WOMEN CIGARETTE SMOKERS

Dean Joseph French Johnson of New
York, has declared u~neQuivocably for
pipes for women He suggests that
they use nice clean clay pipes. CT
course, DR.. Johnson does not privately
believe in women smoking. We imag'
inc that his declaration was made for
the purpose of shaming the female
folks who have taken up the weed
habit In our cities.
1t is amazing how many women
smoke cigarettes these days. Ten
years argo the woman who was seen
with a coffin nail" between her lips
was regarded as a great curiosity
Today you can go into the dining
DON Of almost any of the swell ho-
tells in the large cities and find from
one to a half dozen smartly desrsed
fashionable ladies nonchalantly
putting away at their cigarettes. We
believe in women's rights and full
freedom for them in everything. But
somehow the smoking business goes
against our grain. Perhaps it was be-
cause our mother didn't smoke. And
we hope our wife will never take up
the habit.
One Of the great sculptors of the
olden days made a statue Of a woman
holding a baby to her bosom and
looking down at It's sleeping face,
r. was a wonderful picture of mother
love and the generations OF men tina
have gazed on that statue and paint
ings Of It have adored 1t and wep'
over it, because men are only the
of mothers. Not long ago., h
we began to hear about women smok
ers. a fippant artist took one OF the
pictures of that statue and simply
nenciIed q cigarette into the mothers
mouth. ,
what a transformation it was!

land and fence corners clean.
Try sprouting a few early potatoes

sprouted this way and carefully cut
and planted, new potatoes will often
be had several days in advance of the

IF YOU ARE PESSIMISTIC?

Roger Babson. the noted statisticlan,
II a recent issue OF Printers Ink
analyses the present business cOndi-
tons as shown below. 1t makes
mighty good reading for anyone suf-
fering from Business Glooms."
/. The great mass Of working peo-
pie In this country still have their
Liberty bonds. 1t is true that corpora
tons and many small holders have
sold theirs. The great bulk Of wage
workers, however, still retain theirs,
and they will o cease buying mer,
chandise SO long as they hold these
bonds.
2. Prohibition is a great factor fol
prosperity. the Importance of which is
not fully realized. Previous to July
1919, several billion dollars a year
were being spent by people Of this
country for drink. About 20% of this
money has gone into the savings
banks; but the balance has gone into
building homes, buying merchandise
raising the standard Of living.
8. The federal reserve system Is
working well. 1t is popular to criti
else the federal reserve board; but
such criticism is usually directed
against their good acts rather than
against their lax ones.
4. Advertising has become a great
economic factor for the producing and
steadying of business. The old form
of advertising, which was largely OF
the luxury type, has been replaced by
a new productive form. This new
form of advertising has come to stay
and should be a great factor in pre-.
venting business panics such as we
have had In the past.
5. Though our foreign trade has
greatly grown during the past five
years, it is no greater proportion OF
our total trade than it ever was. II
we lost all our export trade today, ii
would reduce our total business only
about five per cent.
6. Standardization in m"anufacturine
Is rapidly increasing. Great improve
ment can still be made along these
lines. Concerns that used to manu-
facture 10000 different articles are
now doubling their capacity, but halv
ing the number Of articles they pro
duce. All this is along the line OF
efficiency and tends to continue pros
perity.
Z. The seasonal fluctuations in in
dustry and commerce are being grad
ually ironed out. Part Of the loss is
being eliminated by taking
on different lines.
8. Taxation will surely be reduced
| Not only will the new administration
reduce expenditures. but u system o
taxation will be changed so as to en-
courage production rather than penal
lie it.
8. Modern education for executives
and employees is rapidly being intro
duced. Industrial education is con
stantly growing.
10. The United States has accumu
lated great wealth during the past Ave
years, and has paid almost all OF its
|! foreign indebtedness. We are now a
creditor nation instead of a debtor
nation. Our people are the richest
of any on the face of the earth.

RANDALL URGES SERVICE
CONTINUED from Page y

The City Beautiful Any interest OF
head, hand or heart is worthy the most
serious attention Of any commercial
club or group of men. We want in
dustry, trade and commerce, not pri-
marily for themselves, but for what
they will contribute in family and CON-
munity welfare. A better city in which
to live, attractive surroundings, educa-
ton, and a high standard Of social and
moral life. will attract as many people

to be an interesting exposition Of the
most exigent public problem we have
just now, one that concerns every
man and household intimately.
1t is agreed that the burden of tax
alton is too heavy, so extortionate in
deed as adversely to affect the gen
eral good. 1t is agreed that the ex-
penses of the federal government are
much too large. The ordinary mind
would suppose that, such being the
case, cutting off the unnecessary and
excessive Expenditures of government,
would remedy the toe heavy taxation
easy and simple as that the way
to reduce four to two is to substract
two from four.
And in reality something like thai
is the case. Yet practically to do so,
turns out to a difficult or we'll nigh
impossible performance. The remedy
looks simple, but is complex. Com
mon sense ought to be sufficient TO
work the cure, but when it comes to
doing anything, all Washington stands
bafned, stopped by its own conscious-
ness of Illustration as it were.
Is there any simple way? The late
Senator Aldrich said a decade ago that
application Of ordinary business meth
DDS would save the government three
hundred million dollars a year, about
a third of the then annual expendi-
ture. A senator today says that five
hundred millions a year could be saved
by similar means
Here is what "the most acute gov
eminent financier in the house of rep
resentatives," according to George
Wheeler Human, says:
"If congress would go to work,
frankly and resolutely, without any
| reservations, and cut off all govern
ment expenditures that do not bring
results, there would be nothing TO
discuss with the efficiency experts.
Enough is known now about waste
and duplication in the departments to
keep the house busy for a whole SEES
sion, merely wiping out needless ap-
preparations and reducing e~xtravagant
estimates. 1t is not information or
ingenuity or business ability that we
lack. There is plenty of all three in
congress. What is lacking is moral
| courage to tackle the job, regardless
of constituents and elections.
Mr.. Human estimates that the fed
eral government costs the average
American family nearly two hundred
and nifty dollars a year. An item of
that cost is illustrated by this fact,
that in one government bureau young
women have occupied their working
time. for which the government pays
them, by making their wedding out
fits.
It is not more light upon the sub
ject. more profound cogitation, more
exhaustive investigation. more COM
missions and reports. that are re-
quired, mol more information, ingenu-
ity, business ability. More moral cour-
age. common sense decision, up-and-
doing, such is all that congress needs
to save hundreds Of millions, not next
year or God knows when, but now,
Immediately, this year.
There Is no mysterious hokum about
the business and no financial marvel
GUS working of miracles required.
Stop It, that is all! Stop 1t now, at
once! And. having stopped 1t, keep
1t stopped!

FARMERS CANNOT AFFORD
NOT TO FIGHT CROP PESTS

Brookings, S. D., June 21.-With the
present low cost of materials used IN
poisoned bran mash, for grasshopper,
cutworm and army worm control,
farmers cannot afford to pass up the
opportunity of controlling these pests
and reducing the crop loss from this
source to the minimum, says A. L..
Ford. extension entomologist at State
college.
Materials used in making the pois-
oned bran mash are much cheaper
this year than they have been for
several seasons past, according to Mr..
Ford.
The poisoned bait, when used in
large amounts as in community or
county poisoning, a now be prepar-
ed for slightly less than one and one-
quarter Az cents per pound, mixed,
exclusive of labor cost.
This material should be used at the
rate of from IL to Is pounds per acre
for grasshoppers and from 20 to 25
pounds per acre for cutworms and
army worms.
"This certainly makes the cost of
using poisoned bran mash within the
limits of every farmers pocketbook."
says Mr.. Ford.

Depression still clings to the cat
tie market. Fairly moderate receipts
arrived during the past week and
were absorbed only at ~unevenly low

dull and droppy with consumptive de-
mand restricted by high temperatures

$1.00 lower, Best yearlings and but
cher she stock showed the least loss.
able to about $8.25, ana bulk of all the
beef steers at the weeks close sold
from $3.50 to $3.50, with commonest
kinds down as low as $500. Butcher
cows and heifers sold largely at the
finish from $3.75 to $500, with only
a few of the best kinds up around
$3.50, or slightly higher. Lack of de-
mand for feeding cows is forcing most
of the Gamers and cutters into pack
ers' hands, these selling at the close
on a slow market from $3.50 to $3.50.
Bologna bulls sold largely from $500
to $500, with occasional choice head
at $425 to $4.35. Veal calf prices
were discounted 75c during the week,
closing packer top being $7.25. This
is the dull season in the stocker and
feeder trade and little stock is now
moving. Common and medium grad
es are quotable around soc lower for
the week, many of these selling for
their killing values. A few feeding
cows are selling from $3.50 to $3.50.
General supplies of hogs have been
fairly liberal during the week and the
market is closing 25 to 35c lower
than a week ago, range $500 to SITS,
bulk $40 to $7.55, best pigs around
$3.50. Lambs are closing 75c to $1.25

top on light ewes $3.50, best heavy
ewes around $2.25.

Nolan Bill Appears Again in New


The Nolan Bill, which caused SO
much disturbance in the last session
of congress because of its proposal
to place a m per cent tax on all
land valued in excess OF $1,000 has
appeared in a bill H. r. 6773, recently
introduced by Congressman Oscar e.
Keller, of Minnesota.
Mr.. Keller's bill would exempt
buildings and improvements, and in
the case of farms, cost of clearing,
drainage and maintenance of fertility.
According to the author it "aims to
tax monopoly holdings of land out of
use. The exceptions are so applied
to farms as to exempt from taxation
approximately SO per cen of all actu-
al farms"
This bill was reported to the House
Ways and Means Committee. II re-
mains to be seen whether farmers
will fight the Keller bill as vigorous
ly as they did the Nolan bill.

LIVESTOCK ADVERTISING NOW

1t is not advisable for the livestock
breeder to discontinue advertising al
together during the period of financial
stringency, for two reasons: First.
1t is possible that his former patrons
may think he has gone out of the
business of selling high class stuff.
Second, ii will cost more to regain
public recognition when times get
better than II an advertising cam
paign of AT least limited proportions
had been continued now. Large space
Is not necessary. The important thing
now is to keep your farm and your
livestock before the people whose
business you expect to get later on
unless, of course, yo intend to let
business drag. The same thing holds
true of all commercial advertising.

Tex May Name
Day
Opponent Today
Bill Brennan Appears to
Have B e st Chance;-
May Also Definitely
Pick Fighter to Meet
Georges in October.

NEW YORK, July l7.-Tex Rick
ard, after a lengthy vacation of
two whole days, will probably step
out tomorrow and announce the
name of Georges Carpenters little
pal for their jamboree,, next Octo-
Der at one of his fight parlors,
either Madison Square Garden or
that spacious arena in Jersey CITY.
At the same time Tex may come
through with an announcement on
the program he has in mind for q
Labor Day fight carnival. 1t is ex-
pected that an opponent will be
selected for Jack Dempsey on the
latter date.
Looks like Bill Brennan for
Dempsey and Tom Gibbons for the
Frenchman. Eddy Kane, manager
Of Gibbons, will have another con-
fab with the promoter tomorrow
and it is more than likely that all
details will be arranged for that
quarrel at any rate. Jack Kearns
the boss of the Dempsey stable. may
look in on Tex and sew up the date
for the champion with Leo T.
Flynn's big Irishman.
