CO[0RADOGROWERS
FORM WHEAT POOL

STERLING, Col, March 14.-Colo-
RADIO has Joined in the movement be-
ing fostered In practically all OF the
wheat growing States of the West to
pool production. in order that farm
ers may control the distribution and
marketing Of wheat
A large percentage Of the Colorado
wheat crop now under cultivation
will go into the gigantic pool and be
marketed through q central agency,
according to plans announced at the
annual convention of the Colorado
Wheat Growers Association. held in
Denver
Sterling has been selected as head
quarters for the Colorado orEaniza-
tion because of its location in the CEN
ter of the Colorado wheat belt. and
as marketing director for the State.
The pool in Colorado will control
approximately 20.eO0.00O bushels of
wheat. II was said.
1t was estimated that already
owners of 80 per cent Of the 1921
wheat crop have agreed to place their
output in the pool, and force Of field
workers will begin Immediately q
campaign to secure the signing up of
the remaipder of the Group within
the next month. It was believed that
eventually the entire crop. except that
portion to be used for seed, would be
turned into the pool.
A. c. Bailey, OF Kingsley, Kan. who
acted as organizer for the Colorado
growers, explained that similar or
carnations are being formed In eleven
other wheat-growing States.
1t is expected, he said. to have be-
tween 200. .000. 900 and 250.000. 900
bushels of wheat In the combined
pool.
by having this wheat pool at
hand" Bailey said, 1--WE can feed It
out to the market or hold it back as
we deem best. 1t will have the effect
OF stabilixing the market, and be in
strumental in reducing the cost of
production.

new DEVICE
FOR WIRELESS PHONES
Californian Claims Wonders for
His Invention.

LOS ANGELES, March 14.-What
is claimed by it's designer TO mark a
revolutionary step in wireless COM
munication has been perfected hero
by George M. Knight. radio engtn-
eer, in a selective, apparatus which
he uses on a wireless telephone of his
own invention.
knight declares he can send or re-
ceive messages positively without in
reference. no matter IL the instru-
ment used be a device employing
spark, arc, or voice."
The success of my device Is all
due to what Is known as toning. My
device calls for all magnetic circuits,
there being no capacity coupling or
in ductive coupling. 1t is foreign to
all other circuit using devices in that
no condensers are used"
knight says he has made some re-
markable demonstrations with his
wireless telephone in working with
stations in Southern California and
out to ships on the Pacific.
He served with the One Hundred
and Eighth Engineers in the Ameri-
can forces in France He was badly in
jured in an airplane accident and for
fourteen months was confined in
various hospitals in the United States
after being brought back from
France.

SECURED BY LIBERTY BONDS

'Two-thirds of the r0ens made are
secured by Liberty bonds or by the
savings accounts of the borrowers.
The other third Is made on the char
acter Of the individual secured by the
Endorsements of two or more persons
known to the bank to he reliable.
This insures absolute safety.
Credit is the basis of all business
activities. but credit plus character is
the basis of sound banking. The
Departmental Bank will finance the
character of the salaried employe
whose security is often only charac-
ter. In twenty-five years Of actual
business, the Society for Savings
and Loans made over $4,000 loans.
aggregating over $3.250.000. yet it's
losses were less than one-fourth of
one per cent in all that time. Thus II
will be seen that the business of the
bank will be secure and conservative.
"The Departmental Bank will. OF
course, be under the supervision of
the United States Treasury Depart
ment. All deposits and savings are
thus assured of all the protection
that Governmental supervision can
give"

BILLION EXPECTED
AT THE TREASURY
Income and Profits Tax Receipts
100000, and Certifi-
Gates S40O,000,OO0.

Tomorrow the FIRST installment Of
income and profits taxes will be due,
and official estimates indicate that
$500. o0o, 600 will be paid. II this figure
is not exceeded. the March payments
will be the smallest since March, 1918.
for last year the month saw $s18,87s,-
463 paid into the Federal Treasury on
these accounts. while in 1919 the total
OF income and profits tax receipts dur
ing March was 's1.12s,s21,2ss. The
March. 1918, total was only $31,424,027.
The Federal Treasury will also re-
ceive something like $500, 5000 as
the proceeds of the new offering Of
Treasury certificates of Indebtedness,
so that total receipts should be well
above $1,000. 900. 900. including those
from incomes and profits taxes. miscel-
laneous taxes and certificates.
In March, 1920, total tax payments
to the Treasury amounted to $1,098,-
369, ,8ss. and the Treasury at that time
marketed certificates of inde ebtedness
a total income on these two accounts
of $1,299.730.388.
On the other side of the ledger, tho
Treasury will have certificates Of In
debtednsss maturing which will call
for payment of $5O6.527 500, these
certificates having been put out in
four issues on March Is, July Is, Sep
tember 15. and October Is, respective
ly. 1t will also have to provide ap-
proximately $76,OOO,OOO In interes.
payments for the Third Liberty Loan.
and payments to the railroads of the
country, under the recently passed
Winslow bill, will call for upward o:
$500. .000. 900 more, according tc esti-
mates made by Secretary of tine Treas-
ury Mellon.
Thus, there will be receipts Of about
81 ,OO0, ,0OO, 900, against which payments
aggregatfng close to $500. .00O.CO0 will
have to be made. Mr.. Me;lcn has
stated that early receipts of tax pay
ments have been entirely satisfactory
and that "the Treasury has good rea-
son to hope that income and profits
tax payments during March will about
balance the March Is maturites of
principal and interest,"" IN other
words, the $500. .0OO, 900 for certificates
and the $76,O0O.OOO for Liberty bond
interest.

PLAN TO BREAK STRIKE

New York, Oct 19.-Railway execu- tives today took active steps to keep their lines running if the threatened rail strike naterialized October 3O
 A member of the General Mana gers Association said tonight that to- morrow all roads entering New York will start an advertising campaign for workers to i'll such vacancies as might ocur. The Erie has issued an appeal to the public for volunteers to man cabs and platforms. Other lines also are keeping their eyes on com muters as possible source of labor.
 Railroad officials professed to be little concerned about their yard forces upon announcement that 30 io- calls of the Railroad Yardmasters' As sOciation claiming to have $500 mem bers in the vicinity Of New York, had voted to strike. At the same time John F, Welsh, an organizer for the Seamen's Union, hinted that the rail-
 
 ping lines to move any passengers stranded by the strike as, he said, Isieznbers of the union would refuse 70 man coastwise vessels in the event of railroad strike.
 The Association Of Railway Execu- tives issued statement saying that the public, 'the real paymaster." could not afford rates necessitated by present labor costs. and calling upon. all roads to publisb statements of rate reductions since the 12 per cent wage cut was ordered, to show that the roads were making sacrifices them selves and not patting the whole bur- den on labor.

 The alarm was turned in at about 3 o'clock and at o'clock the fire was under control. Officials of the com- pany expect to resume operation by Monday. The main mill and feed storage houses were not much dam- aged

Strike is Considered
 a Failure Already

New York, Oct. 19.--Further recov- cry in the railway shares reflected today's general belief that the strike movement has already failed. Little attention was paid to the announce mcut that other railway labor organ i2atious will meet at Chicago and dis CuSs the strike, or to the flood of explanatory statements poured forth by the chief of the locomotive broth eIlood. Both incidents were to be expected in preparing the way for withdrawal of the order for the strike
 Wall street gave less attention than hes etoPore to the discussion of lower freight rates; yet that was on the whole the outstanding topic. That some such reduction is impending there seemed to be little doubt, The Afon Age, speaking of the steel indus try, refers today to the practical cer- tainty of freight rate reductions as "a greater influence than the strike tDJtdl IISSll. tue SISuSuC Ol uu- certainty is the effect which any general cut in railway rates would have If unaccompanied by further lowering of railway wages Some
 traffic has unquestiCnably been lost to the carriers by the present high rates; the voluntary reductions al, ready proposed by the companies shows that
 But reduction al along the line would be another matter. Railway business still is held down by the depression in trade. Against the to- tal decrease of only ? 3-S per cent from 1920 in gross earnings for the first half of the present year, the statement for August showed de- croases of per cent and the indi- VidUal reports for September do not make any comparison. Everyone knows that the considerable net earn ings, which in recent months have replaced the heavy deficits of a year ugo, are the result, first, of the wage reduction allowed by the Labor Board and second, of parsimony in mainte nance expenditure such as cannot con- tinue much longer. This being true, the vital question is likely to be how much of cut in rates on the basis of unchanged expenses could be made without injury to the railways.
