], N. c. A. CIRCUS
HERE MAY 5-6
"Bub" and "vat," Famous
Clowns, Will Appear Again
--21 Big Acts

The Barnone G. Bailem manage
ment is pleased TO that II
has just closed a contract with 'Bub
and VAL" Perth Amboy's most pop
ular clowns. to again appear with
their big circus at the Y. NJ. G. A.
on Friday and Saturday of next
week. Owing to the ability Of this
pair to entertain and drive away
all forms of blues" the announce
uient of their return TO the ~" big
top will be welcomed by hundreds
who have been amused by their an
tics in the past.
Although both of these men, Bu5
Jensen and Val Afflerbach, have
moved from the city, they nave
hosts of friends here and are always
willing to %reappear year after year
In the B. & b. circus. the big annual
event in the annals of the local Y.
NJ. c. A. Always original in their
acts, this combination Is destined
to win added laurels and plaudits
upon their appearance this year.
Upon their shoulders will fall the
task Of furnishing a large part of
ia ~ Ia ~
tors feel that in making sure of their
appearance the success of the COM
edy part of the show at least Is as
sured, for what is a circus without
plenty of laughs?
There will be other clown and
comedy acts presented by those who
have appeared at former ~" cir
cuses in similar roles, included in
this number being Winfield wink
Scott, Bill Hoy, Louis "Pox" Booz
and Ell johnson. Scott and Hoy
will work together this year while
Booz and Johnson will appear with
irving j. Reimers, Russell Larcombe.
u. Clarence Lewis and Donald Pew.
With the comedy part of the pro-
gram well taken care of, the more
serious and difficult part of the pro-
gram is found to include practically
Ill of those who have been respon-
sible for brilliant exhibitions in the
past. The "Y" athletes have been
at work for months drilling and
p~racticing their stunts for the circus
and the crack Bedford gym team of
.Brooklyn has been secured for Sat
kirday nights performance. !.
Y The show will not be without the
feminine touch as the girls have
been preparing two acts under the
leadership of Miss Margaret f.
Richart. the physical instructor OF
the women's division. Their re-
IiearsaIs are being held behind clos
ed doors and as q result little can
be learned of the nature of their
offerings. However the girls are
showing a great interest in the cir
Gus and they can be depended upon
to put across numbers capable or
making a hit.
For the first time in the history
OF the Barnone & Bailem circus
there will be a real thriller. This
win be presented by George ellis
on the high trapeze. the climax of
his act being a chair balancing act
on the high bar. ellis. in years
past, has appeared with other sem
for gymnasts of the local association
IN feats of strength but this will be
the first time an act of this kind
has been attempted.
Under the watchful eye of Physi-

have been working UP their acts
and they are now putting the finish
ing touches to all of their drills.
Rehearsals will be speeded up
from now until the day of the cir
Gus, which is only one week and a
half away. Tickets have been on
sale for several weeks and three
more record breaking a~ttendances
are anticipated. The night shows

In Pennsylvania, Michigan certified
seed potatoes grown on 81 ferns in
Butler County outyielded home grown
seed stocks by 1913 per cent. Two
thousand acres planted in Michigan
seed in various parts Of the same
state showed increase Of 30 per cent
over the average homegrown seed.
Reports from Ohio and Delaware
show similar results. six growers in
the Buckeye state averaged an in
crease Of us bushels to the acre with
Michigan seed while demonstrations
in Maryland brought 1875 bushels to
the acre of increase.
Even in Michigan, the certified
seed, produced by members Of the
Potato Producers Association under
inspection service by NJ. A. c. special
lists, has resulted in greatly increased
per acre production. Twenty-Five
state growers, according to Moore,
report yields which average an in
crease Of 1913 bushels.
Another report from Ohio comes
from the Ohio State University news
service: Having bought car and 4
half of Michigan seed potatoes last
year, 80 members Of the Morrow Co.
(Ohio) farm bureau decided to check
up to sec if it had paid them.-The
first seven farmers to report give an
average yield Of 142 bushels to the
scre for the Michigan seed, compared
with 102 bushels for homegrown
seed. Ninety per cent Of the Mich
igan-seeded crop and ca per cent Of
the crop from Ohio seed we're saIable

be to the advantage Of both miners
and operators to close the mines for
a time. The difficulties which
brought on the strike last year have
not been settled. There is serious
danger Of another strike in the soft
coal fields.
Everybody is worrying about the
political situation. There is talk Of
radical legislaticn during the coming
year Most of this is merely the echo
from campaign speeches. Il may be
a noisy year. Both the Conserva-
tives and the Radicals have veto
power, but neither is strong enough
10 push thru any extreme measures
Of its own. The only kind Of iogis-
lation that will really be enacted is
that which will appeal 10 members
Of both groups Already the Fed
eral Reserve Board has issued a rul-
ing, admitting a large amount Of
agricultural paper for rediscount in
Federal Reserve Banks. The Mus
Gle Shoals problem will probably be
settled, either by sale to Henry Ford

tirely too early TO bc worried The
thing to watch is fundamental con
diticns. We are Still IN readjust-
ment period. This msans that sooner

stocks are much higher than year

State NOU Raises
OlCn Alfalfa Seed

With the production of dozen car
loads of ,lfalfa seed during the past
season, Monroe County has taken
rank as one of the leading alfalfa
seed producing counties of the coun-
try, according to Prof. j. F. Cox, head
Of the farm crops department at the
Michigan Agricultural College, who
has Just completed survey of seed
production in this section of the state.
Demand for hardy, adapted strains
Of alfalfa for planting in the state
makes the Monroe County source of
more thar 5000 bushels Of home
grown seed Of importance to Michi-
gan farmers generally, and points to
development of the alfalfa seed pro-
ducing industry in the state.
"As moro is understood of alfalfa
seed production in Michigan" says
Professor Cox, ait is likely that this
industry will increase. When the
site produces a large percentage of
her own seed, the alfalfa crop will be
on a much safer basis. The achieve
ment of the Monroe County farmers
this year indicates the possibilities
along this line"
The seed being produced in this
roction practically all traces back to
an original strain grown by Clement
re Beau more than 81 years ago. For
three years the farmers Of the county,
have been producing seed in consid-
cradle quantities for commercial sale,
and the favorable 1921 market result
cd in a very large crop this season.
Much of the seed will be available
for Michigan farmers, the State
Farm Bureau Seed Department and
several large Michigan seed COM
panies having secured several thou
sand bushels for distribution in the
state.

sand today. In between, there may
be further rally from the low of
1922, and agricultural products GER
tainly should do better"
Earnings Will Be Higher
Earnings, continued Mr.. Babson,
Should average somewhat better
tkan in the year just passed. A sur
vey Of 100 leading industrial COM
pa,ics, recently made by my Organi-
zation, showed that in 1919, 9Sfo Of
these companies made a net profit,
while crly 4cs showed a deficit. In
1921, thc number OF firms which
could show a profit was cut down
TO 1870 Over half, or 52ft of these
Industrial concerns lost money on
their years business. 1922 has wit
res cd . change from red ink figures
into black ink figures, but the
2mount Of net profits will not be
large when the books are finally bal
anced W. are just getting back on
. the right side Of the ledger.
The shortage of labor is one Of the
worst features of the 1923 outlooks.
The moment that business works up
. average a,.ivity l.. becomes impos-
sibie to get sufficient worker This
rsieos costs and in turn increases
commodity prices and the cost Of lv-
ng. The immigration law is largely
tho cause Of this shortage. This law
stricts the number CT Immigrants
II a single year 10 3ec Of the total
number Of respective nationalities
already in the United States. Before
le war we had an addition of mil
ION immigrants a year. Now we are
r, Giving less than 100000 and at
east 60ft of these are women, chill
lr,n or ether dependents. On the
ether hand, | doubt if thu repeal Of
thi- 3ct immigration Law is the pro
per solution of the present labor
shortage.
The real solution IS not the repeal
Ct the present immigration law, but
rather the repeal of the Contract La
bcr Law for as long period as the
Sc, law remains in iorce. This would
make is possible for employers to
premise selected foreign workers en-
rloyment before leaving their own
hcmes Tbs moment that the i'm
migration law is repealed the Con-
tract Labor Law can again be appli-
ed.
There should be TO great difficult
ty in getting ample supplies of BIZ
luminous coal this winter. The car
shortage is diminishing somewhat.
Annie supplies Of btuminous coal
are being produced, suggesting lower
prices. The mischief of this situa-
ton lies in the fact that it will again

LONG SWING BOND CYCLE

Money conditions should continue
good There is no question that the
banks are in strong position. The
Federal Reserve Banks today have
reserves equal to about 1870 Of their
note and deposit liabilities. The re-
serve required is between $3.50 and
40Tt. 1t is true, that when foreign
countries begin to get on their feet,
it will be necessary to send much of
this gold back. For the present,
however, this gold represents the
basis on which a considerable expan-
sion of credit can be built. IL guar
antees to us relatively easy money
rate, until heavy gold exports are re-
aUmod. During the coming year, bor-
rowers need have little fear of a lack
Of funds for all legitimate purposes,
and this also applies to long-term
mercy, that is, capital for permanent
investment Mortgage rates during
1923 should work lower. Today, the
average rate of real estate mortgages
thruout the United States is between
So, and zfc. The time is not far away
when this average will stand between
81 and Gft.
'Cf course, the ease Of the money
market is distinctly favorable to
longtime bonds. There is point
~ thc business cycle when industry
becomes so active that money is alb
scrbed by trade. When this occurs
bonds are sold and develop down
ward tendency. This point in the cy-
Gle has not yet appeared. Moreover,
history shows that following the Civil
Var bond prices, barring temporary
cctuations, rose for long period of
years, the advance eliminating about
1900. From this point, a descent
w2s gradually made to low point at
the end of the European War. Since
this low point, history is repeating
itself, bonds having reached middle
ground, but still far below the $3.50
or e, Easis Of the 1900 period. All
these factors suggest that well Sc
lectod bonds, both municipal and cor
poraton arc a distinct purchase.
Bonds and money concluded Mr..
Babson, ARE certainly sound factors
in the situation AS for business as
a whole, there is no doubt thats it
viii average better this coming year
than it did in 1922 This does not
near that there will be any boom,
bat that there will be plenty of mon
ey-making opportunities for those
who know fundamental conditions"
s. - g
General business according to the
index Of the Babson chart stands at
only , below normal, the same as
a week ago.
