WORKERS WILL BUILD OWN
COOPERATIVE HOTEL

Newllano, La, July "a new ho-
tel, built on the grouped-buildings plan
(which would cost 100000, is contem-
plated by the workers in the commun-
iity of Llano Colony, La.
While the workers have always built
lall the hotels, and beautiful homes,
this hotel will be built for the accom-
mediation of the workers themselves.
AT meeting of the co-operators held
last night, tire matter Of building was
discussed, and further arrangements
will be made and plans secured.
This action arises out Of the recent
purchase of the whole town of Stables,
La. by these co-operators. wherein
they obtained possession of about $50
900 in buildings and sheds and houses
left by the lumber company when they
recently finihsed saving here.
Job Hartman, president of the Col
ony, is in Los Angeles. CAL, consulting
architects regarding plane for the new
structure.
Among the contemplated ideas will
be series of dOrmitories for single
men, for married people, and apart
ment suites for families. Grouped
around the central building, which will
probably house the kitchen, dining
rooms, library, reading rooms, Iaun-
dry and power house, will be the dor
mitories, amusement halls, etc, and,
later, individual homes will surround
the entire group.
The spot selected for the hotel is on
the highest point overlooking the new
state highway and railroad depot at
Newllano, near Leesville.
Work will be begun soon on one Of
the dormitories, as the present small
hotel is now much too small.
These co-operators do not believe in
building hotels for others to live in,
nor sowing for others to reap. They
believe IN complete cooperation, and
every product of the communal effort
belongs to the community as a whole.
Nearly 100000 bricks, colony-made, |
are already available. and this indus
try will be kept busy for years to sup
ply the housing needs of this ever
growing cooperative colony.

HENRY FORD SUPPORTS U. S.
DISARMAMENT PLANS

Henry Ford, of automobile fame, is
a strong advocate of domestic and in
ternatiOnal peace. In recent inter
view, he expressed his intention to back
up President Harding in his disarma-
ment program to the limit and declar-
ed that the way to secure disarmament
is for every man to put his soul into
the work, find out the influences that
are seeking to promote the war busi-
ness, and by focusing the spot light
of public opinion upon them, to force
them to line up for disarmament. The
munition manufacturers and the Amer
lean exploiters of other nationalities
must be squelshel, for it is they and
they alone that instigate war and pro-
fit by war.

HENRY FoRD'S EFFICIENCY

Mr.. Henry Ford has. during the last
few months. achieved a success thar
ought to be an example and an inspir-
alton to American business. The Wall
Street Journal. which six months ago
ridiculed Mr.. Ford's declaration that
he could get on without aid from the
bankers, now calls his recovery the
marvel Of the motor industry 1t
shows that though six months ago M.
Ford owed $85,O00.0OO, with his
plants closed down and unsold cars
piled to the roofs Of his storehouses.
he has now paid his debts, the conges-
ton of stored cars is relieved, the pub
lie is buying. and his plants are rum
ming full capacity.
This gigantic task was accomplished
largely BY forcing the cooperation Of
Ford dealers throughout the country.
Mr.. Ford reduced prices to consumers
and insisted that all his agencies sell
their stock. He shipped cars to them
BY the car load, whether they wanted
them or not. Where local dealers re-
presented that they could not make
sales, he established new agencies. or
changed the management of the old
ones, with the result that the cars were
sold. thus justifying Ford's belief that
the public would buy them at reason
able prices if the right kind Of selling
service could be established.
Why could not grain dealers and
millers have done the same thing with
food productsp IF the people can buy
they certainly can buy me-
cessary food. if it is offered to them at
reasonable prices. And if food sup
plies, clothing and other necessaries
from farm products had
been once started moving at a normal
rate, the greater part Of the existing
business depression would have been
avoided. There would have been com-
oaratively few business losses and lit
lie unemployment, so that the entire
business and industrial situation might
nave been, and might still be relieved.

FINE CHANCES TO LOSE

We hear so much about the making

be valuable. Monroe reports that in
seven or eight North louisiana parish

drilled to a considerable depth, until
the hackers of the enterprise were sat
isfied that there was no hope Of a
strike, and have been abandoned. Der
ricks shave been built on IS other To-
cations, but no drilling was done, ow-
ing to the failures of nearby test wells.
and are likewise abandoned. Drilling
for oil or gas is expensive and. the out

better put it into the savings bank or

Getting Ready for Channel Tunnel.

the railway station platforms through

to fit the trains will take several

every platform in both freight and
passenger stations will have to be al
tered"
The distance the platforms are be-
Ing set back is two inches. This will
allow a good clearance for the CON
tinental sleeping cars, and also the
large freight cars.
The "gauge" (the distance between
the rails) of the continental trains is
roughly half an inch wider than the
British standard, but the shaping of
the tread of the wheels makes it pos
sible for trains of both British and
continental system to run on the same
track without risk of accident.

ALL LIVESTOCK TABOOED.
UPON 1O,OOO-ACRE FARM

Winnipeg. ManitOba.-The first
horseless farm in Canada - possibly
in the world = has arrived. Operat-
ed exclusively by machinery, it is so
successful that many believe it is the
fOrerunner of an era of horseIess
farms.
The farm of Schaal and Schaal,
twenty-five miles northwest of here.
is not only houseless, but there is not
single head of live stOce on it.
Schaals. father and son, do all the
plowing, seeding, harvesting, thresh-
ing and transportation of grain on their
l0,000-acre farm with tractors. -Four
hundred horses would be needed to do
the same amount of work. Besides
the forty tractors, large number Of
automobiles are used in seeding and
harvest time to transport farm hands
from one part of the farm TO another.
Four years experience" " said the
elder Schaal, has convinced us that
the cost Of grain production is great
ly cheapened and the profits conse-
quently largely increased BY horseless
farming.

FARMERS AND LABoRERS
TO COOPERATE In CAL.

Sacramento, Caiif.-At a meeting
of the state executive board Of the
California State Lodge Of Machinists
held here, five farmers appeared as
representatives of the Modesto Coop
erative Garage and farmers union
Of that district TO discuss plans for
closer cooperation between farm and
city producers.
The matter Of the cooperative gar
age was considered at length, the ma
chinists being interested in the story
of how the farmers of the Modesto
district had organized and operated
the garage for their own benefit. The
farmers declared the garage had been
a success from its inception and that
not only were the best Of conditions
and pay given to the employees. but
the farmers were reaping great bene-
fils IN lower prizes for repairs to
pleasure and other gasoline vehicles.
It is planned to formulate an organ
ization for a statewide cooperative So
ciety to be known as the Farmer-L-a-
Dor Coop. System. Under the pro-
posed system farmers and workers win
seek closer relations SO they can gain
economic advantage and carry out
legislative programs.

fame at the Interstate Farm Congress
in New Orleans, September l2-l7.
The girl judged to be the prettiest at
tending the Congress will win golr
den apple, offered by local jeweler,
and chance to become famous in the

A. F. Lever, member Of the Farm
Loan Board, and author Of the fam
Gus Lever act, has notified the pro-
gram committee that he will arrive in
New Orleans on the morning Of Sep
tember IS, and speak that afternoon.
Much interest is attached to his visit
in connection with Federal Land Bank
matters of Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Alabama. He has arranged to address
meeting Of land bank secretaries
from these states.
An elaborate program of instruction
is being worked out. 1t is devoted
principally to marketing problems and
secondarily to production matters. Us
ually it is the other way around. If
there is one thing city man likes more
than anything else in the world, it is
to tell a farmer how to farm. He
couldn't tell radish from a furrow,
but he knows all about diversification
and likes to rub it in. If he stumbled
over a grindstone in the dark, he would
diversity.
But a problem lies in marketing.
There are parts of Mississippi and Ala
bama, for instance, that will be produc-
ing surplus of vegetables, if channels
of distribution are not developed. In
the meantime people in cities are pay
ing as high as the dickens, and when
they ask why, the dealers say there
is a scarcity. So it is a question Of
selling the goods that would otherwise
rot in the ground. And the main pur-
pose of the congress is to bring the
farmers into closer touch with the
markets of the cities.
Truck growers and farmers in the
three states have a just complaint
against the produce dealers Of New
and this is one of the princi-
pal things tire farm congress will at
tempt to remedy. There have been
times when the produce dealers did
not pay the market price, when they al
owed truck to remain in cars until It
was near the rotting point, and when
hey have declared that shipments
lid not arrive. One of the chief con-
:erences will be between truck growers,
produce dealers and county agents in
IN effort to reach some basis of fair
leaIing and good will that will enable
he trucker to send his surplus to New
Orleans and know he will get square
leal.
The railroads have granted rate
# one and one-half fares on the certif-
cate plan for the congress. Under
his plan, delegates will buy one-way
icket to New Orleans and get re-
eipt from the ticket agent. This re-
eipt will be signed at the farm con-

Special Dispatch to The Tribune


NEW HAVEN, Oct. 24.-There was
no let-down to-day in the work of the
Yale varsity eleven, and seven of the
the scrimmaging. Charley O'Hearn ran
the regulars through a dashing thirty
minute playing period, in which four
scores were made.
Early in the drill O'Hearn heaved a
long forward pass to Eddy at the 30
yard line. Although Eddy mutfed, Hui
man caught the ball, saving the play.
With the varsity unable to gain
O'Hearn lifted a field goal from the
38-yard line.
The varsity then uncorked series
of short gains, netting seventy yards,
and Wight finally took the bali across.
After the cond-string players had
been injected into the lineup Rolly
Knapp shot across the goal line for
two touchdowns, the second closing a
thirty-yard run.
Rob Ripple, OF Pierre, S. D., one of
the scrub halfbacks, was tackled by
John Mackay and was found to have
fractured rib. He will be out of the
game the remainder of the season. Joe

In Fine Condition
For Center Game
Entire Squad Available, In
Guiding Players Who
Have Been OH Sick List
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. "a. - The
normal Monday football practice took
place at Harvard this afternoon, but
there was an unusual number of play
ers in civilian clothes. In this col
lection were Captain Kane, Eskie Clark
George Owen, Vinton Chaplin, Al Ladd
and Roscoe Fits, all of whom started
in the Penn State game; Charley
Tierney and Percy jenkins.
Manager Higgins announced that
every member of the squad would be
ready to play against Center College
Saturday if necessary.
After blackboard talk an outdoor
session of fundamental drill and rum
ming through signals followed. Hub
bard and Brown, the big guards; Ma
comber and JaniH, the ends, and
Charley Buell. at quarterback were in
the varsity lineup, little the worse
for wear after Saturday.
"Tubby" Grew, the regular right
guard, has not yet reported. He has
been out over week with cold. Frank
Herman was at center, and the tackle
positions were filled by Phil Kunhardt
who is back in shape again, and
Barklie Henry.
Winnie Churchill, who made the
touchdown which gave Harvard an op-
portunity to tie Saturdays game;
Mitch Gratwick, and Erwin Ghrke
formed the varsity backfield.

to-day that he was strongly in favor
of having Penn State back on the
schedule next fall. He thought that

Syracuse Players Say
Pitt 'Stole'' Signals

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. PA
story Is going the rounds here
among those who saw the game and
among the Syracuse University
players that Herb Stein, Pitts
burgh's star center, was aware of
the Syracuse signals at the contest
last Saturday, which Pitt won by S5
to 0.
1t is said that whenever a SYRIA
cuse signal was called Stein would
shift and go to the place where the
play was to go. And he seldom made
mistake in picking the point where
the Syracuse backs were to be sent.
Besides this, Stein told other Pitt
players to watch certain places on
the line, and invariably the play
happened there.
