.if'' it is turned over TO Henry Ford
and the Detroit magician is given an
opportunity to demonstrate the won
ders he can perform.
Naturally the spirit Of speculation is
rampant and land values are soaring.
Florence, the small town near the base
of the Wilson dam. is regarded by its
people as d potential metropolis Of any
where from 100. 600 to 100000 inhab-
itants. Business property is being
sold or being held at from 500 to
ST. 900 a front foot, and subdivisions
are being plotted and lots sold at prices
many times the average values Of a
few years ago. The same story may
be told of Sheffield and Tuscumbia.
The spirit of the Muscle Shoals
people is dnquestionably for Ford, ac-
cording to a recent report from there.
on Henry Ford, whom they regard as
the Midas of Industry. the man whose
touch means gold. They believe that
if his offer for Muscle Shoals is ac-
cepted money will flow into their cof-
fers with the speed of water rushing
through the sluiceways of the colossal
dam.
''They have tables made out showing
the thousands Ford will bring for this
and will come for that, ct cetera. May
be that's why Henry Ford's picture has
replaced that of Rodolph Valentino and
General Pershing il the hotels and
barber shops thereebouts. If he doesn't
get it there will be many disappointed
brides and grooms and many picanin-
MES named III vain" I'd
This was said by way OF comment
Ion the statement that the enthusiasts
; down there are making all their plans
and dates contingent upon II or when
Ford shall become the arbiter of their
destinies. 1t is even reported that
one man who was suffering from a
bad appendix had promised himself and
his family that he would go to a hos
pital and have his operation just as
soon as the government turned Muscle
Shoals over to Ford.
Observers in Washington will incline
to the belief that it will be a long time
before that man gets rid of his offend
ing appendix if he adheres to that de-
termination. The opposition in con
gress to the Ford proposal has always
been formidable and it has not been
lessened by the increasing evidence
that Ford has presidential aspirations
and will shy his hat into the ring in
1924, and there is little disposition
here to do anything that might boost
his political game.
However. it Is just possible that the
counter idea might obtain-that the
best way to keep Ford out of politics
would be to give him an industrial con-
tract or job that would require all his
time and attention. As has been said,
figuring on Ford and Muscle Shoals is
highly speculative.

EGYPT N THE SUDAN

IESSIM PASHA, head of the
~ new Egyptian cabinet, begins
we'll by making no promises, says
the New York Times. His reason
is that Egypt is all cluttered up
with the unfulfilled promises OF
past cabinets; he doesn't want to
add to the accumulation. Never
| theless, there hangs over Nessim
NOT a promise, but an obligation,
which he cannot ignore.
The previous cabinet fell be-
Il of an insoluble conflict be-
tween Egyptian and British inter
ests. The new constitution which
! Egypt is drawing up, and which IS
to complete the Kingdoms lnde-
pendence, depends on agreement
with England. Egypt can pc IN
! dependent if it is Independent IN
| Eng1and's way. This may seem an
unfair presentation of the case,
since in the main the British pro-
gram represents about as sat'stac-
tory a reconciliation between
Egyptian and foreign interests as
is possible. However, the aspect
which it wears in Egyptian eyes i
that mentioned ~above-that Egypt
! may be just as independent as Eng
land permits, and no more.
The Egyptians wish to put a pro
vision in the constitution declaring
that the Sudan-what is now call
cd the Anglo-Egyptian sudan-ls
an integral part of Egypt and the
king of Egypt is its sovereign. Ac'
cording to the original British plar
for the restoration Of Egyptian IN
dependence, this was one OF tht
subjects reserved for later nego'
tiatior. The Egyptians are a little
uneasy about their chance III sucf
dealings, it seems; they want the
Sudan now. However, this re
served subject" has undergone
certain change. Last March Lore
Allenby made a tour of inspection
through the Sudan. At Khartum
bv wav of comment on editorial:
in the Egyptian press, he said in +;
public speech that the Sudan was
a country entirely different from
Egypt, and that England woule
never abandon the Sudan. Thu:
the Egyptians took as prejudiclns
the reservation" Of the Sudanes'
question; but it appears from dis
patches that now they desire to OK
away with the reservation by get
ting the Sudan themselves.
Moderate cabinets which are try
ing to make the best possible com
promise with England seem to fin
it impossible to hold office IN tn
face Of overwhelming popular feel
ing. This is ineligible but no
wholly intelligent. Allenby saie
that England would never abando'
the Sudan-meaning, apparently
to Egypt; but a situation nigh
arise in which England, Disguised

HOW Is
THE TURK?

THERE comes from Constantin-
l. ople, from Thrace, from
Athens, and from various sources
in Asia Minor narrowing tales OF
the barbarisrn of the 'unspeakable
Turk" of the cruelties Of the ven
geful Greek, of the suffering of the
peaceful Christian, says the Chlca-
60 Tribune. Then there come re-
ports of the centuries of propagan-
da which have been directed
against the Turk and evidence that
he is an honorable warrior, a pat
riot. and a seeker after freedom
and justice. Or perhaps the mes
sages brands the so-called innocent
Christians as Christians in name
only, using the title as a mask be-
hind which they ~perpetrate all
manner of political and social
crimes and outrages.
In such a tumble of propaganda
ard fact the only intelligent course
is to accept the word Of those
whom we have reason to believe
the most truthful and less biased
by sentiment or tradition. Form
ing cur opinions as honestly as we
may in that manner, we have re-
Gently been inclined to the opinion
that the Turk, while perhaps not a
gentlemen we would care to invite
indiscriminately into our homes, IS
not quite so bad as he has been
painted. Like most human beings,
be has some good characteristics
and is somewhat misunderstood.
In the face of that decision we
now read that Turkish police have
prevented or attempted to prevent
the embarkation Of refugees from
Constantinople and from the Black
sea coast of Asia Minor. Under
the armed pressure Of allied forces
they have permitted such depart
ures for a limited time, but with
the reservation that all who do not
thus depart shall be removed into
the interior Of the country, to what
end we are not informed.
IF that is a true report Of the sti-
uation 1t looks extremely bad fol-
the Turk. We can understand why
IL Armenia is to Turkey what Ire
land has been to Great Britain, the
Turks might wish the removal o.
all Arrnenians. We can under.

FARMER MUST HAVE

TO sUcCEED--DAV|s
Commissioner Of Agriculture
Asserts He Must Know as
Much as Buyer
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Billings. Dec. 14-tarmers Of Mon
tana were told today that they must
be altogether up-to-datt in their crop
and market knowledge 10 succeed. IN
a talk which Chester u. Davis. state
commissioner of agriculture. gave 10
he Cooperative Juion convention
here.
To be a better hargainer. the
farmer must have q better knowledge
OF marketing Conditions he said.
He must have the same knowledge
OF these conditions as the buyer has
he continued, OTHERWISE he cannot
compete with the buyer Tor the most
profitable price. He must study the
condition of the crops, not only IN his
own district. but in all districts all
over the United States, and he must
have a knowledge of the foreign CON
ditlons which affect the local marker,
before he can become u truly effl-
Gent ~bargainer.'
Freight Problem Hard
Commissioner Davis said the pres
ent situation with regard TO freight
rates, a dominating factor in Montana
marketing. was as though a farmer
had located 1000 miles from mar
ket and then woke to find h forces
entirely beyond his control had
pushed the market 1900 miles away
from the point where his crop values
were regulated. The obvious thing to
do in this situation, he said, IS to
produce and sell crops which can be
shipped for a lesser share of their
value.
That means he said, first. the
production of that for which the local
demand exceeds the present supply.
or that for which there is a con
siderable market near at hand now
supplied by shipments from points
more distant than Montana: and sec
ond, the production and sale or com
modities having highly concentrated
value. of which freight takes the
smallest possible share of the final
selling price. Mainly these are sec
ondary products secured by feeding or
manufacturing crops grown on the
land.
FaVors Hog Raising
"One outstanding example OF the
first form of desired production is
uork growing. Information collected
by the department Oh 8EtlCiltuat on
three markets. Portland, Spokane and
Great Falls, shows that in the year
1921, the number of head of live
hogs shipped through Montana from
South Dakota and Nebraska TO Port
land and Spokane. including l6.oou
head shipped into Montana from these
states for slaughter at Great Falls;
was 212.000. The cost OF freight paid
IN these shipments was Approximately
double what the same shipments from
Montana points would have been.
The second form of production is
illustrated by the following table,
showing the toll or percentage which
freight takes of the final selling price
at terminal. of crops sold in their
original form compared with the same
information concerning commodities OF
greater concentration of value The
following table is figured on the basis
of freight from Great Fails to Chi
cage, which would vary very little
from the rate from Billings TO Chi
cago. Wheat is figured from Great
Falls to Minneapolis.
