Men and Business
BY RICHARD SPILLANE.

But for the Erie Canal New York
would have been in a sorry plight
today. In Abe last few months an
immense amount Of freight has come
down from the Great Lakes by that
route and a lot more has gone from
New York up to points along the
canal and beyond. Much more would
have been handled but for the
scarcity of canal boats.
New York spent more than $780,
0o0, 900 on the rebuilding and eniarg-
ing of the canal. The wisdom of the
expenditure has been demonstrated.
What IL the canal traffic had been
added to that which staggered the
railroads?
The canals are coming back"
There was a great mistake made
when the canal system of the coun-
try was allowed TO wither. The
railroads were responsible to a GER
tain degree. They thought competi-
tion by the canals would injure
them. They were mistaken. For
bulk traffic that does not require
speed in transport canal is the
proper channel. There is plenty of
other traffic, good paying traffic, for
the railroads.
Present-day experiences in trans
portation are certain to make the
public more responsive to canal pro-
jects. This country never will have
an ideal method of freight carriage
Until. in addition to an enlarged rail-
road system, its great industrial
centers. traffic centers and mining
sections are all linked up by canals
that join all the great interior
waterways-rivers and lakes-with
the seaboard.
No one who does not know Europe
can appreciate the possibilities of
the canal.
On Wednesday the directors of
the First National Bank, of Gary.
Ind, declared a dividend of II per
cert. At the same time they ordered
that each employe should receive a
IA per cent dividend on his yearly
salary.
Gary seems to be a town of good
ideas. Its school method known
widely as the Gary system. is admir-
able for a town or city of moderate
size.
This. dividend" ssytem for en-
ployes which the First National
Bank has established appears ad-
mirable likewise. 1t embraces the
elements of profit-sharing and CO.
operation. Everybody working un-
der such a plan should feel he has
an interest in the business and do
his best to promote its success.
Various banks in different parts
of the country have profit sharing
arrangements, but, so far as is
known at present, this is the only
case where each employe gets the
same rate OF dividend on his pay as
the stockholder does on his invested
dollars.

me the picture, too, and I prize it
most highly. l would like to thank
him. Do you happen to know his

spoke of was the late Lieut.. Odrien

in Brooklyn. He was the livest

VILLA WILL
TURN FARMER
Is ABOUT TO BANKRUPT MEXI.
CAN GOVERNMENT TO SUP.
PLY HIM WITH AGRICUL.
TURAL IMPLEMENTS

When the Mexican Covernmor,
promised Francisco Villa, the erst-
while Observation-Disclosures, that il
would set him up in the farming busi-
ness as one of the provisions of the
terms OF his recent surrender, it bound
itself to bigger proposition than II
probably thought of at the time
Judging from the itemized reouisi-
ton for farm machinery and euuip-
ment which Villa has Just placed
with the government, he is not 60
ing to be any piker in tilling the soil.
However much the big order may have
shocked the Government officials in
the City of Mexico, it met with the
prompt approval of President de la
Huerta, and it was Immediately dis
patched to Luis Monies de Oca. Mex
lean Counsul at Ell Paso, with in
structions that every item in it be
filled and shipments of same be made
as quickly as possible to Villa at
Canutillo, State Of Durango, where
the land that was granted him by
the Government is situated.
Among the machinery and equip
ment which Villa asked the Govern
ment to supply, are 800 double-row
cultivators, 200 breaking plows, har-
ness for 1000 mules, two modern
threshing machines, so harvesting
machines, 80 moving machines, 400
scythes, 40 scrapers, 300 spades, 300
picks, 300 axes, two large automo-
bile trucks, two tractors, SO harrows
20 iron rollers, two ditch-digging
machines, five gasoline engines, six
irrigation pumping plants, 100 corn
planters, 60 wheat drills and many
other things, the total cost of which
will run up into the thousands of
dollars.
According to Villa, he will have
need for everything he has ordered.
and it is said the Government is per-
fectly willing to humor him in his
extensive farming plans, although
the cost may be something enormous
1t is regarded as a good investment
if it will only keep him off the war
path. Villa is enthusiastic over his
plans for converting the big tract
of land which the Government has
given him into modern farm. He
has already employed large num-
ber of his former followers, and COM
Portable homes will be built for them
and their families. Material has been
ordered for a modern school building
which will be erected upon the farm.
Villa recently expressed the be-
lief that the two things that Mexico
needs most are modern farm imple-
mentS and good schools. He said
that the use Of the wooden stick,
drawn by slow moving oxen, for a
plow, belongs to past age, and that
nothing will give him greater pleas
ure than to devote the remainder of
his life to the demonstration of mod
ern farming methods and educating
the children of his employees. 1t is
his purpose to grow wheat, corn,
beans and cotton as principal crops.
