 YEoMEN
 Phoenix Homestead No. 5471 held very happy business meeting last Thursday evening, as this was the first meeting of this homestead after the supreme cenclave session which was held in Denver, Colo. although our delegate had not returned. We were all we'll pleased with the work of the conclave- Brotherhood of American Yeomen will soon have a home for the orphans and disabled Yeomen. This adds one of the most important links to this great frater- nal organization. The grea test and most important thing in all this world is home. It Is the basis of right eousness. the foundation of civiliza- tion; the one great necessity for hap piness. The most pathetic. the most tragic word fin the English language Is the word homestead For a child or for one whose hair is silvered by time to be homeless is the supreme tragedy of the age The proposal of the Yeoman officiary is for a Yeoman home for orphan children and aged and infirm members.

over on his many friends by taking
especial plastering course in a cor

when he was sent his diploma as
master plasterer that Mr.. Clark had
been studiously taking lessons the
past two years and has mastered the
art to such a degree that he is
contemplating organizing a stock
company He takes great pride in
the interior decorations CT Lis

many friends over to inspect his

RAILROAD EARNINGS

II the railroads are the accurate
barometer of business that they have
been regarded, the skies are begin
ming to clear in this country, for the
showing made by the carriers fol-
the month of June is most encou-
raging Net operating revenues for
that month were $51 ,778 900, which
is an increase of $14,697, 346 over
the net operating revenues for May
OF the 202 class l railroads reporting
but ~ failed to show profit in June
as compared to SO which showed a
loss in May.
The railroads have long distance
to travel in order to get back to a
state of reasonable prosperity. de-
spite the gains they have made OF
late The net operating income
shown for June is equivalent to an
annual return of 81 per cent on the
fair valuation of the roads as deter
mined by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. In May the net in
come was at the rate Of "a per cent
on the valuation This shows a
very decided improvement, although
it is still far short of the per cent
return contemplated by the trans
portation act.
The improvement in the railroad
situation is not to be disregarded,
for it is highly significant The last
showings certainly furnish a very
substantial basis for confidence in
the future.

HOT July CUTS POTATO YIELD

HOT JULY CUTS POTATO YIELD
MADISON-A decrease of $500
cars in prospective commercial po-
tato crop in Wisconsin, is shown by
Joseph A. Becker os the Wisconsin
cooperative crop reporting service.
Based on Aug. 1 condition, the car
.ot movement of the 1921 crop will
be approximately 1890 cars, COM
pared to 23,60O forecast, July l, &c.
900 produced in 1920, q, 300 in 1919,
and $4,000 cars. in 1918.
The decline is due to the unusually
hot and dry weather of July, which
not only retarded proper growth but
prevented much of the seed from ger
minating.
The prospective carload shipments

sricts follows: Northern, 1926 car

TRADE ASSOCIATIONS
AND PRICE FIXING

Following the conference between
officials of the Department Of JUS
tice and the Department of Com
merce, it is announced that the gov
ernment's campaign against price
fixing by trade associations will be
carried forward solely with the idea
Of preventing infractions of the law
and with a proper consideration for
legitimate business. Assurance is
given that nothing will be done un-
reasonably to disturb commercial
and industrial activity.
The Washington Post thinks that
it is of great Importance that the
government exercise its influence to
ward the breaking up of illegal price
fixing combinations, under whatever
guise they may masquerade, and it
states that the revelations of in
vestigating committees in New York
and elsewhere revealed the existence
of gaint conspiracies to maintain
prices at abnormal levels and to re-
strict the supply of these materials.
These combinations, it says, were of
such magnitude and strength as to
interfere seriously with the tendency
toward normal prices and conditions,
end were not only illegal in them
selves but distinctly a gainst the
public interest.

GENERAL CROP SUMMARY


Crop conditions for the week end
ing August 6, are covered in reports
received by the Bureau of Markets
and Crop estimates, United States
Department of Agriculture, from its
field statisticians in the different
States.
Corn. The condition of the corn
crop has been declining, but is still
above the average condition.
Wheat. Threashing of winter
wheat is in full progress and some
disappointing yields Of poor quality
are reported. In general, the yield
is below average.
Oats. Threshing of the oat crop
is progress throughout the Central
and Northern States, but the yield
and quality are generally below
average.
Cotton. The cotton crop is show
ing some deterioration, due to the
ravages of the boil weevil. Soma
complaint Of under sized plants is
reported, due tc lack of fertilizer
Potatoes. The Irish potato crop
has been damaged by the long, con-
tinued drought and heat, and the
yield will be light. The yield of
early potatoes was generally dis
appointing.

THE SMALL TOWN

Within the next twenty years it
seems certain that two movements
will take place that will enlarge the
small town.
One o fthese will be the migration
of business and professional men ana
their families to towns of 5000 to
10000 located within a fifty-mile
radius of cities in which they work
during the day.
The other will be the decentraliza-
ton of industry, and the movement
of both factories and working forces
from the city to the small town.
With improved living conditions,
factories will favor small town sites,
figuring that they will thus reduce
their labor turnover, and save enough
in overhead, taxes, and interest on
expensive city sites, to more than
compensate them for the disadvan-
tages of doing business in small
town. s.
If this adjustment does take place
it will solve many of our most per-
picking problems, for there is no
question that our cities are getting
too big. A city, like business, can
get SO large that the law or diminish
ing returns begins to operate. 1t
is an established principle that when
business grows beyond certain
point the return on the capital in
vested decreases.
The same principle applies to CT
ties. Big cities have such problems
as transportation, housing, health,
fire and police protection, from which
the small town is largely free.
The factors which are doing much
to hasten this decentralization are
the automobile, the motion picture,
and the talking machine, all Of re-
cent invention.
The automobile has shortened the
distance between the small town and
the big cities by rs per cent.
The motion picture has given the
small town the cheapest and most
popular form Of entertainment ever
devised, while the talking machine
has enabled the people to hear the
worlds best music right in their own

ABOUT ROADS


MADISON, Wis.-At an import
ant meeting of the Wisconsin High
way Commission held recently it
was decided to. give to the public a
statement of the road building situa-
ton which the Commission now faces
owing to the failure of the Legis-
lature to make appropriation. w.
o. Hotchkiss, Secretary of the Com
mission, was instructed to give out
the following:
By the system under which Wis
consin Highway work is carried on
and the cost of which is paid jointly
by the Federal government, the state
and the counties, it is necessary that
the state provide for its tax levies,
several years nadvance of the work
in order to give the counties time to
provide their funds; for the engine
ers to prepare plans and surveys,
and to get the approval of the Fed
eral government. Before shovel
if dirt is moved, these preliminaries
must be attended to. The state levy
for highway work will end with this
Falls levy and next Springs collec-
tion of taxes, so that the Commits
sion's present bodybuilding program
will come to an end with the work of
1922.
BY the time the Legislature of
1923 can make the necessary provi-
sion, no time will be left that year
for plans on construction. But the
failure of the Legislature means
more than this. For ten years this
Commission has been building up a
staff of efficient experienced engine
ers to carry on the work. With no
provision for work after 1922, it
will become necessary to drop many
of these experienced engineers. The
Commission is confident that the
people of the State desire the road
building program, which it has been
working on, carried out; and conf
dent, also, that the Legislature of
1928 will make the necessary pro-
visions But, the disorganization
of our engineering force will entail
q Serious loss upon the state in the
meantime.
Road work in Wisconsin comprises
two main items construction and
maintenance. Construction IS paid
for in three weys: By county bond
issues, by town, county and state
money on state aid roads, and by
county, state and Federal money on
Federal Aid roads. The largest
amount is spent on Federal aid
roads. The failure of the Legisla-
ture affects the last named work
chiefly.
Some of the less wealthy counties
of the state are already overaurden-
ed by beng required under the law
to pay one-third the cost of Federal
aid construction. The. Highway Com
mission recommended to the last
Legislature that the law be changed
so as to relieve the counties of this
burden, and use only state funds to
meet Federal aid The Legislature
failed to act upon the recommends
tino and so these burdened counties
are left in bad shape, with the add
ed burden now of being required by
law to pay the cost of maintaining
the State Trunk Highways, which
cost has heretofore been paid by the
state.
The Highway Commission is glad
to be able to announce that its Chief
Engineer, A. r. Hirst, has yielded to
its urgent request and will remain.
at the head of the Commission.

Rio De Janelro. Aug. 20.--Despite
the tradition In South America that
Europe especially the Latin coun'

lights attractive to the tourist, North
America Is beginning TO attract at
iention among the South American
travellers.
II was recently reported from Ar

1t was planned for the Argentine
tourists to go by special train to

1t Is pointed out that the Amerl-

has in the recent years brought the
many natural beauty spots Of North
America. as well as the portrayal OF
American life and industry, before

American tourist to start travelling
north to see things OF interest which
before were only thoughts to be had
