"The basis for such plans are greater
efficiency and great saving in expenses.
1t means one large heating and water
plant, one big dairy, one large poultry
yard and the raising of garden truck
and the like by the idle man power of
these institutions. The children will be
given a training in the delinquent child
ren's home which will equip them for
future usefulness when they leave the
institution.
From 500 to 1000 acres will be neces-
sary and it is probable that Julietta
will be the central institution. Some
time it is hoped that the State will re-
lieye the county of caring for the insane
at Julietta and when this is done, the
main building at Julietta, which is in
excellent condition, can be used as the
main building of the poor farm" accord

BRITAIN AND FRANCE
DEVELOP DISCORD.
Several times during the course OF the
year discord developed between Great
Britain and France, and 1t looked for a
time as though the entent between the
two countries would break down entirely.
Some Of the causes Of the discussions
were German indemnity, the Upper Sill
esian settlement, Frances desire TO in
wade the Ruhr district Of Germany, the
Graeco Turkish war in the Near East
and Frances treaty with the Turkish
Nationalist.
On the eve OF the Washin gton confer
ence Premier Hara OF Japan was assas-
sinated at Toxic. 1t was feared that the
murder might affect Japans policy at
washington, but apparently It did not.
Shortly afterward Crown Prince Hlro-
hito was made Regent OF Japan, because
of the continued Illness Of the Emperor.
One OF the biggest calamities OF the
year was the Russian famine America
took the leadership in giving relief but
despite this assistance vast numbers of
victims have succumbed, chiefly children.

cal principles of the Soviet Government

with A16O00,000 in the same period Of
1920, and with 531 100000 tons in the
same number of working days in 1918.
In fact, the production for the first $50
working days this year was 100000
tons short of the average for the same
period in the past eight years. The total
for the year 1921 will be around AGO.
coo, 900 net tons, n figure lower than in
any year since 1900 or in twelve years.
Lack of demand for coal is, of course,
the cause of the failure to produce this
year The railroads, using 81 per cent
of the total bituminous coal output
have used less coal the iron and steel
industry, consuming annually 1O0,000000
tons of coal has taken but half that
amount this year; general industry has
been curtaiIe1 and has purchased spar
ingly of fuel, and ocean steamships have
called Tor but n portion of the coal they
have required in other years. Save the
central power stations, the public utili-
ties, no one large class of consumers
has required the same amount of coal in
1921 that has been used in any year
since 1915.
Notwithstanding this, the bltuminous
coal industry has on the average, OPP
Grated around 90 per cent normal. The
non union fields representing some 20 to
80 per cent of the total, have readjusted
wages downward and have passed the
reductions on in lower prices. The Op-
orators OF union mines have not been able
TO reduce wages, and have lost the bust
ness to the non union fields So COM
petitive is the bituminous coal trade that
these non-union fields, unhampered by
car and labor shortages, have, because
OF their lower prices, operated more reg
ularly and produced moe coal than in any
previous year.
STOCKS AMPLE FOR
IMMEDIATE NEEDS.
Stocks OF COAL both hard and soft,
are ample for all immediate needs. The
slackness OF the anthracite industry this
month testifies to this, as does the re-

business is soon reflected IN coal de-

tion and industrial activity Is roughly

be, as IS now anticipated, a strike In
the spring before wages can be reduced,
Is bound up with that Of all other bust

FOREIGN TRADE
is CONSIDERED
PRINCIPAL HOPE
United States Markets Held
insufficient to Solve
Problem.
BY GEORGE w. NORRIS

On UEOhUG W. NO0RAO
Gcyernor OF Federal Reserve Bank or
Philadelphia.
A reduction of nearly 5000 millions
to about 1900 millions In the bill hold
i1gs Of the Federal Reserve Banks and a
reduction from nearly $500 millions to
little over $500 millions in the FEEDER,
al Reserve note circulation are perhaps
the best indications Of the extent to
which financial housekeeping has gone
on in the United States during the
year 1927 The money strain IS definitely
passed, interest rates have gone down
and there has been a proportionate adj
vance in the prices Of securities. The
average business man is now satisfied
that he can get all the credit to which
he is legitimately entitled at reasonable
rates, but he sees nothing in the situa-
ton to encourage him to speculate, and
there are few industries in which the
volume of orders is sufficient to Justify
capacity operation Of plants.
MARKETS HELD TO
BE PROBLEM.
The whole problem OF the future Is
markets. With the gradual recupera~
ton of the agricultural interests from
the tremendous losses to which they
increase in purchasing power and re1
covery Of the home market, but for
capacity production something more than
the home market is needed, and 1t Is
there that we find our inseparable in
terest In the concerns Of the rest Of the
world As the Federal Reserve Board
has very well said: Economic recovery
must await restoration of foreign trade ~
adding that IAN improvement in for
eign trade will involve a rectifcation Of
currency and exchange conditions and
decided improvement in budgetary coma
ditions abroad
TARIFF POLICY
IS IN MIDDLE.
Our tariff policy is inextricably tied
up with the rectifcation Of exchange
conditions, and our decision as to the
method OF treating the debts due to
the United States Government from the
allied governments is equally involved
In the improvement of budgetary condI~
lions abroad.
I am not an advocate OF either q re4
duction or the remission Of these debts
at the present time, but I am strongly
in favor Of an early decision as to tbs
policy we propose to pursue, and frank
statement Of that policy. I believe that
this policy should be a liberal one, and
that the advantages of such a liberal
policy to American business, and indi1
rectly to the revenues Of our own Cows
eminent, would far outweigh any adyan-
tage that we might secure by being
insistent in our demands.
The matter Of revising the German
reparation payments is Of particular im-
portauce to American business, because
the present policy is adding TO the diff
culties OF the exchange situation and
disturbing the whole balance Of trade.

eral business improves. Perhaps
reasonable guess is that the total out
put will be about 100000, Of which
/, 100 600 will be Fords and the remain
ing ZOO 900 of other makes.
To many people this estimate may
seem high, for It is improbable that
1922 will be year OF easy times. The
reason for placing 1t at about these
figures is that unless there is some
such production the number Of motors
in use would be reduced. Any con-
siderable reduction seems most I'M
likely. The automobile has become an
integral factor in the American stand
ard Of living and 1t seems sure that
nothing short Of prolonged adversely will

systems. and the bathtubs in our houses.
it contributes SO much to the conveniences
and amenities OF life that, having become
accustomed to 1t. we will not easily re-
linqulsh It.
PRICES WILL
BECOME STABILIZED.
The year 1921 was a year Of price
cutting IN the automobile industry. This
had happened once before, in the depres-
sion Of 1914 and early 1915. and by the
end OF the latter year automobile prices
we're lower than they have ever been be-
fore or since. From that point automo-
biles increased steadily in cost until, at
the beginning Of 1921. their prices were
on the average GO per cent above the level
at whoch they stood five years earlier.
This statement IS based on the prices OF
tho same models of twenty five different
standard makes OF cars over this period.
few makes made price reductions
in the fall OF 1920, but III general prices
were advanced, although the costs OF most
other articles were falling. Then in the
spring OF 1921 II became apparent that
sales were going 10 be limited and in he
endeavor TO stimulate them the different
companies began 10 cut their prices. This
has kept on during the entire year with
an average reduction for the twenty hve
standard makes Of 20 per cent.
1t seems improbable that the end OF
the price reduction has been reached.
The total productive capacity Of the auto
mobile industry is about 10000 cars
a year. The production this year will al
most surely fall about 1000, 600 cars be
low the fun capacity output. As "A result
OF this situation prices will probably
fall stiil more during the coming two
years as The industry, with its great pro
ructlye capacity, completes for the sale

lies purchasing ability has been sharply

Miss Mary T.. Hanson of st. Adams
Has Unpleasant Experience on Trip
To Dover

Miss Mary E. Hanson of st Adams
and party had rather an exciting eX-
perience recently Willie on her way
from her home to Dover She was
chased for about mile by pair of
frightened horses and Il required all
her skill as driver To keep ahead of
the maddencd beasts. Miss Hanson
was driving a Hudson touring car and
in making a detour from Dexter to
North Dexter ha dto pass down IA long
crooked and steep hill. She drove
past a double team loaded with lumber
and after passing them looked around
to see the horses trOtting. Later il
was noticed they were beginning to
gallop and the race between Miss Han
son n her automobile and the horses
began She pushed ahead down the
treacherous highway with all possible
speed with the horses following. After
about "A mile however the animals
turned into a dooryard and the dan
ger was ended Miss Hanson then
turned about to investigate and found
that the driver of The load had been
thrown from his team and was prac-
tiCally unconscious. He was taken to

in her car. hay ng revived sufficiently
to give his name. Miss Hanson is the
