Problem of Unemployment.

If we have any large amount of
unemployment, however, we will have
that period of industrial unrest, and
there is no one who can tell where the
social upheavaI would land us
whether we will have a repetition of
the French revolution or of the Rus
sian bo1sheviki. or whether. good or
evil will come out of the social
struggle. Democracies are slow to
remedy the evils that exist within
them, because it requires the bringing
together of either a majority of the
people or common purpose to utilize
the balance of power to accomplish a
common purpose to move forward to
the removing of any grievance Yet
any other policy of endeavoring to
move forward any other policy of
progress means the establishment of
the same principle that has brought
this war upon the world.
The principle of autocracy, the ideal
of the German emperor. was that his
power was supreme, that he exercised
1t by divine right, and that he,. the
extreme minority. might impose his
will upon the majority-upon all of
the others. And when a few having
ideals come to the conclusion that
because they have those ideals then
those ideals ought 10 be put into
existence, whether the majority de-
sires II or not, and undertake to force
it upon the majority, then those few
having the ideals place themselves in
exactly the same position az the
autocrat of Germany was in when he
sought to have the minority impose
its viii upon the majority. But we
are facing that kind of a situation
unless We can tide over the few
months between now and our natural
postwar activities. Ny appeal to all

South American Possibilities.

! Then there is this great South
American country that lies with its
doors open waiting for us. Germany
| had a trade there; but Germany Will
| not again have a trade there. Ihe
| trade Will go to other countries, ana
| if our business men use the fore
sight that they usually exercise, a
! legitimate portion of this trade-and
that is all we ought to ask for-wtli
come to the United States.
And then there is the restoration of
France and of Belgium. Sooner or
later Russia and the central powers
will want some of our products. and
the great markets of the neutrals of
the north have been closed for years
because of the fear that their terri
tory was the gateway by which ma
terial might be supplied to the central
powers. We were compelled to cur
tail the shipment OF material into
those northern countries. Now those
markets are open to us, if we Will
utilize them.
With these things before us. if we
can tide ourselves over the brief
period of readjustm ent, we have from
eight to ten years of industrial ac-
tivity ahead of us, equal to anything
we have ever had in the past. Our
greatest difficulty is the tiding over of
the few months between the armiStice
and the postwar activities. The labor
organizations are in a better position
to resist reductions in wages than
they have been before. The workers
have this reserve to which l have re-
ferred in their possession; they are in
a position to resist, and ! fear that
if any attempt be made to force down
the wages of the workers to any con-
siderable extent. there will be a re-
sistance long enough to prevent its
accomplishment.

With the demands that I have sug-
gested coming-and almost every one

will be greater demands for labor
than we have had in the past, and
that means that the industry or COM

terim will be at a disadvantage when
it comes to build up its organization

community egg circle is really>a
modern revision of the old-fashioned
knitting bee or spelling school, with
the exception that it aims toward
financial profit rather than social ben
eft for it's members.
The annual egg crop of Uncle Sam
amounts to approximately $7OO,0OO,-
600 in value. Largely because of i'm
proper handling and inferior methods
of marketing there is an annual loss
of approximately s per cent of the
eggs marketed.
Many farmers look upon eggs as a
by-product. and the returns as so
much clear gain. Their hens forage
for living, eggs are gathered when
convenient and stored almost any
where. With such carelessness and a
combination of mongrel stock, dirty
nests, stolen nests of broody hens,
unconfined males, late. maturing pull
lets, and other undesirable conditions,
is it any wonder that the ultimate
product includes high percentage
of small cracked, dirty, stale, heated,
and even rotten eggs?
Occasionally the accumulations of
country eggs are taken to the cross
roads merchant and exchanged for
merchandise. The merchant usually
buys these eggs lease count" paying
the same price for all kinds and
sizes, provided they have unbroken
shells. Small production results in
small or infreQuent shipments.
How to Prevent Losses.
How, can these losses be prevent
ed? BY selecting pure breeds that
lay more or larger eggs, such as the
Whites Leghorns, the Wyandottes,
Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island. Reds,
or .Orpingtons; by giving better
care, food, and shelter to the flock
and providing dry. \clean. vermin-
proof nests; by combining males except
during the breeding season: by col
lecting eggs frequently, especially
during hot or muggy weather; by
storing eggs in a dry. clean. cool
place; by using the small and other
! wise unmarketable eggs on the. home
table; by marketing frequently. with
protection at all times from heat;
by selling for cash on basis of size
and quality. loss off" instead of

COOPERATIVE EGG marketing
CUTS LOSSES, HELPS PROFITS
SUCCESSFUL ASSOCIATION PRODUCES EARLY
MEMBERS FROM BIG INCVBATOR GOVERNMENT OFFERS
MORE
ADVANTAGEOUS


association or egg circle more can be
accomplished in these essentials.
One successful egg association has
a large incubator house of $4,000
eggs capacity, where early chicks are
produced for the members at low
cost. This is done in order to obtain
early maturing pullets, thus secur-
ing eggs during the fall, when the
supply is usually scant. The asso.
citation also has receiving room for
eggs where they are candled, sorted
to weight (about "a ounces to the
dozen). packed in cartons and shipped
on contract orders.
All eggs are guaranteed to be ac-
cording to grade. The association ad-
vertises the fancy grades on their car
tons and cases and market prices are
paid to the members. Twice a year
dividends are paid each member in
proportion to the amount of eggs mar
keted through the association and the
time of year the eggs were brought
in, larger dividend being paid
dozen for eggs marketed in thee fall
and winter than for those delivered
in the spring and summer. A regular
trade is established with discriminate
ing customers, with city clubs, with
the best class of hotels and restaur-
ants and with fancy grocers for sup
ply each day or week.
The reputation thus established en-
abled this association to obtain
price several cents a dozen above the
regular market quotations, as fancy
trade is willing to pay,a premium for
a guaranteed article. Most egg cir
Giles also cooperate in buying their
chicken feed and other poultry sup
plies.
Fancy Package Attracts Public.
All food products should be deliv-
cred in clean, attractive packages.
Some of the most successful egg ship
pers have discarded the dirty wooden
case and are using heavy fiber-board
paste-board cartons. Each carton
has compartments for II eggs. Upon
both the cartons and the case can be
printed such advertising as may be
wished.
This style of package is especially
desirable for the fancy retail grocer,
who can have his firnf>name included
in, the advertising. The hber-board
case is not expensive. forms a good
protection for the eggs in shipping,
and is worthy of trial.
With a firm container, parcel post
can be used for small shipments to
private homes within the first and
secopd postal zones; that is, $50
miles. Each egg should Re wrapped
in paper to hold 1t snugly on end
in it's own individual compartment of
the container: and after the container
is closed it should be securely
wrapped in strong wrapping paper
and tied with coarse, strong cord.
When there ia a successful cream.
cry established in the country neigh
borhood, eggs can be- delivered to- it
with the cream or. milk. Creamery
officials can often work up a fancy
trade among their butter customers.
Farmers desiring to organize a COM
munity egg circle should correspond
with the United States Bureau of
Markets, which will supply them with
detailed information regarding its or
ganization, operation and manage
ment.

CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED
so MUST WE.

Why don't we have better roads"
said an Itasca county man the other
day to the writer" Here we are
spending four times as much money
on our roads as we were ten or twelve
years ago and the roads are no better
now then they were then" (As a
matter of fact, not only are the roads
better than they were then, but there
ere hundreds of miles of roads now
where there were only tens at that
time.) But for the sake of argument
the reply was made to the inquirer that
one reason alone would, or should, if
he were not prejudiced, answer his
question: While it might be true that
there is four times as much money
spent on the roads as formerly, at the
same time it must not be forgotten
that there is at the very least twenty
times as much traffic over the roads,
traffic Chat of automobiles of ma
ture much more destructive to roads
than the traffic of dozen years ago.
If our friend expects roads to be main
tanned at a high point of efficiency, he
should not only not kick because there
is four times as much money expend-
ed now as a dozen years ago, but he
should expect to see twenty times the
amount expended.
AS matter of fact, conditions have
changed. A dozen years ago one
horse-drawn vehicle, which did not
kick up much of the road bed, pass
ed over certain road. Today TWEEN
ty automobiles. most of them with
chains on and going at rate of speed
that is anything but easy on the roads
passes over that same route.
What's the result Bad roads. Ant
even maintenance cannot prevent tn
roads (if they are dirt roads, from
being bad at certain seasons of tn
year.
