An Example to Profiteers

The action of Judge Gary, head
of the Steel Corporation, in refus-
ing to increase the price of steel
even though the market warranted
it should serve as an example to
profteers who are charging for
their product all that the people
will pay. Some of the steel stock
holders indicated that they We're
anxious to boost prices, take larger
profits, and charge all that the
public would stand But Judge
Gary and and his fellow members
on the board of directors refused
to surrender to the impulse of
cupidity exhibited by some of the
stockholders. In so doing they
looked to the future rather than
the present, and saw that the vel
fare and stability of their own
company depended on the con-
tinued prosperity of the country
at large.
Unless the progressive increase
in prices is brought to a halt there
will some day come a crash, in
which the men who have squeezed
all that they could from the public
when they had the opportunity
will lose most of the money they
extorted. When concern Of ma
tional importance like the Steel
Corporation has extended it mark
cts to all parts of the country it
realizes that if its volume of bust
ness is to continue and expand it
must contribute to the underlying
causes that make for national hap
piness, contentmentand prosperity.
Just as the local merchant is solic-
itous for the well-being of his pa
trous in their own community, SO
is the big corporation concerned
for the prosperity Of the people in
its nation wide markets.
But the small retailer must
learn to look to the future just as
the steel company is doing He
must not make the mistake of en-

100000 Sparrows Killed
By Winter Drive in Utah

Seven hundred thousand Eng.
lish sparrows, each eating six
quarts of wheat a year, would
mean a feed bill of more than
$131 600. Therefore, the killing
of 100000 English sparrows means
that amount of money saved for
the farmers concerned. And
nearly 100000 sparrows were killed
in statewide campaign in which
1888 Utah farmers joined forces to
get rid Of the pests during the
winter months.
County agents helped in the
campaign, which used 5 5,243 pounds
Of poisoned bait. In most cases
the bait was made of wheat pois-
oned with strychnine. 1t was put
up in one-quarter- pound bags in
the county agents Office. Full
instructions were printed on the
bags for the use of the poison.
Each cooperator receiving the
bait agreed to report on the results.
Usually the sparrows were enticed
for few days by putting unpois-
oned bait in places not frequented
by other birds and also inaccessi-
BILE to the poultry of the farm.
Then few grains Of poisoned
wheat were put out each day.
The dead sparrows were gathered
up, counted, and either burned or
buried every few days to prevent
the sparrow population from be-
coming suspicious. The number
of sparrows counted by each far
mer was reported to the committee
men or the county agent at the
end of the season S work.
As many as 24o dead sparrows
were gathered up as the result OF
single package OF poisoned
wheat.
