They can be made very bad, however.
by popular hys.eria. That we should
avoid above all things"
The Boston News Bureau, which is
one of the most candid and reliable au-
thorlties in the United States on fnan-
cial matters. says
"There is nothing at all serious in the
banking situation in Boston. Some
banks identified with Ponzi and with
Burrell finance are getting little upset
and their managers are learning some
thing they have not before appreciated
the value of conservatism, especially
when you are dealing with other peoples
money and lending on time and promis-
ing TO pay ON demand"
The Boston scare seems to be over.
Money rates are high and are likely to
remain so for some time. This is due IN
no slight degree to the fact that for the
last six months the banks have been
gradually improving their financial con-
ditions Bank men for long time have
realized that we were going to enter an
era of slowly declining prices. They
have been reducing the amount OF loans
already outstanding to point of abso-
lutte ultimate safety and making new
loans with careful thought to a gradual
decline in the business of the country.
In many lines great progress has been
made in reducing stocks of goods and
liquidating loans to the merchants who
held them. 1t is fortunate that so many
business interests have forecasted the
future as the banks have done and have
Joined with them in sane and conserva-
tive financing. The result of this fore
sight and action on the part of the banks
in cooperation with a vast number OF
our business men is an assurance that no
financial crash is likely to occur in this
| country.

OF late years there has been growing
tendency to equip boots and shoes with
rubber heels to act as human shock abb
sorbers. How many there are used pro-
badly is not known, but the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio,
turned out $4,000 individual heels one
day recently, or enough to equip 1856, 600
persons. 1t took $50 persons to produce
this number, each worker furnishing
heels for 625 pedestrians.

VALUE OF GOOD BULLS

The first cross of purebred bull
on the average dairy herd increases
the income $32 per COW. These figures
were secured in the province of On
tario in a comparison of 140 herds
using grade bulls and 81 using pure
breds. Rex E. Willard of the farm
management department Of the North
Dakota Agricultural college shows
that if one farmer with 20 cows using
grade bulls received an income of
$1,680, his neighbor, with 20 cows but
who began using purebred bulls five
years ago, should receive $2,320, or
$640 more.

an example. About two years ago
this man bought an 8-16 tractor to
help out with the rush plowing. He
took his plow horses, put them to do
ing light work, and hitched the trac-
tor to the gang they had been pulling.
He didn't want to take an extra
man to ride the gang, because labor.
was scarce. and high, and the result
was that the plows would not pene-
trate because the gang was too light
to secure penetration without rider.
1t also ran away and gave trouble in
many other ways.
But this farmer could not see what
was wrong SO he worried along with
this and other light implements until
he had lost enough time and had
broken enough Of the light machinery
to twice pay for all the new equipment
he needed in the beginning. The end
of it allwas that he became soured on
power farming and Knocked" it with

This ad was the obituary notice of
power farming In that nelghborhood,
when it should have been monument
to the ignorance and ideas of false
economy of the man who tried to use
light machinery to do heavy work, and
machinery designed for one thing to
do the tasks of other machines.
When you start out to do power

can't start in way that assures sue

NOT A NATION OF NINNIES.
Cincinnati Enuuirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
A bill to prevent transmission by
mail or wire of any record Of bet
ting odds has been introduced in
the United States Senate. Such a
law would be offensive and an in
suit to American manhood. Prohi-
bition already has cast such asper-
sion, for, in the last analysis, pro-
hibition laws are a false announce
ment that the men of America lack
the self-restraint and the intellect
ual virility to be their own guard
ians and, like little children, must
be kept in leading strings.
1t is only the well-known condi.
tons by which prohibition has come
to pass that remove the degrading
reproach, the citizens Of the United
States having pronounced for pro-
hibition with a view to the, exigen-
cies of the war which, at the time,
did not promise speedy victory
and demanded that every sacrifice
should be made.
The bill in question, however,
cannot be justified on any such
grounds. 1t is a barefaced attempt
10 control the personal rights, dis
cretions and habits of men by act of
Legislature, branding them as idiots
or little children who must be kept
under restraint.
1t is no answer to say that money
is lost in gambling. If one has not
the mental strength to keep away
from gambling or to hold it within
his means, he is in the minority.
But no imputation must be cast
upon American men for the benefit
of persons who are incapable of
self-restraint. We are not nation
of ninnies, and we should not be
stigmatized as such by Congress.
