passenger train through a Middle Western

State When the train pulled into a small town
 and- nearlyarhundred people boarded it. There
was only a couple of stores and perhaps a dozen
pr ﬁfteen houses. in the town and naturally I
wondered where al'l‘the people‘came from. One
of the men who, got on the train seated himself
beside me and when the train got under motion

I asked-him how it happened that such a large

p number cf passengers originated in such a small

town. " ' '

~ “well.” he replied, "only two or three 051 that
crowd you saw get on at Allendaile lives there.
All the rest of us live in Bradford which is lo-
cated eight miles west 'of Alliendale at 'the end

 

junction point with the main line. All but two
or three or! the passengers you saw get on at
. Allendale live at Bradford. But usually the rail—
road company doesn’t have anything like the pa-
tronage it is receiving today. You’see, we folks

of Bradford are in danger of losing our railroad 

and we have f‘drummed up as big a delegation
as we could to represent as at the hearing down
at the state capitol. The Railroad Commission is
to consider the petition of the railroad company
to abandon the Bradford branch. They claim it
ﬁrm" not have sufﬁcient business to pay for run-
‘ning it. Naturally we of Bradford resent having
our railroad taken away from usin this manner.
It will simply kill the town it they abandon the
branch. Why, think of having to haul all the
coal, lumber, merchandise, building materials——
everything, eight miles over roads none too good!

commision allows the
~a. demon!” '
' “How big is Bradford?" I asked.
.01”; hundred,” he answered. “And
his a good little burg for its sizeytoo."

“i suppose the one railroad company has a
monopoly of the transportation service for the
. toWn?”

‘ “Wé‘ll, no——n0vt exactly. You see there’s a

bus line that passes through our town and, it

gives us" mighty good service to Mount Vernon
and to Cedar Rapids. Most of our people go to
one or‘the other of these cities to do a part of

' their shopping and to transact business which
cannot be handled in a smaller town. The bus
- line makes three trips each way every day and
it runs at convenient hours—4 trip each way in
the morning, One each way about one in the

' . afternoon and one'each way at night; No changes
to'make and the bus makes good time: In fact,
it beats the railroad’s schedule by better than
an hour on account of having to change trains
at Allendale. ‘ A ‘

" I presume the bus gets lthe lion’s share of
the passenger business at Bradford then?”

“Yes.” he admitted, “practically all of it."

. “How about (freight? Any truck lines compet;

ing with the railroad?”

"Yes. We get ﬁrst‘class service daily with
package freight. In fact, almdst anything under
ﬁve tons can he brought out to Bradford ins.

rates generally, but we get the service when we
need it. The railroad has all the long distance

‘WHAT’S THE ANSWER?

SHORT time ago the superintendent

of a Michigan intermban line ap-

peared Before the Business Men's
Ass’n of a Certain city and asked them
bluntly What their policy was to be with
respect to the competition which his line
was suﬂ’ering from several bus lines par-
alleling theinterﬁrban right of way. “Just
as the electric line took ‘ the passenger
1).. sun.) away from the steam line,” he
said, “it begins to look as if the motor
truck was to“ take the bushess from the
inter-urban." On this particular line ‘where
local and lmited cars run every half hour.
the bus lines charging one-half the inter-
urban fare has cut seriously into the busi-
ness of the electric. The accompanying
article deals with the problun in adimited
way. So serious has become this compe-
tition that the next legislature will be
asked to provide legislation regulating the
motor bus lines in much the same way
steam and electric lines“ are now regulat—
ed. The question is, “Is there room for
both the motor truck and the railroad?
Can the public support them both? It not,
which‘one is to go? It is a question ‘in
which farmers should be greatly infer-
outed—Editor.

 

,“We’ve got lawyers with us to handle our side
of it ,-” he explained, “and I’m not sure just how
they will present our side of it. But our argu—
ment is that‘it will kill our town and greatly
injure the prosperity of the farmers for miles
around. It will cause our property to decrease
in value until it is practically worthless and
well," he ﬁnished rather glumly, “the‘town will
just naturally die.” ‘ ‘

“From what you say I judge that the bus and
truck lines While giving considerable needed ser-
vice are not suﬂ‘icient to take care od’ all your
transportation needs?”

“How could they be?" he asked. “How could

the farmers Ship their stock, grain, hay, etc. by
truck? How could we get our coal, lime, lumber,
etc. by truck? Their capacity is not large enough.
Besides it would cost too much to ship this ma-
terial by truck.”
1- "Suppose you had to make a choice—you folks
013-. Bradford—which would you choose if you
could only have one service, the trucks and busses
or the railroad?" '

"Well," he replied. “We could get along with-
out the trucks and basses but we’ve got to have
a railroad." -

He left the train With the rest of the delega-
tion when the train arrived at the state capitol.

Later I‘learned that the railroad company pre-

sented ﬁgures showing that they were losing

nearly $50,000.00 annually by operating the
Bradford'branch—that even allowing the branch

Michigan State Farm Bureau Announces 1922 Wool Pool

outgoing—4110 railroad was still out of pocket 
over a. thousand dollars each month. ‘ p '

The failure of the railroad branches is due
wholly or in part to the competition of bus. and
truck lines, and in some instances to diverted
freight trafﬁc. It is quite true that the bus and
truck lines offer quicker and sometimes cheaper ‘
service than the railroad branches. Furthermore
their service is usually more frequent.

In the‘considenation of the relatve carrying
capacities of the trucks and the railroads it is
interesting to recall the contemplated railroad
strike 01f...‘1a,st fall. Much talk was circulated.
about replacing the railroad service with truck
lines. But consider speciﬁc examples. A modern
hopper gondola on the railroads will haul 140,—
000 pounds of coal—70’ tons. Even if all trucks
had a capacity of 5 tons each it would take'14
of them‘to equal one of these cars in carrying ca-
pacity. The rtrain of 40 of these cars would equal
the carrying capacity of 560 ﬁve-ton trucks. The
train would require ﬁve men to operate it; the
trucks would need 560 men to run them. The
train’s speed would be around twenty to twenty-
ﬁve miles per hour—~the trucks would be lucky
to make ten or ﬁfteen miles per hour.

But 'that the truck and bus lines cut deeply
into the normal revenues earned by the railroads
is evident to anyone who has observed any town
served by both means of transportation. The re—
sult of this competition is seen in the petitions
before railway commissions for the abandonment
of many non—paying branches of «the railroads.
On these branches the business is insufficient to
support both railroad and the bus and truck
lines—so the railroad gives up the ghost.

That the abandonment of the only railroad
serving a town is a calamity for that town and
the surrounding farming country is readily con-
ceded by everyone. Property values decline to a
fraction of the value they possessed when the
town was served by a railroad; people begin to
move away; farmers must haul their produce
miles farther to reach the nearest railroad town;
business decreases to a low level; stagnation sets
in and the town dies.

There is one more angle to the situation. Even
when non-paying branches are operated at a loss;
the" loss must be made up by someone. The
“someone” is ﬂhe patron of the read. When ap-
plications are made for anvincrease in freight or
passenger rates the railroad companies produce
statistics to show how they are tailing behind
on their revenues. In many cases a large portion
of this loss is due to the competition of the bus
and truck lines.

Sooner or later many people must decide which
transportation agent will serve them in those
communities which cannot support both systems . ‘
——-—just as many city-folks are being called upon
to decide whether the “jitneys” or the street car
companies shall furnish them witlf transpoer
tion within the city limits. In many vicinities the
total volume of business will barely be enough to ~57: 

‘support the one agent. The patronage of the peo-
ple decides which transportation system they will 
have. ‘- L >

ACK in thg'little red school house we used ~
: to sing, “there’s music in the air,” little
inkng that it was literally true and that some
V ‘ ay‘a' machine might be made ,which would pick
that music out of the air and make it under-
»standab‘le to our ears. Yet that thing has come
‘ topass. “The air," writes Jas. Herbert Ferris, an
M. B. F. reader, in the Benzieltecord, “is full
of elusive music of Which we are utterly un-
“Conscious.”
’ “Famous singers,” he says, “are singing to
arty‘ou’and to me, the best musicians are playing
"to". us, operas are ﬂoating through the air,
Vprayers, hymns and sermons are around us but
ffwe do not hear them, for our ears are not at-
’.tuned to them." I

y | Mr. Ferris owns a fruit farm near Elberta,
' Benzie county, not far distant from the shores of
of Lake Michigan. He has a high-powered re-
ceiving set with a receiving radius of a thous-
;‘_ and miles or more. The great ice storm laid
to the ground scores of miles of telephone and
' telegraph wires and cut off several counties from
 outside communication for a number of'days, de—
stroying his aerial, but as soon as the worst of
the storm was over he rigged up another from
his poultry house to the top of his wind—mill
and was again in instant touch with the outside
world.

’Referring again to Mr. Ferris’ article he says:

  
 

   

“Do you know that recently in Pittsburgh
lone of the Presbyterian churches that was
without a pastor, held evening services with a

full congregation but without a choir or orga—
nist, yet without'the choir they had beautiful
music. and without a minister prayers and a\ser-
mon. They listened to the services as held in
'the Calvary Episcopal church of Pittsburg while
sitting in their own pews in their own churCh.
On Sunday, February 5th, in VVatertown another
congregation again listened to services from the
same church. Patients in hospitals, invalids at
home, men in their shirt sleeves, farmers and
their families have heard and regularly hear
 these services. Neighbors of Beulah and Ben-
zonia residents listen Sunday nights to these
services as they can not get into Benzonia dur-
ing the winter months to attend church.
. “Some of Beulah and Benzonia’s young’folks
*have listened to music which ﬂoats over the rest
of our heads. Are you one of them? If not why
,miss the wealth of good things that are free to

‘ “The mystery is simple to solve. It is only
radio-telephony. ' l /'
“In Pittsburgh Chicago and Newark, N. J.,
there are Radio-telephone studios being operated
by and thru one of our largest electric manu—
_ facturing companies, the Westinghouse Electric

1‘  most of the last quarter century she has
ranked no lower than second among our potato
roduciug states. Statistics of production show
i-h’ov'Vever, that her average yield during this
period was approximately 90 bushels per acre,
"bout half that of some of the leading eastern
potato growing states. Her position is due to a
iarge acreage rather than to a high acre yield.
vMichigan produced potatoes cheaply in the
past. Labor was plentiful and cheap. New land,.
.Well adapted to the crop, containing suﬂicient
available plant food to make the average yield
without much effort was constantly brought into

simply to ﬁll out a rotation, some manure, to
,. .which no farm value was attached, being used.
‘ But such conditions have entirely changed.
’Land values have risen,‘labor is scarce and the
available elements of plant food have been large—
ly removed from the soil. Potato growing has
.become a specialized industry and must be
“treated as a business proposition in the system

ANNOUNCING THE M. B. F. RADIO
DEPARTMENT

UR readers have shown so much in-
terest in the articles that have been
published upon the radiophone that

the Business Farmer has decided to ‘be
the ﬁrst farm paper in the United States
to establish' a radiophone department in
which information will be given concern-
ing concerts,~ and questions answered.
Captain Herbert Ferris. of Elberta, Mich..
former assistant professor ‘of Military
Science and Tactics of Princeton Univer-
sity, N. J., has kindly offered to conduct
this department. Send in your ques-
tions. Whatever you want to know about
the science of wireless telegraphy and

tell you.——Editor.

“The writer listened to Gov. Allen of Kansas,
speaking to the Engineering Society of Pittsburg
and yet tho Gov. Allen was nearly a thousand

he was in the same room with me. Have you
heard the Carnegie Stringers? I have, I was
here and they were in Pittsburgh. Have you
heard the Chicago Grand Opera at $5.00 or more
a seat? My daughter and I have, and it cost us
nothing. , '

“While “listening in” for Pittsburgh ,or De—
troit, I heard a wireless telegraph message tell-
ing of stolen autos, and the end of the message
was ‘Stand by, please, for telephone, W. R. ll.’

and then W. R.'R. came in on the telephone and _

stated he was ‘The Fire and Police Protection
Dept. of Dallas. Texéts,’ and again by telephone
he gave out information about stolen autos, and
at the end he said that the usual. music would

was and came back in an hour, but could not get
Dallas again, but along came ‘W. .J. Z.’ at New-
ark, N. J., with a lot of up-to-date dance music,
which we enjoyed ’till near midnight.

“Now why should I hear Dallas, 1200 miles

from here, and miss Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chi--

cago and all within 500 miles of me, and then
get Newark at 1000 miles?

. Factors in Potato Production Which Turn

By W. DQHURD

requires a deep, thoroughly pulverized seed bed,
in order that a large root system, which later
produces tuber growth and yield, may be de—
veloped. There should be plenty of organic mat-
ter in the soil to help the crop through the mid—
summer drought prevalent in this state and
further protection can be secured through fre—
quent cultivation.

Formerly the potato was not badly damaged
by the blights which are now so common. A
large healthy «leaf surface is necessary to trans—
form the material brought up from the soil by
the roots into starch which is so impontant in
the manufacture of the tubers. Potato bugs, ﬂea
beetles, aphis and fungus diseases destroy leaf
tissue, curtail the starchifying processes and re—
duce yields and quality in just so far as their
ravages are allowed to go unchecked. Most, if
not all of the damage can be' prevented by
thorough spraying. '

Michigan growers have been inclined to run

their checkrows toodar apart and have lost out,

in their yields accordingly. ~According to the
Michigan Experiment Station, and to tests made

by individuals in the state, yields will run from ..

30 to 80 per cent‘higherwhen the crop is plant-
ed in rows 3 feet .apart, with the hills from ,16

of grain is thus being eliminated. News ‘whilo
it is news is available to farmers in many isolat-
ed districts. Agricultural leaders deem it 5 great
~,forward stride in. the dissemination of market
information.

The quotations are distributed from the floor
of the Board of Trade through the KYW radio
station of the, Westinghouse Electric & Manu-
facturing company by arrangement with the
Commonwealth Edison Company. Wave length
360 carries the market news throughout" an are:
having a. radius of 500 miles and, taking in the
principal grain producing states. iv ‘

Price quotations on future contracts for wheat.
corn and cats are transmitted on the radio
telephone at the 9:30 opening each business day
and every thirty .xminutes ethereafter until the
close at 1:20 p. 111. Cash grain prices are quoted
at 10:30, 12 noon and at 1:20, and “to arrive”
prices at 1:20. During the morning and early
afternoon market statistics and other ofﬁcial in-
formation is disseminated. The service has
created widest interest and high commendation

President Robert McDougal of the Chicago
Board of Trade, in outlining this broadcasting
of market information declared it “the greatest
forward step in two thousand years.”

It is reasonable to suppose, he said, that the
half hour bulletins giving not only quotations
but fundamental news. of the crop and market
situation throughout the world, will enable the
grain ‘grower to buy or sell as conﬁdently and
almost as quickly as if he were in Chicago. The
country grain elevators will serve as excellent
stations for the reports. ‘

Other leaders in the grain trade pointed out
that at times a day may mean much to the farm-
er in marketing his grain, and that constant in-
formation will be of'great value. The price of
grain is not determined ‘by factors in any one
country, but by conditions of the world. The
radio report, marketing authorities declare, will
equalize the news opportunities between the
farmer and city man. Instructions to farmers
and others receiving the quotations are brief:

“Tune your set to 360 meters."

It is Mr. Ferris’ idea that the maximum value .
from the radiophone can be secured by install-
ing receiving sets in schools, churches, lodges,
etc. Not everyone can yet afford to own a re-
ceiving set, but organizations can do so with lit-
tle expense to the individuals comprising it.
Mr. Ferris believes in rtime, that the radio con-
cert will take the place of the Lyceum course.
upon which so many small towns now depend
for their winter’s entertainment. ‘ -

Losses Into Profits '

right kind of fertilizer really brings the proﬁt.
Since the potato plant is .so highly specialized
and since we expect many times the yield pro-
duced when it was in a wild state, its food re-
quirements should be satisﬁed. " To develop a
good growth of stem and leaf requires nitrogen.
To grow high quaility tubers of good starch con-
tent requires potash. Phosphoric acid is deﬁci-
ent in most Michigan soils and is needed to help
in growing strong plants and to bring the pota-
toes to a certain state of maturity before frost
comes. Acid phosphate, while a. ﬁne source of
phosphorus, is not a balanced potato fertilizer
and will not alone produce the results which can
be secured from a fertilizer which carries the
three necessary elements. To properly feed the
potato crop, and also from the standpoint of
economy, a fertilizer of~high analysis should be
used. Good potato fertilizers contain from 3 per
cent to 6 per cent ammonia, from 8 per cent to
10 per cent phosphoric acid, and from 4 per cent
to 6 per cent potash. .

Of course, we can continue to grow potatoes
without the best seed, without spraying, and
without fertilizer, but yields will continue to be
from 100 to 150 bushels to the acre—not enough
to pay the cost of production in average years.

‘ HEN THE war broke out in August, 1914,
American trade became paralyzed. The
blow was specially severe upon agricul-
ture. The cotton market collapsed entrely.
This upset was due to the [uncertainty of the
ituation. No one knew what the - war would
bring. We did not know whether it would last
six weeks or six months. Everyone vvas agreed
that it had to be a short war. Only time was
able to reveal how long the struggle really would
last. 
After the ﬁrst shock of the catastrophe had
passed conditions improved. At ﬁrst, however,
‘the effects were that certain demands were cut
off and our export markets were closed. We had
a large surplus of many commodities for the do-
mestic market. Trading was unstableand the
future uncertain. It was not long, however; be—
fore the economic effects of the war revealed
themselves. The artiﬁcial.demands created by
the war became factors in the trade of the
entire world. -
European governments went into the markets
of the world and bought things needed for ,the
conduct of the war. This demand for raw ma-
terials, agriculbtural products and manufactured
goods of almost all kinds caused industry ,to pick
up. More labor was employed by factories ‘and
as profits increased and the demand for more
goods developed more labor was needed and
wages naturally went higher. These increased
wages, regular employment and the increased
prices for farm products gave a greater purchas-
ing power to the greater bulk of the Amercan
people. ‘ I

With an increased buying power we competed
in the markets with the European governments.
Prices were gradually forced higher and higher.
When the United States got into the war the
demand for goods by the belligerent governments
increased. This great abnormal demand caused
prices to go higher. Increased demand for
goods and the increased prices causedthe de-‘
mand for labor and r .w materials to greatly

Sod-Rooted" Farm HousescTypical Scene in Remote Regions of Norway

OM Bergen to. Christiania, the capital city
of Norway, is a distance of about 200 miles.
The way lies over picturesque and, snow-capped
mountains, through many tunnels, past placid
lakes and rushing mountain torrents. The av-
enue of travel is over the Bergen railway which
was opened to traﬁic in .1909. The building of
'rthis railroad was no mean engineering feat.
In all it traverses 178 tunnels varying in length
from a score of feet to more than three miles.
Added to the geographical difﬁculties encounter-
ed in the building of the road were great climatic
difﬁculties, for the reader must remember that
this is in a latitude equal to southern Aﬂaska and
that snow covers the entire right of way most of
the year and .part of the way all the year. The
highest point on the line is about a mile above
sea level and much of 'the road is above the tree-
limit. Portions of the road in these high alti-
tudes are protected and in many instances en-
tirely covered by snow—screens to shield the right
of way from the terriﬁc snow—storms which rage
even in the heighth of the summer season.

It was on the’ 20th day of last June that I
took the train at the pretentious station at
Bergen for Christiania. As related some time
ago in-these columns I had come by a little tub
of a'boat across the North sea to this rugged
Norwegian city on my way to Christiania and
Denmark. .The only night I spent in BergemI
put.up at the Norge Hotel, a fairly modern inn,
and had a small] but clean room which cost me
the equivalent of 90 cents in American money.
Fancy getting a room in the leading hotel of an
American city of 50,000 population for such a
triﬂing sum! .

The day I arrived in Bergen I took an electric

' cable car to the top of “Floifjeldet,” a giant
member of a- range or bills w-hich rise sharply
from the rear of the city to a heighth of about
500 feet and stand there like" sentinels to guard"
the city from‘the great snows and‘winds which
roar down from the north in» winter time. The
 sides of these hills are covered with ﬁne. homes

increase. The result was that the income of the
farmer and the laborer increased further. This
increased income gave these two large classes of
our population greater buying power.

The greatest factor which emters into increas-
ed demand and higher prices is buying power.
Events caused this buying power to greatly in-
crease. So we had a great demand for goods
coming from our own p‘opulation coupled with the

' great demand for goods by the governments.
The forces naturally caused prices to increase.
The governments needed goods. It wasn’t a

 question of price. lit was only a question of get-
ting the goods. and in order to get them prices

were offered whch would get them. When a
country is at war it does not quibble about price
no more than a man haggles about the price of
doctor’s services when sickness strikes his home.

With the individual the question is primarily '

recovery. Cost is of secondary importance. To
a country at war the question of primary im-
portance'is that of successful prosecution of the
war. Cost is of secondary consideration.

During the recent war prices were set on cer-
tain commodities and products for the chief pur-
pose of assuring sufﬁcient goods to meet the re-
quirements of the armies. Governments did not
consider at great length Whether the prices were
entirely equitable. Would the prices set bring
forth the goods? That ‘was the main question.
Many mistakes were made in this matter of
prices. Prices were not set in such a way that
equity was always the result. However, those
who were responsible did the best they could in
the emergency and by their actions the results'
which all desired—winning the war—were ob-
tained.

We all are now interested in the effect of all
these events on the prices of farm products.

From the top of “Floifjeldet” one obtains a
perfectly entrancing view of the city of Bergen
and its ﬁord-bound environs. The view is quite
similiar to that which one gets from an aeroplane
with which, most of our readers are undoubted-
ly familiar! Do you remember how when we were
kids we used to play in the sand, and build castles
with turrets, surrounded by moats, rivers' and
lakes? Remember the bridges we built, the roads
'we traced, the fences we erected? How we labored
long and patiently to make ei’ery little detail
ﬁnished with what
pride we would stand and look down upon the
wonderful little fairy city we had constructed. I
still ﬁnd building of mud cities a fascinating oc-
cupation and with two children to amuse I have a
perfectly legitimate excuse for putting in an oc-
casional leisure hour in that fashion. The city
of Bergen and its surroundings as viewed from
the top' of the ‘Floifjeldet” reminded me ever
so much of the tiny cities which I have built
for'my children on the shoreof a Michigan lake.
The panorama includes ﬁords, lakes, rivers,
mountain faﬂls, ugly peaks, green-swarded emi-
nences, peaceful and fertile farms, forests of
ﬁr, and the cityitself snuggling ’twixt water’s
edge and mountain’s foot. ‘ * ‘ ’

I was agreeably surprised to ﬁnd among my
fellow-companions the Brazil gnerchant and his
little daughter with Whom I had become ac-
quainted on the boat from Newcastle to Bergen
and'who were travelling in that far northern
latitude to drown if possible their grief over the
recent loss of wife and mother. Another pas-
senger was a gentleman and his wife from Aus-
tralia. He was ‘a native-born Norwegian; she a
native-born Austraﬁan. They were bound for
phristiania to visit relatives. A third passenger
'was the'Danish egg expert merchant With whom
I had trod'the deck of the -“Irma” until the
plunging of the little craft had sent me to. join
the other passengers in repose. ‘ '

‘For the ﬁrst ﬁfty miles out of Bergen the view
is beautiful beyond description. In the dim dis—

jtance‘ many rugged peaks. can be seen while-

ﬁgures it is sufﬁcient to state thatgthe prices at
farm products increased approximately in harm? 
ony with the other prices. A part of the timefarm
prices were above the level of other prices. It i,
was not until after the war that farm product

prices began to lag. The farmer experienced. a *
period of prosperity during the war. He should'

look well into the causes for this and see if there
is not a lesson for him. ‘ j

\ Besides the factors mentioned above the 81-].
tension of credit and the great increase in our
supply of money caused prices to go higher. Just
how muchinfluence an increased money supply
and liberal extension of credit has on prices is
not known. It is known, however, that high
prices and inﬂation go hand in hand. It is also
true that an extension of credit increases buying
power and that an increased buying power causes
demand to increase and therefore prices to go up.

There is a very marked similarity in the way
prices moved during the Civil War and the late
World War. During the latter war price increas-
es continued longer after the close of hostilities
than in the case of the Civil War. Just why
this price increase continued and the “peak of
prices” was not reached until eighteen months
after armistice (May 1920) -is hard to explain.
It was probably due, to a great extent to the con-
tinuance of the guaranteed price for wheat and
continued buying by European governments.

To summarize, we ﬁnd a great increase in
prices of all productspcaused by (1) the great
demand for goods by the warring governments;
(‘2) increased purchasing power of all classes of
people; and, (3) increased supply of money and
credit. Such circumstances brought our prices.
to unusually high ponts. During this entire
period the most significant fact about prices was '
their instability. Price changes were frequent
and unexpected.

In the next article we shall analyze the causos
for the drop in prices and try to point out the
future trend.

   
 
  
   
   
  
    
  
 
   
  
   
    
  
   
    
 
  
    
    
   
   
    
   
  
   
   
    
   
    
   
      
  
   
  
   
  
   
    
  
     
   
  
   
  
  
 
  
    
    
    
 
    
 
    
  
  
  
   
   
   
  
  
 
   
  
  
   
 
  
  
 
 
 
  

near at hand greensward and charming farm
scenes sloping up from the deep quiet waters of
sky-blue lakes charm the eye. The panorama
varies from time to time, the near-by lakes and
[farms giving way to grey mountains which in
many cases stand so lose to the track that their
summits are hidden from sight. As the train
climbs higher and higher the air becomes colder
and a few miles out of Bergen the ﬁrst snow is
seen. Mile after mile the snow increases. Moun-
tain torrents cut their paths through drifts ten
feet deep. The sun-kissed waters in the IOWer
levels are soon succeeded by lakes which are
locked in the perpetual embrace of ice and snow
and from Whose borders rise mountains eter-
nally capped with ermine. The tunnels are a
constant marvel to the traveller. You are no
sooner out of one than you enter another. Curi-
ous things, tunnels. They are one of the deﬁs
which man hurls at nature when she stubbornly
resists his advances. Here’s a mountain squarely
in front of him. He can’t go over it or around.
All right, Mr. Mountain, we’ll go through. and
through we go. Probably the mountain grumbled
somewhat when they penetrated its bowels with
pick and screw and powder, but it has long since
subsided, and today stands silenﬂly grim but ;
helpless while man passes safely and swiftly "
through. ‘

At one of the stops the little flady from Brazil
and myself got off the train and climbed a huge
snow—bank by the side of a frozen lake. It was.
the ﬁrst time either one of us had ever played 5
in the snow on the 20th of June. At every im-‘
portant station on the line there is a large bell

ductor strikes with an iron one minute before
the train is due to leave, rthus warning all pas-
sengers who have left the train in ample time
to return to their compartments. , ,'

Sieridan, Mich.

If the area of muck in question is
well decomposed, compact and well
drained, so that it will grow hay or
any other farm crop with fair sues
cess, it should grow celery. There is
a good market for storage celery
and the farmer who has the right
kind.of. muck and can raise enéugh
to ship in car loads, has a. good op-
portunity for a proﬁtable crop. The
State Farm Bureau, through the
Michigan Potato Growers Exchange,
marketed two car loads of celery for
me last year. The service they gave
was excellent. It is unfortunate
that the vegetable growers of; the
state have not been organised to up-
prectate the service that the State
Farm Bureau can render them in
marketing their perishable products.

The farmer far from market can
not compete in express shipments
with the Kalamazoo, Hudsonville or
Muskegon celery farmers. He can,
by raising the proper variety, ship
in car loads for winter storage. The
market has only been touched and
with the high freight rate from
California, Michigan growers can
compete very adequately with their
celery. The variety which must be
raisedds Golden Self-Bleaching. This
is a rather weak -type, subject to
diseases. It must be adequately fer-
tilized and thoroughly sprayed. The
plants ‘are raised out of doors in
beds; the seed is sown the last week
in April, then tranSplanted in rows
from June 15th to July lst, ﬁve

feet apart and the plants 6 inches .

apart in the row. About twonty
loads of manure to the acre, sup-
plemented with 600 pounds of 2-2—
16 tertiljzer should be applied be-
fore the plants are sown. The plants
should be billed part way with what
is known as a. i‘hiller.” It.should
be understood in selling the crop,
that it is sold for storage. This

" CONTAGIOUS ABORTION i

a. What is the sate law governing oom-
tagious abortion in stock? in herd has
contrwted the disease n my
‘whidn was discus“ from a nei hbor’s
cow. If exam or bull has the sense
how can it be dot.
sum are for it'll! a ‘man knowingly
takes his cow that has the disease. and
fives the disease so a neighbor’s sire
° he liable for damages? Does the one
who owns sire report all cases or only
lain own? And to whomlu—B. W., Osceola
ounty. -

Contagious abortion "would be
governed by section 10 of Act 181
of the Public Acts of 1919,, which
states “No person having in his pos-
session any domestic animals affec-
ted with any contagious, infectious
or communicable disease, knowing
such animal to be so affected, shall
permit the same to run at large [or
shall keep such animal where other
domestic animals not affected by,
or previously exposed to such
disease, may be exposed to conta-
gion Or infection ;‘ nor shall any
person soil, ship, Jdrivc, trade or
give away any such diseased ani—
mal, my animal which has been
exposed to contagion or infection,
not move or drive any domestic
unimal in violation of. any direc-

~ tion, rule, regulation" or order es-

tablishng 0r , regulating any quar-
antine.

I might suggest, that recent ex»
periments have _ demonstrated that
the bull is not as important a fact-
or in the spread of abortion as
has previously been maintained.

The presence or we absence of
the disease can be determined in
the laboratory by subjecting sam-
ples of blood from the suspected
animals to the complement, ﬁxation
or gilutination test.

There is no sure cure for the
abortion disease: Recent experi-
ments are giving some encourag-
ing reSults, but anyone who at this
time claim to have a sure cure for
the abortion disease is making a.
false statement.

If it could be proven that a
neighbor knowingly took a cow af-
flicted with the abortion disease to
another neighbor’s sire and there—
by caused the sire to become dis,-
eased, in all probability damages
could be collected. ’

With reference to the reporting
of the disease, allow me to refer to
section 5 of the law above speciﬁ—
“It shall
be the duty of any person who dis—
covers,. suspects, or has reason to
believe that any domestic animal
belonging to him or in his charge,
or that» may come under his obser—
vation, belonging to other parties.
is affected with any, disease, wheth-
er it be a Contagious or infectious
disease, to immediately report
such tact, belief or suspicion , to
the State Commissioner of Agricuiu
ture, or to the localboard of heaﬂth
or some member
can of Animal Husbandry,

what work is done on ‘ the form
would be presumed to be under the

not within the terms of the lease
I think ‘thc tenant should make his

which is almost one-lhalf oi the en-

We are in. a town in which there

a farmer cannot rent .his farm and

Taxes will have to be' reduced
very much before a rural district in
Michigan can have a high school-

to'push the high school and not
reduce the taxes very materially,
one-half of the farmers in high

If the state wants such a school
it should also make a law that such
districts be laid out more practical”
A township is not practical. They

We are sure a— consolidated

rations not holdinganhuat meet-
ings, and such as were held in
most cases only attended by the

secretary and the board of direct-‘

ors. Under these conditions it has

been necessary for the Farm Loan'

Board to follow such course as in
their judgment best protected the
interests or the system. ‘ ~

3. With reference to rulings in
regard to loans, only such have
good ’business principles would de-
mand. Many of the critics seem
to target that the success of the
whole system rests on the sale of
the bonds to the investing public,
how well that has beén managed
is demonstrated by the high favor
in which the bonds are now held
by investors generally. The‘ speedy.
sale of the last issue of bonds ought
to be a justiﬁcation of the good
judgment of the Farm ‘Loan
Board and those connected with
the system. ‘

4. The same answer that ap-
plies to No. 1 will a'DIDIy to this
criticism ,why should the system be
criticized because of the'action of
opposing interests. /

In conclusion let me say that
many of the objections raised are
the result 01! ignorance of the real
working of the act rather than from
actual knowledge of what has
been done. There has been loaned
to the farmers of the state of Mich-.
igan oysr seven millions of dollars
in the last five years, this period
covering the .most strenuous time
the country has ever known, during
this time the overnment has sold
billions of hen s,«the system has
been tied up in the courts for ﬂit-
teen months, and rates of interest
have reached- the highest point in
many years. This is certainly a
most” remarkable achievement to
one familiar with ﬁnancial matters.
True we have’ not been able to care
for all applicants and many, that
apply are not entitled to loans, but
the releasing of ‘seven millions of
dollars which was tied up in long
time loans, for other channels of
business certainly is otconsidereble
value to the borrowing public, and
even though all were not able to
borrow directly they have certainly
shared in the beneﬁts indirectly by
the releasing of this‘ large amount

.. of credit. \

I know 'we are prone to criticize
and discredit any new departure
and expect great results in a short
‘space of time, but it would seem to
me in this case we are trying to
kill the “hen that laid the golden
egg” and a much better plan would
be to boost and if possible broad-
en out the system by good , con-
structive suggestions rather than
‘by adverse incinuatione.

I know all the agencies oi! _ the
system from the Farm Loan Board
at- Washington, the ofﬁcials of the
various Land Banks, to the apprais-
ers in'the ﬁeld, have all worked
vwith an honest, sincere desire to
carrythe beneﬁts of the system to
every deserving borrower possible
and that no other motive has ever
been given any consideration. -—

133 JAMES OLIVER CURWOOD 
Michigan? Own and Amcrucegwfggemgﬂt Wild LiFe Romance

 

(Continued from last week) \
“Then he lies,” said Challoner
. quietly.

' “He says he bought him of Jac-‘
ques Le Beau.” .

“Then Le Beau sold a. dog that
didn’t belong to him."

For a moment MacDonnell was
silent. Then he said:

“But that wasn’t what I had you
come over for, Challoner. Durant
told me something that froze my
blood tonight. Your outﬁt starts for
your post up in the Reindeer Lake’
county tomorrow doesn’t it?”

“In the morning.” ’

“Then could you, with one of my
rIndians and a. team, arrange to
swing around by way of the Jack-
son’s Knee? You’d lose a week but
could overtake your outﬁt before it
reached the Reindeer—and it would
be a mighty big favour to me.
There’s a-ea hell ofa. thing hap-
pened over there.”

Again he looked at Miki.

“Gawd!” he breathed.

Challoner waited. He thought he
saw a shudder go through the
Factor’s shoulders. .

“I’d go myself—I ought to, but
this frosted lung of mine has made
me sit tight this winter, Challoner.

“I ought to go. Why—(a sudden
glow shot into his eyes)—“I knew
this Nanette Le Beau when she was
so high, ﬁfteen years ago. I watched
her grow up, Challoner. If I hadn’t
been married—then—I’d have fall-
en in .love with, her. Do you know
her, Challoner? Did you ever see
Nanette Le Beau?” ‘
Challoner shook his head.

“An angel—if God ever made
one,” declared MacDonnell through
his red beard. “She lived ever be-
yond the Jackson’s Knee with her
father. And ‘he died, froze to death
crossing Red Eye Lake "one night.
I’ve always thought Jacques Le
Bealu made her marry him after
that. Or else she didn’t know, or
was crazed, or frightened at being
alone. Anyway, she married him. It
was ﬁve years ago I saw her last.
Now-and then I’ve heard things, but
I didn’t believe—not all of them. I
didn’t believe that Le Beau beat
her, and knocked‘ her down when he
wanted to. I didn’t believe he drag-
ged her through the snow by her hair
one day until she was nearly dead.
They were just rumors, and he was
seventy miles away. But I believe
them now. Durant came from their
place, and I guess he told me a
whole lot of the truth—to save that
dog.”

Again he looked at Miki.

“You see, Durant tells me that
Le Beau caught the dog in one of his
traps, took .him to his cabin, and
tortured him into shape for the big
ﬁght. When Durant came he was
so taken with the dog that he
bought him, and it was while Le
Beau was driving the dog mad in
his cage to show his temper that
Nanette interfered. Le Beau knocked
her down, and then jumped on her
and was pulling her hair and chok-
ing her when the dog went for him
and killed him. That’s the story. Du-
rant told me the truth through fear
that I’d have the dog shot if he was
an out-and-out murderer. And that’s
why I want you to go by way of the
Jackson’s Knee. I want you to in-
vestigate, and I want you to do what
you can'for Nanette Le Beau. My
Indian will bring her back to Fort
0’ God." ’

With Scotch stocism MacDonnell

v had repressed whatever excitement

he may have felt. He spoke, quietly.
But the curious shudder went
through his shoulders again. Chal-
l~oner stared at him in blank amaze—
ment. ‘ v

' “You mean to say that Miki—this.
dog—has killed-a man?” '-

“Yes. He killed him, Durant says]

' just as he killed Grouse Piet’s wolf-

'dog in the‘ big ﬁght» today. .Ughl"

 

the t Factor. --s,dded: , 

e

 

' got me,

" Challoner wondered how

the man. 'If what I hear about Le
Beau was true he's better dead than
alive. Challoner, if you didn't think
it too much trouble, and could go
that way—and see Nanette—~—” _

“I’ll go,” said Challon drop-
ping a. hand to M1%
“Keep your eye pen for u-

rant," he warned. “That dog is
ﬁorth more to him than all his win-
nings today, and they say his stakes
were big. He won heavily from
Grouse Piet, 'but the halfbreed is
’thick with him now. I know it. So
watch out.’,’ , A _

Out in the open space, in the light
of the moon and stars, Challloner
stood for a moment with Miki’s fore-
paws resting against his breast. The
dog’s head was almost on a level
with: his shoulders.

“D’ye remember when you fell

out of the canoe, Boy?” he asked.

softly. "Remember how you ’n’ the
cub were tied in the bow, an’ you
got to scrapping and fell overboard
just above the rapids? Remember?
By Jove! those rapids pretty near
too. I thought you were
dead, sure—both of you. I wonder
what happened to the cub?”

Miki whined in response,..and his
whole body trembled.

“And since then you’ve killed a.
man,” added Challo er, as if he still

could not quite be ieve. “And I’m
to take you black 'to the woman.
That’s the funny thing about it.

You’re going back to her, and’ if
she says kill you ”

He dropped Miki’s forefeet and

 

went on to the cabin. 'At the thres- ~

hold a low growl rose in Miki’s
throat. Challoner laughed, and op-
ened the door. They went in, and
the dog’s growl was a menacing
snarl. Chal‘loner had left his lamp

burning low, and in the light of it he,

saw Henri Durant and Grouse Piet
waiting for him. He turned up the
wick, .and nodded.

“Good evening. Pretty late for a.
call, isn’t it?”

Grouse Piet’s stolid face did not
change ts expression. It struck Chal-
loner, as he glanced at him, that in
head and shoulders he bore a gro-
stesque resemblance to a. walrus.
Durant’s eyes were dully ablaze. His
face was swollen where Challoner
had struck him. Miki, stiffened to
the hardness of a knot, and still
snarling under his breath, .had
crawled under Challoner’s bunk. Du-
rant pointed to him. \.
“We’ve come after that dog," he
said. ’ ~ '-
“You can’t have him, Durant,”
replied Challoner, trying hard .to
make himself appear at. ease in a.
situaton that sent a chill up his
back. As he spoke he was making
up his mind why Grouse Piet had
come with Durant. They were giants,
both of them; more than that—mon-
sters. Instinctiver he had faced
them with the small table between
them. “I’m sorry I lost my temper
out there," he continued. “I
shouldn’t have struck you, Durant.
It- wasn’t your fault—and‘I apolo~
gize. But the dog is mine. I lost him
over in the Jackson’s Knee country,
and if Jacques Le Beau caught him
in a trap, and sold him to you,,he
sold a dog that didn’t belong to him.
I’m willing to pay you back what
you gave ‘for him, just to be 'fair.
How much was it?” .

Grouse Piet had risen to his feet.
Durant came to the opposite edge
of the table, and leaned over it.
a. single
blow had knocked him down. 7

“Non, he\is not for sale.” Durant’s
voice waslow; so low that it seemed
ato‘choke him to get it out. It was
ﬁlled with a. repressed hatred. Chal—
‘loner saw the great ’co'rds of his
knotted lhands bulging under the
skin as he gripped the edge of-the
table. ,“M’sieu, we have ncome for

e
With them went the table and lamp.
There was a. vivid .splutter of ﬂame
and the cabin wasin darkness ex-
cept where the moonlight ﬂooded
through the one window. Challoner
had looked for something different:
.He had expected Durant to threat.
on before he acted, and, sizing up
the two of them, he had decided to
reach the edge of his bunk during

 

the discussion. Under the pillow.was 7.
his revolver. It was 'too late now. ,

Durant was on him, fumbling in the
darkness for his throat, and as he
ﬂunlg one arm upward to get a hook
around the Frenchman’s neck he
heard Grouse Pet throw the table
back. 4The next instant they were
rolling in the moonlight on the ﬂoor,
and Challoner caught a glimpse of
Grouse Piet's huge bulk bending
over them. Durant’s head was twists
ed under his arm, but one of the
giant’s «hands had reached his
threat. The rhallfbreed saw this, and
he cried out something in a. guttural
voice. With a tremendous eﬂort
Challoner- rolled himself and his ad-
versary out of the patch of light into
darkness again. Durant’s thick neck
cracked. Again Grouse Piet'called
out in that guttural, questioning
voice. Challoner put every ounce of
his energy into the crook of his arm,
and Durant did not answer.

Then the weight of Grouse Piet
fell upon them, and his great hands
groped for Challener’s neck. His
thick ﬁngers found Durant’s beard
ﬁrst, then fumbled for Challoner and
got their hold. Ten seconds of this
terriﬁc grip would have broken his
neck. But the ﬁngers never closed.
A savage cry of agony burst from
Grouse Piet’s lips, and with that
Cry, ending almost in a scream,
came the snap of great jaws and the

rending snarl of fangs in the dark- A

ness. Durant heard, and with a great

heave of his massive body he broke ~

free from Challoner’s grip, and leapt
to his feet. In a ﬂash Challoner was
at his bunk facing his enemies with
the revolver in his hand. ‘ .

Everything had happened quickly.
Scarcely more than a minute had
passed since the overturning of the
table, and now, in the moment when
the situation had turned in his
favour, a. sudden swift and sicken-
ing horror seized upon Challoner.
Bloody and. terrible there rose be—
before him the one scene he had
witnessed that day in the big cage
rwhere Miki and the wolf-dog had
fought. And there—in that dark-
ness of the cabin _

He heard a moaning’c'ry and the
crash of a body to the ﬂoor.

"Miki, Miki," he cried. “Here!
Here!" -

He dropped his revolver and
sprang to the door, ﬂinging it wide
open.

“For God’s sake.
cried. “Get out!"

A bulk dashed p’ast'him into the
night. He knew it was Durant. Then

 

get out! ” he

.he leapt to the dark shadows on the

ﬂoor and dug his two hands into the
Miki’s
neck, dragging him back, wand
shouting his name. He saw Grouse
Piet crawling toward the door. He
saw him rise to.his feet, silhouetted
for a. moment against the starlight,
and stagger out into the night. And
then he felt Miki’s weight slinking
down to [the ﬂoor, and under his
hands the dog's muscles grew limp
and saggy; For two or three min—
utes he continued to kneel beside him
before he closed the cabin door and
lighted another lamp..He set up the
overturned table and placed the
lamp on it. Miki had not moved; He
lay flat on his belly, his head be
tween his forepaws, looking up at

Challoner withha. mute appeal in his ‘ 7

eyes.

f Outﬁt of three teams and four

'men left north and west for the
- Reindeer Lake country on the Jour—
_ ney‘to his new post at the mouth
of the. Oochrane. An hour later
Challoner struck due west with a
light sledge and a five-dog team for
the Jackson’s Knee. Behind him fol:-
lowed one of MacDonnelI’s "Indians
with the team that... was __to bring
Nanette to Fort 0 God. '

He saw nothing more of Durant
and Grouse Piet, and accepted Mac-
Donnell's 'explanaton that they had
undoubtedly left the; Post shortly
after their assault upon him in the
cabin. No doubt their disappearance
had been hastened.by the fact that
a patrol] of the Royal Northwest
Mounted Police on its Way to York
Factory was expected at Fort O’ God
that day. I

Not until the ﬁnal moment of de-
parture was Miki brought from the
cabin and tied to the gee-bar of
Challoner’s sledge. When hesaw the

ﬁve dogs squatted on their haunches
he grew rigid and the old snarl rose
in his throat. Under Challloner’s
quieting‘words‘he quickly came to
understand that these beasts were
’not enemies, and from a rather sus—
picious toleratien of them he very
soon began to take a new sort of
interest in them. It was a friendly
team, bred in the south and with-
out the wolf strain.

Events had come to pass so swift—
ly and so vividly in Miki’s life dur-
ing the past twenty-four hours that
for many miles afterthey left Fort
0’ God his senses were in an un-
settled state of anticpation." His
brain was ﬁlled with a jumble of
strange and thrilling pictures. Very
far away, and almost indistinct,
were the pictures of things that had
happened before he was made a pris-
oner by Jacques Le Beau. Even the
memory of Neewa was fading under
the thrill of events at Nanette’s‘
cabin and at Fort 0’ God. The pic-
tures that blazed their way across
his brain now were' of men, and
dogs, and many other things that
he had never seen before. His world
had suddenly transformed itself in-
to a host of Henri Durants and
Grouse Piets and Jacques Le Beans,
two-legged beasts who had clubbed
him, and half killed him, and who
had made him ﬁght to keep the life
in his body. He had tasted their
blood in his vengeance. And he
watched for them now. The pictures
told him they were everywhere. He
could imagine them as countless as
the wolves, and as he had seen them
crowded round the big cage in which
he had slain the wolf-dog.

In all of this excited and distorted
world-there was only one Challoner,
and one‘Nanette, and one baby. All\
else was a chaos of uncertainty and
of dark menace. Twice when the In-
dian came up close behind them
Miki whirled about with a savage
snarl. Challoner watched him. ,

Of the pictures in his brain one
stood out above all others, deﬁnite
and unclouded, and that was the
picture of Nanette. Yes, even above
Challoner himself. There lived in
him the consciousness of her gentle
hands; her sweet, soft voice; the‘
perfume of her hair and clothes and"
body—the woman of her; and a part
of the woman—as the hand is a

   

was this part of Miki that Challoner
could not understand, and which
puzzled him when they made camp
that night. He sat for a long time
beside the ﬁrertrying to bring back
the old comradeshi‘p of. the days of
Miki’s puppyhood. But he only part-
ly succeeded. , Miki was restive.
Every nerve in his body seemed on
edge. Again and again he' faced the
weSt, and alwayswhen he sniffed the
air in that direction there came a
low whine in his throat.

That night, with doubt in his
heart, Challoner fastened him _near
the tent with a tough rope of ba-‘-
biche. ’ 

For a long time after Challoner '

of two away a wolf pointed his muz-._

like. a dista

THAT’S precisely what you can have
-— with a Colt Lighting-and-Cook-
ing Plant! Artiﬁcial gas that pro-
duces the most marvelous light known
to science—a light many times brighter
than that givon by gas as used by city-
folk; a light so near to sunlight it has
coaxed hens into laying and vegetables
into sprouting. . . .

Gas that makes the hottest of cook-
ing ﬂames—boils coffee in four minutes
by the watch. So clean you can draw
a silk handkerchief across the bottom
of a pan and not soil it. No odor while
burning. No matches necessary to ig-
nite it.

Gas for lighting home, barn, drive-
way and outbuildings.

Gas for cooking.

Gas for ironing.

Gas for water-heating.

THIS gas is Carbide gas; and the
simple Colt machine makes it for you
automatically—when you need it, and

.only when you need it. Starts and
shuts oﬁ' supply automatically.

Colt Plant Simplicity Itself

The Colt generates this wonderful gas
by mixing carbide with plain, ordinary
water. It does all the work itself—
.there is nothing to get out of order.
No eXpensive unit requiring replace-

.Pickell won the debate he had with Geo. C.
Jewett on speculation. Piche'll, "a veteran de—
hater , and versed in the tricks of the grain
‘ trade, had no 'diﬁcnlty in "‘proving"-'te the
judges that ‘speculation is a legit'mnte and
beneﬁcent pmctice.-  '
The questien’ as stated, “Is speculation a
menace to the marketing of grain?" was a1-

together too general and owided and gave
Piekell an advantage over his oppcncat from?

the very start. To attempt to prove that all
speculation in grain marketing is harmful and
ought to be done away with is attempting the

:  Well, anyway, I’m jest goin’ to
 a little aomethin’ to the guy-—

that reprimanded me on the little
letter I wrote on woman’s dress.
~ New this teller said it Was posited:-
’ly redic’ius for any man to write
msnch Maslwroteln thatlet-
. ﬁber. Mebbe so an' then nebbo mot!
-‘— He sex the present styles of we-
~ men‘s dress is just simply rahln’
“Cain with morale and conditions of
all of our red blooded, live an’ wide
awake young men. Now if this were
true wouldn’t it be awful? Let’s see
if it's true. This very day, afternoon
an' evenin', I've been up town look-
in' ’round. On the bank corner ~—
the main corner of our city, I found
no young men standin' to see what
they could see! All were men of
middle age or more. I mixed with
the crowd an" I heard no remarks
regardin’ Women’s dress except one
that was a foreigner an' he said
“there’s a nice ankle!" Now when
the man who wrote the article in
M. B. F. who ﬁnds so much fault
with my remarks or even with the
styles themselves, shows me that he
knows more about young men—that
he associates with more of them,
hears more of their talk, loves them
more or believes in them more than
your Uncle Rube, then, if he can
show me that they are bein’ demora-
lized or made bad by the fashions—
by the manner in which girls dress,
I’ll just say he’s right an' shot my
trap, an’ never write another word
about it. Where I work we'employ
many hundreds of young men. To
all of these young tellers, after they
have been with, us a Week, or ten
days, I lmow them by their ﬁrst
name, an‘ to them I am always
known as “Dad,” I prob’ly hear
more oi! their conﬁdential tanks in
one week than the writer of the let-
ter in question, hears in a year or
mebbe in a lifetime. I know young
manhood, I work with ’em, love ’em,
hear their conﬁdence an’ believe in
"elm—they trust" me with their se-
crets an’ I don’t betray any of ’em.
An’ I‘m sayin' right here an' now—-
it’s not our young men ’ats bein’ de-
moralized by the prevailin’ fashions,
it's the old men—men who are livin’
in a‘p’ast age an’ whose minds are
either warped by age or who have
always had wrong thoughts. '

The criticism of woman’s dress
has' always been a pet theme of a
certain class of men. When Methu—
selah Was a school kid, man had
seen things wrong in the way women
dressed; It is no part of a man’s
business how women dress. If he
don’t'like their styles let ’em alone.

 

present day ginls just as much as
we 01' tellers loved an’ admired the
girls of, our day. ‘ ‘
No young men marries a girl on-
less he respects an' trusts her. The
fact that. there are jest as many
marriages now as there ever was is
proof positive that our young men
do respect our girls..An’ I jest want
to say to you that our girls are to
be respected. An’ so . I am say-
in' to my friend that. feels like criti-

AGOITRES
‘ ' FEW days ago, I was talking
with a well-known specialist,
- about goitres, and he gave me
' (some information which I know
’ will be welcome to many, as letters
on my desk would testify. I will
.answer them all at once. This
doctor said that goitres were very
prevalent in some localities and it
., had been found by analysis that the
drinking water in th 9 places lack-
ed a sufﬁcient amou t of iodine.
He advised the use i (1 no in the
_ drinking water, ﬂve dro in 1-2 a
glass, of water three or our times
a day as a cure for go tres in their
ﬁrst stage and as a preventive
measure.

He believes that at least fifty
per cent of goitres need not be
operated upon and that an opera-g
tlon never should be undertaken un-

less absolutely necessary, as a part

. emedy he suggests is so simple,
,.‘inexpensive and harmless to say
, the least that I do not hesitate to
“give it to any one interested.

'You remember that grape—fruit
has been suggested as a remedy. I
wonder if there may not be a little
iodine in the juice of the
fruit? You know one smells just

Tell me not in mournful numbers.
Life is but an empty dream,

And the soul.is dead that slumbers,

Life is real! Life is earnest!

Dust thou art, to dust returneth.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Was our destined end or way,
But to act that each tomorrow
Finds us farther than today.

ANOTHER GOITRE CURE

I saw Mrs. J. W. of Illinois’s request
for a goitre cure. Take 1 cup of kero-
sene. 3 cakes of camphor gum, put in a
pint can with rubber on. When all the
camiplhor gum that will dissolve has, rub
lightly on goitre three times a day; do
not put any cloth around neck or the
kerosene will blister. My sister had a
very large goitre and she commenced us-
ing it Dec. 3, 1918, and used it faith-
fully. often rubbing on ﬁve or six times
a day. and before the year was up her
goitre was gone. If She thinks it is
growing she uses it as directed for a
month. A speccialist on goitres gave it
to her. She was dootoring with him for
her heart; goitre had affected it.—R. E.

.COLD PACK CANNING
Each week I read with interest the

' Farm Home Department. but never be!

fore have ventured to write. I am en-
closing an addressed envelope for the ad—
dress of the Art Goods Company who
buy work done by ladies at home. I have
always done loads of it and given it
away and I would so like to realize a
little money from some of it.

I have been like the lady who men-
tioned letting George .do it as I have
noticed things before I‘d like to answer
but didn’t. I. was glad to see the letter
regarding the canning of meat and to 1-
ing that the cans should be covered. I
notice. some letters said not to cover
cans with water.

I have canned over 1,000 quarts of
fruits and meat. the cold pack way the '
last two years and have only lost two
cans of corn and one of mpkin out
of that amount. Also 3 1- hours is a
great plenty to process meat that is put
in the cans cooked and one hour
plenty for that which is cooked ﬁrst.

I cooked my pumpkin as I wanted it
ready for pies, run it thru a colender,
packed in cans and processed two hours,
all we do is open can and make our pies
and it is ﬁne

Didn't the government send out a. bold
letinwarning against the use of canning
compound? Anyway it is useless to use
it when the cold pack way is so much
better. We had parsnips and greens. in
fact. I think most every kind of vege-
table and fruit, beside chicken. duck.
beef and pork ready» to use at an in-
stamt's notice—Mrs. Grace Lents. Eaton

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS] /

De‘ar Uncle Ned and Cousins—We are
two girls sixteen years of- age. We go
and belong to the same church. It is a

church where the congregation is mostly -

young people. We young people have an
organized Endeavor Society. Some, or
rhelps most of you, know what that

. There are thirty-nine members and
we always invite other young people to
our business meetings. After the busi-
ness meeting we have refreshments and
plug;h games. We all enjoy ourselves v‘ery
mu . ‘

We enjoyed reading Nellie Inman‘s
letter. We, too, wish that more of the
older young people would write. Please
come again, Nellie. We would like to
have you and some of the other cousins
wri to us. You must have fine times
at your skating parties. We can't even
skate. Yes. we’re ashamed but don’t

V laugh at u .wo have tried with no suc—
cess except ng a few bumps which we
are proud to exhibit, it Shows that we
tried anyway. We have poor teachers
around'here. How many of you like to
play the piano and sing? We do, that
is the way we pass our idle hours. What
are some of your favorite pieces? Ours
are “Alabama Lullaby." “Fe er Your
Nest,” “The Long, Long Trail,’ and “Red
Wing." Our fathers take the M. B. F.
and every time the papers come we look
for the children’s page ﬁrst as we en-
joy the. letters from the cousins. Your
nieces—Neva Gorsuch and Esther
Rhonda, R. 3, Wheeler, Mich.

Dear Uncle Ned—J have been reading
your pagetevery week but I never got
around to write. I am reading Nomads
of the North and like it fine, but just
as you get to an interesting part. it
says: " Continued next week," I’m al-
ways impatient for next week to come.

I‘m a girl 14 years old and in the ninth
grade. I have to go about four miles to
school but we drive our machine. I used
to go to school to Gibralber, a little vil-
lage. a mile from here, but they only

up to the eighth grade so I have
to go to Trenton now We live on a 100-
wcre farm. We have 1? horses. 14 head of
cattle. a dog. 2 cats, and some chickens
and ducks. We did have some pigs but
we butchered them this winter. There
is :a creek about .100 yards from the
house. We skate in the winter and swim
in» the summer. A little farther on there
is a cement bridge and the creek is
dredged from Lake Erie to the bridge. It
is ﬁne swimming where it is dredged.
We take our 3-year-old sister in with us
and she knows the stroke already but
she can’t Swim yet. In the summer we
go canoeing on the lake in the evening.
The lake is abox$t§a mile down the creek.
. I have 3 siste . and one brother. My
' youngest sister, Virginia, is 3, my next
one, Mildred. is 21, my ~ oldest sister,
Inez, is 24 and my brother. Allan, is
26. My brother was a marine during the
war. I don’t like to live in the city. I
have lived on this farm all my life. My-
oldest sister is married and lives right
‘ next door. Out near the lake is an is-

 

land’called Snake Island, where we get .

our wild flowers. There are three islands._
close together and are called 1st. 2nd. and
8rd Snake Island. On 3rd Snake Island
the ground, in spring is white with three-
leafed-trilliums .' ‘
would like to get some letters
from this circle. I will ansWér
any letters that I get. My birthday is

October 10th. I am sending three pio- ,

tures for you. You don't need to print
them but I wanted you to see someoof
my family. Some time when I get a pic-
ture of us all together I will send one
to you, but we don’t ,halppen to have a
picture of the whole family together so I
Just sent these. That is Virginia and I
standing by the machine and the other
one is Mildred and two of our horses.
That scene is taken from our door-way.
Well it is 9:30 and I haven’t worked a

Will you not write to me about the

that all the boys and girls may learn
about it? I would be pleased to have

you.

 

Dear Uncle Ned—I would like to Join
your merry circle. I like to read the
Children’s Hour. I live on a hundred-
and—ten-acre farm known as the Locust
Knob Farm. ‘We have ﬁve horses and
seven cows, three young calves, about
ﬁfty hens. I, have three sisters and two
brothers. I like to go to school. I am
in the sixth grade and am eleven years
of age. I will be twelve the ninth of
March. Have I a twin? I have eighty
rods to go to school. I have a little baby
sister who I think is very cute. She is
seventeen months old and can do all
kinds of things to make you laugh. I
would make a suggestion that we write
short stories each week and have them
published in the M. B. F. With love
to my friends and Uncle Ned.——-Bernice
Bowler, Smyrna, Mich.

Dear Uncle Ned—How are you and all
the cousins? We are going to have a. box
at our school. I saw that Marion

Dic‘k, a friend of mine, had a letter in
the M. B. F. It will soon be spring. I

and the birds begin to sing. I wish some
of the boys and girls would write to me.
—-Adah Jones. Muir, Mich.

 

Dear ‘Uncle Ned—I am a girl 12 ears

My birthday is Sept. 14. When
my sister wrote she said that she could
not describe herself, so I will describe
some of her. She has a lot of nice au-
burn hair. She has blue eyes. I have
had a lot of fun skating this winter. I
enjoy reading the Children's Hour every
week. I like to take care of the baby.

I will tell you one of my experiences
with an old sheep. Once we had an old
sheepin ou orchard and he was a

A MAIDEN

There once was a girl
From a little town,

Every where she went

Her curly hairrhung down.

She was dressed so pretty
She had long black hair.
No one could ﬁnd

A maiden more fair.

She used to go wandering
In the meadows alone,
Every where she went
The sun had shown.

The sunsho'wn down

On the maiden so fair,
Wild roses were entwined
In her beautiful black hair.

The Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea. is. caused. by the
bacillus Bacterium Puller-em trans-
.mitted through the yolk. There is
scarcely a. hatch without some in-
rteeted chicks. Thegerms can be kill-
ed by the use of 'preventives. Intest-
inal Antiseptic: to kill the germs
should be given as soon as the chicks
are. out of the shell. It is much. easi-
er to prevent than it is to cure.

 

 

Bow, to Prevent _White Diarrhea

Dear Sir: I have. raised poultry for
years and have lost my share of little
chicks tram White Diarrhea. Finally
I learned of .Welker’s Walko Remedy
for this. disease, so sent tor-two 50c
packages to the Walker Remedy 00.,
Dept. 586, Waterloo, Iowa. I raised
over 500 chicks and novel-lost a
single one from White Diarrhea.
Waiko not only prevents White
Diarrhea, but it gives the chicks
strength and vigor-they develop
quicker and feather earlier. I have
found this company thoroughly re~
liable and always get—the remedy by
return mail. Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burn-~
etts Creek, Ind.

 

 Don‘t Wait

Don’t wait until White Diarrhea gets
half or twoqrhirds your chicks. Don’t let
it get started. Be prepared. Write today.
Let us prove to you that Walko will pre—
vent Mithrrhea. Send 50c on box
on our guarantee—money back it not sam-
isfied. Walker Remedy Co . Dept -086,

, I oral groups. This is of the ﬁrst
' importance. to the fruit. grower,
sincet-he varieties of a group that
may be grown- succession? in one
locality may be a failure in on—
othel't" ‘
By another classiﬁcation culti-
vated varieties may be divided into
tour families; those derived from
the wild or native pluma' those
from the European, from' Japan-
ese plums and hybrids. More than
300 varieties have been listed, but
those of 1 Value may be limit-
éd’ '60 perhaps 25 Of 30, Whléh is
more than some of_ the larger nur-
series name in their catalogues.

' The European or domestic plums
are the most .highly developed' and
have resulted ' from
cultivation. To these belong the
Lombard, Diamond, Egg, Brad-
shaw, Green Gage, {the Damsons
and the ‘Prunes. Varieties of this
class predominate in New England
and the northern portion in New
York, Pennsylvania, Northern .Ohio
and mum Ontario and Michi-
gan, also the prune district of the
Paciﬁc coast.

Japanese plums are of compara-
tively recent introduction having
been brought into Oalifornia in 1870.
Many. varieties have originated in
this country, but only the Abund—
ance, Burbank, Satsum-a and Red
Jum are receiving much attention
at present. Its territory is much
the Baﬁﬂ a the European class.

From the wild plum varieties
have. come that are Suited to all the
localities trons Texas to the north-
ern limit of fruit prod‘ncthm-Some
of them are. of excellent ﬂavor as
the DsSote, though in general they
are interior to the domestics.

Many hybrids have been brought
out, but with one notable exception
the Wickson, they have not proved
of much worth. The Wickson is

’ large, dark red, firm; sweet and of

good quality, paint! in its favor
which led many to plant it several
years ago. As a producer it has
proved a disappointment.

. For a market variety the Lom-
bard has long been one of the fav-

In .Western New York, Northern

the demand be equal to it? Con-

PEACE LEAF CURL THREATENS
ITH everything indcating that
peaches will bring a good
price next summer, fruit grow-

ers cannot afford to run the risk of -

subjecting their peach orchards to
the attack of leaf curl.

The disease is almost sure to he
troublesome if the months of April
and May are wet and cold as is like—
ly to be the case. No fungus disease
is easier to control if the spraying
is. done at the right time and in a
thorough manner.

Leaf curl appears as the leaf buds

open and results in the thickening ‘

and curling of the leaves, which
take on a yellow color with red
’markings. Later on a, white powder
shows on the surface of the leaves.
This is composed of the spores of the
fungus. If the weather conditions
are favorable for the development of
the fungus every leaf may be at-
tacked and will drop from the trees.
This will result in the loss of the
fruit crop in whole or in part, de-
pending on the severity of the at—
tack to the leaves. In severe cases.
the twigs and smaller branches may
be aﬁected, resulting in permanent
injury to the trees. In your orch—
ards, single branchesand even en-
tire trees may be kitled. _
Elberta, Engl‘e, New Proliﬁc and
othu' commercial sorts are Quite
subject to attack and the disease
will surely do much harm it the

weather conditions favor its de~
velopment. _
, To be eifectual the spraying

should be done several weeks before
the time of the blossoming of the
trees, and before the buds have
swollen. As a rule it will answer if
the trees are sprayed by the tenth
of April in the southern counties
and a week or ten days later farther
nOrth. but if the season is an early
one, the ﬁrst of April will be too late
for perfect results. Applications
made after the buds have swollen
will be too late. The spraying may
be done in the fall after the leaves
are oﬁ or on warm days during the
winter.

When trees are sprayed for scale
insects with dormant lime sullphur
solution (1 part to 8 parts of water)
the application will also sufﬁce for
the control of the leaf curl. III the
scale spray is not deemed necessary,
a samewhat weaker solution (1 to
25) will control leaf curl. Good ro-
units may also be secured with Bor-
deaaxmixture (44-50) or if the
m is free from lime, a weak solu-
tlcn of copper sulphate (1 pound to
50 gallons of water.) may be used.

Care should be taken not only to
spray. at  right time but every
bud”‘should receive enough of the
spray so that it will soak down be-
tween the bud scales. One thorough
spraying only is necessary and if
that. is even one curled leaf, it in-
dicates that the bud tram which it
came - was not properly" soaked—L.
n. Taft, State Inspector of Orchards
and Nurseries.

You 'pay’f'or a

De Laval

whether you buy one
or not

If you are using a worn-out,
inferior cream separator, or
skimming cream by hand, you
are surely wasting enough
cream to payfor a De Laval
in a short time.

The selection of a cream
separator is more important
than that of any other machine
on the farm, for none other
can either save or waste so
much, twice a day, 365 days a
year.

A De Laval separator will:

—Skim cleaner for many
more years than any other;

_ —Skim milk clean at lower
temperature than shy other
separator;

———Deliver a higher testing
cream, which is more accept-
able to the creamery, and eas-
icr and less costly to ship,
And deliver a. cream which
will make better butter.

Mechanically a De Laval
Separator is the best that ﬁne
materials and-skilled workman-

 

. ship can make.

—-It lasts longer than any
other separator, many giving
service for 15 to 20 years.

———It is to turn.

——It is easier to clean.

—It is so simple that one .
tool will set it up or take it
down.

——It has the most pert

Do not be deceived by separ

.rators which are claimed to

be “just as b. ‘ “4 n0st less."
When you com 5 greater
savings, greater oliability,

longer life, the ex time It,
saves, and the grea satis-
faction it gives, the Dr Law

is, in the end, by far the most
economical cream separator
made.

Even if you have only two

‘ cows it will pay yen to have

a' De Laval. One can be M

on such easy terms that it will v

 magma . SKIN

   
  
 

I. overheard \a farmer t’elliuy'that ’m‘po
caused some kind of skin disease? cums 

hos-s. Is his statement true or is he mis-
taken?-—-I. .W. '1‘. Leslie, Mich. -~
The feedingiof rape, alfalfa, buck-
wheat, and some other substances

      

in some manner causes a hyper—sen- ’

sitive condition of the skin and when
the skin so affected is white or spot-
ted, lesions appear a short time
after exposure to sunlight. It ap-
pears almost necessary for the inter-
nal and external agents both to be
active. The sunlight. alone appar-
ently will not produce these spots
nor will the forage crops mentioned
cause trouble if the animals are kept
away from the sunlight.

 

COLIO

I have a mare ten years old that is
subject to colic. She has colic about
once every month from no apparent
cause whatever. It seems to make no
difference what kind of hay or grain is
fed she gets sick just the same. We have
had her about three years and she has
been subject to colic since we had her.
When she is sick ‘she lays down and gets
up and rolls around in the barn and un-
less I give her a good dose of physio
sometimes she Will get sick» in about a.
week again—E. K., Boyne City. Mich.

Chronic Indigestion is tille cause
of your troubles. Always water this
horse before feeding, never after
feeding. Have your looail druggist
put up the following digestive powd-
ers, give according to directions and
your troufbilre will be over. Powdered
capsicum one ounce, powdered nux
vioimrica two ounces, powdered ginger
and gention equal parts two ounces
and add sufﬁcient soda bicarbonate
to mclke one pound. Give one table-
spoonful in grain or on tongue with
a spoon tlhree times a day. After
you have given‘this for about a
week, then twice a day will be sufﬁ—
cient. Keep salt before her at all
times and see she gets proper ex—
ercise. ‘

ENLARGEA’IENT IN TEATS

T how a 4—year-old cow that has her
second calf and about 1 year after she
had her ﬁrst calf she, lost the ﬂow of
milk from one of the back teats and I
thought I would try it again and it might

,come back; Now she has her second

calf with no better results. Then is
plenty of milk in the bag but it does not
come down in the teat. Now there is

,one of her front teats that has a lump

in it and it 'is very hard to get milk
through. Would be thankful for any ad-
v“» T r*m'id receive—E. B., Traverse
City, Mich.

If enlargements are in the tout

the only remedy would be to have
them removed by a qualiﬁed veteri-
narian, that is provided the enlarge-
ments are of a tumerous nature;
should these enlargements be of a
glandular nature you might get
some results by giving two drahms
of potassium iiodi‘d’ twice daily.

 

WOLF TEETH SHOULD NOT BE
PULLED
I have ﬁihorse that always stays poor.

We took or to a doctor andhe pulled
the wolf teeth and ﬁlled th‘e"ba,ok ones

but it didn’t help any. She feels good ‘

and eats everything and I‘fed her all
kinds of stuff for worms but she doesn’t
pass any. Is there anything I can do for
her? I have some calves that have the
ringworm so bad they are covered with
scabs Please advise how to cure them.
——(l‘ K , Harbor lien/(ill. Mich.

Wolf teeth were given the horse
by the Creator and while we can see
no real beneﬁt through their appear-
ance, we know they mever do any
lharm. If they should not appear in
the mouth of the horse. then some
one should advise the one respon-
sible for their presence, of hits mils-
take. 'Iihese rediimentary teeth have
no effect upon the condition your
horse is in and the sooner these

takers, who travel the country, '(be‘

he qualiﬁed or not) is shown up be-
fore tlle pufbllic the 'better. In the
majority of cases the honest, hard-
working farmer, generous-hearted
as [he is, (is the one who settles.
Feed your horse plenty of good hay
and whole oats. Get the following
prescription filled and follow direc-
tions closely and your animal will
do weal. Powdered apsilcurm one
ounce and add suﬂicient soda bicar-

bonate to make one pound. Mix all ~~
together and give .one tables‘poonful,
morning and night. .Did I 'under-‘

stand the doctor ﬁlled some of: the
belckteetih? “Some ‘veterim ’

business outlook'continues but
’the progress. made is irregular
being much more marked in certain
lines than in others. The increase
in orders and output in connection
with the steel and iron industry, is
one of the most hopefuil indications
of returning prosperity, reducing as
it does the number of unemployed
' and giving an encouraging impetus
to business in all related lines.
Another encouraging symptom of re-
turning life in the leading cities of
the country is the resumption of
home building operations; this last

development like all other evidences .

- of increased activity, is not by any
means general but is occuring in
cities that have not been over-built,
where industry is speeding up and
where laboring men have a fair
prospect of soon being able to save
a littlle money, every week, out of
their earnings.

The pdlitical pot is beginning to
boil in every city, village and ham—
let in the country and the taxpaying
public is sharpening its ax to get
even with public ofﬁcials who have
been extravagant in the past or who
are favoring large expenditures of
tax funds in the near future. That
the farmer’s ﬁnancial outlook has
greatly improved during the past
two months cannot be denied but
he is still short of funds and in no
humor to encourage profilgacy and
extravagance in high ofﬁce.

Wholesale prices have been
marked down in connection with
many lines and dealers are ﬁnishing
their orders which were split in two
in the middle because of uncertainty
and lack of conﬁdence in the con—
sumptive outlook of the coming
spring and summer. Reports from
the country districts indicate that
the farmer is beginning to buy on
a much larger scale than hereto—
fore, although in some localities.
ties, dealers are complaining about
the activities of farm organizations
along commercial lines. The persis-
tent advance in the selling price of
farm products, which has featured
the market recently has evidently
been checked for the present and
in the event of a permanent decline
in values, a decrease in rural busi-
ness may be looked for.

The New York stock market has
been decidedly active of .late with
rails leading in activity. The pros—
pect of a business revival has al-
ready resulted in the making of
elaborate plans, by many manufac-
turing projects, for repairs and ex-
tensions. Equipments aud transpor-
tation securities are well thought of
by the investment public because
they believe that before very long,
railroad companies will be forced to
spend-large amounts for betterments
of all kinds. Government bonds are
weak but all other reliable bond is—
sues are in active demand at steady

prices. Call money has ’been ranging;

between 3 1-2 and 4 per cent for
some days past and the supply of
long—time funds is said to be equal
to the needsof the situation in all
lines, except among farmers.

been the big bullish factor in recent
weeks and should be watched close—
ly by all who have wheat to'sell. No
one believes that all the damage
which has been done can be undone.
The crop has suffered irreparable
damage, and a goodly acreage will
be abandoned. But with normal
spring weather there should be some
recovery. The wheat market is in
just such a condition today that it
is likely to develop weakness from
very little cause and we need not
be surprised to ﬁnd the next couple
of weeks a period of lowertprices
and inactivity, which are very likely
and
longer period of increasing strength
and high prices. We still expect to
see $1.50 Wheat on the Chicago
market before the next crop.

a week ago. The future of this mar-
ket now will depend somewhat upon
the 1922 acreage. A large acreage
might mean very little if any better
prices. A small acreage should re—
sult in immediately higher prices for
the reason that the surplus crop has
been heavily drawn upon and the
world is getting down to pretty
close adjustment on this crop.

, RYE

\ The early part of last week rye
showed an inclination to follow the
trend of wheht but before the clos-
ing day there was a change and
prices started upward. At Detroit the
market at the end of the week Was
$1.05 while the market at Chicago
was unsuccessful in reaching the
level of'Monday, March 6. Renewed
buying on a fairly large scale for ex-
port did much towards putting new
life in the grain. The Russian re-
lief announced last week a purchase
of 650,000 bushels of seed rye for
that country. Cash No. 2 is $1.02 at
Chicago and $1.04 at Detroit.

1 50,000 Serious Accidents in the United States

NO WISE man will take the chance 'of driving an automobile whether it be a Ford' or a Pack-
ard, whether it be an old car Or new car, without carrying automobile insurance to pro-
tect against liability. We have had experience in adjusting liability claims for seven'years.
Our adjusters and managers have handled every claim so that no judgment has been rend-
ered in excess of the amount carried in our policy. The stock rate to cover liability‘alone on
a Buick car is $30.00 per year 3 for a full coverage collision policy the cost is $104 or $134.00
without fire or theft. Compare this with our low rate. - . ' r ‘

In 1921 the Ciﬁnens’ Mutual Automobile Insurance Company paid $100,139.34 for~lia-
bility claims. Among them were paid the following claims against the policy holders men-

,The abOve are a few of the serious [claims this company has paid and by writing a” large
volume of business our company is able to make a very low rate in‘ comparison with old line

companies [and yet our attention has'been called to agnumber Of'cases during. the past few A

years where people have allowed their. insurance to drop because'the car was getting a little
older saying they would take out insurance when they purchased a. new car. Remember you
are just as'liable to'lliave an accident, in which: someperson is injured, with an 1 old car as
with a new one. Therefore you should keep irfsured and when you purchase .a new car the
policy will automatically cover same unless  is of greater horsepower in which case you
shOuld send the old policy in to the company," 13an the difference and get the larger car insur-
ed. Our company has had the first pick of the careful autOmobile owners and we aim to car-
ry insurance at cost plus safety. I l ' ' ’ H l ‘
