His Biggest Interest.

A man in another state was once asked which of his severa investments paid him the highest rata Of interest, and he promptly replied that it was the dollar he paid on his subscription to the local paper.
 One d. 1 wanted to buy a COW he said, aud was intending to make a trip of about fifteen miles to get one that 1 knew was for sale at certain price. But just before starting 1 happend to pick up the local paper and no- tlced that nearby neighbor was offering one of the same breed at a dollar less than the other one He really sold it to me for $4 less. l saved a long thirty mile drive and S4 in cash, because I had paid dollar for the paper.
 This was just one instance, but as a matter of fact I saved bott time and money in fifteen o, twenty different ways during the year, and all through read ing the ads in paper that had cost me but one dollar a year. ] consider that dollar the best in vestment l ever made, and I am investing as regularly as the year rolls round, and alway with the most satisfactory results.

FREE PORTS
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRO-
PRIATIONS.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development The
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products OF farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. If
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, a foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the ocean s
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion Of our ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water We
have in this nation 81 ports, of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $51,000,-
600 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately s50,0OO,000
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to wharf and discharge her cargo
free of any fee or charge
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which |
has for centuries laid a heavy hand /
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that of a free port
and none can be more easily and ef-
secured.

DARIUS

The neigh of a horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method of
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
If our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh of horse, the
bark Of dog or the bray of donkey,
it would be a great blessing and would
give our citizens a better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who flash swords
dripping In the blood of industry I'M
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into a political arena and
by clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the plow
and that their quarrels must be settled
In the back alleys Of civilization.
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1915-07-08
THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
of agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved. for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
buttons have spent $1S0,OO0,0OO in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
of agriculture.
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp of
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it. 1t is a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing, but does not be-
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
of the other. We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and COM
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
~
marketing side of our farm problems
also.
We cannot hope TO develop manu-
featuring by production of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan-
tile enterprises by the merchants load
ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricnl-
ture by Cutting the market with a
surplus of products.

THEMISTOCLES

When Themistocles whs asked by
his host at dinner party to enter.
tain the guests by playing the lutte. he
replied that he could not play de
fiddle, but that he could make SDall
town great city. We have In this
nation many politicians who are good
"fiddlers," but they cannot make Z
small town great city. We are over
run with orators who can play upon
the passions of the people, but they
can't put brick and mortar together.
We need builders.
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
glory of statesman Is to construct.
and that 1t Is better for man that he
should build q public highway than
that he should become Governor q =

THE LAYMAN'S DUTY

Bradstreets Vermont Report.

Bradstreets Burlington, Office re-
ports there appears to be an upward
tendency in orders received by the
state manufacturing. interests in GER
tain lines. With manufacturers of
overalls and garments this is true,
the increase coming mainly from
western points. Business in this
line from state retailers, however,
shows only moderate buying. Some
wooden mills report plants fully en-
ployed, this having been made pos
sible by orders received from for
eign countries. There is also noted
a continuance in the demand for ma
chinery from abroad and one of the
state machine plants reports suffi-
cient business abroad to keep pres
emit force employed into May next.
An improvement is also noted among
the knit goods manufacturers. Dur
ing the past week the active opera
lions in lumber camps have been
noted, this having been made pos
sible by the recent snow fall, which
has also given employment in small
way to labor in the large places.
The demand for foodstuffs continue
reasonably active. January business
is said to have some gain over that
QOue during the same mOHIH OIL d
year ago in these lines.
Reports to Bradstreets from the
United States at large indicate the
largest number of failures ever re-
corded in any month during the past
month. The records show an in
crease of six per cent over Deem
Der and of thirty-six per cent over
January of a year ago. OF the total
number given, two-thirds of the in
crease in number over a year ago
occurred in the South. January re-
port from SO cities regarding build
ing work that there was a decrease
of nineteen and four-tenths per cent
in number of permits, but loss of
only six per cent in the value of
such from the like period of a year
ago.
Some complaint is heard from tan
ners of leather regarding the slow
ing down in the receipts of hides.
The movement of furs is noted as
below normal, a comparatively quiet
market prevails, generally. Retail
merchants have had a fair business
as a result of clearance sales but
merchants are reported as buying in
a conservative manner. The past
week has noted a good trade at shoe
stores. Cold weather is needed to
make ice, although in a number of
places the full cut has already been
made and ice houses filed One in
petition in bankruptcy is
reported for the week and two volun-
tary ones were filed.
