THE REFEREE
Prices

Jim Patten. the wheat king, is asked
TO explain why the farmers buying
power is a fourth less than before the
war. Patterns explanation is that in
dustrial wages are fixed artific.ally
ly by natural competition.
You have always been told by eco
nomists that wheat is the barometer
or regulator OF general prices. Some
thing has gone wrong with that system.
There is new price regulator. II is

YOUR VALUABLES

Are you thinking OF buying the
Russian crown jewels, including
the famous Orloff diamondf They
are offered for sale by the Bolshe-
viks.'
The price? A trifling S5OO,OOO,-
900.
The whole caboodle Of them,
priced out of their golden crowns
and scepters, could be carried in
your suitcase.
AS far as being useful, the Rus
sian crown jewels are about as
valuable as a peck OF broken
glass.
Their value is entirely imaginary
no more, no less than the ina
gination OF man makes it.
Queer thing is value. Ford Mo-
tor Company's latest statement
shows that its assets exceed S4OO,-
100000.
Of this, $Sl, ,026,633 is invested in
real estate, the only imperishable
form Of material wealth.
Patents are listed at value OF
only $1,000.
The company's goodwill is en-
tered as worth nearly S2l 100000.
This goodwill is intangible. No
eye can see it. No scales can
weight it.
Equally intangible is the Ford
Motor Company's greatest value
the brain OF Henry Ford. Or, to
be absolutely accurate, his intel
lect.
Accumulation OF values seems to
be national mania. There are
fixed values such as gold, whose
price is set by law. There are SEN
timental values-heirlooms, remem-
brances, etc.
Value is the most exclusive thing
on earth. 1t is the magician OF
economics.
You think you have obtained a
small value. Suddenly ii swells TO
enormous size. This is increasing
value. Henry Ford fell into its
embrace and from q poor bicycle
repairman became one OF the three
richest Americans.
In the far corner are declining
values-ones that are deceptive,
look substantial and permanent at
first, then shrink, Ask Wall
Street plungers who have beer
caught in bear markets.
Value skips about like a flea
Big fortune comes to the man whC
can guess where it will jump next
Typical OF this is real estate.
Values are the poker chips o.
uncertainty.
And, OF all values, the only one
that have permanenee approaching
the perpetual are knowledge, fam
and good deeds. These are tn
real wealth. No man is reall,
poor who has created any OF tn
three.

Because but phantoms then
And with new vigor lowered

A hoy with lips a.pucker
And heart that knew no care,
He brought me aid and succor
When i was In despair
What tune his lips were Shilling

Felt all my spirit filling
With hope and courage high.
oh, there are fugues that thunder
And symphonies that glow
With glory and with wonder.
But when my heart is low,
When all Life's paths are bristling
With woes too great to meet
Give me small boy whisting,

DEVELOP NEW GAME ON
MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS

Banks have receivd warning from
the Illinois association to be on the
lookout for solicitors of magazine
subscriptions. The solicitors, accord
ing to the message sent out, make out
orders and at the same time make
duplicates which are in the form of
checks. This, however, is unknown to
the purchaser, who is told that he
pays the subscription price through

a blank check and after they have the

Clemments Siedler, aged "a, en-

factory, four miles northeast of Dill,
drowned in the Pecatonica river at
the big bridge near Dill late Sunday
afternoon. Siedler and four other
young men from the Dill factory left
the factory at about four o'clock to
take a swim. Siedler was the first in
the water. His face appeared to be
distressed as if he was in trouble. His
companions jumped into the water
and they succeeded in getting him to
shore, but he did not show signs of
life. The water where the young man
drowned was only about five feet deep
and not over his head. It is presumed
that he was stricken with cramps.

that President Irigoyen is planning
to keep himself in power by post
poning the national elections, which
would otherwise be held on April 2,
are made by leaders of the opposi-

but President Irigoyen's opponents
allege that he intends to evade it
by delaying the election by some
manufactured excuse.
They see proof Of their charges in
the fact that the Radical party which
now controls the government has
failed to announce date for it's con-
