BUSINESS EXPANSION

Following the persistent rumors
that have been afoat here that
some new developments were
under contemplation in business
circles in Roy, comes the an
nouncement that the Goodman
Mercantile Co., organized a little
ever year ago, and which has
made such a phenomenal success,
has taken in new stockholders,
increased it's working capital and
added backing in the enterprise
that reads well up in the six
figures" class.
The new stockholders are
Messrs. D. Gottlieb, l.. K. Gott-
lieb and n. S. Kleiner of Trini-
dad, Colo, and Mr.. l.. Krauss of
Portland, Oregon, all men of
large means and established
standing in the business world.
Their investment here is highly
complimentary to Mr.. Goodman
and his management of the ori
ginal BUSINESS, as among his new
associates are numbered former
employers and men who have al
lied themselves with him on ac-
count of old friendships and long
business association ard who
know him to be a man not only of
superior business ability but also
of sterling integrity.
Their Investment here also
means great things for Roy in
the future. Capital does not
seek investment even through
personal preference unless the
prospects of the town warrant it,
and we take it as added proof of
the claim we have long cham
pioned, that Roy and vicinity are
in line for rapid advancement and
the material assistance; in her
progress that the great railroads
and constructive enterprises can
give a town that helps itself.
These men, who have constantly
finger on the pulse of progress
in the West, know that things are
in store for US that are not yet
apparent to the casual observer.
At a called meeting of the di-
rectors held recently, Mr.. N. S.
Klejner was elected secretary
} and also to place on the board
. of directors, and he is now in the
city taking an active part in the
growing enterprise.
The extension and enlargement
of the business that has long been
under contemplation, will begin
: at once, and the next year will
show even greater progress than
:, has been made in the past history
, of the enterprise.

Keep Record of Your Cows,

Every farmer who keeps a dairy
herd should know, with reasonable &C.
curacy, how much milk and butte1fat
each COW in his herd is producing;
this can only be ascertained by reg

COW and testing 1t for butterfat The
various breeders and COW testing as
sociations that have been formed in
many localities in this state during re-

ice by helping farmers to keep records

VARYING Prices or Lobsters.

Lovers of lobster ought to get a lot
of comfort out of a recent paragraph
in the famous old Kennebec Journal,
which says that the crustacean are
"dirt cheap" However, the Journal
adds, "they are not as low in price
as in the old days, when they sold
six for Is cents, but the price has
fallen to 16 cents a pound, which is
decidedly different from the figures
that were being quoted early in the
spring. Then they were being bought
alive for so cents a pound from the
fishermen, and the price in Boston
and New York scared to 80 cents
pound, and, in some cases, beyond.

knowledge of the causes which de-
termine the supply of products and
the demand for them is the basis OF
good Judgment in marketing farm
products. 1t would be an easy matter
for farmer to make charts showing
the trend of prices. Secure cross
section paper at book store. Let
the vertical distance between lines
represent value, cents per bushel for
example, and the horizontal distance
represent time. The unit of time may
be the day, the week or the month.
On the line corresponding to a given
date for which you have price quota
ton make a dot or a cross as many
lines up from the bottom as there are
cents per bushel in the price quota
ton. When this has been done for
number of dates the dots or cross
es may be connected by lines.
Sources of Information.
There are many sources of informa-
ton on market conditions. Govern.
ment reports, reports of chambers of
CONNER &c, newspapers, special trade
pasers, such rs the FIgin Dairy Re-
port, agricultural papers, special mes
sages, ETC., may be mentioned as
most important.
The Crop Reporter, published month.
ly by the United States department
of agriculture, shows the conditions
of crops, the numbers of each class
OF animals on farms, the. high and low
prices of the principal classes of farm
products, and much general informa.
tion needed by the farmer. The Year
book of the department of agriculture
contains statistics of production and
prices for series of years. This the
t2rmer should have at hand in order
that his judgments, which form the
basis of present action, may be in the
light of past results.
The farmers should demand more
of the government than is now done

which to pass judgment upon the
probable future condition of the mar.

Alfalfa Cuttings Necessary.

A remarkable thing about alfalfa
is it's perennial youth. When one
growth is removed, another one comes
on Immediately to take it's place, and
so on continually as long as moisture
and temperature conditions are favor
able.
But if the first growth remains
while the second one starts, then, evi.
IDENTIFY, the second suffers, when the
first and second growths are devel.
oping at the same time. At any rate,
says a North Dakota substation re-
port, the alfalfa crop does not remain
thrifty unless it is cut at proper in
tervals. If the first cutting is made
too late, then the new shoots of the
second growth are cut off and the
plants are injured.

farmers with regard to the amount
of information they possess. Mar
ket forecasts are more important to
the farmers of the United States than
weather forecasts. The government
should station price specialists in all
the large markets. 1t should have
specialists gathering information re-
garding the forthcoming supply of the
various classes of farm products
throughout the territory with which
American farmers compete, and 1t
should get the inform alton to the far
mers with the same dispatch that the
weather reports are SEM, This would
give information to the farmer at the

Value of the Daily Paper.
Each morning the daily paper
should bring the farmer statement
of market prices of the previous day.
on all the important markets. This
information, in the mind of the farmer
who can readily learn the cost OF
transporting the product from his To-
cal station to the central market, puts
him in a strong position when he has
occasion to deal with a local buyer.
The farm paper should be looked
to for carefully prepared articles on
market conditions, crop supplies and
conditions. The agricultural paper
should give information which will
enable the farmer to know the signi
ficance of the daily quotation. Those
papers giving special attention to crop
reporting are most valuable as an aid
in foretelling changes in prices.
Farmers operating on a large ecale
sometimes find it profitable to Feep
in telegraphic or telephone connec-
ton with the central market to which
their products are sent. For the ma
Iority of farmers this is too expensive
for general use. The cost to each far
mer can be reduced to {. very small
item, however, by cooperating to Sc
cure dispatches from the central mar
kets. This has proved practical in
the marketing of all kinds of perish
able fruits and vegetables. The more
uncertain the market the more I'M
portant is the special message
The marketing of farm products has
received too little attention from the
state and federal experts on agricul-
ture. The time is ripe for progress In
this line. The farmer should make
his wants for information known tt
the authorities in charge of agricul
tural research. There is no class OF
men more anxious to be of service
than the scientists in the United
States department Of agriculture and
the state experiment stations. 1t is
not always possible, however, for
these men to see the problem as the
farmer sees it. The farmer should |
ask for the information he wants |

Industrial Board Helps Employers.

According to a ruling by the state
Industrial board, the defense OF the
fellow-servant rule is not taken away
by the workers compensation law
from employers of mere than four
persons if these persons are not en-
ployed at the same place.
This means that if an employer has
several gangs of men working at diff
ferent places, each gang consisting
of less than four persons, he is
not deprived of this defense If one OF
the employees is injured
The question was brought up by q
lumber company in the state which
operates a number of yards, at eact
of which less than four men are en-
ployed, although the total mum. yer OF
persons in the employ of the com
pany far exceeds four.

law, which was designed to protect
farmers, was worded ambiguously-
