Thrift for 2OO2 4. D.
VILLAGE business man-nOt bIac

~ smith-named w. B. Kendall, OF
Bowdoinham, Maine, has advanced a
plan for the easy paying off OF the United
States national debt that is SO sensible ana
simple that there is practically no chance or
anything being done with it. :.
Mr. Kendall after a bit of figuring arrives
at the suggestion that fifty-four million dol
lars set aside at eight per cent interest, COM
pounded, would amount to more than tWen-
ty-five billions of dollars in eighty years
sufficient to wipe out the present national
debt and leave several billions in the nation
al bank for our Observation-Disclosures
If we desired all to have hand in this ex-
cellent and forethoughtful move, each cltl-
zen could chip in the moderate amount OF
half a dollar mere four-bits, and thereby
compile nest-egg that would pay of the
natiolal mortgage by the time his fourth
generation descendants were old enough to
worry about taxes.
At four-bits throw, it does seem reason
able turn to do for posterity, despite the cold
fact that posterity never has done anything
for US. :,
Or congress could set aside fifty-four mil
lions of the savings from the naval vacation
and provide plan for paying off the big debt.
At four per cent, OF course, II woula TAKE
twice as long. But we are always looking to-
ward the future; at least, that is the popular
idea.
This scheme ought to interest Mr.. Henry
Ford, who is benevolent and philosophical
and foreward looking citizen. By changing
his will Mr.. Ford could provide substantial
easement to tax-ridden future Americans.
Now Mr.. Kendall may be very long-slght-
ed and then again he. may not be-
Mr. Kendall Is starting such an operation
on compound interest in his own home town.
Recently he took up a collection or $55O
among his neighbors, to salt down at COM
pound interest. Eighty years from now II
will amount to something like $4,000, II
left alone to it's interest-compounding pro-
clivities.
This appears just now like substantial
Increase But by the good year 2OO2. that
amount may be needed to purchase couple
of dozen eggs.
The trouble is, we don't know, and have
no sure way to find out, what the f1scal
status of this country will be in 2OO2.
So it is probable that most of us will be
inclined to let the old ship of state roll
along on it's course, considering that the
troubles of our own day are sufficient there
unto.
At that Mr.. Kendalls calculations may
serve to stir some interest in compound IN
terest and trust funds and such matters
particularly in the excellent plan wealthy per-
sons now are beginning to adopt, or NOT
turning over vast estates in toto to their
heirs. but of sewing up fair proportion In
trust funds, of which the heirs can get only
part of the interest.
This plan at least would prevent the age
old system that ran a shoestring up to
fortune in one or two generations, only tc
run it down again to the shoestr1ng - the
s'shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves" rotation that
has kept fortunes more or less in circulation
Still, fortunes in circulation are no. pad
thing-for the people who haven't the 1or'
tunes in the first place.

Beats HI. G. L.

Jacob Bowder, Of Mason City, Iowa, prac-
ticing what he calls "a careful system or
buying and cooking" has made public an
inventory of his household expenses for five
and half months, for himself and wife,
which he challenges any one to beat
The total amount spent was $3.50, ex-
Guiding rent. Everything bought was of good
quality, he says, and they had three square
meals day, with meat and everything nee
essary for health and happiness.
Economy is merely condition of m1n6,
says Bowder. Nowadays folks spend alto
gether too much for things they would be
better off without. High cost of living need
have no worries for the average man who
will plan rightly.

line foremost problem affecting
agriculture today is marketing and
distribution Of farm products" says
the 1922 agricultural program adopt
ed by the third annual convention of
the Minnesota Farm Bureau fedora
ton in St. Paul. The program, which
lays out lines Of activity to be fol-
lowed this year by the federation, is
series of statements which definitely
pledge the organization to support
these principles and projects:
An adjustment Of farm business to
market demands, with a reduction of
the spread between farm prices and
prices paid by consumers.
Rigid retrenchment by farmers in
purchases of machinery, building ma
terial, and so forth, until reasonable
price readjustmcnt is established.
A statewide campaign for passage
of the Christensen rural credits
amendment to the state constitution
in the next general election, backed
by the full strength Of the farm bu-
reau.
Control Of the federal reserve sys-
tenn by representatives of basic pro-
ductive industries, including agricul-
ture.
Revision of credit laws to give far
mers II, "a and SO months credit.
Continuation of the agricultural
loan agency of the war finance cor
poration until permanent agency is
established to take it's place.
Full support for the U. S. Grain
Growers, Inc, the National Livestock
Producers association, the Minnesota
Cooperative Creameries association
lnc., and the Central Cooperative
Commission association, and similar
organizations.
Extension of cost of production in
vestigations.
Consideration of a collective buying
program for 1923, when cooperative
marketing mas been fully established.

ships, Mr.. Reeds mailing address is
Gary, S. D.
ANY farmer would be unresponsive
indeed if he did not appreciate the
honor you have conferred on me" Mr..
Reed said in his speech to the dele
gates, accepting the presidency. I
believe we are entering a period of
great Importance for the farm bureau
of this state. I am willing to devote
what poor ability I may have to fur
ther the organization. I beg Of you
your earnest cooperation and help. l
expect every director and every farm
bureau member present to go home
with the idea of more solid organiza-
ton. .:.
agriculture is passing through it's
greatest crisis. If we are going to lift
the pail of gloom that is over the
farmers now, we must bring to this
work stout hearts, clear heads and
willing hands. It is peculiar condi-
ton of affairs that the farmer always
has been subject to conditions over
which he has had no control. He has
had to haul his crops to market and
humbly ask how much they were
worth; he has had to go to the store
and respectfully ask how much he
must pay for the goods he had to buy.
That condition is unthinkable. It is a
challenge to the American spirit of fair
play. Our state stands out in bold re-
lief in cooperative marketing orga-
nizations, the farmer will be in the
same position as the manufacturer.
The manufacturer would look upon an
attempt by anyone else to set the price
of his products as audacious. During
the last few years., nonproductive
agencies have governed the price of
the farmers products.
II must have the cooperation of
every farm bureau member. We must
work in harmony. There are some
powerful and insidious forces at work
to break down cooperation among
farmers. There are influences at
work today throughout the country to
tear down an agency that is the fc'ln
dation Of the farm bureau. I rc;;er
to the county agents. l. is fine time
to go to the farmer and tell him his
taxes are too high. I know mine are
high, awfully high. But believe the
farmers will demand the office of
county agent shall be maintained. I
want you to go home and serve notice
on your county commissioners that
when they try to move the county
agent out of your county, they might
as we'll try to move out the court
house. Looking from my own barn
door, l can see where the county agent
has been helpful to me. Looking
across my line fences I can see where
ne has been helpful to my ncighbor,
to my county, and to the state. I
pledge to the utmost my poor ability
to carry on the work of the farm bu
reau"
At the close of Mr.. Reeds talk, the
delegates rose spontaneously and
pledged their united support to the
new president of the Minnesota feder-
alton.
