HOW HENRY FORD WEATHERED

Little more than six months ago
Henry Ford had all but completed ar
rangements for borrowing $75,000,00(
in the face of what appeared to be
desperate necessity says the Wall
street Journal. His plants were clos
Led, there was little demand for his
cars. Ford owed the government $55,
100000 in taxes. Notes for nearly $50,

his minority partners, were due with
in a few weeks Cash and treasury
bonds together aggregated only $685.

the factory and choked salesrooms over
the country The public was not buy
ing automobiles of any kind
Yet Ford did not borrow from the
banks, but paid them up and today
his sales are the greatest in history.
How was the corner turned?
1t was first turned by transfer

over the world to- willing and unwilling
|consignees and drew against them.
The tide of cash returned $69, 900 900

He also gave notes or acceptances
to some extent for supplies and partN

Ford came East and found $91 ,O0O-
600 in frozen" cars and parts in
New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
Changes in personnel followed and
others were threatened The cars be-

The Dealers Borrow
An Indiana dealer had his floor full

into the city. His business future was
at stake. He must and did accept the
draft, but he could not pay for the
cars. A former disgruntled Ford deal

trainload at wholesale and started the
countryside by advertising bargain

In~1other cities and towns the deal
ers went to their banks and borrowed
on the cars. Shipments averaged about
a 10th Of a years business and the
credit was quickly obtainahle. The
cash flowed back into Detroit and bv'

SOME STARS ARE GIANTS

When one thinks of long distances
to India, New Zealand, Chilli, or other
countries; when one contemplates the
length of great rivers or the expanse
of the ocean, person is inclined to
think of the earth as large terres-
trial body. In fact the, earth is but a
grain of sand in space.
The moon is 100000 miles from the
earth yet if the earth and moon were
placed inside the sun, in case that
luminary were hollow, the moon would
revolve about the earth with space to
spare; the sun is $4,000 miles in
diameter.
The size of the sun as compared
with the earth seems large but the

a survey by the bureau of crop esti-

The drop is almost entirely confined

On the other hand ten crops gained
in value, chief of which are oranges,
with gain of $32,0O0,000, and sugar
beets $24,000,000. Other items of gain
are cabbage, $11,000000; cow peas,

were made by soy beans, sugar beet

slaughtered. The wool decline is as
yet unrealized, but it is reckoned at
$37 100000. OF the animals sold and
slaughtered the decline for cattle and
calves is $223,0O0,OOO, and for swine
$427, 100000. But on the other side of
the account dairy products gained
.$311 100000; and poultry raised and
eggs produced $160,000,000.
It is the rule that in the upward and
downward movements of prices farm
animals and animal products lag be-
hind crops. So extreme was the lag
in the price of animals and animal
products in 1920, on account of the
extraordinary fall in the prices of
crops within a short period, that the
total crop value of 1920 is reconked to
be only Sc per cent of the total. value
of all farm products. In the estimates
for long series of years this is the
first crop value estimate that has fall
en- below 90 per cent of the total OF
all products.

MASTER MIND" OF
THE WHISKY RING
SITS IN CHICAGO AND USES
LONG DISTANCE PHONE TO
DIRECT OPERATIONS.

CHICAGO, Ill.-"Somewhere in
Chicago" sits the man who is the
brains of the great Chicago whisky
ring.
He lives in a comfortable apart
ment, whick he uses also as an Office.
He is in almost daily communication
by long distance telephone with
Washington, Cincinnati and other
cities.

lieutenants. Two live in Chicago. Two
live in Washington.

These five men-the real higher
ups" in systematic booze traffic that
covers half of the country-have
cleaned up $14000,0Q0 in profits since
national prohibition went into effect.
Such is the story whispered in Chi
cago 1t is a story that contains no
names and no addresses. 1t may be of
the flimsiest foundation-but there are
several people in Chicago who insist
it is true. Reports concerning this
fourteen million dollar clique" are
significantly persistent.
There has been emphasis on the
story the past week because of the &C
tivity of the federal grand jury prob
ing the booze scandal and the coinci-
dent resignation of Maj. A. V. Dali
rymple, most famous commissioner in
the country.
Chief Is Worried.
1t is said the mysterious chief of
the fourteen million dollar clique" is
worried about Dalrymple's conhden-
tial report, though he claims to have
such tremendous influence that he can
not be touched"
Major Dalrymple refuses to discuss
his report Commissioner Williams in
Washington admitted its existence, but
went no further than hint that it in
cluded names of politicians and OH
Gals who attempted to block enforce
ment of the prohibition law"
1t is significant that two leading
enforcement officials have resigned IN

commissioner, resigned several months
ago with the admission he was help
less-and that he had turned down OPP

Dalrymple Now Out.
Now Dalrymple, who hung on to
his job in spite of open opposition,
has quit.
Are they going to get the higher
ups?" Everybody wonders. Meanwhile
