Would Standardize
Livestock Prices
AS Key for Farming

OMAHA. Neb.. Dec. 0.-H r. Me
lntosh, agricultural commissioner OF
tho Omaha Chamber Of Commerce
has plan for the stabillzing Of nrri-
culture by stabilizing the cattle husi-
ness, which he considers the key in
dustry OF farming.
Mr.. Mcintosh would have the
packers agree on minimum price
for standard steers over three months
periods and announce this price sew
eral months in advance.
Il believe the problem Of stabiliza-
tion is so simple that solution OF
II may be reached within few
months" says the Omaha expert. 81
see no reason why the same methods
which have been adopted In all grain
markets are not applicable to the
cattle market. 1t all hinges ON the
producers and packers agreeing on
a standard type OF beef steer and on
a minimum sale price considerable
time in advance of production. This
is neither difficult nor impracticablo." !"
every man In the beef cattle in
dustIy knows thu standard type OF
steer the moment he sees il much
better than the farmer or the elevator
man knows a sample sf No. red
winter wheat The cattle man needs
neither scale nor grading TO confirm
his judgment"
"rhe other day ! presented th,s
problem TO the superintendent OF one
OF the leading packing companies
We readily agreed on the standard
type OF beef. / then presented this
hypothetical case: Supposing there
were only one packing firm IN the
world, and, so, only one buyer in
the market, would II be practicable
TO notify cattle feeders or agree with
them some months In advance OF the
market season that for a period OF
time, say. January, February and
March OF any year, and by three
months periods for the rest Of the
year. that the buyer would pay for
standard steers not less than an
agreed price for the given three
three months period? This packing
house superintendent. without much
hesitation, assented TO the PROPOSE
ton"
Il undertake TO cay that five pack
ers can be made TO agree upon a
standard type OF steer and can be
compelled to stabilize prices by es-
tablishing a minimum buying price
In advance OF production by agree
ment among themselves and with
representatives OF the producers"
II believe in recognizing monopoly
in the packing industry. / believe
proper distribution and sale OF meats
can be effected In no other way"
"a prosperous live stock industry
is at the basis OF any sound. eco
nomic system OF agriculture. This
Is because live stock Is produced
largely from by-products or waste in
farm operations, through consump-
tion OF this waste they restore or
maintain the fertility OF the SOIL

PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION.

The annual report of the president of the American
Bankers association makes the point that extrava-
giant consumption has caused great deal more
trouble the past two years than slack production,
which has been credited with most of existing ills.
No community and no individual ever gets ahead
If consumption equals production If a race of peo-
pie devote all their labor to raising what they need
for food they build cities or develop any
civilization. fixed proportion Of human labor al
ways has to be set aside for improvement of equip
ment
When people spend all their incomes they dis
obey this basic law. 1t is only when they save n
portion of their earnings and invest it in public en-
terprses that add the facilities of production.
that prosperity increases. During the past two
years this normal addition to production facilities
has not been made.

THE REASON WHY.

Should Senator Harding and his associates con-
strue the tremendous landslide to him turning
of the back" of the nation upon the League of Ma
TONS they will, we believe. make wrong analysis
of the underlying causes which will land them far
afield.
Men like Senators Johnson and Borah will insist
that such is the true Interpretation to be placed
upon the results.
AS a matter of fact Senator Harding said many
conflicting things concerning his attitude toward the
League that, had the people voted according to their
understanding of his attitude, they would not have
voted at ALL for few, If any knew his real feelings.
When Taft and Root and Hoover all of whom
favor getting into the league, and Borah and John
son, who irreconcably against it. could all
find room to stand upon his utterances. his state
ments must have been broad indeed
In our Judgment the League entirely
superficial issue with the masses of the people and
- not a moving cause which explains Tuesdays re-
suits. The overwhelming opinion Of Americas we
believe to be in favor of reaching basis which will
allow us to enter the League of Nations
We go step farther and hazard the prediction
that we will be a member of the present League Of
Nations before two years has gone by.
In our judgment the explanation of the result
lies much closer at home. The arbitrary conduct
of President Wilson was factor. People become
out of patience with man who is too unyieding
when there those with whom he should bring
himself into accord, president should do with
the senate.
Even that however, does not explain this phe-
lomena. 1t dollars and cents matter. The
democrats were blamed for all ills. Govern
mental extravagances high taxation, the high cost
of living failure to get off from basis, and
unsatisfactory business conditions made the people
determined to force change.
This sentiment sub-surface but very inn
polling The League issue was raised by the manp-
ulaton of politicians Every partisan tried hard to
be loyal and to force himself to agree with his
party But issue it Unreal People merely
wanted someone else to make try at running the
government. So deep-seated this feeling that
it ran away with every other consideration. This,
to minds, explains the result.

HOW FIT" ARE YOU?

A strenuous campaign is over Many men and
women have worked far beyond their daily supply
of strength. The bank account of reserve energy
has been heavily drawn upon. Perhaps physical
bankruptcy stares some of us in the face.
Or, perhaps, it is not political campaigning. 1t
may he oyer-work or worry. The result is all
the same
Nature tries hard to rebound and will do it when
given fair chance. We unjust to ourselves and
those dependent upon us if we fail to give her that
chance.
Now is the time to get the poison of malice or
of worry out of your system. We ought to have a
friendship day" after political campaigns when we
go and hunt each other up: shake hands and agree
to forget it. You can't hate someone and be healthy
You can't worry and be WELL
Then ought to take affirmative steps for our
physical rejuvenation Long walks, perhaps, the
sunshine and long sleeps in the open air.

BUSINESS INACCURACY.

The records of of the country's leading de =
partment stores, according to u recent settlement,
show errors of various kinds numbering 1850 for
month. OF these 5000 odd merchandise,
while the rest charged against the billing staff.
1t 10 exceedingly annoying to the public to have
errors frequently business transactions.
People constantly having goods delivered wrong
and mistakes made that require time and money and
effort to correct.
good lesson from these figures is to buy goods
of your home store here in Albuquerque. An en-
ploye is much more likely to make an error when
he does not know the customer but breads
the humiliation of making mistake and then get
ting called down personally for it. The store that
deals direct with its townspepole and nearby
dwellers makes the fewest mistakes.

Thursday, November 4. 1920.

| During business hours of this
day kindly stars rule, according to
astrology, but the evening is ex-
ceedingly menacing. Jupiter is in
benefic aspect until late in the
afternoon. Saturn also being friend
lY After shutdown, however,
threatening stars rule, for Saturn
changes to evil sway, while Mer-
curry and Uranus are adverse.
There is a most promising rule
| for business and commerce, the
stars foresadowing organization and
efficiency so well developed that
the greatest profits are assured,
especially in all lines of manufac-
turing.
This is a favorable government
of the stars under which to plan
initiative and extension of business.
All who sell should benefit by
today's posting of the stars. Pro-
fits should be large and sales rapid,
There is sign read as indicating
good luck for men who enter bust
ness partnerships with women,
since the stars seem to presage de-
velopment of the feminine mind
along logical and commercial lines
of thought.
Real estate should be profitable
at this time, women being especial
ly fortunate in the directions of
their stars.
1t was prognosticated two years
ago that the theatrical world would
undergo many changes. This
prophecy is now repeated and the
seers declare that many women
will produce plays and become
managers.
The young of both sexes are
subject to the most inspiring and
stimulating influences at this
time. Many talented boys and girls
will be discovered among Ameri-
cans
A new amusement will be in
troduced from foreign country
and will engage much attention
during the winter.
The highest honor yet bestowed
on woman will be given to a resi-
dent OF the Middle West, the seers
declare.
Persdns whose birthdate it is
may have rather an unsettled year.
They should avoid change and
of their money.
Children born on this day may
be restless and fond of change.
These subjects of Scorpio are often
successful in adventures. Girls
have the augury of fortunate mar
rage.

JOINING A PARTY.

There is considerable number of people who
never affiliate with any political party. They claim
that party is just az good as the other or just
as bad, and they fail to any distinct line of
cleavage.
Many people who take this attitude highly
conscientious and sometimes set up impossib lie
standards. They feel that the party organizations
exist principally to find places for their own
workers.
The people who hold themselves aoof from
political parties because they faulty, tend to
aggregate the very evils they complain of. If all
citizens of this type would engage in political
tivity, attend primaries and caucuses and do n
reasonable amount of political work, they could
exert very considerable influence for good. The
politicians would recognize that they must be con-
suited. But long they remain outside all
party organizations the politicians ignore them and
pay attention their views.
Nearly every has at heart some preference
for party the other. He should enter
the counsels of the other, and do the best he
in his circle to keep it up to higher
standards, One person alone can not expect to
accomplish much But if everyone who cherishes high
standards would do that, there would be a decided
improvement in political life.
