Shipping Notice

Because of the extreme shortage in
stock cars il is necessary for us to
know some time in advance what stock
We desire to ship. hence would advise
those who desire to ship 10 list your
stock with the county agent as soon
as possible, so he will know just how
many cars TO have set 10 at the differ
ent shipping points. You may list your
sock by seeing the county agent or by
dropping him card stating the num-
Der Of head of hogs or cattle and about
the approximate weight. The r. R.
Company is in need of all the cars now,
therefore it is necessary for them TO be
used as soon as possible after they are
set in. The market is not what we
should like to see al this time but from
all indications it will be worse after
the first frost, as this will necessitste
many people getting rid OF their stock.
Remember that the Co Operative
shipping organic alton was created
to give every farmer 10 the county an
opportunity to get the market price for
your stock So far we have shipped
around $50, 600 worth of live stock thru

We are trying to serve you in the most
profitable way.

A TARIFF FIGHT OF THIRTY YEARS
AGO WHICH SAVED WORLDS
FOOD SUPPLY DURING THE WAR.

From the Manufacturers Record, Bal
timore, Nd.
One OF the greatest protective tariff
fights ever made in this country was
the one in behalf OF the tinplate trade.
We had no tinplate industry, but a
third OF a century ago far-seeing men
took the ground that we could produce
tlnplate under a favorable tariff. We
were importing from Wales all of the
tlnplate for the canned goods trade
and other purposes. The most ire
mendous influence was brought by
Welsh exporters and American i'm
porters of tlnplate to prove that tin.
plate could never be made in this coun-
try. 1t was said that we had no tin
and were dependent upon importations
Of the raw material out of which to
produce tinplate. The fight was q
royal one. The battle went on for
years. The leaders in the industrial
development Of the nation fought year
after year in behalf of tinplate. an in
dustry which did not exist, but they
claimed that 1t could be created. The
tinplate importers filled the land with
their adverse reports.
In an experience OF more than third
NJ ? century in industrial newspaper
work we believe that the most contin-
u ! hottest fight which we evel

plate, and natura!l" every influence of
the Welsh tinplate interests and OF the
English interests identified with that
industry for years vigo!/.5'- opposed
an American industry Lasei on a pro.
tective tariff.
After ten to fifteen years OF work a
tariff was put on tlnplate, and since
then the growth of this industry has
been one of the marvels of American
history.
The United States now produces
three-fourths of the wrold's tinplate.
Twenty years ago we produced none.
In 1891 we imported more than l.
900 100000 pounds of tinplate.
In 1918 we imported 1000 pounds,
but we exported 560,O00,0OO pounds.
From the beginning of the industry.
in 1891, when this country produced
100000 pounds, the growth of this
business has gone forward with amaz-
ing rapidity, until in 1917 we produced
1887, 100000 pounds.
The first expectation of American,
