CWritten Specially For The Buietin.)
 Probably you all know that Henry Ford, the famous maker of "fivvers,' is just at present publishing and edit ing and distributing a newspaper. Ap- parently because having a newspaper Of his own enables him 10 get him self before the public just when and as he happens to feel. IL is admitted that published such newspaper is an expensive amusement It is also agreed that Mir. Ford can afford it. He has a regular income Of several millions a year and not even q newspaper need | call for more than half of it. Even if the circulation were solely confined to exchanges and free copies to adver- tisers. Which. probably isn't true Of Mir. Ford's paper.
 Recently, 1t appears, he and his as- sistant editors made 0 tremendously interesting discovery.
 They have found out and go an- nounced in their paper that all over ule country farmers boys and farmers girls and sometimes even farmers themselves are leaving the farms be- cause they can get bigger wages for less hours work in cities or factory towns.
 Oh. I tell you, that man Ford is a sleuth when he once gets started. You can't keep anything from him. When he goes gunning after fact that fact, like Captain Scott's coon. might just as well come right town without waiting for him Go shoot. IL wouldt be surprising if, some of these days, h. should also discover that the sun rises in the east. and that it's apt to be wetter. out-doors, in rain than in the sunshine.
 don't suppose that more than S5,. 000, 000 people in the United States knew that about farmers children leaving the farms before Mfr. Forvi's paper let it out. His daring an nouncement ought to be an eye-opener to the other millions who didn't dream of it-residents, mostly. of New York city, Buffalo, Tuxedo. Grand Manan and Boston Back Bay. Even these people occasionally like a mb-chop or a baked potato in the intervals be- tween lobster and caviar. And there must be some farmers somewhere or other. to raise lambs and spuds. Neith- CT steel rails nor yard wide muslins nor even crepe de chine are rated as edi- ble products and. ii the erst-while farmers all 90 to work making them even a civic political nconimist car sec that a shortage of chops and gar den sass will inpen,l.
 One smart AleclS noticing Mir Ford s discovery, suggests that it may lead 10 starting m experimental farm. with a minimum wage Of s5 for an eight hour day. Sundays. holidays, rainy days and days when the fish lite included inst to show us common hsyseedi how to make money. though farmers.
 \ grand suggestion, Mir. Ford has shown himself genius in the mechan- snrf lime hne IOpa opl ,3ait,, what no other man in the country can at least what no other man does. Ht has built and is building an automobile plenty good enough for us peasants, al a price the peasantry can afford tC pay. He is, moreover, an adept .finan. cier. fearsomely skillful in the ar of making S2 from the investment e a drilled nickel. And some vii think most important of all, he b about the luekiest critter in five con. tinents.
 When you come to think of it. that fhe very combination needed to nnak- Earning renumerative: supreme me rhauical skill to invent machines 10 q. Rll the work; financial genius to tur1 kniail investments into huge returns And a dependable streak of consecutiv, good luck. With these three assets think even I could make enough il thirty or forty years to afford a cleal pair of overalls every dsyl
 Lacking that combination however you and I must look to the one IraI who possesses it to break the road I,et him go ahead and we'll tag alon, behind as fast as our rheumatism vii let us.
 T. is currently reported that he al ready has q farm used for trying ou his rSw tractors. This makes th thing simplicity itself. Let him be gin right now blowing up that farm meadows, hills. swamps. stumps, ledg es, bogs and all. This will prove a the start-off that two tractors at fit. cents q week and board themselve will do the work of seventeen men a s a day Then let him invent a ma chine which will plant, SOW, cultivate reap and hag all crops and deliver then
