The Facination of Fur

Furs have always had a tremendous
facination for women Now they are
telling US of one coat for a society
woman costing $4,000 The girls
must even have fur in summer. The
dumb beast, through some gift Of eve.
luton, sheds his long hairs when the
sun climbs. The girl of the Period
when the thermometer ascends to the
nineties, still buries herself in furry
stuff built to shelter shivering beast
exposed to zero weather.
High prices prevailing in the fur
trade have stimulated trapping and
shooting all over the country. Bur
lington, Vermont, the center of 9
fairly we'll settled community, ships
$4,000 muskrat skins q year In
towns the life of poor Kitty is no
longer safe.
The country boy is stirred to the
roots of his being by the predatory
trapping instinct Now it is further
whetted by high fur prices. He may
weep when his mother asks for q
basket of wood But he'll walk miles
to visit his empty traps.

Redu cing Food Costs

The idea that the business of food
production needs reorganization is
not one held merely by easy chair
philosophers and smart newspaper
fellows who never saw hoe nearer
than a railroad car window 1t is
the prevailing scientific expert opin-
ion For instance. Elwood Mead,
chairman of the California Land
Settlement Board in a recent maya
zine article says, The time has come
for a sweeping reorganization of our
agrarian system" He refers to
American dealings with the soil as a
form Of anarchy, and says the losses
by exhaustion of the soil through lack
of fertilization and failure properly
to rotate crops. have been more de-
structive than if all farm houses and
buildings in this country had been
swept away by fire.
The first respect in which farming
is not efficient as compared with fac
tory production, is that farming has
not employed machinery to anything
the same extent Farm tractors, for
instance, are revolutionizing condi-
tons on many properties But the
people do not begin to realize yet how
generally they could be used. There
is a SteeO hillside country in OREGON
and Washington where tractors are
working on slopes of so per cent grade
One farmer in that section who bought
a tractor last spring said last Sep
TENDER that it had already nearly
paid for itself. In one country dis
trict, it is said that the use of harry
ester and thresher Combines" had
saved the time of 500 men.
And this great economy of man

POTATOES SOLD AT AMHERST

During the last week thousands of
bushels of potatoes raised in Portage
county were taken to Amherst for
sale and the busiest days ever seer
about the potato warehouse near the
500 station in that village are report
ad by the Amherst Advocate.
Large loads of tubers were lined
up about the warehouse waiting to be
unloaded, from morning until late in
he evening. The street along the po-
tato houses was practically blocked
with potato traffic and a person going
through the village on the train would
have cause to notice that Amherst was
an unusually busy place.
The potato receipts were the heav-
iest on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day. On any of those three days
there was continuous waiting list Of
more than so loads of potatoes, wait
ing to be transferred to warehouses.
Some farmers who brought in their
potatoes during the morning were
compelled to wait until noon to get
away, and others who came in the
afternoon waited until long after dark.
Last Saturday at the international
bank at Amherst, the sum of $1,000
was paid out to farmers for potatoes
alone. This sum was in payment for
me days purchases and continued
heavy payments are being made and
t may be seen that large amount
Of cash has gone to potato raisers
n the vicinity Of Amherst.
The price of the spuds averaged in
he neighborhood of $3.50 per hundred
and this, together with the fairly good
sleighing, has made the heavy re
ceipts.
Estimates placed the number of
loads of potatoes brought into Am
herst village in three days at $50.
Sixteen carloads were shipped out
Saturday evening and 10 more cars
were shipped on Wednesday,
Thousands of bushels are still in
The warehouses.

Home Store Service

The relation that grows up between
the stores in a place like Grand Rap
ids and the people, is a very intimate
one. The merchants and their clerks
are able to make a study of the in
dividual needs, tastes, and desires OF
their patrons. =
When you visit big department
store in some other place, the sales
people never saw you before and
never expect to recognize you again.
They have little idea what you want.
and they are less likely to be able
to please you.
Your home store merchant or clerk
sold you a similar article last year
and probably for several years. lie
at once knows the kind Of thing you
are looking for, and he helps you to
select it.
The result of making this kind of
purchase is always economical Peo-
pie will use a thing much longer if it
meets their desires and tastes. The
things that cost high are the misfts
that they get in stores where their
individual desire is not intelligently
assisted

What of the Future

Are you pesSimiStic, or optimistic,
in your belief of the future conditions?
Labor is restless and somewhat un-
employed. Contractors and carpen
tiers are unemployed and want to
know "what of the future ?" Build
ing aterial and supplies are so high
they say people cannot build or i'm
prove until prices are reduced. Where
is the fault? Who is to blame? The
war we have passed through is the
cause of the waste and high prices
and we must all economic and save
to make it up We grant you there
has been unjust and unreasonable
nrofteering by many who had the
opportunity and were willing to take
it. Further unreasonable profiteer-
ing will only bring ruin and revolu-
ton if it is continued. The retail
Srices Of necessities must be reduced
before labor can be reduced, in fact
labor in most instances should stand
where it is and the price of neeessi-
ties be reduced We believe with Mr..
Ford that all labor should be well
paid and kept up at high standard
so that you can get the best results
out of labor. Labor is the great fac
tor in all manufactured products.
Protect and permit it to enjoy a large
share of the profits. May both the
laborer and employer be fair and just
with each other.

could be made in every agricultural
county in the country, in all the vari-
Gus processes of farm work, so far as
local conditions permit, the total saw
ing would be almost unbelievable. Any
progressive farmer could expect a
large measure Of prosperity. His out

could afford to sell his products for
less money for given quantity The
food price question would be largely

The city Of Marshfeld, yesterday
a busy thriving town of 5000 inhab-

existence by fire Wednesday. The
flames started at about noon in the
lumber yard of the Upham Mfg.
Company and spread with almost light
ming rapidity. Every possible effort
was made to check them, but in vain
and hundred of citizens stood helpless
and aghast at the great calamity
which was Detailing them, and the
mountain of flames which was de.
vouring their homes and places Of
business.
