DYcc A cs,rAD

A little time helps thought. The
patrons Of the Grantham track were
not rich. Even though the betting
ring was allied with the track, not
enough money came from the pockets
OF Grantham bettors. to support tho
elaborate machinery of even such q
dog track as this. Over my dinner I
wondered. Here was a possible an
swer to today's events:
Smiler Smith was commonly re-
ported to own an interest In. coun-
try-wide chain of poolrooms. Pool
rooms would pay big money to know,
in advance, not which horse would
win, perhaps, but which horse was
certain to lose. For, by offering juicy
odds against that horse they could
tempt the public to forget its choice
poor enough at best.
I'd been suspicious before today.
But this afternoons events had
crystallized suspicion. And with the
capitalization my blood began to
boil.
I thought Of the many people who
knew me and who had possibly
probably even-placed bets on to-
days race, tempted by the combine
ton Of my name as trainer of vi

The object Of the sino-Jspanese

clearly understood by the nation, who
worked to /attzin the ultimate goal
with full and unanimous accord. As to
the Siberian business the Japanese

After remarking on the withdrawal
of American troops from Siberia.
,Okuma insisted that Il Japan finds It

on: What the government is doing is

"It~would be better" he concluded.

vas taken.
The shrinkage u the farming popu-
slation In the eastern states involved
two important elements. Thers-was
AeTift toward the cities. andsthers WA
the westward movement toward new,
OK and cheaper lands. Both OF these
influences are sttil atswork, but the In
ter tends to become les and less mo-
iceable ~ new territory becomes set
tied. The farm boy OF today may de-
eide to stay on the home farm, but II
he does not, he L. much more likely
to ssek q job in . factory. or store.
Or m office. then to homestead or buy
cheap land in the west.
The drift to the cities diminishes
the number Of those who produce food
and all the time the number OF con-
sumers Of food u increasing This OF
itself does not imply that less food u

available one ma can produce much
more food than his grandfather could
produce sixty years ago. with an
equal number Of persons, at work an.
acre can be made to produce o
than It would produce half century
ago. after It has ceased to be virgin
soil. But - the thing actually works
out, In very many cases both our acres
and ~ mon are producing less.
Il is. we'll understood fact that n
the maximum results in food produc-
ton r to be attained. grain farming
and stock raising must go hand in
hand. Often they do, but very often
they do not, and the results are seen
In the millions Of acres which have
been abandoned. OF which, for all prac-
ttical purposes. might as well be aban-
doned to the weeds which cumber and
disfigure their surface.
Grain farming can be conducted, in
. fashion, at long range. Stock raising
cannot. in real firntns country. The
successful raising Of stock implies the
actual presence OF people on the farm
for twelve months in the year. It im-
plies the existence Of q permanent
homo rather than a temporary abid-
ing place; and one Of the very disqui-
citing features Of agricultural life
just now Is tho very evident intent OF
the occupants Of many farms to leave
them at the first opportunity. In the
meantime rich soil bears weeds in
stead of grain, and the milking Of
cows threatens to become . lost, art.

AUTOMOBHE FUEL.

The Increasing demand for motor

Tar no satisfactory substitute for gas

meantime, consumption increases.

AT the recent meeting IN Chicago Of
the Farm Bureau Federation and
aIlied associations steps were taken to-
ward the formation Of q crest CO.
operative marketing agency thrqugh
which the grain and livestock of.the
Tinted States and CanadaSwil be han
died and sold. This is the most annbi-
'ttous project vet undertaken anywhere
in theworld for theymarketing Of farm
products
Tho principle. Of course, Is not new.
~ has been in operation for a in
mahy parts of the world, and in many
branches Of farm production. In Eu-
rope cooperative marketing associa-
tiohss have been in successful operation
for years. They handle all sorts Of
farm products. Sometimes an associa-
ton deals exclusively in one product,
and sometimes 1t handles a large line.
In the Pacific coast states there are
fruit growers associations which ham
die practically the entire product Of
those states. They have systematized
the business, and have helped mate
rally to make fruit growing q profit
able business.
The intention Of the promoters Of
the new movement Is to place the
grain and stock business on a similar
Footing. Because OF the magnitude
Of production and the tact that pro-
duction is distributed all over the con-
tinent, the organization, which is to
cover this ground must necessarily
sbe = very large one. There are grain
ana stock marketing associations now
id operation In this country, and some
Of them seem to have made excellent
progress. The natural order is for the
large general concern to be evolved
from the lesser ones. In this case
there will be available a large fund
OF experimentation which to build.
II may be that the plans suggested
4 larger than car be put into early
operation. But there is no reason
why, even If 1t does not cover the en-
tire field at once. an association based
Of this principle cannot hope to cover
