WARNING TO BUYERS OF BALED
HAY.

The department is investigating the
practice of some shippers of hay of
veneering or facing the bales. Veneer
ing consists in feeding to the haling
machine an occasional forkful of hay
that is of higher grade than the bulk
of the lot being baled and manipulate
ing the forkful in such way that the
high-grade hay covers the outside of
the bale, making the bale appear to
contain better hay than it actually
does contain. The National Hay AS
ISOLATION has requested the depart
ment to cooperate with it in trying to
eliminate this practice, believed to be
dishonest. Buyers of baled hay are
warned to be on the lookout for this
practice in order to avoid accepting
on a cursory examination a lower
grade of hay than they intend to
purchase.

THE YEAR 1911 TO BE A RECORD
BREAKER FOR BUSINESS.

From every angle there is seen album
dAnt evidence that the year 1917 is to
be a record-breaking one in the VOL
ume and value of business transacted
in the United States.
If we take under inspection Condi-
tons that affect the agriculturists and
their interests, we at once perceive
demands for the products of the lands
that have never been equaled either
at home or abroad. These demands
are at prices that are the maximum for
more than hall century if the general
average is taken as the basis of COM
putation.
1t has been for centuries a maxim
among economists that given pros
perity among the cultivators OF the
soil general business never fails to
be good.
That prosperity spreads its benefits
now throughout the farming districts
of the United States is not open to
doubt. and famine-stricken Europe,
with so many millions of it's former
producers digging trenches and deal
ing death to their fellow men, is alb
solutely dependent this year, and will
be for the succeeding two years, upon
the focdstuffs raised and to be raised
in the fertile fields of this republic
To this huge foreign demand we
have added the, immense, demands of
our own population in the cities and
industrial districts.
Since November l it is said that ad-
vances made in the wages OF employees
in the United States will increase the
pay rolls by fully $3OO,O0O,O00 per
annum.
To put this in another form, let 1t
be said that the earning power of the
workers of this country is increased
by that amount. This increased earn
ing power represents an increased
purchasing power of the same amount
S300,000,000, and American workers
are quick to use that additional pur-
chasing power, once it is in their
hands.
Can anything be found that will
give stronger proof of the prosperity
of our transportation companies, man
ufacturing, financial institutions, COM
mercial and construction companies
and other employers of labor than
these recent advances, mostly volun-
5ary upon the part of the employers
Evidently the farmers, merchants
manufacturers, bankers, railways, real
estate dealers and, indeed, every bust
ness man in the United States will
find 1917 a year of record-breaking
prosperity.-Washing Post.

START, A SAVINGS ACCOUNT WITH
THE NEW YEAR,

The Advocate wishes to call the at
the great importance of starting a
savings account either through the
Christmas Savings Club or in the
regular savings fund OF the various
banks of this locality. The best time
to start bank account is with the
beginning Of the new year when
good resolutions are generally made.
No family should be without a bank
account of some amount. Nothing IS
better training for the children than
to have them know that the head of
the family is providing against a
rainy day and thus instill in the
minds OF the younger members the
great necessity of saving their pen
MES and starting a bank account
which will grow larger year by year
rs the training Of the spirit Of saving
grows with the child.
Farmers and men of moderate
means who have been in the habit of
saving a few dollars each week and
sticking it away in some secret place
in their homes, should wake up to the
fact that this is not the proper meth
Cd OF saving money. These sums
placed in the savings department of
any OF our various financial institu-
tons would command a small rate of
interest which would be added to the
principal every six months.
Let us all start the new year by
opening a bank account. If this is
done, by the end Of the year many
families will be in a much more
prosperous and independent condition
than the opening Of the new year
nnds them. Begin now.

considerable weight at Washington.
The farmer, naturally, wants to
know why he should be selected as
vicarious sacrifice. Leather is scarce
and shoes high, why not an embargo
on leather? All cotton goods have
gone up, why not an embargo on cot
ton? Steel is soaring, why not an
embargo on steel? Moreover, he will
want to know if we are going to pro-
hibit exports to Belgium, to all neu-
trail countries. IL not, how will we
prevent these going to belligerents?
Indeed the farmer will have so many
pointed questions to ask that it is not
likely the proposal Of an embargo will
get much further than talk.-E1.

Washington, Sept. s.-The. White
House is frankly pleased that Charles
E. Hughes has accepted 8-hour-day
controversy and settlement. Of rail-
way strike as a campaign issue.
Chairman Vance Mccormick is also
pleased and has teIephOned his con-
CALCULATIONS to the president. The
Democratic campaign committee in
tends to help Mr.. Hughes give as
great publicity as possible to this
subject, They are planning to cir
cUlate what Mr.. Hughes said in his
speech in the south, referring to the
passage by congress of the 8-hOur
law; particularly his statement that:
81 am opposed to being dictated to
either in the executive department or
congress by any power on earth be-
fore the facts are known and in the
absence of facts"
Also his statement: 81 stand here
firmly for the principle of aTbitrating
industrial disputes and l would not
surrender it to anybody in the coun-
try"
Opposed to this statement by Mr..
Hughes, Mr.. Mccormick intends to
circulate Pres. Wilson's declaration
that:
at seemed to me, in considering
the subject-matteT of the contrOVer-
sy, that the whole spirit of the time
and the preponderant evidence Of re-
cent economic experience spoke for
the 8-hour day"
The committee calls attention to
the statement by Mr.. Hughes that:
ct may be very important that
here and there there shall be change
in the wage scale. know not. 1t is
a matter for careful examination"
The committee will contrast with
this statement Pres. Wilson's accom-
pIishments IN behalf of labor, includ-
