CHESTERTOWN, Nd. Aug. 25.-
The farmers of this county have in
stituted suit in the superior court
against produce dealers to compel the
latter to live up to their contracts
for the purchase of tomatoes. Ac-
cording to the farmers the dealers
contracted for 4s0 acres Of tomatoes
to be shipped to Capt. William Fl.
Cooper and the price stipulated was
80 cents basket. The dealers Of
fered the farmers 80 cents, which
has been refused except by few
farmers.
Farmers say the cost of raising
the tomatoes has been about 500 an
acre. There is not likely to be any
open market. they say. as they have
already sent tomatoes to the city
and have had their baskets returned
on account OF no demand. The gen.
eral opinion Is that the season Will
last only about three weeks longer.
due to the heavy rains of the past
few weeks. There are about 5000
acres which were not contracted for
at all and on which the farmers Will
take no steps to gather in the crop.

BOND ELECTION OF S4,500,000
 |S AUTHORIZED
Board of Supervisors Passes
 Resolution to Call Early Election on Question of
 Additional Road Bonds

A road bond issue of $4,500.oo0 by Maricopa county, subject to the ap- proval of the taxpayers of the county at a special election, has been author ized by the board of supervisors to provide funds to complete the county highway program of 2S0 miles of paved roads. The time of the election on the bond issue will be set after the supervisors have heen submitted a re- port by the county highway commis sion.
 The action of the board of supervis- ors was taken after petition had been presented it, signed by Is per cent of the electors of Maricopa county, asking that an election by the taxpayers be ordered for the purpose of construct ing and improving the highways of the county.
 The proceeds of the s s4,50o000 bond issue, if it is voted by the taxpayers, will be applied to the highway program for which a bond issue of $4,OO0,000 was voted, just fifteen months ago yesterday. The original bond issue, ac- cording to the resolution authorizing the new bond issue, passed by the board of supervisors, has been found made quate to meet the expenses of carry ing out the program.
 More Money Needed The resolution adopted by the board declared that the S4,00O,000 would be insufficient to construct the complete highway program, with the roads of the proper width and thickness, due to the increase in cost of labor and material since the original bond issue was voted, and also due to the fact that not as much federal aid had been found avail able as was expected for the county highway program, including the Glen dale-Phoenix highway. 1t therefore had been decided that additional funds to the extent of s4,500,000 would be needed to carry out the county road program as planned.
 In connection with the resolution authorizing a second road bond issue. subject to the will of voters, the board of supervisors has instructed the county highway commission to investi- gate and report on the public highways of the county with respect to the addi- tiona1 funds needed to carry out the road program, and to additional inn provements. E. E. Hackett, F. T. Hur- ley, A. F. Jones, J. c. Peterson and A A. Carrick. the members of the county highway commission, also have been ordered to furnish bond of $1 ,oO0 each in addition to the bonds given follow ing the first bond election.

The Ideal I7lpeS Sf171ef1f

It is the aim of every investor in se- lecting the security in which to place hls surplus funds, to find one which meets the maximum of the following condl- tions:
 CD security of principal;
 CD repayment of principal at time desired;
 (3) reasonable, definite, regular return;
 (4) ready marketability;
 (5) good collateral or borrowing value;
 (6) freedom from care;
 CD freedom from taxation;
 (8) convenient denominations;
 (9) diversification;
 (1O) freedom from liability.
 To be sure, no one security can con- tain the maximum of all these features. But many securities contain most of them. The selection you make from group of good securities for your funds must be governed by your individual needs.

LITTLE HOPE IN
GERMAN OUTLOOK
American Business Men See
Small Chance for immediate
Improvement.
LOW MARK VALUE IS CAUSE
Specialization Plans and Heavy Tax
alton Add to Unrest Among All
classes-More Willingness to
Work Is Noted.

Berlin.--It has been interesting to
me to observe the reaction upon the
minds of American business men of a
visit to Germany. These men have
come here in considerable numbers
during the last four or five months
Not a few of them had previous knowl-
edge of German business conditions;
hence there was a rather pronounced
optimism among them as to Germanys
economic future.
They knew, some of them. the Ger
many that existed before the war
They knew or had heard of the Ger
man capacity for hard and intelligent
work. for applying science to business
and production and for organizing
manufacturing and trading interests
effectively. Americans of this kind
fancied that they would find the same
Germany of ante-bellum times. So
they came with cheerful spirits as to
their own business prospects; they
felt sure they would be able to sell
goods in large quantities here.
All Disappointed
one OF these Americans called to
see me yesterday. / had met him
some three months ago. soon after his
arrival. Since then he has been most
~ at Hamburg. There is where the
import trade Of Germany before the
war was chiefly conferred, and he
thought. after his disappointment
here, that his best chances would be
among the big importing houses
there. But he came back here again,
disappointed.
The general trend of his report was
that Il is practically impossible to do
business here with American goods
owing to the vast depreciation of the
German currency. The dollar is now
worth about 45 marks, which gives
the latter less than one-tenth of its
normal value. Add 10 this Il e further
fact that all American goods are now
very high In America itself, besides
high freight and insurance rates. and
II may be safely asserted that the Ger
man must nav about ffteen-fold the

munist and Socialist workmen; but the
wiser workmen are losing patience
with those elements and are denounc-
ing them openly. The growing willing
ness to work is also shown by vol
untary return to payment by the piece
on the part of workmen in some es-
adjustments. Not long ago a vote was
taken by the workmen of all the
shipyards of the country on this ques-
tion; but considerable majority was
cast against piecework. This week,
however, the workmen in several big
shipyards at Hamburg and Lubbock
have voted for piecework.
Applied Socialism War.
The same thing has occurred In 9th
er parts of the country. In all such
cases 1t is the workmen themselves
who act; any pressure from the out
side would only make matters worse.
The hopeful thing in all this is that
1t is the older, more reliable workmen
who are taking matters into their own
hands, with the determination to sup
press the young, unruly elements
which had taken control of shop or
ganization in many towns.
But, looking further into the future,
most German manufacturers just now
are filed with grave misgivings about
the development of the relations be-
tween capital and labor. The National
Assembly is soon to pass law for the
establishment of shop councils which
embodies the highest reach of applied
socialism that the world has yet wit
messed.
1t will provide for the election OF
shop councils in all manufacturing and
commercial establishments, except the
smallest ones; and these councils viii
be entitled to elect one or two repre-
sentatives in the boards of directors,
with all the rights of "pay" members.
They win make known the wishes of
the working force and will be entitled
to vote or all questions.
But bis; public expenditures and big
plans for taxation supply othSr
grounds for deep discomfort Err
berger sees clearly the need of a huge
increase in revenues and he is setting
about the task of passing laws TO get it
without much regard for all those local
interests which are still so strong IN
Germany. Under the ante-bellum sys-
tenn the national treasury had TO take
back seat as against the states. The
latter claimed the big revenue-produc-
Ing taxes. the income and general
property taxes, as their own peculiar
preserves, and the nation was warned
to keep off the grass. Erzberger has
changed all that. under the stress OF
the huge revenue demands OF the ma
ton. He has made the nation supreme
in taxation. The income and property
taxes now belong primarily to it. The
states can get only a certain proper
ton Of the revenues raised by the ma
tion.-Wlnlam c. Dreher in New
