MARKET REPORTS AID TRADE
Government Helps Farmer by Giving
Out information Regarding Sup
plies and Prices.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
In strict sense there can be no
such thing as a flair trade" when
either party has the advantage Of
vastly superior information. Up to the
time the bureau of markets and crop
estimates of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture was estab-
llshed most transactions in the mar
keting Of farm products were, In this
sense, unfair. This was due to the
fact that the buying side almost in
variably had vastly better informa-
ton regarding supplies, both available
and prospective, future production,
prices, current throughout the country,
and probable movements Of the prod
ucts.
Placing the farmer on the. same
footing with the buyer, so far as in
formation is concerned, so that the
element of chance applies equally to
both, is the aim of the Department Of
Agriculture. For this, it gathers ev-
cry available scrap Of information re-
lating to supplies, current quotations,
and other fundamental conditions in
fuencing markets, arranges the infor-
nation in readable form, and makes
1t readily available to everyone having
use of it.
Before the department took up this
work, the farmer was not wholly with
out market reports. Newspapers, trade
journals, telegraph companies, and
many other organizations, as well as
individuals, distributed in the rural
districts reports that purported to be
market information. Unfortunately
for the farmer, however, many of these
reports originated with buyers of farm
produce, or from sources controlled or
dominated by such interests. Under
these circumstances 1t was but natural
that they redounded to the advantage
of the buyer and almost invariably
worked to the financial handicap of
the farmer and producer.
The departments reports are now
being made use Of by practically all
classes of peOple-faEmers commission
merchants, boards of trade brokers,
chambers Of commerce, retail dealers,
and consumers. Most persons who
have come in touch with the work Of

with the straightforwardness of his

Henry was unmOved. "Twenty

all right; it isn't much, but you can
have your poem in our newspaper for
twenty cents, Florence. If you don't
want to pay that much, why take your
ole twenty cents and go on away!"

cheap as We'll do it, Florence. Take

"Take it or leave it," Henry Rooter
agreed. "Thats the way to talk to

you don't take it you got to leave It,"
Florence was indignant, but she de-
cided to take it. "All right" she said

KEEP HORSES IN CONDITION
Farmer Makes a Mistake in Not Using
Animals of and On During
the Winter.

1t Is a shame to take a good horse
from pasture and put him into the
collar before a pillow, mower, reaper,
or other heavy draft implements with
out his having been hardened to 1t
first. In the main this Is the reason
for so many sore necks, added Of
course to the poor-fittlng collars.
Horses that are to do the heavy work
should be used off and on all winter
so as to keep their shoulders in shape
and the skin toughened. At any rate
they should be used before a wagon,
manure spreader, or ut some light work
for some time before hard work starts.
Be sure the collar fits. No collar pad
is needed If the collar fits. Especially
is this true with colts.

Ray Clarke paced up and down the
floor and wondered how he could have
been so happy-sO free from nervous
ness fore so long a time.
He hated the great beauty of the
outside world. When he heard people
wishing each other Merry Christmas"
he almost hated their smiles and their
cheerful voices.
How deeply he loved Lillian. She
was worth all the Christmas presents
in the world OF course. There were
no two ways about that.
And the doctor had said with such
a genial, merry twinkle in his eyes I:
"Well, fancy the young son and
heir will be a Christmas present from
the missus to you'll"
He had laughed at the time, and
Lillian had blushed and smiled and
laughed too. The doctor was such
friendly old soul-he had been the
doctor when Lillian had been born.
And he was fine, too.
But perhaps he counted too much on
Lillian's strength. Ray had been sent
out Of the room and he had been alone
here now for so long.
AT first he had been so full of high
spirits. But the delay had been so
strange. They hadn't told him there
would be any such delay. They had
simply sent him out of the room and
mad said that everything was all right,
and that they'd come and tell him
soon to be back to see his child.
He would go upstairs. He couldn't
stand this another moment. And it
was so quiet. He had fancied it
would not be quiet Then he heard a
strange shrill voice.
How curiously it sounded. Was
that Lillian. She must be very ill to
have a voice sound so curiOusly. He
never heard it like that.
They couldn't keep him from her.
She would want him, too. OF course
she would!
He hurriedly ran up the stairs. The
doctor was at the top of the stairs.
"Wait moment; not so fast; not so
fast" the doctor smiled. II was COM
ing to tell you"

"Well, you haven't got another cent,
so that's all right" Mr.. ROoter re-
marked; and he hOnorabIy extended
an open palm, supporting the coins,
toward his partner. "Here, Herbert ;
you can have the dime, or the two
nickels, whichever you rather have.

The entire session OF the committee
was taken up with the presentation
of arguments by Senator Walsh (Dem.)

accomplished together.
He argued that II was not feasible

solely with naval disarmament.
Senator Walsh also was said to have
argued that the contention that par

America in the leagues affairs was
not sound.
On this one point Senator Borah said
