Dear MISS Fairfax.
To settle an argument would YOU
kindly tell what cOlors are used for
babies in sending out birth notices.

It is not important which color is

Does Book Farming Pay7

''There isn't anything to this
book farming" said an old
horny handed farmer in Henry
county to his son who had just
returned from taking the "Short
Course" at the Agricultural
College at Columbia a couple of
years ago. "Well, there may
not be, father, but all | ask
you to do is to let me plant ~
acres of corn this year and ham
die it as I want to; in the mean
time wei handle yours in the
old way if you think that $
best" With a good deal of
reluctance the old gentleman
agreed to the arrangement. In
the fall Of 1910 the son averaged

his 20 acres than the old gen.
tleman did on his and from that
day to this he has been a friend

Benefits From Good Roads.
BY L WILLIAMS.

BY WALTER WILLIAMS.
He who makes two miles of
good roads when there had been
only one is a benefactor Of the
commonwealth. The makers of
reads are the builders of states
and the makers Of better roads
are the builders of better states.
Above all questions social and
economic, interlaced into every
question, is the problem of trans
portation. The heaviest tax
which town resident and far
ner pay is the tax levied up
on town and country by bad
roads. Where by sane road
Improvement two loads of pro-
duce can be hauled instead Of
one, where trade territory is ex-
tended, where country and town
are brought closer together, the
benefits of good roads appear.
The rural population is falling
off in Missouri. The country
church is fading away. The rural
school lacks adequate support.
These are facts that confront
the state. Why are these
facts? Whatever other reasons
exist, certainly the lack of good
roads, the %inadequacy of means
Of transportation is a most po-
tent cause. The building OF
better roads has a social signifi-
canoe. 1t means strengthening
the rural church and school. 1t
means a more abundant rural
life.
The town and city are interest
ed equally with the country in
the building of good roads. Ag-
riculture is fundamental, basic,
Particularly in the Middle West
is this true. The cities and
towns depend in last analysis
for their prosperity upon the
country round about. What
bpnefits the rural community
makes more prosperous the
town. Good roads add 10 he
trade territory. They bring
the population closer together.
They put the farm home next
door to the city shop to the
benefit of both,
Good roads produce diyi-
dends for every community. The
good road is an Investment
never an expense, The div.
idends it produces are shared
by every resident. Some public
improvements may directly ben
eft only a few.
The improvement of the pub.
lie road benefits directly every
one. Bad roads increase fol-
all the cost of living and lesser
everywhere its comforts. The
dividends paid by good roads
are real in a financial sense
The towns and countries which
have spent most largely fol-
good roads are the towns anC
counties which have increased
most largely in population
wealth and all material re
source. The dividends r rea
in other and better than finan
cial sense. For with the i'm
provement of the road comes i'm
provement in the social, edu
cational and religious advantage
And each nan shares also il
this largest and best dividend.

DESCRIBES LONG STRUGGLE
AGAINST BEEF COMBINE
Ferdinand Sulzberger, Bowed
Down by Old Age, Con-
tinues Story

CHICAGO, Feb. 29.-Declaring that
year In and year out he had fought
the beef combine, that ever since ne
started in the packing business, in
1868, he had borne the brunt OF The
combined attacks OF allied interests.
Ferdinand Sulzberger, " years or
age, the real veteran OF the packing
industry, today continued his story
before the Jury in Judge Carpenters
court where the ten men, alleged
heads Of the beef trust, are on trial
Il fought the other concerns at
every turn, declared the veteran.
when asked IL he had not sought
agreements that would protect his ter
ritory. We held many conferences,
and | opposed them in conference as
well as in the market. lost many
battles. received many scars and
my power was weakened by the fail
ure Of those considered loyal to
me-"
Then he described some OF the COM
promises he was forced to enter into
when he found himself on the defense
before the allied interests of the liz
dustry.
With the CLEAN OF battle still in Ills
eyes the veteran told how he had been
brought into the conference in 1900,
when the Veeder dream for a billion
dollar meat combine was being plan
ned His company was to be merged
with the others. The moment the
scheme failed, and he saw there was
a chance for him 10 operate alone,
Sulzberger declared he again took the
field, single-handed, to fight for bus
mess against the Armour, Swift, MOI
ris and Cudahy interests.
I'VE made all the money we could
We charged high prices when we
thought we could get them and We
lowered our prices when business
grew slack. Yes. changed my plans
often. / varied prices to suit The
needs OF the moment. Often / chang
ed my whole plan OF business at
night when my competitors were
asleep and ! thought could get an
advantage over them" he said
Then he told OF the first serious
blow that was dealt his company.
which forced him to agree 10 a re-or-
sanitation. He learned that Frederick
Joseph, vice-president OF the Schwarz-
schild and Sulzberger Co.. had sold
his interest to Edward Tilden and
Louis II. Swift, his most bitter rivals.
This interest was sufficient to pre-
vent him from carrying on the bust
ness as he desired.
The Josephs we're discharged ahd
a reorganization perfected in which
Tilden and Swift got non-voting stock
Sulzberger declared that he used
the same general methods OF comput'
ing costs and selling prices as those
described by employees OF the allied
concerns. He declared. however, that
he never figured on a fictitious basis
by disallowing credits 10 his beef de-
partment for hides and other by=pru.
ducts of cattle.
