CAR SALES TO THE
FARMER RESTS ON
COMING CORN CROP
Getting the Crop to Market
Now Problem of Farmer;
Strike Costly.

ST. LOUIS. July 2s.-Automobile
sales to farmers in the fall months
depends now absolutely upon the
perfection Of the corn crop which Is
everywhere in splendid condition az
this time and upon the settlement OF
the Industrial situation. according to
G. A. Vane. general manager Of the
National Automobile Dealers associ-
alton, who has just completed a 500
mile motor trip through the farm
sections Of Missouri and Illinois talk
/ ing with farmers. automobile dealers
and country bankers.
| Wheat generally has netted splen-
/ did yields, but the problem confront
ing the farmer now Is getting this
crop into the market and turning Il
into cash. Curtailed train service
due 10 the shipments strike has al
ready resulted In q serious crippllng
OF shipping facilities and II the
strike grows worse there viii be loss
OF millions OF bushels Of grain be-
cause OF the poor storage facilities
generally existing on the farms.
Another phase Of the strike situa-
ton which Is causing considerable
worrQ Is the possibility OF holding
up for months, probably until 1928,
the liquidation process that is now
going on. Country banks have been
carrying farmers for months and
have anticipated that this crop re-
turn would see the slate wiped clean
Of most OF this Indebtedness. The
bankers are recalling what happen
| ed to numerous country banks in the
fall Of 1920 and the spring of 1921
when many such institutions were
forced to close their doors because
of frozen credits. The security, now
as then, was OF the finest but the
lmpossibility Of realizing cash on the
debt sent many a bank down.
The bankers in the small towns
are quite generally amazed at the
phenomenal comeback" of the au-
to1nobile industry in 1922. To date
OF July 90 the register Of the secre-
tary of states office in Illinois show
ed 712.734 motor vehicles registered
as against a total of 670,452 for the
whole year 1921 and against 612.566
motor vehicles registered between
Jan. / and July 20, 1921, more than
100000 increase in the period.
Dealers quite general reported a
Ioosening up Of the credit situation
So far as their own needs are con-
cerned the dealers are not much
troubled because they are short OF
deliveries. That always makes for
better terms IN the sale and their
own resources have been enough
quite generally without extensive
borrowing. Many of them are han
ding their time payment sales. 9th
ers are developing finance corpora
ton connections. Occasionally
| dealer is able TO slip notes into the
home town bank for collection from
the car buyer.
Numbers of farmers are prospects
who never have been considered so
before by the dealers. Three times
in one week in little town Of 5000
people in Illinois, farmers came into
a Dodge Brothers dealers establish
ment and counted out the price Of

car in FIVE. ten and twenty dollar
bills The dealer had never before
considered these men prospects.
The coal strike is having its effect
in the mining region. A Buick deal
er in a town Of about 5000 with a
1O-car contract had delivered eight
cars up to the time of the calling Of
the coal strike. April 80. He inform
ed me that he was set for % deliver
les this year until that happened.
The strike wiped out a payroll of
100000 a month in his town. Unless
they settle the strike pretty soon he
said, he will be lucky TO get his
other two cars over.
A motor trip through Illinois i'm
presses one as a train trip never can
of the vast resources Of the agricul-
tural sections Of this country. Splen-
did highways, concrete and oil, great
farms, substantial farm houses, mod
ernly equipped, attest the. solidarity
of the wealth Of the country based
on its land. From the automobile
mans viewpoint. the highway situa-
ton is an interesting one. In those
sections served by hard roads II IL
safe TO predict that the average
value Of the average automobile Is
at least $3.50 more than the average
value OF the average automobile for
the state at large. AS the roads de-
velop the price cost Of the car goes
up. and the cheap car goes further
into the interior in its pioneering. II
the automobile industry wants to
find the answer 10 the saturation
point question, 1t can checkmake the
bugaboo with new hard
roads.

TO MAKE STEADY WORK.

Unemployment, u to seasonal
failures declared the Federation of
Labor convention, "can be minimized
by deliberate planning to adjust
seasonal work in such a way as to
afford full time employment for as
many as possible"
There can be no doubt about it,
A great deal more could be done
to remedy the evils of seasonal en-
ployment than has ever yet been
done, and the more there is accom-
plished along this line the less labor
trouble there will be, not to mention
the incidental benefits to society as
a whole by keeping workers con
tinuously employed,
The industries in which there are
most labor troubles are, for the most
part, the industries that are seasonal
in their nature-in which periods
of employment alternate with long
ana impoverishing periods of idle
ness. The coal and building indus
tries are good examples of this.
1t must be recognized. however,
that the situation cannot be rem
edied wholly by the seasonal indus
tries in themselves. There are some
lines of work which can never, from
their nature. be continued through
out the year. The solution in such
cases lies in a combination of trades
that will fit into each other, one be-
ing taken up as the other is discon-
tinued.
This requires the exercise of or
ganizing brains broader than those
OF any particular industry. 1t also
requires a Willingness on the part
OF workmen themselves in the sea
sonai occupations to learn and do
more than one kind of work. Until

Washington, July 5.-Passage of
permanent restrictive immigration
legislation is on the program for
next winters session of ongress.
Representative Johnson, Washington,
chairman of the House Committee on
immigration, believes that the Unit
ed States never will return to the
wide-open door policy prevailing
before the passage of the present
temporary three per cent restrictive
law. At next winters session he ex-
poets to press a bill, which he intro
duced before adjournment of the
House, revising the present law SO
as to give all countries a base quota
of GOO plus two per cent of the
number of aliens from that Darticu-
lar country in the United States as
shown by the census of 1910. His
bill also contains other new features,
including a requirement that aliens
coming into the United States shall
obtain a certificate Of admission
from an American consul.
Restriction is Difficult.
MANY persons wonder why the
percentage law has not been tight
ened up and made more binding
said Mr.. Johnson. "Some ask why
Congress has not enacted a law sus-
pending immigration for a period
of years. Let me remind all these

a law even as restrictive as the

PUNISHMENT FOR MURDER

Settlement Of the coal strike,
necessary and desirable as 1t IS, IS
not by any means the sole duty
faced BY the government and the
public in connection with the coal
situation. Not one whit less impor-
tant-possibly more important, as
far as the future welfare OF the
United States is concerned-ls tne
restoration of the reign OF law IN
the coal fields. And the first II
biggest step in this direction IS the
arraignment of those who committed
the recent mob murders in Will
hanson County, Ill. Settlement OF
an Industrial tie-up is little more
than a matter Of sensible business
negotiation. Punishment for fla
grant crime goes to the roots OF
government and business. Crimes of
violence represent the worst phase
az labor troubles and afford ground
for the most shameful accusations
that foreign nations are accustom-
ed to make against this country.
For the national honor as well as
FOR the better conduct of Ameri-
can industrial affairs and the cul-
tivation OF a greater respect for law
and order in general, it Is imperi-
tive that the men who planned and
executed those brutal murdrs at
Herrin should 0 be permitted to
.'get away with it,
Some provocation they had, be-
You'd a doubt-the slow starvation
Of miners families, the usurpation
OF their means of livelihood by
outsiders and a measure of direct
inciuement to violence. But all of
this together does not justify or
excuse the outrageous massacre
which has disgraced Williamson
county and shamed the nation.
And inasmuch as the local authori-
ties show nc disposition to wipe out
the stain, it remains for the state
or federal governmnt to .ake APP
propriate action.

BATTLEsHIps OF THE FUTURE

The United States government IS
going to build two types of ex.
perimental air plane, one the largest
ever built in this country and the
other the smallest ever built any
where. The large IN is a super
bomber capable of carrying four
tons of explosives in addition to its
crew and defensive armament. 1t
could carry SO passengers, as far as
weight is concerned, or it could a +
rv IA of the little planes. Grated.
The latter viii! weigh only $50
pounds apiece. and are intended
for naval use. They will be carried
by ~destroyers, for scouting. One of
them could almost be housed in an
automobile garage.
What the big craft means in
modern warfare may be imagined
from the fact that, expensive as it
may appear to be, 200 such bombers
can be built for the cost of one
superdreadnought, and an air fleet
of that size and power could carry
500 tons of bombs-enough to sink
all the navies of the world, the ex-
perts say. The bombers are intended
for the coast defense, and have an
effective radius of 400 miles or more
with a full cargo of explosives.

cal substitute for the battleships
