Dupont Employs German Dye Chemists
CMining and scientific Press

contemporary, the Journal Of Indus
trial and Engineering Chemistry
takes exception to the action of the
Dupont company and considers it IN
fortunate, viewed from any angle. 1t
POINTS out that an economic battle for
the possession of the American mar
ket is in progress between the Amer
lean and German dye industry. Al
though in wartime, information is
obtained, we are reminded, as far as
possible from captured opponents, it
Is not usual TO place renegades in po-
sitions OF high command Our con-
temporary regrets the policy of the
Dupont organization, hitherto consid-
cred 100 per cent patriotic, and views
askance, as matter OF national con-
cein, the Generalization in the ranks
Of American technicians in conse-
quence OF the lowered morale Of the
Dupont research staff. Whatever the
ability of the two chemists, it con-
cludes. however intimate their knowl-
edge of special lines may be, it were
better to send them home and let the
American industry proceed to its full
development in an American way and
by the force OF American brains. We
ma ourselves in fun accord with the
vigor of the closing opinion, for we
would like to think that American eff
fort can reach the top of the tree
without help from German technolo-
gists; and we consider that if the Du-
pont company can not compete with
Germany with the aid of unlimited
capital and American resourcefulness,
there is something seriously wrong
with its organization. We read in
san Francisco paper which we are
quite unable to designate as an es-
termed contemporary, apropos of the
baseless charge against Mr.. Bernard
NJ Baruch: Personal honesty is
luxury and Mr. Baruch is rich
enough to afford it." This, it seems
to MS, is a crude expression of the
same sentiment as that prompting the
engagement of the German renegades
by the Dupont company.

WHY THE SOUTH is WILLING
FOR NORTH TO SECEDE.

The Idaho legislature seems to have
given the promoters of the new state
all the encouragement they could
hope for. The appointment of a
commission OF five was authorized to
cooperate with a like commission
from eastern Washington, if the leg
islature OF that state consents to it's
appointment these two commissions
being authorized to determine public
sentiment on the question of "a new
state composed of northern Idaho
and eastern Washington during the
coming two years and report its find
ings to the respective legislatures at
the end of that period. In case the
Washington legislature declines to
appoint a commission, then the Idaho
commissioners viii act independently.
How public sentiment is going to be
determined doth not yet appear as
the commission is not authorized to
incur any expense. Why there was
practically no opposition in the leg
islature to Remembering the state
has attracted much comment. Peo-
pie are not generally disposed to be
relieved Of a large part of their patri-
mony unless it is very clear that they
are to receive compensating advan-

THE SHIP OF STATE WITH HAIR
DING AT THE HELM.

The price of lead and zinc did not
leap to 6 or cents the day that War
rem G. Harding was inaugurated as
president nor was there an immedi-
ate revival OF business activity
throughout the country but there was
a feryent Thank God" uttered or in
the minds OF millions of people as the
news was flashed that Harding was
at the helm President Hardmg's in
augural address was admirably
adapted to the public mind. Pur-
posely avoiding details regarding pol
icies with respect to specific cases,
leaving these to be outlined in his
messages to congress, the presidents
speech from beginning to end was a
brief but forcefu exposition of ma
ticnalism as opposed to information
alism; OF America free from cntang-
ling alliances with foreign nations
YET fair, friendly and helpful when
ueed be in her relations with them;
OF America sovereign in the fun en-
joyment Of her national rights and
ever ready to defend them. While he
grew eloquent in defining the Amer-
canism of the fathers OF the republic
and his determination to restore it,
there was not the slightest evidence
OF grandiloquence in his language or
style OF speech. Rather his speech
and attitude carried the impression
tina; he felt the weight of the solemn
obligation he had just taken, and that
in the great task before him he would
be guided by his favorits passages
from the Scriptures. ito do justly, to
love mercy, and to walk humbly with
uLy God"
Alter eight years OF vacillatng pol
icy and visionary schemes OF interna-
tionansm, the people are refreshed by
the vigorous enunciation of a real
American policy, one that stands for
the protection OF every citizen at
home and abroad. President Har-
dngs speech pointed the way to bet
ter days Ter the American people. 1t
restored confidence in the national
administration confidence that the
problems which have so long beset
the business OF the country will be
solved as speedily as honest, intelli-
gent and diigent effort can accom-
plish it.

TOO MANY CONVENTIONS. NOT
ENOUGH MINING.

Tt will of course not be denied that
an annual convention made up of
representatives Of the various
branches of the mining industry is
productive of beneficial results; but
we submit that when no less than five
conventions are announced to be held
i'm an equal number of cities of the
northwest and British Columbia, the
So called conventions become nothing
more than a local scheme to draw
visitors to the pretentious mining
centers. Last week a mining conven-
ton was held in Spokane Next
month another mining convention is
scheduled for week in Portland. Sc
attic. another mining convention city
is expected to follow with a meeting
during the summer. Then will come
the convention at Vancouver, in Brit
ish Columbia, and from there the cir
cult swings east again ana Nelson,
British Columbia, will have it's usual
convention, after which the circle will
be completed by another convention in
Spokane about one year from this
date. As a local business proposition
in the several convention towns,
those conventions are possibly a sue
cess for they bring quite a number
of visitors who in the aggregate leave
considerable money; but from the
standpoint of the real mining inter
ests of the northwest, they are Of lit
tie more value than a convention Of
Gumers. stockmen or apple growers.
The men who are actually mining
the ore and developing new mines in
the northwest have not the time to
be attending sO-called conventions of
mining men every few months. Such
a convention could be profitably held
once a year and there is no doubt
that many men engaged in the var
tous branches of mining, from the
prospector to the operator, would be
slad to attend, both for the advan-
tage it would be to them In a business
way and for the pleasure and benefit
they would derive through the change
ard week given over to relaxation
and social intercourse. But with five
ann ual mining conventions going in
the northwest. the people in the min
inr sections naturally do not take
them very seriously one good rep
resentauve, permanent convention

say next year in Butte. then following

The northwest would prove of real
value to the mining industry, a source
of pleasure and profit to those attend
ing it, and which would soon prove to
be an influential factor in shaping
legislation relating to the mining in
dustry

CHAMP CLARK HAD LONG AND
HONORABLE CAREER.

IN the death of Champ Clark, who
for twenty-six years represented the
ninth congressional district of Mis-
souri,. the nation loses a man who,
while he may not rank among the ma
TONS greatest statesmen was never
theless a great American who was
universally esteemed and loved by
those who were privileged to know
him. He served eight years as speak
er of the house of representatives, and
his record in that position was the
subject of highest praise from repHb-
leans as well as democrats. He was
absolutely fair in his rulings, and
fairness honesty and candor were the
outstanding characteristics of his
long public career At the democratic
convention at Baltimore in 1912
Champ Clark fairly won the demo-
cratic nomination for president and
was robbed of the honor in the Ian
guage of the street by being double
crossed" by William Jennings Bryan.
Champ Clark had been the high man
for twenty seven ballots and in nine
ballots had a clear majority Ac-
cording to precedent in all former
conventions. the candidate receiving
majority had always been regarded
the winner and sufficient votes imme-
diately came to him to make the two
thirds which is technically required to
secure the nomination in a democrat
lie national convention. At this juno
ture Bryan who had been elected
delegate from Nebraska under in
structions for Clark, took the floor
and charged that Clark had made
combination with Tammany and ap-
pealed to the convention to nominate
Woodrow Wilson. which it did.
Clark's heart was broken. but his 10y
atty to the democratic party in time
overcame the bitterness Of his disap-
nointment He gave loyal support to
the Wilson administrations, but he
never forgave Bryan for his treachery
Champ Clark was born in Kentucky
in 1850 and on his seventy birth
day he was consigned to the grave in
the little town of Bowling Green. in
Pike county Mo. which had been his
home since 1880. when he began the
practice of law He served several
years as prosecuting attorney of Pike
county. went to the legislature for
several terms and from that was
elected to congress. beginning a ca
reer that proved to be one of the most
remarkable in the history Of our
country
Champ Clark was an orator Of great
ability strong leader on the floor
and a fair and efficient speaker of the
house. He was man of kindly and
sympathetic disposition, and next to
his country loved his state and the I
people who delighted to honor him It /
Is fitting that the final resting place .
Of Champ Clark should be in the lit
he Pike county town where he began
bis eventful career.

Re-EstabLishn1ent OF
Cream Station Tends
To Better Receipts

The newly established cream buy
ing station, located in the building
with the Paris Produce Company,
and in charge of II. w. Redmond,
which has been in operation four
weeks. is showing a healthy increase
in business from week to week. This
establishment. which was effected
under the supervision of County
Agent Patrick, has in the past three
weeks increased the shipments of
cream from here to twenty cans per
week, and the average receipts are
now CSC per pound as against the
old price of SOC.
Mr. Patrick states that he is in
touch with five or six creameries
from whom he receives bids each
week and the shipment is made to
the one offering the best price The
farmers who are patronizing the
new station are now receiving an
average of $3.50 per week for the
cream and are enthusiastic over the
prospect.
A station has also been establish
ed at Puryear, in charge of Earl
I4ittleton, the first shipment to be
made from there next Saturday Mr..
! Patrick is planning the establish
ment of one more station in the
county, and expects the receipts of
the three to amount to $1,000 per
month within a short while

How's BUSINESS?


Casual inquiries among local stores,
"How's Business" is meeting with
varied response. Some are joyous
over steady increase this summer
month after month, over the same
period last year. Others claim busl-
ness is quiet; others say there is
nothing doing"
Falling prices is the natural cause
of gross sales showing a decrease in
practically every business, even
though the volume of business has
increased. Skepticism has prevailed,
and retail buyers have gone into
the markets carefully, awaiting price
results. And, it is fact prices are
still falling and according to leading
economists this period of slowly de-
Ginning prices may last for a number
of years.
The merchant who has been ag-
gressive, who has been able to trans
form his ideas of potential attain
ment in volume of money from safes,
the merchant who has realized that
1921 win only reward fighters" as
rule has no complaint to make =
he has done reasonable well, and
many have conducted an increased
volume of business right here in
Paris.
Many merchants have wisely con-
fined their replenishing of stock from
time to time to merchandise which
has a quick turnover. Fewer dupli-
eating items of lines have been
handled and stock have been kept
comparatively small. Thus, the re-
tail buyer has been protected as well
as the merchant,
Merchants going to, and many
who have just returned from market.
have bought carefully, with the
above idea in mind, so Paris shop
pers this fall may be assured of the
very best values the market has to
offer; apparently there is very little,
if any at all, of old stocks on hand,
bought at former high prices. Most
of our home merchants have been
sufficiently wise to conduct their
business in this era of falling .prices
as radically different problem from
those which the whole country was
accustomed to during the war and
postwar period, when prices were
skyward and dollars were shrinking
in value. Although it is significant
that the majority of men actively
engaged in the management of bust
ness today obtained their training
and experience during a rising of
prices, yet they have been able to
i. aa just themselves to demands of
the present.
The quick turnover has been the
secret, and so Tar as Paris and
Henry County is concerned shoppers
this fall may be sure of obtaining
the benefit of some expert purchas-
ing and the best of prices that ii is
possible to offer-and, they will no
doubt find they are able to get much
more for their dollars than when
they bought in the spring.
Indications point to an excellent
fall and winter business in Paris
and Henry County. The crops have
turned out WELL and this surprise in
view OF adverse conditions thai were
showing couple of months back,
slould furnish a real kicking stilnu
hut.
