Announcement of the sale of Dodge Brothers automobile
plants to a New York syndicate for SITS, 5000 DOC, followed by
purchase by the British and Standar Oil interests of control in
Doheny's oil companies for approximately $40, 900, 600, indicates
monopiies is impending. A new golden age is being inaugurated
for the INSCRIPTIONS business adventurer, who is already cashing
IN on the stock and grain markets, and starting a cleanup in
industries"
The preceding paragraph was taken for an editorial in a
daily paper which crculates in one of the most prosperous states
In the union. The inference to be drawn from this editorial are
that big business in general is crooked and that it's main purpose
is to rob the public. Right now this country is in just about
the most prosperous condition it has ever experienced in normal
times. Wages are good, hours of labor are short, there is prac-
ticaly no unemployment and the purchasing value of farm crops
is at a fair average figure.
What is big business? 1t is nothing more nor less than an
industry large enough to supply the demands of ITO million
people in our country and such foreign trade as it can secure.
The ownership of the modern big business is rapidly being trans
ferred to millions of Americans through sale of its securities
in small amounts to employees, customers and investors. No
country in the world today has the advantages which big bus
mess has given to the United States.
Where can you get an automobile at the price for which it
can be purchased in the United States? Where can you buy
gasoline at a figure anywhere near that charged the American
motorist? Where can you get railroad transportation at a
utility service, such as electricity, telephone and radio at any
where near the American figure? Where can you travel for
hundreds and thousands of miles on paved highways as you
can in this country? Where else in the world is there as great
homes as in America? Where ar there as many newspapers,
magazines and books printed? Where are there Is many schools
and colleges, churches and amusement places per capita of popu-
Iation? Where else in the world can you point to the rich ma
and the poor man, each using all of the conveniences mentioned
on a basis of equality, except in the United States?
Have the American people the intelligence to look around
and realize that right now they are in the midst of prosperous
conditions? Have they learned from past experience that the
wolf cry of the agitator in 80 cases out of a hundred has been
for a selfish political purpose which cared little for the damage
done to the country?
The paragraph quoted contains the ingredients from which
discomfort can be brewed providing a credulous public will permit
itself to be duped with this brand of bootleg reasoning.

SOMETHING NEW COMES FROM

In California they have organized an association which will
bear study. It's name is the Better American Federation and
among its objects are the following:
To reawaken in America a realization of the RESPONSIBILITIES
of citizenship.
10 induce a more general and intelligent acceptance of those
responsibilities.
To oppose, through printed and spoken word, all efforts
to substitute any other theories of government in place of the
Constitution of the United States.
To oppose the development of class consciousness and the
class domination of government, business or society.
To support the employer and employee in all the rights
guaranteed them under the Constitution of the United States.
To defend the rights of private property as the only prac-
tcal incentive to the full exercise of individual energy, skill and
thrift.
This is a program which every real American can subscribe
to- Most of the attacks by the reds and radicals in America
are conferred on the Constitution of the United States because
they know that so long as it stands as a sentinel of the people,
there will be no chance to substitute other schemes of govern
ment in the United Staes.
Half baked theories of government which can have no stand
ing except in the distorted minds of those who have give them
birth, will not stand up against the Constitution so long as it
continues to operate the preachers of communism, socialism and
anarchy will make little Roadway in the United States.

SURE GUIDES TO SUCCESS

Chauncey M. Depew, who has been prominent in national
politics and public affairs since 1860, when he was elected sec
rotary of state of New York, said on his ninety-frst birthday
recently:
$50 1 have come to the conclusion, after a long experience
and many large observations with mature judgment, properly
based, and properly buttressed, that the only sure guides to
success are character, health and happiness. Each man of my
age receives personally and by letter innumerable inquiries of
how to be happy, how to be healthy and how to live long. Hap
piness has a curious quality in that it increases by its distribu-
ton. Longevity is largely a matter of curbing appetites, until
temperance and moderation become habits, and from this review
which L have made of the world at large, of our own country
and our own community, 1 am more firmly convinced than ever
that this is a mighty good world to live in, inhabited by mighty
companionable and lovable people, and 1 want to stay here as
long as l can"

BE KIND TO THE INCOME.

The average income is what the average man has to live on;
his necessities should be governed by the amount of that in
come; Injuries may be INDUCED in if the amount of income is
greater than the amount required for necessities. And we know
that extravaganza and waste are the result of trying to put up
"a front" or make a show" in an effort to impress others. The
high cost of living is not a myth, but the fellow who revised 1t
to read the cost of high living" wos more of a philosopher than a
humorst. A great deal of the unhappiness and confusion of our
modern life is caused by a disregard of the income. Don't pile
I'D too heavy a load for it.-Memphis Commercial Appeal.

WIRED PHOTO SERVICE

The American Telephone & Telegraph company is ready
to transmit photographs by wire from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The time consumed in the Photographic process is about
three-quarters of an hour, which is on par with the post rapid
newspaper photography.
A photograph can be filed in New York at 8 a. m. and an
hour later. or at 6 a. M, Pacific Coast time, be available in the
San Francisco newspapers.
The new service is expected to be of great value to pub
fishers, to the police in catching criminals. to banks in verifca-
ton of signatures, and to mercantile establishments generally.
Once more private industry gives the American people a
service unparalleled in world history.

Fight Crust Conserve Moisture
SCATTERING RAINS THROUGH BEET GROWING
DISTRICTS PRESENT CRUST PROBLEM
ON MANY FIELDS

Showers, as every beet grower knows, may be fol-
lowed by crust, one of the most serious threats to the
stand.
Where recent light rains terminated the seed the
crust problem is particularly to be watched. Where
the stand is ready for thinning aeration in the soil is no
less important. And the inducement a crust offers to
damage from blowing should put every grower on guard
against possible loss of stand from this direction.
On the whole there are few cases where the use of
a roller is as advisable as a light narrowing, to break
crust on unthinned beet fields. In the North Platte
Valley of Nebraska where the prevailing light soils have
given beet farmers the broadest possible experience
with crust, a special light harrow is used to cope with
this condition. Around Fort Collins, Eaton and Greeley,
districts, the "crust harrow" has found increasing favor.
Just as "the eye of the farmer fattens his
Stock so does the watchfulness of the grower
determine his success with handling a cruSted
beet field. Generally there is a 'just right
time for entering the field to handle the crust.
The grower must keep his eye on the field and
get in with some tOOl-generally the light har-
row if the stand has not been thinned just
at that right time.
A rolling may invite loss of moisture, and where
the roller is most popular there has been a deficiency of
moisture this spring. A narrowing will form a shallow
mulch and retard evaporation OF subsoil moisture.
Where showers have been lacking in number and
in total precipitation this spring it is of the utmost i'm
portance to conserve moisture. A cultivation preceding
and Immediately following the thinning will help. Fur
Their civilizations following each shower, beginning the
moment the ground is in condition for working, may
be needed.
Regardless of adverse conditions, some farmers
in each locality get better yields than their %neighbors
on the same type of soils and with other factors equal,
merely by the greater watchfulness and care they ex-
ercise at the critical stage of the beet crop. You, too,
can be in the better yield class.
