cAMoUFLAGE BUSINESS GROWS

Whether it can be properly traced
the war or not, the cosmetic and
perfume business in the United States
has increased 1853 per cen since 1914,
according to a report from the bureau
of the census. Face powder, rouge,
lip sticks and other such articles were
manufactured to the amount of $780,
$50, 100 in 1919, while in 1914 the total
output was SIG, S99, 100. The manufac-
ture Of druggists preparations in 1919
shows q valuation of STA, 500 900, while
in 1914 the total production was only
valued at $4S, OO9, 700. The patent med.
icine business in 1919 amounted to
1912 ,185,7 700 a little over double the
amount manufactured in 1914. We
guess that is making two blades OF
grass grow where but one grew before
besides making the roses bloom on
cheeks where all was pale before.

RAPPINc THE RETAILER

An exchange says that n OF the
easiest things In the world to do is
criticise. 1t is the most popular form
of amusement with some people, and
we're forced to admit we've several In
Brookings addicted to the habit. At
present they're directing their criti.
cism to the retail merchant.
Maybe the merchant doesn't de
serve all the mean things said abou'-
him. Probably i'm his case, as is most
all other cases of violent criticism a
better understanding of his position
would soften the Judgment of the party
doing the criticising. AT any rate, the
merchants we know personally are av-
erage good fellows--and they declare
that they are the victims Of circum-
stances-that they are being made the
particular goats of this readjustment
period.
But. even at that we suggest that
they be more frank with the public.
II their profits are not too great, as
they say, they might try quoting a few
more prices in their advertising that
the public could see and compare them
with those quoted by merchants in
other towns. Nothing could silence
the critic more quickly than TO read
each week a list Of prices OF commod.
tiles offered for sale by his home mer-
chant. He has a fair idea OF what
they cost, so he could do his own fg
uring. He would then have no come
lack. 1t would simply e that the
critic would have the ground i: from
beneath him. and he would have nc
foundation left upon which to base ar
argument. Merchants in many towns
have broken up criticism through
newspaper observation-disclosures quot
ing prices right out where everybody
could see them. We invite the home
merchant to apply the same remedy,

a risk for the British to consider, they
worked out a solution which might
possibly result in maintaining friend
ly relations with the United States and
in keeping agreements with Japan.
That condition could not result from
anything with such certainty as a CON
ference on disarmament land for other
purposes) could bring. Obviously if
certain Pacific problems caused the
slightest uneasiness as between the
Americans and the japanese, Great
Britain's position would be stronger if
they were made to disappear. Some
very wonderful masters of diplomatic
legerdemain can be expected to attend
the conference, il it is unanimously
agreed on, and vexatious problems may
vanish like magic.
The position of the United States,
at the present stage OF the negotiations,
is remarkably strong. For awhile il
was indicated that the initiative might
have to be taken by Great Britain and
Japan. 1t was entirely possible that
America might have to be persuaded to
enter into a conference, with conditions
as they were Even that would have
given the United States an advantage
because concessions would have been
necessary on the part of Great Britain
and Japan. Today the United States
is leading the other powers by having
taken the initiative with nothing to in
dictate that the call is not welcomed
everywhere. The other nations natu-
rally would wait for the United States
to continue the leadership it has as
sumed, which would give the Washing
ton government everything it could de-
sire. More and more it is emphasized
that the nations of the world recognize
the potency of America for good, that
they look upon this country for advice,
suggestions and guidance. 1t would be
difficult to conceive a stronger position
than that enjoyed by the United
States.

ANOTHER BARRAGE COMING

Farmers and weekly newspapers may
n expect to receive a barrage OF
literary propaganda from the national
grain dealers association which recent
Nv pledged $3.50, 900 to combat the activ
tiles of the u. S. Grain Growers, Inc.
The grain dealers and he boards OF
trade say that the new marketing plan
OF the farmers would put out OF bust
ness all of the existing machinery ioi
handling grain, and they are not going
to stand by and see it done. u are
going to fight the farmers with prop
uganda.
In Illinois they are endeavoring to
learn the name and address OF every
farmer In the state so they may send
him literature telling him all of the
advantages Of the board of trade In all
it's purity, and explaining all the man
eating, f~re-breathing, Misunderstanding
features OF the u. s. Grain Growers,
Inc. But the farmers own the U. s.
Grain Growers. Inc. and they won't pay
much attention to the mean things the
Chicago Board of Trade will say about
them. The sensible farmers are going
to go ahead and make a success OF
their marketing organization for they
have started out on sound business
principles on sound business theory.
They have the good will Of the nation
back OF them and have the prosperity
OF the country at heart. In simplest
terms, the farmers are seeking to elimi-
nate waste, waste in the time and ex-
pense in bringing farm products to
the consumer. The old system has
been tried and found wanting. there
is no hope for its survival.

strains Of nuptial music, followed by
the Mendelssohn march as a reces-

three-course dinner was served after
which the evening was spent in a most
pleasant social way, in~terspersed with
instrumental and vocal music.

Henry Ford has made some new
claims to distinction. He has bought
a railroad in Michigan and has been
operating 1t successfully now for some
time In order to shew the other rail-
roads a thing or two. He didn't re
duce wages when the rest did and now
he has announced a twenty per cent
reduction in freight rates. And you
may be sure 1t makes a neat profit
besides. His newest move is to plan
to purchase the huge nitrate plant at
Muscle Shoals from the government
which has cost the government wads
Of money and was about to be aban-
doned as one of the wastes of war.

A BETTER DAY COMING

MISUNDERSTANDING a few days

provide long time credit for the stock
not plan to make loans direct but to
place the money with local bankers
who are in a much better position to
pass on the reliability of applicants for
credit than would be possible for a
board of directors in New York or Chi
cago. The plan is to make loans to
stockmen who wish to buy feeders or
breeders and to make the credits for
a long time SO that the stockman will
not be compelled to rush immature
stock to market in order to pay their
loans.
This is a wise step. Perhaps the
amount is not big enough but if the
plan works out as expected, more
money will be available from the same
source. 1t will soon become possible
for stockmen to buy low priced corn
to feed it to cattle and hogs. This
will help the general public as it will
be an insurance against high priced
meat in the future and should begin
this fall to help out the corn grower
al 1t will result in an increased de-
mand for corn and hence in a better
price. This fifty million dollar bank
ers' pool to help finance the live stock
interests and the 500, 600, 900 grain
corporation to protect the farmer from
losses through selling on a glutted
market are two practical steps which
have been taken lately for the benefit
of the agricultural interests. The next
thing that is imperatively needed is a
lower freight rate and the lex thing
Is better railroad equipment so that
cars for shipment shall Be available
when needed. 1t Is all right to talk
about congress fixing an arbitrary
price for farm products but this is so
unlikely to come and if it does come
Is so certain to be accompanied by so
many conditions that the real leaders

credits, it must be concluded that a

means for all of US, is in sight.

Bank Not Liable for
Investment Agents Acts
Court Finds for Merchants Ma.
tionaI in Suit Brought by
British Capitalists

Justice Platzek, of the State Supreme
Court, handed down decision yester-
Gay against Brenton II. Collins, a re-
tired British capitalist, ninety-seven
years old, in his suit against the Mer-
chants National Bank to recover sew
eral hundred thousand dollars which
Mr.. Collins alleged had been misap-
propriated by the late Charles L. Du-
vale, who had been his agent in this
country for many years.
Mr. Duvale died in January, 1918,
and the alleged thefts did not become
lnown until his accounts were exam
ined after his death. 1t was shown by
the attorneys for the bank that be-
tween 1912 and 1918 the total de-
posts made to the credit of Mr.. Du-
Wales account amounted to $4,205,56
and that s3,l83,950 of this sum did not
Collins. At the death Of the agent
his account in the bank showed a BAL
ance of $63,848.
Mr.. Collins sued the Merchants
National Bank on the theory that the
tank was liable for the diversion of
funds through having knowledge that
the personal checks drawn by Mr.. Du-
vale must have been for the benefit Of
Mr.. Duvale and not for the principal.
In dismissing the complaint Justice
Platzek said: "No official of the bank
had any suspicion that anything was
wrong, and there was no reason for
such suspicion. The plaintiff chose his
Sgent and reposed unlimited trust and
confidence in him. If that confidence
vas betrayed and resulting loss has
fallen upon the plaintiff it must be
borne where it has fallen"
