BONUS PLAN
OF TRUST IS
SHELL GAME
In Which Employer Gets
All the Benefit and
Worker Nothing

Press dispatches from Sharon. Pa
state that the steel trust has extended
its bonus system wage earners.
On profis from t00.000,000 to $3.50,
100000 a bonus of per cent will be
given workers; to s20O.0OO,00O, ga
per cent. and in excess of this amount
21s per cent will be distributed
The scheme appears alluring, but
like other gold bricks, 1t should be in
vestigated.
Dividing profits" has brotherly
sound. but il means nothing to those
who know that the trust retains the
power to decide what constitutes prof
its, and that skilled accountants can
pile up the debit side of the lodged to
any height desired.
AS a rule, wage earners are unae.
quainted with finance. They know
nothing of the intricacies of corpora.
ton bookkeeping and the methods
employed to conceal extortionate
profits.
The steel trust maintains various
funds which are charged as costs to
the industry. These charges include
labor, salaries and lawyers fees with
ou' iihiit' law ihattiidi, iuttfcSt ol
bonds, federal and state taxes, depre-
citation. replacement, etc.
What is left is called profits.
In the trusts depreciation fund vast
sums are assigned to replace machin.
cry. Replacement funds are used for
the-same purpose. The law regulates
the amount that can be placed in the
depreciation fund. but no limit is
placed on net earnings that are show
eled into the replacement fund hole.
Millions of dollars of profits are
thus concealed. and the amount may

Have their efforts been justified? The
printers are asking for the 44-hour
week that they may add few more
years to their lives. The open
shop bosses are advocating the 54

shorter week and longer lives, rwhile

COMPOSITE FARM IN
COUNTY WOULD HAVE
S13,937 VALUATION
County Agent Degen Outlines
Typical Farm On Reports

Some interesting information re-
garding the agriculture OF Berkeley
county is to be found in the recent
ly published reports of las, years
census, from which the details of
what might be termed a "Compos.
tie Berkeley County Farm have
been com led by County Agent C.
G. DegeH, that is, a farm that
represents in its proper proportion
each of the various agricultural ac-
tivities of the county.
In conside..9g any figures from
the census reports County Agent
Degen says it must be remembered
that for census purposes, a farm"
consists OF any tract of land of
three acres or more, or any tract
under three acres that produced
$3.50 worth of agricultural products.
1896 Acres In Farm.
The first item of interest is nat
urally land and land values. On
January l., 1920, Berkeley county
reported 1895 of the 20S 900
acres to be in 1920 farms, with
136,419 acres improved. This gives
S56 per cent OF the land area in
farms, and 76.7 per cent of farm
land improved. From this it may
be seen that our composite farm
would contain a total acreage of
1873 acres, of which 1858 would be
improved land under cultivation
The average value OF this land per
acre was $69 25, making the value
of land and buildings S12,275 for
our composite farm, with a value
Of all farm property of s13,937.
The acreage Of the various farm
crops given below may seem very
small, but this is accounted for by
the fact that not only the small
places CT three acres or more are
con:idered, but also all orchards
are being averaged as farms. The
acreage of each of the important
farm crops is as follows.

MILLION DOLLAR RAIN
Splendid Rain Fell Through.
 out County Tuesday

A real million dollar rain fell throughout Independence and adjoining counties Tues. day night and Wednesday morning.
 While crops had not suffer ed to any great extent, they were beginning to need rain and would have suffered ma- terially in a very short time, had the rain not come when it did.
 Crops of all kinds were greatly benefited, and unless some unforeseen calamity be- falls them, crops of all kinds are now practically assured of making an abundant yield.

RESIDENCE BURNS
Handsome Home of Dr. Pas
 COG Destroyed by Fire

The residence of Dr. and Mrs. V. L. Pascoe was totally destroyed by fire last Satur- day afternoon.
 The fire is supposed to have started from a defective kitchen ffue and had gained such headway before discover ed that it was impossible to check the flames.
 The flames were bursting through the roof when dis covered and the fire was en- tirely beyond control before assistance arrived.
 The residence of J. w. Sisk just across the street had a very. narrow escape and it was feared for a time that it would burn in spite of all that could be done.
 The residence of J. M. Mar tin had a very close call also.
 Flying embers set fire to the roof of the Methodist church, about two blocks away, and it was only by heroic work that this building was saved from the flames.
 Dr. Pascoe's loss on his house and contents is about $5,OOO, partially covered by insurance.
