Y PROF|T-SHAR|NG
ACRES t,tLu FARMER
$4,000 PER ANNUM
Ohioan Who Took His Employees
in With Him rs Partners Salts
fed With Success That He Has
Achieved

CLEVELAND, Nov. 27..--Martin L
Ruetenik is proving that profit-shar.
ing truck farming pays, by making
$4,000 year clean profit from
twelve acres. He has made that sum
ten years straight. He says his sue.
cess Is due to his plan of sharing
profits with the men who help him
work his model farm.
His success has been so notable thai
, George w. Perkins, a director in both
the Steel Trust and the international
Harvester Company, who left J. P
Morgan's banking house to study prof.
it-sharing schemes for the benefit oil
working people, has investigated
Ruetenik's methods. Here is Ruete.
nik's story:
Ten years ago, after having bought
out brother with whom I had rent
ed this eighteen-acre place from my
father and farmed 1t for a time, ]
conceived the idea of making the ex-
ira help partners with me in the bus
mess Of raising truck. 1 invoiced the
land and improvements at just what
they cost me-$7000. 1 told my me
they could invest from $500 to $500
year after they had $4,000 in
shares.
II added all improvements and cost
of operation to the value of the place
each year and paid prifits on that
basis. When a man had been here
one year l paid him dividends on his
salary even though he didn't invest
a cent. The dividends have ranged
from 80 to 40 per cent every year
right from the start. Some years they
are higher.
Under this system I have seen the
place grow in value from $1,000 to
$4,000. l have twelve acres under
cultivation, 2h acres being under
glass for growing lettuce, tomatoes
and cucumbers at a time when they
bring the highest price. Outdoors ]
raise pie plant, celery and asparagus
Dividends are declared every SIX
months. My gross business is now
$4,000 year. I have eighteen men
working for me, and ten of them are
sharing the profits

The western land shows in the east
are drawing large crowds. They prob
ably are not drawing the percentage
of the fashionable 400 that the horse
shows draw but a percentage of peo-
interest in what Is being displaye
and what 1t means to the country
The land show attendance in Chica 60
last week was from twelve to twenty
five thousand daily. For every single
feature of the exhibit that is of in
terest to a single visitor the publicity
is multiplied many fold, for the eye
witness is himself a booster and
passes the good word along

BASKET MAKING FAST
BECOMING LOST ART
Piauti Indians of California Do
Not Realize Money-Making
Possibilities in Ancient Art
They Have Forsaken

PORTERVILLE, Cal, Nov. 81. -
Basket making among the Piauti In
dams, who form the majority of the
small remaining population of the
Tule Indian Reservation, is rapidly be-
coming a lost art and the few bas-
kets now made by the older squaws
of the tribe command fancy price
and are difficult to get. Some won
derful examples of the older work re-
main in the hands of the older In
dams, who refuse to part with it, as
there is ceremonial significance at
tached to some of it.
A. P. Edmundson, agent in charge
of the reservation, is doing his best
to induce the younger women to learn
basketry and has succeeded in induc
ing a half dozen of the girls to take
up the work. None of them show the
skill of the old workers, however, who
often started their play with imple-
ments of basket making.
Good specimens of the sun" bas-
kets, which are the most complicated
design to weave, are no longer to be
had, and not more than half a dozen
specimens remain on the reservation
The last of these baskets sold brought
SIS for perfect ones. Younger In
dams seem to fail utterly to appreciate
the money-making possibilities of the
basket craft and prefer to spend a
few weeks each year picking fruit, or
joining the other Indians in an ex-
cursion to the hop fields, while they
remain in idleness for the remainder
of the year.
At the present rate, in a few more
years basketry among the Piautis will
be another added to the list of lost
handicrafts.

Those who considered that Roose-
welt had gone into retirement and
would never again figure as factor
in national politics will have to re-
wise their estimates in the light of
the current comment that has followed
his recently published editorial in the
outlook on the regulation of the
trusts His idea that we must "s5op
cropping" and declare for some fixed
policy is one that is being widely com
mended and from sources that have not
recently been known to favor the
Roosevelt theories. The general pub
lie is reaching the place where it is
tired of glitterlng generalities in the
way of finding fault and has begun
to demand something definite in or
der for business organizations to b
able to see what is sure ground for
them to occupy in the development of
a legitimate business Roosevelt is
vpicing a very popular theory for
meeting the present eXigencies and
his contribution to the discussions of
the day make him a very conspicuous
figure again.
