Farm, Outlook Best Since 1919
As Commodity Prices Adua,ce
Babson Declares Agricultural Recovery
and Effect on Business Most Vital
EUents of Past Year.

recovery of the farmer. the readjust-
ment of prices and the narrowing
of the price scale All of them mean
that the farmer is again in the mar
ket with both money and the in
clination TO spend it.
Drastic Price Decline.
A return implies absence and to
get the full significance of this de-
velopment we must understand just
where the farmer has been and why
he has been there. In 1918 things
were supposed to have been in n
reasonable balance. We may assume
that the farmer was then receiving
81 for his crops. 81 for his live stock
and that he was paying 81 for the
Industrial commodities that he need
ed. Under these circumstances trade
may go on freely and every one may
keep busy: BY 1920 we find that
things have changed The farmer
is now receiving SO for his crops, an
increase in income OF 200 per cent.
and he is paying $3.50, or an increase
of $50 per cent, for the things that
he must buy. Money flowed freely.
The following year the most drastic
price decline in history broke in upon
this generally pleasant scene Farm
prices tobogganed until the farmer
was again receiving 81 for his crop.
Industrial prices also came In for re-
adjustment, but they did not suffer so
seriously, and the close Of the year
round commodity prices at $3.50. Thus
the farmer had but 81, and the things
ne wanted were priced at $3.50. No
sale!
Evening star., 1925-01-03
Purchasing Power Lower.

In 1928 the situation was somewhat
better, but still the farmers income
from his crops was only $40, while
the things he needs in the industrial
world cost S1.75. The year 1924, how
ever has seen the readjustment COM
pleteo. Farm prices for crops have
risen to s1.5s and industrial prices
have receded to s1.55. The farmer is
again IN the market for the first time
since 1920. He has almost a billion
dollars more than he had last year, in
cash, ana the accumulated needs of
three lean years clamor to be filled.
This balancing of income and outgo
is vitally important to the farmer
and 10 those who do business with
him directly, but 1t is also of unusual
Importance to every one in the United
States regardless of occupation or
financial position. First. the farmer
is primary producer. Money in his
hands works its way through our
whole commercial fabric. More i'm
portant than this is the fact that the
farmer represents fully 80 per cent Of
our total market, and 1t is impossibIe
TO nave period of real prosperity
unless all groups are relatively pros
porous and are buying actively.
Years Most Vital Event,
The squirt In business which started
in the Fall of 1922 and ran over into
1923 was doomed for this reason: With
but 70 per cent of the prospects buy
ing. the factories filed all the orders
and soon got ahead of themselves.
The return of the son of the soil to
our markets. therefore, deserves first
position as the most important and
significant development of 1924. Cen
eral business as reflected by the Bab-
son chart is now slightly above nor
NAL. We may or may not see con-
tinuous and growing prosperity this
year, but at least one of the neces-
sary conditions for such prospe rity
has been fulfilled

turning of an important estate or lawsuit into a granary, out of which the lawyers whole family may feed for years and years to come. Lin coin came to his title of Honest Abe" on account of his scrupulous honesty with his clients and with other lawyers.
 Frequently, when legal matter is closed, there is wrangling between the client and his lawyer. In nine cases out of ten, the lawyer is only asking what his services were hon estly worth, considering the import ance of the matter, time put in, and favorable result obtained.
 One trouble seems to be that it is so hard for a lawyer in advance to tell his client frankly what the charges are likely to be per diem in office and in court, how much for favorable decision, how much for making the collection, how much for the compensation allowed by statute in estates, foreclosures, and other matters. What percentage is the lawyer to have on contingent matters? If these things are clearly understood by clients in advance, there is seldom a bit of trouble as to the fee. I think the suspicion which prevails is generally due to lack of understanding and occa- sional gouging.
 Pope said: "An honest man IS the noblest work of God." Shake speare said: "There is no legacy so rich as honestly" And Cervantes, ignoring the moral principal at stake says: "Honesty is the best policy"

"SOUAWS"

"I came down from Skagway on the Estabeth and on the same boat was a squaw with kid coming to serve on the grand jury. What is our country coming to."-Hearl in Juneau
 We wondered who this could be, and We were afraid, too, that this "foolish" woman would disgrace her people and give the 'enenoy' another handle to whip us with, so we watch ed.
 We learned afterwards that even after careful examination by the District Attorney, this womaA came through with credit to herself and to the United States. She had been to the schools, talked very good English, and was a real believer in Claw and order."
 There were two Indians on the last petit jury here in Ketchikan. They served on several of the hard est cases, passing the hostile exam ination of attorneys for both sides.
 After one murder case was fin ished, the district attorney asked a white juror, "What do you think of -(the Indian) as a juror?" The man answered, "If you had more jurors like those Indians, you would not lose so many of your booze cases"

In summing up MT. Bunnell says: "1n submitting the foregoing items 1 do so with due consideration of the fact that the resources of the Territory are limited and that econ omy in all branches of territorial activities must be strictly observed. In my opinion the foregoing is the least amount that will enable the College to continue it's work con- sistently and efficiently and meet the new demands that are being made upon it." All that we can say at this time is that $2OO,OOO.0O for a College at Fairbanks is a lot of money, for a Territory situated as we are, to spend. When the first appropriations were made for the College at Fairbanks the Legisla- ture was told that it would only be called upon to make the first ap- propriation, amounting to something like $5O,OO0OO,. and that the United States Government would pay the rest year after year. Last year the Fairbanks delegation asked for $145,OOO.OO, and got $9O,OOO.0O. This year MT. Bunnell says that $195,- OOO.OO is the very least that he can get along with.

HOW DO CLIENT SELECT
 A LAWYER?

to dndlyZe the mOC1VeS Wnlcn induce clients to go to one lawyer rather than to another, and I have made it my invariable custom to try to trace the source of, and causes for, new business coming into my office. Besides, 1 have frequently talked with laymen and with members of other professions on this interest ing subject In the hope that what I am writing will interest and be helpful to my brethren in the law, and especially to the younger mem- bers of the Bar, I am sending this to the Docket.
 There is no use saying anything about professional work produced by the pressure of social, political, financial, or lodge connections; we all understand that. The question is: What is it that produces work for the lawyer, where there is a fair field and no favors?
 I give it as my unqualified opin- ion that new business does not orig mate in extraordinary training, ex- perience, skill good looks, eloquence power, fame, or the ability "to put it over," except in certain classes of criminal cases.
 I firmly believe that in ninety-nine cases out of hundred, clients anl litigants try their very best to seek out and place their business in the hands of "an honest lawyer" Over and over again, I have heard liti- gants say that they went to such a lawyer because they knew he was an honest man and would not eat up the whole thing in fees. Often I have heard people says that they employed such and such a lawyer because they knew he would not "sell them out"
 Personally, I have never known os a lawyer "selling out" his client. 1 have never heard an inquirer ask first about the skill or influence Of a certain lawyer; always the first thing mentioned is whether or not the lawyer in mind is "honest." Of course, this does not apply to shady cases, when litigants think it is necessary to have some lawyer who can put it over.
 If I am stating the general rule truthfully, is there not here a valu- able lesson for the younger lawyers in particular? Might they not we'll throw to the winds theories of self exploitation by indirect advertising, not depend on business, social, or other connections, but plant them selves firmly on absolutely honest dealings with clients and everybody else? Nothing can stem the final success of such an honest lawyer, who has reasonable skill and has made proper preparation.

FAIRBANKS COLLEGE

Trustees of Fairbanks College Pres ident Bunnell said. ''The third year of the College has progressed in so satisfactory a manner that I am pleased to say to the Board of Trus- tees that the service it is render ing and vision of it's possibilities amply reward one for the additional work that the organization of such a project makes necessary.
 The total enrolment thus far for the year is 94. With the beginning of the second semester short courses will be organized in agriculture, home economies and mining. The indica- tions are that the total enrolment for the year will be over 100.
 The balance on hand is $11 1,1OO.42.
 The balance available for appara- tus and supplies 1924-25 from the Federal Endowment Funds is $8,- 133.59; funds for 1925-27 $1OO,OOO, total $1O8,133.59. Salaries, profess sors, 1925-27 $82,OO0.OO, balance available for apparatus $26,133.59.

Putnam Lawyer Has Intimate Knowledge of Cashier Gil
 patric's Transactions
Expert Accountants Employed For
 Many Weeks

Governor Trumbull has sent m in vitation to Attorney J. r. Carpentec of this city to call at the capitol when Mr Carpenter is in Hartford for the purpos. of an interview.
 Mr Carpenter Is attorney for the directors of the First National Bank, for the estate of Mary L. Gardner and for many of the individual credi- tors of the bank. including q number of the largest claimants.
 For two months or more expert accountants in the employ of Mr Carpenter have been employed in in vestignting transactions Of former cashier C. Harold Gilpatrie and in tracing bonds that were the property of his clients. The reports made to Mir. Carpenter by the expert account ants has put him in possession of many intimate facts concerning past transactions involving hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bonds and other securities.
 This fact is known to Governor Trumbull and it is believed that the governors request for an interview with the Putnam attorney is to ob- tain certain information that he has acquired through his investigations which may have a bearing on the situation that has developed in the state treasury at Hartford as 1t may refer to Gilpatrie's transactions dur ing his term as state treasurer.

\ special dispatch from Washing ton Wednesday. Co the Hartford "Coaraut." states that a Christmas pardon for former Cashier G. Harold Gilpatric. of the First National Bank of Putnam, who has served fourteen months of a fifteen year sentence in the federal prison at Atlanta has been denied. The pardon was recommend ed by Warden John W Shook of the penitentary and Is believed to be bas- ed on the fact that Gilpatrie is blind. So far as is known Gilpatric does not know that an attempt was made for his release by executive elemeney and the news ef the warden's action came as surprise to Gilpatfic's at torneys. friends and relatives in this section.
 Disapprov7s Plan
 There was an emphatic disapprovai by the United States district attor-
Putnam patriot., 1925-12-25

ney's office of tke plan to have Gil patric released at this time and it Is thought that the department ef jus tice. in declining to include Gilnatrie's name in the list forwarded to Pfesi- dent Coolidge for consideration for Christmas pardons. was in great measure due to the attitude of the federal officials in Connecticut.
 Cites Biiudness
 Warden Shook apparently acted on his own initiative. No one represent ed either Gilpatric or members of his family iu the request for pardon. The application cited the fact that the prisoner being tctallv blind. made so by a bullet he fired into his temple, August 2. 1924. and inasmuch as he cannot see it IS immaterial whether he be confined within four walls of a prison CT in his own home.
