THE cHAMBERED NAUTILUS

WOOL TARIFF WILL NOT

Statements indicating that the
proposed wool duties as recommen-
ded by the Senate Finance Com
mittee will raise the cost of a
suit of clothes four to five dollars
are branded as statements issued
without basis of fact by J. f. Wal

states that the proposed tariff is
actually lower than the emergency
tariff that has been in force over
a year.
"The propo ed tariff levies Il Guty
of 33 cents per pound on secured

NEW IN
CHAUTAUQUA LINE

The town of Centervile, in thit
state, has recently given Other
towns something that they might
we'll consider. The people of thai
town recently staged a seven-dal
chautaupua. all home talent, and
it is said to have been a social and
financial success. Various club
and lodges of the town, and the
church organizations furnished the
talent and the program was in all
respects similar to the usual chau-
tauqua, except that great deal Of
time was not taken up by a plat
form manager pleading for signers
for the next seasons chautanpa a
and the further fact that the mo-
ney usually spent for talent re-
mained at home and will be used
in civic improvement.
The chautauqua idea is a pecul-
lar institution. The idea is to fur
nlsh number of entertainment
features at certain price, to COM
munities that will guarantee the
company against loss. Supposing
the manager of the local moving
picture house would canvass the
town for signers to guarantee
him against loss in bringing plays
to the town. How far would they
get? And the average performance
taken one with another is much
better entertainment than the av
erage chautauqua number seen in
these western towns. And then
they have as much right to ask for
guarantee as a foreign corpora
tion which has existed largely be-
cause Of good-natured tolerance
which they appear.
The fact is the chautauqua is
not up to the standard Of years
ago. The talent is inferior. An
exchange says the newspapers are
partly responsible for maintain
ing these conditions because they
fail to criticize the various num-
bers on the ground that the chau-
tauqua is sort of community
institution. The Pioneer-Review
has taken this stand along with
the rest Of them, but the example
of Centerville has set us thinking.
Why could not Philip put on some
thing of this nature once each
year? We have talent here that is
far superior to anything we have
heard at any chautauqua program
in Philip.
The fact is that the average
permormer is usually I
the very cheapest amatuer. They
are rounded up in the big cities
and given a few days rehearsal
and sent out to entertain Cd the
people of the smaller towns at an
exhorbitant price, which is fully |
guaranteed beforehand. Very few
of the performers draw down
much of salary. They are select
ed by people who know just how
much they are worth and yoU may
be sure they are paid accordingly |
At Centerville the average chau-
tauqua of the regular kind, cost
about 500, all of which went out
of town. The home talent chau-
tauqua took in Sl100 and every
cent of it stayed in the home town.

RAISE CLOVER, MILK
COWS, AND PROSPER

The following letter from one of
our Conrath subscribers, breathes en-
enlargement to our dairy farmers. A
year ago when many farmers were
disposing of their cows, the News
Budget persistently encouraged them
to stay in the game and to raise clo-
YER, milk, good cows, and prosper.
NJ 0. Emmons, Farm Editor:
Here is an item that perhaps you
can. make use of in your farm depart
ment.
The Conrath Cooperative Dairy Co.
will hand out pay checks to it's pa
irons, Nov. 1. These checks are for
milk hauled from Oct. 1 to Is, 1922,
and delivered to the cheese factory.
The average price of cheese was 1856
cents; average test Al; and the price
Of butterfat 80 cents.
For the last half of September the
same company paid 40 cents for but
terfat with an average test of Al and
average price of cheese 21.6 cents.
These facts give an inI1ling of what
the farmer could accomplish and the
results to be had if they would only
stick to their cooperative organiza-
tons. 1t also goes to show that the
dairy cow is still the queen of Rusk
county
Yours truly,
B. C. FRENCH.

On four acres of his own land that

IN TIMES OF PLENTY
PREPARE FOR FAMINE

Henry Hanson who lives six miles
northwest of Ladysmith, spent the fall
in North Dakota, where he worked
with a threshing machine. He re-
ports a good crop of potatoes in that
state and the price is so low there
that it don't pay for the digging ex-
penses. One farmer he teld about
had 500 acres in potatoes. He OF
fcred to sell them in the ground for
three cents per bushel but sold no.
These people believe the <.eyo,.,
ment reports of a Big Greg Of pofatoe
to be true, SO they are not ufaking an,
effort to dig and store their cron fo
higher price.
Later the American people viii
| need all Of these potatoes. and befor,
| another harvest there is very apt t,
be but few potatoes available for ia
| BILE use
| We believe the overestimating O.
| the potato crop has done untold dam
age to the growers who are all bu
ruined, and to the consuming public
who will suffer later. Everyone ha:
the privilege of sizing up the situa
ton as they please and then "rol
their own" opinion.
1t is certainly that now, in times
of apparent plenty, there are not
enough preparations being made tc
divert famine for the future.

FERTILITY POINTERS

Guard well the fertility of the soil.
Glover and cows will keep the soil
fertile.
A dairy country grows a rich soil
while the grain belt soil deteriorates
year by year
Countries that formerly burned
straw piles and wasted manure now
have to buy fertilizer in order to pro-
duce a crop.
The common cow feeds the world
and makes as much fertility as the
good COW The good cows make the
profit, but there are not enough of
them.
There is fertilizer value in protein
feeds such as oil meal, cottonseed
meal, and tankage. This value is es-
timated as about half the cost Of the
feed. Save it all and make your
farm richer with what the other fell
low sells.
