TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT
FOR p. I.

George H. Fairchild, publisher of
the Manila Times, is opposed to in
dependence for the Philippine Islands
and advocates the establishment of a
territorial form Of government in
stead. Mr.. Fairchild's suggestion is
worthy of careful consideration as it
comes from a man who is able to
speak authoritatively on the Philip
pine question. About all that would
be necessary to effect the territorial
form of government for the Philip
pine Islands would be to permit them
to elect their own governor and vice.
governor. Those are practically the
only two officials now. appointed by
the United States to takes part in the
government of the Philippines. A
provisional territorial government,
subject to American supervision and
under American protection, with due
regard for the projection Of vested
rights and individual liberties, would
give the Filipinos an opportunity to
put to the test the confidence which
they now have in themselves. The
government of Hawaii operates along
such lines.

c. L. BRODY, SECRETARY MICH.
GAN FARM BUREAU.

Clark L. Brody, county agricul-
tural agent in st. Clair county dur
ing the past six years, took up his
new duties as Secretary of the Mich
igan State Farm Bureau on March 1.
Mr.. Brody's qualifications and
training may be summed up as fol-
lows: Reared on a good farm in
Southern Michigan. Educated at the
Michigan Agricultural College. Sue
cessfully managed his fathers farm
for eleven years after graduation.
Served on the M. A. c. extension
staff for three winters while operat-
ing the farm and has been county
agricultural agent in St. Clair county
for six years.
Mr.. Brody is of a quiet, rather re-
served temperament, sound thinker
tireless worker and has been gener-
ally conceded to be the best county
agricultural agent in Michigan. :.
His appointment to this important
Office has done much to inspire con-
fidence throughout the state in the
continued success Of the Farm
Bureau movement.

ELEVATOR COMBINATION IS
WORTH MILLIONS.

Seventy elevators are now con-
nected with the Farm Bureau eleva-
tor exchange, which began business
last october with 90 cooperative or
CARNATIONS using it as their selling
agent for hay and beans. Several
other elevators are about to join and
the elevator exchange is moving
steadily towards goal of 100 asso-
Citations.
What the business of this gigantic
exchange will develop into this year
can only be surmised. The exchange
is constantly adding to its connee-
tons with buyers and that means al
increased number Of bids. At pres
ent steps are being taken to quote
more than $4,000 buyers of grain,
hay and beans.
An estimate, based on the actual
performance of 10 of the elevators in
1919, would show that the 70 eleva-
tors affiliated with the farm bureau
might figure up as follows for 1921
Eighteen elevators sold 456 car
loads of wheat, ITO of oats, 225 of
rye, 116 of beans, ITO of hay. Be-
lieving that 20 elevators would per-
form about the same under normal
conditions, the farm bureau believes
that in 1921 the seventy may sell
1,774 carloads of wheat, 661 of oats,
875 of rye, 451 of beans, Gel of hay.
The total valuation of the 10 ele-
vators was $484, 900 with an average
Of $26,666. If the average would
hold true, the seventy have value of
$1,882,222.
Twelve Of them did business of
5,367 900 in 1919, or an average Of
$447,250. On such an average bust
ness the seventy may do a business
of $31, 900 in 1921.
The total capacity of 10 Of them is
10000 bushels, averaging 19,473.
Taking into consideration that where
an elevator is small and another Is
large, the seventy, on the foregoing
average, have capacity of perhaps
1,363,158 bushels. Evidently, there
is cause all around for good feeling
in the farm bureau elevator ex-
change.

SAGE COUNSEL.

Warning the United States to con-
sent to no interference with the Mon
& roe Doctrine, DR.. Edwin M. Borchard,
Of Yale University, declared before
the foreign service school of George
town University recently that Gu
rope is like group of gamblers seat
ed around gaming table where each
in turn rakes in the bank. "Our duty"
said he, "is to keep as far remote as
possible from their intriguing enter
prises for the balance of power" and
''the second fundamental of the
United States foreign policy is that
we suffer no interference from Eu-
rope"
DR.. Borchard was formerly law IL
brarian of the Library of Congress,
and while serving in that capacity he
prepared very scholarly work,
Guide to the Law and Legal Litera-
ture of Argentina, Brazil and Chile"
He is an authority of high repute on
Latin American questions, and his
researches in that field have streng-
thened his faith in the efficacy of
the Monroe Doctrine to make for
peace in the Western Hemisphere and
to guard against the extension of
European intrigue into the New
World. In this connection it is in
teresting to recall that DR.. Hiram
Bingham, also of Yale, and the au-
thor of "The Monroe Doctrine an
Obsolete Shibboleth," after further
study of Latin American questions is
said to have recanted and now to be
an ardent supporter of the principles
recited in Monroe's immortal docu-
ment.

Shiawassee Farmers to Own Eleva-
tors.

Committees have been at work in the
vicinity of Owosso, Vernon and Durand,
securing finances and laying plans to
have a business home through which to
market their grains and products, and
secure supplies comparatively These
business enterprises will give Farm Blu
reau members access to the benefits of
the great State Farm Bureau, and all
OF its Exchanges. They will be organ
lied on a strictly cooperative basis,
and will be the buying and selling agen-
cies of the Farm Bureau in each COM
munity.
Meetings were held for completing
these organizations at Vernon, March
22nd, and at Owosso, March 23rd. Mr..
Cribhs, State Marketing Specialist, was
present. and assisted in the organiza-
ton of these enterprises. He gave
forceful talks on cooperative market
ing, and the workings of the crop con-
tract. Several thousands of dollars
were subscribed for these institutions,
and committees were appointed to finish
the work of securing necessary finances.

and other cooperative enterprises in

firms in Toledo, one in Buffalo and
from two of the largest export
buyers in the country. Aside from
these the elevator exchange has daily
telegraphic market quotations from:
Chicago, Detroit and Toledo.
Early results of this survey bring
out some interesting and gratifying
facts. The average daily bid on No
2 rye from big exporter was found
to be SLAB per bushel while the
average daily bulletin quotation or
this commodity sent out to its men,
bers by the elevator exchange wad
STAG.
On February 10th this export con-
Germ was bidding $1.45 on No. 2 rye.
The Elevator Exchange sold two cars
of this grain for one of its members,
one for SLAB and the other for
$3.50. Again on the 14th when this
exporter was bidding STAT the ex-
change sold car for $3.50.

NATIONAL GRAIN MARKETING
Explained by Representative from
Committee OF Seventeen.

Representatives of the State Farm
Bureau, managers of 1856 cooperative
grain elevators, in the State, County
Agricultural Agents, and others, met
at M. A. G. March 18th. and heard
members of the Committee of Seven
teen explain plans of the contemplated
national grain marketing association,
with subsidiary corporations for financ-
ing, warehousing and exporting all
grain crops The farmers themselves
will control this national cooperative
marketing agency and rs explained by
members of the Committee of Seven
teen, the sale of grains will be distrib-
uted over the year as needed, thus pre-
venting the Cutting of markets. At
the same time through the use of the
Finance Corporation cooperative ele-
vators will be able to pay cash for all
grains as received, or grains may be
pooled and shipped on consignment.
Three official delegates were elected
to a national ratification meeting to be
held at Chicago. April 9th, where final
and action on the plan
will be taken.

should get the No. 1. For the last two
years it has been obtained by r. Cliff
ford Durant, the California million
aire, who retired from racing at Ell.
gin last summer Durant was Hearne's
patron in 1919 and backed him in his
speed campaign.
Eddie is one Of the few remaining
aL-around drivers for he has received
the checkered flag in speedway and
road races, hill climbs and reliability
runs and countless dirt track events.
Thirteen years ago when he reached
the age of Fl, Hearne broke into the
game, which then boasted number
of millionaire and near-millionaire
pilots. The glamour of the speed
sport had attracted such men of
wealth as w. X. Vanderbilt, Harry
Hardness, Croker, who was killed on
the Florida sands, and many others.
However, he broke in before Caleb
Bragg, David Bruce-B-own, Spencer
Wishart, Joe Boyer and Cliff Durant
were names to conjure with in the
racing sport. All followed him, all
have lost their lives in competition or
voluntarily retired.
Being a man of means, Hearne
drove foreign cars in the majority of
his early races, although he first
gained fame when he finished fourth
in the first Grand Prize at Savannah,
in 1908, in the light-car class, plotting
Buick. Italian Flats and German
Benz cars were his favorites and it
was at their wheels that his star was
at its zenith.
When the indianapolis Speedway
opened with it's first race meet,
twelve years ago next August,
Hearne was still in the amateur
ranks. With a Fiat car, he beat the
pick Of the gentlemen racers" win
ming the national amateur champion
ship trophy with Fiat. In 1910 he
turned pro and his record of getting
money in seven starts that year on
the speedway was unusual. He used
a Benz car and registered five firsts
a second and third. Included in
this was two victories which gave
him the Indianapolis Speedway he'll
met trophy.
In 1911, the first of the 500s, he
drove a Fiat, and although he had
more than his share of mechanical

A great work has been done by the
Farm Bureau women of Shiawassee
County, and their influence in the Farm
Bureau movement has been decidedly
felt. 1t is essentiol that this work con-
tinue, and assistance will be secured
from the Home Economics Extension
Department by the women chairmen in
the various locals, as it becomes neces-
sary.
The women are headed by Mrs. Geo.
r. Fauth, County Chairman, and Mrs.
A. Calkins, Mrs. Geo. Getman, Mrs.
James Riley, and Mrs Chas. White on
the Advisory Committee. In addition
to these officers there is a Local Chair

One of the best bulletins we have
seen to date on Corn Growing is the
new bulletin, the title of which is,

by Professors Cox and duncan. The
varieties best adapted 10 Michigan re-
quirements are described. Approved
methods of growing are described, and
the best methods for testing seed corn
are given: Some space is given to the
improvement of corn through selection,
and the care of seed corn. This bulle-

the race was called. In 1912 he was
eliminated after fifty-four laps, pilot
ing a Case. Then for some years
Eddie dropped out Of the big-time
stun as financial troubles and other
worries beset him.
However, in 1917, he came back to
the big time," taking second in the
initial race Of the year at Uniontown.
In his later years he has learned Ito
use his head" While he has not al
ways had the fastest car the drivers
respect his ability. One of the best
illustrations was his taking of the
runner-up place in the 1919 Indianap-
oils 500, He drove Durant, rebuilt
Stutz, and early in the contest the
fans and dopesters did not figure on
his making any trouble for the win
the halfway mark his consistent driv-
ing began to tell and he practically
drove through the entire field, taking
second to Wilcox in the Peugeot. He
set an even, steady pace and had VIII
cox's slight trouble in the last 50
miles been serious. Eddie's con-
sistency would have brought first
place. While Wilcox was the win
ner, Hearne got more than his share
Of applause when he crossed the taped
less than four minutes behind.
Last year he drove a Deusenberg
and did not have time to property
tune his mount after it was com
pleted He drove consistently and
rolled into the money in the last 1O0I
miles, being ninth at 400 and sixth
at the finish.
After the last 500-mile Hearne OBJ
tanned a Revere racer, built in Lo-I
gansport, Ind. He has driven It with
success in 1920's events and is SAN
guine as to his chances. The RevereI
is powered with Deusenberg enginel
and this power plant has won the ma
jority of the races in this country for
three seasons. Also the only times
that a 500-mile has not been won
with foreign car it has been an In
diana product-Harroun's Marmon In
1911, Dawson's National in 1912 and
Chevrolet's Monroe in 1920. On
paper Hearne has an excellent
chance to make the American and
foreign count stand four to five on
May 80.
