BEST WAY To SAVE MONEY is
OMOTORO OUT AND GET FOOD

Motor to the country and fill your
market baskets"
This is the slogan Of Farm to- the
Table" week, November 1922. which
has been designated as the time for a
nationwide demonstration of the au-
tomobile and the country roadside
market as means of combating the
high cost of living. The movement has
the active support Of hundreds of au-
tomobile clubs and scores of manu-
facturers of motor cars and their deal
Crs. as well as state and national
granges.
Through the combined efforts of the
various agencies Of the automobile in
dustry every farming community in
the United States will be asked to be
prepared for the calvacades Of city
motorists who are expected to take ad-
vantage of farm to- the table week.
They will he asked to post bulletin
boards along the roadside announcing
the fact that they have TO offer, butter,
eggs, turkeys. chickens, potatoes, ap-
pies, squash, cabbage. carrots, etc,
and to have ample supplies Of their
wares on sale at roadside markets.
Likewise every available medium will
be employed 10 appraise the motorist
Of the unusual opportunities offered
him during the week.
The week OF November 1922 was
selected because OF its close proximity
10 Thanksgiving day when farm pro-
duce Is in greater demand than ordi-
merry. The season is ideal because OF
tho abundance OF farm and dairy pro-
ducts during late November
Thousands OF farmers have found
roadside markets generously patron
lied by city motorists and have been
n source Of considerable profit to
them. Foodstuffs and produce that
ordinarily rotted for lack of time and
transportation facilities have been
turned into cash. But, roadside mar
kets have been the exception rather
than the rule. This tremendous field
Of distribution has been barely
scratched. Tons and tons of foodstuffs
are now in the hands of American
farmers that win perish unless the city
man with a motor car comes to the
rescue. Farm to table" week Is con-
fjdently expected by its promoters tc
move thousands Of tons Of foods. Fur
thermore It will point out to both
farmer and city man the economy
of the roadside market and suggest
10 him that this method be employed
from early spring until late fall. The
campaign is expected to have de-
cided educational value.
The cry in the city and in indus
trial centers is for more and cheaper

HOME MADE THERMOSTAT

An ingenious motorist recently con-
trived a thermostat by removing the
rubber hose between the top of the
cylinders and the radiator and replac-
ing it with a metal one, embodying d
shut-off valve of the butterfly type
such as are used on carbureters. A
rod from this valve extends through
the dash, so that the driver can regu-
late the amount of water through the
cooling system. In effect this is a

Finland Offers No Hope in War
 on BOlsheviSm

New York, Dec. 2O.-Finland need not be counted upon for az gressive action agaihst bolshet vism, according to H. Motltagu Donner, an American who has just returned from a two months visit to the new republic in the north.
 MT. Donner, who is president of the Finland constitutional league of America, said that the chance to enlist the active cooperation of the Finnish army in the campaign against Petrograd was lost this summer, when Admiral Kolchak, General Yudenitch and the other anti-bolshevist Russian leaders neglected to give timely recogni- tion to the independence of Fin land and the allied governments refused to give assurances of fi- nancial support without which Fin land could not venture to enter upon war with the soviet govern ment.
 At that time, he said. the mor- ale of the bolshevist army was low and the capture of Petrograd by the combined Russian, Esthon- ian and Finnish armies would have been easy. Now. with the col lapse of the Yudenitch campaign, Finland must confine herself tc holding her frontiers and protect ing eastern Karelia, which she had been invited by the inhabitants to occupy.
 Fear of holahevism in Finland tself, he said, had entirely diss peared, evan moaerate socialists having assured the existing coali- ton government of their supn ;n case of a revival of the "Red" insurrectionary movement which

Three Texas Draft

 -9 u BIy ant 5. L. Riley ..nd 5 ]. Powell, prominent &arm- ITS of West Texas and former members of the Farmers $ La borer5' Protective Association, an or anization which was given at tention by Federal authorities dur ing the early days of the war, have been knocking on the doors of the Federal penitentiary at Leaven- worth and literally begging for admission. Their pleas were re- fused and they have appealed to the Federal authorities of this dis rict to identify them" and assist them in gaining admission to the penitentiary.
 These men were convicted on a charge of attempting to obstruct the draft in the Federal court at Alilene in October, 1917. They ap- pealed, and in November of this year the Supreme Court, upheld their sentence. Immediately the three who were on bond left their homes for Leavenworth. They ar rived there the last day of Novem- Der and demanded admission. They told the warden the crime with which they were charged, of their trials and the action of the supreme court. The warden knew nothing of the case and refused to let them in. Day after day they have re- peated their request to be admitted and begin their sentences, and day after day have been refused prison Finally they appealed to Federal authorities here to come to their aid. It is considered probable that their unusual request will be complied with before Christ mas.

Fear has disappeared too of repetition this year of the famines under which Finland has suffered so severely during the war, because the harvest has been exceptional ly good Food is abundant in Helsingfor sand turnout the coun- try and supplies promise to last thru until the next harvest with out resort to "bark bread" an other famine substitutes of which the Finnish population has such unhappy recollections.
 Business conditions are good eX- cept for the extreme depreciation of the Finnish mark and the lack of shipping to carry Finnish ex- ports. Large quantities of tim- Der, wood-pulp and paper are awaiting export in exchange for required imports, of which the most pressing are machinery, agri- cultural implements, etc. A good market is offered for American goods of this character.
 Another handicap under which Finnish industry suffers is the high cost of labor, MT. Donner z clared. The workmen now work ed only about seven hours daily the 5 o'clock closing hour havin been made practically universal in all lines of industry and busi- ness, while wages had greatly increa ased as against pre-war times.

 at the cats and W ell a5 the skins" That's tae ist of cir
 ular letter advertisement being
 ent cut by the Waco Retail Mer- chants Association, Inc, over the signature of c. c. Lewis, secre- 1ary, regarding the inauguration of self-perpetuating cat-rat ranch near this city. If the plan
 Torks cut, and the way Lewis put it it is bound to work out, the stockholders are going to make a fortune without any investments or with an investment of a small amount of cash. Here's the plan:
 "To start with we will collect through free donations 100000 cats. Each cat will average twelve kittens year. The skins of these cats will easily sell for 30 cents each. We will have 12,000,000 skins to sell annually. This will give us a daily income of $10,000.
 "One man can skin 50 cats per day. We will pay him s2 for the Ski1lIllng. InlS means SJ,SUU Tor wages and leaves a clear profit of $2O0.
 We will start rat ranch next door, and feed the cats on rats. Rats will multiply four times as fast as the cats, and each cat will be given four rats per day. We will feed the cat carcasses to the rats. Each rat will have fourth of a cat daily, which should keep them sleek and fat.
 "It will thus be seen that the business will be self sustaining after once started. It may require a little cash to get a few cats and rats to start the ranches. After that it's velvet. If you want in on this venture act at once, or some enterprising fellow may beat you."
 No report has been made of a rush of subscriptions for the stock in the cat-rat ranches, but the as sociation is hopeful.

RETAIL MERCHANTS

A Retail Merchants Association Cor

Kent, OF Fallon, is president. He with
w. II. Goodwin, OF Lovelocks, and
II. J. Long, Of Mason, are the exec
utlve committee of the Board oil Di-
rectors.
Speaking of the purpose OF this or
ganization, Mr.. Kent said:
1T is the aim of the members of
the association, in joining themselves
together to acquire those privileges
which other organizations obtain
He points out that many matters of
state wide importance need the atten-
ton OF an association CHI this nature.
Principal among these may be men
toned the regulation of railroad
tariffs, both in the state and interstate
prospective state legislation affecting
merchants in general throughout the
state, property valuations, state and
merchants as body feel they are
certainly bearing their share on the
burden. Mr.Kent sites that no action
OF an arbitrary nature is to be taken
by the association but such matters as
affect the retail trade that will benefit
the customer as well as the dealer and
incidentally the State of Nevada will
be covered by the association. It is
also intended by the association, if
possible to embrace that territory
that is naturally contiguous and adj
jacent to Reno in California. This end,
however, will probably ultimately be
accomplished by affiliating 20 some
extent at least with the California
retail dealers association
The first executive session was held

10000 Express Co.
Employees Threaten
To Join the Strike

Ten thousand employees OF the Amer
lean Railway Express Company threaten
to go out on strike tonight unless their
demands now before the Wage Adjust
ment Board of the Railroad ,Administra-
ton are granted at once Michael
Cashel, president Of the international
Brotherhood of Transfers, with which
the men are affiliated, called at the Con-
ference Labor Board in the Hall of
Records yesterday and said the men are
tired of waiting for decision. They
demand an increase of $25 month and
time and half for overtime.
The matter was laid before Governor
Smith at the Bitmore, and he sent the
following telegram to Walker D. Hines,
Director General of Railroads.
"The Labor Board informs me that
the teamsters employed by the United
States Railway Express Company are in
session because your Adjustment Board
has not made an award in their case
which has been pending for some time,
and threaten to disregard their union,
and a general strike is imminent. Will
you be good enough to inform me when
this decision will be forthcoming? l
urge immediate action by your board to
avoid further industrial unrest in this
state"
1t was explained by union leaders
that strike from May to IL was
called off when demands were placed
before the authorities in Washington.
The brotherhood sent an ultimatum to
the board three weeks ago, demanding
that decision be rendered by tonight.

Mr. Ripley then pointed out that he
was acting in the interest of the War
Departments that four freight ships
and six transports were expected dur
ING the week. and that on one of these
ships. the Northern Pacific, which
docks to-day, is Colonel f. Nj. House.
He said the government "intended to
see that these vessels were handled"
and what were the longshoremen going
to do obout it?
Riley. spokesmen for the longshore-
men. said that until the strikers had
formally voted on the matter not one
ounce of baggage, government or
private, would be moved.

AS concession. however, they agreed
to handle Colonel Houses belongings.
Riley contended that the work on the
army piers was done by private steve
dores and that the men would rather
work for nothing than for the five and
ten cent increases.
Major Z. Ormonde Power, in charge
OF the debarkation piers, left the meet
ing with the assumption that the
strikers would not return to the gov
ernment docks. and so informed the
officials at Washington.
Secretary Of War Baker then an
nounccd that soldiers will be used to
load and unload army vessels here if
the longshoremen's strike prevents the
normal handling of the ships Prepara-
tons toward this end were made yes

Of the transport service.
The men also were addressed at the
ALL
eral Food Administrator, who said that
5000 carloads of foodstutfs would be
spoiled in a few days if they were not
moved. Later in the day he again
appeared before the men at their head
quarters on Eleventh Avenue.
He was assured that while the strik-
ers would make every effort to see
their way clear to do this, no action
could be expected until the men had
had an opportunity to vote on the
question. Preparations were i'm
mediately made to refer it to all the

At this meeting also appeared
Thomas A. Edison, who had been in
vited 20 talk to the men by Mr.. Will
iams, who in addition to being Federal
Food Administrator is also manager of
the Edison company.
Mr.. Edison dwelt on the Importance
of the work the men were doing and
declared they were not receiving their
just deserts. He proposed that labor
saving devices be installed on all docks
to quicken and tighten the labors of
the men, and that the workers should
share in the profits of these machines
The returns, he thought, would be far
more satisfactory than their present
wages.
He said auditors appointed by the
workmen should be placed or all cargo
vessels to take account Of profits de-
rived from these cargoes, n which the
men should also share.

devised.
BY the new routes the milk is
brought by rail directly into the city
and the services Of longshoremen are
not required Officials of the Sheffield
Farms company said last night that
the milk might reach homes later than
usually, but in every instance the milk
will be delivered
The milk ordinarily carried by the
Erie Railroad to Jersey City will be
brought through the Pennsylvania
tube to the terminal on this side of
the river. The Lehigh Valleys milk
shipments will be shunted through the
tube to the Harold Avenue yards of the

City. The milk trains of the Ulster

q Western lines, will be shunted over
the Poughkeepsie Bridge and will run
on the New York Central tracks into
the city.
Arrangements have been made for
handling milk on the Lackawanna Rail-
road: 1t will be ferried across, as
usual.
BY the middle of the week, it was
sad, the new receiving system will be
working perfectly and assure the city
Its milk supply as early as under the

Vessels of u. S. Arm,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Soldiers
will be used to unload and reload army
vessels at New York if the longshore-
mems strike prevents the normal
handling Of these ships, Secretary

embarkation, is considering the neces-
sary steps to prevent congestion of
military tonnage at New York. and Mr..

fusal of the strikers to handle army
ships now nearing New York.
Secretary Baker issued the following
statement tonight:
II have directed General Shanks to
operate. the army facilities at the
Port Of New York. He will employ
union longshoremen at the rate of pay
provided in the report of the adjust
ment commission, which l have ap-
proved for the War Department.
Should that labor not be available, he
will use enlisted personnel Of the
army or other labor if necessary.
"Thc ships operated by the War De-
partment are public ships. They are
bringing back soldiers-many of them
sick and wounded-from France, and
carrying requirements and supplies to
our army in France and Germany.
These are essential war operations. and
neither delay nor interference can be
permitted. The ships must and will be
operated"
"The department will follow its usual
policy" General Director Hines said
at the conclusion of conference with
other officials regarding the situation
ut New York. eve have approved the
award made to the men. If organized
