately $15, 000
accruing to tb wool pool in the manu-
facture of wool into blankets. fabrics, etc.

The amount accruing frdm the season
of 1920 was apportioned in the settlement
The amount that is 011 band and in pro-
cess of accumulation is the property of
the wool pool and will be so distributed

A considerable portidn of the profit .
goes directly to the wool pool in the high-
er price charged and credited to the wool '
grower when it goes into manufacture.
For example, we can use a grade of wool
in horSe blankets that is prac lly un-.
saleable This Wool is strong (1 is ad—

; mirebly adopted to these purposes, but

has been stained and is coarse. It would
be worth but a. few cents per pound oth-
erwise. 0

In this way, the profits to the Wool
pool are very much larger indirectly than
otherwise .—James N McBride. ’

U ‘ ' ’ ting out' the middleman, etc., but

I .

as 1 yet ‘no :one seems~to offer any— ‘

,thin'g ; better.

Now. I Would like to know‘what a ;
dollar ever did to create another (101-,

lar. «We Will say I buy a farm, pay
$19,000 down, borrow $10,000 more

Now .why ’can’t‘the'government at- "

tend to all .thiscirculation of money
instead of allowingx high .finance
bankers, bonding and. trust compan-
ies to do it? Let the government
attend to all this through the post
offices of our nation, at or near cost
and no grafting allowed. As it is
our great nation is getting into debt
so fast that the'debt has been
doubling about every 12 to. 15 years

the debt the American people are

today trying to carry exceed 200 bil- ,

lion, ’dollars. How many more
doubles do yOu think we can carry?

Capital has opened up every av-
enue of investment the human mind
can conceive of and are still figuring.
Understand, I believe any rate of
interest is too high if the debt gets
large enough. When it costs our
108 ,million people\12 to 15 billion
dollars a year .to circulate less than
6 billion dollars there surely is
something wrong. My remedy would
be to let the government take over
these securities and take care of
them and give the people a chance

to pay them and perhaps after’ a,

few generations we might be free
from debt.—-—Wm.~R. Smalley, Wex—

Honestly, I can’t think of a single ob-
jection to your scheme, only We all know
that it can never, never be adopted. Not
only would the great money-lending
agencies you speak of spend their last
dollar to prevent such a destruction of
business, but you would, also encounter

ors who have money drawing interest

WAR FINANCE CORPORATION
ITH REFERENCE to the agri-
cultural billion dollar appro-
priation do you think the farm-

ers of this country can afford a prop-
osition of this nature; with all it in-

curs in the way of taxable expense.»

Government aid always means taxes.
Appropriations for the agricultural,

- ports and Whose duty it would be to

 

‘ an‘sihltimatelmthﬂat the
manufacturers and business inter-
ests will line up for their share at
.the government table. " ' .

Give the farmer a square deal in
the way of decent prices for the pro-
ducts ofl-his inVestment in“ land, time
and labor. Give "him a square deal
.on the buying end as well. And
he'll need no paternal support from
the government. . ,. ,

Let the Farm Bureau, the. Nation-
al Grain Growers’ Association and
'all the kindred interests instituted
by farmers stand as One unit na-
tion—wide. Then and not‘until then,
will the farmer realize on his cher-
ished hopes and dreams. As Teddy
Roosevelt once said, “This w1ll not
be a good country for any of us to
live in, unless it’s a good. country
.for all of 115.” And in this connec-
tion the prosperity of the farmer
means good times for all. And the
sooner the profiteering interests in
this country read the hand writing
on the wall, the sooner they’ll hast-
en the day—Harvey Power, Neway-
go County, Mich.

There is no appropriation involved in
the War Finance Corporation Law. Con-
gress has simply set aside a sum of
money to be used as a revolving fund,
which will be loaned to farmers at legal
rates of interest. Instead of costing the
government anything, the law ought to
yield a profit, for theintercst charged by
the government is higher than the inter-‘
est which the government pays upon its
own Obligations. In this case the gov-
ernment gets part of the profit which
would otherwise go to banks, Banks
pay four per cent interest on savings ac—
counts which they loan at seven. But
for the funds of the War Finance Corpor-
ation the banks must pay five per cent
interest.‘ We would have no objection
to the government lending its credit in
this manner upon ample security, to any
kind of business which cannot be satis-
factorily taken care of through the reg-
ular banking channels. The mere fact
that agriculture should be in a position
where it requires such a huge sum of
money to finance it until another croD is
an indictment of the miscrly returns
,which farmersget for their labor. The
various farm agencies, working together,
as you suggest, will some day find the
stolution to the present inequalities.—Ed-

The Citizens‘ Mutual Automobile ’

Insurance Company of Howell, Mich-

igan. is now ﬁnishing its seventh

season of success and has paid out
a total of $948,061.05 for claims. In
addition to this amount of payment,
the cenpony has paid adjusting ex-

'm and attorney fees for adjust-

in; over 7,000 claims. The company
has been run on a conservative basis

mid has added to the surplus each

year. The officers. agents and ad-

Justers have had the experience to .

qualify them in assisting the policy
holder when he suﬂers a loss.

The Company is well known to the
automobile theft department in De-
troit, Toledo, Chicago, Milwaukee, St.

. Innis, Indianapolis, Columbus, Bui-

falo, Goveland, etc., and in case of

' the recovery of a Michigan car in any
, of those places is promptly notified.

In case of an accident in which the
policy holder becomes liable for set-
lons personal injury or death, the
officers and adjusters have had sat-
ﬂclo'nt experience to handle the
claim. On the other hand, the pub-
m*mlme that in case they have a
just claim that is properly brought
to the attention of the company that

{ they can obtain prompt service with-

out litigation or expense. In fact,
automobile losses, as a rule, are com-
plicated. The automobile owner
should therefore select a company
with experience, equipment and

-‘ strength to take care of losses.

   
 

 
 

 

Many of the leading men of the
state, including judges, lawyers,

_ bankers, business men and farmers.

are among our policy holders. In
fact, the company had the first pick

It is the object of the company to
give reasonable rates and at the
same time to create a sufficient sur-
plus to meet requirements. If you

Santa, just a little bit of evergreen
and a sprig of mistletoe. Place this
in the center-ct your table and after
dinner is all over lift oil the pudding
and underneath ﬁnd a plum for
each member of your family. It is
easy to pick up a little favor for
each one, a tiny 'box of mints for
grandmother, a little desk calendar,
a pencil for the boy who loves to
draw, a rubber dolly, a good cigar,
a package of life-savers. These are
just hints". Many other things will'
suggest themselves. Much tun will
be had and the whole aﬁair should
be kept a surprise. The little pack-
ages should all be done up in gay tis—
sue paper, gold cord and ribbons.

These puddings are sold in the
city stores and bring a big price. You
can make one just as pretty at a
very trifling cost.

One may take the top of an ever—
green and make a tiny Christmas
tree for the center of the table, hav-
ing little packages on it, but it lacks
the element of surprise that the
other holds. Both should be trim-
med to be very pretty and artistic.

When you want to remove the old
putty from a window .sash heat an
iron red hot and hold it on the
putty and it will soften and come out
a great deal easier.

This fall I made a tick for my lit-

with corn husks cut into shreds with
a table fork.

It is coming time of the year when

the farmers will butcher stock and -

put away their meat for next year.
Last year in January we butchered
a hog that weighed about four hun-

half gallon fruit jars and we have

farmers are feeling rather sore ever
the losses sustained as a result of
the rapid decline ofprices.

losses. ‘ Some of our most successful
farmers have gone down to ruin as
a result of the low prices received
for crops or stock that cost more
than they got for them, but the
greater portion are holding onto
their homes.

I noticed that calicoes and per-
caies that had polka dots or figures.
always wore out first; holes came
where those spots were. I bought

~ plain calico and found that it wore

nearly twice as long as the figured
goods and looks just as good; plain
navy blue is my favorite color.

will bring it to a close, wishing all
a merry Christmas and a Happy

‘A FRIEND OF THE NON-PARTI-
SAN LEAGUE ‘

(Continued from page 7)9

not help to bear the tax burdens.
We are believers in the Farm Bur-
eau and also Non—Partisan League in
North Dakota. They ought not con-
ﬂict with each other as the purpose
of both is to bring relief for farm
conditions—each striving for the
same end. Some readers don’t un-
derstand the League,7 in fact they
can’t be expected to for the inform-
ation they get is through the press
which is controlled by big business
interests that willenot permit them

" to say anything in favor of farm or— , ,

ganization to conflict with their own
interests and encourage the farmers .
to organize.‘ The big business inter-
ests'do so hate to give up some of
their leeching jobs and let agricul—
ture keep some of the money they
so dearly earn by working 16 hours
a day._ And some of the bankers fear
their interests will be hurt while
others could see that if agricultural
interests were helped theirs would
be also.

How I hope some f the good sub-
stantial farm papers like the M. B.
I“. could get FACTS about the Non-
Partisan League and publish them so
the farm people at least could read
them and have time to’ give the mat-
ter a fair~judging before their minds
get filled with pcison \against it
from reading suCh haran ues as was
printed in-the Nov. 12th issue of the
Saturday Evening Post.

If this, interests you enough to
print it youmay do so. When get-
ting subscribers for your paper I
can“ truly say they are' getting their
money's worth. —-—Mrs. Ada M. Ben-
son, Eaton County, Mich.

‘» Where did you get-the idea that taxes
assessed against farm land should bear
some proportion to the productive ca-‘
pacity of the land? Perish the thought!
That's asking too much of Our tax au-
thorities It, doesn’ it matter whether
your land produces enough to pay your
taxes. That's no fault of the state. It's

What's the matter with our women?

Why can't they hold a man a‘fter

dear madam, women do work to git

the men they love. Don’ t ever makp

as long as the honey holds out. No,

' why not enjoy it while he may? His
wife has ceased to care for him an’
more is a woman who cares! He is
once more ﬂattered, is made to feel
that he is a real man again. The seed
is sown, it goes on an' on, the wife
she, gets mad
an' raves at him, this only makes
matters worse, an' sooner or later
the other woman takes complete

‘- possession-——the house is broken up

an' three people at least, more if
‘there happens to be children, are
made unhappy for life Now dear
madam, I have always claimed an’ I
claim now that if a woman can make
herself so attractive that she appeals
to a man more than any or all other
women before marriage, so attractive

' that he marries her an’ leaves all

the rest, then by usin’ the same tac—
[htics after marriage, she can hold
him against the whole world!

A‘ man does not marry a woman
to have a boss! He does net marry
her to have a manager of his busi-
ness. A man marries a woman for
a pal—he wants her to be that first;
next a home maker or as a helper
in that effort and last, to be a moth-
er to their children, his and hers,
joint owuers, partners in everything
and pﬁls in all things.

When the woman ceases to be the
pa] he wants her to be he begins
to lose interest at once.
the children ahead of him he resents
it“, he may not say so but he does
just the same. He wants to be what
he was in the beginning, or What
she made him think he was, a real
he—man, as long as the woman keeps
him thinking that. there is no dang-
er of auy‘sucb thing as unfaithful-
ness. There will never be a thought
of it on the man ’3 part there could
be no reason for such 21 though—
men are human—they like to be
ﬂattered by women, they want their

~ wives to-love an’ pet 'em. A woman
can lead a. man any way she wan-ts to
jest as long as she can keep from
him the fact that he’s bein’ led. No
woman can drive a man to do any
thing—he's not built that way?
Trustin' my dear madam that this
will enlighten you on the subject of
unfaithful men'I'llﬂest say this in

‘ -closin’-—I uphold no man or nonwo-

man who. deliberately goes wrong,
but before I condemn either one ._ I

N ALL branches of business, ex-
cept the retail lines, the country

,

‘dullness which usually rules at this
‘seasoiaof the year. -Dealer's connect-
" : ed with Jobbing and wholesale lines,
being anxious to close the year with
as small. inventories as possible, are
i refraining from making new cem-

‘m'ltments at this time. As usual.
the outstanding feature in the busi-
ness world is the growing activity in
the retail trade, due to the stimulus
of holiday buying. Current weather
"conditions while/ they cannot be said
, to be adverse to the increasing bus-
." {iness activity, would be more favor-
" able if, temperatures were lower and
the ground covered with snow. One
of the striking features of the cur-
rent ,retail trade is the fact that the
bulk of the business seems to be con-
fined to the large department stom
the owners of which are assured of
profits sufficiently large to . justify
the making of liberal advertising
contracts.

The steel and iron trade is de-

, cidedly quiet, Just now, but furnace -

'. ind foundry men are looking for a
.wave of activity early in the 'new
year. The wool market is dull but
_decidedly firm with the assurance
that any change in quotations will
be toward higher price levels. The
goods market is none too, active, just
now but the spindles in New England
textile "mills are said to be running
on an 85 per cent basis. In the east-
ern district, builders are taking ad-
vantage of the continuance of fine
weather to lay foundations and com-
plete jobs some time under way.
The lumber situation is said to be
growing stronger, every day as a di-
rect result of a demand form Japan
which is depleting supplies on the
Pacific coast. An order hasg been
issued, by the Japanese government
forbidding the cutting of timber,
pending the outcome of an investi-
gation concerning the cause and pos-
sibility of prevention of floods in
‘ the.Mikado’s kingdom.
_ Reports from the great agricul-
tural districts of the west indicate
the prevalence of a more optimistic
outlook following the recent cut in
freight rates an agricultural ‘pro-
ducts; the most discouraging feat-

ure, connected with farm operations.

in many of our western states, is the
inability of the farmer to meet ob-
ligations that are coming due.
_ Thousands of mortgages will be
foreclosed, in the west and a long
“list of failures among farmers will
be recorded during the 'winter and
early spring. While there are, with-
out doubt a few of our farmers who
are unable to meet their obligations
this fall it is generally believed that
90 per cent of the farmers of Mich-
igan are solvent and by a system of
careful planning will be able to
weather the storm which will sweep
many of their fellows, in other
'-~states, into bankruptcy.
The stock market has been dull
' .but firm, of late, with all of the div-
, idend-paying specialities '- tending
toward higher levels. The bond mar-
ket is lacking in activity, many is-
sues showing a tendency to sag un-
der a marked decrease in demand;
better things are looked for in this
department, early in the new year

when funds from“ dividend disburse-

= ments become available for lie-invest-

ment. The week’s bank clearings

cents on the leading markets. Rain
in the drought—stricken southwest
was used with good effect to drive
down prices, and a temporary
crease in the visible supply also
helped. The market opened easy
with the current week, but in keep-
ing with the eternal swing of -the
pendulum it is due for another
”come-back” this week. But we
have grown wary of attempting. to
say how far the pendulum will swing
.or how long it will stay "swung".
We have a feeling that the grain
markets will show ’no considerable
activity until some time after the
first of the year. In view of the un-
certain manner in'which the market
has acted the past several months
and in view of the fact that neither
the domestic ﬁnancial situation nor
the exchange rate betWeen/thls
country and prospective buying
countries have shown any material
improvement, we think we are safe
,in assuming that the grains will not
show particular signs of activity im-
mediately upon the beginning of
the new year. Such improvement as
may be expected Will likely not be—
gin to show itself until the spring
months.

good volume, both domestic and ex-

The potato market is acting Just the

way it always acts “just before
Christmas”; and the warm spell of
weather last week didn’t help out
the situation at all. Despite these

unfavorable conditions the market.

strengthened at some points. last

' week, and the colder weather of the

current week may help it along 8
But we don’t expect
anything very encouraging to hap-
pen in this market for the balance
of the year. For it seldom if ever
does. With the'beginnlng of the
new year, colder Weather, exhaus-
tion of city supplies, drop in ship-
ments, we may hope with reason for
better prices. ,

‘ outlook for we'll-finished cattle of ‘_
edlum weight is more enchant-aging.

at this writing, than on as”: proceed-
lug date this year; cattle, carrying
extra killing quality, are far from
plentiful and the prospect is that

, dealers, who must have this kind

will be obliged to pay a higher prem-
turn in the future than at any pre-
ceding date this year. /

The trade in common butchers

rattle continues to drag, simply, be-

cause too many of that kind are com-
tug just at~a time“ when the main de-
mand is for holiday quality. Last
week’s arrivals at Chicago were 5, -
000 head in excess of the week be-
ﬁre; the supply was all cleaned up,
a fact, that was regarded as rather
remarkable considering the absence

The dressed beef trade in eastern
cities was unsettled, all the week,
rising toward the close show-

heifers brought 312 per cwt. in Chi-
cago last week whenever
The top for choice two—year-elds was

The absence of the smaller killers .

ever that of the week before; there
were many sales of choice feeding

cattle that looked 50 cents higher

than the average of recent business.

An active demand for mutton and
lamb in eastern cities caused an ad-
vance in Chicago of 31 per cwt., from
Monday of last week to the close on
Beturday, for fed lambs: the close,

week. before last, was 315.45.1‘he.
tops in fed lambs readily sold for;

MARKETING THE CHRISTMAS,
. POULTRY

THE first place, the grower who

makes a business of breeding and

. preparing animals or poultry for

.market should aim to establish a
reputation for high grade stock; it
may be taken for granted that no
bird or animal, which is intended for
food, will help the reputation of a
breeder or feeder that is marketed
in a poor or half—fat condition. Poul-
try, especially, should be well fat-
toned before it is offered for sale in
either live or dressed form; this is
doubly true a year like this when all
kinds of grain are plentiful and
cheap. Birds that have been well
fattonod, can be made much more
attractive in dressed form than those
tliht are killed without previous
preparation. '

3. Before killingrpoultry for market,
the grower should make some defin-
ite arrangement for the sale _of the
dressed p oduct as it Will be hard to
find anyt ing more perishable, in

nu, sour weather, than dressed

ultry. The purchaser ﬁhould be
consulted concerning dressing meth-
ods as to whether he- prefers them
dry-picked or scalded; with the
the feathers off, only, or full-dressed.
Iu‘the Detroit market, birds got the
preference that are finished by scald-
ing in water just warm enough )te
loosen the feathers but not
enough to blister the skin or to pro-
duce discoloration; poultry is often
made almost unsalahle by over

the general reputation for honesty

of dealers.

It is a well known fact that city "

people have a great liking for coun-
try-dressed poultry when it is de-

' livered, fresh at their homes. Farm-

ers, who raise breeders that are es-
pecially adapted to table use, will

.find it comparatively easy to estab-
lish a fine trade in dressed poultry-

and dairy products with the better
class of city residents. The writer
of this article is not theorizing in
this matter for he furnished a large
circle of city customers, with
articles mentioned above for a per-
iod of more than ten years. It is.
of course, a fact that the general use
of the automobile is modifying the
market problem in many localities
and many poultry, butter an egg
producers are able to
their products right ..at home for as
much as they could get, in a. whole-
sale way, in the city markets.

Growers, who desire to take ad-
vantage of holiday demand for dress-
ed poultry, will. find it to their in-
terest to time their consignments so
that they will arrive'in the market
at least three days before the day
of sale; belated arrivals are quite
often severely . penalized, not so
much by a lack of demand as be—
cause buyers, who WOuld have pur—
chased the stock had it. been on
time, have made other arrange-
ments—H. H. Mack.

GonﬂﬂSSION MERCHANT SENT-
- ENCED TO LEAVENWORTH
OBERT FERGUSON, who oper-
ated as a. commission merchant
in the city of-Detroit under the
name of the Ferguson Commission
Company, and who was indicted
upon complaint brought against

’ him by the Business Farmer on be-

half of a. score or more of its read—
ers who had beef’defrauded by him,
was found guilty before Judge Tut—
tle last week and sentenced to three
years in the federal pcnetentiary" at
Fort Leavenworth. In pronouncing
sentence Judge Tuttle scored Fergu-

' son heavily for having accepted pro—

duce from farmers without paying
for it. . -
“The City business man who wil~

fully swindles, the farmer is a men-'

ace to good relationship between the
farmer and the city consumer,” said
Judge Tuttle.‘ “The farmer as I
know him is a hard working, hon-
est :man who depends on the integ—
rity of the city purchaser, and if this
confidence is abused, the farmer can-
not be blamed for lookingaskance
at the bu'siness people of the city."

The conviction of Ferguson will
probably have a good effect upon
the rest of the commission firms in
the city of Detroit who have been
guilty of like offenses but who have
escaped arrest Detroit commie!
sion business will stand a. house-
cleaning, for it is crooked to the
cone. The Business Farmer wants
every reader who ships to Detroit

commission firms and does not re-

ceive hone: treatment to report the
case.
