Feeding Time.

A guide in Venice, discussing
with an American tourist the sights
which should be seen by a stranger,
said as if without fear of contradic-
ton:
"0f course you will want to see
the Lion of st. Mark, sir"
"Yes, l s'pose so," replied the
tourist, with mild enthusiasm.
"About what time do they feed
him ?"

How Morgan Gets Results.
washington Herald.)


A treasury official who has just re-
turned from New York tells story
Illustrative of the effort of j. Pier
pont Morgan, the New York financier
to stop the financial depression.
A Jewish manufacturer had been
operating his business for some time
on credit. His notes fell due early In
November, and he went to a bank to
get them renewed. Tho he had been a
large depositor and was known to be
a man OF scrupulous honesty the bank
declined to grant him an extension, in
sisting that he should pay his notes on
the day they fell due. This was i'm
possible, and bankruptcy stared him in
the face. He went to friend and
asked him what he should do.
"No bank will loan you cent said
his adviser Il have it. Go to Mr..
Morgan and state your case to him. "
ooh, he won't do anything for me, .
the manufacturer responded hopeless
ly But I'll try, anyhow"
Mr.. Morgan received him courteously
and listened to his statement. Then he
turned to his phone and rang up the
bank
'Mr So and So is in my office" he
said, land tells me you have declined
to grant him an extension of his notes.
1t is just such people as you who are
making the condition serious. Unless
those notes are renewed. / shall make
it my business to ruin YOU
Then the financier turned to his
caller.
az think" he said "you will find the
bank willing to extend your notes"

Be Quiet and Be Good.
(Philadelphia Record.)

An application on small scale is to
be made in Central America Of prin-
ciple with which the greater powers
have merely dallied: the little world
between the southern boundary of Mex
leo and the American isthmus is to be
put under regime of international ar
bitration. 1t would be difficult to point
out any region on this earth where the
conditions for the success of the ex-
pertinent about to be made have hith-
erto been less promising.
The pacific and purely diplomatic in
PREVENTION of this government and of
Mexico was fully justified by the con-
dition to which Central America. tho
blessed with an abundance of natural
wealth, had been brought by inces-
SAINT strife. The Intervention has re-
ceived further justification by the out
come Of the Central American peace

and at the same time stimulate ship
ping buyers to keener activity.
Countrymen are in position to
resist the pounding tactics of buyers
to great extent, and it is surely time
they were asserting this power by
saner marketing of their supplies. 1t
must not be construed, however, that
hogs in good fat condition for slaugh-
ter should be held back very long for
the purpose of forcing prices to
sharply higher level. This would likely
act as boomerang on the owners
Such hogs should be marketed as
conditions may warrant. but the
healthy light weights should be kept
off the market, according to most
traders on the selling side. 1t is gem
orally their belief that if the above
policy is adhered to producers VIII
witness more even market. as well
as secure better prices for their OFFER
ings. The plan is worth trying at
least, and the farmer is surely IN
position to make the experiment.

The Hoo Situation.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-Producers of hogs
have not been displaying the good
judgment in marketing their supplies
that was so apparent all last winter
For some time they have not only
crowded a sagging market heavily, but
also sacrificed a big number of young,
healthy swine which were in ripe con-
dition to take on weight rapidly UNI
der ordinary care. Under such condi-
tons it is only logical that buyers have
been enabled to pound the price range
hard. 1t has been case of the coun-
trymen playing right into the hands
Of the packers
Commission men who have made
the selling of hogs their chief business
for many years express great sur
prise that owners of hogs persisted in
landing enormous supplies on the mar
ket when conditions warranted more
moderate runs. Rejecting this policy
were the receipts of the best part of
one-half million hogs on the Chicago
market alone during the two weeks
ending last Saturday, this total being
the largest for any two succeeding
weeks in about two years. During
that time the market has been the
most erratic and unsatisfactory in the
memory of the Oldest traders here.
Buyers in the meantime made big raids
on the market and put values on
comparatively low basis.
Well posted statesmen say it is time
that the producers of hogs sit up and
think There is surely no cause for
wild stampede to get to market with
hogs at this time. The farmers as 81
whole were never in better financial
condition, and at the same time were
never in better position to keep in
close touch with market conditions.
The question naturally arises, Why
are burdensome supplies of hogs
thrown upon dropping market, when
by a little patience and forethought
prices could be held at a better level
thru moderate marketing? This is
questions that countrymen would do
we'll to ponder over. A good business
man never dumps great quantities of
goods on a low and weak market when
he can possibly avoid doing so. Is
there any valid reason for farmers fol-
lowing an opposite course of action?
Statesmen who keep in close touch
with the market situation say there
Is no p1duSlDlS lSdSOii WHY AAooo oliOIiN
not be selling on $500 basis if re-
ceipts were better regulated. In fact,
those who believe that prices will go
to very much lower level are greatly
in the minority. Buyers however, are
of the opinion that values will tumble
to the $500 level again. But that is
their stock in trade. The future hog
market is more in the keeping of the
producers now in that industrial con-
ditions should be on the mend from
now on This means broader outlet
for hog meats. Better consumptive
demand will make the packers more
anxious to secure their quota of hogs
