WASH SALES

Again wash sales are used, this time
to help increase the price. Rumors of crop
failures are spread; dire predictions are
made, to give the impression of a de-
creased supply, and the continual buying
from one another goes on. Slowly the
price is boosted.
Then the terminal elevator owner, who
holds the actual wheat, nits the price to
the flour miller and the miller can point
to the high price of December wheat and
raise the price of flour. And they do that
very thing
Raising or lowering the price of future
wheat affects the price of cash wheat, and
flour prices are based upon the price of
cash wheat, that is, wheat actually sold
Nor is it alone in wheat that future
deliveries are gambled in. There is May
pork and July pork; May lard and July
lard; May ribs and July ribs; July corn
and September corn; July oats and Sep
TENDER oats; May flax and July flax.
By future trading one man can get mil
lions of bushels by putting up small
portion of the price. With only cash sales,
no grain gambler could sell short"
every sale of wheat would mean the
transfer of that much grain. No one
would increase the price by buying what
he won't take, nor decrease it to the
producer by selling what he hasn't got.

HERTLING FAILS

Amsterdam. Nov 2.-If Count Won
Hertling withholds his acceptance of the
German ehancellorship because he can
not obtain a full majority, in the Relish
stag the German parliamentary reform
ers have achieved a great victory.
Berlin dispatches yesterday reported
this to be the reason for Hertling's non
acceptance. 1t would be the first time
in the history of Germany that nom
inee for the chancellorship had let any
thing like Reichstsg opposition stand in
his way II would be the first time in
German history that the Reichstag thus
indirectly had managed to impose its

Opposition of the Reichstag majority
TO Won Hertling. il was reported, was
due to the former Bavsrian premier's
violent and reiterated opposition to all

Community Effort Not New.

Words come into fashion and go out
again, much like clothes. Just now
the word Community is very much
in vogue. We hear about community
singing societies, community forums,
community celebrations and commu-
nifty projects of all sorts. Most of these
are highly commendable.
One reaction, though, of the frequent
use of this word is to spread the idea
that all this community enterprise is
something new. Everything we have
done is by way of community effort. 1t
is a wholesome thing to pause, m
times, and remember that everything
we do is a community thing. In the
final analysis there is no such thing
as a "self-made man. The Germans
have grown to understand this more
than we have; hence many of their
finest achievements in cooperation.

War Story Movie Men Overlooked.

During the Civil war Charles w.
Hubner, an Atlanta Pioneer who is still
with us, was a Confederate soldier in
the First Tennessee regiment. His
father, John Adam Hubner, was a fed
eral soldier in an Iowa regiment. Fa-
ther and son were fighting on oppo-
site sides.
Miss Ida Southworth was the fiancee
of Maj. Charles Hubner. She was a
volunteer nurse during the war. At
the battle of Shiloh the elder Hub
ner was seriously wounded, and it be-
came her duty to attend him, but she
did not know who he was. After the
war, when she and Maj. Charles Hub
ner were married, she spoke of nurs-

gathered, hauled to market. and made by weight
y bushels to the acre, and brought a money value
of $50 per acre.
The planter used to plant the corn was set to
drop three grains to the hill, and never missed
putting three grains in the hnl, but too often
dropped four grains. which made the corn too
thick, and this condition reduced the yield fully
ten bushels or more to the acre. But think of 70
bushels of corn being grown on land that had not
for over 20 years produced more than 20 bushels
TO the acre, and this feat accomplished in so short
81 time and with so little expense, as the cost of
the vetch seed was but $3.50 an acre.
This experiment with vetch made Mr.. Smith a
vetch enthusiast. The following year he planted
ten acres of better and higher land to vetch, and
the yield of corn on this land after the vetch was
over 80 bushels per acre, the cost of the vetch
seed for this field being only So per acre. Similar
experiments were made with the growing of sweet
corn and potatoes on land that had first been
planted to vetch, and the results were equally
successful.
Vetch, according to Mr.. Smith, is no respecter
of soils. It settles down and makes its home with
the rich or poor clay as well as the rich or poor
sand, and commences its business of soil restora-
ton at once. 1t has no terrors of frost or draught.
Winter will grasp 1t with its hand and hold 1t in
its icy clasp for months and months, and when
the warm sunshine of spring releases it, it smiles
business at the old stand. The drought of fall,
spring or summer will blow It's breath upon It, but
II needs it not, and continues its business of stor-
ing fertility in the soil as though it were being con-
stantly caressed with refreshing showers.

Big Elephant Butte
Dam Will Curb the
Rio Grande Floods

The United States reclamation service has COM
pleted by the building of the Elephant Butte dam
u reservoir capable of impounding S62, 2O0,O00y00O
gallons of water. That is to say, within an artif-
cial lake As miles long and with n shore line of
216 miles, water enough will be stored to be
spread a foot deep over an area of 1926 square
miles; or, If twice that depth, 1t would cover the
state of Delaware The purpose of this water is
TO irrigate $4,000 acres in four valleys lying be-
low the storage basin in New Mexico and Texas.
While the dam itself is not so high as others In
the United States for a kindred service, still the
massiveness of the structure and the capacity of
the reservoir make the project not only the big
gest thing of its kind in the United States but the
most ambitious in the world. The famous AsSuan
dam in Egypt impounds only two-thirds as much
water and cost $14,000,00O more than the Elephant
Butte structure, or 100000. Elephant butte
Is in New Mexico, about twelve miles west of
Engle, and in order to carry materials to the dam
site it was necessary to build II branch railway
nearly thirteen miles long tapping the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe line. The government con-
structed this road and operated something like a
fourth Of It, and in this way saved $4,000 in
freight charges alone.
The dam is built of great rocks buried in a mass
of concrete and blocks a canyon on the Rio
Grande. From the lowermost point of the parapet
wall the dam rises 31S feet, and nearly a third of
this is below the river bed. At its top the struc-
ture has a length of 1874 feet and on 1t runs a
fine roadway 16 feet wide. The dam is 225 feet
thick at its base and the entire mass, which called
for $4,000 cubic yards Of material, represents a
dead weight of 100000 tons. This strength and
inertia are needed tc halt the onrush of the erratic
and the %torrential Rio Grande and to hold the
accumulated waters so that they may be supplied
slowly and safely to the widespread acres reach
ing for III miles.
Work was begun in 1911, and half of the sue
ceeding six years was taken up in preliminary
operations before the great bulwark could be
reared. This preparatory work called for the con-
s%truction of a great sluice to divert the rivers
flow and enormous bulkheads or subsidiary dams
above and below the permanent dam.
The climate Is an equable one In the region
opened to the farmer, and the soil Is abundantly
productive when properly watered. A practical
husbandman with 5000 working capital has a
splendid chance.

SCREENED PORCH is DELIGHT
Such an Adjunct to Farmhouse May
Be Used as an Outdoor Dining
Room and as Sitting Room.

The screened porch opening into the
kitchen and overlooking the flower
garden, which every woman loves and
should take time to enjoy, is one of
the delights that is coming for every
farm wife. This porch may be used
all summer for the outdoor dining
room and for a sitting room, too, II
there is not another porch, (also
~screened) on the other side Of the
house.
This porch with its view of the love
ly garden and shrubbery is a delight
from early spring when the first plum
and cherry blossoms come, to the time
of late autumn flowers. Why should
the view which is seen so often from
early dawn till dewy W be a chicken
coop or a pigpen?
Chicken cOops, pigpens and barn.
yards are indispensable but why not
arrange to have the often unsightly
spots screened by shrubs? The beau
tiful elder grows in prOfusion nearly
everywhere and there is no expensive
shrub bought in a nursery which has
more grace and beauty. 1t grows
easily and spreads so that in a few
years one may have a lovely back
ground for the garden in front. 1t
is doubtful if the psalmist could have
written so charmingly if he had not
been able ito lift his eyes to the
hills, whence cometh my help"
The expense of screening a porch
is an item that must be considered
and yet where the man of the house
is at all handy with tools it may be
done with little expense outside Of
the cost of lumber, screens and paint.
The amount of comfort enjoyed by
the family on such a porch cannot be
estimated in dollars and cents.
In ordinary seasons it may be used
for an outdoor dining room, and sleep
ing porch for baby from four to six
months of the year. What home con-
v%enience at the same cost would be
the comfort to the entire family?
