SCRAPS OF PAPER

Tearing up scrap of paper last
summer threw large part of the
civilized world into the hands of
receiver. As the case then stood,
it was bankrupt. In no big CONNER
cial country-except the United
States-were foreign debts collect
ible; and even in the United States
the machinery for paying such
debts was thrown out of gear.
This meant that, for the time being,
vast quantity of scraps of paper
was in the same case with the Bel
gian Treaty In London alone, pa
per scraps-consisting of bills of
exchange-that had been worth two
and a half billion dollars the week
before were temporarily turned in
to so much wall paper.
The modern world subsists on
scraps of paper. You can take it in
your own case: For bit of paper
in the form of check you will la
Dor month or year; you Will
part with your land, your house,
your furniture, or almost any other
possession. If you take your check
to the bank all you get for it is
some other scraps of paper in the
form of bank notes or certificate
of deposit You are highly content
| to labor and economize for twenty
years if at the end of that time you
can procure some pieces of paper
| with the word Bond or Mort
gage printed on them.
You may 60 through life with the
| greatest success and satisfaction,
yet never touch a particle of tangi-
BILE wealth except the things you
consume, everything else you call
yours being evidenced only by a
piece of paper. The bank to which
you trust your precious scraps Of
paper possesses itself hardly any
thing save other pieces of paper.
In word you live by credit. The
intrinsic value of the bit of paper
you hand to the grocer is perhaps
one mill. For II he gives you flour,
sugar, or what not, because he has
faith in the promise to pay that
which is written or printed on 1t.
He takes It on credit. Every time
you take a check or bank note or
la Treasury certificate. you are ex-
tending credit-relying on prom
Use to pay. Cancel or discredit all
these multftudinous scraps of paper
and the business world would be
stricken as lifeless as the moon
| All its stores Of goods would hans
as so much immovable dead weigh,
lat least unit some other means o.
moving them was painfully evolved
The distinctive svmho, Of civil

A GREAT INVENTION FOR
SMALL FARMERS
.:--;5T;,5-5 4 - - z. ~.

Henry Ford's success is largely
attributed to the fact that he COM
menced anc stuck to making auto
mobiles at a price that enabled
many, instead of a few, people to
buy them.
Another Ford sensation is sched-
uled for the near future-an in
creased production of 1916 cars to
100000, with a reduction in price
to under $35O-possibly as low as
1925.
Still another revolutionizer pro-
missed is a simple tractor for farm
service to be sold for 5000 or less
A machine suited to the needs OF
the small farmer, that can be used
for general hauling, ploughing and
harvesting, offers prospects OF
economies incalculable in extent. 1t
will both cheaper and increase pro-
duction on the average farm, where
the cost of labor and of horseflesh
is a serious item of expense.
At the present time the motor
tractor, steam or gasoline, las ap-
Piled to agricultural adapted only
to farming on a large scale. 1t can
be used to advantage in the great
wheat fields of the northwest in
ploughing, reaping and threshing
but it's cost and it's size render its
use impracticable for the small
holder.
A small, cheap tractor will serve
thousands of farmers where the
huge machine of the present day
by its own limitations, serves only
few individuals under fixed con.
ditions.
Such a tractor as Mr.. Ford pro-
poses to manufacture should serve
all the purposes on the farm Of q
general motor in pumping, saving
grinding grain and cutting feed
| The first cost will be less than thai
Of good horse and the mafnten
ance will be much less, especially
when measured by its productive
powers.
In the mechanics of farming
