BuSinPSS Men In Politics

The presidential campaign year of
1916 bids fair to be more than ever be-
fore year of the business man in
politics. Ii is in the power of Ameri-
can business men TO make next year
memorable one in that respect. More
than in any year since 1896, when
Grover Cleveland and his Free-Trade
majority in Congress We're repudiated
and William Mckinley and a Congress
Protectionist in both branches came
into control Of national affairs and
brought with them a degree of pros
perity in wonderful contrast with the
Free-Trade conditions Of the preced-
ing four years, the year 1916 calls for
the most active and energetic effort on
the part of American business men.
They can make ii their year, if they
will. They can exercise a power i'm
American politics that Will prove as a
whole; TO all labor. all industry, all
business. Will they exert this potent
ial force? All signs indicate that they
will.
But if business men are to show
their strength in next years presiden-
tial and congressional campaign. they
have no time 10 lose. They must be-
gin right now. They must get busy.
1t will not do to wait until next sum-
mer, or even until next spring. No
time should be lost in preparing the
way for getting business into politics.
If the business men put il off until next
summer or next spring they are very
apt to find that the politicians have
got things too far fixed TO be unfixed.
The first thing for business men to
get busy about is 10 plan for going in
person as delegates TO the national
convention and congressional district
conventions of 1916. They should have
a strong influence in determining who
are to be the nominees for the presi-
dency and for seats in Congress. They
should actively seek the honor of rep
resenting their own districts in these
Don't send a dummy. Go yourself
yes. Better have a dummy to look af-
ter business in your own Office than
have dummy represent you in the
and district conventions.
Business has rights which politi-
clans are bound to respect" Let that
be the watchword for next year.

Out With Him

Chicago's Chief of Police, Charles
Z. Healey addressing a conference of
his subordinates, took occasion to deal
blow at John Barleycorn, who has
been "hail fellow, we'll met" with the
police force for so many years. John
Barleycorn," he said, ''is the worst
enemy we have. He is a mocking
liar, seditious scoundrel, a traitor
and poltroon, and no man who
wears the city's star may keep him
company. 1t is easy enought for you
to do good work when John Barley
corn isn't with you. He cobwebs your
brain, he dulls your eyes, he slackens
your nerves, and whispers false
whispers into your mind. SO black
ball your friend who is lot a friend,
or else you may find yourself, too,
on the outside of the department with
your friend. Raus nit him."

Figure Cost OF Bad Roads

American farmers have begun to
figure the matter of roads a little diff
ferently than in former years." saws
President Claude S. Briggs of the
Brlggs-Detroiter company of Detroit.
when the good-roads movement was
in its infancy they used to ask them
selves How much will good roads
cost me?' Thanks to the intelligent
propaganda of the daily and farm pa
pers as well as other agencies farm
ers are now asking themselves How
much are bad roads costing me?'
According TO government experts
the cost of hauling ton of farm pro-
duce mile varies from seventeen
cents in localities where fairly hard
gravel roads exist to thirty-fve cents
a ton in parts of the country where
the roads are in poor condition. On
the other hand, in those European
countries where hard roads prevail
the cost is as low as nine cents a ton
a mile. The department of agricul-
ture has estimated that the total
haulage expense to American farm
ers for year is approximately $780,
100000. And every dollar of this
sum comes from the farmers pocket,
for he is the one great producer who
cannot add the haulage expense to his

Obituary-Tower

Dale Tower, the youngest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Schuyler Tower was

up until the time of his death. Two
brothers, George and Roger, survive

Funeral services were held from the
house of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Youngs

Apple Shippers Meeting


The National Apple Shippers AS
ISOLATION will hold its annual meet
ing IN Chicago this month.
This association is made up of the
receivers and handlers of apples
throughout the country.
The meetings are vitality interest
ing, being devoted chiefly to improv-
ing the conditions by which apples
can be handled from the producer TO
the consumer.
Picking, packing, handling, trans
portation, selling and storing are the
principal subjects considered.
The association also issues a crop
report or crop estimates for the bene-
fit of the members. These estimates
have provoked much criticism be-
cause they did not agree with the
government estimates, and the crit
icisms have often gone to the ex-
tent of charging the association of
doctorlng the report of the condition
Of the apple crop in order to give
them an undue advantage over the
producer of apples, this is not the
case. The men who compose this or
ganization are men of honor and in
tegrity and would not countenance
such a procedure for a single moment.
They show as much zeal and loyal
ty in giving correct information as to
general conditions relating to the APP
pie as the producer or the consumer.
These men are high class and to i'm
pugn improper motives to them is
hurtful and wholly improper. 1t would
be well for the growers of apples to
attend this Chicago meeting and meet
these men face to face. And we be-

Il believe that if every farmer
would take pencil and paper and fig
ure the amount in tons Of the produce
and stock he markets in year, null
tiply it by the number of miles he
must haul it to market, multiply the
total by 20, which is about the aver
age hauling cost a ton a mile, and
then consider that he could save near
~ half of this amount every year if
he had concrete or other hard roads
all the way to his market, he would

"And this actual dollars and cents
saving doesn't take into consideration
the many advantages of good roads
in bringing neighbors closer together,
in making it easier and pleasanter to

with wider interest in better

Practically all small fruits do best
in partial shade, hence will thrive in
an orchard, planted between the trees.
But do not expect your orchard and

fruits exhaust the soil the same as
crops that are grown in the field or

Where an orchard occupies site
that is adjacent to a large body of
water, the Importance of relatively
high elevation largely disappears. To
be factor in the matter, however, a
body of water must be of sufficient
size and depth to have an appreciate
influence on the local climate. Be-
cause the water warns up in the
spring more slowly than the atmos-
phere, it acts in effect as a refrigera-
tor, making the temperature in its
immediate vicinity colder than it is
at points somewhat distant from it.
For this reason, vegetation within
the zone of this influence advances
more slowly in the spring than it
does outside of that zone. The tend
ency is for the blossoming of peach
trees situated within the zone to be
delayed until latter the season Of
spring frosts is past.
