CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The world in 1921 looks pretty blue to J. A. Patten, 0ne-time wheat king and a mighty keen observer of men. money and .hings.s
 'There'll be no boom and so panic in 1921" he told me. "There1l be lots of men out of work. Prices will fall little and wages a lot. The far mer will have cheaper labor but his markets will be low It will be a hard times year but it will leave us better off than it found us."
 Here's Patten's prophecies for 1921:
 Fcod prices will fall little. There is plenty of food This means great CT money buying power for city dwel' lers but severe trouble to the farmers trying to pay for land bought at in Hated prices and accustomed to the luxuries of the high price era.
 Wages must drop. Until. they dc

investigated with the idea of hitching it to the wheels of industry. The Uni ted States still has much water pow CT to be harnessed. among them be- ing the Colorado river where there is opportunity for great storages of water within the deep walls of this stream, where sometimes a depth of a miles is shown.
 We Again Refer to the Sturgeon
 The Sturgeon river, in the upper peninsula of Michigan, surrounded by active mines, mills and various oth- CT industrial operations, is still run ming unleashed to the lake. Brought into use it would be a fine power and considerable copper would be used in eQuipping it. In Ishpeming the Cleve- land Cliffs Iron company has been operating all it's mines rom It's own hydro-electric stations on the Dead, Carp and Au Train rivers. Just at present low water is responsible for a shortage of power from these sources, but it is planned to construct great dam on the Dead river that will hold water enough to tide over the longest dry periods that will pro- bably be experienced. Thus far the  dam on the Dead is of small propor- tions, and a very much larger one is being planned, work on which will be commenced as soon as the desired preliminaries can be arranged. To tide over this present low water period. $100,000 tons of coal were recently purchased by the company, which is power costs in these days of exorbi' tant fuel prices. Fuel oil is ccmpar- atively as high as coal, ana electrifi- cation of the streams wherever avail able and practical is one way out of the extraordinary expense. There will undoubtedly be mucn done in adding new water powers during the imme- diate future, the value of this being well appreciated. Considerable cop. per is to be employed in these ad- ditions

Wholesale commodity prices have dropped 8 per cent or more in the last ten months, the most drastic de cline in United States business his tory
 Industrial stock prices have drop ped between 8 and 40 points in the same time
 For long while business has been heading toward this readjustment and now we have it.
 So far, however, only two phases of business-wholesale commodities end security prices-have been seri- ously deflated. Retail prices, most real estate, rents and wages have hardly yet been touched.
 The one question in looking ahead to 1921 is:
 How fast will the liquidation pro ceed?"
 There is lot of water in present retail prices, in our present wage scales and in many of the accounts which our banks are carrying, but we don't knew whether this water is go- ing to be squeezed out by force Or al lowed to dry out in less drastic manner
 If the wringer is applied, we shall have very bad conditions for the next few months and then a gradual peri cd of improvement.

Pleads For ili[pinos
By James A. Frear
n frnn Wisconsin

W
 The Filipinos have developed rap idly as a people, and the date of 1921 originally proposed for indepenGence is suspicious. In 1910 the census showed 55 per cent i1iiteracy. This average is confidently claimed to have been reduced during the last ten years to less than 35 per cent, or proportion not far removed from several of our own states.
 It wounds our national pride to learn of our own shortcomings, but presumably less than half our fore fathers, with their limited education al opportunities. could have passed better muster when at Bunker Hill, but they soon afterward founded stable government that has been maintained for century and quar- ter, second to none in the world.
 In 1910 Argentine had 54.4 per cent Iof illiterates, Spain 5s.7 per cent, Portugal 69 per cent Brazil So per cent Scores of governments, includ- ing Rumania and Greece, the home of Athens, with 57 per cent Hitter lacy, rank far below the Filipinos. while Cuba is hopeless distanced. From every standpoint thus tested a stable" government exists on the Islands, has existed for years and ability to maintain 1t seems certain. The same arguments now used in opposing Filipino independence were urged in England against the Ameri- can colonists during our own history They all sound strangely familiar to- day
 The Filipinos are our friends. the larger part of their commerce IS with us and they insist our interests will be welded together closer than ever before when we invite their confi- dence by granting the promised fnde lpendence.
 | Apart from our governmental ideas and altruistic claims repeatedly made to the world, as a matter of justice and right, in my judgment. we should grant the Philippine people what we have pledged them and have already given uba-independence without strings.

Palttem Is lPessiaaiisfiic One Time Wheat King Predicts: "Hard Times Year."

there will be no widespread building and greater curtailment in industry. This means that thousands will be out of work and soup kitchens busy in big cities.
 Small salaries will remain where they are. The white collar man. with a small income has nothing to fear in 1921 except that general bus mess depression may force his lay off
 Stocks and bonds will be cheap. Except for sudden and short flurries. the stock market will be dull. Shrewd investors will buy heavily of indus trial stocks. They won't invest in building of small industrial enter prises.
 Patten said America can't have permanent prosperity until Europe IS 'out of the woods"
