NO SURPLUS OF GOODS-BUY NOW

One for the so-caed consumers strke which has
led millions OF people to stop buying supplies has been wide
spread idea that there stored somewhere great surplus
manufactured goods People have believed if they off
long enough this surplus would have market at re-
duced prices.
Commercial authorities declare this theory has no oun
datlon They point out that for the past months tendency
In prices has clearly been downward Hence during that period
anyway producers would not manufacture goods advance
their orders Wholesalers and retailers have all been going slow
about stocking and has been accommodating any surplus
Up to nine months everyone talking insui
cent production Factories could not deliver merchandise fast
enough Dealers were begging for deliveries Business authorities
were agreed that production behind consumption felt
that the waste and destruction of had depleted stocks
OF all kinds of good that would take long time to make up the
deficit
So stocks very bare winter and as every counsel
oil prudence would forbid anyone from going the co
ys needs since that time it certain that there no
great surplus of merchandise hand anywhere lively buying
movement on the part the people from until March would
leave many shelves BARE and there would sudden Jump in
business activity.
Hence the people who holding back from buying the
things they really need have their alb

LICENSING BROKERS
GOOD SUGGESTION
Bill Should Be Enacted Compelling
Brokers To License and Forbid
ding Trade Beyond Their
Resources,

Are the men to whom you sell your
farm produce responsible to the
amount you trust. them? In other
words, in case of failure or a SHARP
decline in prices would you be paie;
for the produce you have worked so
diligently to raise?
If the losses to farmers through
unreliable buyers could be computed
the amount would be most surprising.
Business men, in their relations
with customers, look into the fnan-
cial rating Of the customers,
Farmers have the privilege of investi-
eating the financial standing of the
buyers on their markets and should
take advantage of the privilege What
right has anyone to expect a profit
from your goods, when in event of
price decline he could not pay for
them?
There are "gold brickers" who trav-
Il from one market to another and
leave a trail of losses behind them.
These men should be kept off the
market as they not only beat the far
mer, but make it harder for a legiti-
mate buyer to do business. The nan
who does not expect to pay you for
your produce can afford to offer what
ever is required to buy it and the man
who must see a profit in the goods in
order to stay on the market is forced
out of business ultimately.
Bills have been suggested which
would help remedy this situation. a
bill making it necessary for every
buyer to license and to have limita-
tons placed upon the amount Of
goods he will be allowed to buy, on
the resources he is able to produce,
would be beneficial. No matter how
honest person may be, he should
not be allowed to trade to the extent
that his resources would not give Il
safe margin to guarantee his losses,
S the matter now stands brokers'
are allowed to buy many times as
r,uch as they could possibly pay for
if the market should turn.

NEW FUEL FOR
GAS ENGINES
is INVENTED

Rome, Aug. 26.-Through the in
vention Of a gas generating mixture
composed of alcohol and a sulphur
carbon combination, the cost of oper-
ating automobiles and all internal
combustion motors can be reduced
one-half, according to the claims Of
Engineer Sesti, who after exhaustive
experiments under the auspices Of the
Italian government has just complet-
ed a report on the possibilities of the
new combustion.
The use of the new gas generating
mixture p~re-supposes the employ
ment Of a special kind of carburetor,
which Signor Sesti has devolved.
The experiments have been in
progress ove a period OF almost
three years, and were begun with a
special view of lessening the cost or
automobile fuel. * \
h new fuel has a density greater
than that. of gasoline IL the ratio of
925 to $50. 1t Is urged that the
adoption Of the fuel will consider
ably lessen the im~portations of for
efgn gasoline: Practically all the raw
materials necessary for the new fuel
can be found in Italy.
The inventor claims that the ex-
haust a is less obnoxious to the
lungs than the fumes of gasoline.
The use of crude alcohol to the
proportion of 70 per cent is employed
in the fuel. while the remaining 80
per cent is taken UP by the sulphur
carbon Combination. 49,

Copenhagen, Aug. 26.-There ia
comparatively little m in the
Baltic owing to the disparity in ex-
chanse rates. Danish dairy products,
mans, bacons and other foodstuffs
which formerly went to Germany can
no longer find a market there because

Germans going from Warnemunde

man merchants to buy Danish butter

Consequently the Danes must depend
Tor a market on countries which also
nave high exchange. Recently they
have tried butter and cheese shin,
ments to the United States.
The Danish market is glutted with
foreign manufactured goods which
have been assembled in the hope of
invading the Russian market. Shop
windows are filled with American
goods. California timed fruits and
American shoes of all sorts are esne-
ciany prominently displayed. Ba-
nanas are abundant in the markets

contrast to the German cities, where

Shops of all sorts in COPENHAGEN

German cities, where the government
import regulations have kept out

followed the drop in prices, but SO

CAN EMPLOY TEACHERS.

Pierre, S. D.. Aug. 26.-There is
nothing in the laws Of South Dakota
to prevent a board Of a common
school district before the annual cleo
ton on the third Tuesday Of June,
from employing teachers for the next
term, so long as there Is nothing to
indicate an abuse of discretion. unfair
dealing, fraud or collision for the
purpose of doing something detri-
mental to the interests of the schools.
according to a recent opinion of v.
r. Sickles, assistant attorney general.
This question was raised by F. w.
Sellers, states attorney Of Custer
county, who stated that the officers
Of a common school district in his
county, prior to the regular meeting
Of the board in July, employed all the
teachers for the, following term. After
the board was organized following the
annual election Of one new member.
he continued, it was dissatisfied with
the teachers 80 employed and wanted
to break the contracts.
Mr.. Sickles cited several court de-
cisions from other states having SINH
lar laws governing common school
district boards. which uphold his
opinion.
