There's a reason why so many
successful farmers and threshermen
are buying Avery Threshers. They
are the highest type of separator
that is placed on the market today,
and the individual machines are Just
as complete as the larger ones.
They. do excellent work and we back
them up with the only real separ-
ator service in the county. Each
machine is thoroughly gone over be-
fore being pulled onto your farm,
and when we turn it over to you it
! is ready to thresh and do real work.
Business is good on these, and we
would be pleased to figure with you
on one for your own use or for you
and your neighbors. Our PROPOSE
ton to you on these makes them a
safe investment for you and one
that may bring you back in one year
all that you have paid out on one.

ENDORSE PLANS

port in Securing Project.

Enthusiastic endorsement of the
plans for a new Rock Island ar
senal museum was given by Con-
gressmen w. J. Graham of Illinois
Harry E. Hull of Iowa yesterday
afternoon at the conclusion of their
visit on the island with Colonel
Harry B. Jordan, commandant, and

ownership and private operation
or ownership by a single private
corporation with the government
guaranteeing a fixed return on the
stock. He outlined the two great
arguments in favor of government
owernship, that government-built
ships should be the servants of the
nation and that in times of emery
ency government-owned feet
could be more readily converted to
the national defense.
THE chief argument in favor of
private ownership and operation"
he continued, lis that a successful
merchant marine depends not so
much on ships, or money, or gov
eminent aid, as it does on the ex-
istence of a large class of alert,
resourceful and energetic men en-
gagged in the shipping business.
Mere mechanical efficiency of ship
and shore plant, added to sound
financial backing. is not enough
The man who enters the shipping
business enters a battle against
the wits of the world. He must
have a genius for shipping. For
tunately the men now engaged in
the shipping business in the Unit
ed States are of that character
But there are not enough of them
We need many more. And it is
clear that the number of such men
can be greatly increased only I'M
der conditions of private initia
tive"
Plan for Selling Ships.
THE ships should be sold at
price which fairly reflects the cur
rent world market for similar ton
mage.
twenty-five per cent of the pur-
chase price of each ship should be
paid down, the remainder falling
due and payable in graded annual
installments over a period not ex-
ceeding ten years. The govern
ment should take and hold a mort
gage for the unpaid balance, charg-
ing interest thereon at the GUS
tomary commercial rate of five per
cent. One-fifth of this interest,
representing the difference be-
tween the customary government
interest of four per cent and the
customary commercial rate, should
be paid into a merchant marine de-
velopment fund.
THE purchaser should be re-
quired to agree to insure and keep
insured with an American marine
insurance company, his equity in
the vessel. and because the Amer
lean marine insurance market has
not at present sufficient resources
to underwrite all the vessels the
government has to sell. the gov
eminent should carry in its own
fund as at present, but for the
purchasers account. hull and ma
chmery insurance covering that
part of the vessel for which pay
ment has not been made. Our ex-
perience in operation shows that
the government can carry this in
surance for at least one per cent
less than the open market rate
However. it is proposed that the
open market rate be charged, and
that the difference be paid into the
merchant marine development
fund.
