UNITED STATES A NATION
WITH A SWEET TOOTH

The United States Is the greatest
candy eating nation in the world.
This may be because we are leaders
in the manufacture Of high grade con-
fectionery.
The candy manufacturing and sell
ing industry has reached point
where 1t is one of the great employ
ing and taxpaying Industries OF the
nation.
Men, women and children eat candy
today. A few years ago 1t would have
been "a strange sight to see prominent
business men go into confectionery
store and purchaes candy for them
selves. Today 1t is common thing
for them to slip bag in their pockets
to eat occasionally during office
hours.
At hotels and high class restaurants
candy is now sold and eaten In place
| of liquor.
In other words candy manufacturing
| is rapidly becoming an Essential In
dustry'' since it demonstrated its ne
cessity as food product during the
tris.ls of the great war.

Tato-P. o. Tato, familiarly known
as Spud. was removed from this
earthly menu at his boarding house
yesterday. The attending physician,
DR.. Hi Price, said profititis WAS the
direct cause OF his demise, and as he
has suffered with tuberculosis for
years he was prepared to die. Mr..
Tato was Of Irish parentage, promin-
ent among rich and poor. High So
ciety carried him on silver platter
and the lowly waitress loved to
warble his name. He was so kind
hearted his best friends skinned him.
Mr. p. o. Tato's chips In the game
OF life we're ever played on the side
OF right, for although he was some
times hardboiled, he did his best in
the dark OF the moon At banquets
and socials he was famous for his
mashing, and he usually came home
with the gravy. He was often in n
peck Of trouble, sometimes being
served in strAit-jac1ret. His daugh-
ter, Seed. and wife, Mrs. Sweet Tato,
survive. The remains will be taken to
the oil fields nearsEl Dorado and
"spudded in" tomorrow. Exchange.

Good Record for Fisk

More than $4,000 miles In 10 months
on the original tire equipment IL tho
record made by the Fifty Fifty raxi
Service company ut Rockford, Ill.
The cars were bought and placed in
commission in March, 1919, and on
January 20, 1920. l.. b. Paulette, sec
retary-treasurer OF the company, made
the following observations regarding
tho excellent service given by the "a
Fisk tires:
Last spring we bought six
Willys-Knight sedans equipped with
Fisk Cord Tires. size 35x5. These
cars have been constantly on the go
since that time and ut present each
one has been driven over IA 900 miles.
The Fisk tires that came on these
cars as standard equipment are stIll
running. and are good for consider
able more mileage. 1t would not be
so surprising to have few Of these
tires run. to xceed $4,000 miles and
still be going. but to have every one
Of them coming up to that high mile
age is certainly unusual and proves to
III that mileage Il built into each and

INCREASING WAGES DOES NOT
RELIEVE PRESENT SITUATION


The minimum wage for women in
California is $3.50 a week. This is
about the highest in the country while
retail costs of food articles according
to U. S. department of labor, are much
less in California, Oregon and Wash
ington cities than in middle west and
eastern cities where minimum wage
schedules are not as high as on the
Pacific coast.
Increases in minimum wage at this
time would not affect many employees
as most of them are receiving more
than $3.50, but it's effect in requiring
an increase for all other workers
would materially raise manufacturing
costs in California.
Further boosting Of minimum wage
schedules kills incentive for individual
effort and increased production as tn
| inefficient worker gets just as muc.
as the good one.
Increasing wages and decreasing
production will eventually bring col
lapse of industrial activity.
The adoption of still higher min
mum wage in California would be tn
signal for crusade for high min
NUNS in other states.
Increased production and not il
creased cost of production Is the nee
| of today to bring down living costs.

The California bean growers have
organized a strong maketing associa-
ton which is non-capital, non-profit
corporation. Every member has equal
power with every other in the matter
of voting, whether he owns one or
1000 acres OF beans. No plan of ad-
vancing cash to members has been
made but the organization has arrang-
ed with bankers to advance money at
six per cent to members who wish to
store their crops. Each member con-
tracts with his local association to
take all of his coming crop II he
does not he agrees to pay a penalty
a two cents for every pound sold out
side of the association. The local as
socfation in7 turn contracts with the
central organization which disposes OF
the crop as soon as the marketing
conditions are right A general pool
Is maintained SO that II one associa.
ton is compelled to hold until the
end of the season and another has
sold early, returns and costs arc
averaged and the net to each Is
equalized. The cost OF operation
brokerage, office expense, etc. is held
to the minimum. The local assocfa-
tions have from five to nine directors
seven being the most common mum
ber. In every state the producers
should organize to stabilize the mar
