 he open shop movement, now well under way all over the United States, IS deemed by its proponents as prime means of bringing about lowered labor costs and with them increased produc- ton. When such a gigantic force in the industry of the country as the Bethlehem Steel Company openly an nounces its aid for this movement. even to the extent of refusing to sell its product to manufacturers not favoring the open shop idea, 1t is at once evi- dent what vast momentum the open shop movement is obtaining. There is no question as to the economic value of the open shop. But, at the same time, those who are pushing it must be most careful in their methods

REVOLVING FUND FOR ROADS WEARS
 VANISHING POINT
Loans Granted by Government Now Aggregate Nearly
 5 $28O,OOO,OOO.

Washington, Jan. 28-Advances aggregating more than $2O5 100000 were made the railroads last year from the $500 100000 revolving fund provided in the transportation Act, 1t is announced by the Interstate Commerce Commis- s1on. Loans aggregat1ng $51 ,653, ,5o4 may be made on pending applications, leaving $2,o25,040 of the fund available for additional loans.
 Of the advance last year, $86, 173,- 75O was to meet indebtedness, $41 1885, oIO for the purchase of new equipment, Sl7,2ol ,294 for betterment of way struc- lures, and $oO,675,44 for freight train equipment.
 Forty million dollars of the revolving fund has been set aside to meet any damages against the roads which may result from suits pending and instituted during the period of federal control.
 Upon the showing made in reports ot the Interstate Commerce Comms- sion the Class 1 railroads are earning approximately 3H per cent. of the value ot the1r properties as tentatively fixed for rate-making purposes by the com mission.
 r The net railway operating income for November of the Class 1 roads was PJ/ ,/TI,9o/, WHICH IS 9fl,o44,UOo, or .O.S per cent. below the amount which 1t was estimated would be earned under the increased rates fixed in August by the commission in accordance with the Transportation Act. The tabulation is based on reports received from 200 railroads, with total mileage of 22o,- 754 miles.
 To have realized a return of per cent. on their valuation, as provided by the Transportation Act, the railroads should have earned 9,286,O0O as their November quota.
 Compilations show that for the first quarter since the expiration of the guaranty period, on September l, the net railway operation income totals $21o, o,507,735, which is $1O1, ,44o,2 less than was estimated would be earned under the rates fixed by the commission and effective on August % last To have earend six per cent. upon their tentative valuation, their net operating income should have been $320,o57, ,0OO during that period.

FARM SELECTION PERPLExING
Study Of Several Intricate Points
Called For-Knowiedge OF Basic
Principles Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
In choosing a farm one has the op-
tons of buying with the intention OF
operating the place as his entire busi-
ness, buying small farm and renting
enough additional land to meet his
needs, or renting a farm either on the
share or cash basis. Ones choice In
the matter is usually determined by
the funds available.
If one has only small amount OF
cap:tal and wishes to undertake farm
ing as business from which to de-
rive his entire income, he should, In
nearly all cases, begin as renter.
However, If he wishes to buy farm
on which to live, deriving a part of his
income from other sources, then, pos
sibiy. purchasing is desirable, even II
capital is limited.
Whatever course Is followed, 1t Is
highly desirable that one thoroughly
understand the basic principles gov
erning the farm business before de-
Gliding some Of the finer points. A dis
regard Of these basic principles is re-
sponsihle for large proportion Of
farm failures.
A man may pnconsciously work all
his life against some economic barrier
when success wonld have been com
paratively easy II he had selected q
farm where the economic principle
would aid him instead Of working
against him.
