SQUEEZE" POPULAR IN CHINA
What the Western World Calls "Graft"
Is Practiced by All Glasses In
That Country.

One trait firmly imbedded In the
Chinese character which the foreign
business man and the housewife both
have TO contend with is the weakness
for squeeze" 1t is said by foreigners
that the Chinese merchant, coolie,
politician. fisherman. chauffeur and
beggar would rather make ST by
squeeze" than SO by the same
amount of brain work or manual la
Dor.
Squeeze is Chinese for graft. tt is
a word in that international Far East
ern tongue known as pidgin- English.
But squeeze Is something more than
graft. Its political phase might be
termed graft. and that form of squeeze
is what makes the military governors
Of the~provinces and the politicians Of
Peking and Canton so fat. Most Chi
nese politicians would have been ac-
ceptahle in the eyes Of Julius Caesar,
and squeeze Is the reason for some Of
the corpulence In China.
Squeeze is the Chinese translation
of 'as much as the traffic will bear"

much as supply and demand. or profit

PACKER HEAD is CHEERFUL

Whatever we may think of the
packing industry, it must not be
forgotten that the history of the
past fifteen months should lead us
to tempere at least in some res
poets much that we have said alb
out them. We shall never believe
that the packers have not in times
past exerted a large influence in
shaping the price of livestock, tho
we are not as certain as we once
were that this has been to the dis
advantage of the producer.
Another thing is certain the
packers could not control the sit
uation or maintain the prices of
their own products when prices
started to crash, and they have
lost heavily as has everyone else
during the past year. Yet they are

hopeful of the future,not only in
their own particular industry, but
in the business world generally
j. Ogden Armour puts this hope
fullness in the following cheerful
language in a recent annual report
of his company:
AT this turn in the road we
have reason to take heart. As a
nation, we have broken all prece-
dents-there has been no financial
panic, despite a rapid decline in
prices. This decline is putting us
on firmer footing. With courage
to take our losses, to open again
or channels of trade and restore
the true ratio of prices one to-
ward another, we shall step upon
the threshold of a new era-a fut-
ure of upbuilding and steady pro-
gress.
Nothing can cheat us out of
a quick return of prosperity but
our own lack of faith. And in the
final test, America never loses it's
faith.

a general manager and sales force
would also be provided. Local as
sociations would bind themselves
to ship al their products through
the central exchange. This associa-
tion would have complete charge
of the selling of the crop. AS soon
as the potatoes were loaded into
cars the local manager would no.
tify the central exchange of the
kind and amount in each car. The
central exchange would then is
sue shipping instructions and look
after the sales and collections.
The price would be based on the
average of the days pool, as all
potatoes shipped from the various
locals would be posted each day.
The central exchange would then
advance so per cent of the price
to the local manager for the pota-
toes shipped from his local and as
soon as the returns were in 10 per
cent more Wouldbe advanced and
the other 10 per cent retained as
selling charges. The total cost to
the grower should be about as fol-
lows: 10 cents per hundredweight
to the central selling agency, plus
the cost of laoding at the shipping
point, which at most rarely ex-
ceeds another 10 cents per hund-
redweight. This would make
total of 20 cents per hundred wei
ght or IL cents per bushel. From
data gathered the past A years
it is found that the growers of
South Dakota, under the present
system of marketing, are paying
much more than this figure.

STATE POTATO EXCHANGE
MAY BE ORGANIZED SOON

Brookings, S D.-A constant to-
tai of about 20 cents per hundred
weight, or II cents per bushel is
estimated as the probable cost of
selling South Dakota potatoes thru
a central potato exchange. These
figures have been arrived at by
the potato marketing committee
of the South Dakota Potato Grow
er's Association, of which H. B.
McKibbon, White, is chairman
Plans for the organization of a
state potato exchange will be pre-
sented by the committee at meet
ing of all who are interested at
Watertown, Friday, March 25th.
Under this plan local association
would be formed with local mana
gers to look after the grading, the
bagging and loading of the crop.
Growers uniting with the associa-
tion would agree to ship their
commercial crop thruogh the as
sociation and as a guarantee give
non-interest bearing promisory
note for 500, the guarantee being
given to assure enough business
to maintain the association. The
note would be cancelled after de-
livery of the crop, upon fulfllment
of the contract.
