x T E Chicago Has Developed an Iron Trade Ananias

6RON trading circles in Chicago U seen to have developed full sized Ananias, whose obsession is to run down the price of Birming- ham iron by starting reports to the effect that large quantities have been sold considerably under the market price.
 Two weeks ago this unknown batter of the Birmingham iron market circulated the report that the leading pipe maker had bought 25,000 tons here. That provoked denial from both sides and proved a veritable myth.
 Toward the end of last week the same source issued the statement that another pipe interest had pur- chased 25,000 tons of Birmingham iron at $4 to $4.50 under the mar ket price. This statement met with prompt denial on the part of the pipe maker and of every iron maker in the Birmingham district.
 The Birmingham iron market is not going to be beaten down by these unfounded reports. It is all ready 50 per cent under the peak price and the present base allows no profit.

Captain of Finance
 Adviser to Farmers

N0THEN twenty-one national wv farmers organizations with hundreds of thousands of members requested Bernard M. Baruch to become adviser of the $10O,00o,00O Farmers Finance cor poration, what ought to have taken place many years before was done.
 There is no contradiction of in- terest or attitude in the association. The farmer needs business brains in the conduct of his affairs quite as much as railroads or steel indus tries. It is this realization that has caused farmers to eschew politics and use business methods.
 MT. Baruch's general plan of fi- nancing, farm products is based on grain in the elevator and cotton in the warehouse. Against these products he would issue certificates in amounts of $1O0 to $1,000 in ne- gotiable form, based on the notes of the farmers given the finance corporation for money borrowed on 
 their holdings, this money to be de- posted in the treasury of the corpo- ration.
 This plan will obviate rushing a product to market when everything else is trying to move and will es- tablish a new form of short period investment especially attractive to local capital.
 MT. Baruch expressed not only the philosophy of the farmers new conception of his business, but also the reason for choosing a financial expert and capitalist as adviser to the farmers corporation when he said:
 The farmers have been get
 ting together in the greatest co-
 operative movements in Amer
 ican history, and they have
 learned that the business of
 farming-a bigger business than
 making steel or running rail
 road or mining copper or than
 all three put together--mus.
 work with capital. use capital
 and be on friendly terms with
 the sources of capital, if farm
 ing is to have the same chance
 for financial success and profit
 than other businesses have.
 It is long way from "Sockless" Jerry Simpson and "Whiskers" Pfeffer to Bernard M. Baruch, but the American farmer has been using seven-leagued boots.

 Birmingham is little known by its people. Its distances are great and its industries are far apart. Unfortunately many of it's beauty spots have been difficult to reach, among them the Warrior, with it's matchless scenery.

 MT. Farquhar reminds the modern business man that he ought to be able to do in two or three hours what it took the old-time business man day to do. He said T am not going to tell you how much better we used to arrange things in the old days. We did not arrange them fraction a 5 well as we do today. We had not the things to do with. If you can imagine yourself in a very undevel- oped country. with only few rail ways and those slow. dirty. and most uncomfortable. without good roads, automobiles, telephones, typewriters or electric lights, you can easily real ize that two or three hours of effort are now as productive as d day was then"

As Vcnfzelos Did

Greece is being forced to do under the king just what was done under Venizelos,' said Arthur Greenwood. In a letter from my brother, who is in Greece, l am informed that only 40 per cent of the reserves responded to the governments recent call for troops to take the field against the Turks. Venizeios lost out because he enforced military service. The peo- pie were tired of war and parents wanted their sons back home.
 Now, my brother writes. Greece is being compelled tor do just wha t Venizelos did, foice the parents to send their sons to the front. In oth CT words, Greece will do just the same under the king as under yeni- zelos, only a lot of time has been lost by trying to change the yenizelos policy
 The anti-Venizelists are realizing their mistake more and more every day and are ticlSled to death that Great Britain is friendly to Greece now"
