measure, II any, the federal govern
ment should adopt to Improve either
the farmers finances or his state OF
mind.
The President discussed the ngri.
| cultural problem recently with S,rre-
tary OF Commerce Hoover. He was
assured that reports reaching the de-
partment of Commerce from all parts
OF the country Indicated that the In
creased Industrial and commercial nc-
uvity would enhance the buying power
or American consumers this fall, thus
| making possible the absorption OF much
or the wheat and other farm products
which are now being figured as sur
plus.
This Is also the belief OF members
| Of the federal reserve board and the
federal farm loan board. These Off
Gals on the basis OF udviccs from
agents in the principal agricultural
regions OF the Middle West are OF the
opinion that the wheat growers espc-
cially will benefit by the expected
larger consumption and that their
fears of financial ruin are groundlcss.
a review of conditions In the wheat
harvesting regions. the President has
been informed. now dlscloses IL more
concerted tendency among farmers to
hold their wheat for high prices In
practically all cases where they arc
equipped for warehousing their own
products. Where warehousing Is I'm
practical, the federal government,
through It's various agencies, will use
every possible credit facility ~ aid the
farmers in getting their products mar
keted In an orderly manner.

I ACHING at this writing an official
~ statement OF Frances Intentions,
one can make close guess by reading
the inspired articles in the SEMI
Official newspapers Of Paris. These
are thus summarized by u correspond
ent:
First. the French openly illrt with
Germany toward direct negotiations
for solution Of the reparations ques-
ton, with the exclusion of Great Brit
ain or any other troublesome power.
Second, the French tell the British
and the Americans, too-in SO many
words that the only time they will pay
their war debts due Is after Germany
pays for the reconstruction Of the war
devastatiOns and pays in addition the
amounts due from France to London
and Washington.
Third. repulsing the Curzon sugges.
ton to refer the Ruhr occupation to
the world court. the French intimate
that they might ask The Hague to de-
eide whether the Versailles treaty pro-
vides that all reparations must be paid
before the interallied debts are recov-
cred and whether President Wilson's
! IA points provide that the allies pen
sions are among the obligations which
Germany must assume.
II all conciliatory plans fail. Pre-
mier Poincare will continue the occu-
patton of the Ruhr with increased
vigor and II necessary will seize the
valley OF the Main with Frankfort
and other cities In that rich region.
This would practically cut Germany
in two.
EOREIGN MINISTER CURZON'S
L note to France and Belgium. which
possibly brought the Frunco-British
entente to an end, said Great Britain
was tired Of diplomatic exchanges and
wanted Immediate action; that she be-
lIeved the occupation OF the Ruhr to
be Illegal and would submit that ques-
ton to the world court; and that
France must repay to Great Britain
enough Of the money lent her to en-
able Britain. with what she may re-
ceive from Germany. to pay her debt
to the United States. The note con-
cluded with definite threat to take
action for u separate settlement with
Germany.
France Is insulted by Curzons
,In hn I'M nj
ing that she never had the slightest
intention OF repudating her debts to
England and America. She points
out that the Ruhr occupation was first
suggested by England less than two
years ago. was justified by Sir Robert
Horne in the house of commons De-
tober 90 1920, and was authorized
by the reparations commission by 4
vote of three to one.
Regarding the allies debts, the

The Country Band.

One of the best features for a
country town is brass band. If
you can induce the mdsically inclin-
ed folks to practice regularly and
join such an organize ton, you have
an asset that will boom your town.
Country life provides favorable con-
ditions for developing fine musical
organization, There are not so
many diverse interests drawing peo-
pie in different directions so that
musicians will not practice regularly.
The open air concerts given by
many country bands draw visitors
from many miles around, which
helps the business interests of a
town. A brass band is such an add
vantage to a community that its
business men should be willing to
subscribe literally to buy music,
provide uniforms, and perhaps give
its members a little substantial re-
ward for their effort.

Takes News by Radio.

Spending a whole working day in
the editorial rooms of daily paper
taking news items by radio was the
novel experience last week of a Hur-
ley girl, Miss Virginia Emunson, at
Rockford, Ill. Miss Emunson, who
was graduated recently from a
business college at Rockford, an
swered the call for help from the
office of the Daily Republican on
account of members of the regular
force being ill., The news, she says,
came from many miles around Rock
ford, was first taken down in short
hand and then Transcribed and pre-
pared on the typewriter for the com
posing department. She declared
in writing to relatives here that it
was a novel experience and one that
she enjoyed thoroughly.
Incidentally it might be said that
many newspaper offices are now
equipped with radio service for news
gathering purposes, evidence of the
march of progress.

This country was built up by many
economies, both little and big ones.
One of the most important of them
is to teach young women to be skilful

save partly worn clothing by little

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. w. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

Keep down the overhead! This
is one Of the watchwords of any
successfully conducted business, and
it should apply with equal force to
the individual
Too many persons plunge into
individual expenses that are not
warranted by their incomes, Too
much rent, too much for clothes,
too much for Injuries and non
essentials, too much for amuse-
ments and too many of the thousand
and one little items of expense that
are SO easily incurred in this complex
modern life of ours This is how
overhead runs away with sound
practice in personal affairs.
A mistake often is made in con-
sidering individual incomes as pro-
fits. AS matter of fact, only in
dividual profits are what we save.
Therefore, if we would increase
these profits and get ahead more
rapidly we must reduce our eX-
penses. Of course, we should al
ways strive to increase our incomes
at the same time, but we should not
depend on the latter as the only
means of increasing our savings.
If you were to ask any good bust
ness man today what the overhead
of his business amounts to he could
tell you instantly Yet how few
individuals could without consider
able figuring tell the amount of
their personal overhead.
There is a growing tendency to-
ware humanizing business. There
should be a corresponding tendency
toward more businesslike methods
in individual practice.
More of the home in business and
more Of business in the home This
might to good advantage be made a
universal motto.
If you hope to get on in the world,
and secure the independence and
comfort that comes with the ac-
cumulation of material possessions,
watch your overhead.

The Wisconsin Agriculturist has
just gathered some, interesting facts
about the makes Of automobiles most
used by its subscribers.
An important revelation is that the
average price pad for his auto
mobile by the subscriber to The
Wisconsin AgrlcuIturist is consider
ably higher than by the average
automobile owner Of the state. That
is, while AZ per cent of all cars
registered in Wisconsin are other
than Fords, 81 per cent of the car
owners who subscribe to the Wiscon-
sin Agriculturist have automobiles Of
higher price than Fords.
One thousand letters were sent
on Nov 18th to subscribers asking,
"What make of automobile is owned
on your FARM" The names were
taken at random, some from each
county to give a reflection of the
entire state.
OF the 900 letters, there were
557 answers received, giving a total
OF 572 cars owned Forty-eight
subscribers answered that they had
no car, but sixty-four reported own
ing more than one. Herewith is the
percentage of cars reported in the
order of ownership:
Ford $780, Buick 81, Overland 80,
Dodge 90 Chevrolet %, Studebaker
81, Maxwell IS, Oakland Is, REQ u,
Nash 10, Case z, Oldsmobile 7,
