NEW ERA FOR
AGRICULTURE

New York.-A new era lies ahead
for agriculture because it now COM
mands the best economic thought Of
the business world directed on it's
prime requirements of better distribu-
ton and marketing, President w. G..
Gordon of the State Bank Division,
American Bankers Association, de-
clares in a recent communication to
the thirteen thousand members of
the division. He seeks to enlist their
interest in the work Of improving the
marketing of farm products.
"The farmer today finds himself
far removed from his consumer-cus-
toner by a long line of intermediate
agencies, which often leave him in a
position of disadvantage as an in
dividual producer" Mr.. Gordon says.
1T is, therefore. not strange that he
should seek to apply to agriculture
those principles of production and
distribution found successful in in
dustry. His rightful ambition is to
make, where feasible, a general APP
plication of successful business ex-
p~erience to the marketing of agricu+
tural products. Commanding the best
economic thought of the business
world, agriculture undoubtedly stands
on the threshold Of a new era In
lieu Of fantastic panaceas. agricultur-
al welfare-which, after all. is the
Nations welfare-has need of a sane,
long range program that is at once
practical. constructive and economi-
cally sound"
He goes on to call attention to the
Tong view program suggested for ag-
r~icultural distribution" at Washing
ton by the Agricultural Conference,

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
On Signing Papers for Strangers

ibid you hear about the terrible
thing that happened to Mrs. Thomp-
son, Aunt Emmy?' asked Maud. cit
seems that a man came to see her to
ask her to invest in some securities
his firm was selling, and she said she
did not have any ready money. He
asked her If she had some Liberty
Bonds, and she showed him her one
Liberty Bond, a thousand dollar one.
He told her that there were a number
of counterfeit bonds about and upon
examining her bond said there were
some marks that indicated it might be
spurious. Poor Mrs. Thompson near
ly tainted and begged the stranger to
tell her what to do about it.
"He told her not to be unduly alarm
ed, that there was a chance hat he
was mistaken. His firm was indig-
nant. he said, about the counterfeit
bonds that had been foisted on the
public and intended to do everything
in its power to run down the culprits.
They employed a man who was an
authority on ~counterfeits and he could
tell in a minute if her bond was good
or O So Mrs. Thompson let him
have the bond to take to his office for
examination"
sand. of course. he didn't bring Il
back" commented Aunt Emmy.
Worse than thatl" Maud went on.
HE said that, being a widow, she
should be very careful in her business
dealings, so he made her sign what he
called a receipt, although she didn't
read 1T. About a weeks after his visit
she received a number of shares of
stock that she says she never heard
of and certainly ave bought. So She
wrote to the Investment house the
stock came from and said she thought
a mistake had been made. Imagine
her surprise when she was informed
that she had signed an order for those
shares of stock in exchange for a 81
900 Liberty Bondi
First she was coming right over to

can be done about it, as the receipt
bearing her signature is really an or

II I'M sorry to hear this, Maud, 7"
said Aunt Emmy. What a pity she
! did not take her bond to the bank to
have it examined if that slick sales
man aroused suspicious in her mind
as to it's g~enuineness. She would have
been dealing with people of integrity,
whom she could trust absolutely. And
yet she allowed herself to be duped
by a perfect stranger!
"Yet there must be a lot of that sort

away from the honest people In the

New YORK NOW
CENTER OF WORLD
WIDE RADIO SERVICE
Ten Channels Of international
Service Established in
Five Years.

Transatlantic cable t~elegraphy Is
now some s~ixty-six years old; trans
atlantic radio communication. COM
mercially speaking, is less than I'VE
years old. There are now seventeen
cables on the. bottom Of the Atlantic
Ocean. connecting Great Britain and
France with the United States, and
there are seven radio transmitters on
the Atlantic coast. with one central
I aeefviag station, connecting the
nited States not only with Great
Britain and France. but also radio
direct t. Germany, Norway, Swe-
den. Italy, Poland, Argentina, Har
ana and Japan. These seven
transmitters and one receiver.
all joined together and controlled
from a single office at GA Broad street,
New York City, are o handling be-
tween rs and 80 per cent Of the total
number Of messages exchanged daily
Between the United States and
Europe. The remaining 70 to rs per
CEN of the traffic flowing between the
old world and the new Is carried hg
the seventeen cables on the Atlantie's
bed.
On the Pacific coast there is but
enc cable connecting the Orient with
the United States. The single radio
circuit that. serves this same Span
across the Pacific is now handling
nearly SO per cent OF the total trafic
between these two continents.
AS a result Of the foregoing, the
center of the worlds communicated
has been transplanted from Great
Britain to the United States. A
glance at a cable map shows that the
great majority Of the worlds cables
terminate in London. whereas the
greater majority Of the worlds radio
circuits terminate in New York.
1t is the feature Of direct communA-
cation, free from censorship. and from
interruption, that gives to radio is
greatest opportunity for future deveh
opment along commercial. political
and social lines.
