QuouL capital charges.
It Is true that overhead would no.
be greatly increased If the operation
of more ships were needed to takt
care Of Americas trade. But my ex
perience as Chairman Of the Shipping
Board has caused me to realize. as
never realized before, that Govern

the vast feet It had TO run without 6
properly trained organization, the re

produced by private ownership; ant
no one will so argue.
Present Losses Amount To Subsidy
But I aver that under the Harding
Administration the Shipping Boards
operation has become comparable tt
the best operations Of privately owned
ships. The point wish to emphasize
though is that Government ownership
is not building up for the future, and
is overly costly in its operations at
all times.
While we are losing $50,000,000 an
nually in cash in operation. we are
wearing out the. feet, and in the
course Of = few years It will be OF No
worth. Nowhere have I heard any
voice suggesting that the Government
build further, merchant ships, and only
through private ownership can we see
hope Of renewals and additions that
will be needed. SO while at the mo.
ment we are not only justified, but our
national need demands that we con
hnue the sad losses Of operation OF
the Shipping Board until we can work
out national policy which will insure
the passage Of the feet into private
hands, we have no excuse for not i'm.
mediately tackling our problem and
solving it.
The main factors Of our problem
are, what kind Of merchant marine do
We require for war needs; what types
do we require for business needs: how
can we use the Government-owned
deet as nucleus in private hands for
the meeting Of these needs? President
Harding has offered to the Congress .
program Of legislation which will pro.
vide the solution.
In my next article I shall discuss
our war needs in q merchant marine.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

The county commissioners closed
a weeks session at the county seat

Wood Ships Colossal Error.
At the height Of its operations, Oc.
tober, 1920, the Shipping Board had
t,S17 steel ships plying between our
shores and those Of foreign markets.
With the decline which has come in
world trade, we are now (July u, op.
Grating 437 steel ships, Of q total Of g.
S09.485 deadweight tons, and have 9s3
steel ships, Of total Of 6,644,445 tons.
tied up.
For the purposes of the future, in
surveying the Governments feet, we
may eliminate the wooden ships, the
creation Of which, to my mind, was a
colossal error that even war cannot
forgive. Certainly the then Admin
tstration had ample warning through
General Goethals of the tragedy Of

tailed.
Thus, the Governments problem Of
temporary operation and ultimate dis.
position is involved in the 1,l3O steel
ships which 1t possesses.
When Shipping Board operations
we're at their height, American vessels
carried 46 per cent. of the value of
our in-and-out foreign commerce. To-
lay, with business depressed. we are
carrying bu. s5 Per cent: this due
largely to the fact that in time of sore

fave you gold mine within
stones throw of where YOU
= - stand? You don't know
Take ! look around and see. That's
what e. A. Strout did twenty-five
years ago. He found his gold mine
right at his elbow. Read this little
sketch Of where il was and how he
mined It. and gain wisdom for
yourself.
There are as many recipes for
success as there are successful
people But all recipes. il should
be noted, start with an idea Here
is the Strout recipe:
Ian idea
Pa woodshed

Sand advertised.
This is not a Joke, but a sober,
serious truth. Starting with the
idea Of selling farms, having little
cash, using his fathers woodshed
for an Office, fitting il with an old
desk and an old chair, IN twenty
two years Mr.. Strout has developed
a business having an annual turn
over OF over $4,000. 900 with 700
statesmen in thirty states. branch
Offices all across the North Ameri-
can Continent and connections in
Europe. There are 81 people en-
ployed in the home Office alone.
Strout was a farm boy. He knew
farms and the value of land and
buildings. Of growing or harvested
crops. livestock. machinery. tools,
household furniture, in fact every.
thing that is to be found on a going.
working farm. He conceived the
idea of selling farms IS just that-a
going concern.
Several Of his fathers neighbors,
who were getting old, had beer
trying to sell their farms so they
could retire. But they could find
no buyers, though they had offered
their farms for sale at prices which
young Strout knew were far below
their real value. SO young Strout
made this proposition to them: -If
you will pay me a commission on
the selling price Of your farm. I
will find a buyer for you Then.
