Robbing Farmers
Of Many Dollars
,By Associated PresMl

Chicago, Dec. 27.-American far
mers are loosing approximately $50,
100000 a year on their oats crop
and probably a like amount on their
hay crops through the use of auto
mobiles, motor trucks and tractors
which have largely supplanted the
use of horses in the cities, according
to- Robert McDougal, president of the
Chicago Board of Trade in analyz-
ing the effect of motorized hauling
on the horse and grain market. Mr..
McDougal believes, however, The pen
dulum is swinging the other way,
pointing out that the prices on good
draft horses are advancing.
in 1910, there were 100000
horses in theicties," said Mr.. Nc
Dougal, while in 1920 there was a
triffle more than half that number.
Most city horses are fed upon oats
and hay. Oats prices recently
averaged 81 cents below wheat.
This is a loss of three cents BUSH
el, which based upon an average
crop of one billion bushels nets the
farmer a tidy loss.
There is no dougt the big power
tractor has reached the saturattion
point In many farming sections
high powered tractors were bought
by small sized farmers, 1t was a
disastrous venture for many. In the
cities, many businesses turned their
backs upon the horse for short hauls
with frequent stops. Today the far
mer is feeding a yard of colts and
the horse is coming mao his own for
short hauls.
'"The horse will never come back
to his old place in the city, but he
is going to be sure of an important
place in moving several varieties of
commodities"

AMERICAN LEGION PICKS
WORLDS FINEST COOKY

The National Cooky has been chos
en- from four hundred recipes that
have been flooding National Head
quarters of the American eLgion
Auxiliary during the past two
months. The credit for the cooky
selected to fill the ars established in
the government hospitals through
out the country goes to Mrs. Freder-
lex Gehlman, of Springfield, Illinois.
Although no prize was offered in
this unique contest, recipes poured
in from France, Alaska, Canada, Gu
ba and Hawaii as well as from every
state in the Union. There were re-
cipes which produced cookies that
George Washington ate in 1776,
others which cdlaimed to be favor
ties of Abraham Lincoln, and ever
so many which treasured as family
heirlooms. From all these, the Gehl
man cookie emerged supreme. Here
it is:
8 cups of flour:
2 cups sugar:
/ teaspoon soda:
2 teaspoons baking powder:
cups rolled oats (ground):
l cup raisins (cut with scissors):
l cup lard or butter:

that II suffices TO interlace our prayer

evening publications of Budapest. in
Guiding Az Est, the Pesti Naplo, and
the Magyarorszag. Furthermore 1t
states that there are but few news
papers Of any consequence In the
Hungarian capital which are not
owned w Shines" The explanation
given Of his wholesale buying of news
papers Is that SHINES intends to re.
allze the dreams Of Professor Naumunn
who visioned consolidated Central
Europe, including Poland and Belgi-
nm. which should be created by mill
tary means. But SHINES, 1t is said,
aims to reach the same goal through
economic domination, His purpose Is
to secure first economic resources and
then press organs In the various cOun-
tries bordering on Germany, in order
that he may spread German political
influence. AS far as industrial pos
sessions are concerned II Is asserted
that he Is well along his way. He left
the Hamburg American line, where he
was one of the directors and took u
dictatorship In the Norddeutscher
Lloyd. of which he Is the principal
stakeholder. He owns the majority
Of the Air Route lines In Germany and
Scandinavia, and he Is now engaged
in establishing others In Austria.
Danube navigation In Germany and
Austria. as well as In Hungary and
Roumania, Is In his hands. He Is In
terested financially In the Austrian
Daimler factory and the famous SkOda
works, and he owns the Elbemuhl
paper mills. Finally, with these mills,
the Elbemuhl newspapers, as well as
the Vienna Allegemeine Zeitung and
the Der Neue Tag, two daily papers,
came into his possession.
These are but very small part
Of the assets SHINES Is in control of,
says The Kassal Hirlap, and lust be-
cause Of his extensive interests In al
most every part Of Europe, the domi-
mating influence of his newspapers in
foreign countries is the more danger
Gus. TO allow string Of newspapers
to he controlled and directed politl-
cally by foreign interests Is just as
dangerous as to allow political legls-
lators to come under the dictation of
foreigners"
SHINES was born at Mulheim. in the
Rhlneland, in 1870. The report that
he is Jew Is not true. He inherited
coal mines. Today he controls 60
mines. Berlin bankers estimate that
he is the richest individual in Ger
many.
The hand of SHINES, 1t is charged,
demolished the industries of northern
France. The coal mines were particu-
lar objects Of destruction. All told,
900 mining operations were rendered
useless. They were flooded, dyna-
mited, filed with waste materials or
set on fire. Their rehabilitation has
been especially difficult and slow. The
French estimate that these mines can
not be brought up to pre-war produc-
ton before 1890. In other important
industries of the invaded district the
degree Of destruction ranged from 90
to 100 per cent. For example, the
