EVERY FARM A FACTORY

Every farm is factory. In ev-
cry state there are thousands of these
factories which need our best thought
and effort TO make them productive"
These words from the title page of
pamphlet issued from the Agricul-
tural Extension Department of the
international Harvester Company are
full Of significance not alone for the
farmer, but for the business man of
the city. or town, for it is automatic
that the opportunity of the town lies
IN the country, as the pamphlet re-
ferred to also points out.
"The town is built on farm profits;
on what farmers produce in excess of
their home needs. Towns are places
to store and distribute the worlds
surplus products through the chan
nels of commerce. There is but one
road to permanent city buiding-that
, road leads to the farm. When the
harvest fields smile, towns wax fat,
and factories increase the pay roll"
Every future and spot market in
the country, no matter in what it
deals, is today watching with intense
interest the reports from official and
unofficial sources as to the crop con-
ditions. Manufacturers are planning
their autumn and winter campaigns
on the basis of crop prospects. Whole
salers and retailers are watching the
fields of grain and cotton and pota-
toes and what-not as they issue their
orders to statesmen and lay in their
stocks. The wage-earner and his wife
await the results of the farmers sea-
son with hopeful pleasure, knowing
that fruitful year will lessen their
own economic burden and make it
possible for them to purchase things
which they have long had to deny
themselves or their family.
"Hay means beef and pork, which
beckon the packing house and storage
plant More corn means cereal nils,
glucose factories, starch factories.
Creameries follow the dairy cow, and
the truck patch calls for the canning
factory
So the farm is the factory behind
our wealth. And it is in the fuller re-
cogl1tion of this in recent years that
there is organized, cooperative eff
fort between the town man and the
country man to see to it that the efii-
cheney Of that factory is carried to
its highest. This effort takes various
forms. We see it in increased bank
facilities for the farmer, in the cham
Der of agriculture and commerce, in
cooperative societies, IN general
markets.
In this connection it is worth while
to take cognizance of a suggestion
which comes to US from the West
that there be established in the large
cities, as protection to the farm

OAKLAND SIX HAS Uk-
QUESTIONABLE MERITS

II is claimed for the Model 80 Oak
land light six that its 30X35 horse
power Oakland -Northway motor will
deliver more actual useable power per
pound Of weight than found in any
other pleasure car built; that it has
the widest rear seat ever put in an
automobile listing at less than ST.
$50. and that it is upholstered in
genuine No. machine buffed leather.
This new Oakland Six is not an ex-
pertinent, but the worthy successor Of
a long line of famous six cylinder cars
built by one of the unit plants of the
General Motors company, the largest
automobile building institutions in the
world, backed by S10,000,000 real
money-an organization responsible
for some of the largest automobile
successes of our times.
The Four Cylinder Model
In this model, Oakland is present
ing a motor car with an unequaled re-
cord of performance. To its tried and
proven essentials have been added
those minor improvements and refine
ments which the trend of motor car
Development suggested.
The motor is a four cylinder Oak
land-Northway of the high speed,
high efficiency type, capable of OBJ
tanning a speed of $500 revolutions
per minute, and developing 391a horse
power at 1850 revolutions.
In this motor there is that highly
desired simplicity and compactness of
construction combined with an even
flow Of power. There is the great ad-
vantage of lightness and simplicity
without the disadvantage of multi
plicity of cylinders.
The "38" is built along the same
advanced lines as its predecessor, the
"37." 1t has tn extreme streamline
body, with German silver, wedge
shaped radiator; low hung frame with
usual road clearance; is light in
weight, sturdy and dependable. 1t is
big, speedy, rangy, roomy car that
will hold its own in any company.
Oakland-bui throughout with new
and even better expression of Oak
land standards. 1t is economical in
upkeep, safe, delightfully."- comfortable
and is a true motor car beauty. 1t
has power beyond all road demands,
and strength and balance of con-
struction which keeps passengers de-
lightfully unconscious Of the most diff
fcult performance.

NATIONAL SPORT Is
VERY COSTLY THIS YEAR

Baseball is no bonanza this year, at
least not in a lot of the teams of the
minor leagues. There is much talk
about transferring franchises, and
doubts about ability of certain lea
CUES to complete their schedules.
The fans" get their ideas up too
high. One single error, and the
bleachers begin to "crab." Another
one, and the seats resound with "Take
him out" Which doesn't help nerv-
Gus player to do his part any better.
1t doesn't cost much to sit on base
ball bleachers and yell at players who
make occasional errors. But if the
people who do most of the knocking"
are solicited to subscribe a dollar to
help make up the deficit in the ball
team, they are not there.
Baseball has become a costly and
difficult sport in many cities, for the
reason that the public will not be
satisfied unless it has a winning team.
1t is not so much exhibitions of good
baseball that it wants. 1t demands
the chance to see hated rivals bite the
dust of defeat. If a team has a los
ing streak, its attendance is apt to
drop one-half.
1t is this character of the crowd
that has led to the absurdly high sal
aries earned by ball players. 1t is
an illogical, disproportion, when a
young man just out of his teens can
earn $50 and 500 and more per week,
while others with equal or better
brains are taking business jobs at
$500 a day.
The baseball pace has been fever
ish. The players have sensed their
advantage. Once they acquired some
reputation for speeds, they were be-
set by managers, and were able to
name their own figure. But conditions
like these are not apt to be perman-
ent. Wealthy men who have financed
many of the minor league teams have
become tired Of the costliness of their
fad. The public is economizing
through these war times, and play
ers' salaries are closer to normal
basis.
