WILLYS SEES NEW
ERA FOR FARMER
Passenger Car and Tractor Cut
Costs and Increase Pro-
duction.
ny JOHN N. wILLYs,

fTesHent OF WtHys-Oceridnd, Inc
The farmer .has benefited more than
any other individual by the great me-
chanical era which has emancipated him
from toll, shortened his hours Of labor,
making possible great advantages for
himself and his family
From the time when natives ploughed
the ground with pointed sticks, either
drawn by oxen or men. farmers work
has been revolution!zed by one invention
after another. The reaper. the power
thresher and the cult!vator have all had
their part and now with the advantag es
brought about with the last two addi-
lions TO the farmers equipment. the auto
mobile and the tractor. the modern coun-
try gentleman holds more than ever the
onviable place in the eyes OF his city
neighbors.

LOW EXCHANGE IS DAMAGING

tion is for the United States to buy foreign securities and extend long time credit for merchandise. We are in a strong economic position. The nations of Europe must have our cot ton and wheat and. since they are so heavily indebted to us and we must extend them many more millions to put them on their feet what is the difference whether we buy their bonds or send them our merchandise? :?
 Everyone in Wall street knows that if the Peace treaty had been signed in Washington an Information. al Exchange Committee would have been organized long before now to stabilize exchange and bring abou: other necessary adjustments. Nevel during the darkest days of the war when the Germans were almost at Paris. did British and French ex- change go to where it is now. The British. during the war. by a system of credits with the United States had sterling begged to $452.
 "The tension over and gold exports curtailed there was nothing to keep it that close to parity. Indeed; unless the United States loosens it's purse strings there are London financial ex- perts who say the pound sterling will 1rop as low as $2.50. That would be a calamity. It would be a two edged sword iniuring both England md the United States.
 Europe is like man on the verge of death due to starvation. When you find such an unfortunate you feed him gradually until the stom- ach becames accustomed to digestina food. Now our aim has been al! along to stuff Europe with all kinds of American products. We have piled up trade balance. according to for nor Secretary of Commerce Redfield aggregating $4,000 100000 a year. El ropes financial system, like the starved human stomach. has been un- able to assimilate it. Consequently tion of foreign exchanges and incl dentally. by infiation help to lower the purchasing power of our own dol lar.
 When you consider. as Mir. Red field points out. that $40O0.000. .00G represents American dollars at par and must be paid by those who owe it in Appreciated currencics. making it the equivalent of s5.0O0 100000, the result cannot be healthful to f' ture American trade and commerce. Foreign buyers are going into more favorable markets"

DIRECT
DISTRIBUTION
IC.lOUOI

Dan Wuille & Co., Ltd, offer
their direct distribution to the
Grower who has formerly shipped
through intermediate organiza-
tons at a cost of a multiplicity of
charges.
We believe that the Grower
will be glad to eliminate all possi-
BILE charges. We believe that many
intermediate shipping organizations
do nothing for the Grower that he
cannot do for himself
There are often as many as
four commissions or charges made
on shipment of apples to foreign
markets. These are unjustited in
that the shipments are often if not
always turned over on consignment
to some company like IAN Wuille
& Co, Ltd, to SELL They are
therefore for service that is non
essential and constitute a margin
which should go to the Grower as
margin of profit. Direct connec-
tion with a Selling Company elm
mates these extra charges and means
simply that the producer gets more
money out of his fruit,
This Company operates direct
ly on all important foreign markets.
We actually do sell our consign
ments ourselves. Apples sold for the
Growers account at similar prices
to those sold for a dealers account
must naturally return more money
to the Grower than the dealer can
return to his Grower or local con-
nection.
We think that when the grow
ers thoroughly understand the meth
DDS employed in marketing fruit the
Dan Wuille Company with their
direct connections will be better
appreciated.
We invite syou to talk the
glad to give you all the informa-
ton in regard to marketing that
we have at our disposal.

much Just now more money should be spent than has ever been legitimatey spent before But in order that it may be legtimatey spent, all waste should be cut out We need public works of one kind or another because need them, and need some of them badly, and because we need that employment should be afforded laborers We need, for instance mode room in the Capitol building.

 Road building that is scientific road building until can have good road spoicy, is a needed improve 1nent, as is reclamation work such a scale as the law permits, and all of these would furnish useful and needed employment to large number of men. Then her is the part the state ought to play in read justment notably in soldier settlement work
 An outlet for waste in the past has been through the state educational institutions. If the plan proposed constitutional amendment should be adopted that evil will be removed but the plan could not become immediately effective that in the time the legislature should apply the check

A SONG OF THE FIELD

The wind IS hushed-but the guns are singing: Over the top, On down the field! On with the flags-where life is bringing The thrill that comes from the sword and shoeld. Over the top! And on to the charge On and through the red barrage We've cleared the road that is red and wet We've opened the way for the bayonet We've sowed to the wind-now reap the crop Over the top, now! Over the top" The guns are hushed-but the winds singing: Sleep forever-on down the field; On with your dreams, where death is bringing The peace that follows the sword and shield: Under the top of the crest that knew The thud of your feet when the guns got through The charge is over-the fight is done Where silence sits the smoking gun; Where silence sts-and the shadows creep And the song of the guns can't end your sleep"
 -Grantland Rice.

The Times Ahead

It not unnatural that fearful souls should look apprehensvely upon the future. They always do in the face of a great change and we must admit that change from a great peace is something o a change. But there is sign of bad times. We also devised means for making these changes less abruptly than they have been made in the past, when they have been left about of themselves, as they did after the civil war.
 The clutch is being let in slowly that jar is being felt. just sthe accomplished the clutch of his machine. industries are being gradually transformed into peace industries Word comes from the financial authorities of the Twelfth district that the signs are good that skies bright, and that instead of depression that has uniformly followed wars there is before us a period of prosperity.
 There will be revival of building, which has been held in abeyance because of the war. and probably more construction will be into a short space ftime than ever before. So employment will be furnished in every community to more men than employed there.
 The outlook for the agricultural industry is espec- iay bright. Prices will remain high because agri- cultural products will be needed the whole world for long period to come.
 Coppe producers in period of uncertainty with the great stocks which the Government had taken turned back upon them to be sold for what the owners of it get. But the copper pro ducers have not the slightest doubt that shortly just how they say, the demand for copper from all over the world will be insistent one
 The states everywhere will be undertaking public works which have been restricted for a year and a haf partly because they are needed and partly be- cause employment must be fanished. Anyway there will be unprecedented circulation of money in all channels. And it is circulating money that makes times good. Depression comes not of a shortage of money, but of stagnation of money
