PICNIC AT STAG ISLAND

A party of Yaleites composed
of DIR. V. A. Lacy and family,
Geo. Mcintyre and wife, DR.. B.
Clyne and family, Geo. Barth,
wife and daughter Betty, Mr..
and Mrs. G. T. Peacock, Mr.. Har-
rison and Will Rath went down
to Stag Island in their autos on
Sunday last and enjoyed a fine
outing.
The only trouble the party had
was owing to the fact that their
pilots didn't exactly understand
the lay of the land, and they were
taken to Marysville, where it
was supposed they could cross
TO the Canadian side of the riv-
er, but there was nothing doing,
and they had to motor back up
stream and be satisfied with the
ferry used by other people.

Automobile Facts and Figures

,"An idea of the growth and
Importance of the automobile
industry may be gained from the
1919. statistics recently made
public by the National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce, -
say Barr Bros, local dealers in
Chevrolet passenger and CONNER
cial cars.
"The capital invested in 1919,
not including parts and acces-
sories, equalled $1,015, ,443, 1888,
This exceeds four times the cap
ital of all New York City banks
by $126,043,338.
"The number of miles travel
led per passenger by automobiles
last year was so per cent greater
than by railroad.
"1,974,016 new cars were pro.
duced in 1919, and it is interest.
ing to note that this was more
than enough to give one to every
child born the same year in this
country, (1,353,792) and to sup
ply the 1917 baby crop of France
(343,319.)
"The total number of vehicles
in use in the United States or
January 1st, 1920, was 1853.
848. This is one for every four.
teen persons in the country. II
these cars were placed in a row
only four feet apart, they would
completely encircle the earth.
1.-The introduction of these fact:
and figures is interesting. First
among finished products is the
position of the motor vehicle in
dustry in the nations business
At the same time it is one of the
basic industries. The motor cal
is the new transit of the country
to which the time of the individ
ual and the handling of short
haul freight has been attuned
From a comparative toy or novel
ty it has become a necessity.
Nearly one-third of the out
put is used in agriculture"

THE MICHIGAN AGRI-
CULTURAL COLLEGE
Provides for the State Picnic at
the College Campus, East
Lansing, Michigan

On Saturday, August 7th, n big
summer meeting or Farmers
Day will be held at the College.
Various departments of the Ag-
ricultural Division are co-operat-
ing to make the day an important
and successful one. Crops and
soils subjects, being those con-
tanning most vital and timely
interest at this season, will play
leading part in the work of the
day, but matter from other de-
partments will also be available.
The morning will be given over
to study of the college farm
particularly the various expert
mental plats, of which there are
more than 100 acres. In the af-
ternoon a big general meeting
will be held in the open on the
college campus. Leading speak
ers of both local and national
reputation will appear on the
program. L. Whitney Watkins,
of Manchester, will preside,
while Brother Leo, we'll known
manager of the Notre Dame
University farm, Roland Morrill,
President of the State Farm Bu-
reau, and other prominent au-
thorities on agricultural matters
will speak.
Live subjects of interest to
Michigan farmers will be en-
phasized. The results of some
80 soil tests out over the state
will be summarized as one of the
valuable features.
Every effort is being made to
provide entertainment for the
visitors of the 7th. The college
latchstring will be out and all
doors open to the farmers of the
state. The idea is to make this a
big, hospitable welcoming day
at M. "A. Ca real farmers pic
mic with business added.
Lunch at noon will be a big
basket picnic under the campus
trees. The women who come
along will have a headquarters
and rest room in the Women's
Building. Information and ex-
hibit booths on the campus will
be provided to add to the COM
fort and enjoyment of the Wis
itors.
Will you do all you can to ad-
vertise this gathering in your
county ? Automobile caravans
are being organized in most of
the counties within driving dis
tance, and many others will come
by train. If you will send in all
the men you can from your dis
trict,--or better still, bring them
in, the committee in charge of
Farmers Day will appreciate
your support.
The above is a letter address
ed to the Office, and l would like
to see large number of farmers
make arrangements to attend this
picnic. 1t is only $50 miles, and
the time spent would be we'll
worth your time. Call up the
office and l will be glad to make
arrangements with you.

Our band has been giving con-
certs in the neighboring towns
each Monday evening, and this
week the boys journeyed to Peck
and treated the citizens of that

That their efforts were appre-

that nice purse was presented
to them and they were invited

"MISSING LINK"
MAY BE FILLED
Flint to Port Huron Via F0stOr-
ia Branch Proposed

Filling in one of the missing
links" on the Pere Marquette
railroad lines is being agitated
by the Flint Chamber of COM
merce, a delegation from which
has conferred with members of
that organization at Otter Lake,
seeking to construct the nine
miles Of railroad track that would
connect Flint and Port Huron,
via the Fostoria branch of the
Pere Marquette.
At present connections with
Flint out of Port Huron are
made by way of Saginaw. Con-
struction of the proposed new
track would connect the Fostoria
branch. extending out from Flint
with either Sherwood or May
vile, located on the main line
from this city to Saginaw, and
complete the triangle with Flint,
Saginaw and either of these
towns as the terminal points.
Local officials of the Pere Mar
quette state that the construc-
ton of the missing link" had
been considered on previous oc-
casions, and that they had heard
nothing of the present plan.
Other missing links" on the p
M. lines that have been given
consideration during the past
includes proposed lines from
Ludington to Pentwater. on Lake
Michigan, and from Leota to
Kalkaska.

Grading on Kansas & Oklahoma Railroad
Expected to Start Monday
Morning =
PRESIDENT BYERS VERY OPTIMISTIC
Says Grading Contracts Have Been
Signed and Graders Expect to
Start Monday. Chief Engineer
Messer and Vive President w. p.
Byers Went to Forgsn Yesterday
to Start Work.

President o. P. Byers of the Kan.
and Oklahoma railroad was in Lib
eral yesterday, having come down to
assist in closing contracts for grad
ing the road out of Forgan..
In conversation with a Democrat
reporter yesterday Mr.. Byers said
that the contracts had been signed
and all matters arranged looking to
an early start and speedy completion
of the line.
Two outfits are expected to start
Monday on the grade, and Chief En-
gineer Messer started Friday setting
the grade stakes out of Forgan. W.
P. Byers took Mr.. Messer to the
scene of activity and returned to
Liberal last night. He says the
work is going forward today and that
considerable grade can be made Mon
day if the grading contractors get on
the job as they anticipated they can.
According to Mr.. O.. P Byers the
affairs of the road are now in good
shape. The ties are on the way,
and he expected to wire for the ship
ment of the rails as soon as he
reached Hutchinson. These he says
will come forward promptly and be
on the ground by the time the ties
are laid.
"The competition of the road is
assured by my entire satisfaction"
said Mr.. Myers, 81 am practically out
of it; all. corporate matters are fin
isher and in good condition, the fin
ancing accomplished as believe, and
the material on the way it is now up
to the~ehief engineer and Superinten-
dent to complete the work, which will
of course be supervised by my son,
Walter, who has been a valuable as
sistant in the work accomplished so
far"
Mr.. Byers spoke highly of the fine
spirit of cooperation on the part of
the farmers along the line. He says
they are doing everything possible,
and said he felt under obligation to
them and was bending every effort
to give them the best possible.

The writer has visited some OF
the largest oil field in Kansas and
Oklahoma, but we have never before
seen such a splendid outfit as the
company has placed on its Bunting
lease.
In every detail it is most COM
plete and no one needs have the
least doubt in their minds as to
the best being one of the most thro-
ught ever made in Kansas.
Not only is every part of the
equipment new and substantial, but
not the slightest detail has been over
looked in the equipping or building
of the rig. In fact when we examin-
ed the outfit carefully we marvell-
ed that it was set up and in running
order in such short time, and we
are convinced that the company in
tends making a deep hole at that
place.
With these two wells running in
terest in the oil game is increasing
daily, and there has been more "oil
talk" the past few days than in a
month previously. Some good prices
have been offered for acreage but
very few have been accepted.
There are of course rumor of other
tests to be made but we are of the
opinion that these will await devel-
opments at the Boles we'll.
The Skaer rig has not come yet
and the Seward County Oil and Gas
company is having little trouble
with the hole. When both these fire
up their boilers there will be four
active tests in the Liberal field, and
it hoped that this will come to pass
within the next thirty days at the
latest.

THE WHEAT. MARKET

The terrific decline in the price
of wheat which is earring on the
downward scale all grain products
according to authoritative sources
is caused by two conditions.
The first cause is the difference in
'the exchange rate getween the Unit
ed Safes and the different countries
especially those of Europe; the sec
Ond record production in Argen-
tine, Australia and Canada, as well
as the heavy crop in the United States
Speaking of the first cause it is
shown that the European countries
are at low ebb financially. The
equivalent of a dollar in their money
buying one-fourth to one-third less in
the United States Naturally if their
dollars are worth but seventy-five
cents here their buying power is lin
tied just that much, and the heavy
crops produced in the exporting
countries makes it unnecessary for
them to buy for future needs. Thus
there is stagnation in the wheat
markets which is forcing the price
down.
The National City bank of New
York sponsors the circulation which
deals with the business and financial
outlook. Spreading of the holding
of wheat by the farmers, the writer
says that this is the proper proceed
ure, because it insures a gradual
marketing of the crop, whereas,
should it all be marketed at one time
even lower prices would result. Ac-
cording to the writer there is a pros
pect that the price will not again adj
vance, and there is possibility of
further. decline, at the same time he
says the holding of the crop cannot
be other than beneficial
Great Britain, France and other
borrowing countries are now paying

this is Gripping them financially.
Since this country stopped making

power is lower than at any future

The four inch casing has been

on good authority that the next few

1t will likely take several days to

this is done there is nothing to him

The boiler has been moved closer
to the rig and the drillers have been
busy getting things shaped up for

A trip to the second we'll being

the fact that everything was RUM
