GRIND FEED INTO MONEY

With market conditions as they are
this year in both grains and cattle,
a great many farmers will find it
necessary to feed their grain if they
are to make any profit at all out of it.
Cattle feeding authorities are prac-
tically unanimous in saying that
greater value al be gotten out of
ground feed than u%nground when used
for feeding purposes. Experiment
station figures tend to prove that both
cattle and hogs gain in weight much
faster when fed the ground food and
that the increased gain in weight &C
complished through this practice will
pay a high rate of interest on an in
vestment in a grinder.
The power for operating the grind
er is, of course, IN important thing
and the man who has a gas engine
or tractor is fortunate. Ordinarily,
about four bushels of corr or 2R
bushels of oats will be handled blythe
ordinary mill for each horse power
operating it. A tractor is thus seen
to give ample power for operating al
most any grinder that the average
farmer would have in his equipment.
A distinct advantage of feed grind
ing is that it gives valuable employ
ment to the tractor at a time when it
might otherwise not be busy.

PRESIDENT RECALLS
THE GOOD OLD DAYS
By George r. Holmes

Washington, Jan. 25.-Sometimes,
in the stress and turmoil Of interna-
tional conferences, treaties, agricul-
tural blocs, tax legislation and other
ills that a president of the United
States is heir to, Warren G. Harding
wishes he could slip back to the "Good
Old Days."
The "Good Old Days" were those
when the great American dollar was
q power in the land, and a thing to
be looked up to and not down upon.
The "Good Old Days" were those in
which a dollar would buy a dollar
watch or 20 fairly good cigars, to say
nothing of what it would accomplish
in the way of entertainment.
Recently, during a tanning bee with
"other newspaper men," the president
putting a sweetly odorous pipe, waxed
reminiscent and spun a tale which
should 60 down in all the economic
primers of the land. While a great
deal of the charm is lost in the re-
telling, the story intrinsically is worth
much as evidence of what the dollar
once would accomplish. Substantially,
the president told the story as follows:
"This was back in the days when
the Marion Star first became affluent
enough to afford a reporter. Before
that day I had been the editor, the
reporter, the advertising man and
quite a bit besides. ...
"Our reporter-let's call him Bill
Jones-was the most ardent admirer
of William Shakespeare I've wei seen.
l had Shakespearean ~learnings myself
in those days, being particularly par
tial to Julius Caesar. I've since lost
some Of my fondness for Caesar, but
that is no part of this story.
AT any rate, a noted Shakespeare
ear troupe came to Cleveland one
week. Cleveland is about 100 miles
from Marion. Bill yearned to go to
Cleveland. He would have gone to
Timbuctoo to see Shakespeare credit
ably acted. I had some warnings
about going myself. So we decided
we could make it by a little financial
manipulation. We planned to go on
Saturday.
"1n those days railroads used to is
sue passes to proprietors of newspa-
pers. L had one myself, and one for
my father. I figured we could get
fathers pass 0. KID over to Bill for
this trip, so l sent a request into head
charters to this effect.
"Came along Saturday morning, and
the authorization had not come
through. We were in somewhat of a
fix. After paying off the Star force
with the exception of Bill and Jack,
the foreman, I had just SIG. The fore
mans pay vas $40. So I went to Jack.
"'Jack', I said, I've got money here
to pay you, but I want to go up to
Cleveland to see a show. How about
letting me give it to you next week?'
"It looks to me- he said, If you've
got money enough to run around to
shows you ought to have money
enough to pay your help
well, that made me mad, so l said,
all right, take it," But l decided to
go anyway.

we were going to get something to
eat and a place to sleep and get back
home.
Looking for a match or something,
I poked my finger in my watch pocket.
And there, long forgotten, was a one
dollar bill. Never did a bill look so
! big. It was monumental. That gave
us $40.
"Well, we went down to an old but
very good hotel, and with my heart in
my mouth I asked how much it would
be for us to spend the night, two in
a room. The clerk said a dollar and
a half. We took it.
"Next morning we rose, paid our
bill, had a substantial breakfast for
rs cents apiece, had u shoes shined
and purchased the morning papers.
"Then came the question of getting
home. We went down to the station,
and l said to Bill:
"'There's nothing to it now. You're
George T. Harding and that ends it,
"Well, sir, we went through a-fly-
ing. The conductor never glanced at
Bill, posing as my father, and We
landed in Marion some hours later,
still with ten cents.
"There we had gone 100 miles from
home, attended a theater, slept in a
good hotel, had breakfast, had eur
shoes shined and read the news of the
world in a leisurely fashion next morn
inp-a11 for less than 81
"And those" sighed the president Of
the United States, "were the Good
Old Days."

COOLIDGE SAYS LETS Cor

Vice President Coolidge on the first
of January wrote a letter at the re-
quest of the N. Y. Journal of Com
merce, so optimistic that it deserves
a wider circulation than the Journal
was in a position to accord it. The
body of the letter reads:
There are may increasing indica-
lions that this nation is at the begin
ming of a greatly increased prosper
ity. There has been a drastic defla-
ton of all kinds of merchandise, which
appears to be completed. There are
many things selling below the cost of
production. There is a large reserve
of money in the banks. The rate of
interest has declined. Every appear
ance indicates that business has reach
ed a stable foundation. There has not
been a complete economic internation-
al readjustment, but the foundation
has been laid for it in the existence
Of the most complete and friendly un-
~derstanding which ever existed be-
tween the nations of the world. The
Washington Conference made a re-
markable contribution to this end. The
period Of reaction is done. The time
for prosperity is at hand. The mater
ial conditions have been completed.
To all this let the faith of man add
prosperity"
1t was William James idea that a
man ran, not because he was afraid of
the bear, but that he was afraid of
the bear because he ran. Business has
for long been in a bearish mood be-
cause of the Wilson aftermath when
the conscience of an Administration
made towards of us all. We should
turn the other way and put a little
bull into business.

made out to Warren G.. Harding and
another to George T. Harding, my

I gave him the passes and explained
that the authorization had not come

was all right. Everything looked

BUY SOMETHING MADE OF
COPPER

We all remember the "Buy a Bale
Of Cotton" slogan during the war
when cotton industry was languishing,
and we have not forgotten that the
cotton growers and workers in the
cotton fields received encouragement
and assistance from the putting into
practice of that slogan.
Our mountain states contain some
of the greatest copper mines in the
world and the business of cities of con-
siderable size rises or falls with the
prosperity of dullness of the copper
industry.
There is no question as to the ulti-
mate property Of this industry, for
copper is indispensable in the work of
the world, but meanwhile there is a

state, where the merchants have been
u~nfriendly to a state truth-in-fabric
law, and have done little to assist it
in the marketing of pure wool blank
cts, indicates the countrywide inter-
weaving Of business interests and the
power of the shoddy manufacturers
who sell their products as new and
pure wool fabrics.
All that the w~oolgrowers ask is that
their interests be protected only to the
extent that wool substitutes and
shoddy-which is maerial from old
rags or made over fabrics-shall not
be sold under the dishonest pretense
that they are new and pure wool.
They are only demanding that the law
require products of the manufacturers
which are not first hand wool not to
be falsely labeled first hand wool, but
to be labeled what they really are.
This will be nc injustice to a n
f~acturers or middlemen, but will be
simple justice to woolgrowers and
wool consumers.
1t is easy to understand why the
truth-in-fabric bill has such a hard
fight. For decades, in fact since
the beginning Of cloth manufacturing
in this country, shoddy and wool sub
stitutes have been made into fabrics
and the fabrics sold for wool. Hun
vested in factories engaged in this
dreds of millions of dollars are in
business. A truth-in-fabric law, COM
polling these factories to truthfully
label their products doubtless will
have an injurious effect upon their
business.
However, just because they have
been established upon an injustice to
the woolgrowers and the wool con-
sumers, and may be hurt by a rectifi-
cation of that injustice, is no reason
why the injustice should be perpetu-
ated forever.
The woolgrowers and wool consum-
ers are. entitled to a fair deal, the
first in his industry and the latter in
the goods markets, and the sooner the
shoddy and other. fabric manufacture
ers of this country are compelled to
readjust their industries upon an equit-
able basis, the better for everybody.
There is no doubt this abuse of the
woolmen will be agitated and the
truth-in-fabric bill pressed at WASH

Mr.. Evans produced a safety a z

both made in Germany, and which
he had purchased in New York.
The razor closely resembled the
American model that formerly sold
for S. and nee as low as $3.50.
1t was in three pieces, nickel plated
and inclosed in a nickel-plated,
plush-lined case. The workmanship
was excellent. Mr.. Evans said that
this article had been sold by the
German manufacturer to the Ameri-

had purchased the East and six
American razor blades which fitted
the German frame in New York for
SO cents.
Also he exhibited to the Rotarians
a hollow cylinder, finely finished,
containing a variety of small tools,
of excellent grade Of steel, gimlet,

ing sold to the wholesale trade in

Mr.. Evans said. "Prices on the

The speaker told of rooms in the
