Cooperation Stands
Out As Only Hope
American Farmer

The last few years have brought
out so many new things in the way
OF substitutes for the things the
farmer grows that the market for
many of the standard commodities Of
the farm of America are in danger of
being practically wrecked by the big
interests bringing in foreign goods
and substitutes. Only a wide-awake
organization on the job night and
dayday fighting for the rights Of the
American farmer can save him. We
nave and must continue to have and
increase the number, men second to
none on the job. The farm bloc in
congress today is proof of the fact.
Take the dairy business today. Un-
less something is done it will be
wrecked with substitutes and foreign
products. A million pounds OF but
ter has just reached this country
from Australia at 21 cents a pound.
This probably will be worked over
and sold to the consumer as a home
product at just enough off in price
to undersen the home product Eggs
from China threaten to make egg
production here Improbable.
We must either drop back 20 years
in our standard of living or we must
somehow make enough money to
maintain the present standard. This
we will not be able to do unless we
can marshal our forces and fight as
other business interests do for our
rights as farmers. Join the farm
bureau now.

Edge Says Arms
Conference Has
Scored Success:
TRepubIIcan A, p. Leased WIreJ


WASHINGTON. Dec. 31.-Senator
Edge, Republican OF New Jersey. in a
statement has declared that if the
Washington conference accomplishes
no more than to put q real bar
rier before possibilities of war be-
tween four powerful nations it has
scored a success" Senator Edges
statement in defense of what has
been done by the conference was
prompted, 1t was explained, because
or criticism, being made by some
members of the senate" The senator
said the conference had accomplished
considerable and the good done
should not be forced into the back
ground because of criticism Of some
men In public life"
Senator Edge said that in his judg-
ment the conference will go down
as establishing principles which will
accomplished more in preventing
wars and reducing governmental ex-
penditures than any previous effort
in the history of the world. If the
conference has furnished a means of
canceing the Anglo-Japanese al
lance, he added, (which we have al
ways considered inimical to our in
terests in the Pacific, and it has, II
has scored a success; il it contrib
utes to reducing burdensome taxes,
and it does, it has scored a success;
If it provides proper recognition by
other nations of our won rights in
Hawaii, Guam, the Philippines, and
it does, it has scored a success" The
senator concluded his statement with

FARM BUREAU NOTES
BY Bureau Publicity Committee

farmer cannot hope to succeed with
out an organization. AS conditions
now are, the farmer has absolutely
no voice in deciding what price he
shall receive for his product
There can be no revival in bust
ness generally until the farmers of
this country receive prices more In
line with what they have to pay.
The basis is all wrong and until the
business interests recognize the fact
and do something to bring about a
change there can be no real prosper
ity in this country. The farmers of
the south are fast realizing that only
through cooperative marketing Of
their cotton will the time come when
the agricultural interests Of the south
are no longer at the mercy of the
business world. A wonderful start
has been made"
Speaking of the farm bureau, ex-
Governor Lowden declared IT to be
the best farmers organization ever
attempted in the United States and
said he hoped that every farmer
would back it to the limit of his
ability. He is a member of the Ogle
County Farm bureau, the Illinois
Agricultural association, and the
American Farm Bureau federation.

WEEKLY FINANCIAL

NEW YORK. Dec. S1.-The final
week of one of the most memorable
years in the financial and general
economic history of the country was
attended by the usual bewildering
movements.
Trading in stocks was moderately
active, even though pubic or outside
interest seemed to be almost re-
stricted to selling by individuals and
corporations for establishing income
tax returns.
This also was true in lesser degree
of the bond list but liquidation in that
quarter was neutralized. II not wholly
offset by the confidence with which
new underwritings we're absorbed.
Views of competent observers re-
garding next years Industrial and
commercial prospects were reassur-
ing for what wall Street calls "the
long pull" Opinions were further
qualified, however. by the realization
that the 1921 foreign trade record will
show an enormous shrinkage from
that of the previous year.
Figures available indicate that Inn
ports for the year Will be curtailed by

pected to show a decrease OF 40 to IS

WEEKS REVIEW OF
THE STOCK MARKET
Furnished by A. w. coots,
Adams Hotel


NEW YORK, Dec. 31-At this time
few specific suggestions will be
probably welcomed as lonS-winded
dissertation on the general situation.
We all ought to know what this is
Everybody has been up against ii in
concrete form and the various shocks
to the Industrial and financial ma
chinery which proved inevitable have
In our opinion been principally ac-
complished. How to apply this gen.
eral proposition is the problem which
faces the investor and speculator.
There has been a rather interesting
movement in sugars during the week
and some people think they are in
for jump. 1t is tempting to buy
into sugar as q commodity and the
stocks are also engaging the atten-
ton OF people who figure every other
commodity having gone up sugar
must do so. We think they are right
but fundamentally 1t is still a little
early for any big movement in sugar
stocks in our judgment because the
real problem is to cut down the prod
uction in Cuba from four to about
three million tons or less. This
means some of the weaker properties
must go out Of business and we don't

while this painful process is under
way.
The general list Is stiIl in the same
confused state, with some stocks up
on real investment absorption, others
run up on short covering and still
third classification under pool
operations. the latter having attract
ed comparatively few customers in
most cases, The equipments are an
exception, because in the case Of the
best companies 1t is possible to point
to a very strong treasury position
with prospects for good earnings
whenever the railroads can buy.
Baldwin and American Locomotive
are the most attractive, but II we
bought, we would not let them run
loose and prefer picking up on weak
ness.
The steeis should logically improve
on normal basis Of comparison, be-
fore the equipments. II is the fact
that the railroads are forced under
foolish remnants Of the McAdoo re-
girne TO give out work which they
ought to do In their OWE shops, which
provides the immediate speculative
argument for the latter. What the
roads really need most of all Is not
moro cars under low current volume
OF traffic but rails. Joints, switches,
etc. The steel corporation Is in such
fundamentally strong position that
paying five per cent and with a call
on this business whenever II comes
1t looks more attractive than any,
thing else. However. we do not think
people who buy Lackawanna or Re-
public at current levels will loose any
money.
With best wishes to all for happy
New Year and the sound conviction
on our part that 1922 is going to give
us ell chance TO make some money
on the constructive side.
Among issues that we like in their
various categories are Allis Chalmer,
American Can, preferred; Hide, pre-
ferred: American Ice preferred.
American Locomotive, American To-
bacco, Coco Cola. Consolidated Gas.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The brief
trading period which marked the
close of the year on the stock ex-
change developed no special fea-
lures.
Standard issues, both rails and In
dustrials, once more gave way TO
specialties. some of these being

special stocks including some OF the
more obscure issues. Among these
was Phillips-J which rose 13
points on nominal dealings. sales

The bond market also was devoid
of features, although relatively more
active than stocks. Realizing for
profits caused moderate easement

and the domestic list moved sluggish

$s.275, 900.
British exchange held around yes-

continental rates were substantially

CHICAGO, Dec. 31-Powerful sup

quence net changes were limited.
December wheat was the sole ex-
ception, that option closing three
cents lower after excited shorts had
bid 1t up at the start. May and
July wheat closed UNCHANGED. corn
was % to ss lower, oats u to u
lower and provisions irregularly five
lower to five cents higher.
Trade in wheat started fairly large
but the initial offerings were taken
promptly and when Ii was seen that
the larger interests would support
the market, the downward tendency
was checked. f. w. Wagner, head Of
the firm that was in difficulties, said
its open accounts totalled about g.
100000 bushels in all markets, main
ly in Winnipeg and Chicago. Mime
apolis reported about half a million
bushels had been liquidated there.
About the only other factors of
moment We're year-end evening up
trades. The mid season, period was
comparatively quiet except in De-
cember wheat, which fluctuated
wildly and then slumped sharply in
the final half hour when the inter-
ests supporting the market ignored
it. The general outcome of the day
was regarded as satisfactory, but
many traders heaved sighs of relief
when the gong ended 1921 transac-
tions.
Corn had some early support when
the Wagner movement was on but
turned dull and heavy later. Oats
followed suit.

steady provisions but they were
slightly easier with grains. There

The Coco-Nut ColU
Turning q NeLD Leaf

A new breed of COW has been trot-
ted out by the South Sea islanders.
This new COW can do so many more
stunts than the regulation bossy, and
she promises to outdo the mechani-
cal COW proposed by Henry of jitney
fame. For behold, she produces door
mats, soaps, candles, coco-nut oil,
shampoos, calking material, and 9TH
er articles too numerous to mention.
Our chief concern about this new
cow Is her contribution OF coco-nut
oil which is added to skinned milk,
for making condensed and evaporat-
ed milk. If this practice is allowed
to go on, 1t will be only matter OF
time until this new cow furnishes the
cream for fresh milk. Such a prac-
tice would no only give our dairy In
dustry body blow, but would un-
dermine the health of the nation.
Coco-nut oil is lacking in the ele-
ments necessary for growth, which
are found in the fat of cows milk
There is bill in congress now to
regulate the sale OF this filled milk"
1t ought to be passed.
1t has been suggested that a good
motto for all farm bureau members
for the new year will be: Il will not
criticise nor condemn the farm bu-
reau for failure to get results unless
and until l myself have personally
given time. thought and labor to help
get those results l have been grum-
bling about"
The worst grumblers and kickers
about the results of the BARN bureau
are without doubt those who have
done little or nothing to help the
cause along, in many cases never at
tended single meeting of the local
to which they are supposed to be-
long. Some signed a note for their
dues in the beginning and made no

grumble, because they haven't done
