ORIGIN or WORDS.

In tracing a few German words TO
their origin, and showing how acts and
ideas became associated and fixed in
the Language. Professor Grummann
has touched on one Of the most fas-
chatting branches Of study. The pur-
suit o. a-sword back through the ages
to its beginning takes the student TO
the fountain of man. Real beginnings
are lost In antiquity, so that we can
only know of the first spoken words
by surmise based on hypothetical sup
port, but somewhere written language
appears, and while 1t shades Off into
the mists that hide the past, 1t gives
record of mans struggle upward.
The gradual Improvements in service
and adaptability of words clearly
mark the progress OF man. His In
creasing needs. flowing from his ex-
pandlng intellect. required new and
better means for expression, and his
social growth is clearly established by
the development of his language. Eth
nologic divisions are indicated lin
guistically as well as physically, al
though the tongue IL the end depends
on environment which determines the
life of the race in all it's attributes
and manifestations. Thus words and
their uses become IN almost inerrant
index Of the status Of the users.

In these days it sometimes seems
as if ali the world was motoring. This
condition has brought into the ranks
of automobile users a great number
OF people who have had no previous
experience in the care of vehicles up

for example, the training in driving
horses which has proved of assistance
TO many man when he has first I'M

taken against them as q class would
be unfair and would defeat its pur-
pose, says Boston Transcript. How to
educate those among them capable OF
becoming skillful drivers and how to
eliminate the unfit are questions
which will call for careful considera-
ton.

HOUSE GRANTS FARMERS
 RIGHT TO ORGANIZE

The house has passed and sent to the senate the bill permitting farmers, planters, ranchmen, dairymen or fruit growers to combine for the collective marketing and sale of their own pro- ducts notwithstanding antitrust laws.
 Debate developed sharp division of opinion, supporters of the bill declar- ing it would give farmers and other producers an opportunity to negotiate a fair price fo rtheir products. Op- ponents asserted it would increase the cost of living and that it was class legislation.
 Limitations included in the bill, said by its supporters to be designed to ex- clude from it's benefits all but actual farmers, provide that the combina- tions may be organized but must not pay more than eight per cent dividend annually on capital stock, and that ev- cry member must have one vote, ir- respective of his invested capital.
 Control of the combinations under the bill would be placed in the secre- tary of agriculture, who may after hearing, order the combinations to stop practices which held to restrain trade or lessen competition. The sec retary also would be empowered to sue in federal court for enforcement of his orders.

BRADSTREET'S REPORT
 ON WOOL SITUATION

Little wool has sold in the Boston market this week, fine wools being scarce and low and medium wools not wanted. Prices are very low for the latter, but this does not stimulate sales. Buying has practically stop ped in the west, though scattering clips are being taken and consign- ments are being made freely. The end of the British auctions this week at tracted attention in the trade, though the wools are distinctly inferior to previous offerings. Thursdays sales showed prices 10 to 20 per cent off, and only one-third of the wools offered were taken. Pieces that brought $1.l0 to $1.25 three weeks ago sold slightly below dollar. Lower prices are predicted all along the line, not only at auctions, but at private sale and in the west. Cancellations of goods ordered are reported increasing, being now extended to worsted goods as we'll as mems wear woolens and women's dress goods. The way the railroads have fallen down on the transporta- tion problem is causing grave concern to wool men, as great difficulty has al- ready been experienced M handling the new clip, and the trouble seems to be getting worse. English markets are easier, and already show declines from the recent London wool sale. No feasible plan of wool control in Aus tralia has yet been proposed, and cv- erything points to free market for American buyers after June 30.

SENSATIONAL SHORTAGE
 IN NATIONS LIVESTOCK

Woeber Smith, cashier of the First National bank, called the attention of The Sun to the following statement by Henry A. Moehlenpah, newly appoint ed member of the Federal Reserve board. MT. Smith believes the facts cited below are not only interesting, but of extreme importance to our cat tlemen and should encourage them to increase their production just as far as they are able. Of course, as the price of beef goes up, as it inevitably must, according to MT. Moehlenpah's state ment, the price of mutton will also in- crease. This augurs we'll for the fu- ture prosperity of this section if the stockgrowers take due advantage of the situation.
 Mir. Moehlenpah's statement follows:
 The great shortage in live stock to
The Coconino sun., 1920-06-04

continue for some time to come, opens up a splendid opportunity for the banking world and investors to bene. fit their financial resources while help. ing the world in great emergency.
 The needs are imperative. They es. pecially center in Europe, where we have been told conditions are calami. tous and require instant and generous attention. The conditions stun the imagination.
 Let us scan our own side of the led. ger. In the matter of beef supply. the total U. s. exports for the year 1914 were 33,0O0,O00 pounds. Four years later, in 1918, during the war, they in. creased to 100000, ,000 pounds, and in 1919 they approximated 28O,0OO, ,OOO ponnds, or nearly nine times that of the last normal pre-war year.
 This increase in five years means that the beef supplies have been cut to the bone. Information from the dairy districts indicate marked encroach- ment upon the dairy herds for beef slaughter. At the close of 1919 most large livestock communities, such as Texas, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho, showed that the breeding stock had been reduced to less than 50 per cent of normal. Herds were re- duced and thin cows, heifers and un- finished beef came to the markets in unusual volume.
 During the first eleven months of 1919, the total receipts of cattle at the six principal markets in the United States were 9,962, ,00O head against 1O,- 751 900 in the corresponding period in 1918, a decrease of 789,00O cattle.
 When a country is short of female breeding cattle as the United States is today, the total necessities of growth require at least seven years to replen- ish the ranks of breeding females and produce normal crop of beef steers ready for slaughter.
 For the first time in the history of this country a good milch COW is worth more than horse. In 1890 we had 26 cows per hundred of population, and in 1919 only 22. One must bear in find the great increase in popula- tion of the land in this thirty-year period and that the population has centered in the cities, and one will grasp the importance of an enlarged producing program if we are to do our part as producers of milk pro- ducts as we'll as meat in this hour of the worlds need.
 When the league of nations or the treaty has been completed and the credit program has been reconstruct ed, and when the nations of Europe come to buy in this country to replen- ish their herds, for this is the only country they can come to, the bank ing world will understand what all this means. Our exports constantly increasing will make heavy draft up on the production, with consequences related directly to the home supply and price levels.
 One indeed cannot emphasize too much that the ratio of slaughter of herds has exceeded that of production during the last five years. The eyces- sive marketing during that period is no indication of over production but rather of depletion. The cattle in crease in the last four years at the seven principal markets of 6,000,000

head, or more than S3 per cent mean. rapid desctruction.
 It is predicted that the coming cen sus will demonstrate that the annua cattle estimates will show a grossly exaggerated condition in the number of cattle in this country, and especial ly the breeding stock.
 It will take two whole generation! of live stock before it will be possibl, | to supply the country with a norma quantity of beef for the block. 1 Here is where one is confronted by the outstanding need of the farmers, { need bankers must meet in the next | few years. It will have to be done il the world is to continue living; it can not live on without food, it's wheat. and it's meats.
 In a general sense, the farmer vii need machinery, tractors, seeds ant labor-saving devices, which must be provided through financing by the banks, but the farmer will need funds still more to carry over for the neces. sary period all female stock for breed. ing purposes.
 It is unthinkable of course that the banks will not respond. The invest. ment world will see it's opportunity. A great means at the service of the banks in this instance will be the Fed eral Reserve system which they have at their command and which was es- tablished for the purpose of stabilizing the agricultural as well as the indus trial and commercial activities of the country. No paper will come to the Federal Reserve system more accept able and more eligible for rediscount than that of the farmers and livestock producers.
 The need of the hour is for greater production. The war financially has just begun. Every dollar should count for production.
 These are the fundamental stones in these days of reconstruction. The fundamentals must be especially stud jed and there is nothing more funda- mental than the food supply-the wheat, the cattle, the dairy products. They should be the banks first con- cern and that of the investor, who will be able to kill two birds with one stone-helping himself by helping oth- CTS.
 There is a great shortage of most things, and the needs will have to be supplied by an extension of credit, dis criminately effected, the most press ing needs being served first In con- nection with farm products there is no reason why this should not be most readily extended.
 Furthermore, in the export situa- ton and much in the way of livestock products will be exported, thus elim- mating any surplus, if a surplus can be conceived of as existing in the next few years. A great instrumentality of good has been devised in the Edge Act, which furnishes the machinery with private capital and control but with government supervision and which will provide in a large measure means for financing the exports of our country so that credit may be extend ed and rationed in an orderly fashion.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT

Winter-wheat prospects have im- proved with better growing weather and more moisture over the greater part of the southwest and central west. The crop in Illinois and Indiana is more or less spotted. Much acreage reported abandoned will not be plow- ed up, owing to scarcity of labor. Con- dition on the whole is better than last week. Kansas has the promise of over 100000, ,000 bushels, against 150,- 900, 900 bushels last year.--Bradstreets.
