ANOTHER FORD PHILANTHROPY"

Henry Ford's proposal for the pur'
chase and lease of Muscle Shoals
property and concessions from the
government is gradually becoming
clarified. If nothing else Of merit
can be found in the situation, that
is something worth waiting for.
Mr. Fords original offer was sub
mitted to the War department or
July 8, 1921, in response to a gen.
eral invitation from the government
for propositions. At that time it
was heralded by the Ford supporters
and not denied by Mr. Ford, as a
patriotic and largely philanthropic
proposal to relieve the government
of white elephant.
Most of the publicity attending
negotiations for the next few months
emphasized that point of view. 1t
was not mercenary, commercial
enterprise, but great project to re-
lieve the government, assist all the
farmers of the country and develop
the industrial possibilities of the
South.
But when prospects of the accept
ance of his original offer waned, Mr.
Ford on January II, 1922 modified
the proposal, making some conces-
sons and pledges to the advantage
of the government and the public.
Still the offer was not rushed
through to acceptance, and on JAN
uary Is Mr. Ford made still further
concessions, announcing at the same
time that these were the last. Again
acceptance was delayed. And now
we read of three uore concessions
and improvements in his proposal
authorized by Mr. Ford.
1t is rapidly becoming evident
that Mr. Ford wants Muscle Shoals.
The original camoufage of patriot
ism and philanthropy surrounding
the offer has been stripped away
Mr. ForRs anxiety to gain control
of this vast industrial asset reveals
his proposition for exactly what it
is-a shrewd attempt to make
hugely profitable commercial deal.
1t is important that that point has
been made clear. The proposition
can now be settled on its merits,
without sentimentalism, and let us
hope without politics.
If it is settled on it's merits Mr.
Ford may have something to regret,
but the people of the United States
will not.-New York Daily News.

DEMOCRACY STANDING STILL.

Cordell Hull, national Democratic
chairman, does not agree apparently
with James Cox, who lead the Demo-
cratic party to ignominious defeat in
1920. Mr. Cordell says the Demo-
cratic party of today "looks forward
and not backward. They keep pace
with every phase of our national
progress and with changing circum-
stances" On the other hand, Mr.
Cox declared scarcely two weeks ago
that I'VE stand just where we stood
at the close of the campaign in
November, 1920" You pay your
money and take your choice. We
rather incline to believe that Mr.
Cox is right.-Rockville (Ind.) Re-
publican.

BROWNTAIL MOTH TRYING TO
COME BACK.

The browntail moth is showing
signs of attempting Comeback
in southeastern New Hampshire,
probably owing to a temporary de-
crease in the number of parasites.
Here and there scattered browntail
webs appear according to the OBJ
servations by Prof w c OKane of
New Hampshire College; and these
should be cut Immediately by the
owners of the trees if they wish to
avoid trouble from the caterpillars.
This pest has been kept down sue
cessfully in the state since the wide
spread infestation several years ago,
through the spread of parasitic in
sects by the state entomologists. 1t
is hoped that its temperance does
not bode a second invasion ON the
previous scale,

PUTTING MONEY TO WORK.

The accelerated movement of grain
and live stock to market at the high
err prices has helped the farmers to
pay their debts, of some of them.
This has enabled the little banks to
pay their debts to the big banks, and
the big banks in turn to pay their
indebtedness to the federal reserve
banks. Every time the money changes
hands it pays a debt, and in the
process heavy decreases in obligations
occur. 1t serves to illustrate the
fact that the only money that is
worth anything is the money that
is moving, the money that is at work.

~BLUE SKY" BILL STOPS INTER
STATE TRAFFIC IN WILD CAT
SECURITIES.
Move to Assist States Protecting Pub
lie Against Crooked Investments.

The House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce committee has reported
favorably, by unanimous vote, bill
to prevent the use of the United
States mails and other agencies OF
interstate commerce for transport
ing securities sold contrary to laws
of the states and for promoting or
securing the sale of these securities
Briefly, it is a bill to prevent the
sale of "blue sky" and wildcat stocks.
1t is the first attempt of the federal
government to stop the sale of such
securities.
The author of the bill is Repre-
sentative Denison, of Illinois. Mr.
Denison and his colleagues have been
at work upon the measure for
months. Working with them have
been representatives of the states
which have "blue sky" laws and also
representatives of banking and fnan-
cial interests. The bill as drawn
and reported bears the approval of
all. parties interested.
1t became imperative, in order to
protect the public against swindlers
of the Ponzi type, to have federal
law operating against 'blue sky"
securities Evidence was adduced be-
fore the committee showing the
American people are annually robbed
of half billion dollars in gold
bricks, Wildcat mining and oil stocks
and other get-rich-quick schemes.
Although AZ states have "blue sky"
laws, the fact the federal govern
ment had none made it easy for those
interested in marketing these fake
securities to evade the laws of a
state by opening an Office in another
state and thereby becoming engaged
in interstate commerce, over which
the several states had no control. 1t
is to stop this evasion of state laws
and assist all states in protecting the
people against the many dishonest
schemes that the Denison bill has
been proposed.
Briefly, the bill makes it unlawful
for any person, corporation or COM
pany in any state or territory to use
the United States mails, telegraph,
telephone, express companies, rail-
road companies, or any other inter-
state commerce agency of trans
portation or communication, for the
purpose of selling or offering for
SALE or advertising or soliciting SUBJ
scriptions in any state for securities
of stock which, under the "blue sky"
laws of that state, are forbidden. 1t
also prohibits the use of any inter-
state transportation agency or the
mails for the transportation or deliv-
cry into any state of any stocks
which the "blue sky laws of that |
state forbid sold within the state.
The bill is patterned after the
Webb-Kenyon act, which, prior to
the federal prohibition amendment,
prohibited the shipment of liquors
from wet" states into states that
were "dry." The bill, if it becomes
a law, will not attempt to designate
what securities are outlawed and
what are not. 1t will merely assist
the several states in enforcing their
laws against "blue sky practises by
making it impossible for parties out
side Of state to do business within
that state through the medium of
the United States mails or any other
interstate medium of communication
Or transportation.

rOasters and hens, fortunate sltua-
ton since 1t permits the feeder to
adapt his ration to market conditions
by taking advantage Of special prices
Of certain feeds and also to use feeds
available locally. A growing bird,
such as a broiler or spring, requires
q different ration than q mature hen,
which changes most of her feed into
fat A simple ration of corn meal and
buttermilk is about as good as any for
hens. Broilers fed rations containing
protein concentrates, such as peanut
meal, coconut oil, soy-bean meal. or
meat scrap made appreciably better
gains than those fed on corn meal and
buttermlk. They grow rapidly and
need tissue-forming feeds. Springs
also respond readily to rations con-
tanning protein concentrates
Throughout the 14-day feeding pc
Rod broilers continued to gain well,
a feeding period Springs grew very
rapidly during the first II days, but
not so rapidly, though profitably, dur
ing the remaining three days. Roast
ers gained well during the first two
four-day periods, but not so well the
last six days. It was found that the
practice Of feeding hens only six to
eight days is well founded The dress
ing and chilling shrinkage Of hens,
however, was much less than in the
case Of broilers. springs and roasters.
Any of the ordinary cereal grains
supply the necessary carbohydrates
and fats. More care Is needed in Sc
lecting feeds for protein, salts and
vitamines. The proteins Of the cereal
grains are present in too small
amounts and are of too poor quality
to produce the best results in broilers
and springs unless other protein con-
centrates are added Milk and cereals
make one of the most profitable ra-
tons, as milk supplies mineral SUBJ
stances, vitamines and very valuable
proteins. The results given in the bull
letin show that peanut meal protein,
as well as soy-bean meal protein. is
especially valuable. The proteins Of
buttermilk are especially valuable
and IL used in sufficiently large
amounts produce very desirable re-
suits. Other protein concentrates are
meat and fish scraps, cottonseed meal.
coconut meal and sesame-seed meal.
Corn, wheat. oats and other grains
lack such mineral substances as cal
cium, sodium and chlorine which
growing animals require In the ra-
lions where buttermilk or skim milk
is used. these ingredients are fairly
well supplied. Milk also supplies vita
mines At present the milk available
