Nature seems to have provided ex- eeptional means for reducing the baby hood-the helpless period-of the birds to minimum. thereby decreasing the likelihood of their destruction by their several natural enemies. This safe guard lies chiefly in the enormous eaf- Ing capacity of the newly matched hlfas, three or four nestlings keeping both parent birds busy from daylight until dark stuffing their uplifted and gaping mouths. This large censump- uon of food results in like prodigious ana rapid growth and development, the young birds testing their wings in night from the nest but a few short weeks after hatching.

TAFT ADMINISTRATION
. CAUSES UNEAS|NfSS
ATTITUDE TOWARDS CORPORA
TIoNs CAUSE OF uNcERTAlN-
TY OF MARKETS.
Feature of New York Market Last
Week Was the General Shrink
age of Prices.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Violent fiuc-
tuations in the stock market last week
were evidence of perturbation of spec
ulative sentiment to degree not man
listed for many months previously.
The most generally accepted opinion
as to its cause was the danger OF
collision between the law and corpor-
atoms The influence of this sub
ject was increased by the tone of
Washington dispatches attributing to
the administration plans for severe
measures against the trusts. The SEN
sational nature of some of these re-
ports brought forth an official state
ment from the White House which
affirmed the attention outlined in the
presidents special message. The
markets became somewhat quieter af-
ter that.
There remains a telling of anxiety
over the condition that may result
from supreme court action in favor Of
the government in the American To-
bacco and Standard Oil cases.
The almost entire lack of supporting
measures for the first of the week
was believed to be due to the eX-
tensive distribution of last years
Accommodations which had been effec-
ted and to the withdrawal of organi-
zed market support which followed
Lenders of money were dissatisfied
with the position of loans secured
by pooled and manipulated stocks,
owing to the warning examples of the
Columbus and Hooking Coal collapse,
and the Rock Island furry. The re-
adjustment of the credit situation
prompted by this consideration had
much to do with the upset in the
stock market. An organized bear
party become active in the market
and it's necessities from uncovered
short contracts made an effective rail-
lying factor.
Some degree of trade and industrial
reaction was admitted, partly as
cause and partly as effect of depres-
sion in the stock market.
The extra dividend declared on
United States steel stock and the
favorable earnings statement of that
corporation, was not ignored, but as
past, rather than future influences,
they lacked notable effect in the stock
market
The steps taken toward closer as
sociation of copper companies was re-
garded as probably preliminary to a
comprehensive merger, but the restric-
ton of the scope of measures to the
lines within which common control
already existed fell short of specula-
tive authorization

to be considered. There are those who

AS matter of fact. Americas coun-
try roads are SO VIGOROUSLY bad that
it costs more to haul ton of wheat
from farm to market than to ship that
ton from New York to Liverpool
Americas country roads are so bad
that it costs the American farmer %
cents to haul ton, when it costs the
or the German farmer only from to
cents for the same haul You, Mr..
Town Man, and you, Mr.. Farmer, pay
for the unnecessary waste of those
bad roads, the town man by extra cost
of what he eats, the farmer by les
sened profits on what he sells. The
same heason explains why the town
man pays $1.25 in spring for potatoes
which cost from so to IS cents in the
autumn.
If you want to know what bad roads
cost the country as a whole, keep in
mind that American farmers are pay
ing % cents a ton for hauling when
European farmers are paying from 7
merce report shows that the railroads
yearly haul $265, 900 900 towns of farm
produce, and that the average haul
from farm to market for the whole
country is nine and a fraction miles.
Put the cost of hauling at a round 81
a ton for the nine miles and you have
the cost of hauling farm produce at a
round half billion dollars a year Half
that cost is waste, solely owing to bad
roads.
Look squarely at the facts.
Two hundred and fifty million dol
lars year wasted on bad roads, which
the farmer and consumer jointly pay,
The charge to haul wheat from New
York to Liverpool, 300 miles, is 35
cents per pushed. The charge to haul
a bushel of wheat from farm to market,
on wheat at water fronts, cents
bushel a year Do good roads con-
Germ you?
Total up the whole cost of bad roads,
the waste on haul, the storage at
water fronts, the extra price paid for
food, owing to Scant markets in spring
and you have an expense bill of
billion dollars a year against bad roads,
or, on basis of SOOOO,OOO population,
a tax of $3.50 a year, which every
man, woman and child pays for bad
roads.
The result of bad roads are yearly
tolls of $3.50 against every person
who eats farm produce That yearly
waste would build 100000 miles of
AL macadam roads every year; or in
ten years would turn every country
road into such a highway as the
Romans famous Appian Way, basing
the cost at the very highest average of
$4,000 a mile. Though macadam roads
sometimes exceed that figure, owing
to special difficulties of swamp or
bridge work, on easy grades near the
source of the rock bed the average
has come as low as $4,000; in New
Jersey, for instance

the result to farmer and consumer?

Cost of Bad Roads

Two hundred and fifty million dollars

year. This means a tax of $3.50 on

hundred and seventy-five thousand
people out of seven million cannot read
or write: in four good-road states out
of six million population there are
twenty thousand illiterates.
Do good roads concern you? If you

is a fairly safe guess that you know
something about bad roads, even if
YOU do not know and have never
Glanced to cross the seven per cent
of improved roads of the total two
million miles of highway in the United

But if you are a city dweller, whose
use of the highways consists chiefly
of the street railway, does the good

question is best answered by asking
another When the price of wheat
goes up from 20 cents to $1.30 bushel
end the price of potatoes from 50 cents
to 1925, and the price of bread from

facts concern you? If they do, then

you know why it is possible to corner
the market in wheat? First of all, be-
cause wheat is scarce-the demand
growing faster than supply; but sec
Ondarily, because, owing TO the con-
ditiOn of the roads, it is possible for
spectators to get possession of the
whole years crop of wheat. The west
is the great granary of the wheat sup
ply today; and in the west wheat
must be rushed to market in the clear,
dry autumn days when the prairie
roads are hard as flint. If the farmer
held his wheat over, past the dry
weather, in the most of counties he
simply could not deliver during late
autumn rains or early spring break
up when roads are a churn of mud
The result is, for three months after
each crop, there is a glut of wheat at
elevator, railroad, water front. A large
proportion of the crop goes in storage
These storage charges amount in a
grain center like Chicago to as much
Minnesota's wheat crop. storage
charges mount up to $5,00O,O 900; on the
two Dakotas, to twice as much, and so
for every grain area on the continet.
The farmer does not pay those storage
charges at water front. The specu-
lator does nOt-he adds those charges
