new IMPL EMENT
COMBINE, MAYBE
DECREASE OF BUSINESS IN
FARM MACHINERY.
Dealers, However, Say Trust Is Not
Responsible, and Charge the Fall
ing Off to Last Years Poor Crop
Warehouses Filled with Old Stock.

Poor crops last year and new meth
DDS OF business of the harvester trust
are given as causes of the reduced
trade this year in harvesters, mowers,
rakes and agricultural implements.
Railroad traffic men have shifted a
new combine as the cause Of the re-
duced freight shipments. Agricultural
implement houses say that the crop
failure is the trouble.
The real reason Of the slack traffic
in this line of goods,'' said a rail-
road man, "lies in the fact that
the harvester companies contem-
plate a vast com bine and the retire
ment Of all the present machines and
the exclusive manufacture of har-
features of each machine now in the
market. In the long run this will not
affect the railroads as the farmers will
have to have harvesters as long as
they raise crops.
It was said on implement row today
| that so far as the agricultural firms
were concerned there was no combine
for affecting the market. The harves-
| ter, mower and hayrake business was
combined several months ago. At that
| time the National Harvester Company
of America combined it's local houses,
with one exception, at Merriam Park.
Naturally, some freight lines are af-
i fected as Shipments We're formerly dis
tributed to different houses over diff
ferent roads, while under the central
1 warehouse plan single lines would be
| favored.
One implement dealer said: eve

stock. The warehouses were loaded

CRITICIzEs DIR. POTTER
Rev. j. S. Montgomery on Bishops Dedi-

Rev. J. S. Montgomery on Bishops Dedl-
cation of Saloon.
Bishop Potter's sanctioning the saloon
known as the Subway Tavern, in New
York, was criticized by Rev. ]. S. Mont
gomery Of Wesley M. e. church in an
interview after the service last evening.
He said:
II am surprised and amazed that the
bishop of a great Christian church would
thus compromise not only his station and
high position, but the great sense of pro-
priety which all good people feel.
IF our boys ever fall, they will not
fall in the dive on the shady avenue, but
they will fall in the places where the
ceilings are gilded the floors polished,
and the walls painted and mirrored.
II say that this is only masquerade
and a deceit. Even the foes Of the Chris
tan church will feel the sense of disgrace
because of the great downward step which
the good bishop has taken. The fact
that bishop dedicates a saloon with pray
er and holy ceremony is utterly incongru-
